A New Application of Balloon Catheter in TAE

We report a new embolization method with cobra catheter and balloon catheter in TAE for aneurysms and arterioportal fistula. Embolization for one aneurysm and one arterioportal fistula was performed using a cobra catheter, and the target vessel was temporarily blocked using a balloon catheter during the intervention. 2 cases of aneurysms and arterioportal fistula were treated successfully without coils reflux. Application of both cobra catheter with balloon catheter in TAE is effective without complication.

Special Issue on New Trends in Theory and Applications of Complex Control Systems

Complexity is one of the leading features of modem control systems. It is caused by the complex properties of controlled plants and the varied requirements in controller designs. In dealing with the control problems with complexity, in the past two decades, a lot of papers have been published that reported fruitful results on different theoretical backgrounds and with different methodologies, such as differential geometry-based design methods, hybrid system theory, switching control, neural network-based intelligent control, etc.

NEW INQUIRY INTO THE APPLICATION OF CASE TOOLS TO CIM PROCESS

There is an urgent necessity to introduce the life cycle development method and a Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) environment to support the development of a Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) system. In this paper, we present several ideas while inquiring how to apply CASE tools to CIM process effectively, and propose five proper applicable paradigms to enhance the possibility of applications that the CIM process may make better use of CASE tools.

Recommendations for articles and reviews in colorectal cancerrelated research at the year-end of 2023

As peer reviewers of the World Journal of Gastroenterology,our weekly routine involves immersing ourselves in the newly published issue,particularly focusing on the realm of colorectal cancer(CRC)research.We diligently sift through various contributions,ranging from comprehensive reviews to original articles and other scholarly works.Through meticulous examination,we discern the most notable papers,delving into each with careful scrutiny to distill their merits and shortcomings.Undoubtedly,this undertaking demands considerable time and effort.Yet,it stands as an indispensable pursuit,affording us a profound comprehension of the latest breakthroughs in CRC research.Moreover,these meticulously curated selections furnish readers with invaluable resources,serving as enduring references for the nuanced exploration of this dynamic field.

Nonlinear optical and optical limiting properties of new structures of organic nonlinear optical materials for photonic applications

The nonlinear optical （NLO） and optical limiting （OL） properties of three new structures of organic NLO guest host Poly（N-vinylcarbozole）/disperse orange 3 （PVK/DO3）, PVK/disperse orange 13 （PVK/DO13）. and PVK/disperse orange 25 （PVK/DO25） as a solution at different concentrations and as a thin-film sample are studied using continuous wave z-scan system at 532 nm. The open-aperture z-scan data of the NLO materials in the solution and thin-film samples displayed two-photon and saturable absorptions, respectively. The PVK/DO13 exhibites the largest and best values of the nonlinearities, such as n2, β, X（3） compared with those of PVK/DO3 and PVK/DO25. This nonlinearity increases as the concentration increases. Tile results indicate that these NLO materials are good candidates for optical switching and OL devices.

InN-Based Ill-Nitrides; A New Emerging Material System for Application in Optical Communications

The fact that InN has a direct bandgap of 0.75eV enables InN-based nitrides devices to cover the wavelength range from UV region to 1.8μm, therefore, emerging as a new material system for optical communication applications.

Preparation of some new arylseleno compounds and application in the oxidation of olefins

Fifteen pyridine and substituted benzene diselenides,seleninic acids and seleninic anhydrides have been synthesized.Among them,4,4'-dipyridinediselenide,bis(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)diselenide, 2,4-dimethoxyphenyl seleninic acid,2-pyridineseleninic acid,2-pyridineseleninic anhydride,4-pyridine- seleninic anhydride,2-nitrophenyl seleninic anhydride and 4-nitrophenyl seleninic anhydride were new compounds.Their regioselective oxidation or dehydrogenation of β-pinene,3β-benzoyloxycholest- 5-ene and androstan-3-one have been studied and compared.2-Pyridineseleninic anhydride is a more efficient oxidant than the others;most of the substituted benzeneseleno derivatives did not give the expected products.

Brief introduction for application of USA authorized generic drugs

The authorized generic drugs(AGs)are drug products marketed in the USA with the permission of sponsor or holder of the approved brand name drug(usually refers to an innovator drug).Other than the fact that it does not have the brand name on its label,it is the exact same drug product as the brand name product.In China,for those published comparator products of generic drug products,the market availability is the first question to affect the smooth development and investigation for the process of the re-evaluation of the generic drugs.In the present paper,we systemically elaborated the definition,classification and relevant background of the AGs,as well as their differences to the generic drugs.At the same time,by taking drug products,which are adopted in the Chinese comparator product directories for generic medicinal products(first batch)and sourced from USA orange book,as examples,we introduced the searching process of the AGs with the integration of FDA listing of AGs,the USA orange book and the USA national drug code directory.It can facilitate the domestic and foreign pharmaceutical enterprises to search,identify and purchase the corresponding AGs of the designated comparator product when question emerges to its market availability.

An Integral Representation for the Weighted Geometric Mean and Its Applications

By virtue of Cauchy’s integral formula in the theory of complex functions,the authors establish an integral representation for the weighted geometric mean,apply this newly established integral representation to show that the weighted geometric mean is a complete Bernstein function,and find a new proof of the well-known weighted arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.

Recent advances in the translation of drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics science for drug discovery and development

Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics(DMPK) is an important branch of pharmaceutical sciences.The nature of ADME(absorption,distribution,metabolism,excretion) and PK(pharmacokinetics) inquiries during drug discovery and development has evolved in recent years from being largely descriptive to seeking a more quantitative and mechanistic understanding of the fate of drug candidates in biological systems.Tremendous progress has been made in the past decade,not only in the characterization of physiochemical properties of drugs that influence their ADME,target organ exposure,and toxicity,but also in the identification of design principles that can minimize drug-drug interaction(DDI) potentials and reduce the attritions.The importance of membrane transporters in drug disposition,efficacy,and safety,as well as the interplay with metabolic processes,has been increasingly recognized.Dramatic increases in investments on new modalities beyond traditional small and large molecule drugs,such as peptides,oligonucleotides,and antibody-drug conjugates,necessitated further innovations in bioanalytical and experimental tools for the characterization of their ADME properties.In this review,we highlight some of the most notable advances in the last decade,and provide future perspectives on potential major breakthroughs and innovations in the translation of DMPK science in various stages of drug discovery and development.

Development of the generic drug industry in the US after the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984

The key events in the development of the US generic drug industry after the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984 are systematically reviewed,including the process of approval for generic drugs,bioequivalence issues including“switchability”,bioequivalence for complicated dosage forms,patent extension,generic drug safety,generic substitution and low-cost generics.The backlog in generic review,generic drug user fees,and“quality by design”for generic drugs is also discussed.The evolution of the US generic drug industry after the Hatch-Waxman Act in 1984 has afforded several lessons of great benefit to other countries wishing to establish or re-establish a domestic generic drug industry.
