In vitro drug release test has become one of the most important tools for drug development and approval process of semisolid dosage forms. In vitro release test (IVRT) has the ability to reflect the combined effects of several physicochemical characteristics, particle or droplet size, viscosity, microstructure arrangement of the matter and state of aggregation of dosage form. Genesis of IVRT, its principles and rank order relationship with pharmacodynamic response such as vasoconstriction or dermatopharmacokinetic (skin stripping) results and the evolution of test requirements for regulatory approval is discussed. IVRT reflects various parameters and is an essential part of the stepwise approach to compare topical formulation and its ability to release active in similar quantity at similar rate. Therefore, it is an essential tool, in addition to similar qualitative and quantitative composition (Q1 Q2), to assess the similarity of microstructural arrangement (Q3) as proposed in the Topical drug Classification System (TCS) approach of classes 1 and 3. The TCS system along with evolving concept for topical dermatological drug products from Q1, Q2, Q3 sameness to Q1, Q2, Q3 similar allowing greater permissiveness in formulation changes is discussed.

Importance: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a life-threatening complication of COVID-19 infection. Data on midterm outcomes are limited.
Objective: To characterize the frequency and time course of cardiac dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] <55%), coronary artery aneurysms (z score ≥2.
Unlabelled: The rat offers a uniquely valuable animal model in neuroscience, but we currently lack an individual-level understanding of the in vivo rat brain network. Here, leveraging longitudinal measures of cortical magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) from in vivo neuroimaging between postnatal days 20 (weanling) and 290 (mid-adulthood), we design and implement a computational pipeline that captures the network of structural similarity (MIND, morphometric inverse divergence) between each of 53 distinct cortical areas. We first characterized the normative development of the network in a cohort of rats undergoing typical development (N=47), and then contrasted these findings with a cohort exposed to early life stress (ELS, N=40).

Recovery of the butterfat in waste ice cream may be an opportunity to mitigate food and economic loss. Previous efforts to recover such fat have succeeded in producing a fat-enriched fraction but have not succeeded in demulsifying the fat. In the present study, a method involving a sequence of emulsion-breaking steps is shown to be effective for releasing a majority of the fat from waste ice cream as free, unemulsified oil.

: to address the issue of burst drug release in antibiotic-loaded poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement (ALBC), this study involved preparation of novel PMMA bone cement and determination of its antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, compressive properties, maximum temperature, and setting time. : a novel acrylic monomer, which contains the 3,4-dichloro-5-hydroxyfuran-2(5)-one (DHF), was synthesized and utilized to develop non-leaching antibacterial PMMA bone cement (NLBC), designated as DHF-methacrylic acid (DHF-MAA) bone cement. In the preparation of this bone cement, DHF-MAA served as a key component of the liquid phase.

Background: Cancer immunotherapy has achieved great success in breast cancer treatment in recent years. The Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) /Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint pathway is among the most studied. BMS-1166, a PD-L1 inhibitor, can interfere with PD-1 and PD-L1 interaction.
