The machine learning model provides more personalized and reliable prognostic information of tongue cancer than the nomogram. However, the level of transparency offered by the nomogram in estimating patients' outcomes seems more confident and strengthened the principle of shared decision making between the patient and clinician. Therefore, a combination of a nomogram - machine learning (NomoML) predictive model may help to improve care, provides information to patients, and facilitates the clinicians in making tongue cancer management-related decisions.Low-environmental-impact emulsion systems for transdermal drug delivery in topical treatment have gained increasing interest. However, low stability and adverse systemic side effects severely decrease their efficiency. This study proposed a stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion loaded with bifonazole (BFZ) as a lipophilic drug stabilized by poly(2-isopropoxy-2-oxo-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane)-modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNC-g-PIPP) as vehicles for topical delivery of lipophilic drugs. We fully characterized stability, BFZ-loaded particle-stabilized emulsions (PEs) for morphology, droplet size, and its distribution. In addition, we evaluated the in vitro drug-releasing capacity and in vitro skin permeation of BFZ in a porcine skin animal model using a side-bi-side® diffusion cell. An O/W BFZ-loaded emulsion stabilized with CNC-g-PIPP particles (BFZ-loaded CP-PE) with a small mean droplet size of 2.54 ± 1.39 μm was developed and was stable for > = 15 days without a significant change in droplet size. The BFZ-loading efficiency in PEs was 83.1 %. BFZ was slowly released over an extended period, and the releasing ratio from BFZ-loaded CP-PE was only 17 % after 48 h. The BFZ-loaded CP-PE showed a ∼4.4-fold increase in BFZ permeation and penetration compared to a conventional surfactant-stabilized emulsion and BFZ control solution. Fluorescence-labeling studies showed that BFZ-loaded CP-PE could well penetrate skin layers from the stratum corneum (SC) to the dermis.

Therefore, the proposed CP-PE shows great potential as a transdermal drug carrier for enhancing lipophilic drug permeation.Curcumin (C) is a natural antioxidant which has many beneficial effects. However, poor bioavailability and less water solubility render it unsuitable as an anti-cancer drug. Herein, curcumin was delivered through Mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN) based drug delivery system to enhance its anticancer efficacy. Targeted delivery of curcumin in cancer cells was also achieved by conjugating hyaluronic acid (HA) on the surface of MSN. HA showed its targeting ability through the binding with CD-44 receptors in cancer cells. The synthesis of MSN-HA-C was verified by used several characterization techniques like TEM, SEM, XRD and DLS. MSN-HA-C showed diameter of ∼ 75 nm with negatively charged surface and drug loading content of 14.76 %. The synthesized nanohybrid showed MDA-MB-231 cell death by the induction of ROS, cell cycle arrest and modulation of NF-κB and Bax mediated apoptotic pathway. The nanohybrid also effectually decreased tumor volume in tumor-bearing mice compared with free C due to the increased bioavailability and higher cellular uptake of C in tumor tissue. Overall, the study offered that MSN-HA-C has increased anticancer efficacy than that of free curcumin.In this study, we introduced a new strategy to design interface imprinted polymers for a novel aspect of molecular imprinting technique, utilization of sacrificial metal oxide particles. In the first step, bovine hemoglobin (BHb) was adsorbed on zinc oxide (ZnO) particles, which were then used to synthesize polyacrylic acid-based molecular imprinting membrane by bulk polymerization in the presence of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross-linking agent. After polymerization terminated, BHb-ZnO particles were removed to leave effective imprint sites onto the bulk polymeric network which is responsible for the formation of template orientation. The characterization of membranes was investigated by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy (RS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface area measurements (BET analyses) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The interface molecularly imprinted membranes (iMIMs) have a relatively high specific rebinding capacity of 65.98 mg/g and excellent selectivity towards BHb with a separation factor of 6.78. The equilibrium adsorption isotherms fitted well to Langmuir isotherms (R2 = 0.9944) and the value of adsorption capability (Qmax) and equilibrium constant (b) were estimated to be 73.53 mg/g and 1.36 mg/mL for the iMIM, respectively. The kinetics of adsorption fitted best to pseudo-second order (R2 = 0.9912). The ZnO particles were used not only to ensure the preservation of the imprint cavities in the polymer network but also to lead to high template removal and better rebinding kinetics. This novel design with multiple recognition sites is quite simple and suitable for the separation of biomacromolecules.We evaluate the effect of cationic nanocapsules containing dihydromyricetin (DMY) flavonoid for safe topical use in photoprotection against UV-induced DNA damage. The stability was investigated for feasibility to produce hydrogels containing cationic nanocapsules of the flavonoid DMY (NC-DMY) for 90 days under three different storage conditions (4 ± 2 °C, 25 ± 2 °C, and 40 ± 2 °C), as well as evaluation of skin permeation and its cytotoxicity in skin cell lines. The physicochemical and rheological characteristics were maintained during the analysis period under the different aforementioned conditions. However, at 25 °C and 40 °C, the formulations indicated yellowish coloration and DMY content reduction. Therefore, the ideal storage condition of 4 °C was adopted. DMY remained in the stratum corneum and the uppermost layers of the skin. Regarding safety, all formulations demonstrated to be safe for topical application. NC-DMY exhibited a 50% Solar Protection Factor (SPF-DNA) against DNA damage caused by UVB radiation and demonstrated 99.
