  • Patent number: 11649392
    Abstract: A variety of fluid loss control compositions and methods are provided for controlling fluid loss in a cementing operation. As described herein, polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles and fluid loss control compositions containing polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles can be effective for fluid loss control in a variety of cementing operations. Methods of making and methods of using the electrolyte complex nanoparticles and fluid loss control compositions containing polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles are also provided. The polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles can include a polycation polymer such as a branched chain polyethylenimine, and a polyanion polymer such as polyacrylic acid or poly(vinylsulfonic) acid. The polyelectrolyte complex nanoparticles can contain additional additives such as metal ions or fluid loss additives such as a cellulose polymer.

  • Patent number: 11413339
    Abstract: Disclosed are a whole-cell tumor vaccine based on the principle of extracellular traps and a method of making the same, where a CpG ODN network similar to the extracellular trap in structure is formed on the tumor cell surface. The tumor cells are coated with a histone and CpG ODN to form the CpG ODN-coated tumor cells, which are inactivated to produce the whole-cell tumor vaccine. The vaccine of the invention, after injected to tumor model mice, can induce the occurrence of effective immune response to achieve the effective treatment for tumors.

  • Patent number: 11357843
    Abstract: Disclosed are a bacteriologically-modified whole-cell tumor vaccine and a method of making the same. The method includes: lysing bacteria at logarithmic growth phase to obtain a bacterial lysate; mixing the bacterial lysate with an excessive amino compound solution to aminate the bacterial lysate in the presence of EDC; mixing the aminated bacterial lysate with the tumor cells for a certain period of time to produce bacteriologically-modified tumor cells; and inactivating the bacteriologically-modified tumor cells to produce the bacteriologically-modified whole-cell tumor vaccine. The bacteriologically-modified whole-cell tumor vaccine has been demonstrated to have desirable therapeutic effect in tumor model mice.
