Prediction of Cholecystokinin-Secretory Peptides Using Bidirectional Long Short-term Memory Model Based on Transfer Learning and Hierarchical Attention Network Mechanism.

Cholecystokinin (CCK) can make the human body feel full and has neurotrophic and anti-inflammatory effects. It is beneficial in treating obesity, Parkinson's disease, pancreatic cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma. Traditional biological experiments are costly and time-consuming when it comes to finding and identifying novel CCK-secretory peptides, and there is an urgent need to develop a new computational method to predict new CCK-secretory peptides.

[Comparative study on pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of a novel microemulsion based on the paclitaxel/L-OH lipid complex and paclitaxel injection in cremophor].

The pharmacokinetics and tissue distributions of the novel paclitaxel microemulsion based on the L-OH lipid complex made in our laboratory were studied in this article with the commercial paclitaxel injection in cremophor as reference preparation by injected intravenously with single dose of 5 mg x kg(-1) in rats. LC-MS/MS method was used to determine the drug concentration in plasma and calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters. [3H]-paclitaxel was used to reveal the tissue distributions of different organs in 0.

Formulation, characterization and hypersensitivity evaluation of an intravenous emulsion loaded with a paclitaxel-cholesterol complex.

The objective of this paper was to develop a novel Cremophor-free, autoclave stable, intravenous emulsion for paclitaxel (PACE). A paclitaxel-cholesterol complex was used as the drug carrier to improve the solubility of paclitaxel in the oil phase of emulsions. The complex and PACE were prepared by rotary evaporation and high-pressure homogenization, respectively.

Transdermal delivery of insulin using microneedle rollers in vivo.

This study characterizes skin perforation by commercially available microneedle rollers and evaluates the efficacy of transdermal delivery of insulin to diabetic rats. Three different needle lengths, 250, 500 and 1000 microm, were used in this work. Creation and resealing of the skin holes that were produced by the needles were observed by Evan's blue (EB) staining and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) measurements.
