Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in-use physicochemical and biological stability of the Sandoz rituximab biosimilar, marketed under the trade names Rixathon® and Riximyo® in the European Union, upon preparation for intravenous infusion. Methods Three batches of Rixathon®/Riximyo® in the final month of their 36 month shelf life were exposed to room temperature and light for 14 days to recapitulate a major temperature excursion. Samples were diluted to the lowest allowable concentration of 1 mg/mL in 0.9% NaCl solution in either polypropylene or polyethylene infusion bags and stored for 14 or 30 days at 5 ± 3℃ followed by an additional 24 h at room temperature to simulate product handling. Samples stored in infusion bags were analyzed using SEC, CEX, non-reducing CE-SDS, peptide mapping and CDC to assess physicochemical and biological stability. Results Analysis of Rixathon®/Riximyo® diluted to the lowest allowable concentration in 0.9% sodium chloride in either polypropylene or polyethylene infusion bags revealed no change in molecular weight variants, charge variants, deamidation, oxidation, overall composition or potency over a 31-day period. Conclusion Physicochemical and biological analyses demonstrate that Rixathon®/Riximyo® stability is not impacted by dilution and formulation conditions required for intravenous infusion, even under worst case conditions with regard to product shelf life, temperature excursion, light exposure, dilution factor and infusion bag storage time over a 31-day period.

AbstractThe optical degradation of polysilane copolymer has been studied in spin cast thin films and solutions using light source of 325 nm wavelength. The room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of these films show a sharp emission at 368 nm when excited with a source of 325 nm. However, the PL intensity deteriorates with time upon light exposure. Further the causes of this degradation have been examined by characterizing the material for its transmission behaviour and changes occurring in molecular weight as analysed by GPC data.

The antioxidant activity of cookies prepared by the addition of sugarbeet dietary fibers was investigated in order to estimate their influence on functional characteristics and shelf-life of cookies. Treated fiber (TF) was obtained from sugarbeet by extraction with sulfurous acid (75 °C at pH = 5.7during 60 min) and treatment with hydrogen peroxide (20 g/LH2O2 at pH = 11 during 24 h). The fiber obtained was dried (80 °C), ground and sieved. TF was investigated in comparison with commercially available Fibrex®. The cookies were prepared by the addition of 0, 7, 9 and 11% of sugarbeet dietary fiber as a substitute for wheat flour in the formulation of cookies. The antioxidant properties of cookies were tested every 7 days using a DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity test during 6 weeks of storage at room temperature (23 ± 1 ºC). The obtained results indicated that substitution of wheat flour with Fibrex® in the formulation of cookies upgraded the antioxidant activity, i.e. the functional characteristics of Fibrex®-enriched cookies and could prolong their shelf-life. In contrast, TF did not increase the antioxidant activity of TF-enriched cookies. The better antioxidant activities of Fibrex®-enriched cookies could be attributed to the presence of ferulic acid.

In this experiment, we assessed the germination and vigor of quinoa seeds packed in paper bags and stored at room temperature for 36, 85, 119, 146, 177 and 270 days. The seeds were harvested under experimental conditions in Marechal Candido Rondon, Paraná, during the 2012/13 growing seasons. Four replicates of 100 seeds each were established for each storage time, and the seeds were evaluated, on paper, based on the BOD under the following experimental temperature conditions: alternating temperatures of 20 and 30°C and a constant temperature of 25°C. The seeds from both treatments were subject to seven-hour photoperiods and 25°C under continuous darkness. The germinated seeds were counted daily for eight days after sowing, and we evaluated the percentages of normal and abnormal seedlings and the germination index. The experimental design was completely randomized using a split-plot design. Increasing the storage time decreased the percentage of germinated seeds and seed vigor due to the increased number of abnormal seedlings. Over the 430-day study period, quinoa seed germination completely declined under the experimental conditions. The final number of germinating seeds should be evaluated 7 days after the beginning of the germination test.

The present paper investigates the current status of the storage times in self-organized QDs, surveying a variety of heterostructures advantageous for strong electron and/or hole confinement. Experimental data for the electronic properties, such as localization energies and capture cross-sections, are listed. Based on the theory of thermal emission of carriers from QDs, we extrapolate the values for materials that would increase the storage time at room temperature to more than millions of years. For electron storage, GaSb/AlSb, GaN/AlN, and InAs/AlSb are proposed. For hole storage, GaSb/Al0.9Ga0.1As, GaSb/GaP, and GaSb/AlP are promising candidates.

W/Cu multilayer nanofilms and pure W nanofilms were prepared in pure Ar and He/Ar mixing atmosphere by radio frequency magnetron sputtering method. The defect evolution of the samples was characterized by Doppler broadening positron annihilation spectroscopy (DB-PAS).The results show that plenty of defects can be produced by introducing helium (He) into W/Cu multilayer nanofilms. With the natural storage time increasing, the helium located in the near surface of W/Cu multilayer nanofilm would be released gradually and induce the coalescence of the helium related defects due to the diffusion of the helium and defects. In addition, the pure W nanofilms were irradiated by 30 keV helium ions and 40 keV hydrogen (H) ions in sequence at room temperature. From the DB-PAS analysis, it can be shown that a large number of vacancy-type defects are produced due to the He and/or H irradiation. H ions would be trapped by He related defects and produced He-H-V complexes.

ABSTRACTThe cross-plane thermal conductivities of InGaZnO (IGZO) thin films in different morphologies were measured on three occasions within 19 months, using the 3ω method at room temperature 300 K. Amorphous (a-), semi-crystalline (semi-c-) and crystalline (c-) IGZO films were grown by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), followed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) for evaluation of film quality and crystallinity. Semi-c-IGZO shows the highest thermal conductivity, even higher than the most ordered crystal-like phase. After being stored in dry low-oxygen environment for months, a drastic decrease of semi-c-IGZO thermal conductivity was observed, while the thermal conductivity slightly reduced in c-IGZO and remained unchanged in a-IGZO. This change in thermal conductivity with storage time can be attributed to film structural relaxation and vacancy diffusion to grain boundaries.
