Novel Hypericin-loaded nanoparticles as a new drug delivery system ameliorate olanzapine-induced early renal injury and oxidative stress: In vitro and in vivo approaches by Abeer M. Abd El-Hameed, Fatimah A.R. AbdulAlim, Amal H. Alsehli, Fadwa A. Elroby

“…The HP-SiNPs release profile, entrapment efficiency, cytotoxicity against the Vero cell line, renal function parameters, antioxidant efficacy, and histological changes in male rats administered with OLZ were all investigated, and they were compared to those of free HP.XRD reveals the development of an HP-silica-based composite with a 275.0 nm particle size, which increases BET surface area and thermal stability. An entrapment efficiency of around 95.61 ± 0.28 %, and a prolonged release of less than 20 % after 12 h were validated by the current results. …”

The story of elimination of visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar) in India-Challenges towards sustainment. by Shyam Sundar

“…As a corollary benefit, there was a sharp decline in the incidence of VL due to the reduced prevalence of the vector to extremely low levels, resulting in substantial decreases in the number of KA cases. In the early 1970s, a surge in the number of cases was noted, and since then, it has taken the shape of the current epidemic. …”

Comprehensive vulnerability assessment of power system nodes with wind power based on Dagum-Gini coefficient approach by Mingzhu Yan, Jiahui Wu, Huan Jiang, Yang Kou, Wei Zhao

“…In order to analyze the vulnerability of grid nodes, this paper proposes a dynamic comprehensive evaluation method considering system uniformity, and establishes a comprehensive assessment model of node vulnerability based on wind power grid-connectedness, based on which the vulnerability of wind power-containing power systems is studied. Firstly, the improved weighted power entropy index is selected for the phenomena of system current instability and line overloading, and the comprehensive index set of node vulnerability is constructed by considering the structural and state characteristics, and the subjective and objective weights are calculated by using the hierarchical analysis method and the CRITIC method. …”
