Summary :
⁣M. pumilum has been claimed to protect the bone against the adverse effect of estrogen deficiency. Additionally, it also exhibits anti-diabetic activity. In view of these, this study aims to identify the mechanisms underlying the bone protective effect of M. pumilum in the presence of both estrogen deficiency and diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: Ovariectomized, diabetic female rats were given M. pumilum leave aqueous extract (MPLA) (50 and 100 mg/kg/day), estrogen, glibenclamide and estrogen plus glibenclamide for 28 consecutive days. At the end of the treatment, fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum insulin, Ca2+, PO4 3- and bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP) levels were measured. Rats were sacrificed and femur bones were harvested for determination of expression level and distribution of RANK, RANKL, OPG and oxidative stress and inflammatory proteins by molecular biological techniques.

Summary :
⁣A solid-solid reaction took place at 1000°C during 4 h, using a mixture of pure iron oxide- Fe2O3 and pure zinc oxide – ZnO in order to synthesize zinc ferrite-ZF of different compositions: (S1) Fe2O3/ZnO:3/2, (S2) Fe2O3/ ZnO:1/1, (S3) Fe2O3/ZnO:4/1 and (S4) Fe2O3/ ZnO:2/1. Each of these mixtures were milling during 24 h before the thermic treatment carried out. S1, S2, S3 and S4 samples were became to M1, M2, M3 and M4 samples respectively, which after that were thermally characterized using DSC, DTA and TG techniques. In sequence the ZF produced were examined using XRD, optical and magnetic techniques, SEM & TEM. XRD analysis shows up as contains of equimolar ZF: M3 (73.20%), M4 (28.00%) and M2 (2.10%) as non-stoichiometric phases of ZF: 31.80% of Zn0.95Fe1.78O3.71 and 30.40 % of Zn1.08Fe1.92O4 in M4; Zn0.97Fe2.02O4 in M3 and 35.30% of Zn0.54Fe2.46O4 in M1. Previous studies of magnetic characterization observed a little hysteresis of this equimolar ZF. The results of estimation of the band gap energy (Eg) via the manipulation of the Kubelka-Munk theory allowed to determine that the samples M1, M2, M3 and M4 are considered semiconductors (3.66 and 3.76 eV).

Summary :
⁣Flexible, biocompatible electrodes are essential for the development of future wearable and implantable medical devices. While silver nanowire (AgNW) networks are promising candidates for transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs), they suffer from issues such as high roughness, low adhesion, and atmospheric corrosion sensitivity. Many flexible electrodes are made of a wrinkled conductive layer on top of a compliant substrates. Wrinkles provide a way to maintain the integrity and conductivity of the electrode while it is being stretched or bent. In this study, we report on the characterization of semi-transparent electrodes on cellulose nanopaper (CNP) substrates using a plasmaenhanced pulsed laser deposition (PE-PLD) technique. We combined AgNW with titanium nitride (TiN) layers to form wrinkled conducting nano-composite coatings with excellent electromechanical properties. Our results show that the incorporation of AgNW into TiN coatings improves the electrode’s electro-mechanical robustness. Additionally, our data show that CNP/TiNAgNW electrodes exhibit improved stability in air compared to bare AgNW coatings with improved adhesion. These findings have important implications for the development of bio-compatible flexible electronics and could pave the way for the creation of new wearable and implantable medical devices.

Summary :
⁣A sterile dressing was devised using a combination of sodium alginate and gelatin as the most suitable polymers along with a small quantity of gellan gum (0.1%), selected out of a range of polymers to co-incorporate a pre-optimised and autoclavable curcumin loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (CSLNs) and live probiotic (Lactobacillus plantarum). The dressing was optimized for polymer concentration and other characteristics using a central composite design. It exhibited a swelling ratio of 412 ± 36%, in vitro degradation time of 3 h, optimal water vapor transmission rate of 1516.81 ± 155.25 g/m2/day, high tensile strength, low-blood clotting index, case II transport, and controlled release of curcumin. XRD indicated strong interaction between employed polymers. FESEM revealed a porous sponge like meshwork embedded with L. plantarum and CSLNs. Polyphenolics like curcumin can improve probiotic effects. Both probiotics (bacteriotherapy) and curcumin promote wound healing via antimicrobial activity, inhibition of pathogenic toxins, immunomodulation, and anti-inflammatory actions. Combination of CSLNs with probiotic enhanced (560%) its antimicrobial effects against planktonic cells and biofilms of skin pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus 9144. The dressing degraded and released L. plantarum, which germinated in the wound bed and exhibited faster wound closure and lowered bioburden in the wound area in mice. This was coupled with a decrease in wound biomarkers and antioxidant enzymes, establishing multiple healing pathways. It was as effective as the silver nanoparticle-based marketed hydrogel dressing; however, the cost and risk of developing resistance would be much lower currently.

Summary :
⁣To enhance the lifetime of mechanical system such as automobile, new reliability methodology – parametric Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) – suggests to produce the reliability quantitative (RQ) specifications— mission cycle—for identifying the design defects and modifying them. It incorporates: (1) a parametric ALT plan formed on system BX lifetime that will be X percent of the cumulated failure, (2) a load examination for ALT, (3) a customized parametric ALTs with the design alternatives, and (4) an assessment if the system design(s) fulfil the objective BX lifetime. So we suggest a BX life concept, life-stress (LS) model with a new effort idea, accelerated factor, and sample size equation. This new parametric ALT should help an engineer to discover the missing design parameters of the mechanical system influencing reliability in the design process. As the improper designs are experimentally identified, the mechanical system can recognize the reliability as computed by the growth in lifetime, LB, and the decrease in failure rate. Consequently, companies can escape recalls due to the product failures from the marketplace. As an experiment instance, two cases were investigated: 1) problematic reciprocating compressors in the French-door refrigerators returned from the marketplace and 2) the redesign of hinge kit system (HKS) in a domestic refrigerator. After a customized parametric ALT, the mechanical systems such as compressor and HKS with design alternatives were anticipated to fulfil the lifetime – B1 life 10 year.

Summary :
⁣Two-dimensional (2D) materials have shown great promise in next-generation devices due to their atomic thinness and broad electronic properties. To realize these post-silicon electronics, it will be necessary to electrically connect these 2D materials both in- and out-ofplane. However, the lattice mismatch between these atomic membranes leads to unavoidable strain, dislocations, or ripples, which can strongly affect the mechanical, electronic, and optical properties. This presentation will discuss using state-of-the-art four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy (4D-STEM) techniques to address how different 2D materials merge to form lateral heterostructures. The study has enabled discoveries of the intricate and complex interface structures unique to 2D materials. Subsequent control or engineer of these deformations can profoundly impact future material and device development.

Summary :
⁣An experimental study of the graphene conductivity in an aqueous environment is carried out in this study. The presence of a time dependence of the graphene resistivity in water is established. In addition, the characteristic relaxation times of resistivity are determined when graphene is immersed in water and then dried. The resistivity temperature dependence is used to estimate the values of the band gap arising in graphene due to water contact. Based on the analysis of molecular dynamics modeling data, a possible mechanism responsible for the opening of the band gap in graphene is proposed. This mechanism is associated with the inhomogeneous tangential electric field appearance in the plane of the graphene flake, caused by water molecules structured near the graphene surface.

Summary :
⁣We consider the effects of the external static magnetic field on the electronic and physical properties in the excitonic AA-stacked bilayer graphene. We have considered the effect of coupling between the magnetic field B and the spins $\sigma$, which results in the phase modulation of the particles in the system or the spin-dependent magnetic field $B_{\sigma}$. We have constructed the wave strings attached to the particles, for each given periodic interval of the phases, governed by spins. We have calculated the electronic band structure of the AA-bilayer, in the presence of transverse magnetic field and we have found the Metal-Semiconductor-Insulator transition in the AA-bilayer graphene, governed by the strength of applied magnetic field. The spins in our problem are considered as localized along the direction of applied field or opposite to it. The transition into Dirac’s spectrum of usual graphene is also discussed at certain band structure parameters regimes.

⁣Hemorrhagic ascites associated with pleural effusion due to endometriosis is an uncommon presentation rarely reported in the medical literature. We present a case of a 29-year-old woman with a history of primary infertility .She presented to the emergency department for asthenia, abdominal swelling and pain. On examination she was stable with signs of massive ascites and right-sided pleural effusion. This was confirmed on ultrasound scan and computed tomography. A magnetic resonance imaging was performed to define the nature of fluid .It shows an abundant ascites (figure a) and right pleural effusion (figure b) seen as hyperintense signal on T1 weighted sequences due to hematic component. Paracentesis was done reveling a bloody ascetic fluid. She declined a pleurodesis for the pleural effusions. The patient was treated with a GnRH analogues with progressive reduction of pleural effusion This report of case draws attention to this presentation as a complication of endometriosis. This suggests that clinicians should include endometriosis in the differential diagnoses of middle-age women presenting with bloody ascites and pleural effusion in addition to infection and malignancy.

Summary :
⁣A series of alloy system take place in a class of functional materials due to stimulus response to external effect. Shape memory alloys take place in this group by exhibiting a peculiar property called shape memory effect. This phenomenon is characterized by the recoverability of two certain shapes of material at different conditions. Shape memory effect is initiated with thermomechanical processes on cooling and deformation, and performed thermally on heating and cooling, with which shape of the materials cycle between original and deformed shapes in reversible way. Therefore, this behavior can be called Thermal Memory or Thermoelasticity. This deformation is plastic deformation, due to the soft character of the material in low temperature condition, deformation energy is stored in the material and released on heating by recovering the original shape. These alloys are used as shape memory devices in many fields such as medicine, metallurgy, building industry. This property is result of two displacive transformations, thermal and stress induced martensitic transformations. Thermal induced martensitic transformation occurs on cooling with cooperative movements of atoms by means of lattice invariant shears in <110 > -type directions on the {110} - type planes of austenite matrix, along with lattice twinning and ordered parent phase structures turn into the twinned martensite structures. Twinned structures turn into the detwinned structures by means of stress induced martensitic transformation, by stressing material in the martensitic condition. Atomic movements are confined to the neighbor atom distances, and martensitic transformations are diffusionless or displacive transformations.

Summary :
⁣Twenty two RNA therapies reached the medical market by Q1 2023. Targeted intracellular delivery remains the key requirement. For refinements of nanocarriers we focus on a bioinspired, sequence-defined process including (i) artificial amino acids (ii) precise assembly into sequences by solid phase-assisted synthesis (iii) screening for delivery and selection of top candidates. A recent chemical evolution library combined aminoethylene amino acids as polar protonatable units with novel lipo amino fatty acids (LAFs) as hydrophobic protonatable motifs. These novel double pH-responsive nucleic acid carriers utilize intracellular delivery mechanisms of both cationizable lipids and cationic polymers. The endosomal pH-dependent tunable polarity of LAF was successfully implemented by a central tertiary amine, which disrupts the hydrophobic character once protonated, resulting in drastic pH-dependent change in the logarithmic (octanol/ water) distribution logD from around +1 (pH 7.4) to -1 (pH 5.5). This “molecular chameleon character” turned out to be advantageous for mRNA, siRNA or CRISPER/Cas9 sgRNA delivery. The efficiency of best performers was up to several 100-fold higher compared to previous carriers. Transfection activity of mRNA lipoplexes was maintained even in the presence of 90% serum and at extremely low dosage of 3 pg mRNA (~2 nanoparticles/cell), in the range of the viral potency. mRNA lipoplexes showed great in vivo performance in mice with high expression levels in spleen, tumor, lung, and liver upon intravenous administration of 1 μg luciferase mRNA.

Summary :
⁣MoS2 monolayer, a prototypical transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), with high carrier mobility and apt optical properties have often been used in photocatalysis. Janus (MoSSe) too follows the same. However, the usage of these monolayers is limited by the carrier (e- -h+) recombination, making it imperative to examine their bilayer van der Waals heterostructure (vdW HTS), where the spatial separation of e--h+ on two layers reduce recombination. The design of bilayer vdW HTSs here, consists of TMDs (HfS2, ZrS2, TiS2, WS2) and transition metal oxides (TMOs) (HfO2, T-SnO2, T-PtO2). The present work displays curiosity in their Z-scheme photocatalytic capability, where faster interlayer e--h+ recombination as compared to that of intralayer, is required for efficient spatial charge separation and hence, redox reactions. We have performed first-principles based calculations under the framework of (hybrid) density functional theory (DFT) and manybody perturbation theory (GW approximation), to obtain the band edge levels and optical spectra, respectively.

Summary :
⁣⁣MoS2 monolayer, a prototypical transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), with high carrier mobility and apt optical properties have often been used in photocatalysis. Janus (MoSSe) too follows the same. However, the usage of these monolayers is limited by the carrier (e- -h+) recombination, making it imperative to examine their bilayer van der Waals heterostructure (vdW HTS), where the spatial separation of e--h+ on two layers reduce recombination. The design of bilayer vdW HTSs here, consists of TMDs (HfS2, ZrS2, TiS2, WS2) and transition metal oxides (TMOs) (HfO2, T-SnO2, T-PtO2). The present work displays curiosity in their Z-scheme photocatalytic capability, where faster interlayer e--h+ recombination as compared to that of intralayer, is required for efficient spatial charge separation and hence, redox reactions.
