Thyroid storm in a patient with trauma |
Formulate various porous microsphere batches with different particle mean sizes and encapsulation ratios. |
Those microspheres would be employed to investigate the effect of the spheres' characteristics on their drug release. |
Subjects and methods: Porous ethylcellulose-based microspheres containing metronidazole were studied. |
The microspheres were prepared by emulsification - solvent evaporation method. |
The spheres' mean size and encapsulation ratios and their effects on drug release rates and kinetics would be focused on. |
Results: The resultant microspheres' size and drug loading ratio could be controlled through polymer concentration, drug concentration in the oil phase, emulsion stabilizer concentration or process parameters such as homogenization speed and time. |
Microspheres with a larger size or higher loading ratio presented faster drug release. |
Drugs are released from microspheres by a diffusion mechanism combined with polymer chain erosion. |
Conclusion: The size and drug encapsulation ratio of ethyl cellulose-based porous microspheres could be controlled through parameter modulation and could help control the drug release profile of the microspheres. |
Antibiotic resistance characteristics of pathogens causing nosocomial infections and mortality risk factors in the intensive care unit at Bach Mai hospital |
Thyroid storm, a life - threatening illness, requires physicians to approach, diagnose and treat appropriately. |
It is recognized to rise as a consequence of several factors, including infection, surgery, acute illness, and rarely, trauma. |
