Dendrimers are nanosized, arborescent macromolecules synthesized in a stepwise fashion with attractive degrees of functionality and structure definition. This is one of the reasons why they are widely used for biomedical applications. Previously, we have shown that a poly(phosphorhydrazone) (PPH) dendrimer capped with anionic azabisphosphonate groups (so-called ABP dendrimer) has immuno-modulatory and anti-inflammatory properties towards human immune cells in vitro. Thereafter, we have shown that the ABP dendrimer has a promising therapeutic efficacy to treat models of acute and chronic inflammatory disorders in animal models. In these models, the active pharmaceutical ingredient was administered systematically (intravenous and oral administrations), but also loco-regionally in the vitreous tissue. Herein, we assessed the therapeutic efficacy of the ABP dendrimer in the preclinical mouse model of psoriasis induced by imiquimod. The ABP dendrimer was administered in phosphate-buffered saline solution via either systemic injection or topical application. We show that the topical application enabled the control of both the clinical and histopathological scores, and the control of the infiltration of macrophages in the skin of treated mice.

Wear resistance of arc ion-plated chromium nitride films has been studied. It has been found that texture and phases composing the films depend much on bias voltage and nitrogen gas pressure at the deposition. A phase diagram was constructed as a function of these two parameters, which indicated that three categories exist: CrN single, CrN and Cr2N dual, and CrN and Cr dual phased regions, respectively. Results of Falex No. 2 test showed that the wear resistance of CrN single phased films is superior to others, especially when (220) preferred orientation is developed. Since hardness and surface morphology do not differ much between these films, a high toughness of CrN single phased film is considered to make a difference by suppressing abrasion wear.
