Article Abstract
Background/aim: Systemic lupus erythematosus-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SLE-PAH) is a severe complication marked by elevated pulmonary artery pressure, leading to exertional dyspnea and right-sided heart failure. Standard treatments frequently fall short in effectively controlling symptoms, highlighting the need for innovative therapeutic approaches. This aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of molecular hydrogen therapy in a patient with SLE-PAH with decompensated right-side heart failure.
Case Report: We present the case of a 51-year-old female diagnosed with SLE-PAH in 2012. Despite treatment with vasodilator agents, her condition worsened following an episode of sepsis, leading to severe dyspnea and oxygen desaturation since 2018. In March 2024, molecular hydrogen therapy was introduced as an adjuvant treatment. The patient received daily hydrogen capsules, which resulted in an increased percentage of Tr1 cells, and a decreased percentage of Treg cell subsets, B cell subsets, marginal cell, and plasma cell. Her clinical symptoms stabilized, and no adverse effects or complications were observed.
Conclusion: This case study highlights the potential efficacy of molecular hydrogen therapy in a patient with SLE-PAD and decompensated right-sided heart failure precipitated by sepsis. Further research is needed to confirm its therapeutic benefits, particularly its ability to modulate immune markers and improve clinical outcomes.

Background: Kaempferol (KAE), a bioactive flavonoid, has limited solubility and stability in water. Zein-gum arabic (GA) nanoparticles (NPs) are promising carriers for KAE, but the influence of preparation methods on their structure and properties remains unclear. This study investigated the effect of preparation method on the structure and properties of KAE-loaded zein-GA NPs.

Frozen storage deteriorates the texture and digestibility of frozen rice dough by damaging gliadin structure and starch integrity. This study investigated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCNa) as cry-oprotectants to mitigate these effects. Comprehensive analysis utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), texture profile analysis (TPA), dynamic contact angle measurement (DCAT21), reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), and circular dichroism (CD) demonstrated that 1.

This study utilized integrated sensory-guided, machine learning, and bioinformatics strategies identify umami-enhancing peptides from , investigated their mechanism of umami enhancement, and confirmed their umami-enhancing properties through sensory evaluations and electronic tongue. Three umami-enhancing peptides (APDGLPTGQ, SDDGFQ, and GLGDDL) demonstrated synergistic/additive effects by significantly enhancing umami intensity and duration in monosodium glutamate (MSG). Furthermore, molecular docking showed that these umami-enhancing peptides enhanced both the binding affinity and interaction forces between MSG and the T1R1/T1R3 receptor system, thereby enhancing umami perception.

Nanoparticles in their pure colloidal form synthesized by laser-assisted processes such as laser ablation/fragmentation/irradiation/melting in liquids have attained much interest from the scientific community because of their specialties like facile synthesis, ultra-high purity, biocompatibility, colloidal stability in addition to other benefits like tunable size and morphology, crystalline phases, new compounds and alloys, and defect engineering. These nanocolloids are useful for fabricating different devices mainly with applications in optoelectronics, catalysis, sensors, photodetectors, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrates, and solar cells. In this review article, we describe different methods of nanocolloidal synthesis using laser-assisted processes and corresponding thin film fabrication methods, particularly those utilized for device fabrication and characterization.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have great potential as versatile platforms for proton conduction. However, the commonly applied 2D COFs that are easy to design and synthesize have only 1D channels for proton conduction, limiting the formation of continuous hydrogen bonds due to the anisotropy between their crystalline grains. Herein, we report a strategy to construct 3D channels in 2D COFs by using rotaxane structures and eliminate the strong interlayer π-π interactions, facilitating the formation of smooth 3D proton-transfer pathways during guest doping.
