Transdermal perfusion of a large protein is reported for the first time, using a nanoemulsion of bovine serum albumin (66kDa) of 160nm prepared by a solid-in-oil (S/O) process. Molecular dynamics simulations confirmed skin permeation by these formulations, with integration of the protein into the lipid bilayers. These results demonstrate the real possibility of delivering large proteins transdermally for a range of medical and cosmetic applications.

Short Term Estradiol Administration Does Not Restore Endothelin-B Receptor-Mediated Vasodilation in Postmenopausal Women.
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol

Department of Kinesiology & Applied Physiology, University of Delaware, Newark DE.
The endothelin-B receptor (ETR) mediates vasodilation in young women, an effect that is absent in postmenopausal women. We have previously demonstrated that ETR-mediated vasodilation is regulated by estradiol (E) in young women; however, the impact of E on ETR function in postmenopausal women remains unknown. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that E exposure restores ETR-mediated dilation in postmenopausal women.

Cutaneous Oncology Department, Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, FL, USA.
Background: Isolated limb infusion (ILI) treats unresectable extremity malignancies with high-dose regional chemotherapy limited to the limb. This study assessed long-term outcomes after ILI for limb-threatening sarcomas.
Methods: A retrospective review analyzed patients with an extremity sarcoma who underwent ILI with melphalan and dactinomycin from 2008 to 2023 at a single institution.

Background: Nitroglycerin has been of considerable interest as a treatment for ischaemic stroke. Recent clinical trials with nitroglycerin transdermal patches during the acute phase of stroke failed to improve functional outcomes. Systematic review and meta-analysis of the effectiveness of nitroglycerin in preclinical models of ischaemic stroke has not previously been reported, despite several clinical trials.

Ann Surg Oncol
December 2024
Department of Cutaneous Oncology, Moffitt Cancer Center, Tampa, FL, USA.
Background: Uveal melanoma often metastasizes to the liver, portending a poor prognosis. Melphalan/hepatic delivery system (HDS) via percutaneous hepatic perfusion (PHP) is a minimally invasive means of circulating high-dose chemotherapy through the affected liver. This study evaluated melphalan/HDS use as either first-line or second-line treatment to guide treatment sequencing.
