Published: June 2008

Introduction: Insulin adsorption onto infusion equipment may affect glycaemic control.

Methods: The change in insulin concentration during delivery through tubing employed for adult ICU and neonatal patients was determined using continuous flow UV analysis.

Results: Insulin adsorption depended on tubing composition, dimensions and flow rate, being highest for neonatal polyvinylchloride tubing at low flow rates.

Conclusion: In continuous insulin therapy, we should consider the nature of the infusion set and flow rate.

Accurate detection of glucose and insulin is crucial for early diagnosis, classification, and timely prevention of diabetes. In this study, we present a novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) aptasensor for glucose and insulin detection. The SERS aptasensor is composed of gold bipyramidal nanoparticles (Au BPs), SH-aptamer-methylene blue (MB), and thiolated polyethylene glycol (SH-PEG).

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a serious metabolic syndrome with high mortality and disability rates globally, which usually caused by unhealthy dietary patterns. Cinnamomum camphora leaf is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb used for attenuating hyperglycemia and digestive disorder, and high level of lignans has been found in C. camphora leaf.

Collagen barrier membranes are frequently used in guided tissue and bone regeneration. The aim of this study was to analyze the signature of human serum proteins adsorbed onto collagen membranes using a novel protein extraction method combined with mass spectrometry. Native porcine-derived collagen membranes (Geistlich Bio-Gide, Wolhusen, Switzerland) were exposed to pooled human serum in vitro and, after thorough washing, subjected to protein extraction either in conjunction with protein enrichment or via a conventional surfactant-based method.

Microplastics and nanoplastics (M-NPs) are widespread pollutants in the environment, posing growing risks to human health and garnering increasing concern from researchers. Due to their small particle size, ease of adsorption, and resistance to degradation, M-NPs can retain and migrate in the environment for long-term periods. Upon entering organisms, M-NPs have been reported to cause inflammation and oxidative stress and result in abnormalities in glycolipid metabolism.

A monolayer encapsulation is a new opportunity for engineering a system with high drug loading, but immobilizing polymer molecules on the surface of individual peptide nanoparticles is still an ongoing challenge. Herein, an individual peptide nanoparticle encapsulation strategy is proposed via surface adsorption, in which peptide molecules undergo granulation and subsequently aggregate with polymer molecules, forming a network via electrostatic interactions. Under the water phase, surplus polymer molecules dissolve, leading to a single nanoparticle encapsulation with a core-shell structure.
