We focused on the therapeutic effect of the stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 and how its action is related to nitric oxide (NO) in persistent colocutaneous fistula in rats (at 5 cm from anus, colon defect of 5 mm, skin defect of 5 mm); this peptide has been shown to be safe in clinical trials for inflammatory bowel disease (PL14736) and safe for intestinal anstomosis therapy. BPC 157 (10...

The introduction of the 157-nm wavelength for next-generation optical lithography has created a need for new soft (polymeric) or hard (quartz) pellicle materials optimized for that wavelength. The design and development of ultratransparent fluoropolymers suitable for 157-nm soft-pellicle applications has produced several promising candidate materials with absorbances <0.03/μm to achieve pellicl...
