Adhesion of thiolated silica nanoparticles to urinary bladder mucosa: effects of PEGylation, thiol content and particle size
Intravesical drug administration is used to deliver cytotoxic agents through a catheter to treat bladder cancer. One major limitation of this approach is poor retention of the drug in the bladder due to periodic urine voiding. Mucoadhesive dosage forms thus offer significant potential to improve drug retention in the bladder. Here, we investigate thiolated silica nanoparticles retention on porcine bladder mucosa in vitro, quantified through Wash Out50 (WO50) values, defined as the volume of liquid necessary to remove 50% of the adhered particles from a mucosal tissue. Following irrigation with artificial urine solution, the thiolated nanoparticles demonstrate significantly greater retention (WO50 up to 36 mL) compared to non-mucoadhesive dextran (WO50 7 mL), but have weaker mucoadhesive properties than chitosan (WO50 89 mL). PEGylation of thiolated silica reduces their mucoadhesion with WO50 values of 29 and 8 mL for particles decorated with 750 and 5000 Da PEG, respectively. The retention of thiolated silica nanoparticles is dependent on their thiol group contents and physical dimensions

Controlling the size of thiolated organosilica nanoparticles
Nanoparticle characteristics, including their size, are governed by the reagents employed and the reaction parameters. Here, we systemically vary the catalyst, oxygen content, temperature and solvent to modify the size and zeta potential of thiolated organosilica nanoparticles. Particles were synthesized by self-condensation of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) in a range of organic solvents in contact with oxygen, with NaOH and other catalysts. Particle size increased with increasing reaction temperature (70 ± 1 nm at 50 °C; 50 ± 1 nm at room temperature) but decreased when air was bubbled through the reaction mixture compared to no bubbling. Significant decrease in particle size was seen with increasing the dielectric constant of the solvent and with increasing catalyst concentration; from these we provide empirical equations that can be used to design particle sizes by manipulating the dielectric constant of the solvent (or co-solvents) or by varying NaOH catalyst concentration when DMSO is the selected solvent
Including Limited Partners in the Diversity Jurisdiction Analysis
This paper presents the results of the Dynamic Pricing Challenge, held on the occasion of the 17th INFORMS Revenue Management and Pricing Section Conference on June 29â30, 2017 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. For this challenge, participants submitted algorithms for pricing and demand learning of which the numerical performance was analyzed in simulated market environments. This allows consideration of market dynamics that are not analytically tractable or can not be empirically analyzed due to practical complications. Our findings implicate that the relative performance of algorithms varies substantially across different market dynamics, which confirms the intrinsic complexity of pricing and learning in the presence of competition

Provider risks connected with uncertainty in the legal nature of online gamesâ terms of use
In the practice of the Russian courts, when creating an account in an online multiplayer game, any agreement concluded between the provider and the user seems to be covered by article 1062 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which is why this topic is not subject to judicial examination. However, this approach is unlikely to be applied for much longer, as it does not stand up to criticism. It can only be interpreted as a court attempt to insulate itself from the issue of virtual property. This article is devoted to the consideration the key risks to a provider related to the uncertain legal status of an online gamesâ terms of use, particularly the prohibition to share a userâs account or login credentials with anyone and a userâs actual rights to virtual content associated with his account. To achieve the research goal, the authors review the legal literature and perform a case study in this area, use a comparative method to identify legislative approaches in different legal systems regarding a userâs rights to their account and the virtual content connected with it, and determine the aspects of the user agreement that obviously contain risks for the provider. As a result of the research, the authors conclude that online multiplayer games are a sphere that tends to self-regulate. Therefore, to the extent possible, the risk of imbalance between self-regulation capabilities and the need to avoid abuse of the current situation, both by providers and users, should be minimized. The main source of regulation for relations between providers and players remains an agreement between them, which can be qualified as a mixed contract. However, such a qualification carries a risk for the provider, due to the complexity of determining the consequences of using the agreement as a single document, which combines various goals, ranging from determining the amount of processing of a playerâs data and to fixing the legal regime of a userâs account. Regarding prohibition to share a userâs account, the authors assume that, according to Russian legislation, the most appropriate path is to determine it as a prohibition of assignment to secure providers from the liability for protection of usersâ data. The lack of special regulation in this area allows the provider, through the terms of use, to sidestep the potential risk of protecting the playerâs copyright on virtual content associated with his account. The authors, however, suggest that using an analogue of the American âsweat of the browâ doctrine in user agreements can to a certain extent remove the providerâs risks associated with the playersâ real rights to their in-game property
Radiation-induced alternative transcription and splicing events and their applicability to practical biodosimetry
Accurate assessment of the individual exposure dose based on easily accessible samples (e.g. blood) immediately following a radiological accident is crucial. We aimed at developing a robust transcription-based signature for biodosimetry from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells irradiated with different doses of X-rays (0.1 and 1.0 Gy) at a dose rate of 0.26 Gy/min. Genome-wide radiation-induced changes in mRNA expression were evaluated at both gene and exon level. Using exon-specific qRT-PCR, we confirmed that several biomarker genes are alternatively spliced or transcribed after irradiation and that different exons of these genes exhibit significantly different levels of induction. Moreover, a significant number of radiation-responsive genes were found to be genomic neighbors. Using three different classification models we found that gene and exon signatures performed equally well on dose prediction, as long as more than 10 features are included. Together, our results highlight the necessity of evaluating gene expression at the level of single exons for radiation biodosimetry in particular and transcriptional biomarker research in general. This approach is especially advisable for practical gene expression-based biodosimetry, for which primer-or probe-based techniques would be the method of choice
