Reusable passive sampler with carbon nanotubes for monitoring contaminants in wastewater: Application, regeneration and reuse
In this study, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were successfully applied, regenerated, and reused as a sorbent in passive samplers for monitoring contaminants in treated and untreated wastewater at three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) located in different urbanization areas in northern Poland. Three cycles of chemical and thermal regeneration of used sorbents were performed. It was shown that it is possible to regenerate CNTs a minimum of three times and reuse them in passive samplers while maintaining the desired sorption properties. The obtained results confirm that the CNTs are perfectly in line with the main principles of...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 3780: pH-Sensitive Gold Nanorods for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) Delivery and DNA-Binding Studies
s Tangoulis A facile experimental protocol for the synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol)-modified (PEGylated) gold nanorods (AuNRs@PEG) is presented as well as an effective drug loading procedure using the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) naproxen (NAP). The interaction of AuNRs@PEG and drug-loaded AuNRs (AuNRs@PEG@NAP) with calf-thymus DNA was studied at a diverse temperature revealing different interaction modes; AuNRs@PEG may interact via groove-binding and AuNRs@PEG@NAP may intercalate to DNA-bases. The cleavage activity of the gold nanoparticles for supercoiled circular pBR322 plasmid DNA was studied b...

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 2460: Versatile Platinum(IV) Prodrugs of Naproxen and Acemetacin as Chemo-Anti-Inflammatory Agents
In this study, six platinum(IV) complexes (1–6) that are mono-substituted in the axial position with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory molecule, naproxen or acemetacin, were synthesised. A combination of spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques confirmed the composition and homogeneity of 1–6. The antitumour potential of the resultant complexes was assessed on multiple cell lines and proved to be significantly improved compared with cisplatin, oxaliplatin and carboplatin. The platinum(IV) derivatives conjugated with acemetacin (5 and 6) were determined to be the most biologically potent, demon...

High efficiency and rapid treatment of naproxen sodium wastewater by dielectric barrier discharge coupled with catalysis
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2023 Apr 25. doi: 10.1007/s11356-023-27125-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPharmaceutical wastewater has the characteristics of high organic concentration and poor biodegradability, which will cause serious environmental pollution when discharged into water bodies. In this work, naproxen sodium was used to simulate pharmaceutical wastewater by dielectric barrier discharge technology. The effects of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and combined catalysis on the removal of naproxen sodium solution were studied. The removal effect of naproxen sodium was affected by discharge conditions, includin...

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs-aspirin interactions and with risk of cardiovascular disease in patients osteoarthritis
Am J Epidemiol. 2023 Apr 19:kwad094. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwad094. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) remain the mainstay of the pharmacologic management for relieving osteoarthritis (OA) pain and low-dose aspirin is often prescribed to OA patients who are at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We conducted cohort studies using data from The Health Improvement Network (THIN) database (2000-2019) to assess whether the relation of initiation of naproxen or ibuprofen vs. initiation of other NSAIDs (excluding both naproxen and ibuprofen), respectively, to the risk of CVD was modifie...

A Review of Thyroid Dysfunction due to COVID-19
Conclusion: Changes in thyroid tests may be one of the most important manifestations of COVID19. These changes can be confusing for clinicians and can lead to inappropriate diagnoses and decisions. Prospective studies should be conducted in the future to increase epidemiological and clinical data and optimize the management of thyroid dysfunctions in patients with COVID-19.PMID:37069724 | DOI:10.2174/1389557523666230413090332 (Source: Mini Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry)
