Injectable Polyethylene Glycol Hydrogel for Islet Encapsulation: an in vitro and in vivo Characterization.
An injection of hydrogel-encapsulated islets that controls blood glucose levels over long term would provide a much needed alternative treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). To this end, we tested the feasibility of using an injectable polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogel as a scaffold for islet encapsulation. Encapsulated islets cultured in vitro for 6 days showed excellent cell viabilit...
متن کاملPolyethylene Glycol 3350 With Electrolytes Versus Polyethylene Glycol 4000 for Constipation: A Randomized, Controlled Trial
OBJECTIVE The long-term efficacy and safety of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in constipated children are unknown, and a head-to-head comparison of the different PEG formulations is lacking. We aimed to investigate noninferiority of PEG3350 with electrolytes (PEG3350 + E) compared to PEG4000 without electrolytes (PEG4000). METHODS In this double-blind trial, children aged 0.5 to 16 years with cons...
متن کاملEntrapped chemically synthesized gold nanoparticles combined with polyethylene glycol and chloroquine diphosphate as an improved antimalarial drug
Objective(s): Drug delivery is an engineering technology to control the release and delivery of therapeutic agents to target organs, tissues, and cells. Metallic nanoparticles, such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have exceptional properties which enable efficient drug transport into different cell types with reduced side effects and cytotoxicity to other tissues.Materials and Methods: AuNPs were...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of polyethylene glycol dehydrogenase involved in the bacterial metabolism of polyethylene glycol.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) dehydrogenase in crude extracts of a PEG 20,000-utilizing mixed culture was purified 24 times by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, solubilization with laurylbetaine, and chromatography with diethylamino-ethyl-cellulose, hydroxylapatite, and Sephadex G-200. The purified enzyme was confirmed to be homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresi...
متن کاملEthylene glycol and polyethylene glycol catabolism by a sewage bacterium.
Bioconsequences Section, Unilever Research Port Sunlight Laboratory, Port Sunlight, Wirral, Merseyside L62 4XN, U.K. Polyethylene glycols are an important group of polymers used in the manufacture of explosives, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. In addition, the polyoxyethylene group is the hydrophilic head group of non-ionic surfactants such as the alcohol ethoxylates used in detergent formulatio...
