Novel liquid composites were successfully prepared by blending copolymer (PEG/PHS) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in this work. PEG/PHS was achieved by introducing polyethylene glycol (PEG) into the main chain of poly hexanediol succinic (PHS). The results showed that the structure characterization of PEG/PHS was displayed in 1H NMR spectrum. The interaction existed between PEG/PHS and CMC which was validated in FT-IR and SEM. This conjecture was simulated by molecular dynamics under the software YASARA. Because of the existence of interfacial interaction, composites films kept good thermal performance and the flexibility of composite films was greatly improved.

Rheological Characterization

(1) Background: Injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are used to restore volume, hydration and skin tone in aesthetic medicine. HA fillers differ from each other due to their cross-linking technologies, with the aim to increase mechanical and biological activities. One of the most recent and promising cross-linkers is polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE), used by the company Matex Lab S.p.A., (Brindisi, Italy) to create the HA dermal filler PEGDE family. Over the last few years, several studies have been performed to investigate the biocompatibility and biodegradability of these formulations, but little information is available regarding their matrix structure, rheological and physicochemical properties related to their cross-linking technologies, the HA content or the degree of cross-linking. (2) Methods: Seven different injectable HA hydrogels were subjected to optical microscopic examination, cohesivity evaluation and rheological characterization in order to investigate their behavior. (3) Results: The analyzed cross-linked dermal fillers showed a fibrous “spiderweb-like” matrix structure, with each medical device presenting different and peculiar rheological features. Except for HA non cross-linked hydrogel 18 mg/mL, all showed an elastic and cohesive profile. (4) Conclusions: The comparative analysis with other literature works makes a preliminary characterization of these injectable medical devices possible.

AbstractThe opportunistic human pathogen Penicillium marneffei exhibits a temperature-dependent dimorphic switch. At 25°, multinucleate, septate hyphae that can undergo differentiation to produce asexual spores (conidia) are produced. At 37° hyphae undergo arthroconidiation to produce uninucleate yeast cells that divide by fission. This work describes the cloning of the P. marneffei gasC gene encoding a G-protein α-subunit that shows high homology to members of the class III fungal Gα-subunits. Characterization of a ΔgasC mutant and strains carrying a dominant-activating gasCG45R or a dominant-interfering gasCG207R allele show that GasC is a crucial regulator of germination. A ΔgasC mutant is severely delayed in germination, whereas strains carrying a dominant-activating gasCG45R allele show a significantly accelerated germination rate. Additionally, GasC signaling positively affects the production of the red pigment by P. marneffei at 25° and negatively affects the onset of conidiation and the conidial yield, showing that GasC function overlaps with functions of the previously described Gα-subunit GasA. In contrast to the S. cerevisiae ortholog Gpa2, our data indicate that GasC is not involved in carbon or nitrogen source sensing and plays no major role in either hyphal or yeast growth or in the switch between these two forms.
