Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSustainable management of walnut shell (WS) for the extraction of cellulose and preparation of cellulose-based biosorbents of iodine was carried out as a new approach to simultaneously solve the environmental challenge of agricultural solid waste and iodine-contaminated water. A rapid recyclable nitric acid treatment and NaOH-H2O2 alkaline-peroxide treatment of WS (33 % cellulose) extracted pure microcrystalline (Cac) and impure cellulose (Cal) with a 21.70 % and 47.37 % isolation yield, respectively.

The antihyperlipidemic effect of a combined supplement of standardized dry extracts of amla (Emblica officinalis), walnut (Juglans regia), olive (Olea europaea) and red yeast rice (Monascus purpureus) powder: Reduction in circulatory low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and remnant cholesterol (RC) levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, a combined supplementation of amla, walnut, and olive extracts, and RYR powder exerts a significant antihyperlipidemic effect, leading to a decrease in circulatory LDL-C and RC levels in patients with hypercholesterolemia. The supplementation bears excellent safety and tolerability, and is rated as satisfactory and pursuable, even among patients with statin intolerance.Clinical Trial Registration: clinicaltrials.gov; identifier number: NCT06002893 (Source: Frontiers in Pharmacology)

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 7346: Bioassay-Guided Assessment of Antioxidative, Anti-Inflammatory and Antimicrobial Activities of Extracts from Medicinal Plants via High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography
Morton
Natural products and their analogues have contributed significantly to treatment options, especially for anti-inflammatory and infectious diseases. Thus, the primary objective of this work was to compare the bioactivity profiles of selected medicinal plants that are historically used in folk medicine to treat inflammation and infections in the body. Chemical HPTLC fingerprinting was used to assess antioxidant, phenolic and flavonoid content, while bioassay-guided HPTLC was used to detect compounds with the highest antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities. The results of this study showed that green tea le...
