OBJECTIVE: To compare the rate and extent of systemic salicylate absorption following single and multiple applications of two topically applied analgesics, one containing methyl salicylate and the other containing trolamine salicylate. DESIGN: Two-period, two-treatment, randomized, crossover, multiple-dose study in healthy men and women volunteers. PARTICIPANTS: Six men and six women volunteers, 21-44 years of age. INTERVENTIONS: Subjects applied 5 g of an ointment containing 12.5% methyl salicy

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are peptide-derived analogs that were initially investigated to treat type 2 diabetes. Recently, a drug targeting the receptors of both GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) (tirzepatide) has been introduced to the market, and its indications have expanded to include treating obesity. Here, we review the pharmacokinetics, pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions (DDIs), and pharmacokinetic modeling approaches of four curr

functional genes. To overcome this shortcoming, we developed network-based GSEA (NGSEA), which measures the enrichment score of functional gene sets using the expression difference of not only individual genes but also their neighbors in the functional network. We found that NGSEA outperformed GSEA in identifying pathway gene sets for matched gene expression phenotypes. We also observed that NGSEA substantially improved the ability to retrieve known anti-cancer drugs from patient-derived gene ex

H NMR spectro-scopy, TGA and diffusion coefficient. The synthesized siloxane pyridinium iodide electrolytes havecharacteristics of different chain length of siloxane moieties. The ion conductivities were given 2.7-3.2 S/cm.Among the three SiDPIs based electrolytes, DSSC employing the SiDPI2 gives an open circuit voltage of0.704 V, a short-circuit current of 15.85 mA/cm

Humans are continuously exposed to benzisothiazolinone (BIT), which is used as a preservative, through multiple routes. BIT is known to be a sensitizer; in particular, dermal contact or aerosol inhalation could affect the local toxicity. In this study, we evaluated the pharmacokinetic properties of BIT in rats following various routes of administration. BIT levels were determined in rat plasma and tissues after oral inhalation and dermal application. Although the digestive system rapidly and com

Bee venom is a traditional drug used to treat the nervous system, musculoskeletal system, and autoimmune diseases. A previous study found that bee venom and one of its components, phospholipase A2, can protect the brain by suppressing neuroinflammation and can also be used to treat Alzheimer's disease. Thus, new composition bee venom (NCBV), which has an increased phospholipase A2 content of up to 76.2%, was developed as a treatment agent for Alzheimer's disease by INISTst (Republic of Korea). T

Starch-processing wastewater was anaerobically treated to produce acetic acid in laboratory-scale, continuously stirred tank reactors. The optimal conditions, in which the maximum acetic acid production occurred, were 0.56 d hydraulic retention time, pH 5.9, and 36.1 degrees C. Acetic acid production at the optimum conditions was 672 +/- 20 mg total organic carbon(equivalent) L(-)(1), which indicated a 75% conversion efficiency of influent total organic carbon into acetic acid. A fourth order Ru

The novel sulfonated poly(ether sulfone)s containing mesonaphthobifluorene (MNF) moiety were synthesized and characterized their properties. The prepared polymers have highly conjugated aromatic structure due to the MNF group which is an allotrope of carbon and one atom thick planar sheets of sp2-bonded carbon atoms. Poly(ether sulfone)s bearing tetraphenylethylene on polymer backbone were synthesized by polycondensation and followed intra-cyclization from tetraphenylethylene to form MNF by Frie
