Background: Quickly dissolved oral films are a widely accepted method of delivering drugs and help patients adhere to treatment regimens. Nanosuspensions (NS) are colloidal dispersions of drug particles with a submicron size, and their large surface area enhances the solubility and dissolution of low-water-soluble drugs. Febuxostat (FXT) is a non-purine xanthine oxidase inhibitor with a low dissolution rate that limits its absorption. Objective: To develop fast-dissolving oral films (FDOFs) containing FXT NS and convert NS into solid dosage forms to ease administration and accelerate drug release. Methods: FXT NS was prepared using Soluplus as a stabilizer and Tween80 as a co-stabilizer through an anti-solvent precipitation technique. We prepared FDOFs using a solvent casting method, utilizing hydrophilic polymers like pullulan, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), gelatin, and plasticizers like polyethylene glycol (PEG400) and glycerin. The study assessed the film's thickness, weight, folding endurance, drug content, disintegration time, and drug release. We validated the drug's compatibility using FTIR, and conducted a crystallinity study using DSC and X-ray powder diffraction. Results: F4 was the optimized formula prepared using PVA and PEG400. In just three minutes, the F4 dissolution rate increased significantly (99.63% vs. 11.23%) compared to the FXT ordinary film. Also, it had good mechanical properties. Conclusions: FXT NS were successfully loaded into FDOFs with accepted properties.
In this study, NAC-capped CdTe/CdS/ZnS core/double shell QDs were synthesized in an aqueous medium to investigate their utility in distinguishing normal DNA from mutated DNA extracted from biological samples. Following the interaction between the synthesized QDs with DNA extracted from leukemia cases (represents damaged DNA) and that of healthy donors (represents undamaged DNA), differential fluorescent emission maxima and intensities were observed. It was found that damaged DNA from leukemic cells DNA-QDs conjugates at 585 nm while intact DNA (from healthy subjects) DNA–QDs conjugates at 574 nm. The obtained results from the optical analyses indicate that the prepared QDs could be utilized as probe for detecting disrupted DNA th

Show MoreThe research includes the synthesis and identification of the mixed ligands complexes of M+2ions in general composition[M(Asn)2(SMX)] Where L- Aspargine (C4H8N2O3)symbolized (AsnH) as a primary ligand and Sulfamethoxazole(C10H11N3O3S) symbolized (SMX) as a secondary ligand. The ligands and the metal chlorides were brought in to reaction at room temperature in(v/v) ethanol /water as solvent containing NaOH. The reaction required the following [(metal: 2(Na+Asn-): (SMX)] molar ratios with M(II) ions, Where: M(II)=Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II). The UV–Vis and magnetic moment data revealed an octahedral geometry around M(II), The conductivity data show a non-electrolytic nature of the complexes. The antimicrobial a

It has been found that more than half of genetic changes were epigenetic. Epigenetic alterations are catalyzed by DNMTs enzymes. Increased knowledge about this molecular event may achieve progress in the war against cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the expression of DNMT3B among oral, laryngeal and skin SCC. Materials and Methods: This study was performed on (120) formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded blocks, histopathologically diagnosed as oral, laryngeal and skin SCC). Immunohistochemical staining of DNMT3B antibody was performed on each case of this study. Results: The immunoh

Show MoreGiant Cell Fibroma (GCF) is a relatively rare oral mucosal lesion, so named due to the characteristic giant cells present within the fibrous stroma of the lesion, limited number of clinicopathological studies were performed in previously published literature. This study was performed to evaluate the clinicopathological features of Giant cell fibroma in a sample of Iraqi patients. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections from 22 giant cell fibroma in period between 2010 and 2018 were retrieved from the laboratory of oral pathology of Baghdad University/College of Dentistry, Clinical data and microscopic features were reviewed and analyzed according to the available surgical reports. The mean age of patients at the time of diagnosis was 29.6
