Published: December 2014

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with functional and structural changes of the peritoneal membrane, also known as peritoneal remodeling. The peritoneal membrane is affected by many endogenous and exogenous factors such as cytokines, PD fluids, and therapeutic interventions. Here, we present an overview of various studies that have investigated pharmacologic interventions aimed at regression of peritoneal damage and prolongation of PD treatment.

Pretargeted Multimodal Tumor Imaging by Enzymatic Self-Immobilization Labeling and Bioorthogonal Reaction.

J Am Chem Soc

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Analytical Chemistry for Life Science, Chemistry and Biomedicine Innovation Center (ChemBIC), School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Nanjing University, 163 Xianlin Road, Nanjing 210023, China.

Covalent modification of cell membranes has shown promise for tumor imaging and therapy. However, existing membrane labeling techniques face challenges such as slow kinetics and poor selectivity for cancer cells, leading to off-target effects and suboptimal efficacy. Here, we present an enzyme-triggered self-immobilization labeling strategy, termed E-SIM, which enables rapid and selective labeling of tumor cell membranes with bioorthogonal trans-cycloctene (TCO) handles .

In the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), peritoneal macrophages contribute to the resident intestinal macrophage pool. Previous studies have demonstrated that oral administration of L-fucose exerts an immunomodulatory effect and repolarizes the peritoneal macrophages in vivo in mice. In this study, we analyzed the phenotype and metabolic profile of the peritoneal macrophages from mice, as well as the effect of L-fucose on the metabolic and morphological characteristics of these macrophages in vitro.

Synergistic antimicrobial efficacy of glabrol and colistin through micelle-based co-delivery against multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens.

Phytomedicine

January 2025

Animal-Derived Food Safety Innovation Team, College of Animal Science and Technology, Anhui Agricultural University, Hefei 230036, PR China. Electronic address:

Background: Widespread bacterial infection and the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) exhibit increasing threats to the public and thus require new antibacterial strategies. Coupled with the current slow pace of antibiotic development, the use of antibiotic adjuvants to revitalize existing antibiotics offers great potential.

Purpose: We aim to explore the synergistic antimicrobial mechanism of glabrol (GLA) and colistin (COL) while developing an innovative multifunctional micelle-based drug delivery system to enhance therapeutic efficacy.
