We report on the hyphenation of the modern flow techniques Lab-In-Syringe and Lab-On-Valve for automated sample preparation coupled online with high-performance liquid chromatography. Adopting the bead injection concept on the Lab-On-Valve platform, the on-demand, renewable, solid-phase extraction of five nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, namely ketoprofen, naproxen, flurbiprofen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen, was carried out as a proof-of-concept. In-syringe mixing of the sample with buffer and standards allowed straightforward pre-load sample modification for the preconcentration of large sample volumes. Packing of ca. 4.4 mg microSPE columns from Oasis HLB sorbent slurry was performed for each sample analysis using a simple microcolumn adapted to the Lab-On-Valve manifold to achieve low backpressure during loading. Eluted analytes were injected into online coupled HPLC with subsequent separation on a Symmetry C18 column in isocratic mode. The optimized method was highly reproducible, with RSD values of 3.2% to 7.6% on 20 µg L level. Linearity was confirmed up to 200 µg L and LOD values were between 0.06 and 1.98 µg L. Recovery factors between 91 and 109% were obtained in the analysis of spiked surface water samples.

Regulatory T cell expansion prevents retinal degeneration in type 2 diabetes.

Background: The global incidence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is rapidly increasing, with retinopathy being its most common complication and a leading cause of preventable blindness. Although the precise mechanisms involved in the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR) are not fully understood, defective immunomodulation is a recognized key factor in its pathophysiology. Regulatory T cells (Treg) regulate inflammation and promote regeneration, and while they are known to have important anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective roles in other tissues, including central nervous system, their role in the diabetic retina remains largely unknown.

Article Synopsis
- The dual centrifugation method is an efficient tool for preparing submicron pharmaceutical suspensions by enabling the simultaneous milling of 40 samples, but more research is needed to fully understand how different process variables affect particle sizes.
- Key factors influencing particle size include milling speed, bead size, and bead loading, while rotor temperature had no significant impact when polysorbate 20 was used.
- The study found that optimal conditions, such as higher milling speeds and smaller beads, led to faster size reductions, achieving target sizes in about 30 minutes for specific compounds like cinnarizine, haloperidol, and indomethacin.
Severe oral mucositis is a major cause of a low quality of life in patients; however, the therapeutic effect of traditional treatments is insufficient. Therefore, we designed a carbopol gel based on rebamipide nanocrystals (REB NCs) and gum arabic (GA-REB@NP), and investigated its efficacy in accelerating wound healing in a hamster model of oral mucositis. REB NCs were prepared by bead milling, and GA- REB@NP were prepared by incorporating REB NCs into a carbopol gel.

The aim of the study is to formulate an injectable nanocrystalline suspension (NS) of dutasteride (DTS), a hydrophobic 5α-reductase inhibitor used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia and scalp hair loss, for parenteral long-acting delivery. A DTS-loaded NS (DTS-NS, 40 mg/mL DTS) was prepared using a lab-scale bead-milling technique. The optimized DTS-NS prepared using Tween 80 (0.

Many different formulation strategies have been investigated to oppose suboptimal treatment of long-term or chronic conditions, one of which are the nano- and microsuspensions prepared as long-acting injectables to prolong the release of an active pharmaceutical compound for a defined period of time by regulating the size of particles by milling. Typically, surfactant and/or polymers are added in the dispersion medium of the suspension during processing for stabilization purposes. However, current formulation investigations with milling are heavily based on prior expertise and trial-and-error approaches.
