Effects of Plasma-Lyte.½ and 0.9% saline in renal function after deceased-donor kidney transplant: a randomized controlled trial

Brazilian Journal of Anesthesiology, 2022
Background: The influence of different crystalloid solutions infused during deceased-donor kidney transplant on the incidence of delayed graft function remains unclear. We investigated the influence of Plasma-Lyte.½ vs.

Structure of bottle-brush brushes under good solvent conditions. A molecular dynamics study [PDF]

, 2011
We report a simulation study for bottle-brush polymers grafted on a rigid backbone. Using a standard coarse-grained bead-spring model extensive molecular dynamics simulations for such macromolecules under good solvent conditions are performed. We consider a broad range of parameters and present numerical results for the monomer density profile, density

Pressure exerted by a grafted polymer on the limiting line of a semi-infinite square lattice [PDF]

J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 46 115004 (2013), 2013
Using exact enumerations of self-avoiding walks (SAWs) we compute the inhomogeneous pressure exerted by a two-dimensional end-grafted polymer on the grafting line which limits a semi-infinite square lattice. The results for SAWs show that the asymptotic decay of the pressure as a function of the distance to the grafting point follows a power-law with ...

Design and Evaluation of 3D‐Printed Polylactic Acid Composites Reinforced with Biodegradable Bamboo Powder and Jute Powder

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The study investigates 3D‐printed polylactic acid (PLA) composites with biodegradable bamboo and jute powder fillers. Mechanical, thermal, structural properties, and rheological behavior are discussed to evaluate composite performance. Morphological characterization indicates uniform dispersion and adhesion of the fillers in the PLA matrix with the ...

A Novel Protein‐Polysaccharide Oral Nanoemulsion Targeting Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells to Enhance the Therapeutic Effect of Pirfenidone on Fibrosis After Transarterial Chemoembolization for Liver Cancer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...

Measuring the characteristics of electroosmotic flow in a polyelectrolyte grafted nanopore by molecular theory approach [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
In this paper, we present a molecular theory analysis of ions and potential distribution, degree of ionization of polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes, velocity profile, volumetric flow rate, ionic selectivity, ionic conduction and advection by electroosmotic flow in poly-acid (PA)/poly-base (PB) grafted nanopores. The generated conformations by the Rotational
