Review of Recent Patents and Developments in Skeletal Muscle Regeneration.
Authors: Wang J, Wang GQ, Wang H, Chen QM, Burczynski FJ Abstract Skeletal muscle is a highly-specialized tissue that is capable of contractile function and able to withstand and adapt to daily mechanical and physiological stress. Musculoskeletal disorders, including muscular dystrophies, result in chronic pain and disability, reduced quality of life, burden on family, and increased healthcare costs. Although several mechanisms have been identified for muscle injury and regeneration, mechanisms of these diseases are poorly understood, and targeted and effective pharmacologic treatment(s) not available. Mor...

Montelukast Sodium Formulation containing Green Tea Extract to Reduce the Oxidative Stress in Guinea Pig model of Chronic Allergic Asthma.
CONCLUSION: It is contemplated that, use of GTE as an adjuvant to anti leukotriene drug played a significant role in asthma management by reducing oxidant injury. Since, studies in animals do not directly translate to human biology, further multi-control studies with better sampled patient population and more number of patients is needed.

Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery System of Simvastatin: Formulation Development, Optimization by Box- Behnken Design, In-Vitro and In-Situ Single-Pass Intestinal Perfusion (SPIP) Studies.
CONCLUSION: SIM SEDDS were successfully developed and evaluated for in-vitro & in-vivo parameters. All the evaluated parameters were in tolerable limits. In vitro release studies from optimized formulation, OF1, exhibited maximum drug release when compared to SIM API and marketed preparation. Moreover, the predicted value of fraction absorbed (Fa) in humans by in-situ SPIP method were also in agreement with in-vitro dissolution studies thus, confirming SEDDS as a suitable drug delivery system for solubility enhancement of SIM.

Antibacterial and in vitro growth inhibition study of struvite urinary stones using Oxalis corniculata Linn. leaf extract and its biofabricated silver nanoparticles.
CONCLUSION: The present work confirms the inhibitory activity of the aqueous extract of edible O. corniculata and its biofabricated silver nanoparticles against urinary tract infection (UTI) causing bacteria and urolithiasis. Therefore, the consumption of O. corniculata in our daily diet may reduce the risk of UTI and urolithiasis.

Clinical application of polysialylated therapeutic proteins.
Authors: Meng H, Lockshin C, Jain S, Shaligram U, Martinez J, Genkin D, Hill DB, Ehre C, Clark D, Hoppe H Abstract While protein therapeutics are invaluable in managing numerous diseases, many require frequent injections to maintain therapeutically effective concentrations, due to their short half-life in circulation. PolyXen™, a platform technology employing biodegradable, non-immunogenic and hydrophilic polysialic acids (PSA) for drug delivery, is being utilized to overcome such limitations, thereby enabling the clinical utility of a broad range of protein therapeutics. Here, we report the recent progr...

Comparative Study on Photodynamic Activation of Ortho-Toluidine Blue and Methylene Blue Loaded Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Against Resistant Microorganisms.
CONCLUSION: MB and O-TB adsorbed on APTES functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles were capable of efficiently inactivating E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus bacteria upon exposure to red light (620± 20nm wavelength) at a much lower concentration. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles played an important role in aPDT due to its high surface area and porous structure. Also APTES functionalization resulted in the pore expansion of MSN, thereby increasing the loading capacity of the photosensitizer on MSN. From the results obtained it can be concluded that O-TB loaded MSN showed higher activity against all three gram negativ...
