AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Olanzapine was formulated as 10% (w/w) mixture with cutina to which stearic acid was added, ranging from 10% to 90% (w/w) of the total mass to control the drug release. The molten mixtures were processed by ultrasound-assisted spray-congealing technique, obtaining solid microspheres. The drug is stable under these conditions and only a partial miscibility in the solid state was observed by DSC between the two fatty materials with two separated melting endotherms in the thermograms: this can be due to the presence of two phases inside the solid dispersion. Olanzapine is distributed into the two phases according to its partition coefficient: two phases make the system less suitable to crystallization of the drug; the loading of the drug could reach saturation with difficulty and the rate of the olanzapine release is differentiated, since the drug is released from two different carriers. Dissolution profiles suggest occurrence of a bimodal release, where each portion of the release profile is linear and the slope increases with a higher content of stearic acid in the carrier mixture, that behaves as a release promoter. Tests were also carried out with palmitic and lauric acids for comparison and also for systems in the absence of ultrasound.

Anti-seizure medications and deep brain stimulation are widely used therapies to treat seizures; however, both face limitations such as resistance and the unpredictable nature of seizures. Recent advancements, including responsive neural stimulation and on-demand drug release, have been developed to address these challenges. However, a gap remains, as electrical stimulation provides only transient effects while medication has a delayed onset.

Zearalenone (ZEN), a prevalent mycotoxin found in cereal crops, poses a significant threat to food safety and human health. To address this issue, there is an urgent need for rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective detection methods. In this study, we developed a novel bimodal aptasensor based on NH-UiO-66@MB composites for ZEN detection.

Simultaneous implementation of tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) repolarization and immunogenic tumor cell death (ICD) elicitation enables tumor immunotherapy with high efficacy. However, the inconsistency of stimulation tolerance restricts simultaneous implementation. To address this obstacle, we validate that an HO-mediated regulatory strategy could achieve coordinated occurrences.
