| 2 | The complexation of insulin with sodium N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]-caprylate for enhanced oral delivery:Effects of concentration, ratio, and pH显示文摘Permeation enhancers(PEs),such as N-[8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino]-caprylate(SNAC),have been reported to improve the oral absorption of various macromolecules.However,the bioavailabilities of these formulations are quite low and variable due to the influences of enzymes,pH and other gastrointestinal barriers.In this study,we revealed that SNAC could interact with insulin to form tight complexes in a specific concentration(insulin≥ 40μg/mL)-,ratio(SNAC/insulin≥ 20:1)-and pH(≥ 6.8)-dependent manner,thus contributing to a significantly high efficacy of oral insulin delivery.Specifically,absorption mechanism studies revealed that the SNAC/insulin complexes were internalized into the cells by passive diffusion and remained intact when transported in the cytosol.Furthermore,the complexes accelerated the exocytosis of insulin to the basolateral side,thereby enhancing its intestinal mucosal permeability.Eudragit;S100-entrapped SNAC/insulin microspheres were then prepared and exhibited an apparent permeability coefficient(P;) that was 6,6-fold higher than that of the insulin solution.In diabetic rats,hypoglycemic activity was sustained for more than 10 h after the microspheres were loaded into entericcoated capsules.Further pharmacokinetic studies revealed an approximately 6.3% oral bioavailability in both the fasted and fed states,indicating a negligible food effect.Collectively,this study provides insight into the interaction between PEs and payloads and presents an SNAC-based oral insulin delivery system that has high oral bioavailability and patient-friendly medication guidance. | Huixian Weng Lefei Hu Lei Hu Yihan Zhou Aohua Wang Ning Wang Wenzhe Li Chunliu Zhu Shiyan Guo Miaorong Yu Yong Gan | 2022 | Chinese Chemical Letters2022,33,4: | 0 |
| 3 | Impact of climate change on dengue fever epidemics in South and Southeast Asian settings:A modelling study显示文摘The potential for dengue fever epidemic due to climate change remains uncertain in tropical areas.This study aims to assess the impact of climate change on dengue fever transmission in four South and Southeast Asian settings.We collected weekly data of dengue fever incidence,daily mean temperature and rainfall from 2012 to 2020 in Singapore,Colombo,Selangor,and Chiang Mai.Projections for temperature and rainfall were drawn for three Shared Socioeconomic Pathways(SSP126,SSP245,and SSP585)scenarios.Using a disease transmission model,we projected the dengue fever epidemics until 2090s and determined the changes in annual peak incidence,peak time,epidemic size,and outbreak duration.A total of 684,639 dengue fever cases were reported in the four locations between 2012 and 2020.The projected change in dengue fever transmission would be most significant under the SSP585 scenario.In comparison to the 2030s,the peak incidence would rise by 1.29 times in Singapore,2.25 times in Colombo,1.36 times in Selangor,and>10 times in Chiang Mai in the 2090s under SSP585.Additionally,the peak time was projected to be earlier in Singapore,Colombo,and Selangor,but be later in Chiang Mai under the SSP585 scenario.Even in a milder emission scenario of SSP126,the epidemic size was projected to increase by 5.94%,10.81%,12.95%,and 69.60%from the 2030se2090s in Singapore,Colombo,Selangor,and Chiang Mai,respectively.The outbreak durations in the four settings were projected to be prolonged over this century under SSP126 and SSP245,while a slight decrease is expected in 2090s under SSP585.The results indicate that climate change is expected to increase the risk of dengue fever transmission in tropical areas of South and Southeast Asia.Limiting greenhouse gas emissions could be crucial in reducing the transmission of dengue fever in the future. | Yawen Wang Shi Zhao Yuchen Wei Kehang Li Xiaoting Jiang Conglu Li Chao Ren Shi Yin Janice Ho Jinjun Ran Lefei Han Benny Chung-ying Zee Ka Chun Chong | 2023 | Infectious Disease Modelling2023,8,3: | 0 |
| 4 | Preliminary Evaluation of Hemodynamic Effects of Fontan Palliation on Renal Artery Using Computational Fluid Dynamics显示文摘Background:The assessment of renal function is important to the prognosis of patients needing Fontan palliation due to the reconstructed compromised circulation.To know the relationship between the kidney perfusion and hemodynamic characteristics during surgical design could reduce the risk of acute kidney injury(AKI)and the postoperative complications.However,the issue is still unsolved because the current clinical evaluation methods are unable to predict the hemodynamic changes in renal artery(RA).Methods:We reconstructed a three-dimensional(3D)vascular model of a patient requiring Fontan palliation.The technique of computational fluid dynamics(CFD)was utilized to explore the changes of RA hemodynamics under different possible blood flow rates.The relationship between the kidney perfusion and hemodynamic characteristics was investigated.Results:The calculated results indicated the declined tendency of the pressure and pressure drop as the flow rate decreased.When the flow rate decreased to two-thirds of its baseline,both the pressure of left renal artery(LRA)and the pressure of right renal artery(RRA)dipped below 50%,and the pressure of RRA fell more quickly than that of LRA.Uneven distribution of WSS was observed on the trunk of RA,and the lowest WSS was found at the distal of RA.The average WSS in RA dropped to around 50%as the flow rate reached one-third of its baseline.Conclusions:As a promising approach,CFD can be utilized to quantitatively evaluate the hemodynamic characteristics of RA and contribute to offsetting the drawbacks of clinical assessments of renal function,to help realize better prognosis for the patients with Fontan palliation. | Jinlong Liu Jing Shi Weiru Luo Zhirong Tong Lefei Yang Peixuan Sun Tianyi Li Jun Du Qian Wang | 2023 | Congenital Heart Disease2023,18,1: | 0 |
