Abstract
Heavy metal contamination in water is a serious environmental issue due to the toxicity of metals like lead. This study developed zeolite and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) incorporated polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers via needleless electrospinning and examined their potential for lead ion adsorption from aqueous solutions. The adsorption process was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) modeling approaches. The adsorbent displayed efficient lead removal of 84.75% under optimum conditions (adsorbent dose (2.21 g), adsorption time (207 min), temperature (48 °C), and initial concentration (62 ppm)). Kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption followed pseudo-first-order kinetics governed by interparticle diffusion. Isotherm analysis indicated Langmuir monolayer adsorption with improved 5.90 mg g-1 capacity compared to pristine PAN nanofibers. Thermodynamic parameters suggested the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic. This work demonstrates the promise of electrospun zeolite/MWCNT nanofibers as adsorbents for removing lead from wastewater.

Chemotherapeutic Activity of Imidazolium-Supported Pd(II) o-Vanillylidene Diaminocyclohexane Complexes Immobilized in Nanolipid as Inhibitors for HER2/neu and FGFR2/FGF2 Axis Overexpression in Breast Cancer Cells.

Abstract
Two bis-(imidazolium-vanillylidene)-(R,R)-diaminocyclohexane ligands (H2(VAN)2dach, H2L1,2) and their Pd(II) complexes (PdL1 and PdL2) were successfully synthesized and structurally characterized using microanalytical and spectral methods. Subsequently, to target the development of new effective and safe anti-breast cancer chemotherapeutic agents, these complexes were encapsulated by lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to formulate (PdL1LNP and PdL2LNP), which are physicochemically and morphologically characterized. PdL1LNP and PdL2LNP significantly cause DNA fragmentation in MCF-7 cells, while trastuzumab has a 10% damaging activity. Additionally, the encapsulated Pd1,2LNPs complexes activated the apoptotic mechanisms through the upregulated P53 with p < 0.001 and p < 0.05, respectively. The apoptotic activity may be triggered through the activity mechanism of the Pd1,2LNPs in the inhibitory actions against the FGFR2/FGF2 axis on the gene level with p < 0.001 and the Her2/neu with p < 0.05 and p < 0.01. All these aspects have triggered the activity of the PdL1LNP and PdL2LNP to downregulate TGFβ1 by p < 0.01 for both complexes. In conclusion, LNP-encapsulated Pd(II) complexes can be employed as anti-cancer drugs with additional benefits in regulating the signal mechanisms of the apoptotic mechanisms among breast cancer cells with chemotherapeutic-safe actions.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effect of ionic liquids and their structure on the mechanical (tensile bond strength (TBS) and Shore A hardness), mass change, and antifungal properties of soft denture lining material. Butyl pyridinium chloride (BPCL) and octyl pyridinium chloride (OPCL) were synthesized, characterized, and mixed in concentrations ranging from 0.65-10% w/w with a soft denture liner (Molloplast-B) and were divided into seven groups (C, BPCL1-3, and OPCL1-3). The TBS of bar-shaped specimens was calculated on a Universal Testing Machine. For Shore A hardness, disc-shaped specimens were analyzed using a durometer. The mass change (%) of specimens was calculated by the weight loss method. The antifungal potential of ionic liquids and test specimens was measured using agar well and disc diffusion methods (p ≤ 0.05). The alamarBlue assay was performed to assess the biocompatibility of the samples. The mean TBS values of Molloplast-B samples were significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) for all groups except for OPCL1. Compared with the control, the mean shore A hardness values were significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) for samples in groups BPCL 2 and 3. After 6 weeks, the OPCL samples showed a significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) mass change as compared to the control. Agar well diffusion methods demonstrated a maximum zone of inhibition for 2.5% OPCL (20.5 ± 0.05 mm) after 24 h. Disc diffusion methods showed no zones of inhibition. The biocompatibility of the ionic liquid-modified sample was comparable to that of the control. The addition of ionic liquids in Molloplast-B improved the liner's surface texture, increased its hardness, and decreased its % mass change and tensile strength. Ionic liquids exhibited potent antifungal activity.

Abstract
Timely detection of harmful, poisonous and air pollutant gases is of vital importance to the protection of human beings from exposure to rigorous gases. The development of gas-sensing devices based on sphere-like porous SnO2/ZIF-8 nanocomposites is required to overcome this challenge. Nanostructures with high surface area, more porosity and hollow interior provide plenty of active cites for high responses in metal oxide gas sensors. The engineered gas sensors have excellent sensing sensitivity (164), rapid response and recovery times (60, 45 s), and favorable selectivity for NO2 gases under 300 °C. Consequently, NO2 gas sensors based on core-shell SnO2/ZIF-8 nanospheres are regarded viable capacity industrial applicants.

Abstract
The rapid increases in environmental hazardous gases have laid dangerous effects on human health. The detection of such pollutants gases is mandatory using various optimal techniques. In this paper, porous multifaceted Co3O4/ZnO nanostructures are synthesized by pyrolyzing sacrificial template of core-shell double zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) for gas sensing applications. The fabricated exhibit superior gas sensor response, high selectivity, fast response/recovery times, and remarkable stability and sensitivity to H2S gas. In particular, the multifaceted Co3O4/ZnO nanostructures show a maximum response of 147 at 100 ppm of H2S under optimum conditions. The remarkable gas sensing performances are mainly ascribed to high porosity, wide surface area multifaceted nanostructures, presence of heterojunctions and catalytic activity of ZnO and Co3O4, which are beneficial for H2S gas sensors industry.
