ABSTRACT

Three-dimensional printing is a technology that prints the products layer-by-layer, in which materials are deposited according to the digital model designed by computer aided design (CAD) software. This technology has competitive advantages regarding product design complexity, product personalization, and on-demand manufacturing. The emergence of 3D technology provides innovative strategies and new ways to develop novel drug delivery systems. This review summarizes the application of 3D printing technologies in the pharmaceutical field, with an emphasis on the advantages of 3D printing technologies for achieving rapid drug delivery, personalized drug delivery, compound drug delivery and customized drug delivery. In addition, this article illustrates the limitations and challenges of 3D printing technologies in the field of pharmaceutical formulation development.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the imaging characteristics of large vestibular aqueduct syndrome (LVAS) patients and their relationship with the acoustically evoked short latency negative response (ANSR), so as to provide reference for the diagnosis of LVAS.@*Methods@#Clinical data of 174 patients(334 ears) with LVAS diagnosed and treated by the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, from October 2009 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, including 117 males and 57 females, aged from 5 months to 47 years old, with the median age of 4 years and 4 months. ABR and imaging data of patients were collected. Midpoint diameter and the outlet diameter of the vestibular aqueduct were measured on CT images, the midpoint diameter of the intraosseous parts and the extraosseous parts of enlarged endolymphatic sac(EES) were measured on MRI images. The correlation between the above measurements was analyzed by Pearson test using SPSS 17.0. According to whether ASNR was detected in ABR, the above data were divided into two groups, and the differences of the above imaging measurements were compared by the Independent-Sample Test.@*Results@#The average midpoint diameter of the vestibular aqueduct was (1.87±0.58) mm (±s, the following was the same), and the outlet diameter was (3.07±0.99) mm on CT; the average midpoint diameter of the intraosseous parts in enlarged endolymphatic sac(EES) was (2.39±1.37) mm, and the extraosseous parts was (2.50±2.18) mm on MRI. There was a correlation between the four measurements (P<0.05), among which the midpoint diameter of vestibular aqueduct was strongly positively correlated with the outlet diameter (r=0.760), and the remaining pairs were weakly correlated. ASNR was detected in 241 ears (72.16%,241/334) and undetected in 93 ears (27.84%, 93/334) of the 334 ears with LVAS. Midpoint diameter and the outlet diameter of the vestibular aqueduct in no ASNR group were smaller than the ASNR group, and the difference was statistically significant (t value was 2.814 and 2.754, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the midpoint diameter of the intraosseous parts and the extraosseous parts of enlarged endolymphatic sac between the two groups, and the difference was no statistically significant(t value was 0.101 and 0.683, P>0.05).@*Conclusions@#There is a strong positive correlation between the midpoint diameter of vestibular aqueduct and the outlet diameter in LVAS patients. There is a certain correlation between the size of vestibular aqueduct and the size of endolymphatic sac. The smaller the diameter of vestibular aqueduct, the lower the occurrence rate of ASNR.
