Abstract
This research investigated the synthesis of biochar through the direct pyrolysis of pre-roasted sunflower seed shells (SFS) and peanut shells (PNS) and compared their application for the effective removal of textile dyes from wastewater. Biochar prepared at 900 °C (SFS900 and PNS900) showed the highest adsorption capacity, which can be attributed to the presence of higher nitrogen content and graphite-like structures. CHNS analysis revealed that PNS900 exhibited an 11.4% higher carbon content than SFS900, which enhanced the environmental stability of PNS biochar. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses of the produced biochar indicated the degradation of cellulosic and lignin moieties. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed a 13.8% and 22.6% increase in C-C/C=C mass concentrations in the SFS900 and PNS900, respectively, and could be attributed to the condensation of polyaromatic structures. Batch experiments for dye removal demonstrated that irrespective of dye species, PNS900 exhibited superior dye removal efficiency compared to SFS900 at similar dosages. In addition to H-bonding and electrostatic interactions, the presence of pyridinic-N and graphitic-N can play a vital role in enhancing Lewis acid-base and π-π EDA interactions. The results can provide valuable insights into the biochar-dye interaction mechanisms.

Abstract
Cancer profoundly influences morbidity and fatality rates worldwide. Patients often have dismal prognoses despite recent improvements in cancer therapy regimens. However, potent biomolecules derived from natural sources, including medicinal and dietary plants, contain biological and pharmacological properties to prevent and treat various human malignancies. Capsaicin is a bioactive phytocompound present in red hot chili peppers. Capsaicin has demonstrated many biological effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticarcinogenic capabilities. This review highlights the cellular and molecular pathways through which capsaicin exhibits antineoplastic activities. Our work also depicts the synergistic anticancer properties of capsaicin in conjunction with other natural bioactive components and approved anticancer drugs. Capsaicin inhibits proliferation in various cancerous cells, and its antineoplastic actions in numerous in vitro and in vivo carcinoma models impact oncogenesis, tumor-promoting and suppressor genes, and associated signaling pathways. Capsaicin alone or combined with other phytocompounds or approved antineoplastic drugs triggers cell cycle progression arrest, generating reactive oxygen species and disrupting mitochondrial membrane integrity, ultimately stimulating caspases and promoting death. Furthermore, capsaicin alone or in combination can promote apoptosis in carcinoma cells by enhancing the p53 and c-Myc gene expressions. In conclusion, capsaicin alone or in combination can have enormous potential for cancer prevention and intervention, but further high-quality studies are needed to firmly establish the clinical efficacy of this phytocompound.

Abstract
Litchi (Litchi chinensis) is a widely consumed fruit that has been used in many food and health-promoting products worldwide. Litchi is a good source of nutrients including vitamin and minerals, dietary fibers, proteins, and carbohydrates. Of note, several studies have reported that the constituents of litchi fruits elicit antioxidant properties and help to maintain blood pressure, and reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. An unclearly explained outbreak occurred in June 2019 in Muzaffarpur (Bihar), India resulted in the death of more than 150 children in a week, followed by a total of 872 cases and 176 deaths. This outbreak was associated with the consumption of Litchi fruits and the occurrence of acute encephalitis syndrome. In this high Litchi production region, a huge number of acute encephalitis syndrome cases have been registered in children in the past two decades with high mortality due to these neurological disorders linked to the consumption of litchi. While finding out the causes for this recurrent outbreak, whether or not it is caused by a virus or the phytotoxins of litchi is to be considered critical. Amongst the probable causes were observed to be methylene cyclopropyl acetic acid and hypoglycin-A found in unripe Litchi fruits which can cause hypoglycemia and as a plausible cause of AES outbreaks. This review addresses this recurrent outbreak in-depth exploring the possible causes and discusses the possible mechanisms by which phytotoxins of litchi such as hypoglycin A and methylene cyclopropylglycine which may elicit such toxic effects.

Abstract
Dietary compounds, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and spices, have been shown to exhibit anticancer properties due to their high concentrations of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and secondary metabolites, known as phytochemicals. Although emerging studies suggest that avocado (Persea americana Mill) displays antineoplastic properties in addition to numerous other health benefits, current literature lacks an updated comprehensive systematic review dedicated to the anticancer effects of avocado. This review aims to explore the cancer-preventive effects of avocados and the underlying molecular mechanisms. The in vitro studies suggest the various avocado-derived products and phytochemicals induced cytotoxicity, reduced cell viability, and inhibited cell proliferation. The in vivo studies revealed reduction in tumor number, size, and volume as well. The clinical studies demonstrated that avocado leaf extract increased free oxygen radical formation in larynx carcinoma tissue. Various avocado products and phytochemicals from the avocado fruit, including avocatin-B, persin, and PaDef defensin, may serve as viable cancer prevention and treatment options based on current literature. Despite many favorable outcomes, past research has been limited in scope, and more extensive and mechanism-based in vivo and randomized clinical studies should be performed before avocado-derived bioactive phytochemicals can be developed as cancer preventive agents.

Abstract
In this study, for the first time, we evaluated microplastic contamination in water, beach sand, and fish samples collected from the seven most famous and crowded beaches of the eastern coast of India, which cover around 1200 km. The average number of microplastics found was 80 ± 33 microplastics/m3 and 4 ± 2 microplastics/kg dry weight with a numerical abundance of polyethylene and polystyrene for water and sand samples, respectively. The polymer hazard index score, which represents the severity of the microplastics scenario in the studied locations, depicts that this coastline falls under hazard levels IV and V (most hazardous) for water and sand samples, respectively. The study revealed that approximately 30 % of the commercially important fishes collected from the locations contained microplastics with polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene being the most abundant types. Rastrelliger kanagurta and Sardinella gibbosa were identified as the most polluted species.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most common lethal diseases and the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Effective cancer treatment is a global problem, and subsequent advancements in nanomedicine are useful as substitute management for anti-cancer agents. Nanotechnology, which is gaining popularity, enables fast-expanding delivery methods in science for curing diseases in a site-specific approach, utilizing natural bioactive substances because several studies have established that natural plant-based bioactive compounds can improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Bioactive, in combination with nanotechnology, is an exceptionally alluring and recent development in the fight against cancer. Along with their nutritional advantages, natural bioactive chemicals may be used as chemotherapeutic medications to manage cancer. Alginate, starch, xanthan gum, pectin, guar gum, hyaluronic acid, gelatin, albumin, collagen, cellulose, chitosan, and other biopolymers have been employed successfully in the delivery of medicinal products to particular sites. Due to their biodegradability, natural polymeric nanobiocomposites have garnered much interest in developing novel anti-cancer drug delivery methods. There are several techniques to create biopolymer-based nanoparticle systems. However, these systems must be created in an affordable and environmentally sustainable way to be more readily available, selective, and less hazardous to increase treatment effectiveness. Thus, an extensive comprehension of the various facets and recent developments in natural polymeric nanobiocomposites utilized to deliver anti-cancer drugs is imperative. The present article provides an overview of the latest research and developments in natural polymeric nanobiocomposites, particularly emphasizing their applications in the controlled and targeted delivery of anti-cancer drugs.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) and histone acetyltransferases (HATs) are enzymes that remove or add acetyl groups to lysine residues of histones, respectively. Histone deacetylation causes DNA to more snugly encircle histones and decreases gene expression, whereas acetylation has the opposite effect. Through these small alterations in chemical structure, HATs and HDACs regulate DNA expression. Recent research indicates histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) may be used to treat malignancies, including leukemia, B-cell lymphoma, virus-associated tumors, and multiple myeloma. These data suggest that HDACis may boost the production of immune-related molecules, resulting in the growth of CD8-positive T-cells and the recognition of nonreactive tumor cells by the immune system, thereby diminishing tumor immunity. The argument for employing epigenetic drugs in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients is supported by evidence that both epigenetic changes and mutations in the epigenetic machinery contribute to AML etiology. Although hypomethylating drugs have been licensed for use in AML, additional epigenetic inhibitors, such as HDACis, are now being tested in humans. Preclinical studies evaluating the efficacy of HDACis against AML have shown the ability of specific agents, such as anobinostat, vorinostat, and tricostatin A, to induce growth arrest, apoptosis, autophagy and cell death. However, these inhibitors do not seem to be successful as monotherapies, but instead achieve results when used in conjunction with other medications. In this article, we discuss the mounting evidence that HDACis promote extensive histone acetylation, as well as substantial increases in reactive oxygen species and DNA damage in hematological malignant cells. We also evaluate the potential of various natural product-based HDACis as therapeutic agents to combat hematological malignancies.

Abstract
The açaí palm (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), a species belonging to the Arecaceae family, has been cultivated for thousands of years in tropical Central and South America as a multipurpose dietary plant. The recent introduction of açaí fruit and its nutritional and healing qualities to regions outside its origin has rapidly expanded global demand for açaí berry. The health-promoting and disease-preventing properties of this plant are attributed to numerous bioactive phenolic compounds present in the leaf, pulp, fruit, skin, and seeds. The purpose of this review is to present an up-to-date, comprehensive, and critical evaluation of the health benefits of açaí and its phytochemicals with a special focus on cellular and molecular mechanisms of action. In vitro and in vivo studies showed that açaí possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and exerts cardioprotective, gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, renoprotective, antilipidemic, antidiabetic, and antineoplastic activities. Moreover, clinical trials have suggested that açaí can protect against metabolic stress induced by oxidation, inflammation, vascular abnormalities, and physical exertion. Due to its medicinal properties and the absence of undesirable effects, açaí shows a promising future in health promotion and disease prevention, in addition to a vast economic potential in the food and cosmetic industries.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most diagnosed and second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Limitations with existing treatment regimens have demanded the search for better treatment options. Different phytochemicals with promising anti-CRC activities have been reported, with the molecular mechanism of actions still emerging. This review aims to summarize recent progress on the study of natural phenolic compounds in ameliorating CRC using in vivo models. This review followed the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reporting and Meta-Analysis. Information on the relevant topic was gathered by searching the PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science databases using keywords, such as "colorectal cancer" AND "phenolic compounds", "colorectal cancer" AND "polyphenol", "colorectal cancer" AND "phenolic acids", "colorectal cancer" AND "flavonoids", "colorectal cancer" AND "stilbene", and "colorectal cancer" AND "lignan" from the reputed peer-reviewed journals published over the last 20 years. Publications that incorporated in vivo experimental designs and produced statistically significant results were considered for this review. Many of these polyphenols demonstrate anti-CRC activities by inhibiting key cellular factors. This inhibition has been demonstrated by antiapoptotic effects, antiproliferative effects, or by upregulating factors responsible for cell cycle arrest or cell death in various in vivo CRC models. Numerous studies from independent laboratories have highlighted different plant phenolic compounds for their anti-CRC activities. While promising anti-CRC activity in many of these agents has created interest in this area, in-depth mechanistic and well-designed clinical studies are needed to support the therapeutic use of these compounds for the prevention and treatment of CRC.

Abstract
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.), also known as the "queen of fruits", is a tropical fruit of the Clusiacea family. While native to Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, India, and the Philippines, the fruit has gained popularity in the United States due to its health-promoting attributes. In traditional medicine, mangosteen has been used to treat a variety of illnesses, ranging from dysentery to wound healing. Mangosteen has been shown to exhibit numerous biological and pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antimalarial, antidiabetic, and anticancer properties. Disease-preventative and therapeutic properties of mangosteen have been ascribed to secondary metabolites called xanthones, present in several parts of the tree, including the pericarp, fruit rind, peel, stem bark, root bark, and leaf. Of the 68 mangosteen xanthones identified so far, the most widely-studied are α-mangostin and γ-mangostin. Emerging studies have found that mangosteen constituents and phytochemicals exert encouraging antineoplastic effects against a myriad of human malignancies. While there are a growing number of individual research papers on the anticancer properties of mangosteen, a complete and critical evaluation of published experimental findings has not been accomplished. Accordingly, the objective of this work is to present an in-depth analysis of the cancer preventive and anticancer potential of mangosteen constituents, with a special emphasis on the associated cellular and molecular mechanisms. Moreover, the bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and safety of mangosteen-derived agents together with current challenges and future research avenues are also discussed.

Abstract
Liquid water is well-known for its intriguing thermodynamic anomalies in the supercooled state. The phenomenological two-state models—based on the assumption of the existence of two types of competing local states (or, structures) in liquid water—have been extremely successful in describing water’s thermodynamic anomalies. However, the precise structural features of these competing local states in liquid water still remain elusive. Here, we have employed a predefined structural order parameter-free approach to unambiguously identify two types of competing local states—entropically and energetically favored—with significantly different structural and energetic features in the TIP4P/2005 liquid water. This identification is based on the heterogeneous structural relaxation of the system in the potential energy landscape (PEL) during the steepest-descent energy minimization. This heterogeneous relaxation is characterized using order parameters inspired by the spin-glass transition in frustrated magnetic systems. We have further established a direct relationship between the population fluctuation of the two states and the anomalous behavior of the heat capacity in supercooled water. The composition-dependent spatial distribution of the entropically favored local states shows an interesting crossover from a spanning network-like single cluster to the spatially delocalized clusters in the close vicinity of the Widom line. Additionally, this study establishes a direct relationship between the topographic features of the PEL and the water’s thermodynamic anomalies in the supercooled state and provides alternate markers (in addition to the locus of maxima of thermodynamic response functions) for the Widom line in the phase plane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is, at present, among the leading causes of morbidity globally. Despite advances in treatment regimens for cancer, patients suffer from poor prognoses. In this context, the availability of vast natural resources seems to alleviate the shortcomings of cancer chemotherapy. The last decade has seen a breakthrough in the investigations related to the anticancer potential of dietary phytoconstituents. Interestingly, a handsome number of bioactive principles, ranging from phenolic acids, phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, stilbenes, and terpenoids to organosulphur compounds have been screened for their anticancer properties. Among the phenylpropanoids currently under clinical studies for anticancer activity, eugenol is a promising candidate. Eugenol is effective against cancers like breast, cervical, lung, prostate, melanomas, leukemias, osteosarcomas, gliomas, etc., as evident from preclinical investigations. OBJECTIVE The review aims to focus on cellular and molecular mechanisms of eugenol for cancer prevention and therapy. METHODS Based on predetermined criteria, various scholarly repositories, including PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct were analyzed for anticancer activities of eugenol. RESULTS Different biochemical investigations reveal eugenol inducing cytotoxicity, inhibiting phases of the cell cycles, programmed cell death, and auto-phagocytosis in studied cancer lines; thus, portraying eugenol as a promising anticancer molecule. A survey of current literature has unveiled the molecular mechanisms intervened by eugenol in exercising its anticancer role. CONCLUSION Based on the critical analysis of the literature, eugenol exhibits vivid signaling pathways to combat cancers of different origins. The reports also depict the advancement of novel nano-drug delivery approaches upgrading the therapeutic profile of eugenol. Therefore, eugenol nanoformulations may have enormous potential for both the treatment and prevention of cancer.

Abstract
Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality across the globe. Emerging evidence suggests that consumption of a well-balanced diet containing a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains can prevent the development of, halt, or reverse cancer progression. Carica papaya L. (papaya) has a wide distribution throughout many countries. Although the fruits of C. papaya are primarily consumed as food, various parts of this tree, including the bark, fruits, latex, seeds, and roots, have been used in traditional medicine for health promotion and disease mitigation. While numerous individual studies have investigated anticancer efficacies of various products and constituents of C. papaya, an up-to-date, comprehensive, and critical evaluation of available research data covering its role in the prevention and intervention of various human malignancies has not been conducted according to our knowledge. The purpose of this review is to present a systematic, comprehensive, and critical analysis of the cancer-preventive potential of C. papaya extracts, fractions, and isolated phytochemicals with a special emphasis on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of action. Moreover, the bioavailability, pharmacokinetics, and safety profiles of individual phytochemicals of C. papaya, as well as current limitations, challenges, and future directions of research, have also been discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Natural products, with incredible chemical diversity, have been widely studied for their antitumor potential. Quercetin (QU) and quercetin glycoside (rutin), both polyphenolic flavonoids, stick out amongst the natural products, through various studies. Rutin (RU) and its aglycone (QU) have various biological properties that include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic activities. However, several side effects have restricted the efficacy of these polyphenolic flavonoids, which makes it necessary to use new strategies involving low and pharmacological doses of QU and RU, either alone or in combination with other anticancer drugs. PURPOSE The aim of this study is to present a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the anticancer ability of different nano-formulations of RU and QU for improved treatment of various malignancies. METHODS Studies were recognized via systematic searches of ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Scopus databases. Eligibility checks were conducted based upon predefined selection criteria. Ninety articles were included in this study. RESULTS There was conclusive evidence for the association between anticancer activity and treatment with RU or QU. Furthermore, studies indicated that nano-formulations of RU and QU have greater anticancer activities in comparison to either agent alone, which leads to increased efficiency for treating cancer. CONCLUSION The results of this systematic review demonstrate the anticancer activities of nano-formulations of RU and QU and their molecular mechanisms through preclinical studies. This paper also attempts to contribute to further research by addressing the current limitations/challenges and proposing additional studies to realize the full potential of RU- and QU-based formulations for cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrence of periampullary cancer after pancreatoduodenectomy is common. The aim of this study was to investigate patterns of recurrence, incidence, and factors associated with local and distant recurrences. METHODS This retrospective, single-centre study included consecutive patients with periampullary cancer who underwent resection with curative intent from January 2012 to January 2018. Survival, patterns of recurrence, and factors associated with recurrences were analysed. RESULTS Median overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival among 398 included patients was 58.4 and 49.5 months respectively. Twenty-three patients (5.8 per cent) developed isolated local recurrences (LR), 50 (12.6 per cent) developed LR along with distant metastasis (DM), and 103 (25.9 per cent) developed isolated DM. Median OS was 40.4 months for patients with isolated LR versus 23 months for those with DM (P < 0.001). Tumour subtype (distal common bile duct (CBD): odds ratio (OR) 6.18, 95 per cent c.i. 2.19 to 17.46) and node-positive status (OR 2.36, 1.26 to 4.43) were independently associated with higher rates of LR. The most common site for isolated LR was along the superior mesenteric artery (12 of 23 patients). Tumour subtype (distal CBD: OR 2.86, 1.09 to 7.52), nodal positivity (OR 2.46, 1.53 to 3.94), and presence of perineural invasion (OR 1.80, 1.02 to 3.18) were independently associated with DM. CONCLUSION Isolated LR is associated with better survival than DM and occurs most commonly along the superior mesenteric artery.

Abstract
Background The banana (Musa spp.) plant produces elongated and edible fruit. The two main parthenocarpic species of banana are Musa accuminata Colla and Musa balbisiana Colla. There are several health-promoting and disease-preventing effects of Musa accuminata Colla, which are attributed to its important bioactive compounds, including phenolics, carotenoids, biogenic amines, phytosterols, and volatile oils, found in the stem, fruit, pseudostem, leaf, flower, sap, inner trunk, root, and inner core. Banana possesses numerous pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, antiulcerogenic, hypolipidemic, hypoglycemic, leishmanicidal, anthelmintic, and anticancer properties. Various individual studies have reported anticancer effects of different components of the banana plant. However, according to our understanding, an up-to-date, systematic, and critical analysis of existing scientific results has not yet been carried out. Objectives This review aims to include a thorough assessment of banana and its phytochemicals for cancer prevention and therapy with a focus on cellular and molecular mechanisms of action. Methods The available research studies on anticancer activities of banana extracts, fractions and pure compounds were collected using various scholarly databases, such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus, based on predetermined selection criteria. Results Various banana extracts, fractions, and phytoconstituents, including ferulic acid, protocatechualdehyde, 2-pentanone, 4-epicyclomusalenone, cycloeucalenol acetate, and chlorogenic acid, have been shown to exhibit cancer preventative and anticancer activities in breast, cervical, colorectal, esophageal, hepatic, oral, prostate, and skin cancers. Bioactive components present in bananas have exhibited antiproliferative, cell cycle arrest-inducing, apoptotic, anti-adhesive, anti-invasive, and antiangiogenic effects through modulation of diverse, dysregulated oncogenic signaling pathways. Conclusion Based on the critical analysis of available literature, banana products and phytoconstituents show enormous potential for future development of drugs for cancer prevention and therapy. However, more mechanistic studies and well-designed clinical trials should be performed to establish its efficacy.

Abstract
γ-Secretase is an intramembrane protease sub-assembly which that sunders transmembrane proteins. They are involved in intramembrane proteolysis and also contribute to the regeneration of transmembrane protein. The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a typical γ-secretase substrate. These proteins are cleaved to produce 36-43 amyloid-beta (Aβ) amino acid peptides. Abnormal folding of these protein fragments leads to amyloid plaques; , frequently encountered in Alzheimer's disease. Some Type I class of integral membrane proteins are processed under the influence of γ-secretase, such as receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB4 and CD44 glycoprotein. γ-Secretase is being explored in a number of diseases as a clinical goal. Both γ-secretase inhibitors (GSIs) and γ-secretase modulators (GSMs) are being evaluated for this purpose. A large amount of γ-secretase inhibitors (GSIs) from peptide to non-peptide have been disclosed, offering several lead compounds for the design and optimization of γ-secretase targets, but most GSIs lacks sufficient potency, low penetration in the brain, and low selectiveness. γ-Secretase inhibitors are obliquely a regulator of a γ-secretase substrate Notch, and valuable in the understanding of the development of β-amyloid peptide (Aβ). These γ-secretase inhibitors block the Notch signaling pathway in autoimmune and lymphoproliferative disorders like autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and perhaps even in cancerous cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and cellular differentiation of human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC). The current review portrays the mechanism, regulation, and inhibition of γ-secretase in the management of a wide assortment of diseases.

Abstract
Camptothecin (CPT), a natural plant alkaloid, has indicated potent antitumor activities via targeting intracellular topoisomerase I. The promise that CPT holds in therapies is restricted through factors that include lactone ring instability and water insolubility, which limits the drug oral solubility and bioavailability in blood plasma. Novel strategies involving CPT pharmacological and low doses combined with nanoparticles have indicated potent anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo. This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive and critical evaluation of the anticancer ability of nano-CPT in various cancers as a novel and more efficient natural compound for drug development. Studies were identified through systematic searches of PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. Eligibility checks were performed based on predefined selection criteria. Eighty-two papers were included in this systematic review. There was strong evidence for the association between antitumor activity and CPT treatment. Furthermore, studies indicated that CPT nano-formulations have higher antitumor activity in comparison to free CPT, which results in enhanced efficacy for cancer treatment. The results of our study indicate that CPT nano-formulations are a potent candidate for cancer treatment and may provide further support for the clinical application of natural antitumor agents with passive targeting of tumors in the future.

Abstract
Although India is one of the major plastic-waste-generating countries, few studies have been conducted on microplastics (MPs) in freshwater systems that are key contributors to oceans. The current study explores MPs in sediments and water that were collected at five major cities across the Ganga River. MPs number and mass density range in sediment were found to be 17 to 36 items/kg dry weight (d.w.) and 10 to 45 mg/kg d.w. of sediments, respectively, while in the water sample, they were 380 to 684 items/1000 m3 and 143 to 340 mg/1000 m3, respectively. Overall, white color and film-shaped MPs were the major contributors in all samples. MPs of 2.5-5 mm size contributed to a greater number and mass as compared to other fractions. Polyethylene was found to be a widely distributed plastic-type reflecting its high usability.

Abstract
Introduction Predicting length of stay (LOS) is beneficial to patients and the health service. When a prolonged LOS is predicted, it gives the opportunity for focused therapies and allocation of resources to reduce this period. In emergency general surgery (EGS) there has been limited investigation of variables that may be important predictors of LOS. This study examines social characteristics alongside measures of severity of acute illness and co-morbidities in an adult EGS population to establish their contribution to LOS. Methods Data were collected prospectively from patients at admission including medical variables, demographics, and therapeutic requirements. The length of hospital admission was measured, and multiple regression analysis was used to identify variables which predicted the LOS. Results Data were collected from 105 patients. The regression model gave an R2 of 0.34, p = 0.0006. Barthal index (measure of independence in activities of daily living) was a significant predictor of LOS [logworth 1.649, p0.02243]. Housing status and Level of social support both correlated in one-way analysis with LOS. Conclusion There are non-surgical variables, measurable at admission which are of significant value in predicting LOS of EGS patients. This warrants further investigation through a larger study to better quantify the contributions of these variables, and establish potential early interventions to reduce the LOS. Barthal Index is a significant predictor of length of stay at admission for patients admitted under EGS. Unstable housing and a lack of social support independently correlate with a longer length of stay. It may be possible to intervene at admission to reduce the length of stay for patients admitted under EGS.

Abstract
Cancer is a prevalent cause of mortality around the world. Aberrated activation of Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathway promotes tumorigenesis. Natural agents, including phytochemicals, exhibit potent anticancer activities via various mechanisms. However, the therapeutic potency of phytoconstituents as inhibitors of JAK/STAT signaling against cancer has only come into focus in recent days. The current review highlights phytochemicals that can suppress the JAK/STAT pathway in order to impede cancer cell growth. Various databases, such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, SpringerLink, Scopus, and Google Scholar, were searched using relevant keywords. Once the authors were in agreement regarding the suitability of a study, a full-length form of the relevant article was obtained, and the information was gathered and cited. All the complete articles that were incorporated after the literature collection rejection criteria were applied were perused in-depth and material was extracted based on the importance, relevance, and advancement of the apprehending of the JAK/STAT pathway and their relation to phytochemicals. Based on the critical and comprehensive analysis of literature presented in this review, phytochemicals from diverse plant origins exert therapeutic and cancer preventive effects, at least in part, through regulation of the JAK/STAT pathway. Nevertheless, more preclinical and clinical research is necessary to completely comprehend the capability of modulating JAK/STAT signaling to achieve efficient cancer control and treatment.

Abstract
Solena amplexicaulis (Lam.) Gandhi (family- Cucurbitaceae), is used both in the Indian traditional system and folk medicine to treat several pathophysiological conditions and complex diseases including cancer. The screening of the phytochemicals of this plant (aerial parts) was performed to evaluate their cytotoxic effect against an in vitro cancer model utilising acute promyelocytic leukaemia HL60 cell line. Phytoconstituents were isolated by column chromatography and characterised. The purified protein was extracted, isolated and purified by using standard techniques. The cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay. Spectral analysis revealed the isolated phytochemicals to be Morin-3-O-xyloside (1) and Morin 3-O-glucoside (2). The purified protein (P1) was found to be monomeric having a molecular weight of 30.2 kDa. Watching over 24 h exposure, compound 1 (IC50 1.5 µmol/L), compound 2 (IC50 3.5 µmol/L), and P1 (2.67 µmol/L) exhibited significant cytotoxic activity.

Abstract
Alkaloids are important chemical compounds that serve as a rich source for drug discovery. Numerous alkaloids screened from medicinal plants and herbs showed antiproliferative and anticancer effects on wide category of cancers both in vitro and in vivo. Vinblastine, vinorelbine, vincristine, and vindesine have already been successfully developed as anticancer drugs. The available and up-to-date information on the ethnopharmacological uses in traditional medicine, phytochemistry, pharmacology and clinical utility of alkaloids were collected using various resources (PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and Springerlink). In this article, we provide a comprehensive and critical overview on naturally-occurring alkaloids with anticancer activities and highlight the molecular mechanisms of action of these secondary metabolites. Furthermore, this review also presents a summary of synthetic derivatives and pharmacological profiles useful to researchers for the therapeutic development of alkaloids. Based on the literature survey compiled in this review, alkaloids represent an important group of anticancer drugs of plant origin with enormous potential for future development of drugs for cancer therapy and management.

Abstract
Background: Melothria heterophylla (family: Cucurbitaceae), commonly known as kudari, is used in the Indian traditional medicine to treat various inflammation-associated diseases, such as asthma, arthritis and pain. However, the anti-inflammatory active components of this plant have not been identified yet. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of a compound, quercetin-3-methoxy-4'-glucosyl-7-glucoside, isolated from M. heterophylla. Methods: The anti-inflammatory activity was determined using carrageenan- and dextran-induced rat paw edema as well as cotton pellet-induced granuloma in rats, whereas the analgesic activity was analyzed using acetic acid-induced writhing, hot plate and tail flick response in mice. The test compound was orally administered at a dose of 5, 10 or 15 mg/kg. The cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1)- and COX-2-inhibitory capacity of the test compound was studied by enzyme immunosorbent assay. Results: Quercetin-3-methoxy-4'-glucosyl-7-glucoglucoside at 15 mg/kg exhibited a maximum inhibition of carrageenan-induced inflammation (50.3%, p < 0.05), dextran (52.8%, p < 0.05), and cotton pellets (41.4%, p < 0.05) compared to control animals. At the same dose, it showed a 73.1% inhibition (p < 0.05) of the pain threshold in acetic acid-induced writhing model. It also exhibited a considerable analgesic activity by prolonging the reaction time of the animals based on hot plate as well as tail flick response. The test compound was found to inhibit COX-1 (IC50 2.76 µg/mL) and more efficiently, COX-2 (IC50 1.99 µg/mL). Conclusions: Quercetin-3-methoxy-4'-glucosyl-7-glucoside possessed substantial analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities possibly due to inhibition of prostaglandin production, supporting the ethnomedicinal application of M. heterophylla to treat various inflammatory disorders.

thoroughly to achieve complete and efficient degradation within few minutes under ambient
condition. Heterogeneous nature of the catalyst allowed easy recovery by centrifugation and the catalyst
was recycled for five cycles with slightly reduced activity. Recovered catalyst was characterized
by ICP-AES and TEM and a slight decrease in the activity of the catalyst was attributed to the agglomeration
of the palladium nanoparticles.

Abstract
ObjectivesCranial lacunae on CT is equivalent to the plain X-ray ‘copper beating’ seen in craniosynostosis. Copper beating has not been shown to correlate to intracranial hypertension (IH). However it is a purely quantitative assessment – can qualitative measurement of CT cranial lacunae more accurately predict IH in children with craniosynostosis?DesignRetrospective cohort study.Subjects18 consecutive children with Crouzon and 17 with Apert syndrome were identified.MethodsPatients were divided into IH and non-IH groups defined on an intention to treat basis. 3D software was used to analyse% of calvarial lacunae.ResultsMean age at CT scan was 380 days (range 6–1778). Of the 35 children, 21 required surgery for raised ICP (17 posterior vault expansion 2 ventriculo-peritoneal shunts (VPS), 1 spring-assisted cranioplasty and 1 fronto-orbital advancement) at mean age of 512 days (range 38–1710). Of the 21 children with raised ICP, 15 had lacunae with mean lacuna/calvarium percentage of 3% (0%–28%). Of the 14 non-raised ICP children, 8 had lacunae with mean lacuna/calvarium percentage of 2% (0%–8%). T-test demonstrated no significant difference between the 2 groups. For both groups, parietal bones were most likely to show lacunae (IH 14/21, non-IH 9/14), followed by occipital (IH 8/21, non-IH 3/14), followed by frontal (IH 6/21, non-IH 2/14).ConclusionsResults suggest that cranial lacunae, measured using quantitative 3D methods, do not predict IH, in agreement with evidence from qualitative plain skull radiograph studies.

Abstract
We have synthesized Co3O4 nanoparticles having 40 nm average size, which are anchored on reduced graphene oxide. X-ray diffraction, FESEM, TEM and Raman spectroscopy are performed for the characterization. The temperature dependence of field cooled (FC) and zero field cooled (ZFC) magnetization curves exhibits antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition around ∼30 K, as observed for bulk Co3O4. The exchange bias effect is observed below ∼30 K. A significant change in the exchange bias effect is noted around ∼8 K, which is close to a spin-glass-like transition. The spin-glass-like phase has been confirmed by the memory effects observed by different experimental protocols. The possible origin of exchange bias is discussed in the manuscript.

Abstract
Maintaining a balanced Ultra Violet (UV) exposure level is vital for a healthy living as the excess of UV dose can lead to critical diseases such as skin cancer while the absence can cause vitamin D deficiency which has recently been linked to onset of cardiac abnormalities. Here, we propose a personalized cumulative UV dose (CUVD) estimation system for smartwatch and smartphone devices having the following novelty factors; (a) sensor orientation invariant measurement of UV exposure using a bootstrap resampling technique, (b) estimation of UV exposure using only light intensity (lux) sensor (c) optimal UV exposure dose estimation. Our proposed method will eliminate the need for a dedicated UV sensor thus widen the user base of the proposed solution, render it unobtrusive by eliminating the critical requirement of orienting the device in a direction facing the sun. The system is implemented on android mobile platform and validated on 1200 minutes of lux and UV index (UVI) data collected across several days covering morning to evening time frames. The result shows very impressive final UVI estimation accuracy. We believe our proposed solution will enable the future wearable and smartphone users to obtain a seamless personalized UV exposure dose across a day paving a way for simple yet very useful recommendations such as right skin protective measure for reducing risk factors of long term UV exposure related diseases like skin cancer and, cardiac abnormality.

Abstract
Phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT) is a rate-limiting enzyme essential for biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA), which in turn is responsible to regulate the secretion of exotoxins via type III secretion system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, causing severe health concerns ranging from nosocomial infections to respiratory failure. Acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) is a newly reported inhibitor of PPAT, believed to regulate the cellular levels of CoA and thereby the pathogenesis. Very little is known so far regarding the mechanistic details of AcCoA binding inside PPAT-binding cleft. Herein, we have used extensive umbrella sampling simulations to decipher mechanistic insight into the inhibitor accommodation inside the binding cavity. We found that R90 and D94 residues act like a gate near the binding cavity to accommodate and stabilize the incoming ligand. Mutational models concerning these residues also show considerable difference in AcCoA-binding thermodynamics. To substantiate our findings, we have solved the first crystal structure of apo-PPAT from P. aeruginosa, which also found to agree with the simulation results. Collectively, these results describe the mechanistic details of accommodation of inhibitor molecule inside PPAT-binding cavity and also offer valuable insight into regulating cellular levels of CoA/AcCoA and thus controlling the pathogenicity.

Abstract
The free energy of a hard-sphere fluid for which the average energy is trivial signifies how its entropy changes with packing. The packing η_{f} at which the free energy of the crystalline state becomes lower than that of the disordered fluid state marks the freezing point. For packing fractions η>η_{f} of the hard-sphere fluid, we use the modified weighted density functional approximation to identify metastable free energy minima intermediate between uniform fluid and crystalline states. The distribution of the sharply localized density profiles, i.e., the inhomogeneous density field ρ(x) characterizing the metastable state is primarily described by a pair function g_{s}(η/η_{0}). η_{0} is a structural parameter such that for η=η_{0} the pair function is identical to that for the Bernal random structure. The configurational entropy S_{c} of the metastable hard-sphere fluid is calculated by subtracting the corresponding vibrational entropy from the total entropy. The extrapolated S_{c} vanishes as η→η_{K} and η_{K} is in agreement with other works. The dependence of η_{K} on the structural parameter η_{0} is obtained.

Abstract
There are many possible complications associated with the concomitant use of herbs and medications, but limited information is available on herb-herb or herb-drug interactions. Paederia foetida Linn. (family: Rubiaceae) is utilized in the Indian traditional medicine. It exhibits various pharmacological properties, such as antidiabetic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, anthelmintic, antiulcer and antioxidant activities. The purpose of the present work was to investigate the inhibitory potential of the P. foetida ethanolic extract and its bioactive constituent lupeol on hepatic phase I drug metabolizing enzymes. The high performance thin layer chromatography was performed for qualitative analysis of various extracts of P. foetida. The effects of P. foetida extract on rat liver microsomes (RLMs) and individual cytochrome P-450 (CYP) isozymes (CYP3A4 and CYP2D6) were investigated using CYP450-carbon monoxide complex assay and fluorescence microplate assay, respectively. The ethanolic extract and lupeol (both at a concentration of 100 μg/mL) showed 45±3.3 and 44±3.8% inhibition of rat liver microsomes, respectively, which were significantly less than that of known inhibitor ketoconazole (74±5.4% inhibition at 100 μg/mL). The 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of ethanolic extract on CYP3A4 and CYP2D6 were 78±2.3 and 82±3.1 μg/mL, respectively, whereas its major bioactive constituent lupeol has IC50 values of 83±2.0 and 84±2.6 μg/mL for CYP3A4 and CYP2D6, respectively. The results were of lesser magnitude compared to known inhibitors, ketoconazole and quinidine, respectively. The current study revealed that P. foetida has less inhibitory potential in comparison to that of known inhibitors, ketoconazole and quinidine, on two major drug metabolizing isozymes, CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. Thus, the use of P. foetida as a complementary or alternative medicine may be safe in regard to herb-drug interactions.

Abstract
Glancing angle deposition technique has been carried out to synthesize TiO₂ nanoparticles over SiO(x) thin film. The samples were annealed at different temperatures 550 °C and 950 °C. The average grain sizes and surface RMS roughness have been increased from 9 nm, 0.62 nm (as deposited); 21 nm, 2.47 nm (550 °C annealed) to 37 nm, 4.2 nm (950 °C annealed). Fivefold maximum increase in optical absorption has been recorded for the 950 °C annealed sample as compared to that of the as grown. The absorption and photoluminescence peaks show the red shift with an increase in annealing temperature and grain sizes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to investigate phases of nanoparticles. The junction capacitance of the Au/TiO₂ NPs device was observed to decrease with an increase in frequency. A minimum change in junction capacitance of 1 pF was calculated for 950 °C annealed device for the variation of frequency from 500 Hz to 1 MHz. The results are used to simulate the capacitance as a function of frequency and voltage characteristic of TiO₂ NPs based device in different temperature. Simulated results are exceptionally close to experimental results. The TiO₂ NPs based device annealed at 950 °C possessed higher impedance and lower conductance among all three type of devices. The sample annealed at 950 °C showed the maximum capacitance (0.09 pF at 0 V) as well as charge (˜0.6 Coulomb at +8 V) retention compared to that of the 550 °C annealed and as deposited samples.

Abstract
CONTEXT Termitomyces clypeatus (Lyophyllaceae) is a filamentous edible mushroom, having ethnomedicinal uses. However, information about the antioxidant, anticancer and antitumour properties of this mushroom remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE The study examines the in vitro antioxidant, anticancer and in vivo antitumour activity of T. clypeatus. MATERIALS AND METHODS Antioxidant activity was evaluated with seven in vitro assays. Cytotoxicity of T. clypeatus was tested against a panel of cancer cells lines including U373MG, MDA-MB-468, HepG2, HL-60, A549, U937, OAW-42 and Y-79 using MTT assay. The antitumour activity of aqueous extract was evaluated against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) tumour model in Swiss albino mice. RESULTS HPLC analysis of aqueous extract revealed the presence of sugar entities. Termitomyces clypeatus showed excellent in vitro antioxidant activity. Termitomyces clypeatus was found cytotoxic against all cancer cells, among which it showed higher activity against U937 (IC50 25 ± 1.02 μg/mL). Treatment of EAC-bearing mice with varied doses of aqueous extract significantly (p < 0.01) reduced tumour volume, viable tumour cell count and improved haemoglobin content, RBC count, mean survival time, tumour inhibition and % increase life span. The enhanced antioxidant status in treated animals was evident from the decline in the levels of lipid peroxidation, increased levels of glutathione, catalase and superoxide dismutase. DISCUSSION The analyzed data indicate that the aqueous extract of T. clypeatus exhibits significant antitumour activity, which might be due to the antioxidant effects on EAC bearing hosts. CONCLUSION Termitomyces clypeatus possesses anticancer activity, valuable for application in food and drug products.

Abstract
CONTEXT Amaranthus spinosus Linn. (Amaranthaceae), commonly known as ''spiny pigweed'', is used in both Indian traditional system and folk medicine for treatment of infectious diseases for a long time in several traditional herbal medicinal preparations. A novel fatty acid [(14E, 18E, 22E, 26E)-methyl nonacosa-14, 18, 22, 26 tetraenoate] is the major metabolite present. OBJECTIVE This study examines the antibacterial potential of the fatty acid isolated from the A. spinosus against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three Gram-positive and seven Gram-negative bacterial strains were used for antibacterial assay. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the fatty acid was analysed by dilution method and the effects of the fatty acid on the bacterial membrane were studied in detail by flow cytometry analysis. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION All the studied bacterial strains were found to be inhibited at a concentration of 100 μg/mL. Staphylococcus aureus ML-59, Bacillus lycheniformis 10341, Shigella boydii 8, Vibrio cholera 811, Vibrio cholera 854 and Vibrio alginolyteus were susceptible and sensitive to the tested fatty acid with a MIC value of 25 μg/mL. It proved a full spectrum of antibacterial activity associated with alterations in the permeability of bacterial membranes. CONCLUSION The fatty acid from the A. spinosus possesses potent antibacterial action.
