The eutectic properties of binary mixtures of some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with ibuprofen were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and phase equilibrium diagrams. The melting points of selected NSAIDs were significantly depressed due to binary eutectic formation with ibuprofen. Ketoprofen and ibuprofen were selected to study the effect of eutectic formation on membrane permeation using Franz diffusion cells and snake skin as the model membrane. The presence of aqueous isopropyl alcohol (IPA) was necessary to completely transform the solid drugs into an oily state at ambient temperature. As much as the 99.6% of ibuprofen and the 88.8% of ketoprofen added were found in the oily phase of the two-phase liquid system formed when aqueous IPA was added to the eutectic mixture. Due to the high drug concentration in the oily phase, and maximum thermodynamic activity, the two-phase liquid system showed enhanced membrane permeation rates of ibuprofen (37.5 microg/cm2/hr) and ketoprofen (33.4 microg/cm2/hr) compared to other reference preparations used.

In engineering applications where extreme environmental conditions are becoming increasingly prevalent, the dynamic behavior of liquid droplets on solid surfaces plays a vital role in determining system efficiency and reliability. Particularly in scenarios such as anti-icing, anticorrosion, and self-cleaning, the fabrication of micro/nanostructured surfaces with exceptional hydrophobic properties has emerged as a critical strategy. However, constrained by the technical limitations of current experimental equipment in microscale observation and the capture of transient droplet impact processes, the influence mechanism of statistical roughness parameters (skewness and kurtosis) on droplet bouncing remains underexplored.

Orforglipron is a non-peptide, oral glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist under development for glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes and weight management in people with obesity. Two phase 1, open-label studies evaluated the disposition and absolute bioavailability of orforglipron in healthy adults. Study A participants (N = 10) received a 1-mg orforglipron oral capsule while fasting and an intravenous dose of ∼21 µg of [14C]-orforglipron.

A microreactor derived from water-in-water (W/W) Pickering emulsion was developed to address the challenges of low yield and volatility in 4-methyl-5-thiazoleethanol (MTE) biosynthesis. The thiaminase II (TenA) from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was engineered to create a key mutant (A82Y/Y113A/T163K/F169L), which was integrated into the microreactor system. The microreactor was constructed using methylcellulose (MD)/hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) aqueous two-phase separation to encapsulate engineered probiotics and minimize volatile losses.

Fecal water syndrome (FWS) in horses is characterized by two-phase defecation, including both solid and liquid phases. While satisfactory explanations for FWS are unavailable, bacterial dysbiosis has been suggested as a contributing or causative factor. The objectives of this study were to determine whether fecal bacterial dysbiosis is associated with FWS in horses in the midwestern USA.

Gas-liquid two-phase flow-based triboelectric nanogenerators (GL-TENGs) have gained widespread attention due to their ability to convert the kinetic energy of complex flowing fluids into electrical power, but limitation such as relatively low output power density imposed by interfacial effects severely restrict their output performance. Here, a novel tubular bulk effect gas-liquid mixing triboelectric nanogenerator (TBE-GL-TENG) is designed to significantly enhance the output performance of GL-TENGs. The instantaneous output voltage, output current, and transferred charge of 1530 V, 112 µA, and 0.
