Abstract
The objective of this study was to propose a new coating film for biodegradable polymers and environmentally friendly processing. Here, a novel implementation of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) into a biodegradable alginate (ALG) film composition created a new gastric-resistant film for an enteric-release tablet. Experiments were performed on a water-soluble substance (thiamine nitrate) to characterize the effects of SLN upon the addition of the ALG coating formulation. The coated tablets or cast films were characterized based on delayed-release properties, surface morphology, moisture resistance, and chemical interactions. The SLN-ALG film displayed gastric-resistant properties (< 10% drug substance dissolved at pH 1.2) and rapid disintegration in the intestinal medium (pH 6.8). Morphological analysis using a microscope and scanning electron microscope confirmed the uniformity and smoothness of the SLN-ALG film, which improved the mechanical properties of the film. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry indicated that SLN contributed to the formation of the film, which maintained free carboxylic groups, making the SLN-ALG film a higher acid resistance, but soluble in pH 6.8 buffer. These promising results suggest a novel nanotechnology-based coating formulation for various enteric-release dosage forms. Because of their biodegradability, the proposed ingredients and processes are safe and environment-friendly.

Abstract
The periodontal ligament is a complex tissue with respect to its biomechanical behaviour. It is important to understand the mechanical behaviour of the periodontal ligament during physiological loading in healthy patients as well as during the movement of the tooth in orthodontic treatment or in patients with periodontal disease, as these might affect the mechanical properties of the periodontal ligament (PDL). Up to now, only a limited amount of in vivo data is available concerning this issue. The aim of this study has been to determine the time dependent material properties of the PDL in an experimental in vivo study, using a novel device that is able to measure tooth displacement intraorally. Using the intraoral loading device, tooth deflections at various velocities were realised in vivo on human teeth. The in vivo investigations were performed on the upper left central incisors of five volunteers aged 21-33 years with healthy periodontal tissue. A deflection, applied at the centre of the crown, was linearly increased from 0 to 0.15mm in a loading period of between 0.1 and 5.0s. Individual numerical models were developed based on the experimental results to simulate the relationship between the applied force and tooth displacement. The numerical force/displacement curves were fitted to the experimental ones to obtain the material properties of the human PDL. For the shortest loading time of 0.1s, the experimentally determined forces were between 7.0 and 16.2N. The numerically calculated Young's modulus varied between 0.9MPa (5.0s) and 1.2MPa (0.1s). By considering the experimentally and numerically obtained force curves, forces decreased with increasing loading time. The experimental data gained in this study can be used for the further development and verification of a multiphasic constitutive law of the PDL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Small flat nonpolypoid lesions of the colorectum can be technically difficult to target and completely remove; techniques such as hot biopsy forceps electrocauterization are associated with serositis, delayed bleeding, and perforation. This study aimed to describe a novel technique for the removal of such lesions and demonstrate its safety and efficacy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients aged 18 - 80 years with flat nonpolypoid lesions (Paris-Japanese classification 0-IIa and 0-IIb, measuring less than 10 mm) identified at colonoscopy were included in this prospective study. The lesions were removed by the suction pseudopolyp technique (SPT): the lesion is aspirated into the suction channel of the colonoscope and continuous suction applied for 5 seconds whilst the colonoscope is gently retracted. On release of the suction, the resulting pseudopolyp containing the lesion and a margin of normal tissue is easily ensnared and resected. The primary outcomes were endoscopic completeness of polyp resection and complication rate. RESULTS Over a 12-month period, 1231 polyps were removed during 2656 colonoscopies; 126 polyps (in 101 patients) met inclusion criteria. Complete endoscopic resection was achieved in 100 % of the polyps, without immediate or delayed complication. Of the resected lesions, 57 % had malignant potential (adenomas 47 % and sessile serrated lesions 10 %); a higher proportion of lesions removed from the right colon had malignant potential compared with those from the left colon (75 % vs. 41 %, P = 0.0066). CONCLUSIONS Diminutive flat lesions of the colorectum are predominantly adenomas and sessile serrated lesions. SPT is a safe, effective, and reproducible therapy for removal of these lesions.
