Classification of Excipients for Transdermal Drug Delivery System
Transdermal drug delivery system is a type of drug formulation that is absorbed into the body circulation through capillaries at a certain rate through the skin to produce drug effects. Transdermal drug delivery systems allow the drug to continuously diffuse through the skin, penetrate and absorb into the blood circulation, maintain stable blood concentrations for a long time, reduce the ...

Cold Stress
It is important for employers to know the wind chill temperature so that they can gauge workers’ exposure risk better and plan how to safely do the work. It is also important to monitor workers’ physical condition during tasks, especially new workers who may not be used to working in the cold, or workers returning after spending some time away from work. The National Oceanic and ...

ADC Cleavable Linker : Classification and Mechanism of Action
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), as emerging anticancer drugs, can deliver highly cytotoxic molecules directly to cancer cells to kill them. ADC is a monoclonal antibody covalently bound to cytotoxic chemical substances (payload) through linker. ADC linker plays a key role in the therapeutic effect of ADC, and its characteristics greatly affect the therapeutic index, pharmacodynamics and ...

What is the ICD code for HFpEF?
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is currently affecting over half of heart failure patients. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), two departments within the U.S. Federal Government’s Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), use the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) for coding ...

Antibody Drug Conjugates: "Biological Missiles" For Targeting Cancer Therapy
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) usually consist of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) covalently linked to cytotoxic drugs via chemical linkers. With high specific targeting ability and strong killing effect, it has achieved precise and efficient removal of cancer cells, and has become one of the hot spots in the development of anticancer drugs. In 2000, the FDA first approved the ADC drug Mylotarg ...

The Relationship Between Enzyme Function and Health
In the early 20th century, humans discovered vitamins, and then trace elements and minerals. It was only in the mid-1980s that humans realized the importance of enzymes. Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine Arthur Kornberg said: "For our lives, we can no longer find other substances as important as enzymes in nature." Enzymes control the entire body, and when enzymes function abnormally is ...

Nature: Why do you just want to lie down when you get sick?
When we feel uncomfortable, we tend to eat less, drink less, and exercise less. This is not unique to humans—most animals reduce these three behaviors when fighting infection. Recently, a new study pinpoints clusters of neurons that control these responses (uncomfortable behavior). By provoking immune responses in mice, the researchers demonstrated that specific cell populations in the ...

The Functions and Roles of Enzymes
Catalysis Enzymes are a class of biological catalysts. They govern many catalytic processes such as metabolism, nutrition, and energy conversion of organisms. Most of the reactions closely related to life processes are enzyme-catalyzed reactions. These properties of the enzyme enable the intricate process of material metabolism in the cell to proceed in an orderly manner, and to adapt material ...

CAR-T Cell Anti-Cancer Therapy Ushered in A Revolutionary Breakthrough!
Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) and T cell antigen receptor chimeric T cells (TCR-T) are currently the "top stream" in adoptive T cell tumor immunotherapy. In particular, CAR-T therapy, which has been approved by the FDA, is rewriting the treatment paradigm of some hematological tumors. However, adoptive T cell therapy remains of little success in solid tumors. The main reason is that ...

Hands Only CPR vs Mouth to Mouth
Many people who know about CPR, think of it as “mouth to mouth”. Many of us learned CPR in school, or for a job when we were younger. But did you learn about hands only CPR vs mouth to mouth? For many of us, the rescue breaths seemed like an integral part of reviving someone. However, medical professionals have found that when we look at hands only CPR vs mouth to mouth, the results ...

Development of a Bioartificial Vascular Pancreas
Abstract Transplantation of pancreatic islets has been shown to be effective, in some patients, for the long-term treatment of type 1 diabetes. However, transplantation of islets into either the portal vein or the subcutaneous space can be limited by insufficient oxygen transfer, leading to islet loss. Furthermore, oxygen diffusion limitations can be magnified when islet numbers are increased ...

Vitamins: Types and Their Functions
Vitamin A: Helps body growth and tissue repair, helps with eye health, fights bacteria to avoid infection, protects epithelial tissue health, and promotes bone and tooth development. Vitamin B1: Promotes the metabolism of carbohydrates, maintains a healthy nervous system, stabilizes appetite, stimulates growth and maintains good muscle condition. Vitamin B2: Promotes the metabolism of ...

Some Basics about Graphene
Graphene first appeared in the laboratory in 2004. At that time, two British scientists, Andre Geim and Prof Kostya Novoselov, discovered that they could get thinner and thinner graphite flakes in a very simple way. They peeled the graphite flakes from the graphite, and then glued the two sides of the flakes to a special tape. When the tape was peeled off, the graphite flakes were divided in two. ...

What Are the Health Benefits of Probiotics?
Probiotics are a type of beneficial bacteria that exist in the human gut itself. There are more than 100 trillion bacteria in the human gut, which are roughly divided into beneficial bacteria, intermediate bacteria and harmful bacteria. When the human body is healthy, the intestinal flora is in a balanced state, but when you have symptoms of constipation and diarrhea, it means that the number of ...

Special Genes May Affect the Level of Lipopolysaccharide in the Body’s Blood
Transfer of lipopolysaccharide from gram-negative bacteria into the systemic circulation of the body leads to the development of endotoxemia, which is detected in cardiometabolic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and obesity in addition to acute infections. Lipopolysaccharide is a virulence factor produced by bacteria, which often triggers systemic inflammation through the body's ...
