Preparation of chitosan microspheres by ionotropic gelation under a high voltage electrostatic field for protein delivery

Biodegradable microspheres have been widely used in drug/protein delivery system. In this paper, a modified ionotropic gelation method combined with a high voltage electrostatic field was developed to prepare protein-loaded chitosan microspheres. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was chosen as a model protein. The preparation process and major parameters were discussed and optimized. The morphology, particle size, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro release behavior of the prepared microspheres were investigated. The results revealed that the microspheres exhibited good sphericity and dispersity when the mixture of sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) and ethanol was applied as coagulation solution. Higher encapsulation efficiency (>90%) was achieved for the weight ratio of BSA to chitosan below 5%. 35% of BSA was released from the microspheres cured in 3% coagulation solution, and more than 50% of BSA was released from the microspheres cured in 1% coagulation solution at pH 8.8. However, only 15% of BSA was released from the microspheres cured in 1% coagulation solution at pH 4. The results suggested that ionotropic gelation method combined with a high voltage electrostatic field will be an effective method for fabricating chitosan microspheres for sustained delivery of protein.     

Effect of the Si/Ce molar ratio on the textural properties of rare earth element cerium incorporated mesoporous molecular sieves obtained room temperature

Rare earth Ce-incorporated MCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves (CeMCM-41) were synthesized via a direct and nonhydrothermal method at room temperature from sodium silicate and ammonium cerium (IV) nitrate as raw materials. Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was used as a template. The resultant samples were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis) and N₂ physical adsorption, respectively. The effect of the Si/Ce molar ratio on the crystalline structure and textural properties of CeMCM-41 was also investigated. The experimental results show that ordered CeMCM-41 mesoporous molecular sieves were successfully synthesized at room temperature and the resultant mesoporous materials have specific surface areas in the range of 594–1369 m²/g and average pore sizes in the range of ca. 2.5–2.8 nm. It has been found that the structural properties are strongly related to the amounts of cerium incorporation. When the cerium content increased in the samples, the intensity of the peak (1 0 0) was gradually reduced, and the surface area and structural regularity were diminished.

含有光敏剂的人体皮肤的激光诱导荧光光谱分析

利用血红蛋白在578nm处有吸收峰以及在光动力疗法治疗鲜红斑痣过程中病变区血液含量减少的特性,根据测得的含有光敏剂的皮肤层激光诱导荧光光谱,计算了皮肤层光敏剂的荧光强度随时间的变化关系。通过光谱处理计算了624nm处光敏剂血卟啉(HpD)的荧光峰值强度。分析和计算结果表明,皮肤层中的血液含量的减少导致新的荧光光谱峰(578nm处)的产生,新荧光峰的产生造成624nm处荧光强度的增大,因此必须排除这种影响才能得到皮肤层由光敏剂产生的荧光强度。由光谱处理结果得到治疗过程中病变区光敏剂荧光强度的变化曲线。
