The reversible actuation of the [c2]daisy chain renders the formed supramolecular gel with acid/base-responsive switching between gel and monomer solution. The efficient switching process is attributed to the ring-sliding effect of the rotaxane in response to acid/base stimuli.The ring-inhibited hydrogen bonding stacking results in a nearly quantitatively disassembly of the gel network after addition of base which is hard to be realized by traditional heating strategy in hydrogen-bonding-supported gel.展开更多

Objectives: This study compared the clinical efficacy and safety of 30% SA peeling and IEG in the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris. Methods: Patients with moderate-to-severe acne vulgaris were randomized into 3 groups of 30 persons each, and treated with SA peel, or IEG, or SA combine with IEG (SA + IEG group). Evaluation of acne was done by effective rate and individual lesion counts. And the adverse effects and recurrence were recorded. Results: The SA + IEG group was better in clinical efficacy and treating noninflammatory and inflammatory lesions than that of single treatment group (P 0.05). Conclusion: 30% SA combined with IEG had a significant effect in the treatment of moderate-to-severe acne lesions.展开更多
