Evaluation of the Effects of systemic Therapy on Inflammatory Markers and Disease Severity in Patients With Pemphigus by Mehmet Enes Güner, Perihan Ozturk, Mine müjde Kuş

“…Results: Significant changes in inflammatory markers and correlation values were found in all patients. Conclusions: We think that neutrophil, platelet, NLR and PLR values can be used to monitor the response to treatment in pemphigus, since they show a significant decrease with treatment and are significantly positively correlated with PDAI, which indicates the severity of the disease. …”

Detection and Characterization of the Metabolites of Ciwujianoside B in Rats Based on UPLC-Fusion Lumos Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry by Wan-Ru Dong, Xue Gao, Chen-Xue Li, Yan Song, Jun-Hong Chai, Jun Liang

“…Finally, ciwujianoside B metabolism and hederasaponin B metabolism were compared, reaching the following conclusions: (i) more than 40 metabolites were identified in both, with the majority of metabolites identified in feces; (ii) the corresponding metabolic pathways in vivo were basically similar, including deglycosylation, acetylation, hydroxylation, glucuronidation, oxidation, and glycosylation; and (iii) deglycosylation was considered the main metabolic reaction, and its metabolites accounted for approximately 50% of all metabolites. Overall, this study provides a foundation for further research on the metabolism of triterpenoid saponins.…”

Thermal Performance of a Dimpled Tube Parabolic Trough Solar Collector (PTSC) with SiO2 Nanofluid by M. Arun, Debabrata Barik, K. P. Sridhar, Milon Selvam Dennison

“…The added advantage of the dimple texture tube design led to an increase in turbulence in the flow pattern, resulting 34.2% increase in the convective heat transfer efficiency compared with the plain tube. Among all experimental modules, SiO2/DI-H2O with a mass flow rate of 2.5 kg/min and 0.3% volume concentration gives overall optimized results in absolute energy absorption, gradient temperature, and efficiency of the solar water heater. …”
