This study aimed to develop a semisolid vehicle for topical delivery of nanoencapsulated St. John’s wort (SJW) extract, rich in hyperforin (HP), and explore its wound-healing potential. Four nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) were obtained: blank HP-rich SJW extract-loaded (HP-NLC). They comprised glyceryl behenate (GB) as solid lipid, almond oil (AO), or borage (BO) representing the liquid along with polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate (PSMO) (SMO) surfactants. The dispersions...

This paper poses a major question regarding the choice of space group for scapolite mineral members. An artificial boundary is typically drawn between groups I4/m and P42/n when solving structures scapolites within marialite–meionite series. The authors debate if crystal structure in lower symmetries justified. here attributed to Si-Al ordering framework, it shown that interstitial framework cations anions have an accompanying role decision. Some answers on ranges limits distribution members...
