    Abstract Pyogenic granuloma is an inflammatory non-neoplastic lesion of the oral cavity. Chronic, mild, local irritation, trauma, hormonal variables, and certain medications are typical causes of pyogenic granulomas. Women have a higher prevalence than men. The risk is greatest in the second to fifth decades of life. Clinically, the lesion appears smooth, with soft to firm consistency and nontender with a pedunculated or sessile base. Various modalities have been proposed for the treatment of lesion, which include the conventional approach, the use of laser, cryotherapy, and electrocauterization. This case series discusses three cases of pyogenic granuloma in female patients at different locations in the oral cavity. The lesion was subsequently treated with electrosurgery and surgical convention methods. No recurrence of the lesion has been seen in either of the cases.

    Abstract Surface active iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) were used for the simultaneous extraction of water soluble Ag and Au NPs across an aqueous-organic interface from aqueous bulk. The surface activity of iron oxide NPs was achieved by using cationic Gemini surfactants of different architectures during the in situ synthesis of iron oxide NPs in hydrothermal synthesis. Aqueous bulk solubility of Ag and Au NPs was achieved by stabilizing them with conventional surfactants of different polarities such as SDS, CTAB, and DDM. The amphiphilic nature of iron oxide NPs demonstrated their remarkable ability to extract Ag and Au NPs through both hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions. The mechanism of extraction from aqueous bulk was monitored by placing different amounts of surface active iron oxide NPs on the aqueous-organic interface and was studied with the help of UV-visible, DLS, and IR measurements. XPS and TEM measurements were used for the quantitative estimation of efficiency of extraction. Extraction was facilitated when both hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions were participating simultaneously. Results may help in designing a suitable method for purification of industrial effluents contaminated with metal particulates simply by applying an external magnetic field rather than going through a complicated conventional filtration process.

    Abstract Nanoparticle–nanoparticle (NP–NP) interactions were studied by choosing oppositely charged colloidal suspensions of Au and Ag NPs. For this purpose, sodium dodecyl sulfate-stabilized Au NPs were titrated with a series of Gemini surfactant (i.e., 12-n-12 and 16-n-16)-stabilized Ag NPs to demonstrate the effect of head group and hydrophobic tail modifications on the Au–Ag NP interactions. The purpose of selecting Au and Ag NPs was to monitor and differentiate among their individual colloidal behaviors in the course of NP–NP interactions by simultaneously conducting UV–visible, size, and ζ potential measurements. All colloidal properties demonstrated a significant change in the event of Au–Ag NP complex formation during NP–NP interactions. Nanomaterial analysis indicated a high degree of inter-particle fusion among Au and Ag NPs with a high Au–Ag mole ratio for strongly interacting Au–Ag NPs systems but a low Au–Ag mole ratio for the systems where interactions were screened by modifying the molecular structure of Gemini surfactants. Results concluded that it is possible to screen or delay the NP–NP interactions even for strongly interacting systems simply by incorporating a non-polar spacer in the head group region or by increasing the length of hydrocarbon chains of the Gemini surfactant, thus producing colloidal suspensions with a longer shelf life and better industrial applicability.

    Abstract Surface active and water-soluble magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) were used to demonstrate the extraction of bionanomaterials from the aqueous bulk. Au NPs conjugated with different water-insoluble and water-soluble proteins were used as model bionanomaterials. UV-visible studies, zeta potential, and microscopic analyses were performed to quantify the extraction. Sodium dodecyl sulfate and dimethylene bis(dodecyldimethylammonium bromide) (12-2-12) stabilized surface active magnetic NPs were fully capable of extracting Au NPs conjugated with predominantly hydrophobic proteins from the aqueous bulk when placed at the aqueous-air interface. However, they were poor in extracting Au NPs from the aqueous bulk which were coated with predominantly hydrophilic water-soluble protein. On the other hand, water-soluble dodecyldimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate stabilized magnetic NPs proved to be fully capable of extracting all kinds of Au NPs conjugated with either water-soluble or water-insoluble proteins. The results highlight the remarkable ability of magnetic NPs in the extraction of bionanomaterials when placed at either biointerfaces or in the aqueous bulk of biological systems.

    Abstract In relevance to materials chemistry, this study presents biodiesel as an important non-aqueous medium for the synthesis of nanomaterials by demonstrating the synthesis of most versatile gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) in biodiesel medium. We show single-step in situ synthesis of Au and Ag NPs using biodiesels prepared from soybean and olive oil. Both biodiesels proved to be excellent solvents, reducing agents, and stabilizing agents for Au and Ag NPs. Au and Ag NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscope and XRD analyses, and were within the range of ∼10–50 nm. Colloidal stabilization of NPs by the surface adsorption of biodiesel was evaluated by detailed FT-IR analysis and determined to be driven by the ester head group of biodiesel molecules. Biodiesel-stabilized NPs in aqueous phase were efficiently extracted in the organic phase without using any phase transfer agent, suggesting the applicability of biodiesel in entrapping metal particulates and removing them from the aqueous phase with relevance to environmental sustainability.

    Abstract Oppositely charged nanoparticle (NP)–nanoparticle (NP) interactions were studied by titrating sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) stabilized NPs with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) stabilized NPs at constant temperature with the help of UV–visible and dynamic light scattering measurements. CTAB stabilized NPs were systematically replaced with a series of cationic gemini surfactants to demonstrate the effect of head group and hydrocarbon tail modifications on the electrostatic interactions with SDS stabilized NPs. Introduction of the dimeric gemini head group (alkylammonium or imidazolium), spacer length, and double tail hydrocarbon length all significantly reduced the NP–NP interactions and delayed their salting-out process. They lead to the formation of stable colloidal aqueous solubilized NP–NP complexes. The results concluded that NP–NP interactions can be overcome if appropriately stabilized NPs are used to maintain their colloidal stability so as to achieve maximum applicability.

    Abstract Skeletonization has been a part of morphological image processing for a wide variety of applications. Skeletonization algorithms have played an important role in the preprocessing phase of OCR systems. Many algorithms for vectorization by skeletonization have been devised and applied to a great variety of pictures and drawings for data compression, pattern recognition and raster-to-vector conversion. The vectorization algorithms often used in pattern recognition tasks also require one-pixel-wide lines as input. But parallel skeletonization algorithms which generate one-pixel-wide skeletons can have difficulty in preserving the connectivity of an image or generate spurious branches. In this paper an alternative parallel skeletonization algorithm has been developed and implemented. This algorithm is better than already existing algorithms in terms of connectivity and spurious branches. A few most common skeletonization algorithms have been implemented and evaluated on the basis of performance parameters and compared with newly developed algorithm.

    Abstract The work describes systematic development of nanomicellar cationic supersaturable self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (CS-SNEDDS) for augmenting oral biopharmaceutical performance of raloxifene hydrochloride. Plain SNEDDS formulation containing Capryol 90, Cremophor RH 40, and Transcutol HP was optimized using D-optimal mixture design. SNEDDS were characterized for emulsification time, globule size, in vitro drug release, and ex vivo permeation. The CS-SNEDDS formulation was prepared from the optimized SNEDDS by adding oleylamine as the cationic charge inducer and HPMC as the polymeric precipitation inhibitor. Evaluation of CS-SNEDDS was carried out through in vitro cell line studies on Caco-2 and MCF-7 cells, in situ perfusion, and in vivo pharmacokinetic studies, which indicated significant improvement in biopharmaceutical attributes of the drug from CS-SNEDDS over plain drug.
