Methods Sustained-release silybin microspheres were prepared by the spherical crystallization technique with soliddispersing and release-retarding polymers. A differential scanning calorimeter and an X-ray diffractometer were used to investigate the dispersion state of silybin in the microspheres. The shape, surface morphology, and internal structure of the microspheres were observed using a scanning electron microscope. Characterization of the microspheres, such as average diameter, size distribution and bulk density of the microspheres was investigated. Results The particle size of the microspheres was determined mainly by the agitation speed. The dissolution rate of silybin from microspheres was enhanced by increasing the amount of the dispersing agents, and sustained by the retarding agents. The release rate of microspheres was controlled by adjusting the combination ratio of the dispersing agents to the retarding agents. The resuits of X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry analysis indicated that silybin was highly dispersed in the microspheres in amorphous state. The release profiles and content did not change after a three-month accelerated stability test at 40 ℃ and 75% relative humidity. Conclusion Sustained-release silybin microspheres with a solid dispersion structure were prepared successfully in one step by a spherical crystallization technique combined with solid dispersion technique. The preparation process is simple, reproducible and inexpensive. The method is efficient for designing sustained-release microspheres with water-insoluble drugs.展开更多

Release kinetics equations were used to fit the drug release behavior. The effects of particle size and release medium pH on the release rate were also investigated. The indoor toxicity of emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres on the diamondback moth larva （Plutella xylostella） was studied to explore drug sustained-release performance. In acidic and neutral media, the drug release behavior of the microspheres was in accord with the first-order kinetics equation. Increasing the spray dosage of emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres initially resulted in an equivalent insecticidal efficacy with the conventional emamectin benzoate microemulsion. However, the drug persistence period was four-fold longer than that observed using the conventional formulation. The developed emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres showed dramatic sustained-release performance. A treatment threshold of greater than 35 mg mL-1 was established for an efficient accumulated release concentration of emamectin benzoate-loaded microspheres.展开更多

However, their bioactivity is limited by their short half-life. Sustained release of glucocorticoids can prolong their efficacy and inhibit scar formation at the site of nerve injury. In the present study, we wrapped the anastomotic ends of the rat sciatic nerve with a methylprednisolone sustained-release membrane. Compared with methylprednisone alone or methylprednisone microspheres, the methylprednisolone microsphere sustained-release membrane reduced tissue adhesion and inhibited scar tissue formation at the site of anastomosis. It also increased sciatic nerve function index and the thickness of the myelin sheath. Our findings show that the methylprednisolone microsphere sustained-release membrane effectively inhibits scar formation at the site of anastomosis of the peripheral nerve, thereby promoting nerve regeneration.展开更多

A cross linked reagent alone or in combination with microcrystalline cellulose （ MCC ） was added in the process of preparation of microspheres to eliminate dose dumping and burst phenomenon of microspheres for the improvemeat of the therapeutic efficiency and the decrease of the side effects of captopril （ Cap ）. The results indicate that Cap/ CGNPMs have a spherical shape , smooth surface roorphology and integral inside structure and no adhesive phenomena and good roobility , and the size distribution is mairdy from 220 to 280 μm. Researches on the Cap release test in vitro demonstrate that Cap/ CGNPMs are of the role of retarding release of Cap compared with Cap ordinary tablets （COT）, embedding ratio （ER） , drug loading （ DL ）, and swelling ratio （ SR ）, and release behaviors of CGNPMS are influenced by process conditions of preparation such as experimental material ratio （EMR） , composition of cross linking reagents. Among these factors , the EMR（1/4）, CLR （ FOR ＋ TPP） and 0.75% microcrystulline cellulose （MCC） added to the microspheres are the optimal scheme to the preparation of Cap/CGNPMs. The Cap/CGNPMs have a good characteristic of sustained release of drug, and the process of emulsifieation and crossinking process is simple and stable. The CGNPMs is probable to be one of an ideal sustained release system for water-soluble drugs.展开更多

The results indicated that CTP/CGNPMs had a spherical shape,smooth surface and integral structure inside but no adhesive phenomena in the preparation. The size distribution ranged from 220 μm to 280 μm. The CTP release test in vitro demonstrated that CTP/CGNPMs played the role of retarding the release of CTP compared with ordinary CTP tablets. The release behaviors of CGNPMS were influenced by preparation conditions such as experimental material ratio(EMR) and composition of cross linking reagents. Among these factors,the EMR(1/4),CLR(FA+SPP) and 0.75% microcrystalline cellulose(MCC) added to the microspheres constituted the optimal scheme for the preparation of CTP/CGNPMs. The ER,DL and SR of CTP/CGNPMs prepared according to the optimal scheme were 46.23±4.51%,9.95±0.77% and 261±42%,respectively. The CTP/CGNPMs had the good characteristics of sustained release of drug and the process of emulsification and cross-linking were simple and stable. The CGNPMs are likely to be an ideal sustained release formulation for water-soluble drugs.展开更多

文摘Allelochemicals sustained-release microspheres(ACs-SMs)exhibited great inhibition effect on algae,however,few studies have focused on ACs-SMs toxicity on invertebrate.In this study,the effects of single high-concentration ACs(15 mg/L,SH-ACs),repeated lowconcentration ACs(3×5 mg/L,RL-ACs)and ACs-SMs containing 15 mg/L ACs exposure on the ingestion,incorporation,and digestion of Daphniamagna Straus(DS)were investigated by stable isotope 15N labeling method.Meanwhile,the diversity and abundance of microflora in DS guts were determined by 16S rRNA genes and cloning methods.The results showed that SH-ACs exposure caused 50%and 33.3%death rates for newborn and adult DS,while RL-ACs exposure caused 10%death rate for newborn DS and no obvious effect on the activity of adult DS.And ACs-SMs exposure did not diminish the motility of both newborn and adult DS,indicating the lower acute toxicity of ACs-SMs.Furthermore,SH-ACs inhibited the ingestion(-6.45%),incorporation(-47.1%)and digestion(-53.8%)abilities of DS and reduced the microbial abundance(-27.7%)in DS guts.Compared with SH-ACs,RL-ACs showed relatively low impact on the ingestion(-3.23%),incorporation(-5.89%)and digestion(-23.9%)abilities of DS.Interestingly,ACs-SMs enhanced the ingestion(+9.68%),incorporation(+52.9%)and digestion(+51.3%)abilities of DS and increased the microbial abundance(+10.7%)in DS guts.Overall ACs and ACs-SMs reduced the diversity of microflora in DS guts.In conclusion,ACs-SMs can release ACs sustainably and prolong the sustained release time,which not only effectively reduce the toxicity of ACs,but also had positive effects on DS.

文摘In the present study,we aimed to prepare sustained-release microspheres for injection of neurokinin-1(NK-1)receptor antagonist APT011,and to evaluate their physicochemical properties,in vitro sustained-release effect and preliminary stability.APT011-loaded sustained-release microspheres were prepared using W/O/W double emulsion-solvent evaporation technique.The L9(34)orthogonal experiment was used to optimize the APT011 sustained-release microsphere formulation.Microscope photographs showed that APT011-loaded microspheres were spherical,and the particle size was^90μm with uniform size distribution.XRD results indicated that APT011 existed in the microspheres in an amorphous form.DSC results showed that there was no significant interaction between APT011 and blank microspheres.APT011-loaded microspheres had a significant sustained-release effect,which maintained release for at least 2 months.Preliminary study results indicated that the loading content and release percentage at 0.5 h were not markedly altered below 40°C and under high lighting condition.APT011-loaded microspheres prepared in our study exhibited excellent physicochemical properties and sustained-release characteristics and preliminary stability,demonstrating real potential for the clinical practice.
文摘Aim To improve the dissolution rate and bioavailability of silybin. Methods Sustained-release silybin microspheres were prepared by the spherical crystallization technique with soliddispersing and release-retarding polymers. A differential scanning calorimeter and an X-ray diffractometer were used to investigate the dispersion state of silybin in the microspheres. The shape, surface morphology, and internal structure of the microspheres were observed using a scanning electron microscope. Characterization of the microspheres, such as average diameter, size distribution and bulk density of the microspheres was investigated. Results The particle size of the microspheres was determined mainly by the agitation speed. The dissolution rate of silybin from microspheres was enhanced by increasing the amount of the dispersing agents, and sustained by the retarding agents. The release rate of microspheres was controlled by adjusting the combination ratio of the dispersing agents to the retarding agents. The resuits of X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry analysis indicated that silybin was highly dispersed in the microspheres in amorphous state. The release profiles and content did not change after a three-month accelerated stability test at 40 ℃ and 75% relative humidity. Conclusion Sustained-release silybin microspheres with a solid dispersion structure were prepared successfully in one step by a spherical crystallization technique combined with solid dispersion technique. The preparation process is simple, reproducible and inexpensive. The method is efficient for designing sustained-release microspheres with water-insoluble drugs.

文摘To efficiently remove radioactive nuclides from nuclear industry wastewater and minimize the generation of radioactive secondary waste,this study proposes the concept of a magnetically controlled microchannel adsorber based on magnetic adsorbents.A novel protocol for achieving high adsorption performance in microchannel adsorbers with periodically distributed particles is developed using the particle-resolved computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method,which addresses the limitations of traditional porous media flow models.To align simulation results more closely with practical scenarios,a typical high-efficiency magnetic adsorbent,magnetic sodium alginate/cobalt-based Prussian blue (M-SA/PB-Co),was synthesized.The M-SA/PB-Co microspheres exhibit a uniform size distribution (300–600 μm),and their Cs^(+) adsorption follows the pseudo-second-order kinetic model with a Langmuir saturated adsorption capacity of 124.84 mg·g^(-1).The performance parameters of M-SA/PB-Co,obtained from characterization and adsorption experiments,were integrated into CFD simulations.CFD results indicate that as the flow velocity increases,the flow field gradually transitions with vortices expanding in scale and streamline bifurcation points shifting rearward.The Cs^(+) concentration decreases progressively along the flow direction,with a more pronounced reduction in the vortex regions downstream of particles.The characteristic velocity and characteristic concentration of specific regions surrounding the particles were extracted based on boundary layer distribution.The amount of concentration reduction of Cs^(+) through particle is positively correlated with the characteristic concentration and negatively correlated with the characteristic velocity.The number of microspheres required in the microchannel adsorber was optimized using the response surface method.Compared with industrial fixed-bed adsorbers,microchannel adsorbers exhibit 8–10 times higher processing capacity,demonstrating significant industrial application potential.

文摘Early knee osteoarthritis(KOA)is characterized by progressive degeneration of the articular cartilage,synovial inflammation,and excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species(ROS).At present,intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid(HA)is widely used to alleviate symptoms;however,its lubrication persistence,antioxidant,and anti-inflammatory abilities are limited,and it is difficult to effectively delay the early process of cartilage degeneration.Based on this,hyaluronic acid-g-lipoic acid(HA-LA)was synthesized by esterification reaction,and HA-LA microspheres were prepared by a reversed-phase emulsion method,which was combined with a macromolecular HA-LA solution to form injectable hydrogels.The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an injectable hydrogel based on hyaluronic acid-g-lipoic acid microspheres(HA-LA MS)for the treatment of KOA and to verify its injectability,lubricity,reactive oxygen species(ROS)scavenging ability,and anti-inflammatory effects.The results show that the HA-LA MS hydrogel has excellent shear thinning characteristics and continuous injectability,and its microsphere structure significantly reduces the interfacial friction coefficient through the rolling effect.In vitro experiments have shown that the hydrogel can efficiently scavenge ROS,reduce the expression of inflammatory factors,and is non-cytotoxic.The HA-LA MS injectable hydrogel has excellent lubricity,ROS scavenging ability,and anti-inflammatory effects in vivo,which can effectively delay the degeneration of early KOA cartilage,and its efficacy is significantly better than that of traditional hyaluronic acid,making it a promising intra-articular injection preparation.

文摘High-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） was employed to determine drug release rates based on emamectin benzoate concentrations in the medium. Release kinetics equations were used to fit the drug release behavior. The effects of particle size and release medium pH on the release rate were also investigated. The indoor toxicity of emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres on the diamondback moth larva （Plutella xylostella） was studied to explore drug sustained-release performance. In acidic and neutral media, the drug release behavior of the microspheres was in accord with the first-order kinetics equation. Increasing the spray dosage of emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres initially resulted in an equivalent insecticidal efficacy with the conventional emamectin benzoate microemulsion. However, the drug persistence period was four-fold longer than that observed using the conventional formulation. The developed emamectin benzoate-loaded polylactic acid microspheres showed dramatic sustained-release performance. A treatment threshold of greater than 35 mg mL-1 was established for an efficient accumulated release concentration of emamectin benzoate-loaded microspheres.

文摘Corticosteroids are widely used for the treatment of acute central nervous system injury. However, their bioactivity is limited by their short half-life. Sustained release of glucocorticoids can prolong their efficacy and inhibit scar formation at the site of nerve injury. In the present study, we wrapped the anastomotic ends of the rat sciatic nerve with a methylprednisolone sustained-release membrane. Compared with methylprednisone alone or methylprednisone microspheres, the methylprednisolone microsphere sustained-release membrane reduced tissue adhesion and inhibited scar tissue formation at the site of anastomosis. It also increased sciatic nerve function index and the thickness of the myelin sheath. Our findings show that the methylprednisolone microsphere sustained-release membrane effectively inhibits scar formation at the site of anastomosis of the peripheral nerve, thereby promoting nerve regeneration.

文摘In this study the w/o/w extraction–evaporation technique was adopted to prepare poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)microspheres loading recombinant human epidermal growth factor(rhEGF).The micro-spheres were characterized for morphology by transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and particle size distribution.The release performances,the proliferation effects and therapeutic effects of rhEGF-loaded PLGA microspheres were all studied.The results showed that these spherical micro-spheres had a narrow size distribution and a high drug encapsulation efficiency(85.6%).RhEGF-loaded microspheres enhanced the growth rate of fibroblasts and wound healing more efficiently than pure rhEGF.The number of the proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)in the epidermis layer with the mi-crosphere treatment was significantly larger than those of the control groups.Overall locally sustained delivery of rhEGF from biodegradable PLGA microspheres may serve as a novel therapeutic strategy for diabetic ulcer repair.

文摘The captopril/ Chitosan-gelatin net-polymer microspheres （ Gap/ CGNPMs ） were prepared using Chitosan （ CS ） and gelatin （ Gel ） by the methods of emulsification. A cross linked reagent alone or in combination with microcrystalline cellulose （ MCC ） was added in the process of preparation of microspheres to eliminate dose dumping and burst phenomenon of microspheres for the improvemeat of the therapeutic efficiency and the decrease of the side effects of captopril （ Cap ）. The results indicate that Cap/ CGNPMs have a spherical shape , smooth surface roorphology and integral inside structure and no adhesive phenomena and good roobility , and the size distribution is mairdy from 220 to 280 μm. Researches on the Cap release test in vitro demonstrate that Cap/ CGNPMs are of the role of retarding release of Cap compared with Cap ordinary tablets （COT）, embedding ratio （ER） , drug loading （ DL ）, and swelling ratio （ SR ）, and release behaviors of CGNPMS are influenced by process conditions of preparation such as experimental material ratio （EMR） , composition of cross linking reagents. Among these factors , the EMR（1/4）, CLR （ FOR ＋ TPP） and 0.75% microcrystulline cellulose （MCC） added to the microspheres are the optimal scheme to the preparation of Cap/CGNPMs. The Cap/CGNPMs have a good characteristic of sustained release of drug, and the process of emulsifieation and crossinking process is simple and stable. The CGNPMs is probable to be one of an ideal sustained release system for water-soluble drugs.
文摘The captopril/Chitosan-gelatin net-polymer microspheres(CTP/CGNPMs) were prepared using Chitosan(CTS) and gelatin(GT) by the methods of emulsification,cross-linked reagent alone or in combination and microcrystalline cellulose(MCC) added in the process of preparation of microspheres,which aimed to eliminate dose dumping and burst phenomenon of microspheres for the improvement of the therapeutic efficiency and the decrease of the side effects of captopril(CTP). The results indicated that CTP/CGNPMs had a spherical shape,smooth surface and integral structure inside but no adhesive phenomena in the preparation. The size distribution ranged from 220 μm to 280 μm. The CTP release test in vitro demonstrated that CTP/CGNPMs played the role of retarding the release of CTP compared with ordinary CTP tablets. The release behaviors of CGNPMS were influenced by preparation conditions such as experimental material ratio(EMR) and composition of cross linking reagents. Among these factors,the EMR(1/4),CLR(FA+SPP) and 0.75% microcrystalline cellulose(MCC) added to the microspheres constituted the optimal scheme for the preparation of CTP/CGNPMs. The ER,DL and SR of CTP/CGNPMs prepared according to the optimal scheme were 46.23±4.51%,9.95±0.77% and 261±42%,respectively. The CTP/CGNPMs had the good characteristics of sustained release of drug and the process of emulsification and cross-linking were simple and stable. The CGNPMs are likely to be an ideal sustained release formulation for water-soluble drugs.

文摘Herein,porous poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)(PLGA)microspheres were prepared to load icariin andmiR-23b for the treatment of metastatic lung cancer.The microspheres exhibited desirable aerodynamic diameter,high drug loading and encapsulation efficiency,as well as a favorable drug release profile,which was beneficial for the deposition and exposure of drugs in the lung tissues.The release solution from microspheres exhibited a favorable anti-proliferative effect by inducting cell apoptosis and arresting the cell cycle at G1 phase,and meanwhile inhibited the migration and invasion of cancer cells.More importantly,the microspheres could be effectively inhaled and accumulated in the lung tissues to trigger the in situ apoptosis of tumor cells and suppress metastasis,using mice bearing melanoma-metastatic lung cancer as a model.Furthermore,inhalation of themicrospheres showed favorable biocompatibility,barely causing tissue damage.Overall,porous PLGA microspheres provide a promising platform for the inhalable co-delivery of drugs and genes to obtain ideal therapeutic efficacy in lung cancer and other pulmonary diseases.
文摘Yttrium-90(Y-90)microsphere therapy,known as radioembolization,has emerged as a pivotal treatment modality for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),delivering targeted radiation with minimal collateral damage to healthy liver tissues.This review meticulously synthesizes current evidence regarding the clinical efficacy,underlying therapeutic mechanisms,patient selection criteria,and comparative advantages of Y-90 therapy.Clinical studies consistently demonstrate significant improvements in overall survival and progression-free survival,coupled with robust tumor response rates and manageable adverse events.The therapy’s efficacy is substantially enhanced by advanced dosimetric techniques,enabling precise radiation delivery tailored to individual tumor profiles.Comparative analyses reveal that Y-90 therapy provides superior local tumor control and a preferable safety profile compared to conventional treatments such as transarterial chemoembolization and external beam radiation therapy.Additionally,its clinical outcomes are comparable to those achieved with contemporary systemic therapies.Ongoing research into combination treatments incorporating Y-90 with systemic therapies,including targeted agents and immune checkpoint inhibitors,suggests promising advancements in comprehensive HCC management.Future directions highlight the necessity for continued refinement of dosimetry and patient stratification approaches,aiming to further optimize therapeutic outcomes.

文摘Sodium-ion batteries(SIBs)have emerged as a promising contender for next-gener-ation energy storage systems.Hard carbon is re-garded as the most promising anode for commer-cial SIB,however,the large number of defects on its surface cause irreversible electrolyte consump-tion and an uneven solid electrolyte interphase film.An advanced molecular engineering strategy to coat hard carbon with polycyclic aromatic mo-lecules is reported.Specifically,polystyrene-based carbon microspheres(CSs)were first synthesized and then coated with polycyclic aromatic mo-lecules derived from coal tar pitch by spray-drying and followed by oxidation.Compared to the traditional CVD coating meth-od,this molecular framework strategy has been shown to reduce the number of defects on the surface of CSs without sacrifi-cing internal storage sites and suppressing transport kinetics in hosting the sodium ions.Besides the lower surface defect con-centration,the synthesized hybrid carbon microspheres(HCSs)have a larger grain size and more abundant closed pores,and have a higher reversible sodium storage capacity.A HCS-P-60%electrode has a capacity of 332.3 mAh g^(-1)with an initial Cou-lombic efficiency of 88.5%.It also has a superior rate performance of 246.6 mAh g^(-1)at 2 C and a 95.2%capacity retention after 100 cycles at 0.2 C.This work offers new insights into designing high-performance hard carbon microsphere anodes,advan-cing the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries.

文摘The construction of monodisperse microporous organic microspheres is deemed a challenging issue,primarily due to the difficulty in achieving both high microporosity and uniformity within the microspheres.In this study,a series of fluorinated monodisperse microporous microspheres are fabricated by solvothermal precipitation polymerization.The resulting fluorous methacrylate-based microspheres achieved higher than 400 m^(2)/g surface area,along with a yield of over 90%for the microspheres.Through comprehensive characterization and simulation methods,we discovered that the introduction of fluorous methacrylate monomers at high loading levels is the key factor contributing to the formation of the microporosity within the microspheres.The controlled temperature profile was found to be advantageous for achieving a high yield of microspheres and increased uniformity.Two-dimensional assemblies of these fluorinated microsphere arrays exhibited superhydrophobicity,superolephilicity,and water sliding angles below 10°.Furthermore,a three-dimensional assembly of the fluorinated microporous microsphere in a chromatographic column demonstrated significant improvement in the separation of Engelhardt agent compared to commercial columns.Our work offers a novel approach to constructing fluorinated monodisperse microporous microspheres for advanced applications.
