Effect of ionization of drug on drug solubilization in SMEDDS prepared using Capmul MCM and caprylic acid

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ionization of drug on drug solubilization in SMEDDS(self-microemulsifying drug delivery system) prepared using Capmul MCM and caprylic acid. Solubilization capacity of blank SMEDDS dispersions for danazol,indomethacin and haloperidol as model drugs was determined. Based on the outcomes of solubilization capacity study, drug-loaded SMEDDS formulations were prepared and subjected to dispersion/precipitation study and droplet size analysis. Blank SMEDDS dispersions exhibited the highest solubilization capacity for haloperidol followed by indomethacin and danazol. Furthermore, the solubilization of the three drugs in blank SMEDDS dispersions was explained by a modified mathematical model. Dispersion/precipitation studies indicate that drug-loaded SMEDDS formulations exhibited superiority in solubilizing the drugs in comparison to their respective drug powder. In addition, indomethacin and haloperidol were found to reduce the droplet size of the microemulsions while danazol did not affect droplet size formation for drug-loaded SMEDDS formulations. These findings suggest that ionization of drug affects drug solubilization, droplet size formation, drug loading and drug dispersion/precipitation profiles for the SMEDDS formulations.

Virtual straightening of scraper conveyor based on the position and attitude solution of industrial robot model

The movement of the floating connecting mechanism between a hydraulic support and scraper conveyor is space movement;thus,when the hydraulic support pushes the scraper conveyor,there is an error between the actual distance of the scraper conveyor and the theoretical moving distance.As a result,the scraper conveyor cannot obtain the straightness requirement.Therefore,the movement law of the floating connecting mechanism between the hydraulic support and scraper conveyor is analyzed and programmed into the Unity3D to realize accurate pushing of the scraper conveyor via hydraulic support.The Coal Seam?Equipment Joint Virtual Straightening System is established,and a straightening method based on the motion law of a floating connection is proposed as the default method of the system.In addition,a straightening simulation of the scraper conveyor was performed on a complex coal seam floor,the results demonstrate that the average straightening error of the scraper conveyor is within 2-8 mm,and is in direct proportion to the fluctuation of the coal seam floor in the strike of the seam with high accuracy,the straightness of scraper conveyor is more affected by the subsidence terrain during straightening than by the bulge terrain.And some conclusions are verified by experiment.Based on the verification of the relevant conclusions,a comparison and analysis of Longwall Automation Steering Committee(LASC)straightening technology and default straightening method in the simulation system shows that the straightness accuracy of LASC straightening technology under complex floor conditions is slightly less than that of the default straightening method in the proposed system.

泛素化途径在奶牛乳脂生成过程中的调控作用

泛素化途径是真核细胞中主要的蛋白质降解途径,其中泛素–蛋白酶体途径主要降解细胞质中的蛋白,溶酶体途径主要降解细胞膜蛋白。研究表明,泛素化途径在奶牛乳腺上皮细胞脂肪酸合成过程中起着关键的调控作用。在脂肪酸摄取过程中,泛素化途径调控异常可导致细胞膜上脂肪酸转运蛋白的泛素化降解受阻,使脂肪酸转运增强,进而增加奶牛乳脂的生成。本文综述了泛素化途径在奶牛乳脂生成过程中对相关蛋白的调控作用,以期为奶牛乳脂性状后续相关研究提供参考和新的思路。

Ligand enabled none-oxidative decarbonylation of aliphatic aldehydes

Decarbonylation of aldehydes is a basic organic transformation, which has been developed for more than six-decade. However, as comparing to well-studied aromatic aldehydes, fewer examples for catalytic decarbonylation of aliphatic aldehydes were reported, mainly on simple or special substrates.For α-bulky or highly functionalized ones, stoichiometric Rh(I) were usually required for decent yields.Herein, we present a rare example of Ir(I)-catalyzed direct decarbonylation of α-quaternary aldehydes with broad substrate scope and good functional group compatibility via judicious selection of ligand. Theα-chirality is memorized in this decarbonylation process. In addition, we report a broad-spectrum decarbonylation of α-secondary and α-tertiary aldehydes containing multifunctional groups with an improved Rh(I)/DPPP recipe. Finally, we realized selective decarbonylation of α-tertiary aldehydes in the presence of α-quaternary one via the reactivity differences.

Haplotype-resolved and chromosome-level genome assembly of Colorado potato beetle

As the most important non-cereal food crop,potatoes are a staple food for 1.3 billion people(Stokstad,2019).However,these cultivated potatoes are challenged with multiple biotic stresses(i.e.,pathogens and pests),some of which can evade host resistance,leading to a serious dampening of potato yield.One of these pests is the Colorado potato beetle(hereafter referred to as CPB,Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say).CPB is a member of the order Coleoptera,and originated in the southwestern United States and Mexico(Alyokhin et al.,2008).

The “1-3-7” Approach to Malaria Surveillance and Response--Henan Province, China, 2012−2018

What is already known about this topic?The“1-3-7”approach to malaria surveillance and response was a key measure for malaria elimination in China and was first introduced into the World Health Organization(WHO)as an international guideline for malaria surveillance and response in 2018.What is added by this report?The“1-3-7”approach was well implemented in Henan Province from 2012−2018.Over this study period,a total of 1,294 malaria cases were detected and reported,and all cases were diagnosed and reported within 1 day with 99.23%(1,284/1,294)of cases were investigated within 3 days.In addition,93.7%(1,212/1,294)of foci were investigated and vector control was implemented within 7 days at all residual non-active foci to prevent further spread.What are the implications for public health practice?The“1-3-7”controlling pattern would be an effective and approachable method for implementation especially in malaria-eliminating countries and regions,but the interval from symptom onset to diagnosis cannot be ignored.Thus,the roles and responsibilities that all actors involved in the health sector must be specified too.

Effect of GR24 Stereoisomers on Plant Development in Arabidopsis

Dear Editor,Strigolactones （SLs） are a group of carotenoid-derived terpenoid lactones with similar structures. They can promote symbiotic interactions of plants with soil microbes （Akiyama et al., 2010）, stimulate the germination of parasitic weeds Striga and Orobanche （Cook et al., 1966; Johnson et al., 1976）, and regulate plant growth and development, including inhibition of shoot （tiller） outgrowth （Gomez-Roldan et al., 2008; Umehara et al., 2008）, suppression of hypocotyl elongation in Arabidopsis （Scaffidi et al., 2014）, and regulation of root architecture （Koltai, 2011）.
