A simple gag has been designed and tested which enables the intragastric intubation of the guinea pig by one person without the use of sedation or light anaesthesia. The system described was used successfully for the daily dosing of materials to 7 guinea-pigs for 14 days without discomfort, aspiration or any injury to the upper gastro-intestinal tract.

The elbow is one of the most commonly dislocated joints. Although simple dislocations of the elbow usually resolve with conservative management, certain patients can experience residual chronic instability. Posterolateral rotational instability accounts for approximately 80% of elbow chronic instability cases.

We report the development of peptide-glycosaminoglycan hydrogels as injectable biomaterials for load-bearing soft tissue repair. The hydrogels are injectable as a liquid for clinical delivery, rapidly form a gel , and mimic the osmotic swelling behaviour of natural tissue. We used a new model to demonstrate their application as a nucleus augmentation material for the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration.

Well-dispersed Au and Ag nanoparticles (NPs) have been immobilized on a zinc imidazolate metal-organic framework, Zn(mim), using the "one-pot" method and tested as catalysts in ammonia borane hydrolysis. The AuNPs@Zn(mim) and AgNPs@Zn(mim) materials were characterized by FTIR, XRD, ICP-OES, TGA, BET, SEM, and TEM. The AgNPs@Zn(mim) catalyst showed a high yield (98.

Purpose: The study explored the enhanced skin moisturizing capabilities and moisture retention effects achieved by forming a polyion complex using sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG), specifically chondroitin sulfate (CS), and amino acids (AA) such as glutamine (Q) and arginine (R). The overall hydration effect of this CS-AA complex was examined.
Methods: After analyzing the CS-AA polyion complex structure using spectroscopic methods, the ex vivo moisture retention ability was assessed under dry conditions using porcine skin samples.

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including hyaluronic acid (HA), chondroitin sulfate (CS)/dermatan sulfate (DS), heparan sulfate (HS)/heparin (HP), and keratan sulfate (KS), play pivotal roles in living organisms. Generally, GAGs are analyzed after enzymatic digestion into unsaturated or saturated disaccharides. Due to high structural similarity between disaccharides, however, separation during analysis is challenging.
