市售注射用制剂通常要求在二至八摄氏度冷藏保存，并避免光照与冻结。部分多剂量笔在首次使用后允许在不超过三十摄氏度的环境中存放有限周数，具体期限由辅料与防腐剂体系决定。反复冻融会促进肽链聚集并改变可见颗粒计数，因此应予避免。冻干粉末在干燥、避光、低温条件下更为稳定。溶液配制后宜使用低吸附容器，以减少肽类在塑料或玻璃表面的损失。
纯度评价多采用反相高效液相色谱，流动相常加入三氟乙酸或甲酸作为离子对改性剂，检测波长设在二百一十四纳米或二百二十纳米。分子量确认依靠电喷雾电离质谱或基质辅助激光解吸电离质谱，实测值应与理论值在数 ppm 内吻合。肽图分析通过酶切后液相色谱串联质谱完成，用于核查序列与修饰位点。体积排阻色谱用于定量共价与非共价聚集体。生物基质浓度测定则采用免疫分析或液相色谱串联质谱。
肽类的主要降解路径包括天冬酰胺脱酰胺、甲硫氨酸氧化、天冬氨酸异构化以及由 β-折叠驱动的聚集，这些反应对 pH 与缓冲液种类较为敏感。磷酸盐、丙二醇与苯酚等辅料会影响局部微环境与界面行为。强制降解研究借助高温、强光、氧化剂与极端 pH 暴露来预测产物谱。关于长期室温存放的数据相对有限，超出标签条件的稳定性仍属开放问题，需要在具体制剂中通过实时与加速试验加以确认。
Receptor activation occurs at GLP-1 receptors distributed across pancreatic islets, the hypothalamus, and the gastrointestinal tract. Binding triggers G protein signaling that raises cyclic AMP and enhances glucose-dependent insulin release. Because the effect depends on prevailing glucose levels, insulin secretion does not rise when blood sugar is already low. Signaling in the brain and gut also influences appetite and gastric emptying, which is why the compound appears in both metabolic and weight-related research literature.
Development began in the early 2010s with the goal of extending GLP-1 activity beyond the brief window achieved by native peptide infusion. The earliest approved formulation was a subcutaneous injection given once weekly. A later oral tablet pairs the peptide with an absorption enhancer, sodium N-(8-[2-hydroxybenzoyl] amino) caprylate, usually shortened to SNAC. That carrier lowers local pH and helps the peptide cross gastric tissue. Both routes deliver the same active molecule.

Handling guidance for research quantities calls for single-use aliquots, an inert atmosphere where practical, and avoidance of repeated freeze-thaw cycles that accelerate aggregation. Certificates of analysis typically report purity by peak area, water content, counter-ion identity, and residual solvent levels. In the scientific literature the compound is usually described by its full amino acid sequence, its registry number, or its structural class rather than by any proprietary label. Reporting standards vary between journals, and reviewers increasingly request raw chromatograms alongside tabulated purity figures. Whether current purity thresholds are adequate for every experimental context is debated.
Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection is the dominant approach for peptide purity assessment, usually paired with mass spectrometry to confirm molecular mass and sequence. Peptide mapping by enzymatic digestion and tandem mass spectrometry locates modifications such as deamidation and oxidation. Quantitation in plasma matrices can be performed by LC-MS/MS after solid-phase extraction. Method validation follows general guidance on accuracy, precision, linearity, and limits of detection. Comparability of results between laboratories, when no shared reference standard is available, remains an open question.
Stability studies focus on deamidation of asparagine and glutamine residues, oxidation of methionine, and aggregation into higher-order species. The fatty acid side chain adds susceptibility to oxidative change and can promote self-association at high concentration. Lyophilised material is comparatively robust when kept cold and dry, while aqueous solutions require refrigeration and protection from light. Forced degradation experiments under heat, acid, base, and peroxide conditions establish the specificity of each analytical method. Which degradation route dominates under real storage conditions depends on the formulation and stays formulation-specific.
Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection near 214 nm is the standard purity method, reported as area percent. Mass spectrometry, usually with electrospray ionisation, confirms identity and reveals covalent modifications. Size-exclusion chromatography quantifies aggregates and fragments. Peptide mapping after enzymatic digestion localises changes to specific sequence regions. Circular dichroism and infrared spectroscopy report on secondary structure, while light scattering tracks particle formation in liquid formulations. No single technique captures every quality attribute.
Quality control relies on pharmacopoeial monographs where they exist, combined with in-house specifications for identity, purity, water content, and counter-ion composition. Reference standards allow calibration across laboratories, although certified materials for every analogue are not universally obtainable. Batch records, chromatograms, and mass spectra form the documentation trail. Regulatory classification varies by jurisdiction and intended use, and research-grade material differs from pharmaceutical-grade material in testing scope. Analytical uncertainty is often expressed as relative standard deviation across replicate injections.
GLP-1 receptors are expressed on pancreatic beta cells, in the gut, and in several brain regions. Receptor activation raises cyclic AMP, enhances glucose-dependent insulin secretion, and suppresses glucagon release when blood glucose is high. Effects on gastric emptying and on hypothalamic appetite circuits reduce energy intake. Because insulin release remains glucose-dependent, the risk of hypoglycemia is low when the drug is used alone. The precise contribution of each pathway to body weight change in humans remains an area of active investigation.
Clinical studies of semaglutide generally measure glycated hemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose, body weight, and composite cardiovascular endpoints. The SUSTAIN program enrolled adults with type 2 diabetes, while the STEP program focused on obesity without diabetes. Administration follows a stepwise escalation schedule designed to limit gastrointestinal effects during the first weeks. Reported outcomes include mean percentage weight change, the proportion of participants reaching defined weight-loss thresholds, and rates of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Long-term data on durability after treatment stops are still limited and remain a topic of ongoing research.
Semaglutide is a synthetic peptide analog of human glucagon-like peptide-1, developed by Novo Nordisk and first approved in 2017 for type 2 diabetes. It belongs to the incretin mimetic class, a group of agents that reproduce the glucose-dependent actions of endogenous GLP-1. The molecule was engineered to resist degradation by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 and to bind serum albumin, extending its half-life from minutes to roughly one week. Approval for chronic weight management followed in 2021, based on large cardiovascular and obesity outcome trials.
=== Allotropes === At ambient conditions, berkelium assumes its most stable α form which has a hexagonal symmetry, space group P63/mmc, lattice parameters of 341 pm and 1107 pm. The crystal has a double-hexagonal close packing structure with the layer sequence ABAC and so is isotypic (having a similar structure) with α-lanthanum and α-forms of actinides beyond curium. This crystal structure changes with pressure and temperature. When compressed at room temperature to 7 GPa, α-berkelium transforms to the β modification, which has a face-centered cubic (fcc) symmetry and space group Fm3m. This transition occurs without change in volume, but the enthalpy increases by 3.66 kJ/mol. Upon further compression to 25 GPa, berkelium transforms to an orthorhombic γ-berkelium structure similar to that of α-uranium. This transition is accompanied by a 12% volume decrease and delocalization of the electrons at the 5f electron shell. No further phase transitions are observed up to 57 GPa. Upon heating, α-berkelium transforms into another phase with an fcc lattice (but slightly different from β-berkelium), space group Fm3m and the lattice constant of 500 pm; this fcc structure is equivalent to the closest packing with the sequence ABC. This phase is metastable and will gradually revert to the original α-berkelium phase at room temperature. The temperature of the phase transition is believed to be quite close to the melting point.
== History == Secukinumab was discovered and developed by Novartis using developmental name AIN457, and the first publication was a Phase I trial published in 2010. In January 2015, secukinumab was approved in the United States and in the European Union to treat adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. It is the first IL17A inhibiting drug ever approved. In January 2016, the FDA approved it to treat adults with ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriatic arthritis and in February 2018, a label update was approved to include the treatment for moderate-to-severe scalp psoriasis.
=== Chinese Civil War: relations with Nationalists and Communists === Liu Wenhui's relationship with the Nationalist government continued to be one of grudging acceptance due to the fact that Xikang was too far from the central government in Nanjing to reliably influence or coerce. It is also believed by historian Kim Hee-shin that Chiang tolerated Liu's presence in Xikang to prevent the Sichuan warlord Liu Xiang from becoming too powerful. In 1936 Liu Wenhui's ties with Chiang soured even further due to his independent policy, but Chiang was not powerful enough to do anything meaningful against him at the time. Liu's relationship had a cooperative relationship with Sichuan governor Zhang Qun, the leader of the KMT's Political Science Clique. Both men being Sichuan natives, Liu was able to appeal to these provincial ties to enlist Zhang's support in negotiations with Chiang. Zhang, for his part, supported Liu as a counterweight to other Sichuanese warlords. In 1939, fighting broke out in Garzê between the officers of the deceased Panchen Lama and Liu Wenhui's army. Liu spread rumors about northern Kham potentially being granted to the Panchen Lama's office by the Kuomintang, and drove out the Lama's men. Although the Panchen Lama's forces were normally KMT-aligned, the central government remained on good terms with Liu Wenhui, who by now had taken advantage of the war against Japan to acquire more funding for Xikang. In January 1947, an anti-Liu uprising led by Zhu Shizheng (朱世正) captured the towns of Lushan and Tianqian and attempted to take Ya'an.
== Clinical significance == Spontaneous and excessive bleeding can occur because of platelet disorders. This bleeding can be caused by deficient numbers of platelets, dysfunctional platelets, or platelet densities over 1 million/microliter. (The excessive numbers create a relative von Willebrand factor deficiency due to sequestration.) Bleeding due to a platelet disorder or a coagulation factor disorder can be distinguished by the characteristics and location of the bleeding. Platelet bleeding involves bleeding from a cut that is prompt and excessive, but can be controlled by pressure; spontaneous bleeding into the skin which causes a purplish stain named by its size: petechiae, purpura, ecchymoses; bleeding into mucous membranes causing bleeding gums, nose bleed, and gastrointestinal bleeding; menorrhagia; and intraretinal and intracranial bleeding. Excessive numbers of platelets, and/or normal platelets responding to abnormal vessel walls, can result in venous thrombosis and arterial thrombosis. The symptoms depend on the thrombosis site.

Trump's cabinet choices were described by news media as valuing personal loyalty over relevant experience, and for having a range of conflicting ideologies and "eclectic personalities". It was also described as the wealthiest administration in modern history, with over 13 billionaires chosen to take government posts. He nominated or appointed 23 former Fox News employees to his administration. Notably, Trump's nomination of Scott Bessent as Secretary of the Treasury made Bessent the highest ranking openly LGBTQ person to serve in the United States government. In March 2026, The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump was planning to fire Kristi Noem after a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing during which she was criticised for her actions during her term of office, including her handling of the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, inappropriate relations with her advisor, Corey Lewandowski, and mismanagement of funds. On March 5, Trump announced her reassignment to a new position, "Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas", and announced Oklahoma senator, Markwayne Mullin as her successor as the secretary of homeland security. Noem is the first Cabinet official to be removed from her post during Trump's second presidency.
==== Burroughs Wellcome ==== Burroughs Wellcome & Company was founded in 1880, in London by the American pharmacists Henry Wellcome and Silas Burroughs. The Wellcome Tropical Research Laboratories opened in 1902. In the 1920s, Burroughs Wellcome established research and manufacturing facilities in Tuckahoe, New York, which served as the US headquarters until the company moved to Research Triangle Park in North Carolina in 1971. The Nobel Prize winning scientists Gertrude B. Elion and George H. Hitchings worked there and invented drugs still used many years later, such as mercaptopurine. In 1959, the Wellcome Foundation bought Cooper, McDougall & Robertson Inc to become more active in animal health. When Burroughs Wellcome decided to move its headquarters, the company selected Paul Rudolph to design its new building. The Elion-Hitchings Building "was celebrated worldwide when it was built," according to Paul Rudolph Heritage Foundation president Kelvin Dickinson. Alex Sayf Cummings of Georgia State University wrote in 2016, that the "iconic building helped define the image of RTP," saying, "Love it or hate it, Rudolph's design remains an impressively audacious creative gesture and an important part of the history of both architecture and Research Triangle Park." United Therapeutics, which bought the building in 2012, announced plans in 2020, to tear it down.
=== Pharmaceutical applications === One major area where automated synthesis has been applied is structure determination in pharmaceutical research. Processes such as NMR and HPLC-MS can now have sample preparation done by robotic arm. Additionally, structural protein analysis can be done automatically using a combination of NMR and X-ray crystallography. Crystallization often takes hundreds to thousands of experiments to create a protein crystal suitable for X-ray crystallography. An automated micropipette machine can allow nearly a million different crystals to be created at once, and analyzed via X-ray crystallography.
==== UK ==== Loperamide can be sold freely to the public and is available in most supermarkets, convenience stores and chemists for the treatment of diarrhea and acute diarrhea associated with medically diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome to adults 18 years of age and older.
=== United States === Zostavax was developed by Merck & Co. and approved and licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May 2006, In 2011, the FDA approved the live vaccine for use in individuals 50 to 59 years of age. Shingrix is a zoster vaccine developed by GlaxoSmithKline that was approved in the United States in October 2017. Shingrix, which provides strong protection against shingles and PHN, was preferred over Zostavax before Zostavax was discontinued. In June 2020, Merck discontinued the sale of Zostavax in the US. Vaccine doses already held by practitioners could still be administered up to the expiration date (none expired later than November 2020). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that healthy adults 50 years and older get two doses of Shingrix, at least two months apart. Initial clinical trials only tested a gap of less than six months between doses, but unexpected popularity and resulting shortages caused further testing to validate wider spacing of the two doses. Adults 19 years and older who are immunocompromised because of disease or therapy are also recommended to receive two doses of Shingrix. The zoster vaccine is covered by Medicare Part D. In 2019, more than 90% of Medicare Part D vaccine spending was for the zoster vaccine. 5.8 million vaccine doses were administered to Part D beneficiaries that year at a cost of $857 million.

There have been increasing public calls for global collective action to address the threat, including a proposal for an international treaty on antimicrobial resistance. Further detail and attention is still needed to recognize and measure trends in resistance on the international level; the idea of a global tracking system has been suggested but implementation has yet to occur. A system of this nature would provide insight to areas of high resistance as well as information necessary for evaluating programs, introducing interventions and other changes made to fight or reverse antibiotic resistance.
=== Role in wound healing === The role of endothelial progenitor cells in wound healing remains unclear. Blood vessels have been seen entering ischemic tissue in a process driven by mechanically forced ingress of existing capillaries into the avascular region, and importantly, instead of through sprouting angiogenesis. These observations contradict sprouting angiogenesis driven by EPCs. Taken together with the inability to find bone-marrow derived endothelium in new vasculature, there is now little material support for postnatal vasculogenesis. Instead, angiogenesis is likely driven by a process of physical force.
Further shell closures beyond the main island of stability in the vicinity of Z = 112–114 may give rise to additional islands of stability. Although predictions for the location of the next magic numbers vary considerably, two significant islands are thought to exist around heavier doubly magic nuclei; the first near 354126 (with 228 neutrons) and the second near 472164 or 482164 (with 308 or 318 neutrons). Nuclides within these two islands of stability might be especially resistant to spontaneous fission and have alpha decay half-lives measurable in years, thus having comparable stability to elements in the vicinity of flerovium. Other regions of relative stability may also appear with weaker proton shell closures in beta-stable nuclides; such possibilities include regions near 342126 and 462154. Substantially greater electromagnetic repulsion between protons in such heavy nuclei may greatly reduce their stability, and possibly restrict their existence to localized islands in the vicinity of shell effects. This may have the consequence of isolating these islands from the main chart of nuclides, as intermediate nuclides and perhaps elements in a "sea of instability" would rapidly undergo fission and essentially be nonexistent. It is also possible that beyond a region of relative stability around element 126, heavier nuclei would lie beyond a fission threshold given by the liquid drop model and thus undergo fission with very short lifetimes, rendering them essentially nonexistent even in the vicinity of greater magic numbers.
=== Film === In the 1999 film, Notting Hill, Keziah, played by Emma Bernard is a vegetarian. In one scene, Keziah tells William "Will" Thacker (played by Hugh Grant), that she is a fruitarian. In the 2000 film, But I'm A Cheerleader, before Megan, one of the film's protagonists, is sent to a conversion therapy camp, her parents and others claim she is a lesbian because she is a vegetarian. Legally Blonde, a 2001 film, also featured a vegetarian—Elle Woods. When she introduces herself at Harvard Law School, she describes herself and her dog as "Gemini vegetarians". In the 2012 film, Life of Pi, Pi, played by Suraj Sharma, is a vegetarian based on his 3 religions: Hindu, Christian, and Muslim. And in the ship scene, one Taiwanese Sailor, played by Bo-Chieh Wang, is a vegetarian from his Buddhism religion to eat rice and the vegetarian gravy. In the 2018 Hollywood blockbuster, Black Panther, M'Baku (voiced by Winston Duke), the Jabari tribe leader who lives in the mountains of Wakanda, declares to a White CIA agent named Everett Ross (voiced by Martin Freeman), "if you say one more word, I'll feed you to my children!" After Everett is shaken by these words, he jokes, saying he is kidding because all those in his tribe, including himself, are vegetarians. Some praised this scene for challenging a stereotype of Black culture and the perception of what vegetarians look like. Duke later said that some Black outlets cooked vegan meals for him, and said that the scene is "kind of teaching kids that eating vegetables is cool," which is something he is for.
a similar tropane alkaloid content), include the Hyoscyameae, containing such well-known toxic species as Hyoscyamus niger and Atropa belladonna, the Solandreae containing the genus Solandra ("chalice vines") and the Mandragoreae, named for the famous Mandragora officinarum, most of which are considered traditional witches' herbs and poisons.

冻融过程中冰晶形成与局部浓度升高会促使肽链发生界面吸附和聚集。聚集不仅降低有效含量，还会改变可见异物与不溶性微粒的计数结果。将溶液分装为单次使用的小体积等份可减少循环次数。
该方法依据疏水性差异分离主峰与相关杂质，对缺失序列、氧化产物和脱酰胺变体具有较好分辨能力。流动相中加入离子对试剂可改善峰形。紫外检测在肽键吸收区工作，灵敏度足以支持常规放行检验。
加速条件可以放大多数化学降解，但聚集与界面诱导的变化对容器、摇动和温度历史更敏感。某些固态转变在短时高温下不一定出现。因此实时稳定性数据仍不可替代，加速结果一般只作为趋势参考。
Native GLP-1 is degraded within minutes by circulating enzymes. The synthetic version carries substitutions at positions that block enzymatic cleavage, plus a fatty acid side chain that promotes albumin binding. These two changes together extend circulation time from minutes to roughly a week.
