A simple and rapid method for separation and determination of meloxicam and its degradation products by thin-layer chromatography with densitometric detection in pharmaceutical preparations was described. The method employed TLC F254 plates as the stationary phase. The solvent system consisted of ethyl acetate : toluene : butylamine (2:2:1, v/v/v). Densitometric analysis was carried out in absorbance mode at wavelength of 297 nm. The method was validated for linearity, precision and accuracy. The limits of detection and determination were 0.96 μg per spot and 2.90 μg per spot, respectively. The drug was degraded in acidic and basic environment, at different temperatures. The degradation products were well resolved from the active substance. The HPLC-MS/MS method for the identification of degradation products of meloxicam (i.e. 5-methylthiazol- 2-ylamine and 5-(dioxide-l(6)-sulfanylidene)-6-methylidenecyclohexa-1,3-diene) was investigated. Because the presented method allows the efficient separation of the drug from some of its degradation products, so it can be used as a stability-indicating analysis.

Background: Fungal pretreatment for partial separation of lignocellulosic components may reduce lignocellulose recalcitrance during the production of biofuels and biochemicals. Quantitative and qualitative modification of plant lignin through genetic engineering or traditional breeding may also reduce the recalcitrance. This study was conducted to examine the effects of combining these two approaches using three white rot fungi and mulberry wood with an altered lignin structure.

Background: Lysinuric protein intolerance is a rare autosomal disorder caused by mutations in the Slc7a7 gene that lead to impaired transport of neutral and basic amino acids. The gold standard treatment for lysinuric protein intolerance involves a low-protein diet and citrulline supplementation. While this approach partially improves cationic amino acid plasma levels and alleviates some symptoms, long-term treatment is suggested to be detrimental and may lead to life-threatening complications characterized by a wide range of hematological and immunological abnormalities.

Background: Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the major causative agents of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), and can cause severe cerebral complications and even fatality in children younger than 5 years old. However, there is no specific medication for EV71 infection in clinical practice. Our previous studies had identified the 6-thioguanine (6-TG), an FDA-approved anticancer drug, as a potential antiviral agent, but its anti-EV71 activity is largely unknown, therefore, we aim to explore the antiviral effect of 6-TG on EV71.

Background: Due to sexual dimorphism in growth of penaeid shrimp, all-female cultivation is desirable for the aquaculture industry. 17β-estradiol (E2) has the potential to induce the male-to-female sex reversal of decapod species. However, the mechanisms behind it remain poorly understood.

Optimization of the intron sequences combined with the CMV promoter increases recombinant protein expression in CHO cells.

To meet the requirements of the biopharmaceutical industry, improving the yield of recombination therapeutic protein (RTP) from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells is necessary. The human cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter is widely used for RTP expression in CHO cells. To further improve RTP production, we truncated the human CMV intron and further evaluated the effect of four synthetic introns, including ctEF-1α first, EF-1α first, chimeric, and β-globin introns combined with the CMV promoter on recombinant expression levels in transient and stably recombinant CHO cells.
