A rare case of hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Hepatoid adenocarcinoma of the lung is a special type of primary origin in the lung with obvious pathological features and short survival time. However, standard treatment guidelines have not yet been established. Herein, we report a case of hepatoid adenocarcinoma with the primary lesion located in the left upper lung. The tumour size was reduced after four cycles of combined therapy. Subsequent postoperative pathology confirmed complete remission.

Capillary electrophoresis investigation on equilibrium between polymer-related and surfactant-related species in aqueous polymer-surfactant solutions.

It was inferred from aqueous solution behavior of nonionic polymers and anionic surfactants that the formation of charged polymer-bound surfactant micelle above critical aggregation concentration (cac) and the formation of free surfactant micelle beyond polymer saturation point (psp), but there was still a lack of direct experimental evidence for the considered equilibrium chemical species. Three modes of capillary electrophoresis are applied in this paper to study the complexation between nonionic polymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) or polyethylene glycol (PEG), and sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) by successfully distinguishing the imaginary charged polymer-bound SDBS micelle from nonionic polymer and SDBS molecule. Perhaps even more important, it is the action of SDBS as both a main surfactant and a UV probe that makes the free surfactant micelle emerged in electropherogram beyond psp, and thus makes it possible for the first time to provide the equilibrium relationship of the polymer-related and the surfactant-related species in the concentration regions divided into by cac and psp.

Polyvinylpyrrolidone-sodium dodecylsulfate complex is a family of pseudo-polyanions with different charge densities: Evidence from capillary electrophoresis, capillary viscosimetry and conductometry.

Accordance with the previously supposed polyelectrolyte-like behaviour of neutral polymer-anionic surfactant complexes, direct evidence for the formation of the pseudo-polyanions in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) solution is put forward in this paper by capillary electrophoresis (CE) experiments in assistance with capillary viscosimetry and conductometry. The contradictory phenomena of the absolute value of relative electrophoretic mobility (re) increasing while the ionization degree (α) decreasing with the increasing specific clusterization [Г] in aqueous PVP-SDS solution are explained by the finding that the PVP-SDS complex is eventually a family of PVP-SDS pseudo-polyanions with different charge densities. And it is found countercations playing an important role in the formation of the PVP-SDS pseudo-polyanions in virtue of bridge effect.
