ABSTRACT
Objective: To prepare daptomycin liposomes and investigate the in vitro drug release.Methods: Daptomycin liposomes were prepared by an active loading method.The distribution of particle size and zeta potential of liposomes were determined by a laser particle size analyzer.The encapsulation efficiency and in vitro drug release were determined by HPLC.Results: The particle size of daptomycin liposomes was 109.5 nm, the heterogeneous dispersion coefficient was 0.042 and the zeta potential was-6.48 mV.The entrapment efficiency determined by gel column and centrifugation was 50.8% and 50.3%, respectively.The result of in vitro drug release showed that daptomycin liposomes had a good sustained-release effect when compared with daptomycin for injection.Conclusion: Daptomycin liposomes have uniform particle size, which can release drug slowly to reduce administration frequency.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the medication safety in elderly patients with chronic diseases. METHODS:Elderly inpatients with chronic diseases and nursing staff in affiliated hospital of shaoyang medical college,from Mar. 2014 to May 2015 were randomly selected for a questionnaire survey to analyze the influential factors of drug safety and health education de-mand,and the difficulty sources of nursing staff in developing health education was explored. RESULTS:Totally 500 questionnaire was sent out to elderly patients with chronic diseases,500 were effectively received with effective recovery of 100%;and totally 200 were sent out to nursing staff,200 were effectively received with effective recovery of 100%. In the 500 surveyed patients, 193 had ADR,which was affected by age,educational background,monthly income,disease course,whether received health edu-cation,etc.(P<0.05),patients with older age,lower educational background and monthly income,longer disease course and no receiving health education showed higher incidence of ADR;the influential factors for health education demands included education-al background,occupational status,disease course,quality evaluation of nursing staff,etc.(P<0.05),patients with higher educa-tional background,lower disease course,higher occupational status and quality evaluation of nursing staff showed stronger health education demands. The difficulty sources of surveyed nursing staff in developing health education were busy work,being afraid of misunderstanding,embarrassing,cognitive and skill deficits. CONCLUSIONS:The drug safety of elderly patients with chronic dis-eases is related to many influential factors,as well as the health education demands. Nursing staff should continuously improve their ability and quality,combined with the above influential factors,carry out health education with physicians and pharmacists to ensure the medication safety.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To prepare docetaxel liposomes mediated by folic acid receptor using different preparation processes, estab-lish the quality control and determine the stability. Methods:HSPC, FA-PEG2000-DSPE and docetaxel were dissolved in the solvent with the ratio of 100︰5︰8. Docetaxel liposomes were prepared by three different methods. The mean diameter of liposomes was deter-mined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Low-speed centrifugation was employed to determine the encapsulation efficiency (EE). The residual organic solvents were determined by gas chromatograph. Results:The mean diameter of docetaxel liposomes was (155 ± 10) nm with PdI below 0. 20. The EE was over 95. 0%. The inspection indices of docetaxel liposomes were not changed significantly after six-month storage under the temperature of (25 ± 2)℃. Conclusion:The third production process with high ratio of drug to lipid is feasible, controllable and stable in quality.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To prepare bererine hydrochloride ( BER) liposomes and establish an effective method for the determination of content and entrapment efficiency. Methods:BER liposomes were prepared by ammonium sulfate gradient method. The encapsula-tion efficiency of BER liposomes was respectively determined by supercentrifugation method, microcolumn gel method and ultrafiltration method, and the content of every component in BER liposomes was detected by HPLC-ELSD. Results:The results showed that super-centrifugation method could precisely separate the free drug from the liposomes. The optimum parameters of supercentrifugation method were the centrifugal speed of 60 000 r·min-1 , the centrifugal time of 1 h, the centrifugal temperature of 10℃ and the lipid concentra-tion of 6 mg·ml-1 . Conclusion:The method is simple and sensitive with good separation efficiency. HPLC-ELSD can be used to de-termine the content of every component in BER liposomes.
