    Abstract: Clarifying the relationship between the molecular structure of ion-exchange resins and the elution of carbohydrates is essential for analyses using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). From the perspective of novel resin development, we evaluated the effect of the number of methylene groups in the functional chain of the porous polymer sh... Show More

    Abstract: Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) is highly induced during coronavirus (COVID-19) infection. We believe selective COX-2 inhibition shall be a valuable tool to reduce virus toxicity in related patients. Dexamethasone, one of potent selective COX-2 inhibitors, has been used successfully in the standard care for patients with COVID-19. Given that low-dose dexa... Show More
