Complexation of curcumin with cyclodextrins adjusts its binding to plasma proteins.

Curcumin shows poor bioaccessibility due to its poor water solubility, which limits its application in aqueous formulations, and the weak binding to plasma proteins, which hinders its transportation to targeted sites through the systemic circulation. In this study, we explored the potential of a cyclodextrin derivative, succinic acid-β-cyclodextrin (SACD), to overcome these problems. Complexation of curcumin to SACD significantly increased its water-dispersibility and enhanced its binding to a model plasma protein: bovine serum albumin (BSA).

Haplotype Analysis of Chloroplast Genomes for Jujube Breeding.

Jujube (family Rhamnaceae) is an important economic fruit tree in China. In this study, we reported 26 chloroplast (cp) sequences of jujube using Illumina paired-end sequencing. The sequence length of cp genome was 161, 367-161, 849 bp, which was composed of a large single-copy region (89053-89437 bp) and a small single-copy region (19356-19362 bp) separated by a pair of reverse repeat regions (26478-26533 bp).

Screening of patients with tuberculosis for diabetes mellitus in China.

Objective: There is a high burden of both diabetes (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) in China, and this study aimed to assess feasibility and results of screening patients with TB for DM within the routine healthcare setting of six health facilities.

Method: Agreement on how to screen, monitor and record was reached in May 2011 at a stakeholders' meeting, and training was carried out for staff in the six facilities in July 2011. Implementation started in September 2011, and we report on 7 months of activities up to 31 March 2012.
