Desiccation

Desiccation is the process of removing or reducing the water content of a substance, often used in research and industry to preserve materials or study the effects of water loss.
This term encompasses techniques such as air-drying, freeze-drying, and chemical dehydration.
Desiccation is a crucial aspect of many fields, including biology, chemistry, and engineering, as it can impact the physical, chemical, and biological properties of substances.
Understanding and optimizing desiccation protocols is important for a wide range of applications, from food preservation to the development of advanced materials.
Researches in this area often utilize tools like PubCompare.ai to effortlessly locate and compare desiccation protocols from the literature, pre-prints, and patents, helping to streamline their research process and identify the most effective methods.

Measuring Internalized HIV Stigma and Related Constructs
The focus of this analysis was the Internalized AIDS-Related Stigma Scale, a six-item scale designed to measure the construct of internalized stigma [28 (link)]. Each item offers a binary (yes/no) response, and the total scale score is computed as the sum of the items. Internalized stigma represents the outcome of a process through which PLWHA accept their discredited status (imposed by the majority group) as valid and develop self-defacing internal representations of themselves [29 (link)]. Our use of a scale for one specific aspect of stigma, rather than a scale designed to more comprehensively measure different aspects of stigma [27 (link), 30 (link)], was driven largely by practical concerns about the overall length of the survey instrument.
The UARTO psychosocial assessments also sought to measure several potentially related constructs, including self-blame for HIV status, depression symptom severity, enacted stigma, health-related quality of life, and HIV-related symptom burden. We measured self-blame by asking participants whether they agreed (yes/no) with the statement, “It is my own fault that I am HIV-positive.” To measure depression symptom severity, we used the 15-item Hopkins Symptom Checklist for Depression [31 (link)]. Following prior studies of depression in Uganda, we modified the depression scale for the local context by adding a 16th item, “feeling like I don’t care about my health” [32 ]. Each item is scored on a four-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 4, and the total scale score is computed as the average of the 16 items. To assess enacted stigma, which refers to overt acts of HIV-related discrimination [29 (link)], we asked participants whether or not they had ever experienced (yes/no) any one of 13 different events, including spousal abandonment, discrimination in health care settings, loss of housing, threats of violence, or physical assault. Health-related quality of life was measured with the Medical Outcomes Study-HIV Health Survey (MOS-HIV) mental health summary (MHS) and physical health summary (PHS) scores. The MOS-HIV consists of 35 items grouped into 11 domains, and higher MHS and PHS scores reflect a better health-related quality of life [33 (link)–35 (link)]. The individual domains are scored as summated rating scales from 0–100, and the overall MHS and PHS scores are transformed to t-scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. For HIV-related symptom burden, we inquired about whether or not participants had experienced, in the previous month, any of 29 potentially HIV-related symptoms (e.g., “tremors or shakes,” “problems with weight loss or wasting,” “change in the way your body looks such as fat deposits or weight gain,” “skin problems, such as rash, dryness, or itching,” “hair loss or changes in the way your hair looks,” “enlarged bumps in your neck, armpits, or groin,” etc.). Among participants who had experienced a particular symptom, the extent to which they found each symptom bothersome was scored on a four-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 to 4. These variables were used to create an equally weighted average of the z-scores [36 ], with the sign of the aggregate measure oriented so that greater values of the symptom index are associated with a greater symptom burden.

Randomized Trial of Menopausal Hormone Therapy
KEEPS was designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, prospective trial (KEEPS; NCT000154180) to evaluate effects of MHT on progression of atherosclerosis as defined by carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT) [44 (link)] and coronary arterial calcification (CAC) [8 (link), 73 (link)] in women who more closely match the age of initiation of MHT reported by prior observational studies. Women meeting inclusion criteria subsequently were randomized to daily placebo, oral CEE, or transdermal 17β-estradiol with placebo or pulsed progesterone for 12 days/month. The detailed inclusion and exclusion criteria for KEEPS have been published elsewhere [36 (link)]. In brief, women between the ages of 42 and 58 years of age who were at least 6 months and no more than 36 months from their last menses with plasma follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level ≥35 ng/mL and/or E2 levels <40 pg/mL were eligible. A history of clinical CVD including myocardial infarction, angina, congestive heart failure, or thromboembolic disease excluded women from KEEPS. Other major cardiovascular risk factors excluding participation were current heavy smoking (more than ten cigarettes/day by self-report), morbid obesity [body mass index (BMI) >35 mm2/kg], dyslipidemia (LDL cholesterol >190 mg/dL), hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides >400 mg/dL), and uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure >150 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure >95 mm Hg) and glucose >126 mg/dL. Complete blood count and chemistry panel, estradiol, and FSH were performed at the clinical laboratories at each recruiting center. Lipid profiles and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were performed at the Kronos Science Laboratories (Phoenix, AZ, USA). At screening, women were asked to rank their menopausal symptoms (hotflashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, palpitations, insomnia, depression, mood swings, and irritability) as either none, mild, moderate, or severe. Finally, all subjects were screened for CAC and women with Agatston score ≥50 U, indicating significant subclinical coronary artery disease, were excluded. All women meeting inclusion criteria underwent baseline measurements of CIMT by B-mode ultrasound [44 (link)]. All imaging results are read centrally by individuals blinded to participant demographics (CAC at the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA, Torrance, CA, USA under the direction of Dr. M. Budoff and CIMT at the Atherosclerosis Research Unit Core Imaging and Reading Center, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA under the direction of Dr. H. Hodis).
Analysis of variance was used to determine statistical significance except where an alternative test is specified. Statistical significance was accepted at P < 0.05.

Reconstitution of Functional TRPV1 in Lipid Nanodiscs
A minimal functional rat TRPV1 construct was expressed and purified as previously described 19 (link). Membrane scaffold proteins MSP2N2 and MSP1E3 were expressed and purified from E. coli, and detergent solubilized TRPV1 protein incorporated into lipid nanodisc as previously described10 (link), with modifications. Briefly, 2.5 mg soybean polar lipid extract (Avanti) dissolved in chloroform was dried using argon stream and residual chloroform further removed by vacuum desiccation (~ 3hrs). Lipids were then rehydrated in buffer (20 mM HEPES, 150mM NaCl, 2mM TCEP, 14 mM DDM, pH 7.4) and sonicated, resulting in a clear lipid stock at 10mM concentration. Purified MBP-TRPV1 protein (0.7–1.5 mg ml−1) solubilized in 0.5 mM DDM was mixed with the soybean lipid stock and MSP2N2 (~3mg ml−1) at various molar ratios and incubated on ice for 30 minutes. Specifically, we achieved the best result using the ratio (TRPV1 monomer : MSP : soybean lipid = 1:1:150 – 1:1.5:225) for MSP2N2 and 1:1:100 for MSP1E3. Bio-beads SM2 (20 mg per 1ml mixture, Bio-rad) were added to initiate the reconstitution by removing detergents from the system and the mixture incubated at 4°C for one hour with constant rotation. A second batch of Bio-beads (equal amount) together with TEV protease (40 μg per 1mg TRPV1) was then added and the sample incubated at 4°C overnight. Bio-beads were then removed and the reconstitution mixture cleared by centrifugation before subsequent separation on a Superose 6 column (GE) in buffer (20 mM HEPES, 150mM NaCl, 2mM TCEP, pH 7.4). Reconstitution was assessed by size exclusion chromatography, SDS-PAGE, and negative stain EM (Extended Data Fig. 1). The peak corresponding to tetrameric TRPV1 reconstituted in lipid nanodisc was collected for analysis by both negative stain and cryo-EM. TRPV1-nanodisc particles were mono-dispersed as assessed by negative stain EM (Extended Data Fig. 1c).

Luminol-based ROS Assay in Plants
One day before the ROS assay, leaf disks (1.1 cm2) from 4-5 week old plants were cut into two equal halves with a sharp razor blade to increase the cellular surface area exposed to elicitation solution, an important step for obtaining reproducible responses with less variability within and between experiment. Each leaf disc half was floated adaxial side up in an individual well of a 96-well microtiter plate (Costar; Fisher Scientific, catalog # 3912) containing 150 μl dH2O and then incubated overnight at 22°C in continuous light for 20 to 24 hours to reduce the wounding response. Prior to elicitation, the Elicitation Solution was prepared containing bacteria, Luminol and HRP. For a 10 ml Elicitation Solution, 20 μl of 500x HRP stock solution and 20 μl of the 500x Luminol stock solution is added to 10 ml of bacterial cells that have been already diluted to the desired concentration. For flg22-induced ROS production, flg22 peptide was used instead of bacteria in the Elicitation Solution. All Elicitation Solutions were kept at room temperature. Immediately prior to the elicitation, the incubating dH2O solution was carefully removed from each well avoiding any tissue damage or desiccation. Then using a multichannel pipetman, 100 μl of the Elicitation Solution was quickly added to each well containing leaf disc half. For Luminol-based ROS production, the plate was placed without delay into a GloMax® 96-well microplate luminometer (Promega, Madison, USA) to measure Pto-induced ROS production between 0 and 80 minutes.

Evaluating Menopausal Symptoms in Chinese Women
We conducted a cross-sectional study at the Department of Gynecology, the Sixth Affiliated People’s Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, between April 2010 and October 2011. We enrolled women newly attending the outpatient clinic who were naïve to treatment with hormone replacement therapy or any traditional Chinese medicine indicated for menopause. Patients with known mental disorders were excluded. The study was approved by the ethics review board of the hospital and each participant provided their written informed consent prior to participation.
During the survey, all participants were required to fill in a demographic form that included information on age, education, income, marital status, occupation, menopausal status, and disease history. Menopausal status was categorized as perimenopause (climacteric transition with irregular menses) and menopause (last menstrual period at least 12 months prior to the survey). Each participant was also required to complete the Chinese version of the MRS (http://www.menopause-rating-scale.info/languages.htm) and the modified KI.1
The order in which each participant completed the MRS and modified KI was entirely at random. Two experienced interviewers (SHF and LCB) provided all the surveys, and answered any questions raised by the participants.
The MRS consists of 11 items categorized into three subscales, ie, sweating/hot flushes, heart discomfort, sleep problems, joint and muscle problems, categorized as somatovegetative symptoms; depressive mood, irritability, anxiety, and physical/mental exhaustion, categorized as psychological symptoms; and sexual problems, bladder problems, and vaginal dryness, categorized as urogenital symptoms. Severity was rated and scored as none (0 points), mild (1 point), moderate (2 points), severe (3 points), and very severe (4 points). The total score possible ranges from 0 to 44. Scores ranging from 0–4, 5–8, 9–15, and 16+ were used to rate the perceived menopausal symptoms as none/minimal, mild, moderate, and severe, respectively.10 (link),16 (link)
The modified KI1 ,17 consists of 13 items (see Appendix A). In addition to the same 11 items included in the original KI,9 (link) the modified version adds urogenital symptoms, including urinary infection and sexual complaints. The original 11 items included sweating/hot flushes, palpitation, vertigo, headache, paresthesia, formication, arthralgia, and myalgia (categorized as somatic symptoms), and fatigue, nervousness, and melancholia categorized as psychological symptoms. A scale ranging from 0 to 3 points is used to describe the severity of the complaints. The weighting factors were the same as those used in the original KI, and provide two points for both urogenital symptoms. The total score ranges from 0 to 63, calculated as the sum of all items by the weighting factor. Scores ranging from 0–6, 7–15, 16–30, and >30 were used to rate the degree of severity as none, mild, moderate, and severe, respectively.1

Antimicrobial Clay-Polymer Biofilm Inhibition
Not available on PMC !

Example 2

Antimicrobial activity of the compositions according to the invention has been compared with compositions comprising either only the modified clay particle comprising an antimicrobial compound (‘CPC’, prepared as in Ex. 1), or only a nonionic triblock copolymer (‘pluronic’). Salivary flora and actives (according to Table 1 below) were co-incubated overnight and at the end of incubation biofilm was stained with crystal violet. Detailed protocol as mentioned below:

Treatment and Biofilm Formation

Early morning saliva samples before brushing was collected from 4-5 people, pooled together and washed twice in saline. Absorbance was set to 0.2 OD620 nm in ultra-filtered tryptone yeast extract broth (2% sucrose) and used for experiments as mentioned in further steps. 2 ml of set culture was added into 24/12 well plate to which test actives at varying concentrations were added into each of the wells. The plate was incubated anaerobically overnight at 37° C.

Staining Protocol

At the end overnight incubation, decant the plate out over a biohazard bag to remove all the planktonic bacteria. Rinse the plate in a tray of water and decant the water out over the tray. This step was done once to remove the loosely adhered biofilm. Place the plate on a blotting paper/paper towel over the bench top. Stain all the test wells with 1 ml of 1% Crystal violet stain (CV) for 10 min. This step was done using a pipette. Decant the plate out over the biohazard discard bag to remove all the stain. Rinse the plate in a tray of water and pour the water out over the tray. This step was done thrice consecutively, in three separate trays of water. (Each tray procedure was repeated thrice-total 9 rinse). Cover the bench top with more blotting paper/paper towel and hit the plate against the bench top until all the wells are free of any liquid. This step was done to ensure that only CV remaining is bound to a biofilm at the bottom of a well. Leave the plate face up on the bench top at room temperature (23+2° C.) until it dries completely. Add 1 ml of 33% glacial acetic acid to the test wells to solubilize the biofilm bound CV stain. Allow the acetic acid to sit for 10 mins. Pipette up and down the mix of acetic acid and CV in the wells.

Transfer 10 μl of above solution mix to 90 ul of 33% acetic acid in a well of flat bottom 96 well plate. Mix the solution well and absorbance is taken at 540 nm. All the test actives were done in duplicates.

Example 9

A 3D printed mesh was prepared from succinic acid-1,4-butanediol-malic acid copolyester (Tepha lot 180333), with weight average molecular weight of 184 kDa, Tm=115° C., using melt extrusion deposition according to the following method. The mesh was printed using an ARBURG Free-Former machine consisting of a horizontal extruder feeding into a vertical ram extruder fitted with motion controlled needle plunger, 200 micron spinneret nozzle and a movable stage table. The extruder hopper was charged with 1½×3 mm sized polymer pellets with a moisture content of less than 2,000 ppm. The pellets were purged with dry nitrogen in the extruder hopper to maintain dryness. The temperature profile of the extruder was set between 45°-180° C., and the residence time of the polymer in the extrusion system was maintained at less than 15 min/cm. The conditions resulted in the formation of very high quality printed mesh as shown in FIG. 1.
