Oral product input to the GI tract: GIS an oral product performance technology

Gordon L. Amidon, Yasuhiro Tsume

Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering 2017, Volume 11, Issue 4,   Pages 516-520 doi: 10.1007/s11705-017-1658-7

Abstract: The patient receives a pharmaceutical product, not a drug. The pharmaceutical products are formulated with a drug, an active ingredient to produce the maximum therapeutic effect after oral absorption. Therefore, it is the product we must optimize for the patients. In order to assure the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products, we need an predictive tool for oral product performance in patients. Currently, we are a surprisingly long way from accomplishing that objective. If the 20th century was the ‘age of the drug’, i.e., the ‘magic bullet’, the 21st century must become the ‘age of the guided missile’, i.e., the delivery system, including the form of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) (‘drug’). The physical form of the drug and the delivery system must be optimized to maximize the therapeutic benefits of pharmaceutical products for humans. Oral immediate release (IR) dosage forms cannot be optimal for all drugs or likely even any drugs (APIs). Still, the formulation of pharmaceutical products has to be optimized for patients. But how do we optimize oral delivery of drugs? It is usually through ‘trial and error’, in humans! We need a better way to optimize the oral dosage forms. We have suggested to select different dissolution methodologies for this optimization based on BCS Subclasses. In this article, we present the predicted drug dissolution profile of ketoconazole as a model drug from our laboratory utilizing a gastrointestinal simulator (GIS), which is an adaptation of the ASD system. GIS consists of three chambers representing stomach, duodenum, and jejunum, to create the human gastrointestinal tract-like environment and enable the control the gastric emptying rate. This dissolution system allows the monitoring of the drug dissolution phenomena and the observation of the supersaturation and the precipitation of pharmaceutical products, which is useful information to predict dissolution of pharmaceutical products. This system can provide the actual input needed to accurately predict the input into the systemic circulation required by many of the absorption prediction packages available today.

Redesigned Duplex RT-qPCR for the Detection of GI and GII Human Noroviruses Article

Danlei Liu, Zilei Zhang, Qingping Wu, Peng Tian, Haoran Geng, Ting Xu, Dapeng Wang

Engineering 2020, Volume 6, Issue 4,   Pages 442-448 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2019.08.018

Abstract:

Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are major foodborne pathogens that cause nonbacterial acute gastroenteritis worldwide. As the tissue-culture system for HuNoVs is not mature enough for routine detection of the virus, detection is mainly dependent on molecular approaches such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and reverse transcription quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The widely used primers and probes for RT-qPCR were established in the early 2000s. As HuNoVs are highly variant viruses, viral genome mutations result in previously designed primers and/or probes that were perfectly matched working less efficiently over time. In this study, a new duplex RT-qPCR (ND-RT-qPCR) was designed for the detection of genogroup I (GI) and genogroup II (GII) HuNoVs based on an analysis of viral sequences added in the database after 2010. Using long transcribed viral RNAs, the results demonstrate that the sensitivity of ND-RT-qPCR is as low as one genomic copy for both GI and GII HuNoVs. The performance of ND-RT-qPCR was further evaluated by a comparison with the commonly used Kageyama primer-probe sets for RT-qPCR (Kageyama RT-qPCR) for 23 HuNoV-positive clinical samples. All five GI samples were registered as positive by ND-RT-qPCR, whereas only two samples were registered as positive by Kageyama RT-qPCR. All 18 GII samples were registered as positive by ND-RT-qPCR, while 17 samples were registered as positive by Kageyama RT-qPCR. The sensitivity reflected by the Cq value was lower in ND-RT-qPCR than in Kageyama RT-qPCR. Our data suggest that ND-RT-qPCR could be a good fit for the detection of current strains of HuNoVs.

Fire hazard in transportation infrastructure: Review, assessment, and mitigation strategies

Venkatesh KODUR, M. Z. NASER

Frontiers of Structural and Civil Engineering 2021, Volume 15, Issue 1,   Pages 46-60 doi: 10.1007/s11709-020-0676-6

Abstract: This paper reviews the fire problem in critical transportation infrastructures such as bridges and tunnels. The magnitude of the fire problem is illustrated, and the recent increase in fire problems in bridges and tunnels is highlighted. Recent research undertaken to address fire problems in transportation structures is reviewed, as well as critical factors governing the performance of those structures. Furthermore, key strategies recommended for mitigating fire hazards in bridges and tunnels are presented, and their applicability to practical situations is demonstrated through a practical case study. Furthermore, research needs and emerging trends for enhancing the “state-of-the-art” in this area are discussed.
