Objective: To investigate the pharmacokinetic profiles and tissue distribution of long circulating liposome formulations-anionic, cationic, and neutral long circulating liposomes (NA, PA, A-D) in rabbits and mice.
Methods: Conventional liposomes (CA) encapsulated with 125I-bcl-2/bcl-xl ASON and free 125I-bcl-2/bcl-xl ASON (FA) were intravenously administered to rabbits and mice. The blood samples from rabbits and organs from mice were collected, respectively. The radioactivity of the blood and tissues samples were measured.
Results: The clearance of the four kinds of liposomes and FA exhibited bicompartmental behaviors. Compared with others, NA demonstrated favourable pharmacokinetic properties characterized with enhancement of T9(1/2 alpha) and T(1/2 beta), increased area under concentration-time curve, and decreased liver uptake. Higher uptake in the liver, spleen and kidney of mice and lower uptake in the brain, muscle, and bone of mice were observed shortly after intravenous injection of the four different kinds of liposomes and FA. A 30% decrease in uptake of NA was found in the liver of mice four hours after intravenous injection compared with the uptake of CA. No significant differences were found in the uptake of the four kinds of liposomes in the spleen of mice (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: NA is promising as a carrier for radio-antisense therapy.

While durable antibody responses from long-lived plasma cell (LLPC) populations are important for protection against pathogens, LLPC may be harmful if they produce antibodies against self-proteins or self-nuclear antigens as occurs in autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Thus, the elimination of autoreactive LLPC may improve the treatment of antibody-driven autoimmune diseases. However, LLPC remain a challenging therapeutic target.

Here we conducted studies in southwestern (SW) Uganda region that has since 2016 reported increasing RVF activities.
Methods: A 22-month long hospital-based study in three districts of SW Uganda targeting patients with acute febrile illness (AFI) or unexplained bleeding was followed by a cross-sectional population-based human-animal survey.

Introduction: The clinical management of the inherited bleeding disorder von Willebrand disease (VWD) focuses on normalizing circulating levels of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VIII (FVIII) to prevent or control bleeding events. The heterogeneous nature of VWD, however, complicates effective disease management and development of universal treatment guidelines.
Areas Covered: The current treatment modalities of VWD and their limitations are described and why this prompts the development of new treatment approaches.

In this work, we introduce spatial and chemical saturation options for artefact reduction in magnetic resonance fingerprinting (MRF) and assess their impact on T and T mapping accuracy. An existing radial MRF pulse sequence was modified to enable spatial and chemical saturation. Phantom experiments were performed to demonstrate flow artefact reduction and evaluate the accuracy of the T and T maps.

Rhabdomyolysis or Crush syndrome-related AKI (RM/CS-AKI) has high mortality, and there is no effective early on-site treatment method. The critical pathogenic factor of RM/CS-AKI is the excessive free myoglobin (Mb) in blood circulation. Here, based on the concept of creating a "mobile barrier", we develop an anti-Mb rabbit monoclonal antibody (RabMAb) with high specificity, affinity, stability, and broad species reactivity.
