The results presented here demonstrate the potential applicability of the described cross-linking method for preparation of soluble glycoenzyme derivatives. The high level of the retained enzyme activity supports the assumption that this approach is superior to the cross-linking through the protein part. In this study, high mannose-type glycoproteins were used. However, the complex-type glycoproteins that are spread among glycoproteins of higher eukaryotes also can be cross-linked by this procedure because, at the least, the terminal monosaccharide will be oxidized by periodate. Moreover, this approach may be applicable when dealing with partially purified glycoenzymes because the protein impurities are not expected to interfere with the cross-linking reaction. Besides cross-linking, other kinds of chemical modifications of glycoenzymes through the carbohydrate part are possible. This, in turn, could lead to changes in the physicochemical and catalytic properties of the enzymes, thereby opening a new field of glycoenzyme engineering.

The current lack of stable, scalable, and efficient coating technology dramatically limits the exploitation of solar-driven graphitic carbon nitride (CN) photocatalysts. Herein, a unique, efficient, and scalable method is reported to immobilize CN powder on various substrates ranging from Fluorine tin oxide (FTO), glass, Plexiglas, Al foil, Ti foil, and Granite stone, to even wood. The film shows an outstanding thickness of 212 µm, which is the highest value ever reported.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of two different surgical planning strategies for topography-guided repair of post-LASIK ectasia.
Methods: This is a case report of a patient presenting with post-LASIK ectasia. A retrospective chart review was used to collect details of the ophthalmic exam, as well as ocular imaging such as anterior segment optical coherence tomography and Scheimpflug corneal tomography.
Synthesis of Bovine Serum Albumin-Coated Magnetic Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes as a Delivery System for Mitoxantrone.

In this study, a bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated magnetic single-walled carbon nanotube (mCNT) was synthesized using covalent functionalization. Mitoxantrone (MTO) was chosen as a model drug, and loading/release profiles of mCNTs were evaluated. To synthesize BSA-coated mCNT, 1-ethyl-3-(3-(dimethylamino)propyl) carbodiimide and -hydroxysuccinimide were used as cross-linking agents.

This study investigates the morphology and thermo-mechanical properties of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipes for potential use in high-temperature borehole thermal energy storage systems. Particular attention is given to a novel type of PEX pipe produced through photoinitiated cross-linking (PEX-e). Two formulations, PEX-e1 and PEX-e2, were analyzed and compared to peroxide-cross-linked polyethylene (PEX-a) and non-cross-linked bimodal polyethylene (PE100) pipes.

Dry eye disease is becoming increasingly prevalent, and lubricating eye drops, a mainstay of its treatment, have a short duration of time on the ocular surface. Although there are various drug delivery methods to increase the ocular surface residence time of a topical lubricant, the main problem is the burst release from these delivery systems. To overcome this limitation, herein, a chemical-physical interpenetrating network (IPN) was fabricated to take control over the release of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), a well-known therapeutic agent used to stabilize tear film, from gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels.
