Swachhata Pakhwada

Mahatma Gandhi dreamed not only of free India but also of

clean and developed India. Mahatma Gandhi secured

freedom for Mother India, so now it is our endeavor to serve

Mother India by keeping the country neat and clean. To keep

the country clean I take this pledge that I will remain

committed towards cleanliness and devote around 100 hours

per year that is just two hours per week to conduct

cleanliness drive voluntarily. I will neither litter nor let others

litter. I will initiate the cleanliness drive from myself, my

family, my locality, my village and my work place. I believe that the countries of the world that appear

clean because their citizens don't indulge in littering nor do they allow it to happen. With this firm

belief, I will propagate the message of Swachh Bharat Mission in villages and towns. I will encourage

100 other persons to take this pledge which i am taking today.

I will endeavor to make them devote their 100 hours for cleanliness. I am confident that every step I

take towards cleanliness will help in making my country clean. NIPER-Ahmedabad celebrated

"Swachhata Pakhwada" between 1st to 15th September 2019. The program was inaugurated by a

pledge for cleanliness under leadership of Dr. Kiran Kalia. The pledge involved maintaining cleanliness

and taking its responsibility individually. The office started the initiative by shredding of old files /

correspondences/cleaning of junk packing material of stores etc. All computer were cleaned for e-

waste and removal of Plastics, wastage etc were carried out.

(2019) Tumor Microenvironment Targeted Nanotherapeutics for Cancer Therapy and Diagnosis: A review, Acta Biomaterialia. doi.org/10.1016/j.actbio.2019.09.009 (I.F. 6.638) Abstract: - Recent findings suggest that the cellular and extracellular materials surrounding the cancerous cells from an atypical tumor microenvironment (TM) play a pivotal role in the process of tumor initiation

and progression. TM comprises an intricate system involving diverse cell types including endothelial cells, pericytes, smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, various inflammatory cells, dendritic cells, and cancer stem cells (CSCs). The TM-forming cells dynamically interact with the cancerous cells through various signaling mechanisms and pathways. The existence of this dynamic cellular communication is responsible for creating an environment suitable for sustaining a reasonably high cellular proliferation. Presently, researchers are showing interest to use these TM conditions to mediate effective targeting measures for cancer therapy. The use of nanotherapeutics-based combination therapy; stimuli-responsive nanotherapeutics targeting acidic pH, hypoxic environment; and nanoparticle-induced hyperthermia are some of the approaches that are under intense investigation for cancer therapy.

Present study demarcates augmented cartilage regeneration from the praxis of the smart material intervention that denotes the method of utilized piezoelectric mechanism. The smart

https://doi.org/10.1021/acsabm.9b00667


piezoelectric nanohybrid is developed from poly-(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and barium titanate (BaTiO3). Further, the electrospinning technique is adopted for the scaffolding to mimic the structure of natural cartilage. The scaffold with 20% BaTiO3 shows enhanced mechanical properties and piezoelectric coefficient (1.4 pC/N) similar to native tissue. Interestingly, the corona poled (electrically polarized) scaffolds demonstrated better cellular activity than unpoled. Human mesenchymal stem cell-derived chondrocytes are utilized for in-vitro studies.

The biggest hurdle in designing effective brain drug delivery systems is offered by the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is highly impermeable to many drugs. Albumin nanoparticles (NP) have gained attention due to their multiple ligand binding sites and long circulatory half-life. Citicoline (CIT) is reported to enhance the acetylcholine secretion in the brain and also helps in membrane repair and regeneration. However, the poor BBB permeation of CIT results in lower levels of CIT in the brain. This demands the development of a suitable delivery platform to completely realize the therapeutic benefit of CIT in stroke therapy. This investigation reports the synthesis and characterization of second generation (2.0 G) dendrimer Amplified Albumin (dAA) biopolymer by FTIR, MALDI-TOF, and surface charge (mV). Further, the synthesized biopolymer has been utilized to develop a CIT nanoformulation using a commercially translatable one-pot process.

Methods: For ME preparation,

oil, surfactant and cosurfactant were screened based on solubility of FA. Pseudoternary phase diagrams were constructed to determine their ratios. The developed MEs were characterised for their physicochemical properties like size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and stability etc. They were evaluated for ex vivo permeation and irritation. In vivo pharmacokinetic studies were performed on Sprague dawley rats.

Brain edema is a significant factor for increased intracranial pressure (ICP), which ultimately causes functional disability and death. The decompressive craniotomy (DC) is a surgical procedure widely used for treating increased ICP following TBI. The life-saving craniotomy itself results in brain injury. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of agomelatine against craniotomy induced brain injury. The craniotomy was performed by a variable speed micro-motor dental driller of 0.8 mm drill bit.

Currently, there is no licensed vaccine for prophylaxis of the infection or an effective drug

regimen for treatment. The virus genome codes for three structural and seven non-structural proteins. Envelope protein is required for the attachment and binding of the virus to the host cells, viral replication and hence, it can act as a good antiviral target. Method: We intend to evaluate the antiviral activity of compounds from both natural and synthetic sources by using tools of bioinformatics and computational biology. The favourable sites for drug binding, ligand interaction were analysed by various modules of Schrodinger software (2016-1).
