A highly sensitive antibody detection strategy is presented that leverages the rational spatial arrangement of antigens at the sensing interface. Specifically, we employed rigid benzene ring-based coupling agents, carefully controlling their density and orientation on the biosensing interface to establish a well-defined spatial arrangement of receptor molecules, thereby enhancing antibody binding efficiency. Additionally, we utilized Au-decorated MoS nanosheets as an effective electrode modification, which also function as contact points for regulating the coupling agents.

Herein, a single-centred, randomized, open, single-dose, two-preparation, two-cycle, two-sequence, double-crossover trial with a 7-day washout was conducted to investigate the pharmacokinetics, bioequivalence and safety of cefdinir dispersible tablets and the reference formulation of cefdinir capsules in healthy Chinese volunteers. Fifty-six healthy subjects were recruited and randomly assigned to the fasting and fed groups.

As rare disease treatments evolve, current package inserts often need to meet the clinical requirements for treating such conditions, frequently resulting in off-label drug use. This consensus is derived from discussions between Guangdong Pharmaceutical Association Hematologic Rare Diseases Group experts.

Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) still faces great challenges due to uncontrollable inflammation disorders, complicated causes of occurrence, and high mortality. Small-activating RNA (saRNA) has emerged as a novel and powerful gene-activating tool that may be useful in the treatment of ALI/ARDS. However, effective saRNA therapy is still challenged by the lack of effective and safe gene delivery vehicles.

Atenolol, a cardioselective β1-blocker, exhibits efficacy in treating cardiovascular diseases. We conducted a single-center, randomized, open, single-dose, 2-preparation, 2-cycle, 2-sequence, double-crossover trial with a 7-day washout period to investigate the pharmacokinetics, bioequivalence (BE), and safety of test and reference atenolol tablets (25 mg) in healthy Chinese volunteers. Forty-eight healthy participants were randomized into the fasting and fed arms.

Cytokine storms characterized by excessive secretion of circulating cytokines and immune-cell hyperactivation are life-threatening systemic inflammatory syndromes. The new strategy is in great demand to inhibit the cytokine storm. Here, we designed a type of magnetically controlled nanorobots (MAGICIAN) by fusing neutrophil membranes onto FeO nanoparticles (FeONPs).

Nucleic acids have emerged as promising therapeutic agents for many diseases because of their potential in modulating gene expression. However, the delivery of nucleic acids remains a significant challenge in gene therapy. Although viral vectors have shown high transfection efficiency, concerns regarding teratogenicity or carcinogenicity have been raised.

Low-density lipoprotein receptors (LDLRs) are scavengers that bind to LDL-C in the liver. LDLR proteins are regulated by proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), which mediates the degradation of LDLR and adjusts the level of the plasma LDL-C.

In this study, we compared the pharmacokinetics and safety of a new generic product and a branded reference product of amisulpride tablets. Additionally, we assessed the bioequivalence of the 2 products in healthy Chinese volunteers to acquire sufficient evidence for the marketing approval of the generic drug. Thirty volunteers under fasting and fed conditions were randomly administered a single dose of the test or reference drug orally, followed by a 7-day washout period.

Objective: To illustrate the functions of protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor type 18 (PTPN18) in the progression of ovarian cancer and the potential molecular mechanism.
Methods: Differential PTPN18 expression in ovarian cancer samples was determined. Following PTPN18 knockdown, changes in proliferation and migration in ovarian cancer cells were detected.
The objective of this study was to prepare silk fibroin SF microspheres containing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) by using a novel ultra-fine particle processing system (UPPS) and to evaluate the microspheres as possible carriers for long-term delivery of sensitive biologicals. The drug content, encapsulation efficiency, and in vitro release were evaluated by Microplate Absorbance Reader. The particle size distribution and morphology of the microspheres were analyzed by Malvern Master Sizer 2000 and scanning electron microscopy.
