The development of the most comprehensive universal calibration of molar mass dependences will be presented. For the first time, diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) can now provide structure-, solvent-, and temperature-independent molar mass determinations for both small and large molecules. This fundamental theoretical approach provides only one single function which could perfectly describe all molar mass dependences. The new development using DOSY was tested on 477 diffusion coefficients representing altogether 56 molar mass dependences of 30 small molecules in 7 solvents, 5 different polymers in 10 solvents, and 11 temperature dependences of 2 polymers in 2 solvents, respectively. These samples cover a very large range of molar masses varying between 70 g/mol until 1 200 000 g/mol. The derived equation for the molar masses delivered a very good accuracy for all samples and might be one of the best tools for molar mass determinations.

Pseudobulbs of Pleione bulbocodioides have been used as traditional Chinese medicine for a long time to treat cancers through decoction with water. However, as its main water-soluble ingredient, the structure of polysaccharide has not been elucidated yet. To obtain its polysaccharide with antitumor activity, a series of isolation, structural identification and antitumor evaluation experiments were performed.

Carfentanil, a highly potent synthetic opioid, paradoxically serves as a crucial positron emission tomography (PET) imaging tool in neurobiological studies of the mu-opioid receptor (MOR) system when labeled with carbon-11 ([C]CFN). However, its clinical research use is hindered by extreme potency and the limited availability of short-lived carbon-11 ( = 20.4 min).

Nabumetone (NAB) is a poorly soluble nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory prodrug (BCS class II drug) whose solubility is significantly improved by complexation with cyclodextrins (CDs). : The solid complexes, in a 1:1 molar ratio, were prepared by mechanochemical activation by grinding, using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and its derivatives, hydroxypropyl- and sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD and SBE-β-CD). The complexation was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR).

Oat beta-glucans (OBGs) are known for their beneficial effects on gut health, including anti-inflammatory and prebiotic effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of two doses (1% or 3% /) of dietary low-molar-mass OBG supplementation on colorectal cancer (CRC) development, immune cell profiles, intestinal barrier protein expression, and microbiota composition in a rat model of CRC induced by azoxymethane (AOM). Microbiome analysis revealed significant differences between the control and CRC groups.
