MDMA and/or MDMA-like molecules appear to be an effective pharmacological treatment for the social impairments of autism, at least in animal models. Notably, clinical trials based on MDMA use are now in progress. GPR agonist Nevertheless, larger and more extended clinical studies are warranted to prove the assumption that MDMA and MDMA-like molecules have a role in the management of the social impairments of autism.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of the preparation process and composition on the microstructure of the O/W primary emulsions and the corresponding impact on the formation of oil-in-water-in-oil (O/W/O) multiple emulsions.

Multiple emulsions were prepared by a two-step emulsification method and the microstructure was characterized by the microscope.

The primary emulsion was prepared by four kinds of preparation methods, which including both high-energy and low-energy emulsification, and then the primary emulsion was re-emulsified by stirring in the outer phase.

Through the theoretical investigation and the corresponding verification experiments of the interfacial film, the geometric reason for that the O/W/O multiple emulsion was relatively difficult to prepare has been found. The microstructure of O/W particles was more obvious, and the particle size were smaller with the increase of the hydrophilic emulsifier amount which was beneficial to the formation and stability of O/W/O structures. However, the excess emulsifier existed in the water phase could interfere the stability of the W/O interface. Moreover, the viscosity of inner oil phase had a large influence on the formation of O/W/O emulsion by affecting the particle size of the primary emulsion and the dynamic equilibrium between the inner and outer oil phase.

It can be concluded that fine multiple emulsions formed when the particle size of the primary emulsion was moderate since the large particles would breaking through the outer interface membrane and small particles would combining with the outer oil phase due to the Ostwald ripening.

There have been massive efforts on vaccine development against HIV-1 since its discovery. Various approaches have been taken to attention including rational vaccine design, optimized delivery systems and heterologous regimen to eradicate the virus. DNA vaccines fundamentally induce host immune responses by genetically engineered plasmids encoding antigens and expressed in vivo without need of specific delivery system. Therefore, a longterm of endogenous antigen expression could be possible.

In this study, we aimed at evaluation and comparison of DNA and protein vaccine based on two forms of full and truncated HIV-1 p24-nef antigens by in silico design in BLALB/c.

The recombinant pcDNA3.1 harboring two sets of HIV-1 p24 and nef genes in truncated and full forms were generated and applied to immunize BALB/c along with the corresponding proteins via three different DNA/DNA, DNA/protein and protein/protein regimens.

The results showed that the applied regimens could elicit strong immune responses in comparison with controls and the prim-boost DNA/protein regimen reached the highest immune induction (p < 0.05). Moreover, prime-boost approach was assessed more successful in a qualitatively broad Th1 response induction. The truncated form of the antigens, p24(80- 231 aa)-AAY- Nef (120-150), was evaluated more immunogenic in agreement with the in silico investigation.

The truncated form of p24-Nef was evaluated highly immunogenic specially when applied in prim-boost DNA/Protein regimen and could be investigated in other delivery systems and a proper animal model to achieve a therapeutic vaccine candidate against HIV-1.

The most common treatment for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the daily use of eye drops. Sustained-release drug delivery systems have been developed to improve patient adherence by achieving prolonged therapeutic drug concentrations in ocular target tissues while limiting systemic exposure. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost inserts with bimatoprost eye drops in patients with POAG and ocular hypertension (OH).

We include OH and POAG patients aged between 40 and 75 years-old. Both OH and POAG patients had intraocular pressure (IOP) greater than 21 and ≤30 mmHg at 900 am without glaucoma medication and normal biomicroscopy. Five normal patients with IOP≤14 mmHg constitute the control group. A chitosan-based insert of bimatoprost was placed at the upper conjunctival fornix of the right eye. In the left eye, patients used one drop of LumiganTM daily at 1000 pm. For statistical analysis, we used a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Student t-test, and paire OH.

The liver disease problem prompts investigators to search for new methods of liver treatment.

Silymarin (Sil) protects the liver by reducing the concentration of free radicals and the extent of damage to the cell membranes. A particularly interesting method to increase the bioavailability of Sil is to use synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as reagents. The study considered whether it was possible to use the silymarin-AuNP conjugate as a potential liver-protecting drug.

AuNPs were conjugated to Sil and examine the liver-protecting activity of the conjugate. Experimental hepatitis and hepatocyte cytolysis after carbon tetrachloride actionwere used as a model system, and the experiments were conducted on laboratory animals.

For the first time, silymarin was conjugated to colloidal gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Electron microscopy showed that the resultant preparations were monodisperse and that the mean conjugate diameter was 18-30 nm ± 0.5 nm (mean diameter of the native nanoparticles, 15 ± 0.5 nm). In experimental hepatitis in mice, conjugate administration interfered with glutathione depletion in hepatocytes in response to carbon tetrachloride was conducive to an increase in energy metabolism, and stimulated the monocyte-macrophage function of the liver. The results were confirmed by the high respiratory activity of the hepatocytes in cell culture.

We conclude that the silymarin-AuNP conjugate holds promise as a liver-protecting agent in acute liver disease caused by carbon tetrachloride poisoning.

We conclude that the silymarin-AuNP conjugate holds promise as a liver-protecting agent in acute liver disease caused by carbon tetrachloride poisoning.The article has been withdrawn at the request of the editor of the journal Current Drug Metabolism due to incoherent content.

CD4+ Tlymphocytes form different populations, Th1, Th2, Th9, Th17, Th22, and Treg cells, which have phenotypic and functional differences. Despite the active study of Th17 cells in severe disorders, their role in metabolic disorders, particularly in obesity, is not well understood. Th17 lymphocytes, depending on the microenvironment, can form pathogenic and nonpathogenic subpopulations. Systemic inflammation induces the reprogramming of the transcriptome of normal Th17 cells formed in epithelial tissues, which acquire new properties. A zone of overlapping states exists between IL-17A-producing cells, which does not allow a clear boundary between non-pathogenic Th17 and pathogenic Th17 lymphocytes. We assume that in obesity, the pool of inflammatory pathogenic Th17 cells with cytotoxic potential is a fraction of terminally differentiated memory lymphocytes and is responsible for developing autoimmune reactions.The current 2019-nCoV outbreak is becoming extremely noxious and has affected the whole world. Its control is challenging because there is no effective vaccine or drug available for Coronavirus disease. The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), previously named as 2019 novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV), primarily targets the human respiratory system to lung lesions and lethal pneumonia. Natural products have always shown a crucial role in the process of drug development against various diseases. They could be leads for further drug development to combat emergent mutants of the coronavirus. link2 In this review, the current status of natural compounds and their derivatives acting against different species of CoV are discussed.Pulmonary mycoses are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The current standard treatment by systemic administration is limited by inadequate local bioavailability and systemic toxic effects. Aerosolisation of antifungals is an attractive approach to overcome these problems, but no inhaled antifungal formulation is currently available for the treatment of pulmonary mycoses. Hence, the development of respirable antifungals formulations is of interest and in high demand. In this review, the recent advances in the development of antifungal formulations for pulmonary delivery are discussed, including both nebulised and dry powder formulations. Although the clinical practices of nebulised parenteral amphotericin B and voriconazole formulations (off-label use) are reported to show promising therapeutic effects with few adverse effects, there is no consensus about the dosage regimen (e.g. the dose, frequency, and whether they are used as single or combination therapy). link3 To maximise the benefits of nebulised antifungal therapy, it is important to establish standardised protocol that clearly defines the dose and specifies the device and the administration conditions.
