To address these issues, we developed a long-acting micronized formulation of relugolix long-acting microcrystalline formulation that is administered once every 28 days, and systematically evaluated its pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety profile in male Beagle dogs. In this study, we established a high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method for blood concentration detection, used a highly specific and stable ELISA method to measure serum testosterone levels, and assessed the safety of the drug in male Beagle dogs. The HPLC-MS/MS method showed good linearity (R2=0.9991). The intra-day precision varied between 2.8% and 10.9%, while the inter-day precision ranged from 1.6% to 5.4%.

A <em>Python</em> script based on <em>Bragg</em>’s law enables precise identification of crystalline details. <em>Gaussian</em> fitting of crystalline peaks further deepened the structural understanding. The effects of experimental parameters on WAXS measurements were examined to identify additional factors influencing PA5.10. Hydrothermal aging led to notable changes, including increased moisture absorption, volume expansion, enhanced crystallinity, and shifts in molecular structure and crystalline morphology. WAXS revealed that moisture-induced scattering reduced intensity, which was reversible upon re-drying. Despite an increase in crystallinity observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), WAXS did not capture a corresponding shift, likely due to the combined effects of residual moisture and annealing processes. Overall, the present study enhances the understanding of crystalline behavior of PA5.10 under hydrothermal exposure and provides a basis for future investigations into its aging processes and structural evolution. These findings contribute to a broader understanding of the long-term degradation mechanisms and stability of bio-based polyamides under hydrothermal and humid conditions.

Frequent overcurrent phenomena lead to abnormal temperature rise in cables, which has become the main cause of major electrical fire accidents. To effectively enhance the related fire resistance, flame retardants are added to the insulating materials of cables. In this study, the dual role of flame retardants in PVC-sheathed building cables is investigated, focusing on their fire-suppression capabilities and potential amplification of arc hazards under overcurrent conditions. Through TG-FTIR analysis and cone calorimeter tests, it is revealed that flame retardants effectively improve the fire resistance of insulating materials by delaying thermal degradation, generating HCl earlier to dilute flammable gases, and forming a protective carbon layer. However, by systematically investigating the fault characteristics of flame-retardant (FR) and non-flame-retardant (NFR) PVC-sheathed cables under different overcurrent conditions, combined with real-time oscilloscope monitoring data, two typical types of failure modes of PVC-sheathed cables in electrical fires are identified. In addition, comparing with that observed in NFR PVC-sheathed cables, the increase of the energy of the arc and an extension of the duration of the arc in FR PVC-sheathed cables are also observed for the same failure mode. All these facts can be attributed to the coating effect of metal chlorides and metal oxides, which inadvertently facilitates wires to be closer to each other and intensifies arc formation. This study not only emphasizes the need for a comprehensive evaluation system for the selection of flame retardants, which assesses both FR performance and impact on electrical faults, but also highlights the importance of a multi-layered defense strategy in electrical fire safety, combining FR materials with arc prevention to reduce fire risks in buildings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":406,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Degradation and Stability","volume":"241 ","pages":"Article 111619"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144904246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the wide range of its industrial applications, transitioning from petroleum-based hot-melt adhesive components to biomass-based alternatives that maintain adequate mechanical properties is essential. In this context, we introduce a novel biodegradable hot-melt adhesive system based on poly(1,4-cyclohexanedimethylene-co-isosorbide succinate-co-citrate) (PCISC), a complex polyester derived from isosorbide. This system incorporates biomass-derived monomers and demonstrates a high adhesion of 5.2 MPa, similar to that of conventional hot-melt adhesives. The structure of the PCISC with such a high adhesion is evaluated through rheological analysis, and the transition of the adhesive component upon curing is identified using two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy. The high adhesion is the result of a combination of factors, including the mobility of flexible components (1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and succinic acid), the formation of a 3D network through crosslinking of rigid components (citric acid), and partial charge interactions between the oxygen-containing moieties in isosorbide and the substrate.
