Methods for the activation of a cellulose dialysis membrane for immunosensor applications have been developed. For activation two reagents, 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and 1-cyano-4-dimethylaminopyridinium tetrafluoroborate (CDAP), were compared with respect to the coupling efficiency for glucose oxidase (GOx) and 1,8-diamino-2,6-dioxaoctane. The maximum level of activation was 2.4 micromol cm(-2) for CDI and 0.2 micromol cm(-2) for CDAP activation. We observed 1.5 microg cm(-2) and 0.4 x 10(-4) U cm(-2) GOx with CDI-activated membranes whereas 1.7 microg cm(-2) and 7.2 x 10(-4) U cm(-2) GOx were observed with CDAP-activated membranes. With 1,8-diamino-2,6-dioxaoctane amino group densities of 0.165 and 0.09 micromol cm(-2) were observed via CDI and CDAP activation, respectively. An amino-modified membrane was used for coupling a ligand (pentapeptide) and an immunoenzymometric assay for hemoglobin A1c was carried out.

Introduction: Patients with phenylketonuria have lower bone mineral density compared to healthy people, however, the ethiology of these alterations is not clear. Hungarian data were missing in this topic.
Aim: The main aim of our study was to survey the correlation between metabolic control and change of bone mineral density in early treated Hungarian adult patients with phenylketonuria.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) by using the new photosensitizer Octal-Bromide Zinc Phthalocyanine (ZnPcBr(8)) on the nucleus, mitochondria, and cytoskeleton of HEp-2 cells.
Background Data: PDT has been widely used as a therapeutic method for tumor-selective treatment and for other diseases. The therapy requires a photosensitizer, molecular oxygen, and visible light.

Unlabelled: Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) are indicative of stressing conditions that may affect cell viability. In Streptococcus mutans, acid stress induces high levels of GroEL, an HSP, in addition to metabolic alterations, as shown by proteomic analysis.
Objective: We tested whether the expression of GroEL by S.
Influence of penetration enhancers on topical delivery of 5-aminolevulinic acid from bioadhesive patches.
J Pharm Pharmacol
June 2010
School of Pharmacy, Queen's University Belfast, Medical Biology Centre, 97 Lisburn Road, Belfast, UK.
Objectives: The inclusion of chemical penetration enhancers in a novel patch-based system for the delivery of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) was examined in vitro and in vivo. Poor penetration of ALA has been implicated as the primary factor for low response rates achieved with topical ALA-based photodynamic therapy of thicker neoplastic lesions, such as nodular basal cell carcinomas.
Methods: Several chemical permeation enhancers (dimethylsulfoxide, Labrafac CC, Labrafac PG and Labrafil M1944CS) were incorporated into bioadhesive patches tailored to deliver 19 mg ALA/cm(2).
