Continuous manufacturing, as an innovative pharmaceutical production model, offers advantages such as high production efficiency and ease of control compared to traditional batch production, aligning with the future trend of drug production moving toward greater efficiency and intelligence. However, the development of continuous manufacturing technology in wet granulation has been slow. On one hand, this is closely related to its high technical complexity, substantial equipment investment costs, and stringent process control requirements.

The Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, situated in the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin, serves as a crucial ecological function area and an environmental fragile zone. Therefore, studying the changes in ecosystem services and their associated trade-offs in this region is important for sustainable development. This study focuses on the Gannan Prefecture, utilizing the InVEST model to analyze the spatio-temporal shifts in land use types from 1990 to 2020.

Background: Flower morphology is believed to be primarily shaped by the most important pollinators when more than one pollinating species visits the flowers. However, floral adaptation to the selection mediated by multiple pollinators has received little attention. The plant Stellera chamaejasme has evolved a pollination syndrome matching both lepidopteran and thrips.

Article Synopsis
  • Ibuprofen (IBU) has poor gastrointestinal absorption due to low solubility, prompting researchers to create a thermosensitive gel with ibuprofen-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (IBU-SLN-ISG) for better dissolution and bioavailability through rectal delivery.
  • The study optimized the IBU-SLN formulation using a design approach and characterized its physicochemical properties, revealing successful drug encapsulation and a favorable release profile with minimal rectal irritation.
  • Tests showed that the IBU-SLN-ISG significantly improved IBU absorption and retention in the rectum, indicating its potential for further development as a more effective delivery system.

We studied mycobionts from advanced seedlings and adult mycorrhizal roots of the terrestrial orchid Arundina graminifolia. Fungi were isolated, identified by ITS sequencing, and tested for their impact on seed germination, protocorm formation, and development of advanced seedlings (emergence of first leaf) in vitro. Among the six fungal species isolated, four were not standard orchid mycorrhizal fungi (Fusarium solani, Cylindrocarpon sp.
