Background/aim: Oral mucositis is a significant side effect in cancer treatment. In this study, we aimed to develop a rebamipide-containing film using chitosan and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) to efficiently treat oral mucositis.
Materials And Methods: A 0.1% (w/v) rebamipide aqueous solution, a 1.4% (w/v) chitosan aqueous solution containing Pluronic® F-127, and a 1.0% (w/v) HPMC aqueous solution were mixed and dried using a square silicon frame to form a film. Cumulative release ratios of rebamipide from sample films were measured in a phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) at 37°C.
Results: Chitosan suppressed the release of rebamipide from the film for up to 30 min. HPMC contributed to the sustained release of the film over a relatively long period of time and the maintenance of its shape.
Conclusion: The combined use of chitosan and HPMC is suitable as a base material for rebamipide-containing films.

High-Entropy Aqueous Electrolyte Induced Formation of Water-Poor Zn2+ Solvation Structures and Gradient Solid-Electrolyte Interphase for Long-Life Zn-Metal Anodes.

Electrolyte engineering has emerged as an effective strategy for stabilizing Zn-metal anodes. However, a single solute or solvent additive is far from sufficient to meet the requirements for electrolyte cycling stability. Here, we report a new-type high-entropy electrolyte composed of equal molar amounts of Zn(OTf)2 and LiOTf, along with equal volumes of H2O, triethyl phosphate, and dimethyl sulfoxide, which enhances electrolyte stability by increasing solvation entropy.

The synthesis of polyferrocenyldimethylsilane-b-poly(L-glutamic acid) block copolymers was systematically explored. Rod-like and plate-like micelles were prepared from self-assembly of the block copolymers in aqueous solution with two different approaches. In a dissolution-dialysis approach, micelles were prepared by dissolving a block copolymer sample in excess aqueous base followed by the dialysis of the solution against water.

Directed assembly of abiotic catalysts onto biological redox protein frameworks is of interest as an approach for the synthesis of biohybrid catalysts that combine features of both synthetic and biological materials. In this report, we provide a multiscale characterization of the platinum nanoparticle (NP) hydrogen-evolving catalysts that are assembled by light-driven reductive precipitation of platinum from an aqueous salt solution onto the photosystem I protein (PSI), isolated from cyanobacteria as trimeric PSI. The resulting PSI-NP assemblies were analyzed using a combination of X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and high-energy X-ray scattering with atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analyses.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-containing firefighting foam have been used in stationary fire suppression systems for several decades. However, there is a lack of research on how to decontaminate PFAS-contaminated infrastructure and evaluate treatment efficiency. This study assessed the removal of PFAS from stainless steel pipe surfaces using different cleaning agents (tap water, methanol, and aqueous solutions containing 10 and 20 wt % of butyl carbitol (BC)) at different temperatures (20 °C, 40 °C, and 70 °C).

A dynamical rearrangement in the electronic structure of a molecule can be driven by different phenomena, including nuclear motion, electronic coherence or electron correlation. Recording such electronic dynamics and identifying its fate in an aqueous solution has remained a challenge. Here, we reveal the electronic dynamics induced by electronic relaxation through conical intersections in both isolated and solvated pyrazine molecules using X-ray spectroscopy.
