A factorial design was applied to evaluate the effect of formulation variables on physicochemical properties of poly(isobutylcyanoacrylate) nanoparticles. Formulation variables were dextran T40 or T70 and Pluronic F68 or Tween 20 acting as stabilizer and surfactant respectively, and three pH levels (2, 4 and 7). Nanoparticles possessed unimodal particle size distribution with significant effect of dextran, surfactant and pH. A wide range of molecular weight distribution was observed with significant effect of pH and dextran on average molecular weight. NMR studies revealed the presence of dextran, monomer and surfactants in the nanoparticles. Solid state surface analysis using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the presence of three chemical environments to the carbon envelope, O-C = O, C-O/C identical to N and C-C.

Background: Patients with heart failure frequently face the possibility of rehospitalization following an initial hospital stay, placing a significant burden on both patients and health care systems. Accurate predictive tools are crucial for guiding clinical decision-making and optimizing patient care. However, the effectiveness of existing models tailored specifically to the Chinese population is still limited.

Acalabrutinib (ACP) is a first-line treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia but suffers from poor and variable oral bioavailability due to its pH-dependent solubility, CYP3A4 metabolism, and P-gp efflux. Thus, the objective of this study was to improve the solubility and dissolution behaviour, in turn enhancing bioavailability, by formulating solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). ACP loaded SLNs (ACP-SLNs) were prepared via solvent-free hot emulsification followed by a double sonication process.

The liver stands out as one of the most frequent sites for distant metastasis in breast cancer cases. However, effective risk stratification tools for patients with breast cancer liver metastases (BCLM) are still lacking. We identified BCLM patients from the SEER database spanning from 2010 to 2016.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by impaired social communication and interactions, as well as constrained and repetitive manifestations of interests and behaviors. Various interventions at cognitive and behavioral levels aim to address impaired social communication and interaction in individuals with ASD. This study systematically explores the transferability of social training in individuals with ASD, guided by the conceptual model known as the FIELD framework (Function, Implement, Ecology, Level, and Durability).
