Percutaneous poisoning is quite rare, and in particular, topical lactic acid poisoning is even more so. We report a young girl with lamellar ichthyosis and symptoms of poisoning, with clinical signs of irritability, agitation, myoclonia, and difficulty in walking, accompanied by lactic acidosis as a result of the more frequent than recommended application of emollients containing lactic acid. The clinical symptoms resolved upon discontinuation of the topical treatment. Among the possible causes of metabolic acidosis, health care providers should be aware of the possibility of percutaneous poisoning.

Cota is a lipidated dual GLP-1 and Glucagon receptor agonist that was investigated for the treatment of various metabolic diseases, it is designed for once daily subcutaneous administration. Invasive daily injections often result in poor patient compliance with chronic disease, and here, we demonstrate an innovative strategy of encapsulating reversible cota self-assembled fibers within an in-situ forming depot of low molecular weight poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (LWPLGA) for sustained delivery GLP-1 and Glucagon receptor agonist with controlled burst release. This could be a suitable alternative to other sustained delivery strategies for fibrillating peptides.

Copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) have garnered significant attention in photothermal therapy (PTT) owing to their facile synthesis, biodegradability, stability, and excellent photothermal conversion efficiency. Nonetheless, their potential toxic effects have restricted their application. This research focuses on the encapsulation of CuS NPs with the biocompatible polymer poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) to enhance their biocompatibility, thereby improving the efficacy and safety of PTT in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

This study aimed to investigate the effects of and on the chemical composition, fermentation characteristics, bacterial communities, and predicted metabolic pathways of whole-plant triticale silage (). Fresh triticale harvested at the milk stage was ensiled in sterile distilled water (CON), (ST), (LP), and a combination of and (LS) for 3, 7, 15, and 30 days. During ensiling, the pH and water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) content in the inoculated groups was significantly lower than those in the CON group ( < 0.
