AI Article Synopsis
- Developed 5-FU sodium alginate-BSA nanoparticles (NP) for studying drug distribution and metabolism in rats after oral administration.
- Used emulsion solidification method to create nanoparticles, measuring their size and drug release rates through various techniques.
- Results showed the NP were primarily found in the liver and spleen, with specific metabolism kinetics indicating that these nanoparticles have limited ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Article Abstract
AIM:To prepare 5-FU sodium alginate(125)I bovine serum albumin nanoparticles (BSA NP), to determine the radioactive count in different organs of rats at different time points after oral administration of 5-FU (125)I sodium alginate-BSA NP and to calculate the kinetic parameters of its metabolism.METHODS:Emulsion solidification method was used to prepare 5-FU (125)I sodium alginate-BSA NP, and to determine its diameter under transmission electronic microscope (TEM). Then the rate of NP and external drug releasing velocity were measured. Radioactive counting in different organs of rats was made after oral administration of the NP by GAMA Counter, and the kinetic parameters of drug metabolism were calculated by handling the data with the two-department model.RESULTS:The average arithmatic diameter of the NP was 166nm ± 34nm, the rate of 5-FU was 32.8% and the cumulative external releasing ratio amounted to 84.0% within 72 hours. The NP was mainly distributed in the liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys after NP oral administration to rats. The micro-radioautographic experiment showed that NP was distributed in the Kupffers cells of liver, liver parenchymal cells and the phagocytes of spleen and lungs. The kinetic parameters of matabolism were: T(1/2) = 9.42h, C(max) = 2.45X10(7)Bq,T(max) = 2.18h, AUC = 148X10(9)Bq.CONCLUSION:NP is difficult to pass through the blood-cerebral barrier,and (125)I sodium alginate-BSA NP enters the body-circulation by gastroin testinal passage.

Article Synopsis
- Transplanting human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) shows promise for treating heart failure, but there's a need for reliable long-term monitoring methods post-transplant.* -
- The study introduced a sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) into human iPSCs and used nuclear medicine imaging to track the engraftment of these cells in immunodeficient rats over time.* -
- NIS-expressing iPSC-CMs were successfully tracked with imaging, but it was found that NIS expression impacted the growth and proliferation of the cells, indicating the need for more research on its effects.*

Understanding protein interactions at biointerfaces is critical for the improved design of biomaterials and medical devices. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used for numerous device applications, and surface modifications can enhance protein immobilization and the response to cells. A multifunctional approach combining topographical and biochemical modifications was applied to PDMS by fabricating 10-20 µm scale patterns onto PDMS surfaces and by coating with polydopamine (PDA).

I is a nuclear fission decay product of concern because of its long half-life (16 Ma) and propensity to bioaccumulate. Microorganisms impact iodine mobility in soil systems by promoting iodination (covalent binding) of soil organic matter through processes that are not fully understood. Here, we examined iodide uptake by soils collected at two depths (0-10 and 10-20 cm) from 5 deciduous and coniferous forests in Japan and the United States.

To investigate the effect of human brain-targeted nanoliposomes encapsulating methylprednisolone sodium succinate on the level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in brain tissue of rats with tuberculous meningitis (TBM), the nanoliposome DSPE-125I-AIBZM-MPS was prepared. 180 rats were divided into normal control, TBM infection, and TBM treatment groups. The brain water content, Evans blue (EB) content, VEGF, and the gene and protein expression of receptors (Flt-1, Flk-1) of rats after modeling were measured.

Sodium iodide symporter () gene transfer for active accumulation of iodide in tumor cells is a powerful theranostic strategy facilitating both diagnostic and therapeutic application of radioiodide. In glioblastoma (GBM), the blood-brain barrier (BBB) presents an additional delivery barrier for nucleic acid nanoparticles. In the present study, we designed dual-targeted NIS plasmid DNA complexes containing targeting ligands for the transferrin receptor (TfR) and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), thus providing the potential for active transport across the BBB followed by targeting of tumor cells.
