    Abstract: Nanoparticles as described herein are configured to bind to bacterial contaminants, such as Gram positive bacteria, Gram negative bacteria, and endotoxins. The nanoparticles include a core comprising a magnetic material; and a plurality of ligands attached to the core. The ligands include, for example, bis(dipicolylamine) (“DPA”) coordinated with a metal ion, e.g., Zn2+ or Cu2+, to form, e.g., bis-Zn-DPA or bis-Cu-DPA, which can bind to the bacterial contaminants. The nanoparticles can be included in compositions for use in methods and systems to separate bacterial contaminants from liquids, such as liquids, such as blood, e.g., whole or diluted blood, buffer solutions, albumin solutions, beverages for human and/or animal consumption, e.g., drinking water, liquid medications for humans and/or animals, or other liquids.

    Abstract: Chemical permeation enhancers (CPEs) improve access of local anesthetics to the nerve, thereby improving their performance. Surfactants, representing three CPE sub-groups: anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants, were co-injected with tetrodotoxin (TTX) or bupivacaine at the sciatic nerve of Sprague-Dawley rats. All enhancers produced marked concentration-dependent improvements in the frequency and duration of block with TTX but not bupivacaine. An in vitro toxicity assay showed a wide range of CPE myotoxicity, but in vivo histological assessment showed no signs of muscle or nerve damage at concentrations of CPEs that produced a half-maximal increase in the duration of block of TTX. There was no systematic relationship between the enhancers' charge or hydrophobicity and their enhancement of block duration or potency. Thus, CPEs can provide marked prolongation of nerve blockade from TTX, without apparent local tissue toxicity, and therefore enhance the clinical applicability of TTX for prolonged-duration local anesthesia.

    Abstract: Combinations of charged local anesthetics with chemical permeation enhancers have been developed to give long duration block which is selective for sensory block is greatly prolonged by combining the local anesthetic with a permeation enhancer. The selectivity of sensory over motor block is provided by selecting the concentration of the local anesthetic and the permeation enhancer to provide selective permeability of the sensory and motor neurons to the enhancer.
