A super‐site‐selective micropattern of TiO2 on a flexible polymer substrate (see Figure) has been achieved by utilizing a barrier‐effect self‐assembly process. The TiO2 micropattern is useful as a UV filter for nanodevices in integrated electronic and optical circuits.

Heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy gives high peritoneal and tumour oxaliplatin concentrations with limited systemic absorption. We recommend an oxaliplatin dose of 460 mg/m2 in 2 l/m2 of 5% dextrose for intraperitoneal chemo-hyperthermia, at a temperature of 42-44 degrees C over 30 min. We may be able to improve these results by increasing the intraperitoneal perfusion duration or by modifying the instillate composition.

CPT-11-induced delayed-onset diarrhea is caused by a secretory mechanism with an exudative component. Early combined treatment with loperamide and acetorphan seems effective in controlling the diarrheal episodes.
