## Abstract ## Background and Objective Both photodynamic (PDT) and photothermal (PTT) therapy have proven to be effective treatment strategies for cancer, but the approach of combining them into a single treatment modality may offer better treatment efficacy. We compare the treatment efficacy of
Sol-to-gel systems of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride were prepared utilizing the phase transition properties of hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose K 15 M grade (HPMC) and carbopol 934. The sol-to-gel systems were sterilized by gamma radiation and/or filtration. The sol-to-gel systems were evaluated for rh
## Abstract Radiolabeled congeners of a series of azopolymers have been synthesized and characterized. The __in vivo__ (rat) gastrointestinal transit profile of millimeterβsized particles of these azopolymers has been determined and used to facilitate the selection of a candidate material for thera
