Protein aerosol for intranasal nose to brain (N2B) delivery
Background For the treatment of metabolic and neurodegenerative diseases, drug delivery to the central nervous system (CNS) has gained considerable recent interest [1,2]. But many concepts for the delivery of therapeutic agents have failed by the natural blood-brain barrier (BBB). The N2B route for drugs is able to provide an adequate alternative of CNS drug delivery -bypassing the BBB [3,4]. N...
متن کاملAerosol delivery of synthetic lung surfactant
Background. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) is a widely accepted technique of non-invasive respiratory support in premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome due to lack of lung surfactant. If this approach fails, the next step is often intubation, mechanical ventilation (MV) and intratracheal instillation of clinical lung surfactant. Objective. To investigate whether...
متن کاملConvective flow dominates aerosol delivery to the lung segments.
Most previous computational studies on aerosol transport in models of the central airways of the human lung have focused on deposition, rather than transport of particles through these airways to the subtended lung regions. Using a model of the bronchial tree extending from the trachea to the segmental bronchi (J Appl Physiol 98: 970-980, 2005), we predicted aerosol delivery to the lung segment...
متن کاملEfficacy and Variability of Aerosol Delivery from Portable DC-Powered
Method We compared the MiniElite and MicroElite (Philips/Respironics, Murrysville, PA), Traveler (DeVilbiss, Somerset, PA) and Trek S (Pari Respiratory Equipment, Midlothian, VA) using 200 uL of radiolabelled Tc as sodium pertechnetate in normal saline, added to either a 3 mL ampule of 2.5 mg albuterol and .25 mg in 2.0 mL of budesonide in separate tests. Particle size was measured by cascade i...
متن کاملOptimizing aerosol gene delivery and expression in the ovine lung.
We have developed the sheep as a large animal model for optimizing cystic fibrosis gene therapy protocols. We administered aerosolized gene transfer agents (GTAs) to the ovine lung in order to test the delivery, efficacy, and safety of GTAs using a clinically relevant nebulizer. A preliminary study demonstrated GTA distribution and reporter gene expression throughout the lung after aerosol admi...
