Gallic acid and its derivatives are potential therapeutic agents for treating various oxidative stress mediated disorders. In the present study, we investigated the hepatoprotective effects of newly synthesized conjugated trimethylgallic acid (TMGA) esters against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Animals were pre-treated with TMGA esters at their respective doses for ...

Soft robotics may provide many advantages compared to traditional robotics approaches based on rigid materials, such as intrinsically safe physical human-robot interaction, efficient/stable locomotion, adaptive morphology, etc. The objective of this study is to develop a compliant structural actuator for soft a soft robot using dielectric elastomer minimum energy structures (DEMES). DEMES consi...

We propose a novel zero-shot multi-frame image restoration method for removing unwanted obstruction elements (such as rains, snow, and moire patterns) that vary in successive frames. It has three stages: transformer pre-training, restoration, hard patch refinement. Using the pre-trained transformers, our model is able to tell motion difference between true information obstructing elements. For ...

The relationship between acetaminophen (APAP) reactive metabolite formation, nitrotyrosine (NT) production, and cytokine elevation in APAP toxicity was investigated. Mice were dosed with 300 mg/kg of APAP and sacrificed at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 h. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was elevated by 4 h. The relative amount of NT correlated with toxicity and was localized in the necrotic cells. ...
