Agile analytical approaches are needed for fast and comprehensive characterization of peptide drug candidates. In this study, a unified and versatile multiplex platform was developed to expedite method development and enable the routine determination of multiple quality attributes simultaneously. The platform integrates the automation of size exclusion chromatography (SEC), reversed phase liquid chromatography coupled to reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC-RPLC), and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography hyphenated to charged aerosol detection (HILIC-CAD). Various therapeutic peptide constructs, including macrocyclic peptides and disulfide constrained peptides, across different lots were studied. The effect of the mobile phase acetonitrile content on the impurity profiles was systematically studied using two SEC columns. A prototype MaxPeak Premier SEC 125 Å column packed with BEH PEO particles achieved the separation of impurities (>2.0% area), whereas no impurities could be observed with an ACQUITY UPLC Protein BEH SEC 125 Å column packed with BEH diol particles. Comprehensive impurity profiling and expedited method development was performed utilizing RPLC-RPLC. Each peptide was analyzed by a combination of 12 conditions in the second dimension, using four columns with octadecyl, phenyl-hexyl, and cyano bonded phases, and three mobile phases with various solvents, modifiers, and pH compositions. Additionally, a HILIC-CAD method was developed for the quantification of TFA, commonly present in peptide products.

Objective: Within the scope of this research, the long-term effects of experimental blunt head trauma on immature rats and MK-801 administered acutely after trauma on the brain tissue will be examined. In addition, the impact of trauma and MK-801 on Nestin and CD133, which are essential stem cells, will be evaluated by immunohistochemical and ELISA methods.
Methods: In this study, the contusion trauma model was used.

Objective: Reverse obliquity intertrochanteric fracture is an unstable type of fracture. Current guidelines recommend intramedullary fixation, but there are still complications such as screw removal, hip varus, nail withdrawal, and nail fracture. The objective of this study was to use finite element analysis to compare the biomechanical properties of the novel proximal femoral bionic nail (PFBN), proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA), and combined compression interlocking intramedullary nail (InterTan) in the treatment of reverse obliquity intertrochanteric fractures (AO/OTA 31-A3.

Background: Major mutations (e.g., KRAS, GNAS, TP53, SMAD4) in pancreatic cyst fluid (PCF) are useful for classifying and risk stratifying certain cyst types, particularly in cases with nondiagnostic cytology.

Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in pregnancy are associated with an increased risk of vertical HIV transmission and adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes. In South Africa, syndromic management is the standard of care for STI management. We assessed the potential impact of point-of-care (POC) screening for curable STIs (Chlamydia trachomatis [CT], Trichomonas vaginalis [TV] and Neisseria gonorrhoeae [NG]) during pregnancy on vertical HIV transmission and adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes.

Aim(s): To adapt and validate the HSOPS 2 instrument for the Italian context and to describe the current patient safety culture amongst healthcare personnel working in Italian hospitals.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Methods: We adapted and validated the HSOPS 2 instrument following the COSMIN guidelines: we performed a forward-backward translation, calculated the content validity index, evaluated face validity, acceptability (percentage of participants responding to all items on the questionnaire and to every specific item), construct validity (confirmatory factor analysis), and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha for each dimension).
