We study the angular distribution of electron elastic backscattering probability, using the Oswald-Kasper-Gaukler (OKG) model and Monte Carlo simulation. The present results are consistent with experimental data and other theoretical calculations. We also propose an approach that makes the OKG model applicable to determine electron inelastic mean free paths for compounds. We apply the OKG model with the proposed approach to zinc oxide (ZnO) and cerium dioxide (CeO).

In order to address the issue of food contamination by microorganisms and effectively harness the antibacterial properties of nisin, we attempted to incorporate nisin into natural polymer films while addressing its inherent instability. An antibacterial food packaging film based on carboxymethyl chitosan (CCS) binding with L-cysteine (CYS) and oxidized konjac glucomannan (OKG) was developed through both Schiff base reaction and addition reaction of thiol aldehyde. To analyze the effect of addition reaction of thiol aldehyde on the CCS-CYS/OKG films' physicochemical properties, the CCS-CYS was prepared with different CYS combination rates, which were further used to fabricate composite films.

Collagen-type I gels are widely used for the fabrication of 3D in vitro gingival models. Unfortunately, their long-term stability is low, which limits the variety of in vitro applications. To overcome this problem and achieve better hydrolytic stability of 3D gingival models, fibrin-based hydrogel blends with increased long-term stability in vitro are investigated.

Ornithine α-ketoglutarate (OKG), a nutritional compound, is an amino acid salt with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects on humans and animals. Ulcerative colitis (UC), as an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), leads to chronic intestinal inflammatory dysfunction. This study evaluated the optimal dosage of OKG in healthy mice.

Pre-treatment bicarbonate levels and decongestion by acetazolamide: the ADVOR trial.

Article Synopsis
  • Acetazolamide, used in the ADVOR trial for treating acute heart failure, helps improve fluid removal when given alongside standard diuretics, but its effectiveness may be influenced by patients' bicarbonate (HCO3) levels.
  • A sub-analysis of 519 patients showed that those with higher bicarbonate levels (≥ 27 mmol/l) had a significantly better decongestive response to the medication compared to those with lower levels.
  • Overall, elevated bicarbonate levels correlated with improved diuretic response and reduced congestion scores, highlighting the importance of baseline bicarbonate in managing heart failure with acetazolamide treatment.

Adenovirus ocular infections are common ocular viral infections seen worldwide, for which there is no approved antiviral therapy available. Ranpirnase is a novel ribonuclease which preferentially degrades tRNA resulting in an inhibition of protein synthesis. The study goal was to determine the anti-adenoviral activity of topical formulations of ranpirnase (OKG-0301) on adenoviral replication in the Ad5/NZW rabbit ocular replication model.
