Fluorescence/temperature-sensitive hydrogels, thanks to their properties in fluorescence and temperature sensitivity, have shown a promising outlook in the fields of drug delivery, cell imaging, etc., and thus become the focus of present research. This paper reports the preparation of green-fluorescence/temperature-sensitive hydrogels through one-step radical polymerization with green fluorescence-emissioned carbon dots as fluorescence probes and N-isopropylacrylamide as a monomer. UV-vis spectra, fluorescence spectra, and fluorescence microscope imaging have been used to characterize the prepared hydrogel, and to study their optical and temperature-sensitive properties. It was discovered that the emission of prepared hydrogel is excitation wavelength-dependent, pH responding, and excellent temperature-sensitive, as well as having good biocompatibility. The prepared hydrogel can also be applied as fluorescence ink in the fields of anti-counterfeit identification and appraisal.

The present study focuses on development of novel thermoreversible ophthalmic drug delivery system using Ganciclovir as potential candidate for treatment of various ocular infections. The formulation was prepared for thermoreversible gel which incorporates liposomes of Ganciclovir as core system. Thermoreversible gel prolongs delivery of drug with use of combination of polymers like Poloxamer, Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose. The Poloxamer used here serves as temperature sensitive polymer. Thus prepared system was evaluated for various parameters. Liposomes found to be complies with basic requirement like non-leak ability, high in-vitro drug release with optimum encapsulation efficiency. The results obtained showed that the in situ gel is clear and transparent (prime requirement for ophthalmic product) with high gelling capacity and moderately viscous liquid (1454 cp), highest bioadhesive strength (Dyne/cm2). The ex-vivo study was also done and compared with marketed eye drop formulation. The results showed superiority of in situ gel formulation over eye in sustaining the drug release over prolong period of time. The haemolytic study performed proved the non-haemolytic nature of formulation.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop an in situ ocular gel of ofloxacin which aimed to prolong corneal residence time while controlling drug release. Method: In situ gelling solutions were prepared from Poloxamer 407, a temperature-sensitive gelling polymer and to which, mucoadhesive polymers such as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose 15 cps and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were included to provide corneal adhesion. Drug incorporated gels were prepared and evaluated for their appearance, pH, gelation temperature, and in vitro drug release studies. Results: Incorporation of the drug into the formulation increased the gelation temperature while the addition of mucoadhesive polymers decreased the gelation temperature. Increasing the concentration of bio-adhesive polymers retarded the release of ofloxacin from the poloxamer solutions and drug release was sustained over a period of 9 h. PVA had no significant effect on the gelation temperature and could not sustain the drug release for a longer duration. The in vitro release profiles of the drug from all the formulations could be best expressed by Higuchi’s equation which indicated that gels followed matrix diffusion process and drug release from gel formulations followed first-order process. Conclusion: The results showed that the developed system would be promising in the treatment of ocular infections with the combined advantages of ease of administration, the accuracy of dosing, increased bioavailability, and prolonged retention time.

A fire involving an electric service transformer and its cooling fluid, a mixture of PCBs and chlorinated benzenes, contaminated an office building with a fine soot. Chemical analysis showed PCDDs and PCDFs including the highly toxic tetra isomers. Guinea pigs were chosen as an experimental animal to test the soot's toxicity because of their sensitivity to these compounds, and the liver was examined because it is a target organ. The soot was suspended in 0.75% methyl cellulose and administered in a single dose by gavage at levels of 1,10,100, and 500mgm soot/kgm body weight. Each dose group was composed of 6 males and 6 females. Control groups included 12 (6 male, 6 female) animals fed activated carbon in methyl cellulose, 6 males fed methyl cellulose, and 16 males and 10 females untreated. The guinea pigs were sacrificed at 42 days by suffocation in CO2. Liver samples were immediately immersed and minced in 2% gluteraldehyde in cacadylate buffer at pH 7.4 and 4°C. After overnight fixation, samples were postfixed in 1% OsO4 in cacodylate for 1 hr at room temperature, embedded in epon, sectioned and stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate.

Oncogenic viruses, like viruses in general, can be divided into two classes, those that contain deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and those that contain ribonucleic acid (RNA). The RNA viruses have been recovered readily from the tumors which they cause whereas, the DNA-virus induced tumors have not yielded the virus. Since DNA viruses cannot be recovered, the bulk of present day investigations have been concerned with RNA viruses.The Lucké renal adenocarcinoma is a spontaneous tumor which occurs in northern leopard frogs (Rana pipiens) and has received increased attention in recent years because of its probable viral etiology. This hypothesis was first advanced by Lucké after he observed intranuclear inclusions in some of the tumor cells. Tumors with inclusions were examined at the fine structural level by Fawcett who showed that they contained immature and mature virus˗like particles.The use of this system in the study of oncogenic tumors offers several unique features, the virus has been shown to contain DNA and it can be recovered from the tumor, also, it is temperature sensitive. This latter feature is of importance because the virus can be transformed from a latent to a vegetative state by lowering or elevating the environmental temperature.
