The following keywords were used: "surgery", "anaesthesia", "anesthesia", "anesthesiology", "anaesthesiology", "fluids", "fluid therapy", "crystalloid", "saline", "plasma-Lyte", "plasmalyte", "hartmann's", "ringers" "acetate", "gluconate", "malate", "lactate". All relevant articles were accessed in full. We summarized the data and reported the data in tables and text. RESULTS We retrieved 104 articles relevant to the choice of Plasma-Lyte 148 for fluid intervention in critical illness, surgery and perioperative medicine. We analyzed the data and reported the results in tables and text.CONCLUSION Plasma-Lyte 148 is an isotonic, buffered intravenous crystalloid solution with a physiochemical composition that closely reflects human plasma. Emerging data supports the use of buffered crystalloid solutions in preference to saline in improving physicochemical outcomes. Further large randomized controlled trials assessing the comparative effectiveness of PlasmaLyte 148 and other crystalloid solutions in measuring clinically important outcomes such as morbidity and mortality are needed.展开更多

The present research described the in-depth study on solid state properties viz. physicochemical and thermal properties of magnesium gluconate using sophisticated analytical techniques like Powder X-ray diffraction(PXRD), particle size analysis(PSA),Fourier transform infrared(FT-IR) spectrometry, ultraviolet–visible(UV–Vis) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis(TGA)/differential thermogravimetric analysis(DTG), and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC).Magnesium gluconate was found to be crystalline in nature along with the crystallite size ranging from 14.10 to47.35 nm. The particle size distribution was at d(0.1)=6.552 μm, d(0.5)=38.299 μm, d(0.9)=173.712 μm and D(4,3)=67.122 μm along with the specific surface area of 0.372 m^2/g. The wavelength for the maximum absorbance was at 198.0 nm. Magnesium gluconate exhibited 88.51% weight loss with three stages of thermal degradation process up to 895.18 °C from room temperature. The TGA/DTG thermograms of the analyte indicated that magnesium gluconate was thermally stable up to around 165 °C. Consequently, the melting temperature of magnesium gluconate was found to be 169.90 °C along with the enthalpy of fusion of 308.7 J/g.Thus, the authors conclude that the achieved results from this study are very useful in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for the identification, characterization and qualitative analysis of magnesium gluconate for preformulation studies and also for developing magnesium gluconate based novel formulation.展开更多

These hybrid microspheres were treated with an alkaline solution for different period of time to control the amount of generated carboxylate groups and remained CG on the surface. The microspheres were then incubated in a supersaturated simulated body fluid （1.5 SBF） solution for different time to investigate their biomimetic mineralization behavior. The depositions were found to have a fine cluster morphology, a similar crystal structure and chemical structure to natural hydroxyapatite, and a medium Ca/P of approximately 1.30. The effect of surface treating time on the structure and mineralization behavior of these microspheres has been discussed in detail. The results indicate that the nucleation and growth of apatite on the surface are influenced by the induced carboxylate groups and the remained CG. The hybrid CG-g- PDLLA microspheres have the potential as a novel alternative in bone tissue engineering.展开更多

Patients are prone to infection during the transplantation immune deficiency period. There has been a lot of clinical research into how to better manage this period of vulnerability. Objective: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) for skin disinfection in patients undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and observe any adverse reactions. Methods: A total of 106 patients receiving autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from November 2019 to December 2020 in our district were selected as the control group. From January 2021 to January 2022, 106 patients with autologous hematopoietic stem cells were included in the experimental group. The control group used the immersion bath method. The experimental group was treated with an improved scrub bath method (including 3M 2% chlorhexidine gluconate medical sanitary wipes to wipe the whole skin once). Results: The bacteria-carrying rate of the improved method (37.74%) was significantly better than that of the traditional soaking method (72.64%), and the difference was statistically significant (P Conclusion: The improved bath/wipe method has a significant positive effect on skin disinfection for patients undergoing HSCT.展开更多

When AD occurs, the relevant amount of zinc ions in brain considerably changes. In this contribution, we have explored the possibility of in vivo rapid fluorescence imaging of AD through accurate targeting biomarker of zinc gluconate. By using the 3- and 6-month-old Alzheimer's model mice(AD-1) as the experimental models, our observations demonstrate that zinc gluconate molecules could pass through the blood–brain barrier and then produce hippocampus region-specific accumulation of fluorescent zinc nanoclusters in vivo, thus allowing kinetically controlled selective imaging of AD by fluorescence bioimaging.展开更多
