A new ion-pair HPLC method coupled with evaporative light-scattering detection (ELSD) for the simultaneous determination of clodronate and its partial esters has been developed. The simultaneous chromatographic separation was achieved on a reversed-phase C8 column with a gradient system and butylamine as an ion-pair reagent. This method provides good enough reproducibility and sensitivity for in vitro determinations of clodronate and its ester derivatives. The method is applied for hydrolysis studies of clodronate monoesters which have been described as possible prodrugs of clodronate.

Background: Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion disrupts plasma membrane integrity and induces various types of programmed cell death. The ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) proteins, particularly AAA-ATPase Vps4a (vacuolar protein sorting 4a), play an essential role in the surveillance of membrane integrity. However, the role of ESCRT proteins in the context of cardiac injury remains unclear.

Frequent and severe occurrences of harmful algal blooms increasingly threaten human health by the release of microcystins (MCs). Urgent attention is directed toward managing MCs, as evidenced by rising HAB-related do not drink/do not boil advisories due to unsafe MC levels in drinking water. UV/chlorine treatment, in which UV light is applied simultaneously with chlorine, showed early promise for effectively degrading MC-LR to values below the World Health Organization's guideline limits.

Using -rhizobia- interaction networks, we address first the soil invasion success of , and second, we report either -rhizobia partnership should form an isolated module within the symbiosis interaction network. Different indexes were used to determine model invasion success and the network topology. Our results indicated that invasion decreased soil microbial biomass, basal respiration, and enzymatic activities.

Background: Sudden gains are large symptom improvements between consecutive therapy sessions. They have been shown to occur in randomised controlled trials of internet-delivered psychological interventions, but little is known about their occurrence when such treatments are delivered in routine clinical practice.
Objective: This study examined the occurrence of sudden gains in a therapist-guided internet-delivered Cognitive Therapy intervention for social anxiety disorder (iCT-SAD) delivered in the UK NHS talking therapies for anxiety and depression (formerly known as IAPT services).

[Purpose] This study aimed to identify factors that inhibit the social activities of adult daycare users. [Participants and Methods] Based on participation in social activities, we categorized adult daycare users into two groups; socially active and inactive. Using a questionnaire, the socially inactive group were surveyed for their reasons for non-participation in social activities.
