Antithrombotic properties are induced in polymers used in vascular surgery by modifying their surface chemically by introducing heparin by means of quaternary bases. The authors have studied the interaction of heparin with quaternary polyvinylpyridinium bromide. Optimal conditions for obtaining this complex have been established. The complex is insoluble in distilled water but passes partly into solution in the presence of an excess of heparin or in physiologic solution. Using spectral methods and elementar analysis it was found that the interaction of heparin with quaternary polyvinylpyridinium gives rise to a polyelectrolyte complex in which heparin undergoes structural changes, probably pertaining to sulfonamide or sulfoether groups.

Objectives: To test feasibility of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with an endpoint of time at goal anticoagulation in children on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) randomized to receive bivalirudin vs. unfractionated heparin.
Design: Open-label pilot RCT (NCT03318393) carried out 2018-2021.

Organic precipitation of proteins with acetonitrile demonstrated complete protein recovery and improved chromatography of human plasma proteins. The separation of 25 μL of human plasma into 22 fractions on a QA SAX resin facilitated more effective protein discovery despite the limited sample size. Micro chromatography of plasma proteins over quaternary amine (QA) strong anion exchange (SAX) resins performed best, followed by diethylaminoethyl (DEAE), heparin (HEP), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and propyl sulfate (PS) resins.

In this study, spherical silica with pore size varied from 30 to 200 Å was synthesized by pseudomorphic transformation at atmospheric pressure. 40-80 Å silica particles with a narrow pore distribution were obtained by using quaternary amine cationic surfactants and different kinds of swelling agents, including polypropylene glycol, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene, alkanes, and alkanols. Alkyl imidazolium ionic liquid surfactants were used to synthesize large pore size distribution silica spheres with pore sizes in the range of 110-200 Å.

Oleanolic acid is an active ingredient from natural products with anti-breast cancer activity. However, the poor solubility in water and low bioavailability have limited its effectiveness in clinic. To improve the anticancer activity of oleanolic acid, we synthesized a novel oleanolic quaternary ammonium (QDT), which, driven by electrostatic interactions, was introduced into heparin and coated with chitosan to obtain a QDT/heparin/chitosan nanoaggregate (QDT/HEP/CS NAs).
