ArchiveCircRNAs are a large class of endogenous single-stranded RNAs that are different from other linear RNAs, which are produced by back-splicing and fusion of either exons, introns, or both exon-intron into covalently closed loops. They are widely expressed in highly differentiated eukaryotes, and are closely related to various development and metabolic disease processes of organisms. They are characterized by stable structure, resistant to RNA degradation, conservation, and tissue-specific expression, making them ideal biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. Traditional methods such as Northern blotting, qRT-PCR and microarray analysis provide useful information, however, they are subject to their own shortcomings. Traditional methods are restricted in large-scale promotion in clinical trials. In recent years, in order to solve these problems, some new detection methods have emerged. In this article, we reviewed the relevant progress of all current circRNA detection methods, expounded their advantages and limitations, and discussed the challenges and future development directions.

When the concentration of Benzalkonium bromide was 0.05-0.1 mg·mL-1, its bacteriostatic efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger met the grade A criteria.
The minimum effective bacteriostatic concentration of benzalkonium bromide in the prescription of human interferon α1b spray is determined to be 0.05 mg·mL-1.
To compare the differences in identification tests of vacant gelatin capsules and enterosoluble vacant gelatin capsules in the four national pharmacopoeias, optimize the identification test methods and improve the specificity of identification results.
The biuret method was used to identify vacant gelatin capsules and enterosoluble vacant gelatin capsules, and an appropriate amount of adsorbed activated carbon was added to eliminate the masking effect of pigments in capsules.
The identification method was optimized, the pigment in the capsule solution was adsorbed by activated carbon, and the capsule solution showed a clarified colorless solution, which could produce a distinct violet after the color development by biuret reaction.
This method can significantly improve the specificity of vacant gelatin capsules and enterosoluble vacant gelatin capsules identification compared with domestic and foreign pharmacopoeia methods. It can provide scientific and reasonable revision suggestions for the optimization and improvement of the identification test of vacant gelatin capsules and enterosoluble vacant gelatin capsules in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
