[Experimental substantiation of medical device design for mechanical processing of adipose tissue].

Objective: To substantiate the medical device design for mechanical processing of adipose tissue.

Material And Methods: Enzymatic method using collagenase and mechanical method for obtaining the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) are compared. The authors emphasized the disadvantages of enzymatic method, such as high cost and duration of process.

Naphthoindole-2-carboxamides as a lipophilic chemotype of hetarene-anthraquinones potent against P-gp resistant tumor cells.

The acquisition of multidrug resistance (MDR) to chemotherapy is a major obstacle to successful cancer treatment. Aiming to improve the potency of anthraquinone-derived antitumor compounds against MDR cancer cells, we employed a rational design approach to develop new heteroarene-fused anthraquinones. Shifting the carboxamide group in the naphtho[2,3-f]indole scaffold from the 3-position to 2 increased the lipophilicity and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) binding of the derivatives, potentially enhancing their ability to circumvent P-gp-mediated MDR.

Hapten Synthesis, Antibody Generation, and Immunoassay Development for Linezolid Therapeutic Monitoring.

Linezolid (LNZ) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used for the treatment of severe Gram+ infections. Significant pharmacokinetic variability in different groups of patients requires therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to ensure optimal therapy. This article presents the first description of the development of immunoanalytical TDM systems for LNZ.

Evaluation of Minimum-to-Severe Global and Macrovesicular Steatosis in Human Liver Specimens: A Portable Ambient Light-Compatible Spectroscopic Probe.

Background And Aims: Hepatic steatosis (HS), particularly macrovesicular steatosis (MaS), influences transplant outcomes. Accurate assessment of MaS is crucial for graft selection. While traditional assessment methods have limitations, non-invasive spectroscopic techniques like Raman and reflectance spectroscopy offer promise.

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of thiazole-fused anthraquinones.

Heterocyclic derivatives of anthraquinone demonstrated a high potential for the development of new antitumor compounds. In this study, we report a scheme for the synthesis of thiazole-fused anthraquinones and the results of their antiproliferative activity. A convenient metal-free method for the thiolation of anthraquinone derivatives has been proposed for the preparation of the key intermediates.
