Objective: To determine the dynamic release of tinidazole from the degradable poly-lactic acid (PLLA)-tinidazole blend gel (a periodontal local drug delivery) by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in vitro and to observe the polylactic acid (as a vector of tinidazole) how to affect the release of tinidazole.
Methods: HPLC analysis was conducted. The operating conditions were C18-ODS-A column, water-methanol-acetic acid as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min and a detection wavelength at 310 nm and a column temperature at 30 degrees C.
Results: The retention time of tinidazole was about 12 min. There was good linear relationship between the concentrations of tinidazole in blend gel and their peak areas in the ranges of 5 - 500 mg/L. The regression reaction was y = 0.836 + 8.452 2 x 10(-5) x (r = 0.998 6). RSD was 0.2%. Polylactic acid had no influence on the determination of tinidazole. The daily average release of tinidazole was 5.60%. The cumulative release of tinidazole was about 78.40% in 14 days.
Conclusion: The in vitro drug release analysis is an useful method in evaluating the performance of local drug delivery system. HPLC analysis is a simple and accurate method with good reproducibility.

This study investigates the feasibility of fabrication of poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (Kollidon®25)-mediated filaments for producing tinidazole (TNZ)-loaded, customizable, child-friendly tablets (with varying shapes and sizes) using hot melt extrusion (HME) coupled with fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology. Kollidon®25, chosen for its ability to enhance the dissolution of TNZ (a BCS Class II drug), was evaluated for polymer-drug compatibility through Hansen solubility, polarity, and interaction parameter analyses, confirming good miscibility and affinity between TNZ and Kollidon®25. Placebo- and TNZ-loaded filaments were prepared in different ratios using HME, followed by the development of 3D-printed tablets via FDM.

Article Synopsis
- Implant-associated infections (IAIs) lead to prosthetic implant failure, largely due to bacterial biofilms that resist standard antibiotic treatments.
- A new method using a sonosensitive metal-organic framework (Cu-TCPP) and probiotic-derived membrane vesicles (OMVs) combines sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and antibacterial agents to effectively target and destroy these infections.
- This approach enhances the local microenvironment, promotes bacterial death by disrupting their metabolism, and aids in bone repair, making it a promising solution for managing IAIs.

Industrial dye degradation involves several processes by which dyes are broken down, ideally into innocuous products. Methylene blue (MB) is one of the most commonly employed dyes in the textile industry and is released into water in routine industry processes. These discharges lead to creating a nocuous nature for humans and animals.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common dysbiosis of the human vaginal microbiota characterized by depletion of hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid-producing Lactobacillus bacteria and an overgrowth of certain facultative anaerobic bacteria. Although short-term cure rates following treatment with frontline antibiotics (most notably oral metronidazole (MNZ), clindamycin vaginal cream, and MNZ vaginal gel) are generally high, longer-term recurrence rates are an issue. The development of vaginal formulations offering continuous/sustained administration of antibiotic drugs over one or more weeks might prove useful in reducing recurrence.

Chitosan/glycerophosphate thermosensitive hydrogel crosslinked physically was a potential drug delivery carrier; however, long gelation time limits its application. Here, chitosan-amino acid (AA) thermosensitive hydrogels were prepared from chitosan (CS), αβ-glycerophosphate (GP), and l-lysine (Lys) or l-glutamic acid (Glu). The prepared CS-Lys/GP and CS-Glu/GP hydrogel showed good thermosensitivity and could form gels in a short time.
