ACS is at a high prevalence in Indonesia. Homocysteine is another product of methionine metabolism. Hyperhomocysteinemia is known to cause ACS through several mechanisms, namely inducing oxidative stress, endothelial injury, and increased likelihood of plaque rupture. Vitamin D is a hormone needed by the body that comes from food or is produced through the metabolism of Vitamin D. Vitamin D functions as an anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic and anti-atherosclerotic agent. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between homocysteine level and Vitamin D deficiency with acute coronary syndrome incidence. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional, observational analysis study with 90 subjects. Subjects were enrolled into two groups; patients with ACS and patients with health control based on age. All subjects were selected from Universitas Airlangga Hospital, Surabaya. Serum homocysteine level and Vitamin D deficiency were calculated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The relationship between serum homocysteine level and Results: Ninety subjects were obtained in this study. The mean age was 62.1±10.9 years (among patients with ACS) and 60.1±10.3 years (healthy persons), with 55.6% male patients. The traditional risk factors i.e., diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were 62.2%, 91.1%, and 75.6%, respectively. The Chi-square analysis results showed homocysteine level and ACS obtained a contingency coefficient of 0.270 (p = 0.008) and Vitamin D with ACS had a contingency coefficient of 0.468 (p = < 0.001). Conclusions: There was a weak association between homocysteine level and ACS and a moderate association between Vitamin D deficiency and ACS.","PeriodicalId":21141,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology","volume":"290 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140447150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this current study is to investigate the Enamel Surface Roughness after Orthodontic Brackets Debonding and Surface Polishing with Restorative and Orthodontic Composites. Materials and Methods: In the present study, three types of composites were used for bonding metal orthodontic brackets. The samples were randomly divided into three cure groups: XT, GC, and SHOFU. Subsequently, the brackets were debonded, and the target surfaces were treated using a carbide bur for one minute by an operator to remove adhesive remnants and be prepared for bonding. The superficial enamel roughness was then examined. Furthermore, the samples were evaluated for the Adhesive Remnant Index before and after adhesive removal and enamel surface preparation. The data were analyzed using ANOVA test and SPSS software version 22. Results: The results indicated that there was no significant difference in surface roughness among the tested groups. However, a significant difference was observed between the surface roughness of the experimental groups and the healthy enamel surface (P<0.05). Moreover, among the different experimental groups, there were statistically significant differences in the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI) after bracket debonding, before and after enamel surface cleaning. These differences were primarily due to distinctions between the XT and SHOFU groups, as well as between the GC and SHOFU groups. However, there was no significant difference in ARI before and after enamel surface cleaning between the XT and GC groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: The results of the present study indicate a desirable and acceptable performance of the composite material. It is suggested that future studies focus on a comparative investigation of several cleaning and surface preparation systems.","PeriodicalId":21141,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology","volume":"292 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140447304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a UV-Visible Spectrophotometer, sythesized CuNPs detect absorbance at 276 nm, a hallmark of copper nanoparticles. The relevant functional groups involved in lowering and stabilizing CuNPs were found using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. CuNPs shape, crystalline phase, and elemental composition were seen using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive analysis spectroscopy, and other techniques. Moreover, CuNPs' antibacterial and antifungal properties produced good inhibitory action against the pathogens that were put to the test. Furthermore, at low doses, CuNPs had no effect on the cytotoxicity of the cell lines MDCK and Caco-2.

The blood-brain barrier prevents most of the treatment molecules to reach the tumor region. Tight junctions within adjacent brain endothelial cell lines including other components make the brain highly impermeable to all the unwanted and foreign materials. The antineoplastic drug molecules which has a molecular weight of less than 400 daltons and have less than 8 hydrogen bonds are only able to access the brain without any hindrance. Hence, most of the small and large anti-cancer drug molecules hardly can cross the barrier. To overcome these problems formulation scientists have adopted various strategies and techniques so that the intended drug molecule can reach the target region of the brain tumor. Among them nanosponges drug delivery is highly appreciated as emerging brain tumor targeted drug delivery. Nanosponges are tiny sponge in the size of nano range with a vesicle filled with various types of drugs. These kinds of the formulation can circulate throughout the blood and reach the target region where drugs are released in a controlled manner. This review article highlights the unique features of blood-brain barrier and novel strategies based on drug formulation to access the core of the brain tumor by overcoming the resistance rendered by blood brain barrier. In addition, it also demonstrates how nanosponges is emerging as one of the best options to prevail over various challenges associated with penetration of the blood-brain barrier.","PeriodicalId":21141,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Pharmacy and Technology","volume":"71 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140448353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of particular note are the evidenced benefits when addressing pervasive challenges such as chronic pain, anxiety, and emotional distress, which are often exacerbated by medical procedures. However, despite its potential for wide utilization in medical contexts, recognition of hypnotherapy's efficacy remains slow and hypnosis is often a second choice, last resort or offered as an adjuvant or supporting role alongside other treatments. One reason is that hypnosis lacks a well-defined role within the healthcare system. This gap persists even as mounting evidence suggests that hypnosis offers the capacity to bring about relief and positive outcomes across diverse issues and populations. Author Sheila Menon, Principal and Administrator of a clinical hypnosis Training and Clinical Facility draws upon extensive experience in clinical intervention and administration to extract scientific values from empirically driven experiences and data. In this paper the RE-AIM Framework is utilised to explore the multifaceted potential of hypnosis in medical settings, shedding light on the need for a more clearly defined integration of this intervention into mainstream healthcare practices. The authors draw from the evidence to make a case that the time is right to recognise hypnosis as a stand-alone psychotherapy and that this will enhance its adoption, reach and efficacy. It is further suggested that rebranding or relabeling this intervention will remove unnecessary biases and make it easier to implement and maintain for the benefit of patients and to improve treatment outcomes. Purpose: the purpose of this study is to use the RE-AIM Framework to evaluate the existing research that consistently provides evidence for better inclusion of hypnosis and to identify new insights into how this useful treatment can be more easily adopted and utilized in the healthcare system based on its interventional strength. Methodology: This is a descriptive study based on secondary data collected from literature following a descriptive analysis. The RE-AIM Framework is used as a mechanism for evaluating hypnosis interventions and to establish a rationale for relabeling them as psychotherapy based on treatment outcomes, interventional strengths and its operative usage in the healthcare system The literature search extracts information from the electronic database to make the study more robust and the literature selected is drawn from those published in the past two decades using keywords such as hypnosis intervention, RE-AIM, hypnosis in health care, mental health, and hypnosis interventions in a medical setup.
