“…20 Several studies revealed that CCl4 treatment increased levels of AST, ALT, ALP and bilirubin. [21][22][23][24][25][26] Similarly, in present study there was significant rise of ALT, AST, ALP and bilirubin levels in the CCl4 treated groups signifying the induced liver injury. The co-treatment of CCl4 with silymarin, and also with AEMP reduced liver enzymes and bilirubin (Table 1 and 2).…”

Background: In absence of reliable hepatoprotective drug in modern medicine, the traditional herbal medicines have been emphasized. Present study was designed to assess hepatoprotective effect of aqueous extract of Melothria perpusilla (AEMP) against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) induced liver injury.Methods: Five groups of animals with 6 rats in each were treated for 7 days. Group I received 1% gum acacia in distilled water (1 ml/200 g p.o.) daily. Group II, III, IV and V received CCl4 in liquid paraffin (1 ml/kg s.c.) on day 2, 4 and 6. Group III, IV and V were treated respectively with silymarin (100 mg/kg p.o.), AEMP- 200 and 400 mg/kg p.o. daily. On day 8, liver injury was assessed by measuring serum ALT, AST, ALP and bilirubin.Results: ALT, AST, ALP and bilirubin were significantly reduced in groups receiving both CCl4 and AEMP when compared with CCl4 treated group.Conclusions: AEMP produced hepatoprotective effect against CCl4 induced liver injury.

“…Ectoine treatment of BSA contributes to inhibition of oxidative damage in proteins and lipids in stress conditions, which might be attributed to the formation of a comparatively more stable product (Cheng et al . ). The kosmotropic nature of ectoine decreasing the solubility of peptide back bone and strengthens the intramolecular hydrogen bonding or secondary structures thereby offering significant protection to proteins.…”

“…Freeze desalination crystallizes water to form ice and separates salts from the ice; it is often both energetically and entropically unfavorable and thus less cost-effective with large irreversibilities [70,[154][155][156][157]. However, in low temperature regions, freezing desalination eliminates the need for collecting and storing heat, where lack thereof is desirable [157][158][159][160]. High-temperature desalination suffers from two major risks: corrosion and scaling [161][162][163][164].…”

Most notable emerging water desalination technologies and related publications, as examined by the authors, investigate opportunities to increase energy efficiency of the process. In this paper, the authors reason that improving energy efficiency is only one route to produce more cost-effective potable water with fewer emissions. In fact, the grade of energy that is used to desalinate water plays an equally important role in its economic viability and overall emission reduction. This paper provides a critical review of desalination strategies with emphasis on means of using low-grade energy rather than solely focusing on reaching the thermodynamic energy limit. Herein, it is argued that large-scale commercial desalination technologies have by-and-large reached their engineering potential. They are now mostly limited by the fundamental process design rather than process optimization, which has very limited room for improvement without foundational change to the process itself. The conventional approach toward more energy efficient water desalination is to shift from thermal technologies to reverse osmosis (RO). However, RO suffers from three fundamental issues: (1) it is very sensitive to high-salinity water, (2) it is not suitable for zero liquid discharge and is therefore environmentally challenging, and (3) it is not compatible with low-grade energy. From extensive research and review of existing commercial and lab-scale technologies, the authors propose that a fundamental shift is needed to make water desalination more affordable and economical. Future directions may include novel ideas such as taking advantage of energy localization, surficial/interfacial evaporation, and capillary action. Here, some emerging technologies are discussed along with the viability of incorporating low-grade energy and its economic consequences. Finally, a new process is discussed and characterized for water desalination driven by capillary action. The latter has great significance for using low-grade energy and its substantial potential to generate salinity/blue energy.
