Dendritic polyurethane-based prodrug as unimolecular micelles for precise ultrasound-activated localized drug delivery

Ultrasound has been recognized as an exciting tool to enhance the therapeutic efficacy in tumor chemotherapy owing to the triggered drug release, facilitated intracellular drug delivery, and improved spatial precision. Aiming for a precise localized drug delivery, novel dendritic polyurethane-based prodrug (DOX-DPU-PEG) was fabricated with a drug content of 18.9% here by conjugating DOX onto the end groups of the functionalized dendritic polyurethane via acid-labile imine bonds. It could easily form unimolecular micelles around 38 nm. Compared with the non-covalently drug-loaded unimolecular micelles (DOX@Ph-DPU-PEG), they showed excellent pH/ultrasound dual-triggered drug release performance, with drug leakage of only 4% at pH 7.4, but cumulative release of 14% and 88% at pH 5.0 without and with ultrasound, respectively. The ultrasound responsiveness was attributed to the unique strawberry-shaped topological structure of the DOX-DPU-PEG, in which DOX was embedded in the skin layer of the hydrophobic DPU cores. With ultrasound, the DOX-DPU-PEG unimolecular micelles possessed enhanced tumor growth inhibition than free DOX but showed no obvious cytotoxicity on the tumor cells without ultrasound. Such feature makes them promising potential for precise localized drug delivery.

Complexation of radionuclide <Superscript>152+154</Superscript>Eu(III) with alumina-bound fulvic acid studied by batch and time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy

To contribute to the understanding of Eu(III) interaction preperties on hydrous alumina particles in the absence and presence of fulvic acid (FA), the complexation properties of Eu(III) with hydrous alumina, FA and FA-alumina hybrids are studied by batch and time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) techniques. The continuous increase in the fluorescence lifetime of Eu-alumina and Eu-FA with increasing pH indicates that the complexation is accompanied by decreasing number of hydration water in the first coordination sphere of Eu(III). Eu(III) is adsorbed onto alumina particles as outer-sphere surface complexes of ≡(Al?O)?Eu· (OH)· 7H₂O and ≡(Al?O)?Eu· 6H₂O at low pH values, and as inner-sphere surface complexes as ≡(Al?O)₂?Eu⁺· 4H₂O at high pH. In FA solution, Eu(III) forms complexes with FA as (COO)₂Eu⁺(H₂O) _x and the hydration water number in the first coordination sphere decreases with pH increasing. The formation of ≡COO?Eu?(O?Al≡)· 4H₂O is observed on FA-alumina hybrids, suggesting the formation of strong inner-sphere surface complexes in the presence of FA. The surface complexes are also characterized by their emission spectra [the ratio of emission intensities of ⁵ D ₀→⁷ F ₁ (λ=594 nm) and ⁵ D ₀→⁷ F ₂ (λ=619 nm) transitions] and their fluorescence lifetime. The findings is important to understand the contribution of FA in the complexation properties of Eu(III) on FA-alumina hybrids that the clarification of the environmental behavior of humic substances is necessary to understand fully the behavior of Eu(III), or its analogue trivalent lanthanide and actinide ions in natural environment.

基于残差加权经验过程方法的自回归模型分布变点监测

Change monitoring of distribution in time series models is an important issue.This paper proposes a procedure for monitoring changes in the error distribution of autoregressive time series,which is based on a weighed empirical process of residuals with weights equal to the regressors.The asymptotic properties of our monitoring statistic are derived under the null hypothesis of no change in distribution.The finite sample properties are investigated by a simulation.As it turns out,the procedure is not only able to detect distributional changes but also changes in the regression coefficient and mean.Finally,we apply the statistic to a groups of financial data.     

Catalyst-and additive-free selective sulfonylation/cyclization of 1,6-enynes with arylazo sulfones leading to sulfonylated γ-butyrolactams

A convenient and regioselective sulfonylation/cyclization of 1,6-enynes with arylazo sulfones has been developed to access a series of sulfonylated γ-butyrolactams.The present reaction could be efficiently conducted under catalyst-and additive-free conditions,in which C-S and C-C bonds were selectively constructed in one-pot procedure.     

Laplacian spectral characterization of disjoint union of paths and cycles

The Laplacian spectrum of a graph consists of the eigenvalues (together with multiplicities) of the Laplacian matrix. In this article we determine, among the graphs consisting of disjoint unions of paths and cycles, those ones which are determined by the Laplacian spectrum. For the graphs, which are not determined by the Laplacian spectrum, we give the corresponding cospectral non-isomorphic graphs.
