The purpose of this research was to develop ibrutinib (IBR)-loaded lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles (IBR-LPHNPs) to improve oral absorption by intestinal lymphatic uptake. IBR-LPHNPs were fabricated by nanoprecipitation method using poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), lipoid S 100, and DSPE-MPEG 2000. The IBR-LPHNPs showed particle size of 85.27±3.82 nm, entrapment efficiency of 97.70±3.85%, and zeta potential of -24.9±3.08 mV respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry study revealed compatibility between IBR and excipients. X-ray diffraction study showed the conversion of IBR into amorphous form. High-resolution transmission electron microscopic image displayed spherical-shaped, discrete layered polymeric core and lipid shell structure. The drug release from IBR-LPHNPs exhibited prolong release profile up to 48 h and was best fitted to Korsmeyer-Peppas model. Higher fluorescence intensity at the end of 2 h in the intestinal tissue confirmed the uptake of LPHNPs by Peyer's patches. The oral bioavailability of IBR was improved 22.52-fold with LPHNPs as compared to free IBR. The intestinal lymphatic uptake study in rats pretreated with cycloheximide confirmed the intestinal lymphatic uptake of IBR-LPHNPs. All the results conclusively showed that LPHNPs could be a promising approach to improve oral bioavailability of IBR.

Lymph node sampling with endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) may affect treatment options for biliary tract cancers. Our aim is to clarify its utility and clinical significance and the factors associated with FNA cytology positivity. Seventy-one consecutive patients with biliary tract cancer who underwent EUS-FNA to diagnose lymphadenopathies from April 2012 to July 2021 were enrolled retrospectively.

Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to assess the association between methylene blue staining pattern and the presence of histologic nodal metastasis in dogs with low-grade mast cell tumour in low-resource settings for the efficient diagnosis of lymphatic spread.
Methods: Dogs with a single, cytologically low-grade mast cell tumour and no documented distant metastases were prospectively included and underwent surgery. Along with primary mast cell tumour removal, intraoperative sentinel lymph node mapping with peritumoral mast cell tumour injection and regional lymph node excision, regardless of whether blue dye was visible in the lymph node, were performed.

Particle size and surface properties are crucial for lymphatic drainage (LN), dendritic cell (DC) uptake, DC maturation, and antigen cross-presentation induced by nanovaccine injection, which lead to an effective cell-mediated immune response. However, the manner in which the particle size and surface properties of vaccine carriers such as mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) affect this immune response is unknown. We prepared 50, 100, and 200 nm of MSNs that adsorbed ovalbumin antigen (OVA) while modifying -glucan to enhance immunogenicity.

Deuterium (H) MRI is an emerging tool for noninvasive imaging. We explore the integration of H MRI with deuterated multifunctional nanopolymers for deuterated particle imaging (DPI). To this end, amine-terminated G5-polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers were labeled with deuterated acetyl surface groups, leading to highly H-loaded bioparticles, making them ideal for imaging studies.

Current approaches to oral cancer diagnosis primarily involve physical examination, tissue biopsy, and advanced computer-aided imaging techniques. However, despite these advances, patient survival rates have not significantly improved. Hence, there is a critical need to develop minimally invasive tools with high sensitivity and specificity to improve patient survival and quality of life.
