    Abstract Polyoxovanadate-alkoxide clusters are a new class of electroactive species with applications in a wide variety of fields from redox catalysis to energy storage. Heterometallic installation in these species can be used to modulate the redox properties of polyoxovanadate-alkoxide clusters and thus their applications. However, the formation mechanism of heterometallic polyoxovanadate alkoxides during the solvothermal process is unknown, limiting our understanding regarding what thermodynamic driving forces and/or kinetic barriers are present in the heterometal insertion. Here, we present a computational study on the nucleation pathways of the iron-functionalized mixed-valent hexameric [V

    Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) keeps on destroying normal social integrity worldwide, bringing about extraordinary medical services, cultural and financial interruption. Individuals with diabetes have been demonstrated to be at higher risk of complications and even death when exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Regardless of pandemic scale infection, there is presently limited comprehension on the potential impact of SARS-CoV-2 on individuals with diabetes. Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant circulating plasma protein in human serum and attracted more interest from researchers because most susceptible to non-enzymatic glycation reactions. Albumin down-regulates the expression of ACE2 that is the target receptor of COVID-19. Hypoalbuminemia, coagulopathy, and vascular disease have been connected in COVID-19 and appear to predict outcomes independent of age and morbidity. This review discusses the most recent evidence that the ACE/ACE2 ratio could influence by human serum albumin both the susceptibility of individuals to SARS-CoV-2 infection and the outcome of the COVID-19 disease.

    Abstract Background: The pathogenesis of COVID-19 includes an integrated immune-inflammatory response. Modulation of host immune responses against the SARS-CoV-2 virus might be effective therapeutic management. Various Unani formulations have an immunomodulatory effect.
    Objective: To explore the immunomodulatory effect and safety of Unani polyherbal drug (Tiryaq Wabai) in COVID-19 patients.
    Materials and methods: The current study was a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial that included 92 mild to moderate COVID-19 patients randomized into two groups. The Unani formulation Tiryaq Wabai (2 gm orally once a day) was used as an intervention for 45 days, while the control group received a placebo. Both groups received standard care treatment. The primary outcome was 50% increment in absolute lymphocyte count (ALC). The secondary outcome was 50% increment in mean lymphocyte percentage, CD4 cells, and CD8 cell count. The mean increase in all the above parameters has also been studied. Relevant statistical tests were used to analyze the effect.
    Results: A statistically significant improvement in a 50% increase in ALC (p-value, 0.004), lymphocyte percentage (p-value, 0.056), CD4 (p-value, 0.005), and CD8 cell count (p-value, 0.050) was reported. Also, a significant improvement in the mean value of the lymphocyte percentage (p-value 0.0007), ALC (p-value 0.0022), CD4 cell count (p-value 0.0025), and CD8 cell count (p-value 0.0093) was observed after the treatment. One adverse event of mild grade was reported in the placebo group. The analysis of safety parameters (LFT and KFT) was normal for both groups.
    Conclusion: In mild to moderate COVID-19 patients, Tiryaq Wabai effectively showed immunomodulatory activity by improving ALC count, lymphocyte percentage, CD4, and CD8 cell count.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that use of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) may mitigate arthritic symptoms in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats through activation of NF-E2-related factor 2(Nrf-2) and suppression of NF-kB pathway. Arthritis in rats was induced by subcutaneous injection of collagen type II (200 µl) at the base of the tail. After induction arthritic rats were treated with DMF (25 mg/kg b.wt.) for 20 days from the day 25th to 45th. At the end of the study, serum and joint homogenate was used to assess the oxidative stress and cytokines level. In addition, mRNA expression of various genes such as NF-kB, Keap-1 (Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1) and Nrf-2 was assayed through qRT-PCR in joint tissue. Finally, all these biochemical and molecular results were confirmed by histological and in silico study. Our results showed that decrease in the clinical severity, inflammation, and cell necrosis in DMF-treated rats. This was related with decrease in NF-kB activity and increase in activity of Nrf-2. Treatment with DMF increases the levels of endogenous antioxidant biomarkers glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and decreases inflammation. These biochemical and molecular results were further confirmed by performing in silico study that shows DMF strongly inhibits the activation of NF-kB, and conversely at the same time increases the activity of Nrf-2 that means a significantly lower amount of inflammatory mediators and oxidants was produced. Decrease in inflammation leads to preserving the joint architecture and alleviation from clinical symptoms of arthritis. Collectively, these results indicate that Nrf-2 activation protects against arthritic symptoms.

    Abstract Single-site catalysts (SSCs) achieve a high catalytic performance through atomically dispersed active sites. A challenge facing the development of SSCs is aggregation of active catalytic species. Reducing the loading of these sites to very low levels is a common strategy to mitigate aggregation and sintering; however, this limits the tools that can be used to characterize the SSCs. Here we report a sintering-resistant SSC with high loading that is achieved by incorporating Anderson-Evans polyoxometalate clusters (POMs, MMo

    Abstract Herein, we fabricated an ultrasensitive electrochemical immunosensor for the quantitative detection of corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG). CBG is a protein that regulates glucocorticoid levels and is an important biomarker for inflammation. A decrease in CBG levels is a key biomarker for inflammatory diseases, such as septic shock. To enhance the electrochemical performance and provide a large surface area for anti-CBG immobilization, we functionalized the glassy carbon electrode surface with AuNPs. Electrochemical characterization methods including cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to examine the construction of the fabricated immunosensor. The electrochemical signal demonstrated a remarkable sensitivity to the CBG antigen, with a detection range from 0.01 to 100 μg/mL and a limit of detection of 0.012 μg/mL, making it suitable for both clinical and research applications. This label-free immunosensor offers significant advantages, including high sensitivity, low detection limits and excellent selectivity, making it a promising tool for detecting CBG in complex biological samples. Its potential applications include early disease diagnosis, treatment monitoring and studying CBG-related physiological processes.

    Abstract The synthesis of novel tunable electroactive species remains a key challenge for a wide range of chemical applications such as redox catalysis, energy storage, and optoelectronics. In recent years, polyoxovanadate (POV) alkoxide clusters have emerged as a new class of compounds with highly promising electrochemical applications. However, our knowledge of the formation pathways of POV alkoxides is rather limited. Understanding the speciation of POV alkoxides is fundamental for controlling and manipulating the evolution of transient species during their nucleation and therefore tuning the properties of the final product. Here, we present a computational study of the nucleation pathways of a mixed-valent [(V
