When gene therapy is performed for the treatment of malignant tumors, gene transfer efficiency and selectivity are highly important. Polymer vehicle microspheres are a novel type of therapy, which have been developed rapidly in recent years and are able to control drug release, prolong the biological half-life of drugs, decrease side effects and achieve targeted delivery. The present study was ...

The purpose of this research was to formulate and systemically evaluate in-vitro and in-vivo performances of mucoadhesive propranolol hydrochloride microspheres for its potential use in the treatment of hypertension, myocardial infraction and cardiac arrhythmias. Propranolol hydrochloride mucoadhesive microspheres, containing carbopol-934P as mucoadhesive polymer and ethyl cellulose as carrier ...

in this study, microspheres containing estradiol valerate were prepared by solvent evaporation method using poly (glycolide-co-lactide) (plga 50:50) and poly (lactide). the effect of different process variables such as polymer type, drugpolymer ratio, stirring rate, volume of internal phase and temperature of external phase on the morphology, particle size distribution, encapsulation efficiency...

the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of various treatments with filter-aids on pomegranate juice quality. the pomegranate used in this study was malas variety. different treatments in cold clarification method attempted were pectolitic enzyme, pectolitic enzyme-gelatin-bentonit, pectolitic enzyme-gelatin-silica sol, pectolitic enzyme-gelatin-bentonit-silica sol, gelatin-benton...

Functionalized polymeric microspheres based on a modifed polyether ether keetone (PEEK-WC) using immersion precipitation techniques were successfully prepared by doping initial polymeric solutions with DEHPA. The viscosity of the doping solution was measured for determining the optimal value for obtaining reproducible capsules. The modifed microspheres were characterize...

the purpose of this study was to prepare and characterize microspheres loaded by cyclosporine a(cya)-cyclodextrin (cd) complex. to achieve this goal, plga microspheres loaded by cya cd complex were prepared by multiple emulsificationsolvent evaporation methods.morphology, size, encapsulation efficiency and drug release from these microspheres were evaluated. microscopic evaluation of microspher...

background: radioactive yttrium glass microspheres are used for liver cancer treatment. these yttrium aluminum silicate microspheres are synthesized from yttrium, aluminum and silicone oxides by melting. there are two known processes used to transform irregular shaped glass particles into microspheres, these ‘spheroidization by flame’ and ‘spheroidization by gravitational fall in a tubular furn...
