    Abstract This study demonstrates the conversion of metallic titanium (Ti) to titanium oxide just by conducting electrical current through Ti thin film in vacuum and increasing the temperature by Joule heating. This led to the improvement of electrical and thermal properties of a microbolometer. A microbolometer with an integrated Ti thermistor and heater width of 2.7 µm and a length of 50 µm was fabricated for the current study. Constant-voltage stresses were applied to the thermistor wire to observe the effect of the Joule heating on its properties. Thermistor resistance ~14 times the initial resistance was observed owing to the heating. A negative large temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of -0.32%/K was also observed owing to the treatment, leading to an improved responsivity of ~4.5 times from devices with untreated Ti thermistors. However, this does not improve the noise equivalent power (NEP), due to the increased flicker noise. Microstructural analyses with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), transmission electron diffraction (TED) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) confirm the formation of a titanium oxide (TiO

    Abstract The gut microbiome and its metabolites are involved in developing and progressing liver disease. Various liver illnesses, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis C, and hepatocellular carcinoma, are made worse and have worse prognoses with aging. Dysbiosis, which occurs when the symbiosis between the microbiota and the host is disrupted, can significantly negatively impact health. Liver disease is linked to qualitative changes, such as an increase in hazardous bacteria and a decrease in good bacteria, as well as quantitative changes in the overall amount of bacteria (overgrowth). Intestinal gut microbiota and their metabolites may lead to chronic liver disease development through various mechanisms, such as increasing gut permeability, persistent systemic inflammation, production of SCFA, bile acids, and alteration in metabolism. Age-related gut dysbiosis can disrupt the communication between gut microbiota and the host, impacting the host's health and lifespan. With aging, a gradual loss of the ability to maintain homeostasis because of structural alteration and gut dysbiosis leads to the disease progression in end-stage liver disease. Recently chronic liver disease has been identified as a global problem. A large number of patients are receiving liver transplants yearly. Thereby gut microbiome ecology is changing in the patients of the gut due to the changes in pathophysiology during the preoperative stage. The present review summarises the age-associated dysbiosis of gut microbial composition and its contribution to chronic liver disease. This review also provides information about the impact of liver transplant on the gut microbiome and possible disadvantageous effects of alteration in gut microbiota.

    Abstract The present work reviews the liquid antisolvent crystallization (LASC) to prepare the nanoparticle of pharmaceutical compounds to enhance their solubility, dissolution rate, and bioavailability. The application of ultrasound and additives is discussed to prepare the particles with narrow size distribution. The use of ionic liquid as an alternative to conventional organic solvent is presented. Herbal compounds, also known for low aqueous solubility and limited clinical application, have been crystalized by LASC and discussed here. The particle characteristics such as particle size and particle size distribution are interpreted in terms of supersaturation, nucleation, and growth phenomena. To overcome the disadvantage of batch crystallization, the scientific literature on continuous flow reactors is also reviewed. LASC in a microfluidic device is emerging as a promising technique. The different design of the microfluidic device and their application in LASC are discussed. The combination of the LASC technique with traditional techniques such as high-pressure homogenization and spray drying is presented. A comparison of product characteristics prepared by LASC and the supercritical CO

    Abstract Background: Breast adenocarcinoma is one of the leading causes of death among women regardless of development in the field of diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Synergistic approaches are emerging as a strategy to overcome monotherapy resistance in cancer treatment. Purpose: Evaluation of the combinatory activity of β-carotene (BC) and lupeol (LUP) for anti-proliferative activity by median effect equation and combination index. Validation was performed by fixed dose combination against murine mammary adenocarcinoma namely Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC). Methods: Cytotoxicity assay was performed using the MTT and Trypan blue methods. Isobologram and combination index analysis were used to analyze the type of interaction between β-carotene (BC) and lupeol (LUP). Based on the synergistic dose combination determination of in-vivo antitumor activity was performed using EAC cells inoculated in mice treated with BC, LUP and their combination (BC+LUP). Tumor volume, cell count, weight along with hematological, biochemical and antioxidant parameters were evaluated. Results: The combination (BC+LUP) exhibited the highest inhibition (IC50=54.8 ± 1.84) compare to the standard inhibitor, wher eas BC and LUP showed moderate inhibition with an IC50 of 101.5 ± 2.66, and 84.08±3.56 respectively. The hematological, biochemical, and tissue antioxidant parameters were reverted to normal levels in the treated animal groups. BC and Lupeol reduced the volume, weight, and viable cell count of the tumor; increased the life span of EAC tumor-bearing mice. Conclusion: β-Carotene and lupeol were found to be more effective in combination for the anti-proliferative activity. Thus combination techniques must be employed to find out the synergistic activity of the molecules.

    Abstract Translation of traditional medicine is moving away from the reductionist approach towards harnessing the synergy of poly-pharmacological phyto-combinations that modulate the activity of target networks of underlying disease phenotypes. Metabolomics enabled the profiling of herbal extracts and formulations in high resolution through LC-MS/MS, GC-MS and NMR providing the possibility of multi-component drug discovery. Phytopharmaceuticals are multi-molecular combinations which follow a combinatory treatment module which minimizes off-target toxicity by synergistic potency and improve outcomes by synergistic efficacy. Combination synergy is a multi-dimensional concept where synergy can be observed from a network pharmacology perspective. Network pharmacology uses systems-level drug–response phenotypes originating from various ‘omics’ platforms. This network pharmacology with metabolomics has been proven to be effective in elucidating the mechanisms of action of medicinal plants and complex traditional formulations. LC-MS/MS of medicinal plants along with network pharmacology unveil synergistic molecular combinations which interact with neighbouring targets in a combination synergy network. Case studies on some traditional herbs mentioned in Ayurveda, has been reported based on the combination of network-based methods and metabolomics for establishing the mechanism for their therapeutic potentials. The synergistic combination of molecules interacts with target-disease networks which provide novel, mechanistic insights towards understanding their therapeutic potentials. This review along with case-studies illustrates various strategies to explore the mechanism of action for different synergistic natural products combinations through neighbourhood-based network pharmacology approach.
