Summary: Many pharmaceutical preparations are aqueous dispersions of small or large molecules that self-assemble into complexes, whose efficacy depends on the nanostructure of the complexes. Electron microscopy is necessary to study the nanostructure, but complications arise from the need to make liquid systems compatible with high vacuum in electron microscopes.

Summary: The study investigates soft solids made of micron-scale lipid bilayer vesicles adhering to oppositely charged polymer through electrostatic attraction. Increasing polymer concentration results in fluid phase, solid gel phase, and gel with internally reorganized vesicles. The gel exhibits solid properties with modulus depending on membrane-membrane adhesion energy density, not vesicle size, and can withstand osmotic stress but be disrupted by strong binding silica nanoparticles.

Summary: Rheometry, small-angle neutron scattering, and cryo-transmission electron microscopy were used to investigate the structure and properties of mixed wormlike micelles (WLMs) of zwitterionic and anionic surfactants. The study found that the transition of linear micelles into branched micelles at increasing surfactant concentration leads to a drop in viscosity and approaches the system to the behavior of Maxwell fluid with a single relaxation time, which strongly affects the rheological properties and can be exploited in various applications of zwitterionic surfactants.

Summary: This study aimed to develop optimal sustained-release moxifloxacin-loaded liposomes for the treatment of endophthalmitis. The active loading method (AL) showed higher drug encapsulation efficiency and antimicrobial potential compared to the dehydration-rehydration method (DRV), with longer drug retention in liposomes. The lipid composition did not affect drug release from DRV liposomes, but significantly altered drug loading and release in AL liposomes, indicating the importance of drug retention in liposomes for their activity.

Summary: The membrane structuration of Large Hybrid Unilamellar Polymer/Lipid Vesicle (LHUV) plays a crucial role in optimizing their properties and evaluating their value in various fields. This study focuses on the development of LHUV from the self-assembly of diblock poly(dimethylsiloxane)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PDMS-b-PEO) of different molar masses combined with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC). Techniques such as small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) were utilized to characterize the hybrid vesicles and their membrane structure, showing that the membrane permeability of LHUV is primarily controlled by the lipid/polymer composition.

Summary: This study investigated methods to minimize artifacts observed in experiments measuring spontaneous leakage from cholesterol-containing liposomes, showing that the choice of cuvette material significantly influences the results. Side processes at the solution-cuvette interface, such as attaching and spreading of liposomes, likely contribute to discrepancies in leakage profiles. Modification of quartz cuvettes with adsorbed PEG8000 was found to be suitable for these experiments, while other cuvette materials performed poorly.

Summary: In this study, a donor/acceptor (D/A) model system was used to investigate the excited states and charge/energy transfer dynamics in type-II heterojunction polymer dots (Pdots). The results showed that increasing the ratio of ITIC in binary Pdots can slow down charge recombination and enhance photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Therefore, it is necessary to suppress charge carrier recombination and increase crystallinity and phase segregation in the design of type-II heterojunction Pdots for improved photocatalytic performance.

Summary: Dual centrifugation (DC) is a new method for preparing different-sized liposomes with controlled structure. The structure of liposomes was investigated using fluorescence spectroscopy and cryo-EM. It was found that a novel type of liposome, small multilamellar vesicles (SMVs), could be produced with highly filled bilayers. Another important finding was the preparation of vesicle-phase transition gradients (VPGs) that can spontaneously close and entrap drugs before application. Lower lipid concentrations during DC can predominantly produce unilamellar vesicles.

Summary: The self-assembly of the anionic bile salt surfactant NaDC and the zwitterionic phospholipid DMPC in physiological saline solution was investigated. The results showed that mixed micelles formed at high content of bile salt, increasing in size as more DMPC was incorporated. At higher mole fractions of DMPC, new structures such as stomatosomes were observed. Bile salt surfactants have enhanced ability to solubilize phospholipid bilayers and form mixed micelles compared to conventional surfactants, which can be rationalized using bending elasticity theory.

Summary: In this study, a highly effective surfactant producer strain, Bacillus Cereus GX7, was isolated from the oil tank bottom sludge of Shengli Oil Field in China. The biosurfactant produced by GX7 was identified as surfactin, a lipopeptide surfactant, through TLC, FT-IR, and LC-MS/MS analysis. The fermentation process of GX7 was optimized using single-factor experiments, focusing on the composition of fermentation medium and fermentation conditions. Glucose and peptone were found to be the best carbon and nitrogen sources, and the optimum temperature, inoculum amount, pH, rotation speed, and fermentation time for the strain were determined to be 30°C, 1%, 7.5, 150 rpm, and 48 h, respectively. After optimization, the surface tension and emulsification index of the fermentation broth were 26.84 mN/m and 57.84%, respectively. Furthermore, the biosurfactant produced by GX7 demonstrated good stability over a wide range of temperature, pH, and salt concentration.

Summary: Effective management of biofluids is crucial for in vivo surgical interventions. Recent advances include self-sealing needles, drug-eluting stents, and shear-thinning hydrogels. However, complications associated with intestinal mucosal injury and secondary damage still persist. In this study, researchers developed an interpenetrating Janus wettability stent coating that enables unidirectional draining of excessive biofluid. They also demonstrated directional biofluid movement using a self-pumping dressing with potential applications in biofluid collection and disease diagnosis through metal ion detection. This integrated system presents an opportunity for designing wound dressings with effective biofluid management and metal ion detection capabilities.
