The removal rate of a drug by a hemodialyzer is very important to determine the dosage of the drug to a patient without kidney function. Mass transfer of a drug in a hemodialyzer and a patient's body is more complicated than that of ordinary solutes because most drugs are adsorbed by serum albumin. In this paper, we reveal the adsorption characteristics of five clinical antibiotics onto human serum albumin (HSA) with new experimental methods and discuss the influence of adsorption characteristics on removal of antibiotics by hemodialyzers using mathematical models. The adsorption equilibrium of the antibiotics with HSA followed the Langmuir isotherm. Adsorption rates of the antibiotics onto HSA were measured using a constant-flow stirred tank reactor with an ultrafiltration module. A kinetic model for antibiotic transfer in a hemodialyzer and a patient's body was derived with the parameters obtained by the above experiments. Validity of the model was confirmed by dialysis experiments using hemodialyzers and antibiotic solutions including HSA. Removal estimation of a drug by hemodialysis therapy is feasible by the model with the parameters of the Langmuir isotherm for the drug.

Background: Neoadjuvant therapy is recommended for treating resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); however, its appropriate use in patients with resectable PDAC remains debatable.

Objective: This study aimed to identify independent poor prognostic factors and evaluate the clinical significance of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable PDAC.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed consecutive patients diagnosed with resectable PDAC at our institute between January 2003 and December 2022.

A comprehensive strategy, including spectroscopic, molecular simulation, proteomics, and bioinformatics techniques, was employed to investigate a novel triazole, 5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole, its interactions with high-abundance blood proteins, and identification of low-abundance proteins. The binding constants and thermodynamic parameters of the triazole to two high-abundance blood globular proteins, human serum albumin, and human immunoglobulin G (HIgG), were obtained by spectroscopic techniques and computational chemistry. The two-dimensional gel electrophoresis in combination with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was employed to isolate and identify differentially expressed low-abundance proteins in human blood serum samples following exposure to the triazole.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancers occurring globally. Surgery for CRC often extends hospital stays due to complications, as patients must meet nutritional needs and regain mobility before discharge. Longer hospital stays, required for extended monitoring and care, can increase the risk of further complications, creating a cycle where extended stays lead to more issues.

BSA/PEI/GOD modified cellulose nanocrystals for construction of hydrogel-based flexible glucose sensors for sweat detection.

With the miniaturization, integration and intelligence of sweat electrochemical sensor technology, hydrogel flexible sensors have demonstrated immense potential in the field of real-time and non-invasive personal health monitoring. However, it remains a challenge to integrate excellent mechanical properties, self-healing properties, and electrochemical sensing capabilities into the preparation of hydrogel-based flexible sensors. The utilization of CBPG (cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)@bovine serum albumin (BSA)@polyethyleneimine (PEI) glucose oxidase (GOD) nanomaterial) as both an enhancing phase and sensor probe within a hydrogel matrix, with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) serving as the primary network constituent, has been proposed as a non-invasive technique for monitoring trace glucose levels in sweat.

To investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of rituximab (RTX) in children with calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) resistant steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS). A retrospective case analysis was conducted. Thirteen children with CNI resistant SRNS who were regularly treated with RTX (375 mg/m per dose (maximum dose 500 mg), 1 dose per week, a total of 4 doses) in Department of Nephrology, Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 2016 to December 2023 were enrolled.
