A supermacroporous monolithic cryogel was directly prepared by in situ cryo-copolymerization in a stainless steel cartridge (70mmx5.0mm I.D.) using methacrylic acid (MAA) as functional monomer and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) as crosslinker. The highly crosslinked (90%, molar ratio) poly(MAA-PEGDA) cryogel had more uniform supermacropores with a mean diameter of 25microm compared to the poly(acrylamide)-based cryogels. The viability of poly(MAA-PEGDA) cryogel as a medium was demonstrated for separations of lysozyme from chicken egg white (CEW) and water-soluble poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-3-(dimethylamino) propyl methacrylamide) (NIPAM-DMAPMA) nanoparticles from its crude reaction solution. The dynamic binding capacities of lysozyme and the polymeric nanoparticles were 4.51x10(-3)micromol/ml and 33.4microg/ml, respectively. The lysozyme recovered from the above separations had a purity of more than 85%, and retained 90% of its enzymatic activity.

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and their biocompatible conjugates find wide use as transducers in (bio)sensors and as Nano-pharmaceutics. The study of the interaction between AuNPs and proteins in representative application media helps to better understand their intrinsic behaviors. A multi-environment, multi-parameter screening strategy is proposed based on asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4)-multidetector.

Catalytic upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into high-value oxygenated products is a fascinating process, yet it remains challenging. Here, we present a one-step tandem strategy to realize the thermal catalytic oxidation upcycling of PET to terephthalic acid (TPA) and high-value glycolic acid (GA) instead of ethylene glycol (EG). By using the Au/NiO with rich oxygen vacancies as catalyst, we successfully accelerate the hydrolysis of PET, accompanied by obtaining 99% TPA yield and 87.

Owing to their attractive antitumor effects, aminated fullerene derivatives are emerging as promising therapeutic drugs for cancer. However, their in vivo applications are severely limited due to cation toxicity. To address this problem, human heavy chain ferritin (HFn), possessing natural biocompatibility is utilized, to develop a novel supramolecular assembly drug delivery system.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS) and surface-coated microspheres to improve the oral bioavailability of niclosamide.
Methods: A solubility screening study showed that liquid SNEDDS, prepared using an optimized volume ratio of corn oil, Cremophor RH40, and Tween 80 (20:24:56), formed nanoemulsions with the smallest droplet size. Niclosamide was incorporated into this liquid SNEDDS and spray-dried with calcium silicate to produce solid SNEDDS.
