Application and prospect of antimonene: A new two-dimensional nanomaterial in cancer theranostics.

With the rise of two-dimensional nanomaterials in medicine, finding suitable materials has become our top priority. Since the first report of antimonene in 2015, due to its excellent physical and chemical properties, it has gradually attracted widespread attention, including its application prospects in cancer treatment. In this paper, the preparation, stability and infrared degradability of antimonene, as well as its experimental examples in tumor treatment in recent years are reviewed, the latest research results are listed and summarized, the advantages and existing problems are analyzed, and the future of antimonene in tumor therapy is prospected.

Comparative Studies on Polysaccharides, Triterpenoids, and Essential Oil from Fermented Mycelia and Cultivated Sclerotium of a Medicinal and Edible Mushroom, .

, an important medicinal and edible fungus, is well known in East Asia. The main active components are water-soluble polysaccharides (WPS) and triterpenoids. Due to the growing market demand, long cultivation period, and consumption of pine trunk during cultivation, alternative methods for producing or its active components should be investigated.

[Cutaneous permeation kinetics and pharmacodynamics of topical lidocaine gel in rat].

Aim: To study the cutaneous permeation kinetics and pharmacodynamics of lidocaine gel.

Methods: The concentration of lidocaine in dermis following topical application in rats was determined by the cutaneous microdialysis technique and related parameters were calculated; the pharmacodynamics of the gel was evaluated by electric stimulation method with EMLA (eutectic mixture of local anesthetics) cream as a control.

Results: The peak of percutaneous absorption kinetic profile of lidocaine gel across rat skin occurred at 1.
