  • Publication number: 20230398143
    Abstract: Disclosed are a cis-platinum cross-linked protein hydrogel and a preparation method thereof. Main components of the cis-platinum cross-linked protein hydrogel comprise the following ingredients in percentage by mass: 0.5% to 5.0% drug, 6.0% to 50.0% serum albumin and 47.0% to 93.0% solvent medium; a carboxyl group on a surface of the serum albumin and the drug form a coordinate bond; and the drug is cis-platinum. A hydrogel preparation is simple in structure and easy to prepare, and the used cis-platinum has dual effects: a cross-linking agent for promoting the formation of protein hydrogels and an antitumor drug for exerting a tumor inhibition curative effect. The strategy simplifies the carrier design and reduces potential toxic side effects. The protein carboxyl limits the release of cis-platinum through a coordination effect so that reduce the burst release of the loaded drugs drastically.

  • Patent number: 11714232
    Abstract: The present invention concerns an optical coupling device including at least one supporting layer comprising a first support wall and a second support wall. The at least one supporting layer comprises at least one bridging waveguide for coupling electromagnetic radiation to and from an optical resonator or optical device, the at least one bridging waveguide extending between the first support wall and the second support wall.

  • Patent number: 10969276
    Abstract: A dual-frequency-comb spectrometer and a method for spectroscopic investigation of a sample are described. The spectrometer includes first and second frequency comb devices for emitting laser pulses along first and second light paths, wherein the repetition frequency of the laser pulses emitted by the second device is offset from that of the first device. First and second multi-core waveguides including at least two separate single core waveguides having field-coupling via a coupling gap therebetween are arranged in the first and second light paths. The sample is irradiated by the second frequency comb in the second light path. A detector device is arranged in a third light path where the first and second light paths are combined, for simultaneously sensing the first frequency comb and the second frequency comb after an interaction with the sample. A computing device receives output of the detector device and calculates spectroscopic properties of the sample.
