Flow dialysis has found widespread use in determining the dissociation constant (KD) of a protein-ligand interaction or the amount of available binding sites (E0). This method has the potency to measure both these parameters in a single experiment and in this article a method to measure simultaneously the KD and E0 is presented, together with an extensive error analysis of the method. The flow-dialysis technique is experimentally simple to perform. However, a number of practical aspects of this method can have a large impact on the outcome of KD and E0. We have investigated all sources of significant systematic and random errors, using the interaction between mannitol and its transporter from Escherichia coli as a model. Monte Carlo simulations were found to be an excellent tool to assess the impact of these errors on the binding parameters and to define the experimental conditions that allow their most accurate estimation.

From monomer to micelle: a facile approach to the multi-step synthesis of block copolymers inline purification.

A one-pass continuous flow strategy to form block copolymer nanoaggregates directly from monomers is presented. A key development towards such a sophisticated continuous flow setup is a significant improvement in continuous flow dialysis. Often impurities or solvent residues from polymerizations must be removed before block extensions or nanoaggregate formation can be carried out, typically disrupting the workflow.

Pharm Res
May 2020
Université de Toulouse, UPS/CNRS, IMRCP, Toulouse, France.
Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate organogel nanoparticles as a lipophilic vehicle to increase the oral bioavailability of poorly soluble compounds. Efavirenz (EFV), a Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) Class II, was used as drug model.
Methods: Organogel nanoparticles loaded with EFV were formulated with sunflower oil, 12-hydroxystearic acid (HSA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).
Nocturnal home hemodialysis with low-flow dialysate: Retrospective analysis of the first European patients.
Hemodial Int
April 2020
Queen Alexandra Hospital, Wessex Kidney Centre, Portsmouth, UK.
Introduction: Despite mounting evidence that increased frequency and duration of hemodialysis (HD) improves outcomes, less than 1% of HD patients worldwide receive nocturnal hemodialysis (NHD). Many perceived barriers exist to providing NHD and increasing its provision.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of nocturnal therapy using a low-flow dialysate system in 4 European centers for a minimum of 12 months, with data collected on patient demographics, training times, safety features, medications, and biochemical parameters at baseline and at 6 and 12 months.
The pathology and changing epidemiology of dialysis-related cardiac beta-2 microglobulin amyloidosis.

Department of Pathology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, 02114, USA. Electronic address:
Cardiac amyloidosis in the setting of systemic amyloidosis due to β-microglobulin can occur in the setting of long-term dialysis. It has been suggested that newer dialysis techniques may prevent or at least reduce the likelihood of this disorder occurring. Currently, the prevalence and incidence of dialysis-related cardiac β-microglobulin amyloidosis are unclear.

Introduction: This study was conducted to compare catheter function, dialysis adequacy, and dialysis-related complications among patients receiving long-term dialysis via Palindrome catheter, Permcath catheter, and arteriovenous fistula (AVF) as vascular access.
Materials And Methods: Forty-three patients undergoing dialysis with Permcath catheter, 49 with Palindrome catheter, and 56 with AVF were recruited. Urea clearance (KT/V), urea reduction rate, and the highest blood flow at the arteriovenous junction during dialysis were determined during the dialysis sessions.
