Compatibility of medroxyprogesterone acetate and pharmaceutical excipients through thermal and spectroscopy techniques

Studies of active drug-excipient compatibility represent an important phase in the preformulation stage of the development of all dosage forms. For the development of conjugation estrogens and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) double-layer tablets, techniques of thermal, isothermal stress testing (IST), and molecular vibrational spectroscopy analysis were performed to access the compatibility. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies were used as an important and complementary tool during preformulation to determine drug-excipient compatibility. On the basis of DSC results, MPA was found to be compatible with polyethylene glycol 6000. However, the results of Raman and IST studies showed that all the excipients defined in the prototype formula were found to be compatible with MPA. Overall, the compatibility of selected excipients with MPA was successfully evaluated using a combination of thermal and IST methods, and the formulations developed using the compatible excipients were found to be stable.     

Preparation and characterization of high-rate and long-cycle LiFePO4/C nanocomposite as cathode material for lithium-ion battery

Olivine LiFePO₄/C nanocomposite cathode materials with small-sized particles and a unique electrochemical performance were successfully prepared by a simple solid-state reaction using oxalic acid and citric acid as the chelating reagent and carbon source. The structure and electrochemical properties of the samples were investigated. The results show that LiFePO₄/C nanocomposite with oxalic acid (oxalic acid: Fe²⁺= 0.75:1) and a small quantity of citric acid are single phase and deliver initial discharge capacity of 122.1 mAh/g at 1 C with little capacity loss up to 500 cycles at room temperature. The rate capability and cyclability are also outstanding at elevated temperature. When charged/discharged at 60 °C, this materials present excellent initial discharge capacity of 148.8 mAh/g at 1 C, 128.6 mAh/g at 5 C, and 115.0 mAh/g at 10 C, respectively. The extraordinarily high performance of LiFePO₄/C cathode materials can be exploited suitably for practical lithium-ion batteries.     

官能团修饰的二维共价有机骨架中二氧化碳捕获与分离性能的理论计算

通过引入—OH、—NH₂和—SO₃H极性官能团,设计了具有高比表面积、亚胺键连接的二维三聚茚酮基共价有机骨架（truxenone-based covalent organic frameworks,TRO-COFs）,并通过巨正则蒙特卡洛（giant canonical Monte Carlo,GCMC）模拟和密度泛函理论（density functional theory,DFT）探究了298 K和0～1.0×10～5Pa条件下极性官能团对TRO-COFs的CO₂捕获性能的影响。结合能和内聚能的分析表明官能团引入后结构仍保持较高的稳定性。极性官能团的引入显著增强了TRO-COFs的CO₂吸附性能。CO₂吸附量大小顺序为TRO-COF-SO₃H>TRO-COF-NH₂>TRO-COF-OH>TRO-COF-H。在298 K和1.0×10～5Pa条件下,TRO-COF-SO₃H表现出8.02 mmol·g^-1的CO₂吸附量及CO₂优于N₂和CH₄的选择性（37和26）。同时,通过径向分布函数和气体吸附密度分布也进一步说明了不同极性官能团对CO₂捕获与分离性能影响的差异。最后,从吸附热、范德瓦耳斯力和库仑相互作用等多个角度详细阐明了极性官能团的作用机制。

A Gibbs sampling method to determine biomarkers for asthma

PurposeTo identify potential biomarkers and to uncover the mechanisms underlying asthma based on Gibbs sampling.MethodsThe molecular functions (MFs) with genes greater than 5 were determined using AnnotationMFGO of BAGS package, and the obtained MFs were then transformed to Markov chain (MC). Gibbs sampling was conducted to obtain a new MC. Meanwhile, the average probabilities of MFs were computed via MC Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm, followed by identification of differentially expressed MFs based on the probabilities of MF more than 0.6. Moreover, the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and their correlated genes were screened and merged, called as co-expressed genes. Pathways enrichment analysis was implemented for the co-expressed genes.ResultsBased on the gene set more than 5, overall 396 MFs were determined. After Gibbs sampling, 5 differentially expressed MF were acquired according to alfa.pi > 0.6. Moreover, the genes in these 5 differentially expressed MF were merged, and 110 DEGs were identified. Subsequently, 338 co-expressed genes were gained. Based on the P value < 0.01, the co-expressed genes were significantly enriched in 6 pathways. Among these, ubiquitin mediated proteolysis contained the maximum numbers of 35 co-expressed genes, and cell cycle were enriched by the second largest number of 11 co-expressed genes, respectively.ConclusionsThe identified pathways such as ubiquitin mediated proteolysis and cell cycle might play important roles in the development of asthma and may be useful for developing the credible therapeutic approaches for diagnosis and treatment of asthma in future.     

Influence of friction and asymmetric freeplay on the limit cycle oscillation in aeroelastic system: An extended Hénon’s technique to temporal integration

Nonlinear effects such as friction and freeplay on the control surfaces can affect aeroelastic dynamics during flight. In particular, these nonlinearities can induce limit cycle oscillations (LCO), changing the system stability, and because of this it is essential to employ computational methods to predict this type of motion during the aircraft development cycle. In this context, the present article presents a matrix notation for describing the Hénon’s method used to reduce errors when considering piecewise linear nonlinearities in the numerical integration process. In addition, a new coordinate system is used to write the aeroelastic system of equations. The proposal defines a displacement vector with generalized and physical variables to simplify the computational implementation of the Hénon’s technique. Additionally, the article discusses the influence of asymmetric freeplay and friction on the LCO of an airfoil with control surface. The results show that the extended Hénon’s technique provides more accurate LCO predictions, that friction can change the frequency and amplitude of these motions, and the asymmetry of freeplay is important to determine the LCO behavior.
