In this study; the in vitro effects of some drugs used in chemotherapy on the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme (G6PD; E.C. 1.1.1.49) purified from human erythrocyte lysate were investigated. In the first stage of the study, G6PD enzyme was purified from human erythrocyte lysate (with a specific activity of 0.243 EU/mg protein, 68.75% yield and 162 purificaion fold) by ammonium sulfate precipitation and 2', 5' Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-Sepharose 4B gel affinity chromatography. The purity of the enzyme was checked by the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). In the second stage of the study, the in vitro effects of some chemotherapy drugs such as ibandronic acid, fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, metoart con and cisplatin on the activity of the purified enzyme were investigated. As a result of the in vitro studies, the drugs ibandronic acid, oxaliplatin and carboplatin, have an inhibitory effect on the enzyme, and IC values were calculated as 1.34, 2.05, and 2.43 mM, respectively. In addition, in order to determine the constants and inhibition types for the drugs oxaliplatin and carboplatin, activity measurements were made at five different substrates and three fixed inhibitor concentrations and Lineweaver-Burk graphs were drawn. With the help of these graphs, the constant of oxaliplatin was determined as 19.46 ± 3.38 mM and the constant of carboplatin was 22.37 ± 3.19 mM. It was determined that the inhibition type of both drugs was competitive. It was determined that the drugs fluorouracil, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, metoart con, and cisplatin did not have a significant effect on the enzyme activity.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM), a chronic metabolic disease, is characterized by long-term hyperglycemia resulting from the defect of insulin production and insulin resistance. The damage and dysfunction of pancreatic β-cells is a main link in DM development.
Methods: In this work, pancreatic β-cell line INS-1E cells were exposed to 30 mM glucose for 48 h to construct an in vitro DM model.

Blood-contacting medical devices can easily trigger immune responses, leading to thrombosis and hyperblastosis. Constructing microtexture that provides efficient antithrombotic and rapid reendothelialization performance on complex curved surfaces remains a pressing challenge. In this work, we present a robust and regular micronano binary texture on the titanium surface, characterized by exceptional mechanical strength and precisely controlled wettability to achieve excellent hemocompatibility.

The binding ability of human serum albumin (HSA) on active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is one of the most important parameters in the early stages of drug discovery. In this study, an immobilized HSA-based tool was developed for the rapid and easy in vitro screening of API binding. The work explored the serious incompleteness in the identification of HSA used for in vitro screening published in the last five years.

Objectives: Depth of invasion (DOI) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) guides treatment and prognosis but lacks three-dimensional (3D) insight. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the feasibility and accuracy of Lugol's iodine-enhanced micro-computed tomography (CT) for the 3D measurement of DOI in OSCC samples.
Methodology: In total, 50 in vitro OSCC samples from Nanjing Stomatological Hospital (July 2022 to January 2024) were subjected to micro-CT imaging with a slice thickness of 50 μm following 3% Lugol iodine staining for 12 h, followed by pathological examination and staining.
