Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A modified frozen and vacuum drying method was used to fabricate the porous scaffolds as reported in our previous study.38 (link)
d,l-Lactide (LA) and glycolide (GA) monomer were obtained from Purac (Netherlands). Poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA, LA:GA= 80:20, Mw = 80,000 g·mol−1) was synthesized as previously reported.39 (link) Briefly, with the assistance of magnetic stirring and ultrasonic processing, HA (Emperor Nano Material Co., Ltd, Nanjing, China) was uniformly suspended in dehydrated 1,4-dioxane (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), and added to a solution of PLGA/1,4-dioxane (10%, w/v). MSM (Jilin Herun Chemical Co., Ltd, China) was dissolved in acetone (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and then added into HA/PLGA/1,4-dioxane solution to obtain the MSM/HA/PLGA solution. The volume ratio of acetone and 1.4-dioxane in all the groups was consistent, and the doping levels of MSM in the obtained composites were 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, and 10%, respectively. The content of HA in all the composites was 10%. The solutions were gently stirred to obtain a homogenous suspension. Then, the obtained composite solutions were frozen within the polypropylene (PP) tubes at 4℃ for 24 hours without any protection and then vacuum dried at −4℃ to thoroughly remove 1.4-dioxane. HA/PLGA scaffolds without adding MSM were prepared using the same method as control. The samples were kept in a vacuum drying oven.

Both DMAEMA and OEGMA were purified using a column filled with inhibitor removers before polymerization. 2,2′-Azobis (isobutyronitrile) (AIBN), the radical initiator utilized, was purified by recrystallization from methanol. 4-Cyano-4-(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl)pentanoic acid (CDP) as the CTA, methyl iodide (CH3I) 1-iodohexane (C6H13I, ≥98%), 1-iodododecane (C12H25I, 98%), 1,4-dioxane (≥99.8% pure), and tetrahydrofuran (THF, ≥99.9% pure) were obtained from Sigma Aldrich, Greece and used as received, except 1-4-dioxane, which was first dried over molecular sieves. Deuterated chloroform (CDCl3) was used as the solvent for the 1H-NMR experiments and was also obtained from Sigma Aldrich, Greece. Dialysis tubing membranes (MEMBRA-CEL®) from regenerated cellulose of MWCO 3500 and a diameter of 22 mm were purchased from SERVA, Heidelberg, Germany.

TCDD Dosing in Pregnant Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TCDD (Cambride Isotopes, Andover, MA) was diluted in 1,4-dioxane (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) to a working stock concentration of 0.2 mg/mL. Appropriate volume of TCDD in 1,4-dioxane was subsequently transferred to a sterile 15 ml conical tube and the liquid was evaporated in a chemical fume hood. The TCDD residue was then suspended in olive oil (Filippo Berio, Hackensack, NJ) to a concentration of 0.3μg/ml and was mixed by rotation at room temperature. Control olive oil was added to a tube with an equal volume of evaporated 1,4-dioxane. Mice were exposed to either 3μg TCDD/Kg body weight by oral gavage on gestational days 0.5 and 7.5, or olive oil vehicle control (0.1ml per 10g). Doses were given 7 days apart to insure a relatively constant level of TCDD throughout because the half life of TCDD in a C57Bl/6 mouse is approximately one week (Miniero et al., 2001 (link); Weber and Birnbaum, 1985 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
