TL;DR: Biodegradable nanoemulsions (NE) as a colloidal vehicle of the oil/water type focusing in topical administration of Foscan and other photosensitizer drugs demonstrated that the NE can be potentially applied as a drug delivery system (DDS) for FosCAN in both in vitro and in vivo assays, as well as in future clinical applications involving topical skin cancer PDT.
Abstract: In this work we evaluated the photophysical and in vitro properties of Foscan, a second-generation photosensitizer drug (PS) widely used in systemic clinical protocols for cancer therapy based on Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). We employed biodegradable nanoemulsions (NE) as a colloidal vehicle of the oil/water (o/w) type focusing in topical administration of Foscan and other photosensitizer drugs. This formulation was obtained and stabilized by the methodology described by Tabosa do Egito et al., based on the mixture of two phases: an aqueous solution and an organic medium consisting of nonionic surfactants and oil. The photodynamic potential of the drug incorporated into the NE was studied by steady-state and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. We also analyzed the in vitro biological behavior carried out in mimetic biological environment protocols based on the animal model. After topical application in a skin animal model, we evaluated the Foscan/NE diffusion flux into the skin layers (stratum corneum and epidermis + dermis) by classical procedures using Franz Diffusion cells. Our results showed that the photophysical properties of PS were maintained after its incorporation into the NE when compared with homogeneous organic medium. The in vitro assays enabled the determination of an adequate profile for the interaction of this system in the different skin layers, with an ideal time lag of 6 h after topical administration in the skin model. The Foscan diffusion flux (J) was increased when this PS was incorporated into the NE, if compared with its flux in physiological medium. These parameters demonstrated that the NE can be potentially applied as a drug delivery system (DDS) for Foscan in both in vitro and in vivo assays, as well as in future clinical applications involving topical skin cancer PDT.

TL;DR: This study assessed the effect of three different groups of inhibitors on fermentative H2 production by a mixed culture: acetic acid; furan derivatives; and phenolic monomers, such as vanillin, syringaldehyde, and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, which provided the largest inhibition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the response of Aspergillus nidulans germlings to heat shock is reported, and it is concluded that the defence against the lethal effects of heat exposure can be correlated with the activity of the defence system against oxidative stress.
Abstract: To understand the molecular mechanisms induced by stress that contribute to the development of tolerance in eukaryotic cells, the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans has been chosen as a model system. Here, the response of A. nidulans germlings to heat shock is reported. The heat treatment dramatically increased the concentration of trehalose and induced the accumulation of mannitol and mRNA from the catalase gene catA. Both mannitol and catalase function to protect cells from different reactive oxygen species. Treatment with hydrogen peroxide increased A. nidulans germling viability after heat shock whilst mutants deficient in catalase were more sensitive to a 50 °C heat exposure. It is concluded that the defence against the lethal effects of heat exposure can be correlated with the activity of the defence system against oxidative stress.

TL;DR: These experiments confirm that the interaction between alkaline phosphatase and lipid bilayer of liposome is via GPI anchor of the enzyme, alone, and an important point shown is that an enzyme bound toliposome does not lose the ability to hydrolyze ATP, pyrophosphate and p-nitrophenyl phosphate, but a Liposome environment affects its kinetic properties, specifically for pyroph phosphate.
