Abstract: Medical material production and preparation, and a preparation method of a 4D chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogel. First, chitosan is dissolved in acetic acid solution; a chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogel is printed by a 4D bioprinter and lyophilized after solvent extraction, to obtain lyophilized chitosan; subsequently, aqueous ?-sodium glycerophosphate solution is prepared with ultrapure water and ?-sodium glycerophosphate, and then aqueous carboxymethyl chitosan solution is prepared with ultrapure water and aqueous ?-sodium glycerophosphate solution are charged into and mixed well with aqueous carboxymethyl chitosan solution to prepare a mixture; finally, the lyophilized chitosan is crosslinked with the mixture to obtain the 4D chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogel. With scientific and reliable principles thereof, the present invention solves a problem that conventional thermosensitive hydrogels have uneven pore sizes, and improves the entrapment efficiency and ability of limbal stem cells.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to methods of preparing glycoconjugates containing a saccharide conjugated to a carrier protein by use of stable nitroxyl radical related agent/oxidant as an oxidizing agent, to immunogenic compositions comprising such glycoconjugates, and to methods for the use of such glycoconjugates and immunogenic compositions.

Abstract: The invention provides the use of a formulation containing cyclodextrine, quercetin and zinc, at appropriate concentrations to mitigate infections by enveloped viruses like SARS-COV-2, influenza and HIV/AIDS, when administered via pulmonary and dermal route. While the different forms of cyclodextrin prevent the entry of coated virus into host cells by extracting and sequestering cholesterol molecules at the virus coat and at the host cell plasma membrane, the natural plant-based ionophore quercetin in the formulation, enables cellular entry of zinc, inhibiting viral replication by altering polymerase activity in the host cell. Hence cyclodextrine, and quercetin plus zinc, either in combination or in tandem order of administration, serves both as prophylactic and therapeutic.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to the six isomer structures (OBI-821-1990-V1A, OBI-821-1990-V1B, OBI-821-1990-V2A, OBI-821-1990-V2B, OBI-821-1858-A, and OBI-821-1858-B) of isolated OBI-821 adjuvant and the method for evaluating the quality thereof. The method of the present disclosure adopts hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) either alone or in tandem and is able to separate the isomers of OBI-821 adjuvant in the consequent chromatography. Accordingly, the quality of OBI-821 adjuvant can be further evaluated.
