Published: June 1987

Infusion of latex beads into isolated perfused rat livers transiently increased glucose output, perfusate lactate/pyruvate ratio and portal vein pressure, mimicking hepatic effects of heat-aggregated IgG (HAG). Indomethacin attenuated hepatic responses to latex beads, and extracellular calcium was required for full expression of hepatic responses. Prior infusion of HAG inhibited the glycogenolytic response to latex beads, supporting a common mechanism of action for the two agents.

High-affinity uric acid clearance based on motile β-CD/F-127 polyrotaxane microspheres for enhanced diabetic wound repair.

Hyperuricemia-related diabetic wounds are notoriously difficult to treat due to elevated uric acid (UA) levels, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), and chronic inflammation. Current therapies often fail to address these underlying causes, underscoring the need for innovative approaches that not only clear UA but also mitigate inflammation and promote tissue regeneration. In this study, we developed a polyrotaxane-based microsphere (HPR MS) system conjugated with 4,5-diamino-2-thiouracil (DT) to achieve high-affinity UA clearance without increasing cytotoxicity.

Facile Fabrication of Monodisperse Vinyl Hybrid Core-Shell Silica Microsphere with Short Range Radial Channel in bi-phase System.

Small

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Synthetic and Natural Functional Molecule Chemistry of Ministry of Education, College of Chemistry & Materials Science, Northwest University, Xi'an, 710127, China.

The development of monodisperse hybrid silica microspheres with highly regular pore structure and uniform distribution of functional groups have significant value in the biomolecular separation field. In this work, the short range ordered pore channels are precisely constructed onto the non-porous silica microsphere surface by a bi-phase assembly method, and the cylindrical silica channel introduced a plethora of vinyl groups by "one-pot" co-condensation to form vinyl hybrid silica shell. As hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) stationary phase, the vinyl hybrid core-shell silica microsphere is simply modified with zwitterion glutathione (SiO@SiO-GSH), in which the HILIC enrichment process is significantly shortened due to its specific porous characteristics.

Mycotoxins are detectable in 60-80% of food crops, posing significant threats to human health and food security, and causing substantial economic losses. Most mitigation approaches focus on detecting mycotoxins with standard methods based on liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Typical MS methods require extensive sample preparation and clean-up due to the matrix effect, followed by time-consuming LC separation, complicating the analysis process and limiting analytical throughput.
