The aim of this work was to develop a new in vitro lipolysis-permeation model predict the vivo absorption fenofibrate self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDSs). More specifically, intestinal lipolysis combined with mucus-PVPA (Phospholipid Vesicle-based Permeation Assay) permeability model. Biosimilar mucus (BM) added surface PVPA barriers closer simulate mucosa. SNEDDSs for which ph...

Mycoplasma gallisepticum is an economically important pathogen of poultry worldwide. Yet the characteri­ sation of M. gallisepticum field strains present in southern Africa has not previously been reported. We characterised various M. gallisepticum genotypes within the region and highlight the unique differences between two genotypes found in South Africa and Zimbabwe. PCR targeting a partial r...

Penetration potential of vesicles destined for trans(dermal) administration remains to be of great interests both in respect to drug therapy and cosmetic treatment. This study investigated the applicability of the phospholipid vesicle-based permeation assay (PVPA) as a novel in vitro skin barrier model for screening purposes in preformulation studies. Various classes of liposomes containing hyd...

A low friction coefficient and high bearing capacity can improve the service life of implants in human body. In this study, we firstly investigate mechanical properties inorganic thermal oxide coatings on titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). Tribological experiments were performed for different tribo-pairs under uniform conditions. The coating Ti6Al4V formed at 300℃ was found to have excellent tribologica...

Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) composed of polymer or blend is a vital element in PEM fuel cell that allows proton transport and serves as barrier between oxygen. Understanding the microscopic phase behavior blends very crucial to design alternative cost-effective proton-conducting materials. In this study, mesoscale morphologies Nafion/poly(1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole) (Nafion-PVTri) Nafion/pol...

INTRODUCTION ket structure can be maintained concurrent with a patent system. The first is public perception. This paper examines the issues surrounding The patent is not viewed as government regulathe patenting of life forms, specifically the social tion with a purpose, but as a fundamental part of and private costs and benefits of the Plant Varithe institution of private property; not as the ...

Chiral MnIII (salen) complex supported on modified ZPS-PVPA (zirconium poly(styrenephenylvinylphosphonate)) and ZPS-IPPA (zirconium poly(styrene-isopropenyl phosphonate)) were prepared using –CH2Cl as a reactive surface modifier by a covalent grafting method. The supported catalysts showed higher chiral induction (ee: 72%–83%) compared with the corresponding homogeneous catalyst (ee: 54%) for a...

It is common among competitive baseball players to swing bats while in the batter's box in an attempt to improve their batting performance. Players use bats of different weights during this time, and only a few studies have evaluated the optimal bat weight to increase performance. Previous studies have not investigated the optimal rest period after a warm-up with bats of varying weights. Theref...

Antibodies against Mycoplasma gallisepticum (M. gallisepticum) block the antigenic epitopes of bioaptamer-binding to PvpA protein, resulting in a lighter colorimetric detection.

Mycoplasma gallisepticum is the primary agent of chronic respiratory disease causing important economic losses in the poultry industry. Serological monitoring is essential to maintain mycoplasma-free breeder flocks and often complicated by the cross-reactions between different mycoplasma species. To overcome serological cross-reactions, a large fragment of the M. gallisepticum PvpA cytadhesin, ...
