A transdermal drug delivery system (TDDS) is generally designed to deliver an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) through the skin for systemic action. Permeation of an API through the skin is controlled by adjusting drug concentration, formulation composition, and patch design. A bilayer, drug-in-adhesive TDDS design may allow improved modulation of the drug release profile by facilitating varying layer thicknesses and drug spatial distribution across each layer. We hypothesized that the co-release of two fixed-dose APIs from a bilayer TDDS could be controlled by modifying spatial distribution and layer thickness while maintaining the same overall formulation composition. Franz cell diffusion studies demonstrated that three different bilayer patch designs, with different spatial distribution of drug and layer thicknesses, could modulate drug permeation and be compared with a reference single-layer monolith patch design. Compared with the monolith, decreased opioid antagonist permeation while maintaining fentanyl permeation could be achieved using a bilayer design. In addition, modulation of the drug spatial distribution and individual layer thicknesses, control of each drug's permeation could be independently achieved. Bilayer patch performance did not change over an 8-week period in accelerated stability storage conditions. In conclusion, modifying the patch design of a bilayer TDDS achieves an individualized permeation of each API while maintaining constant patch composition.

The content of 39 metals and metalloids (MMs) in submicron road dust (PM fraction) was studied in the traffic zone, residential courtyards with parking lots, and on pedestrian roads in parks in Moscow. The geochemical profiles of PM vary slightly between different types of roads and courtyards but differ significantly from those in parks. In Moscow, compared to other cities worldwide, submicron road dust contains less As, Sb, Mo, Cr, Cd, Sn, Tl, Ca, Rb, La, Y, U, but more Cu, Zn, Co, Fe, Mn, Ti, Zr, Al, V.

The scientific establishment of the Ecological Security Pattern (ESP) is crucial for fostering the synergistic development of ecological and recreational functions, thereby enhancing urban ecological protection, recreational development, and sustainable growth. This study aimed to propose a novel method of constructing ESP considering both ecological and recreational functions, and to reconstruct ESP by weighing the relationship between ecological protection and recreational development. Utilizing Fuzhou City as a case study, a comprehensive application of methodologies including Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis (MSPA), landscape connectivity analysis, ArcGIS spatial analysis, social network analysis (SNA), and circuit theory is employed to develop both the ESP and the Recreational Spatial Pattern (RSP).

This study used Raman and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to monitor small real-time changes in powder blends and tablets in low-dose pharmaceutical formulations. The research aims to enhance process analytical technology (PAT) in pharmaceutical manufacturing, ensuring high-quality and uniform products with applications to produce drugs with narrow therapeutic indices (NTI). The study utilizes Raman and NIR spatially resolved spectroscopy (SRS) techniques to monitor a moderate cohesive material's active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) concentrations during manufacturing.
