The in situ single-pass perfusion method in an individual rat was developed to discuss the solvent drag in drug intestinal absorption without the individual differences. In this method the apparent water influx (influx') was used as a measure of solvent drag in the same manner as the previous paper. Consequently the sieving coefficients of salicylic acid and antipyrine in one rat are not significantly different from one but in the other are significantly smaller than one, resulting in 0.6-0.7 in average. And it was also shown that the reflection from the membrane in the solvent drag can be detected more precisely and efficiently by this method than the recirculating method in the previous paper. The D2O absorption clearance (CLD2O) was equal to net water flux as estimated theoretically when the D2O concentration in lumen was equal to that in plasma, indicating that D2O can be absorbed by water absorption even in the absence of the concentration gradient. Estimating the real water influx from the net water flux obtained under such condition, the minimal contribution ratio of the solvent drag to the total absorption clearance of salicylic acid and antipyrine was calculated to be approximately 12%.

Self-organized contact line instabilities (CLI) of a macroscopic liquid crystal (LC) droplet can be an ingenious pathway to generate a large collection of miniaturized LC drops. For example, when a larger drop of volatile solvent (e.g.

In recent years, the paint and coatings industry has shifted away from traditional resin formulations that require high concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to achieve the desired rheological performance and sustainability targets. One approach to eliminate or reduce VOCs in paint and coating formulations while maintaining the final performance is to disperse stimuli-responsive polymer latex particles in water. The chemistry and architecture of these particles have been engineered such that the suspension rheology changes in response to the pH changes.

The technique of dialysis has seen enormous advancements over the past fifty years, evolving from an initial phase, primarily based on diffusion through a semipermeable membrane to the current preference for high-efficiency convection, involving the removal of several liters of ultrafiltrate. Diffusive dialysis, due to its relative simplicity in execution, has allowed the treatment of millions of individuals with ESRD, ensuring them a certain quality of life. However, it is not considered optimal in terms of survival and has some complications inherent to the uremic state.

Percutaneous delivery is explored as alternative pathway for addressing the drawbacks associated with the oral administration of otherwise efficacious drugs. Short of breaching the skin by physical means, the preference goes to formulation strategies that augment passive diffusion across the skin. One such strategy lies in the use of skin penetration and permeation enhancers notably of hydroxylated solvents like propylene glycol (PG), ethanol (EtOH), and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (Transcutol, TRC).
