Article Abstract

Green synthesis selenium nanorods (Se-NRs) were produced based on Aloe vera leaf extract. The size, morphology, antimicrobial, and activation of Se-NRs for probiotics were analyzed. The Se-NRS was stable with a diameter of 12 and 40 nm, had an antimicrobial effect, and improved probiotics counts. The microcapsules loaded with Green Se-NRS (0, 0.05 or 0.1 mg/100 ml) and probiotics (Bifidobacterium lactis and Lactobacillus rhamnosus) were designated with efficiency between 95.25 and 97.27% and irregular shapes. Microcapsules were saved probiotics against gastrointestinal juices. The microcapsules were showed a minor inhibition effect against the cell line. Also, microcapsules integrated into stirred yogurt and exanimated for microbiology, chemically, and sensory for 30 days. The probiotics counts, acidity, total solids, and ash values of samples were increased during storage periods without affecting fat and protein contents. The overall acceptability of yogurt with microcapsules containing probiotics and Se-NRs was high without change in body, odor, color, and appearance.

The multifunctional systems presented here introduce an innovative and deeply thought-out approach to the more effective and safer use of temozolomide (TMZ) in treating glioma. The developed hydrogel-based flakes were designed to address the issues of local GBL therapy, bacterial neuroinfections, and the bleeding control needed during tumor resection. The materials obtained comprise TMZ and vancomycin (VANC) loaded into cyclodextrin/polymeric capsules and embedded into gelatin/hyaluronic acid/chitosan-based hydrogel films cross-linked with genipin.

Multifaceted characterization of lactoferrin and (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) interactions: development of the pickering emulsions for microencapsulated functional foods.

In this study, we explored the application of lactoferrin-(-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (LF-EGCG) complex with rapeseed, soybean, walnut, peanut and sesame oil for the preparation of Pickering emulsions and its spray-dried microcapsules. Spectroscopy and molecular docking revealed that LF-EGCG binds via hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces. Structural analysis demonstrated that 0.

Objectives: The study aimed to combine instant-release and mini-tablet methodologies to develop novel orally disintegrating mini-tablets (ODMTs) for a frequently pescribed antibiotic, cefixime trihydrate (CT), in paediatric patients.

Materials And Methods: CT-loaded microcapsules were prepared using Eudragit EPO and Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose E50 by spray drying technique. The optimized microcapsules were mixed with co-processed ready-to-use tableting excipients, Ludiflash and Pearlitol 200SD, in different proportions and then compressed into ODMTs and evaluated.

Recent advances in neural regeneration have demonstrated the importance of incorporating proteins into polymeric capsules to provide both topographical and biochemical cues to cells. Coaxial electrospinning has emerged as a versatile technique for embedding delicate bioactive agents within core-shell nanofibers, enabling controlled and sustained drug release. In this study, we employed a design-of-experiment approach to systematically investigate how controllable parameters in coaxial electrospinning influence the diameter and size distribution of aligned poly (ethylene oxide-poly(l-lactide-co-glycolide) nanofibers loaded with nerve growth factor (NGF).

Increased weight-bearing load reduces biological body weight while sodium and water balances are unaffected.

Increased weight-bearing load has previously been shown to reduce body weight in obese rodents, primarily by lowering food intake. However, it remains unclear whether increased loading also affects body weight through acute changes in extracellular water. This study aimed to determine whether increased weight-bearing load acutely produces negative sodium and water balances, as indicators of changes in whole-body extracellular sodium and water content.
