Identification and Characterization of Hormonal Response in Depression Induced Mice Models /

By Ilyas, Noor-Ul-Ain. . 55p. , Background: Early life stress is correlated with escalated peril for anxiety, mood, substance, impulse control and depressive disorders. Such disorders might spring from chemical imbalance in brain. A well-grounded mouse prototype of childhood adversity contributing to the everlasting behavioral changes in an individual would help understand the mechanism underlying these adverse effects. Maternal deprivation is frequently used paradigm of early neglect. Natriuretic peptides especially Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) released from Atrial myocytes have significant anxiolytic role corroborated by certain animal and human trails. The concentration of ANP has been found to be elevated by Levothyroxine (LT4) which treats the adverse symptoms of anxiety and depression. Method and Results: In an attempt to contrive the paradigm of childhood adversity in mouse models with everlasting impacts on behavior of balb/c mice, maternal separation model followed by early weaning model were developed and behavioral tests were performed 60 days following maternal separation followed by early weaning (MSEW) paradigm for the validation of model. The experimental and control groups were further divided into 3 groups: MSEW group with drug administration, MSEW group with no drug administration and control group with no MSEW and no drug administration. Following a 7 days administration of LT4 at the concentration of 15 micrograms per mice to MSEW group and one of the control groups, decline in anxiety level in mice subjected to MSEW was observed in comparison to the MSEW group that was not administered LT4. These findings were validated by performing anxiety related paradigms after drug injection and the difference in the behavior was observed accordingly which suggested decrease in behavioral despair and anxiety related symptoms in mice. Conclusion: Our findings elucidate that maternal separation model followed by early weaning contributes as a substantial paradigm to scrutinize the intricate behavioral anomalies in organisms with early life adversity history and by increasing the concentration of ANP by injection of LT4 cures the anxiety-related symptoms and provides a n apprehension for a futuristic therapeutic plan of actions. 30cm.

Analyzing and Decoding Natural Reach & Grasp Action Using Convolutional Neural Network /

By Nazir, Abida . . 44p. , Reaching and Grasping is most signi cant component of human life.Translation of EEG in the form of upper limb movement is of great importance for realization of natural neuroprosthesis control and restoration of hand movements of patients with motor disorders. Patients su ering from spinal cord injury (SCI)problems have lost most of voluntary motor control functions. Such type of loss can be cured using movement related cortical potentials (MRCPS) analysis. Brain computer interface with limb neuro-prosthesis is considered as a solution to such problems. This study anlyzes EEG signals in relation with natural reach and grasp actions. EEG signals have movement related cortical potentials (MRCPS) which can be used to decode upper limb movements. This experiment was performed in Graz University of Technology Austria and they o ered free access dataset for further exploration.Total 45 subjects were involved in this study, 15 subjects with every type of electrode:gel,water and dry performed the experiment. All subjects accomplished self-initiated 80 reach and grasp actions toward a spoon within the jar (lateral grasp) and toward an empty glass (palmar grasp).EEG signals are recorded using three types of electrodes: water based, Gel based and Dry electrodes. In this study signals are classi ed using Deep learning technique i.e Convulotional Neural Networks. For analysis, EEG signals were preprocessed using various lteration techniques. After ltration data is fed into classi er for classi cation of signals. Data is divided into test set and training set. Grand average peak accuracy calculated on unseen test data resulted in 54.2% classi cation accuracy i.e Gel based accuracy approached 56.8.4%, water based 52.7% and dry based 51.8%. 30cm.

pH-Responsive Aloe Vera Hydrogels Loaded with Imatinib for Targeting Drug Resistance in Cancer /

By Hasan Khan ,Aroob. . 77p. ; , Cancer and its reoccurrence have become a major health problem affecting the quality of life for millions of individuals every year. The currently available strategies, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy have non-specific targets, lower solubility, and severe side effects. Hydrogels are crosslinked polymeric networks with higher swelling properties, degradation, biocompatibility, and flexibility which can be manipulated based on the desired application. Incorporating AV can elevate the antioxidant, and anticancer properties of the hydrogel based drug delivery system (DDS) also warranting enhanced swelling, drug release, and environmental degradability of the system. Acrylic acid (AA) induces pH-responsive properties in the hydrogels. The PVA/SA and PVA/SA/AV hydrogels were synthesized with a pH responsive behavior and investigated at different pH conditions. The unloaded and loaded PVA/SA and PVA/SA/AV hydrogels with imatinib (IM) were characterized for their structural morphology, physiochemical characteristics, and antioxidant and anticancer activity. The IM loaded PVA/SA/AV hydrogels showed increased pore size in SEM micrographs, enhanced swelling abilities up to 400%, 100% degradation, 56% encapsulation efficiency, and drug release profiles of up to 94% in 24 h, compared to PVA/SA hydrogels loaded with IM. Dpph radical scavenging activity was also observed to be enhanced in PVA/SA/AV hydrogels. Finally, the cell viability analysis in resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines exhibited 41% cell viability of the PVA/SA/AV hydrogels loaded with IM implying a promising potential of AV to be incorporated in a hydrogel based drug delivery system for targeting drug resistance in cancer. 30cm..

Design and Development of an Air-Driven Posture Correction Device /

By Haris, Muhammad. . 129p. , The prevalence of postural kyphosis continues to rise across all demographics because of inactive lifestyles and extended screen time usage which has established itself as a major musculoskeletal issue. The current solutions including static braces and feedback-only wearables, fail to provide adaptability and comfort with active correction features. This restricts their ability to achieve longterm success and user adherence. The research introduces a new wearable air-driven posture correction device which combines real-time sensing with pneumatic actuation to treat flexible thoracic kyphosis. The proposed wearable tech device focuses on posture correction by integrating multiple features into one compact device. The system includes an MPU-6050 inertial measurement unit which tracks the user’s trunk in real time in six degrees of freedom. A microcontroller processes this data and determines if changes to posture exceed a calibrated angular threshold. If so, the system triggers a pneumatic actuation module within an orthopedic vest that has been altered for this purpose. This module includes butyl rubber chambers which are constrained but designed to inflate and mechanically stress the upper back by simulating the action of scapular retractor muscles. To measure the corrective force, force-sensitive resistors (FSRs) are placed where the actuators and the body interface. A closed-loop control system dynamically adaptive and responsive to real time conditions with sensor fusion guarantees timely action and feedback. The prototype was tested by means of both objective and subjective methods, with a full-scale experimental protocol involving 24 healthy participants. Data collected in this study included realtime pitch angle vs actuator force, and subjective user feedback through standardized ergonomic surveys such as the Borg CR10 scale, Corlett & Bishop discomfort map, and the System Usability Scale (SUS). Results indicate that the system successfully minimized thoracic pitch deviation while maintaining safe tactile force levels, achieving average corrective pressures of 7–12 kPa, resulting in notable postural enhancement. The system reliably attained enhancements in posture, surpassing 85% in 22 out of 24 participants. This work contributes a fully automated, textile-integrated pneumatic solution for posture correction, combining real-time sensing, adaptive actuation, and ergonomic design. The proposed xix system offers a replicable framework for intelligent musculoskeletal rehabilitation wearables and lays the groundwork for future closed-loop personalization strategies in postural health technologies. 30cm..

Advanced nanocarriers for skin diseases /

By Khan, Rida Khalid. . 68p. , The development and evaluation of an advanced nanocarrier hydrogel system designed to address the major barriers in diabetic wound healing, specifically targeting chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, bacterial infection, and impaired angiogenesis. This therapeutic system integrates cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO₂), metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and a chitosan-gelatin hydrogel platform to create a multifunctional wound dressing. CeO₂ nanoparticles provide strong antioxidant and antibacterial activity, MOFs enable controlled drug release and add antimicrobial properties, while the chitosan-gelatin hydrogel ensures biocompatibility, moisture retention, and accelerated tissue repair. Comprehensive characterization, including Raman spectroscopy, FTIR, UV-Vis, EDX analysis, and optical microscopy, confirmed successful synthesis, structural integrity, and the presence of desired functional groups. Biological assays demonstrated superior antibacterial and antibiofilm performance of the CeZn-Gel composite against E. coli and S. aureus, surpassing individual system components and controls. The integrated approach not only enhances wound healing outcomes but also reduces infection and inflammation, with significant potential for improving patient quality of life in chronic wound care. Future work will focus on optimizing formulation and advancing toward clinical testing for broader therapeutic impact. 30cm.
