    Abstract Electrodeposited polyaniline over the carbon nanotubes fiber (CNTF) has been investigated as potential candidate to substitutes the Pt based auxiliary electrodes in unidimensional fibrous solar cells. CNTF, with excellent electrical and mechanical properties, modified with conducting polymer (polyaniline) via facile electrodeposition process which employed as cathodic materials showed efficient electrochemical reduction of triiodide ions in the fiber shaped dye-sensitized solar cells. Scanning electron microscopic analysis showed the efficacious integration of conducting polymer over the CNTF surface. The admirable electrocatalytic behavior of the fabricated electrode has investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Current density and voltage (

    Abstract Over the past few decades, nanotechnology has shown promising prospects in biomedicine and has a proven impact on enhancing therapeutics by facilitating drug delivery. The present study brings an amalgamation of nanoscience and “clean technology” by fabricating nature-friendly nanoparticles (NPs) sans the use of chemical surfactants using Indian mustard seed, Brassica juncea L. The as-synthesized NPs were characterized to assess their average size, crystallinity, morphology, and constituent functional groups through conventional techniques: dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The NPs were crystalline in nature and exhibited a mean size of 205.5 nm (PDI of 0.437) being primarily polygonal in shape. Additionally, the therapeutic efficacy of the green NPs was evaluated based on their cytotoxic effect against two human cancer lines, MCF-7 and HepG-2. Both the NPs and the bulk seeds showed a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect. However, an assessment of the antiproliferative/cytotoxic potential of the green NPs versus the bulk seeds showed that the NPs were relatively more efficacious on both cell lines. Taken together, the mustard seed NPs could be potential nutraceuticals considering the green credential in their mode of biosynthesis.

    Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant noncommunicable disease associated with high long-term mortality. In addition to more effective secondary therapies, the primary prevention of CVD has developed markedly in the past several years. This study aims to investigate the evidence and impact of reducing the threshold for primary CVD risk management to 10% over 10 years with "statin" therapy. To conduct research a systematic review utilizing 5 electronic database searches was completed for studies, analyzing the clinical effect of reducing the threshold of CVD risk to 10% over 10 years for primary prevention with statin therapy. The study included six (6) trials. Statin therapy was allocated to 31,018 participants. The mean age was 61 years and the mean follow-up was 4.6 years. The mean relative reduction in total cholesterol was 19% (from an average of), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was 28.3% (from mmol/L to mmol/L) and triglycerides were 14.8% (from mmol/L to mmol/L). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol was observed to increase by a mean of 3.3% (from mmol/L to mmol/L). When examining all-cause mortality, statin therapy was associated with a 12% relative risk reduction compared with control, where overall rates were reduced from 1.4% to 1. % There is a 30% risk reduction in general major coronary events (from to %). There is a 19% risk reduction in general major cerebrovascular events with the statin group. While there is undoubtedly statistical evidence that supports the observation of the effectiveness of statin therapy for primary prevention, there is a risk that many hundreds of patients need to be treated to avoid a single adverse clinical outcome.

    Abstract Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a serious health problem that causes a considerable number of mortality in a number of affluent nations throughout the world. The estimated death encountered in many developed countries includes including Pakistan, reached 111,367 and accounted for 9.87% of all deaths, despite the mortality rate being around 7.2 million deaths per year, or 12% of all estimated deaths accounted annually around the globe, with improved health systems. Atherosclerosis progressing causes the coronary arteries to become partially or completely blocked, which results in CAD. Additionally, smoking, diabetes mellitus, homocystinuria, hypertension, obesity, hyperlipidemia, and psychological stress are risk factors for CAD. The symptoms of CAD include angina which is described as a burning, pain or discomfort in the chest, nausea, weakness, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and pain or discomfort in the arms or shoulders. Atherosclerosis and thrombosis are the 2 pathophysiological pathways most frequently involved in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Asymptomatic plaque disruption, plaque bleeding, symptomatic coronary blockage, and myocardial infarction are the prognoses for CAD. In this review, we will focus on medicated therapy which is being employed for the relief of angina linked with CAD including antiplatelet medicines, nitrates, calcium antagonists, blockers, catheterization, and the frequency of recanalized infarct-related arteries in patients with acute anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI). Furthermore, we have also enlightened the importance of biomarkers that are helpful in the diagnosis and management of CAD.

    Abstract The current study was performed to study the effect of biologically synthesised gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to control hyperglycaemic conditions in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. In this study, the rats were divided into four groups: Group I normal control rats (non-diabetic, untreated); Group II diabetes-induced rats used as diabetic controls DC (diabetic, untreated). Group III diabetes-induced rats treated with AuNPs DT; Group IV normal rats treated with AuNPs NT. Diabetes was induced by administering an intraperitoneal injection of a freshly prepared solution of STZ (50mg/kg body weight (bw)). The glucose level was significantly increased in the diabetic control rats compared with the controls (P<0.001). Decreased liver function and kidney function were detected in the diabetic treated rats and normal treated rats after AuNP administration compared with the controls. The present study is the first to demonstrate that AuNPs significantly enhance antioxidant production in STZ-induced diabetic rats, a recognised model of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

    Abstract Background: Gold nanoparticles have recently been investigated with respect to biocompatibility according to their interactions with cells. The purpose of this study was to examine cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction by well-characterized gold nanoparticles in human breast epithelial MCF-7 cells.
    Methods: Apoptosis was assessed by TUNEL, cytotoxicity by MTT assay and caspase 3, 9, p53, Bax and Bcl expression by real-time PCR assays.
    Results: Gold nanoparticles at up to 200 μg/mL for 24 hours exerted concentration-dependent cytotoxicity and significant upregulation of mRNA expression of p53, bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9, whereas expression of anti- apoptotic bcl-2 was down-regulated.
    Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge this is the first report showing that gold nanoparticles induce apoptosis in MCF-7 cells via p53, bax/bcl-2 and caspase pathways.

    Abstract Acid phosphatase (ACP) is a key enzyme in the regulation of phosphate feeding in plants. In this study, a new ACP from C. oxyacantha was isolated to homogeneity and biochemically described for the first time. Specific activity (283 nkat/mg) was found after 2573 times purification fold and (17 %) yield. Using SDS-PAGE under denaturing and nondenaturing conditions, ACP was isolated as a monomer with a molecular weight of 36 kDa. LC-MS/MS confirmed the presence of this band, suggesting that C. oxycantha ACP is a monomer. The enzyme could also hydrolyze orthophosphate monoester with an optimal pH of 5.0 and a temperature of 50 °C. Thermodynamic parameters were also determined (Ea, ΔH°, ΔG°, and ΔS°). ACP activity was further studied in the presence of cysteine, DTT, SDS, EDTA, β-ME, Triton-X-100 H
