In this work, a thorough analysis of hyperosmotic agents for the immersion optical clearing (IOC) in terahertz (THz) range was performed. It was aimed at the selection of agents for the efficient enhancement of penetration depth of THz waves into biological tissues. Pulsed spectroscopy in the frequency range of 0.1 to 2.5 THz was applied for investigation of the optical properties of common IOC agents. Using the collimated transmission spectroscopy in visible range, binary diffusion coefficients of tissue water and agent in ex vivo rat brain tissue were measured. IOC agents were objectively compared using two-dimensional nomogram, accounting for their THz-wave absorption coefficients and binary diffusion coefficients. The results of this study demonstrate an interplay between the penetration depth enhancement and the diffusion rate and allow for pointing out glycerol as an optimal agent among the considered ones for particular applications in THz biophotonics.

A 4-month-old intact male Siamese cat was presented immediately after being found in a washing machine following 30 min of a cold-water wash cycle. The kitten demonstrated clinical signs of shock, respiratory distress, hypothermia, coagulopathy, traumatic brain injury, and ocular injury. Resuscitation and treatment involving IV fluid therapy, hyperosmotic agents, oxygen supplementation, antifibrinolytics, a plasma transfusion, antioxidant medications, broad-spectrum antibiotics, analgesics, topical ophthalmic medications, and intensive nursing care were required.

Background: Hydrogels, containing a large amount of water and exhibiting high biocompatibility, can improve the rheological properties of formulations and adhere well to the application site. In Poland, only 1 hydrogel substrate is currently approved for pharmaceutical compounding: Celugel, based on hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate how the variation in the raw material composition of Celugel-based hydrogels affects their osmotic pressure values and selected rheological properties.
Biotransformation of enrofloxacin-copper combined pollutant in aqueous environments by fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides (CGMCC 40504).

The combined pollution of antibiotics and heavy metals in aqueous environments increases the risk of aquatic ecosystem disruption and the complication of pollutant management. Here, a fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides 11 (CC11) isolated from aquaculture pond sediments possessed effective capacities to biotransform the combined pollution of enrofloxacin (ENR) and copper ion (Cu). ENR and Cu were considerably abated by CC11, and the presence of Cu (30 mg/L) promoted the biotransformation efficiency of ENR.

Objectives: The paper focuses on the development of technology of adipose tissue optical clearing using different complex hyperosmotic optical clearing agents and tissue permeability enhancers.
Methods: To quantify optical clearing efficiency, reduced scattering coefficient was estimated from the ex vivo spatially resolved backreflectance measurements using a multi-distant fiber optical device. Tissue morphology modification was monitored with the help of histological studies.
