Topical delivery of NSAIDs through organogels might transport lornoxicam to the site of action, minimizing gastrointestinal problems and adverse effects. In the current investigation, a lecithin organogel containing lornoxicam was made by microemulsion method. For this purpose, a certain amount of pure soya lecithin was dispersed in suitable isopropyl myristate as a dispersant and emulsifier at room temperature to form the oily phase. The lecithin was completely dissolved in the combination by the next morning. Sorbic acid was then added to the mixture as a preservative, Pluronic F-127 and potassium sorbate were weighed out, and then they were mixed with cold water to create an aqueous phase, and menthol was added. On the next morning, lornoxicam, the active component, became soluble in polyethylene glycol-400 and combined with the lecithin isopropyl palmitate mixture. The oily portion was agitated using a mechanical stirrer at 400 rpm while the aqueous phase was introduced gradually. The lornoxicam organogel preparation was it was assessed for its physical appearance, organoleptic characteristics, consistency, gelation temperature, drug content, and in vitro release studies. The active ingredient content of formulation F5 was the highest at 93.33. Formulations F4 and F5 were selected for kinetic studies because they had all physical characteristics under reasonable limits, the active ingredient level was the greatest, and the active ingredient release was the fastest in eight hours. The transdermal organogel formulation of lornoxicam was found to be effective for topical distribution of the drug and when administered topically, it has strong anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic action.

Cell-mediated drug delivery systems have gained significant attention in medical research due to their potential for enhanced therapeutic specificity and efficacy in various diseases. Among immune cells, neutrophils (NEs) have emerged as a promising candidate for drug delivery due to their prevalence and rapid response in inflammatory sites. However, the short lifespan and challenges associated with the in vitro cultivation of NEs have hindered their direct use for drug administration. This review aims to highlight the importance of NEs as effective drug-delivery vehicles and elucidate the underlying mechanisms contributing to their pharmacological efficacy. By analyzing recent studies and advancements in the field, we will discuss the strategies employed to harness NEs as drug carriers, including coating nanostructures with NE cell membranes. Additionally, we will explore the unique properties of NEs that enable targeted drug delivery, such as their ability to navigate through complex biological environments and actively migrate toward inflamed tissues. Furthermore, we will delve into the mechanisms of NE-mediated drug release and the potential applications of NE-based drug delivery systems in various therapeutic areas. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into the use of NEs as drug delivery mechanisms and offers perspectives on the future directions of this exciting field.

The manufacture and study of innovative materials that enable the availability of relevant technologies are vital in light of the energy demands of various human activities and the need for a substantial shift in the energy matrix. A strategy based on the creation of enhanced applications for batteries has been devised to reduce the conversion, storage, and feeding of renewable energy like fuel cells and electrochemical capacitors. Conductive polymers (CP) can be utilised instead of traditional inorganic chemicals. Electrochemical energy storage devices with similar capabilities can be built using approaches based on the production of composite materials and nanostructures. CP's nanostructuring is notable for its concentration on synergistic coupling with other materials, which sets it apart from other nanostructures that have been developed in the preceding two decades. This is due to the fact that, when paired with other materials, their distinctive morphology and adaptability significantly enhance performance in areas like the suppression of ionic diffusion trajectories, electronic transport and the improvement of ion penetrability and intercalation spaces. The present study forecasts the wide-ranging modern applications of diverse nanostructured dielectric materials along with its future prospectives. The potential contributions of nanostructured carbon nanotubes to the development of innovative materials for energy storage devices are also critically discussed in this context, which delivers a summary of the present state of information on this emerging topic.

The global RC interconnects have become the controlling parameter for a circuit’s performance. But with the decrease in technology, an increase in resistance has become prominent. This increase further directly affects the performance of the system by increasing the performance parameters of the circuit like delay and power consumption. To resolve this issue and to be compatible with Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the interconnect circuits are required to be high speed with less heat generation In this paper, a new RC and RLC interconnect circuit design was proposed for 45nm technology to enhance the performance parameters. Furthermore, the RC interconnect design was simulated for lumped and distributed networks. The parasitic component values (resistance, inductance, and capacitance) are evaluated using PTM technology. The proposed interconnect circuit's resistance value decreased by a factor of 4, but the capacitance remains the same. Furthermore, power consumption and delay values were attained. An overall comparison was done between RC and RLC networks. 63.3% power improvement and 24.87% delay improvement were observed in the RLC network over RC distributed network.

The bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is known to cause gastroduodenal disorders associated with the stomach lining that grows in the gastrointestinal tract, and can cause gastritis, peptic ulcer, gastric lymphoma, and stomach cancer. Nearly 50% of people worldwide suffer from H. pylori infection. This infection is more prominent in poor nations and undeveloped countries, and is caused by multiple factors, such as consumption of unhygienic food, crowded living style, etc. In the eradication treatment of gastric H. pylori infection, conventional dosage forms have various adverse effects on patients. In this study, we have explored current developments in the utilization of nanotechnological carriers for the successful management of H. pylori infection. In order to combat rising amoxicillin resistance, this review has focused on therapeutic strategies that use cyclodextrins, niosomes, liposomes, microspheres, nanoparticles, solid lipid nanoparticles, and nanostructure nanoparticles to improve therapy against H. pylori. The entrapment of amoxicillin in various nanotechnological carriers enhances its effectiveness and reduces adverse effects. These carriers lead to targeted drug release and improve drug penetration to the gastroduodenal disease site that locally controls and adjusts the drug release. For the effective treatment of H. pylori infection, nanotechnological carriers have provided a new avenue for the development of innovative, high-impact, and low-dose systems. The main objective of this review was to outline the present limitations of H. pylori therapy and new potential alternatives, as well as to report how nanotechnological carriers may be used to overcome treatment shortcomings.

Interfacial charge transfer is a fundamental issue in both the science and technology of the batteries. In this work, the activation energy for the interfacial charge transfer, Ea, though PY thin film was estimated by measurement measurements of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) for both monovalent and multivalent hydration cations: Li+, Na+, K+, Ca+2 and Mg+2 in aqueous electrolytes. Rechargeable batteries have become quintessential energy conversion devices that are widely used in portable electronic devices and hybrid electric vehicles. PB and its analogues have open channels that allow rapid insertion/extraction of different cations ,and that lead to a long cycle of its in such as batteries (Na+, Li+ and K+) preparation of Prussian yellow Nanofilm on ITO glass by a simple chemical facial method and study of its charge/discharge processes of intercalation compounds in rechargeable features The electrochemical measurements of potentiostat/galvanostat cyclic voltammograms and EIS were carried out in three-electrode cells, with Ag/AgCl as a reference electrode. Pt. and ITO|PY as working and counter electrodes respectively. The electrolytes were solutions of 0.1M+z cation in water where M+z was one of the following cations: Li+, Na+, K+, Ca+2 or Mg+2. The effect of hydration on the activation energy for the PY thin film was studied by the EIS at different temperatures. The ions K+ have an activation energy interfacial, which is lower than that of Na+ and Li+. So the coulombic repulsion at the interface is largely suppressed by the screening effect of ions hydration, explaining the small values of Ea with aqueous electrolyte. Furthermore, the hydration helped the Ca+2 and Mg+2 intercalation in PBA but with large values of Ea that were due to coulombic repulsion at the interface. Prussian blue can be considered among the most promising cathode materials for energy storage batteries because of their rigid open framework with large interstitial sites that can pertain to mono and bivalent cation mobility and accommodate volume variation during ions insertion/ extraction

Nanomaterials are very useful in energy harvesting and energy storage devices. Morphological features play a vital role in energy storage devices. Supercapacitors and batteries are examples of energy storage devices. The working of a supercapacitor is decided by the nature of the microstructure and other features of the electrode material. Vanadium Pentaoxide (V25) is one of the promising materials due to its attractive features, such as band gap, multiple oxidation state, and large conductivity transition from semiconducting to conducting domain. This study aimed to perform the tuning of structural, optical and morphological properties of V2O5 nanomaterials using the hydrothermal method. A low-cost hydrothermal method was used in this work. Hydrothermal synthesis was carried out at different concentrations of Ammonium Metavanadate (NH4VO3), varying from 0.06 M, 0.08 M, and 0.1 M in the aqueous medium. Moreover, the pH of the solution was maintained at 4 using drop-wise addition of H2SO4. Hydrothermal synthesis was carried out at 160° for 24 hours. The synthesized precipitate was annealed at 700° for 7 hours in ambient air. Structural, optical, morphological, and elemental probing was carried out. XRD revealed the formation of monoclinic crystalline phase formation of V2O5. Crystallite size increased with an increase in the concentration of vanadium precursor. The band gap obtained using UV-Vis spectroscopy decreased upon an increase in concentration. SEM micrographs displayed nanosheet and nanorod-like distorted morphology. The presence of vanadium and oxygen was noticed in the EDS study. Nanoparticles with attractive features are very useful as an electrode material for supercapacitors. Upon changing concentration, we can change the band gap of the material, adding an extra edge in the use of these materials.

Vincristine sulfate is commonly used to treat different types of cancers. However, its effectiveness is hindered by undesirable side effects, which significantly limit its applications in medicine. This study aims to prepare vincristine nanoparticles, in order to develop a promising approach for cancer therapy. Vincristine nanoparticles were prepared by utilizing polycaprolactone as a carrier through the double emulsion method. The morphological characteristics and particle size of the vincristine nanoparticles were examined. The surface charge and average dynamic size, encapsulation efficiency in addition to release profile study were also evaluated. Dynamic Light Scattering confirmed the small size of nanoparticles (~200 nm). SEM showed spherical-shaped nanoparticles with smooth surfaces, and the polydispersity index values of the prepared nanoparticles were below 0.5 in all preparations. The zeta potential of the nanoparticles was found to be negative, which can be attributed to the presence of carboxylic groups in the PCL polymer, The encapsulation efficiency of Vincristine-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) varied from 36% to 57% for all the prepared NPs with varying amounts of PCL. The release profile demonstrated a prolonged release of Vincristine from the nanoparticles compared to the Vincristine solution. The double emulsion solvent evaporation method was used successfully to prepare vincristine- loaded PCL nanoparticles, which suggests that nanoscale carriers hold promise as effective vehicles for delivering chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer.
