In order to study the effect of molecular weight of polycarboxylate-type superplasticizer (PC) on the rheological properties of cement pastes, PCs with different molecular weights (low, medium, high) were synthesized, and used as superplasticizers for cement suspensions. The effect of molecular weight of PC on the zeta potential, adsorption, and rheological behaviour of the corresponding cement suspensions were investigated systematically. Among the PCs, PC with a medium molecular weight always produced the lowest apparent viscosity for cement pastes at the same shear rate. Compared to PC with a low molecular weight, PC with a high molecular weight presented a stronger initial dispersing ability and a weaker dispersing stabilizing ability for cement pastes. In addition, PC with a low molecular weight had an advantage over PC with a high molecular weight for reducing the viscosity of paste in the low added dosage or low water/cement ratio, but the latter had the advantage of reducing the viscosity of the paste when the added dosage or water/cement ratio was high. This understanding of the rheological properties of cement pastes incorporating PC will provide an important reference for the application and synthesis of PC with high efficiency.

Abstract Background and Aims The purpose of hemodiafiltration (HDF) is to remove small- to large molecular weight solutes in order to prevent and treat complications and to improve the prognosis of dialysis patients. Especially, larger low molecular weight proteins (LMWPs) must be removed efficiently. β2-microglobulin (MG) (molecular weight [MW], 11.8 kDa: Stokes radius, 15.6A), is considered as an important marker of dialysis efficiency. However, MW of β2-MG is too small as a marker in HDF. Conversely, α1-MG (MW, 33 kDa: Stokes radius, 28.4A) is the most appropriate marker for evaluation of solute removal efficiency of HDF because of the following reasons: (1) optical molecular size; (2) not very low physiological blood concentration; (3) stable production rate; (4) removal by convection; and (5) accumulation in ESRD. Efficient removal of α1-MG without losing albumin (Alb) (MW,66 kDa: Stokes radius, 35.5A) is impossible even by HDF. In this study, we investigated the relationship between LMWP removal efficiencies and the volume of Alb leakage by analyzing the results of patients undergoing HDF. And we also evaluated the trend of the serum levels of patients who had received high-efficiency HDF for more than three years Method Eighty-seven patients who had received HDF in 2018–2019 were included. The results of HDF (a total of 435 sessions) were analyzed (blood flow rate, 261.5±28.5 mL/min; replacement fluid volume, 48.7 L/s pre-dilution on-line HDF and 14.2 L/s post-dilution on-line HDF). The removal efficiencies of β2-MG, prolactin (PRL), and α1-MG, and the volume of Alb leakage were examined. In addition, the relationship between the removal efficiency of each solute and the volume of Alb leakage was investigated. Changes in serum Alb level were analyzed in 13 patients who continued to receive high-efficiency HDF (the removal rate of α1-MG was 30% or more) for more than three years. Results Analysis of the results (mean ± SD) obtained from a total of 435 sessions (87 patients) showed that the removal rates of β2-MG, PRL, and α1-MG were 80.7 ± 4.5%, 75.8±9.4 and 33.8 ± 9.4%, respectively, and the Alb leakage was 3.9 ± 1.8 g/s. The equations of the approximate curve between Alb leakage and β2-MG, PRL, and α1-MG removal rates were expressed as follows: ï½™= 1.4197ln(x) + 78.972 (R2 = 0.0426), y = 9.7185ln(x) + 64.134 (R2 =0.4632), and ï½™™= 11.225ln(x) + 20.282 (R2 = 0.6191), respectively. These results indicate that the dynamics between Alb leakage and α1-MG removal are very similar. That is, although the molecular weight of Alb is twice as that of α1-MG, the difference in their Stokes radius is 20%; therefore, separate removal of Alb and α1-MG is impossible. The mean serum Alb level in 13 patients who received high-efficiency HDF for 3 years or longer was 3.59 ± 0.23 g/dL in January 2017 and 3.69 ± 0.28 g/dL in December 2019, revealing no changes. Conclusion The efficient removal of larger LMWPs leads to the leakage of Alb. However, an Alb leakage of 3 to 6 g/s has little influence on the serum Alb level of patients. Thus, α1-MG is the most appropriate marker of the solute removal efficiency of HDF.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is often characterized by continued reduction in blood flow supply to limbs. Advanced therapeutic strategies like gene therapy could potentially be applied to limb ischemia therapy. However, developing a gene delivery system with low toxicity and high efficiency remains a great challenge. In this study, a one-pot construction was used to integrate vector synthesis and polyplex fabrication simultaneously in a simple and robust manner. We fabricated an interpenetrating gene delivery network through the physical interaction between low-molecular-weight polyethylenimine (PEI 1.8 kDa) and plasmid DNA (pDNA) and the chemical bonding between PEI and glutaraldehyde (GA), which was named the glutaraldehydelinked-branched PEI (GPEI) polyplex. The final GPEI polyplex system was pH-responsive and biodegradable due to the imine linkage and it could successfully deliver desired vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pDNA. Compared with PEI (25 kDa)/pDNA polyplexes, GPEI polyplexes showed lower cytotoxicity and higher transfection efficiency both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, we demonstrated that GPEI polyplexes could efficiently promote the formation of new capillaries in vivo, which may provide a practicable strategy for clinical hindlimb ischemia therapy in the future.

Low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) are considered to be the most successful carbohydrate-based drugs because of their wide use as anticoagulants in clinics. The efficacy of anticoagulants made by LMWHs mainly depends on the components and structures of LMWHs. Therefore, deciphering the components and identifying the structures of LMWHs are critical to developing high-efficiency anticoagulants. However, most LMWHs are mixtures of linear polysaccharides which are comprised of several disaccharide repeating units with high similarity, making it extremely challenging to separate and decipher each component in LMWHs. Here, we present a new algorithm named hepParser to decipher the main components of LMWHs automatically and precisely based on the liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) data. When tested on the general LMWH using hepParser, profiling of the oligosaccharides with different degrees of polymerization (dp’s) was completed with high accuracy within 1 minute. When compared with the results of GlycReSoft on heparan sulfate samples, hepParser achieved more comprehensive and reasonable results automatically.
