Involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the inhibition of Sindbis virus replication: a preliminary study (2021)

Abstract Background Sindbis virus (Alphaviridae) is a plus-strand RNA virus that is dependent on the host cell for replication. Cannabinoid (CB) receptors are found on most human cells, including virally infected cells. Activation of cannabinoid receptors has been shown to alter normal cellular physiology. This study aimed to assess how agonist (ACEA) or antagonists/inverse agonist (AM251) of the cannabinoid receptors would alter the cellular environment and impac

Performance Evaluation of Hybrid Fiber‐Reinforced Inorganic Mortar for Textile‐Reinforced Mortar Applications (2024)

The need to improve existing structures has led to extensive research on strengthening techniques. Textile‐reinforced mortar (TRM) systems, which involve the integration of high‐strength fibers with inorganic matrix, have emerged as a highly promising and viable alternative. The objective of this research is to investigate the mechanical characteristics of inorganic mortar by examining different compositions involving sand, fibers, and cementitious materials. Various combinations were tested to

Mesoscale analysis of flexural behavior of SME SMA fiber-reinforced mortar beams considering fiber geometry and volume fraction (2026)

This study examines the influence of the geometry of mortar beams reinforced with crimped shape memory alloy fibers on flexural behavior using the mesoscale finite element method. Moreover, the shape memory effect induced by heating to prestressing inside the mortar matrix was simulated and considered in this model. To this end, 240 mesoscale beams were modeled using fibers with diameters ranging from 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm; lengths of 20.0 mm, 30.0 mm, and 40.0 mm; and volume fractions of fibers of 0

DEVELOPMENT OF SELF NANO-EMULSIFYING DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR AN ANTI-HYPERTENSIVE AGENT FELODIPINE: A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH FOR LIPID NANO-FORMULATION WITH IMPROVED ORAL BIOAVAILABILITY IN RATS (2020)

Objective: The present study involves the development of SNEDDS employing essential oils for enhancing biopharmaceutical performance. Methods: Preliminary investigations suggested the selection of cinnamon oil as an essential oil, tween 60 as a surfactant, while transcutol HP as a cosolvent for formulating SNEDDS. Formulations evaluated for stability, robustness to dilution, and emulsification time, droplet size, zeta potential (ζ), cloud point, in vitro drug release, drug excipient compatibili

Study on early crack resistance of fiber mesh surface reinforced cement mortar (2020)

Abstract Prevention and control of cement concrete early micro cracks is currently one of the highlights in agro-scientific research of the airport engineering. Early micro cracks are mainly produced in concrete surface mortar layer, so reinforcement effect of fiber mesh with three types and three mesh size was studied by mortar flat test. The results show that cement mortar early crack resistance is greatly improved by fiber mesh. Fiber mesh type and mesh size have a great influe

A Systematic Review of Nano-Encapsulation for Improving the Bioavailability of Dietary Supplements and Nutraceuticals (2024)

Nanoencapsulation is a growing technique in the field of nutraceuticals and dietary supplements, offering several advantages over non-encapsulated forms. This systematic review assesses the impact of nanoencapsulation on key factors such as bioavailability, stability, tolerance, and encapsulation efficiency. The selected studies demonstrate that nanoencapsulation enhances the protection and controlled release of bioactive compounds, leading to improved efficacy and therapeutic potential. Further
