The objective of this study is to develop a simple biopolymer platform of mucoadhesive wafers that enables effective sublingual delivery and preservation of protein vaccines. The wafers were composed of a series of binary polymer blends of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and alginate (ALG). Varying the ratio between CMC and ALG resulted in wafers with different microstructure, mechanical properties, disintegration time, and release kinetics of model compounds. Wafers with high CMC content were highly mucoadhesive to sublingual mucosal tissue and could withstand extensive washing, leading to improved protein permeation into the tissue. On the other hand, wafers with high ALG content were not only mechanically robust, but also able to protect a model enzyme (β-galactosidase) against lyophilization and heat challenge. HIV gp140 protein loaded in wafers of the optimal composition could be stored and transported without cold chain, while maintaining antigen-specific immunogenicity after sublingual vaccination in mice. These findings established that the CMC/ALG binary blend polymer wafers have the potential to improve the sublingual delivery and storage stability of protein-based vaccines.The progress in advanced materials using nanoscale components can be conducted by an innovative idea involving combining nanotechnology approaches with supramolecular chemistry. This concept which is called self-assembly, is employed for formation of nanoscale self-assembled architectures with desirable properties. Self-assembly has emerged as a potent procedure for controlling the structure and characteristics of ensembles. Among self-assembled structures, polymersomes have revealed prodigious potential in drug delivery and development of smart nanomedicine due to their morphological similarities to cellular membranes and viral capsids. Moreover, their functional, tunable and stable membrane render them more advantageous to their lipid counter parts. Polymersomes have been used as different therapeutic carriers as drugs and imaging agents, as well as nanoreactors and artificial organelles. Here we review different basis of self-assembling polymersomes and their properties, the synthesis of various amphiphilic copolymers for vesicles preparation and potential applications of smart controlled release vesicles.The mammalian oviduct is a central organ for female reproduction as it is the site of fertilization and it actively transports the embryo to the uterus. The oviduct is responsive to ovarian steroids and thus, it is a potential target of endocrine disrupting chemicals. Parabens are antimicrobial compounds that are prevalently found in daily-used products. However, recent studies suggest that some parabens can impact female reproductive health. Yet, their effects on the oviduct are unknown. Here, we hypothesized that in vitro exposure of immortalized murine oviductal secretory epithelial (MOE) cells to methylparaben or propylparaben will result in disrupted cell cycle progression and increased cell death by dysregulation of molecular mechanisms that involve the cell cycle and apoptosis. Thus, we examined the effects of exposure to parabens on cell proliferation, cell cycle progression by flow cytometry, and mRNA levels of major cell cycle regulators and apoptotic factors, in MOE cells. Protein levels of estrogen and progesterone receptors were also quantified. https://www.selleckchem.com/ Differences between treatments and controls were analyzed by linear mixed model followed by Dunnett post-hoc tests. The results indicate that methylparaben and propylparaben selectively reduce MOE cellular proliferation and colony numbers, compared to controls. Additionally, paraben exposure selectively dysregulates the progression through the cell cycle and decreases the levels of cell cycle regulators, compared to controls. Last, paraben selectively alters the levels of progesterone receptor. Overall, these findings suggest that parabens can affect mouse oviductal secretory epithelial cell proliferation and survival. To evaluate the current ultrasound diagnostic criteria for non-viable pregnancy in the first trimester. We conducted a retrospective chart review involving 3 tertiary care institutions. Consecutive first-trimester ultrasound reports between January 2013 and June 2016 were reviewed. All first-trimester ultrasound examinations performed to assess pregnancy viability with adequate imaging or clinical follow-up were included. Inclusion criteria based on follow-up were adequate imaging to document ongoing intrauterine pregnancy or clinical follow-up demonstrating viability or non-viability. Data on mean sac diameter (MSD), yolk sac presence/diameter, embryo presence/length, presence of a heartbeat, and heart rate were collected. This was followed by a retrospective validation review of another consecutive cohort. Two hundred and forty-five examinations with a viable-pregnancy outcome and 301 examinations with a non-viable pregnancy outcome were reviewed. The main predictor of non-viable pregnancy was an MSD d a non-viable pregnancy. The aim of the study was to compare pregnancy outcomes with glycemic control, total increase in insulin requirement, and body weight gain in the women with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) or multiple daily injections (MDI). This was a single center retrospective observational study involving 209 pregnant Caucasian women. Among the study participants, 95 subjects were treated with MDI and 114 patients were using CSII therapy. The primary outcomes were pregnancy results, while secondary ones were HbA1c, increase in daily dose of insulin (DDI), and body weight gain. At baseline, the CSII users were older (P=0.0373), they were diagnosed with T1DM at a younger age (P=0.047), and more often planned pregnancy (P=0.032). A majority of the women were classified as class D, according to the White classification. Among the CSII users, a significantly higher proportion of the subjects in class B was noted than in the MDI users, with no differences in the proportncy and obstetric outcomes were not dependent on the mode of insulin delivery, but only on pregnancy planning and HbA1c in early pregnancy. Further studies are needed to explore more precise parameters describing both glycemic control in pregnant women as well as perinatal infant well-being. The course of pregnancy and obstetric outcomes were not dependent on the mode of insulin delivery, but only on pregnancy planning and HbA1c in early pregnancy. Further studies are needed to explore more precise parameters describing both glycemic control in pregnant women as well as perinatal infant well-being.
