Abstract
This research describes the fabrication of the porous trimethylamine (TMA)-grafted anion exchange membrane (AEM) over a phase inversion process. The synthesis of the generated AEM was verified using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The fabricated porous AEM showed 240% water uptake (WR), 1.45 mg/g ion exchange capacity (IEC), and a 9.0% linear expansion ratio (LER) at 25 °C. It exhibited a porous structure and higher thermal stability. It was utilized to remove eosin B (EB) from wastewater via the process of adsorption. The adsorption capacity of EB increased with time and the starting concentration of EB while decreasing with temperature and the AEM dosage. Adsorption isotherm investigation results showed that EB adsorption onto the porous AEM followed the Langmuir isotherm because the value of correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.992) was close to unity. Because the correlation coefficient was close to one, it was determined through adsorption kinetic experiments that the adsorption of EB on the produced porous AEM was suitable for a pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic study about process of EB adsorption on the porous AEM revealed that there was an exothermic (ΔH° = -16.60 kJ/mol) and spontaneous process.

Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant effect of ascorbic acid on omeprazole (O.P.)-induced acute kidney infection (AKI). Design of experiment (DoE) was employed to fabricate formulations (P1-P8) by the extrusion spheronization technique, and they were evaluated using various analytical techniques. P1-P8 formulations have % drug loading ranging from 56.34 ± 1.10 to 98.67 ± 1.05%, encapsulation efficiency from 70.98 ± 0.96 to 98.67 ± 1.05%, percentage drug release varying from 36.56 ± 1.34 to 93.45 ± 1.45%, Hausner's ratio ranging from 1.026 ± 0.05 to 1.065 ± 0.02%, and Carr's index varying from 2.3 ± 0.07 to 6.1 ± 0.06 g/mL. The optimized formulation (P6) was dual-coated with Eudragit L-100 (5% w/v) and ascorbic acid (2% w/v). A smooth uniform morphology was found after coating, and particle size nonsignificantly changed from 85.31 ± 77.43 to 101.99 ± 65.56 μm. IR spectra showed omeprazole characteristic peaks confirming drug loading, and peaks at 1747.40 and 1611.51 cm-1 confirmed ascorbic acid and Eudragit L-100 coating. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the crystalline nature, and thermal degradation studies until 500 °C demonstrated increased stability after coating. Cytotoxicity analysis with 97% cell viability revealed the nontoxic behavior of pellets. In vitro dissolution studies of coated pellets showed <20% drug release at pH 1.2 and 99.54% at pH 6.8. Animal studies showed that pure omeprazole showed a nonsignificant decrease in weight, urine output, and fecal output compared to rodents on ascorbic acid pellets. Increased uric acid and creatinine levels in the group on pure omeprazole indicated AKI. Histopathological studies of renal cells also supported these results. The integration of experimental pellet formulation with molecular docking simulations has unveiled the potential of ascorbic acid and omeprazole as highly promising therapeutic agents for addressing oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
Difficulties in identification of drug residues in food products arise due to their trace amounts in complex matrices. An eco-friendly and low-cost agarose-chitosan-magnetic graphene oxide based adsorbent was synthesized and employed for determination of aminoglycosides from chicken egg samples through HPLC. Synthesized adsorbent was characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, and VSM. Among two investigated aminoglycosides, streptomycin was derivatized with ninhydrin while gentamicin was detected without its derivatization. Impact of experimental variables such as adsorbent dose, extraction time, temperature, pH, and analyte concentration on extraction efficiency was investigated. Statistical analysis for determination of streptomycin and gentamicin demonstrated excellent linearity in the range of 0.2-1.6 µg kg-1, LOQ of 0.3 and 0.6 µg kg-1 for streptomycin and gentamicin, respectively and LOD of 0.1 and 0.19 µg kg-1 for streptomycin and gentamicin, respectively with RSD of 2.5% and recoveries up to 94%. Regeneration studies revealed that composite film can be used four times without considerable reduction in its extraction efficiency.

Abstract
Abstract Hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) is the foremost reason of progressive hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis, with an elevated risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. Medicinal plants have been used for human health benefits for several years, but their therapeutic potential needs to be explored. The main objective of this study was to figure out the in vitro antiviral and anticancer characteristics of total crude protein of Iberis gibraltarica against HCV and HCC. Total crude protein of Iberis gibraltarica was isolated and quantified. The level of cytotoxicity was measured against the HepG2 cell line and it shows no significant cytotoxicity at the concentration of 504µg/ml. The anti-HCV effect was determined by absolute quantification via real time RT-PCR method and viral titer was reduced up to 66% in a dose dependent manner against the total protein of Iberis gibraltarica. The anticancer potential of Iberis gibraltarica was also examined through mRNA expression studies of AFP and GPC3 genes against the total protein of Iberis gibraltarica-treated HepG2 cells. The results show up to 90% of the down-regulation expression of AFP and GPC3. The obtained results indicate the therapeutic potential of total protein of Iberis gibraltarica against HCV and hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro.

Abstract
A magnetic nanocomposite of tungsten and vanadium was employed as a catalyst for the mitigation of water contaminants, including a carcinogenic dye (Congo red, CR), a widely used pesticide (glyphosate), and the bacterial strain Escherichia coli. Additionally, it was subjected to several characterization techniques. X-ray diffraction spectroscopy examination validated the synthesized nanoparticles' crystalline nature, and scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis were employed to examine the morphology and elemental composition of the catalyst. The use of thermogravimetric analysis enabled the elaboration of the thermal behavior of tungsten sulfide-vanadium decorated with Fe2O3 nanoparticles. The experiments were conducted under visible light conditions. The highest levels of photodegradation of 96.24 ± 2.5% for CR and 98 ± 1.8% for glyphosate were observed following a 180 min exposure to visible light at pH values of 6 and 8, respectively. The quantum yields for CR and Gly were calculated to be 9.2 × 10-3 and 4.9 × 10-4 molecules photon-1, respectively. The findings from the scavenger analysis suggest the involvement of hydroxyl radicals in the degradation mechanism. The study evaluated the inhibition of E. coli growth when exposed to a concentration of 0.1 g/10 mL of the photocatalyst, utilizing a 1 mL sample of the bacterial strain. The successful elimination of CR and glyphosate from water-based solutions, along with the subsequent antibacterial experiments, has substantiated the efficacy of the photocatalyst in the field of environmental remediation.

Abstract
The present study aimed to fabricate a novel polymeric spongy composite to enhance skin regeneration composed of Nystatin (antifungal agent) and Silver Nanoparticles (AgNps). Different formulations (F1-F8) were developed & characterized by using various analytical techniques. AgNps synthesized by chemical reduction method showed spherical morphology 2 µm in size showed by SEM and XRD. A fine porous structure of gel embedded with AgNps having an amorphous structure with 10 % crystallinity due to AgNps was found. IR spectra revealed no chemical interaction between polymers and Nystatin. An increase in thermal stability of formulation was observed till 700 ℃ analyzed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Cytotoxic analysis on L929 mouse skin fibroblast cells showed a decrease in cell viability as Ag concentration increased (inactivating Fibroblast and keratinocytes) while 10 mg composition was found safest concentration (94%). Optimized formulation (F2) presented in-vitro drug release up to 90.59% ± 0.76 at pH 7.4, swelling studies (87.5% ± 0.57), water retention (26.60 ± 0.34), pH (5.31 ± 0.03). In the animal burn model, the group that received CHG/Ag/Nystatin healed the wound significantly (p < 0.05). These results suggested that optimized carrier can be used for other anti-fungal drugs facilitating the early healing of the wound.

Abstract
To overcome the extensive heat generation inside the microprocessors nanofluids have gained importance because of their better thermophysical properties as compared with air and water. This work proposes a two-pronged strategy for thermal performance enhancement of mini channel heat sinks. Firstly, a novel dual flow slotted fin mini channel heat sink flow configuration is proposed. Secondly, a detailed numerical investigation is performed to assess heat transfer enhancement property of Al2O3-H2O and TiO2-H2O nanofluids. Considering the first step, fin spacing, number of slots, slot thickness and slot angle are investigated in detail yielding to the selection of best structural parameters. Two slots per fin of 0.5 mm thickness at an angle of 45° is selected because it provides better thermal performance as compared with water. Further, numerical assessment of nano fluid behavior was carried out at volumetric concentrations of 0.005% and 0.01%. For the case of novel dual flow slotted fin mini channel heat sink, maximum numerical and experimental advantages in all targeted system properties is observed for Al2O3-H2O nano fluid at volumetric concentration of 0.01%, as compared with water. Al2O3-H2O nano fluid provides better thermal performance both numerically and experimentally as compared with TiO2-H2O nanofluids. Increment in the pressure drop is noted with increasing volumetric concentrations.

Abstract
Diffusion dialysis (DD) process utilizing anion exchange membranes (AEMs) is an environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient technology. From acidic wastewater, DD is needed for acid recovery. This research reports the development of a series of dense tropinium-functionalized AEMs via solution casting method. Fourier Infrared transform (FTIR) spectroscopy verified the successful preparation of AEMs. The developed AEMs exhibited a dense morphology, featuring 0.98-2.42 mmol/g of ion exchange capacity (IEC), 30-81% of water uptake (WR) and 7-32% of linear swelling ratio (LSR). They displayed exceptional mechanical, thermal and chemical stability and were employed for acid waste treatment from HCl/FeCl2 mixtures via DD process. AEMs possessed 20 to 59 (10-3 m/h) and 166 to 362 of acid diffusion dialysis coefficient (UH+) and separation factor (S) respectively at 25 °C. Compared to DF-120 commercial membrane (UH+ = 0.004 m/h, S = 24.3), their DD efficiency was improved under identical experimental conditions.

Abstract
Commercially available QPPO/PVA based anion exchange membrane (AEM) BIII was to inquire the percentage discharge of anionic dye Eosin-B (EB) at terrain temperature from wastewater. The impact of EB initial concentration, membrane dosage, ionic strength, contact time and temperature on EB percentage removal was contemplated. The EB percentage removal was increased from 22 to 99.56% and 38.15-99.56% with contact time and membrane dosage respectively while decreased from 99.56 to 29%, 99.56 to 54.61% and 99.56 to 92.22% with enhancing initial concentration of EB, ionic strength and temperature respectively. Nonlinear isotherm models were utilized to demonstrate EB adsorption onto AEM BIII. Attained results exhibited that nonliner Freundlich isotherm model best fitted to EB adsorption onto AEM BIII. For EB adsorption onto AEM BIII, adsorption kinetics were inquired in detail by using several kinetic models but EB adsorption nicely fitted to pseudo-second-order kinetics. Similarly thermodynamic analysis was performed and results pointed to an exothermic adsorption of EB onto AEM BIII. The membrane could be reused for four concecutive cycles with loosing its efficiency.

Abstract
Novel molecularly imprinted organically modified silica was prepared by reacting acrylamide and 3-(tri-methoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate followed by condensation and hydrolysis with tetraethyl ortho-silicate for the determination of pyriproxyfen. The sorbent proved to be highly selective for the template molecule, pyriproxyfen. The characterization of sorbent was carried out using SEM, BET and TGA. The prominent peaks in FTIR at 3700 cm-1 and 1071 cm-1 confirmed the stretching of amide group's N-H and Si-O-Si bond linkage of MIOrmosil. The pseudo-first-order model (R2 0.99) described the adsorption kinetics of the MIOrmosil, whereas among adsorption isotherms, Freundlich model showed the best fit (R2 0.99). The molecularly imprinted silica was applied for the determination of target analytes from strawberries sample using dispersive solid-phase micro extraction (DSPME) followed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The LOD (4.93 x10-5 μg mL-1) and LOQ (1.49 x10-4 μg m-1) values were calculated by signal to noise ratio through HPLC. Results show that the maximum binding capacity and percentage recovery values of MIOrmosil were 13 mg g-1 (n = 5) and 97.3% respectively.

Abstract
Conventional chemotherapy poses toxic effects to healthy tissues. A therapeutic system is thus required that can administer, distribute, metabolize, and excrete medicine from human body without damaging healthy cells. This is possible by designing a therapeutic system that can release drug at specific target tissue. In current work, novel chitosan (CS) based polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) containing N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAM) and 2-(di-isopropyl amino) ethyl methacrylate (DPA) are designed. The presence of available functional groups i.e. OH- (3262 cm-1), -NH2 (1542 cm-1), and CO (1642 cm-1), was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infra-red Spectrophotometry (FTIR). The surface morphology and average particle size (175 nm) was determined through Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). X-Ray Diffractometry (XRD) studies confirmed the amorphous nature and excellent thermal stability of PNPs up to 100 °C with only 2.69% mass loss was confirmed by Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The pH sensitivity of such PNPs for release of encapsulated doxorubicin at malignant site was investigated. The encapsulation efficiency of PNPs was 89% (4.45 mg/5 mg) for doxorubicin (a chemotherapeutic) measured by using UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The drug release profile of loaded PNPs was 88% (3.92 mg/4.45 mg) at pH 5.3, in 96 h. PNPs with varying DPA concentration can effectively be used to deliver chemotherapeutic agents with high efficacy.

Abstract
The excessive use of antibiotics and their ultimate routes to the environment have prompted the drug resistance, which is becoming a major ecological issue. In this work, we have evaluated the performance of quaternary ammonium poly (2, 6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) and polyvinyl alcohol (QPPO/PVA) based anion exchange membrane against cefixime (a third generation cephalosporin antibiotic) present in hospital effluents. The membrane's surface morphology was studied through scanning electron microscopy. The optimization of experimental parameters through Response Surface Methodology helped to evaluate the inter parameter dependence and predict maximum uptake capacity (qe). The speculated value of qe (6.72 mg g-1) obtained through central composite design was close to the experimental value of 7.01 mg g-1 with percent relative error of 4.31%. Further, the evaluation of experimental data using isotherms (Langmuir and Freundlich) and kinetic models (pseudo-first-order and second-order) proposed that the interactions between cefixime and the membrane were physisorptive in nature. The intra-day and inter-day assays exhibited lower %RSD values of 0.4% (n = 5) and 0.3% (n = 5). Furthermore, a percentage recovery of 98.2% (n = 9) and limit of detection 1 × 10-5 μg mL-1 was observed. The chromatogram of the treated water samples presented only negligible amount of cefixime indicating a great potential of QPPO/PVA membrane for the removal of cefixime from real water samples. The membrane could be regenerated for three consecutive cycles without any prominent loss in efficiency.

Abstract
The design of conductive, improved durable and selective anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for desalination application via electrodialysis (ED) process is critical for a more sustainable future. This work reports the design of a series of homogeneous trimethylphosphine (TMP)-functionalized anion exchange membranes (AEMs) for desalination application via electrodialysis (ED) process. Physico-chemical characterization and electrochemical performance of the trimethylphosphine-functionalized anion exchange membranes was conducted and the activity found to be tuned by varying the quantity of trimethylphosphine into the membrane architecture. For anion exchange membranes M1 to M4, the ion exchange capacity (IEC) was increased from 1.35 to 2.16 mmol/g, water uptake (WR) from 4.30 to 17.72%, linear expansion ratio (LER) from 3.70 to 12.50% with enhancing the quantity of trimethylphosphine into the polymer architecture. The ionic resistance decreased from 15.14 to 2.61 Ω cm2 with increasing quantities of trimethylphosphine whereas transport number increased from 0.98 to 0.99. The performance of synthesized trimethylphosphine-functionalized anion exchange membranes in desalination of NaCl was evaluated via electrodialysis process (flux of 3.42 mol/m2. h and current efficiency of 64.30%). Results showed that the prepared trimethylphosphine-functionalized membrane (optimum M4) possess improved desalination performance as compared to commercial membrane Neosepta AMX under identical experimental conditions.

Abstract
Fipronil, a phenyl pyrazole insecticide, is extensively used in agriculture to control insect infestation. It has the potential to assimilate into the food chain, leading to serious health concerns. We report molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP)-based dispersive solid-phase microextraction for the targeted determination of fipronil in milk samples. Designing such a sorbent is of paramount importance for measuring the accurate amount of fipronil for monitoring its permissible limit. Response surface methodology based on a central composite design following a face-centered approach was used to optimize experimental conditions. The maximum binding capacity of 47 mg g-1 was achieved at optimal parameters of time (18 min), temperature (42 °C), pH (7), and analyte concentration (120 mg L-1). Under these conditions, a high percentage recovery of 94.6 ± 1.90% (n = 9) and a low limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) (5.64 × 10-6 and 1.71 × 10-5 μg mL-1, respectively) were obtained. The MIP was well characterized through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) as well as Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) methods. Adsorption kinetics of the MIP followed the pseudo-first-order model (R 2 0.99 and χ2 0.96), suggesting the MIP-analyte interaction to be a physiosorptive process, while adsorption isotherms followed the Freundlich model (R 2 0.99). The real sample analysis through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) confirmed the selective determination of fipronil from milk samples.

Abstract
Abstract
Alginate extracted from the marine brown algae is a massively utilized biopolymer in multiple fields such as microreactors for the fabrication of metal nanoparticles along with other polymeric and nonpolymeric materials to enhance their mechanical strength. These sodium alginate (Na-Alg)-based fabricated nanocomposites find applications in the field of catalysis and biological treatment as antibacterial/antifungal agent due to the synergistic properties of Na-Alg and fabricated metal nanoparticles (NPs). Na-Alg offers mechanical strength and nanoparticles provide high reactivity due to their small size. Sodium alginate exhibits hydroxyl and carboxylate functional groups that can easily interact with the metal nanoparticles to form composite particles. The research on the preparation of Na-Alg–based nanoparticles and nanoaggregates have been started recently but developed quickly due to their extensive applications in different fields. This review article encircles different methods of preparation of sodium alginate–based metal nanocomposites; analytical techniques reported to monitor the formation of these nanocomposites and used to characterize these nanocomposites as well as applications of these nanocomposites as catalyst, antibacterial, and antifungal agent.

Abstract
Aspergillus parasiticus (A. parasiticus) is known for producing aflatoxins and is a major threat to the food industry. Green synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) is a cost-effective and environment-friendly approach. A variety of NPs have been explored as antifungal agents; however, their antifungal characteristics need to be further enhanced to compete with traditional fungicides. The present work describes the green synthesis of ZnO and CuO NPs by precipitation method using aqueous leaf extract of Manilkara zapota and their surface modification through polyaniline (PANI). Still, there is no published study on the application of PANI-coated particles as antifungal agents against A. parasiticus and hence was the focus of this work. The polymer-coated NPs were synthesized, characterized, and investigated for their antifungal properties against A. parasiticus. Textural and structural characterization of PANI-coated and non-coated ZnO and CuO NPs were confirmed through FT-IR, SEM, and XRD techniques. The PANI-coated NPs presented higher fungal growth inhibition (%) as compared to the non-coated ones. The maximum inhibition of 77 ± 2% (n = 3) was shown by PANI/ZnO NPs at a concentration of 12 mmol L-1 and 72 h of incubation. The non-coated NPs presented a lower inhibition rate with respect to their coated NPs, thus justifying the role of polymeric coating in improving antifungal efficiency.

Abstract
Molecularly imprinted biodegradable polymers are receiving considerable attention in drug delivery due to their ability of targeted recognition and biocompatibility. This study reports the synthesis of a novel fluorescence-active magnetic molecularly imprinted drug carrier (MIDC) using a glucose-based biodegradable cross-linking agent for the delivery of anticancer drug docetaxel. The magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (MMIP) was characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The MMIP presented a magnetization value of 0.0059 emu g-1 and binding capacity of 72 mg g-1 with docetaxel. In vitro and in vivo studies were performed to observe the effectiveness of the MIDC for drug delivery. The cell viability assay suggested that the MMIP did not present toxic effects on healthy cells. The magnetic property of the MMIP allowed quick identification of the drug carrier at the target site by applying the external magnetic field to mice (after 20 min of loading) and taking X-ray images. The novel MMIP-based drug carrier could thus deliver the drug at the target site without affecting the healthy cells.

Abstract
In this research, the development of a novel brominated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (BPPO)-based homogeneous anion exchange membrane (AEM) via the solution casting method was reported. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to confirm the successful development of the BPPO-based AEM. The prepared AEM showed excellent thermal stability. It exhibited an ion exchange capacity of 2.66 mg/g, a water uptake (W R) of 68%, and a linear swelling ratio of 31%. Methyl orange (MO), an anionic dye, was used as a model pollutant to evaluate the ion exchange ability of the membrane. The adsorption capacity of MO increased with the increase in contact time, membrane dosage (adsorbent), temperature, and pH while declined with the increase in initial concentration of MO in an aqueous solution and molarity of NaCl. Adsorption isotherm study showed that adsorption of MO was fitted well to the Freundlich adsorption isotherm because the value of the correlation coefficient (R 2 = 0.974) was close to unity. Adsorption kinetics study showed that adsorption of MO fitted well to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Adsorption thermodynamics evaluation represented that adsorption of MO was an endothermic (ΔH° = 18.72 kJ/mol) and spontaneous process. The AEM presented a maximum adsorption capacity of 18 mg/g. Moreover, the regeneration of the prepared membrane confirmed its ability to be utilized for three consecutive cycles. The developed BPPO-based AEM was an outstanding candidate for adsorption of MO from an aqueous solution.

Abstract
Plant-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles exhibits great potential to minimize the generation of chemical waste through the utilization of non-toxic precursors. In this research work, we report the synthesis of magnesium oxide (MgO) and cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanoparticles through a green approach using Manilkara zapota leaves extract, their surface modification by polyaniline (PANI), and antifungal properties against Aspergillus niger. Textural and structural characterization of modified and unmodified metal oxide nanoparticles were evaluated using FT-IR, SEM, and XRD. The optimal conditions for inhibition of Aspergillus niger were achieved by varying nanoparticles’ concentration and time exposure. Results demonstrate that PANI/MgO nanoparticles were superior in function relative to PANI/Co3O4 nanoparticles to control the growth rate of Aspergillus niger at optimal conditions (time exposure of 72 h and nanoparticles concentration of 24 mM). A percentage decrease of 73.2% and 65.1% in fungal growth was observed using PANI/MgO and PANI/Co3O4 nanoparticles, respectively, which was higher than the unmodified metal oxide nanoparticles (67.5% and 63.2%).

Abstract
Here, a novel bismuth-doped nickel-cobalt ferrite (Ni0.5Co0.5Bi0.1Fe1.9O4) was synthesized using a sol-gel auto-combustion approach. The impact of bismuth substitution on the nickel-cobalt ferrite structural characteristics was investigated relative to the nickel-cobalt ferrite without bismuth substitution (Ni0.5Co0.5Fe2O4) based on diverse technical options (e.g., scanning electron microscopy-equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer, X-ray diffraction, physisorption, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy). Bismuth doping increased the surface area without affecting pore size. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed a nano-ferrite cubic spinel structure of the catalyst. Photodegradation of Congo red (CR) was tested using these nickel-cobalt ferrite catalysts under visible light across varying reaction parameters (e.g., pH, catalyst loading, dye concentration, and reaction time). The photo-degradation efficiency for CR in aqueous medium was the highest (98%) at pH 3 with 0.2 g catalyst loading in 100 mL under visible irradiation to reinforce the role of nanostructures as a potent photocatalyst (QY = 2.79 × 10-7 molecule photon-1). The kinetic reaction rate of Bi-doped spinel ferrite (3.5 µmol g-1 h-1) was1.25 times higher than those undoped materials. This study experimentally proved that the bismuth-doped nickel-cobalt ferrite photocatalyst is an effective option for removing industrial dyes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sunlight exposure causes several types of health issues to humans, and in particular, it affects especially the skin. Among the most common harmful issues developed by UV exposure are erythema, pigmentation, and lesions in DNA, which may lead to cancer. These long-term effects can be minimized with the use of sunscreen. OBJECTIVE The use of commercial UV filters causes severe side effects such as skin allergy and whitening of the skin. Therefore, in this study the effectiveness of Ca2 SiO4 , a compound abundantly present in the soils of certain South Asian regions, has been the first time explored as UV filter. This compound leaves a low amount of white residue on the skin and is highly stable. METHOD The comparative study of a cosmetic formulation having 5% Ca2 SiO4 , and other formulations containing 5% TiO2 and 5% ZnO as inorganic UV filters, was performed to evaluate the physical and chemical stability. RESULT The zeta potential and chemical stability of formulations containing these different UV filters were investigated by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR-ATR, and X-ray diffraction. Results indicated Ca2 SiO4 as a promising innovative UV filter with an SPF value of 37.94. One of the reasons is its low interaction with organic filter, that is, PABA, as compared to commercial ZnO and TiO2 inorganic UV filters. Biological absorption in organs was studied by ICP-MS on model mice. CONCLUSION It also has a low photocatalytic activity; thus, formation of radicals is minimum. Moreover, Ca2 SiO4 showed a recognized ability to leave a low amount of white residue on the skin combined with great stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Faecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) has improved outcomes for the treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) compared to antibiotic therapy. FMT is classified as a medicinal product in the United Kingdom, similar to the USA and Canada, limiting supply via stool banks without appropriate licencing. In the largest UK cohort to date, we describe the clinical outcomes for 124 patients receiving FMT for recurrent or refractory CDI and present a framework to produce FMT as a licenced medicinal product. METHODS Anonymous unrelated healthy donors, screened via health assessment and microbiological testing donated stool. In aerobic conditions FMT aliquots were prepared for immediate use or frozen storage, following a production framework developed to comply with Good Manufacturing Practice. Outcome measures were clinical response to FMT defined as resolution of diarrhoea within seven days and clinical cure defined as response without diarrhoea recurrence at 90 days. FINDINGS Clinical response was 83·9% (95% CI 76·0%-90·0%) after one treatment. Clinical cure was 78·2% (95% CI 67·4%-89·0%) across the cohort. Refractory cases appeared to have a lower initial clinical response rate compared to recurrent cases, however at day 90 there were no differences observed between these groups. INTERPRETATION The methodology developed here enabled successful licencing of FMT by The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency as a medicinal product. This has widened the availability of FMT in the National Health Service via a stool bank and can be applied in other centres across the world to improve access to safe and quality assured treatments.

Abstract
The present work reports on the analysis of atmospheric aerosols in the Antarctic region, Deception Island, collected during austral summer 2016-2017 by field measurements carried from Gabriel de Castilla Spanish Research Station. A low-volume sampler was used to capture the aerosols depositing them onto the air filters. A chemical analysis of the samples using Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) and Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) provided the total carbon (TC), organic carbon (OC), elemental Carbon (EC) and elements such as Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P, S, Cu, Pb, Sr, Ti, Zn and Cr. The average mass concentration of particulate matter (PM10) originated by natural and anthropogenic activities was calculated as 10 ± 4 μg/m3, although values such as 28.2 μg/m3 were also obtained which is very high even when compared to other places in the coast of the Antarctic region. In addition, high enrichment factors have been found for elements such as Pb, Cr, Cu and Zn showing a remote anthropogenic contribution to particulate matter in this region. Correlations were found between Na, Mg, Ca, Al, Ti and S, where Na/Mg displayed the influence of marine environments, S correspond to volcanic activities, Ca to penguin colonies and influence of sea whereas Al/Ti indicated the crustal origin. Polar contour graphical maps were obtained from meteorological data using chemometrics methods, which allowed reproducing wind maps revealing the distribution of the aerosols and possible emission sources of different elements in the area. Given that this island has not been previously studied for atmospheric contamination, this work provides an interesting insight about the site-specific characteristics of particulate matter.

Abstract
The success of interferon-free regimens using new direct-acting antiviral (DAA) is a revolution and major breakthrough in the development of new therapeutic options against hepatitis C virus (HCV). Accumulating evidence suggest sustained virological response (SVR) with DAA in 95% of patients. To date, however, there are very few data related to efficacy of DAA in the Pakistani population. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of sofosbuvir-based regimen among Pakistani population. A total of 1,913 patients who attained SVR24 after being treated with sofosbuvir and ribavirin from August 2015 to March 2017 were enrolled in this study. We analyzed the demographic, clinical and virological data and screened all patients for HCV in March 2017 to evaluate the response rate. We found an overall response rate of 92.8%. In addition, we also observed lower response rates among older patients. It can be inferred that a large proportion of patients achieved SVR after treatment with sofosbuvir-based regimen.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad is extensively used to treat diabetes, obesity, fever, cancer, amenorrhea, jaundice, leukemia, rheumatism, and respiratory diseases. Chemical studies have indicated the presence of several cucurbitacins, flavones, and other polyphenols in this plant. These phytochemical constituents are responsible for the interesting antioxidant and other biological activities of C. colocynthis. OBJECTIVE In the present study, for the first time, near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy coupled with partial least square (PLS) regression analysis was used to quantify the polyphenolic phytochemicals of C. colocynthis. METHODOLOGY The fruit and aerial parts of the C. colocynthis were extracted individually in methanol followed by fractionation in n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water. Near infrared (NIR) spectra were obtained in absorption mode in the wavelength range 700-2500 nm. The PLS regression model was then built from the obtained spectral data to quantify the total polyphenol contents in the selected plant samples. RESULTS The PLS regression model obtained had a R2 value of 99% with a 0.98 correlationship value and a good prediction with a root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) value of 1.89% and correlation of 0.98. These results were further confirmed through UV-vis spectroscopy and it is found that the ethyl acetate fraction has the maximum value for polyphenol contents (101.7 mg/100 g; NIR, 100.4 mg/100 g; UV-vis). CONCLUSIONS The polyphenolic phytochemicals of the fruit and aerial parts of C. colocynthis have been quantified successfully by using multivariate analysis in a non-destructive, economical, precise, and highly sensitive method, which uses very simple sample preparation.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus is responsible for liver damage and various metabolic disorders. HCV infections promote oxidative stress and cause damage to macromolecules. The aim of our study was to design a preliminary study with establishment of HCV genotype 3a infectivity assay in order to determine DNA damage in Huh-7 cell line at 72 hours post inoculation. Quantitative expression levels of COX-2 and GSR (oxidants and antioxidants), DNAPKCs, ATM, ATR and PARP (DNA damage and repair genes), RB and P53 (tumor suppressor genes) and VEGF (angiogenesis marker) were observed via real time PCR. Our findings revealed 1.533 fold upregulated expression of COX-2. The expression level of GSR was increased by1.27 fold and VEGF expression decreased by 0.367 fold. Thus, preventing cells to enter cancerous phase.

Abstract
The current study was designed to determine the role of the host genes involved in the development of chronic hepatitis C-associated type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study was carried out in patients in four different stages of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, including treatment-naïve HCV patients, HCV-positive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), non-responders and responders. The mRNA expression level of host genes, such as glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and different adipokines including adiponectin, leptin and resistin, was quantified and compared to healthy controls. HCV infection was found to be associated with insulin resistance, a step towards type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The results also suggest the potential role of adipokines in chronic HCV (CHC)-associated T2DM. The upregulation of gluconeogenic genes, such as G6Pase and resistin, and a decreased mRNA expression level of adiponectin suggest the potential role of selected markers in the CHC-associated T2DM in Pakistani population. Based on these results, it is concluded that upregulation of TNF-α, G6Pase and resistin in chronic HCV patients leads to gluconeogenesis, eventually favoring T2DM. Collectively, these findings suggest that CHC patients are more prone to T2DM.

Abstract
In northern Pakistan, many farming communities rely on domestic yak (Bos grunniens) as a principle source of income. A 2006 participatory disease surveillance report from this region indicated that foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is the most prevalent annual disease of yak. Our objectives of this study were to determine exposure levels of yak to FMD virus; implement a vaccination program based on current, regional FMD virus serotypes and subtypes; and quantify immune responses following vaccination. Blood samples were used to determine pre-vaccination exposure of animals to FMD virus by antibody presence to non-structural proteins of FMD virus using a 3-ABC trapping indirect ELISA. Vaccine used consisted of FMD serotypes 'O' (PanAsia-2), 'A' (Iran-05), and 'Asia-1' (Shamir), but changed later during the study to match newly circulating viruses in the country ('O'-PanAsia-2; 'A'-Turk-06 and Asia-1-Sindh-08). Three hundred sixty-three blood samples were tested from selected villages to determine pre-vaccination FMD virus exposure in yak with an average of 37.7%. Immune responses from initial vaccination and booster dose 30 days later showed clear protective levels (as mean percent inhibition) of antibodies against structural proteins of serotypes 'O,' 'A,' and 'Asia-1.' These responses remained above threshold positive level even at day 210 following initial vaccination. Results of sero-surveillance and anecdotal information of repeated FMD outbreaks demonstrate the persistence of FMD virus of yak in northern Pakistan. Laboratory results and field observations clearly indicated that yak can be protected against FMD with a good quality vaccine with FMD serotype(s) matching current, regionally circulating FMD virus.

Abstract
The detection of adulteration of fuels and its use in criminal scenes like arson has a high interest in forensic investigations. In this work, a method based on gas chromatography (GC) and neural networks (NN) has been developed and applied to the identification and discrimination of brands of fuels such as gasoline and diesel without the necessity to determine the composition of the samples. The study included five main brands of fuels from Spain, collected from fifteen different local petrol stations. The methodology allowed the identification of the gasoline and diesel brands with a high accuracy close to 100%, without any false positives or false negatives. A success rate of three blind samples was obtained as 73.3%, 80%, and 100%, respectively. The results obtained demonstrate the potential of this methodology to help in resolving criminal situations.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is highly prevalent worldwide and most of HCV infections enter into chronic phase subsequently leading to insulin resistance (IR) and clinical complications. Although the clinics of chronic HCV infection is well described, there is need to better understand the molecular mechanisms of HCV-induced IR. Therefore this study was aimed to unveil the role of host genes involved in the development of HCV-induced IR. For this purpose the expression of selected genes in HCV-infected and non-infected Huh-7 cells at various time post infection (p.i.) was assayed by real-time PCR. HCV infection was found to trigger endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response as demonstrated by an increase in the expression of calreticulin (Cal) gene but no change in the expression of Gadd153 gene. The infection also enhanced the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS-3), responsible for the degradation of insulin receptor substrates (IRS). Moreover, it led to a decreased expression of key signaling molecules IRS-1 and IRS-2, unchanged expression of SOCS-7 and increased expression of downstream signaling molecule Akt. Altogether these findings indicate that the HCV infection induces ER stress and IR in Huh-7 cells in vitro.

Abstract
1. Domestic fowl and free-living birds were examined for the presence or absence of antibodies against hydropericardium syndrome (HPS) using an indirect haemagglutination assay. 2. Two-hundred and eighty serum samples of commercial (45 broilers, 20 adult layers and 15 Fayoumi fowl) and wild birds, including 65 peafowl, 45 pigeons, 10 crows, 30 house sparrows, 10 doves, 15 ducks, 10 parrots and 15 guinea fowl, were collected and examined. 3. The percentage of HPS-positive serum samples was 80% in house crows, 78% in pigeons, 7% in house sparrows and 6% in peafowl. 4. The sera obtained from parrots, doves, ducks and guinea fowl were all negative. 5. This study suggests that crows and pigeons could be carriers of the HPS agent.

Abstract
Identification and discrimination of bacterial strains of same species exhibiting resistance to antibiotics using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and neural networks (NN) algorithm is reported. The method has been applied to identify 40 bacterial strains causing hospital acquired infections (HAI), i.e. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella pullurum and Salmonella salamae. The strains analyzed included both isolated from clinical samples and constructed in laboratory that differ in mutations as a result of their resistance to one or more antibiotics. Small changes in the atomic composition of the bacterial strains, as a result of their mutations and genetic variations, were detected by the LIBS-NN methodology and led to their identification and classification. This is of utmost importance because solely identification of bacterial species is not sufficient for disease diagnosis and identification of the actual strain is also required. The proposed method was successfully able to discriminate strains of the same bacterial species. The optimized NN models provided reliable bacterial strain identification with an index of spectral correlation higher than 95% for the samples analyzed, showing the potential and effectiveness of the method to address the safety and social-cost HAI-related issue.

Abstract
Glutathione-S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) is a critical enzyme of the phase II detoxification pathway. One of the common functional polymorphisms of GSTP1 is A→G at nucleotide 313, which results in an amino acid substitution (Ile105Val) at the substrate binding site of GSTP1 and reduces catalytic activity of GSTP1. To investigate the GSTP1 Ile105Val genotype frequency in prostate cancer cases in the Kashmiri population, we designed a case-control study, in which 50 prostate cancer cases and 45 benign prostate hyperplasia cases were studied for GSTP1 Ile105Val polymorphism, compared to 80 controls taken from the general population, employing the PCR-RFLP technique. We found the frequency of the three different genotypes of GSTP1 Ile105Val in our ethnic Kashmir population, i.e., Ile/Ile, Ile/Val and Val/Val, to be 52.4, 33.3 and 14.3% among prostate cancer cases, 48.5, 37.5 and 14% among benign prostate hyperplasia cases and 73.8, 21.3 and 5% in the control population, respectively. There was a significant association between the GSTP1 Ile/Val genotype and the advanced age group among the cases. We conclude that GSTP1 Ile/Val polymorphism is involved in the risk of prostate cancer development in our population.
