    Abstract Prohibitin is a multifunctional protein that plays an important role in numerous cellular processes. Membrane-associated mitochondrial prohibitin complex is made up of two subunits, PHB1 and PHB2 which are ubiquitously expressed and analogous to each other. High levels of prohibitin expression have consequently been found in esophageal cancer, endometrial adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer and bladder cancer. The aim of this study is to analyse two-point mutation PHB2_MT1(I → A) and PHB2_MT2(I → P), their effect on PHB2 protein and its effect on formation of mitochondrial complex. It is a residual level study, based on current experimental validation. To establish the effects of the two-point mutations, computational approaches such as molecular modelling, molecular docking, normal mode simulation, molecular dynamics simulations and MM/GBSA were used. An analysis of the energy dynamics of both unbound and complex proteins was conducted to elucidate how mutations impact the energy distribution of PHB2. Our study confirmed that the two mutations decreased the overall stability of PHB2. This was evidenced by heightened atomic fluctuations within the mutated region, accompanied by elevated deviations observed in RMSD and R

    Abstract Introduction: Management of brain metastases (BM) is witnessing marked advancement worldwide and modern technologies with better outcomes are gradually being adopted in developing countries. However, data regarding current practice in this field is lacking from the Indian subcontinent prompting us to plan the current study.
    Materials and methods: A retrospective, single institutional audit was performed on 112 patients with solid tumors metastasizing to the brain treated over the last 4 years at a tertiary care center in eastern India, of which 79 were ultimately evaluable. Demography, patterns of incidence, and overall survival (OS) were determined.
    Results: The prevalence of BM was 5.65% among all patients with solid tumors. The median age was 55 years with a slight male preponderance. Lung followed by breast were the most common primary subsites. Multiple BM (54%), left-sided (61%), and frontal lobe lesions (54%) were the more common. Metachronous BM was found in 76% of patients. All patients received whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT). The median OS for the entire cohort was 7 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4 - 19 months). The median OS for lung and breast primaries were 6.5 and 8 months and for recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) classes I, II, and III the OS were 11.5, 7, and 3 months, respectively. Median OS did not differ by number of or other sites of metastases.
    Conclusions: The outcomes from our series about BM from solid tumors in patients from eastern Indian are in congruence to those available in the literature. Patients with BM are still largely treated with WBRT in resource-limited settings.

    Abstract Substance use (SU) during pregnancy is on the rise, posing significant risks to the developing fetus. The adverse impact of maternal alcohol and nicotine use during the perinatal period on offspring health has been well established, including their associations with adverse cardiovascular health in offspring. However, limited studies examine the impact of other well-known SU utilized during pregnancy on offspring's cardiovascular health. This review summarizes the proposed mechanism of action of four commonly utilized substances: cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, and opioids, and their cardiovascular impact. Furthermore, we will review the current understanding of the adverse impact of substance use during pregnancy on offspring's cardiovascular system based on existing studies. This review will also highlight possible molecular mechanisms underlying the in-utero adverse programming of offspring's cardiovascular system secondary to SU in pregnancy and address the gaps in current understanding of how SU adversely impacts the developing cardiovascular system of offspring in utero.

    Abstract Myelin basic protein (MBP), one of the major protein constituents of the myelin sheath, possesses unique ligand-binding features. We present a novel equilibrium headspace gas chromatographic technique to examine the thermodynamics of noncovalent interactions between common perfume components: Lilial, Hedione, Hexylcinnamic aldehyde, and Versalide with MBP monomers and its hexameric MBP-pseudophase. A general theoretical model is used to calculate the critical aggregation concentration (cac) of MBP, perfume component binding constants with monomeric MBP,

    Abstract Immediate control of excessive bleeding and prevention of infections are of utmost importance in the management of wounds. Cryogels have emerged as promising materials for the rapid release of medication and achieving hemostasis. However, their quick release properties pose the challenge of exposing patients to high concentrations of drugs. In this study, hybrid nanocomposites were developed to address this issue by combining poly(vinyl alcohol) and κ-carrageenan with whitlockite nanoapatite (WNA) particles and ciprofloxacin, aiming to achieve rapid hemostasis and sustained antibacterial effects. A physically cross-linked cryogel was obtained by subjecting a blend of poly(vinyl alcohol) and κ-carrageenan to successive freezing-thawing cycles, followed by the addition of WNA. Furthermore, ciprofloxacin was introduced into the cryogel matrix for subsequent evaluation of its wound healing properties. The resulting gel system exhibited a 3D microporous structure and demonstrated excellent swelling, low cytotoxicity, and outstanding mechanical properties. These characteristics were evaluated through analytical and rheological experiments. The nanocomposite cryogel with 4% whitlockite showed extended drug release of 71.21 ± 3.5% over 21 days and antibacterial activity with a considerable growth inhibition zone (4.19 ± 3.55 cm). Experiments on a rat model demonstrated a rapid hemostasis property of cryogels within an average of 83 ± 4 s and accelerated the process of wound healing with 96.34% contraction compared to the standard, which exhibited only ∼78% after 14 days. The histopathological analysis revealed that the process of epidermal re-epithelialization took around 14 days following the skin incision. The cryogel loaded with WNAs and ciprofloxacin holds great potential for strategic utilization in wound management applications as an effective material for hemostasis and anti-infection purposes.

    Abstract Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) confer better growth and development of plants under salinity stress. Moreover, the surface-functionalization of SiNPs with bioactive molecules is expected to enhance its efficacy. The present study thus aimed to modify the surface of SiNPs, by attaching a bioactive molecule (trehalose) to obtain TSiNPs. The successful surface functionalization was confirmed using FTIR, XRD, and EDS. The spherical shape and amorphous nature of the nanoparticles were confirmed using SEM. The TEM image analysis revealed that the size of SiNPs and TSiNPs ranged between 20-50 nm and 200-250 nm, respectively. A novel bioassay experiment designed to study the release of silica and trehalose from nanoparticles elucidated that the TSiNPs improved the release and uptake of silica. Also, trehalose uptake significantly improved after 72 h of application due to enhanced release of trehalose from TSiNPs. Further, this study also aimed to investigate the potential benefits of SiNPs and TSiNPs in promoting the growth and development of plants under salinity stress. In this context, the nanoparticles were applied to the saline-stressed (0, 200, 300 mM) lentil seedlings for the in-planta experiments. The results revealed that both SiNPs and TSiNPs improved the growth of seedlings (shoot, and root length), ionic balance (K
