Fundamentals of Nano-Textile Science provides a detailed overview
of advanced nano-textiles methods, techniques, and treatments along
with explanations of a wide range of applications. This book places
emphasis on nanotechnology-based textile enhancements that provide
high durability, better affinity, and more functionality in textile

In this present investigation anti oxidant activity of Achyranthes
aspera was evaluate to certify that this methanol extract may be
beneficial and may utilize for vivo assessment in different kind of
biological activity such as anti asthmatic, antimicrobial,
antiulcer activity because ulcer is formed due to stress, alcohol
consumption.
The aim of the present study was to enhance the dissolution and
bioavailability of aceclofenac by using a natural biodegradable
polymer, chitosan.Recently, natural polymers such as
polysaccharides and proteins have received much attention in the
pharmaceutical field owing to their good biocompatibility and
biodegradability. Among polysaccharides, chitosan has been
considered to be one of the most promising biopolymer for drug
delivery systems. The approach was to precipitate chitosan over
drug crystals in the presence of a salting out agent sodium
citrate, along with micronization of drug crystals.If this process
can be scaled-up to manufacturing level, this technique has the
potential to develop into an invaluable technology in future.
OBJECTIVE To carry out the preformulation studies. Preparation of
aceclofenac chitosan formulations. Physicochemical characterization
of the prepared formulations. To carry out in vitro drug release
studies. To assess stability of the developed formulation. To carry
out pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic studies in animals.
Wound is defined simply as the disruption of the cellular and
anatomic continuity of a tissue. Wound may be produced by physical,
chemical, thermal, microbial or immunological insult to the tissue.
Attention should be directed towards discovering an agent, which
will accelerate wound healing either when it is progressing
normally, when it is suppressed by various agents like
corticosteroids, anti neoplastics.or non- steroidal
anti-inflammatory agents. Medical treatment of wound includes
administration of drugs either locally (topical) or systemically
(oral or parenteral) in an attempt to aid wound repair
Sustained release of macromolecular drugs from polymeric matrices
has received increasing attention in recent years. Vaccines that
are required to be given in multiple divided doses are not
efficacious if only one dose is given without boosting. In order to
be effective, most vaccines require two or three booster doses
after primary immunization. Therefore, the conversion of multiple
dose vaccines into single dose vaccines may represent an important
advance. Among the various tentative for improving the
administration of proteins, the microencapsulation into
biodegradable polymers represents a practical and promising
approachControlled drug delivery technology using biodegradable
polymers as carriers represents one of the most rapidly advancing
area of science.

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing process for thebody and mind
with the use of fragrances. The basisof this therapy lies in the
essential oils containedin plant materials. These can be found in
leaves, flowers, roots, seeds, bark and resin. These oils arehighly
concentrated and when extracted, can either beused in a pure form
or diluted and blended with otheroils to produce the required
strength. Essential oils are medicinal and fragrantand travel
through the blood stream reacting withhormones and enzymes. When
the fragrance is inhaledthe nerve ends in the nose transmit
pleasurablesignals to the brain which reacts to the positivepower
of the fragrant aroma inducing pleasantmemories, restoring
emotional balance and encouragingrelaxation and energisation. Many
of these fragrantoils have antiseptic and antitoxic qualities
andoften act as an antidote to viral infections, inflammations,
aches and pains.
Progeria (also known as "Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome" and
"Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome") is an extremely rare, severe,
genetic condition wherein symptoms resembling aspects of aging are
manifested at an early age. The disease has a very low incidence
and occurs in one per eight million live births.Those born with
progeria typically live about thirteen years, although many have
been known to live into their late teens and early twenties and
rare individuals may even reach their forties. It is a genetic
condition that occurs as a new mutation and is not usually
inherited, although there is a uniquely inheritable form. This is
in contrast to another rare but similar premature aging syndrome,
dyskeratosis congenita (DKC), which is inheritable and will often
be expressed multiple times in a family line.
The aim of this study was to develop a depot formulation of
mirtazapine by w/o emulsification method using chitosan as
controlled release biodegradable polymer. Chitosan microspheres are
used to provide controlled release of mirtazapine and to improve
the bioavailability of degradable substances or enhance the uptake
of hydrophilic substances across the epithelial layers. The effect
of various parameters, such as stirring rate, drug to chitosan
ratio, chitosan concentration and glutaraldehyde concentration on
entrapment efficiency and release study was studied. Stirring speed
affects the size of microspheres, drug to chitosan ratio and
chitosan concentration affects the entrapment efficiency and
release study; glutaraldehyde concentration affects the release of
the drug molecule from the microspheres.
The aim of this study was to develop a lipid based formulation for
a poorly soluble drug belonging to BCS Class II. The intention of
the formulation design was to develop a "self eroding matrix
system" made of lipidic excipients which would release the drug
mainly by the mechanism of erosion. To attain such as system,
lipidic excipients like stearic acid and hydrogenated castor oil
were used as matrix formers and surfactants like sodium lauryl
sulphate and gelucire 44/14 were used as matrix modifiers. The
formulations prepared were subjected to physicochemical and in
vitro dissolution and erosion studies.
The aim of the work is to evaluate the transdermal potential of
novel vesicular carrier, ethosomes, bearing aceclofenac,
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs having limited transdermal
permeation. Aceclofenac loaded ethosomal carriers were prepared,
optimized and characterized for vesicular shape and surface
morphology, scanning electronic microscopy, vesicular size,
entrapment efficiency, stability, in- vitro release study.The
formulation having 3% phospholipids content and 40% ethanol showing
the grater entrapment and optimal average vesicle size of
formulation was determine by Malvern Zetamaster & found 0.696 m
and zeta potential of formulation was -6.74 mV. The vesicular
suspension was kept in sealed vials (10ml) at 4 2 C and at room
temperature for 45 days no change is shown in the entrapment
efficiency. The optimized ethosomal formulation showed transdermal
flux (226.1 g/cm /hr) for ethanolic drug solution which is grater
then that of isopropyl alcohol solution (159.0 g/cm /hr). The
result advocates the potential of ethosome formulation to treat
rheumatic disease where facilitated penetration of the drug into
muscle and synovial fluid is desirable.
