The influence of experimental temperature on the permeability of model diffusants across porcine buccal mucosa was investigated
in vitro. The permeability increased significantly as the experimental temperature was increased in increments of approximately 7°C.
It was observed that the apparent permeability and temperature were related by an exponential relationship that conformed
to the Arrhenius equation. Diffusants with higher lipophilicities—buspirone and bupivacaine—had lower activation energies
for diffusion when compared to hydrophilic diffusants—antipyrine and caffeine. The activation energy for diffusion of the
model diffusants decreased linearly with increasing distribution coefficients across porcine buccal mucosa. The results suggested
that the buccal mucosa acts as a stronger barrier to the diffusion of hydrophilic diffusants than the lipophilic ones. The
log-linear relationship between permeability and temperature indicates that temperature should be carefully controlled in
diffusion experiments. These results also point to the possibility of developing heat-generating buccal delivery devices,
especially for hydrophobic diffusants. 相似文献

Buccal patches for the delivery of atenolol using sodium alginate with various hydrophilic polymers like carbopol 934 P, sodium
carboxymethyl cellulose, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in various proportions and combinations were fabricated by solvent
casting technique. Various physicomechanical parameters like weight variation, thickness, folding endurance, drug content,
moisture content, moisture absorption, and various ex vivo mucoadhesion parameters like mucoadhesive strength, force of adhesion, and bond strength were evaluated. An in vitro drug release study was designed, and it was carried out using commercial semipermeable membrane. All these fabricated patches
were sustained for 24 h and obeyed first-order release kinetics. Ex vivo drug permeation study was also performed using porcine buccal mucosa, and various drug permeation parameters like flux and
lag time were determined. 相似文献

Cartilage damage was studied using non-invasive multiphoton-excited autofluorescence and quantitative second harmonic generation
(SHG) microscopy. Two cryopreservation techniques based upon freezing and vitrification methods, respectively, were employed
to determine whether or not the collagen fiber structure of full thickness porcine articular cartilage was affected by cryopreservation
and whether the level of collagen damage could be determined quantitatively in non-processed (non-fixed, non-sliced, non-stained)
tissues. Multiphoton-induced autofluorescence imaging revealed the presence of chondrocytes, as well as collagenous structures
in all fresh, vitrified and frozen cryopreserved cartilage samples. SHG imaging of the frozen cryopreserved specimens showed
a dramatic loss of mean gray value intensities when compared to both fresh and vitrified tissues (P < 0.05), indicating structural changes of the extracellular matrix, in particular the deformation and destruction of the collagen
fibers in the analyzed articular cartilage. A 0.9974 correlation coefficient was observed between the metabolic cell activity
assessed by the alamarBlue technique, and retention of collagen structure between the three experimental groups. These studies
suggest that multiphoton-induced autofluorescence imaging combined with quantitative SHG signal profiling may prove to be
useful tools for the investigation of extracellular matrix changes in preserved cartilage, giving insights on the structural
quality prior to implantation. 相似文献

The systemic delivery of peptides and proteins from the nasal, rectal, vaginal, and buccal mucosae has been the subject of active investigation. The objective of this study was to determine the pathway and rate of hydrolysis of methionine enkephalin (TGGPM), leucine enkephalin (TGGPL), and [D-Ala2] met-enkephalinamide (TAGPM) in homogenates of these non-oral mucosae relative to the ileal mucosa. Aminopeptidases appeared to contribute over 85% to the hydrolysis of TGGPM and TGGPL, while dipeptidyl peptidase and dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase contributed much less. Overall, TGGPM was somewhat more susceptible to hydrolysis than TGGPL but was 10 times more so than TAGPM. These enkephalins were most rapidly hydrolyzed in the rectal and buccal homogenates, followed by the nasal and then the vaginal homogenates, but the differences in hydrolytic rates were small. Indeed, these rates did not differ substantially from the ileal mucosa, suggesting that the same enzymatic barrier to enkephalin absorption possibly exists in both the oral and the non-oral mucosae. 相似文献

Changes in the morphology and cell number of the inner cell mass (ICM) of porcine blastocysts at the expanded and hatched stages during freezing (-6.8 degrees C, -35 degrees C and -196 degrees C) were studied by differential fluorochrome staining. The shape of each ICM cell from fresh blastocysts at the expanded and hatched stages was sharply delineated but that of ICM cells from frozen blastocysts was partially distorted. The cell-to-cell contact of the ICM from fresh blastocysts was tight, while that from frozen blastocysts was loose or scattered. The percentages (18 to 38%) of expanded and hatched blastocysts with tight-contact ICM cells from frozen groups at each step were significantly lower (P<0.05) than that (100%) from fresh blastocysts. The number of live ICM cells and their proportion from frozen expanded blastocysts (10.9, 12,4% at -36 degrees C) were significantly lower (P<0.05) than those from fresh embryos (18.4, 19.1%) and at -196 degrees C (20.6, 18.4%). At the hatched stage, the number of live ICM cells and their proportion were not significantly different between each freezing step. These results show that the ICM of porcine embryos at both the expanded- and hatched-blastocysts stages survived even after freezing at -196 degrees C and that the degree of ICM damage was lower at the hatched stage than at the expanded stage. 相似文献

Among mycobacteria secretion of the enzyme diphenoloxidase has been established as a property of Mycobacterium leprae. The antileprosy drug dapsone (DDS), which completely inhibits the enzyme from plant and mammalian sources, does not readily penetrate intact M. leprae. When the drug is complexed with polylysine, it easily permeates the bacteria and produces 100% inhibition of its diphenoloxidase, suggesting a permeability barrier of the cytoplasmic membrane of M. leprae to dapsone. In this study: (1) when the organisms, purified from fresh tissues of experimentally infected armadillos, were treated with dilute alkali or exposed to warmer temperatures, DDS penetrated the bacteria and inhibited the diphenoloxidase. Washing with trypsin had no effect. Dapsone easily permeated the bacilli, purified from tissues stored at 0 degrees C or at -80 degrees C. (2) Diphenoloxidase of freshly-prepared M. leprae was stimulated when the bacteria were exposed to 50 degrees C for 10 min; at 60 degrees C the activity decreased, and at 100 degrees C the enzyme was completely inactivated. When the enzyme was assayed at temperatures below 37 degrees C, the activity was considerably lower, indicating that M. leprae may not be a psychrophilic organism in this respect. (3) The bacteria exposed to 50 degrees C failed to multiply in mouse footpads. M. leprae remained viable in tissues stored at 0 degrees C or -80 degrees C; but when the bacteria purified from these tissues were frozen, they lost their viability. On the other hand, the organisms separated from fresh tissues remained viable when frozen at -80 degrees C. The inhibition of diphenoloxidase of M. leprae by dapsone could serve as an indirect method to assess the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane and to predict whether the bacteria would retain their viability on freezing. 相似文献

Fresh harvested dates are perishable and there is a need for extending their shelf life while preserving their fresh like quality characteristics. This study evaluates three different freezing methods, namely cryogenic freezing (CF) using liquid nitrogen; individual quick freezing (IQF) and conventional slow freezing (CSF) in preserving the quality and stability of dates during frozen storage. Fresh dates were frozen utilizing the three methods. The produced frozen dates were frozen stored for nine months. The color values, textural parameters, and nutrition qualities were measured for fresh dates before freezing and for the frozen dates every three months during the frozen storage. The frozen dates’ color values were affected by the freezing method and the frozen storage period. There are substantial differences in the quality of the frozen fruits in favor of cryogenic freezing followed by individual quick freezing compared to the conventional slow freezing. The results revealed large disparity among the times of freezing of the three methods. The freezing time accounted to 10 min for CF, and around 80 min for IQF, and 1800 min for CSF method. 相似文献

This work aims to prepare sustained release buccal mucoadhesive lyophilized chitosan sponges of buspirone hydrochloride (BH) to improve its systemic bioavailability. Chitosan sponges were prepared using simple casting/freeze-drying technique according to 32 factorial design where chitosan grade was set at three levels (low, medium, and high molecular weight), and concentration of chitosan solution at three levels (0.5, 1, and 2%). Mucoadhesion force, ex vivo mucoadhesion time, percent BH released after 8 h (Q8h), and time for release of 50% BH (T50%) were chosen as dependent variables. Additional BH cup and core buccal chitosan sponge were prepared to achieve uni-directional BH release toward the buccal mucosa. Sponges were evaluated in terms of drug content, surface pH, scanning electron microscopy, swelling index, mucoadhesion strength, ex vivo mucoadhesion time, and in vitro drug release. Cup and core sponge (HCH 0.5E) were able to adhere to the buccal mucosa for 8 h. It showed Q8h of 68.89% and exhibited a uni-directional drug release profile following Higuchi diffusion model.KEY WORDS: buspirone HCL, casting/freeze-drying technique, chitosan, cup and core sponge, mucoadhesive buccal sponges 相似文献

Plasma membranes were isolated from both unfrozen and frozen tissues of Jerusalem artichoke tubers (Helianthus tuberosus L.) in high purity utilizing an aqueous two-polymer phase partition system. Although the recovery of the plasma membranes was decreased significantly by freezing of tissues even at the nonlethal temperature (−5°C), the isolated plasma membrane samples were considered to be representative of the plasma membranes in situ. Freezing of the tissues at sublethal temperatures resulted in marked changes in the chemical composition of the plasma membrane. Those are losses of sterols and phosphatidylethanolamine from the plasma membranes, and a change of specific proteins with relatively high molecular weights into low molecular weight peptides. These specific proteins were designated as frost susceptible proteins. The properties of the plasma membrane ATPase seem to be not affected so much by the in vivo freezing of cells. However, inhibition of the plasma membrane ATPase by N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) was relatively low before and after freezing in vivo at the nonlethal temperature at −5°C, but was markedly enhanced by freezing in vivo at sublethal temperatures below −10°C. From the results, it is assumed either that the enzyme molecule was partially modified, especially at the presumed DCCD binding sites or that the DCCD had become more accessible to the enzyme as a result of increased permeability of the plasma membranes. These observed changes are discussed in connection with the mechanism of cell injury. 相似文献

Dielectric properties are the most important parameters determining energy deposition when biological tissues are exposed to radio frequency and microwave fields. Energy absorption is determined by the specific absorption rate (SAR). SAR distributions can be computed accurately only if the complex relative permittivity of the target tissue is known to a sufficiently high accuracy, and currently there is a lack of data on the dielectric properties of biological tissues at high frequencies. In this study, tissue dielectric properties are measured using an open-ended coaxial probe technique from 500 MHz up to 40 GHz. We present dielectric data for ex vivo bovine and porcine muscle and liver tissues at 37 °C. One-pole Cole–Cole model is used to fit the measured data as a function of frequency and the dispersion parameters are presented. This data is supported by an accurate study on reference liquids such as methanol and ethanediol. 相似文献

Intracellular activity of individual dehydrogenases in frozen tissues of Pinus monticola and Cronartium ribicola was demonstrated by supplying a specific substrate and the appropriate pyridine-nucleotide-linked coenzyme. Freezing broke cell permeability barriers releasing endogenous coenzymes and substrates which had produced nonspecific enzymatic reduction of nitro blue tetrazolium by miscellaneous dehydrogenases throughout fresh tissues. Freezing enhanced specificity by accentuating the differences between control and treatment sections. Succinic, ethanol, glutamic, α-glycerophosphate, isocitric, lactic, malic, glucose-6-phosphate, and 6-phos-phogluconate dehydrogenases and NAD and NADP diaphorases were localized within cells of the blister rust fungus and its western white pine host. NAD- and NADP-linked forms of glutamic, isocitric, and malic dehydrogenases were also detected. The distribution and activity of the enzymes are described for cell types of host and pathogen. β-Hydroxybutyric and pyruvic dehydrogenases were not detected. Calcium and magnesium (5 × 10−3 m final conen) and zinc (1.5 × 10−5 m final concn) had little or no effect on localization. Amytal increased reduction by 6-phosphogluconate, glutamic, and ethanol dehydrogenases while azide depressed the reaction for the last enzyme. Cyanide augmented diformazan formation with succinate. Transhydrogenase was eliminated as a likely contributor to spurious localization in these frozen tissues. Enzymatically produced diformazan appeared on the surface of lipid droplets in cells of both organisms in fresh and frozen sections. The use and interpretation of data from frozen and fresh tissues in tetrazolium cytochemistry are discussed. 相似文献

Any event that makes semen collection or mating impossible, such as death, castration, or injury, may terminate a stallion’s breeding career. Fortunately, stallion sperm which are capable of fertilization can be harvested from the epididymis, and frozen for future use. However, the fertility of frozen–thawed epididymal sperm has been found to be lower than that of ejaculated sperm. Therefore, this study aimed to optimize the fertility of frozen epididymal stallion sperm by investigating the effects of different cryoprotectants and freezing protocols on sperm quality. Dimethylformamide was tested alone or combination with pasteurized egg yolk as substitute of fresh egg yolk. In addition, the effect of the pre-freeze stabilization on sperm quality was analyzed. Heterospermic samples obtained from stallion epididymis were collected and cryopreserved in lactose–egg-yolk extender or in the same extender with varying content of cryoprotectant and content of egg yolk, stabilized and no-stabilized. Sperm motility, viability, hypoosmotic swelling test (HOST) and acrosome integrity were evaluated post-thawing. No improvement was observed on the replacement of fresh yolk by pasteurized egg yolk, whereas the results suggest that dimethylformamide is a cryoprotectant suitable for cryopreservation of equine epididymal semen, even better than glycerol. In addition, we found that the stabilization before freezing on epididymal stallion sperm, can improve sperm quality parameters. 相似文献

The study aim was concerned with formulation and evaluation of bioadhesive buccal drug delivery of tizanidine hydrochloride
tablets, which is extensively metabolized by liver. The tablets were prepared by direct compression using bioadhesive polymers
such as hydroxylpropyl methylcellulose K4M, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose alone, and a combination of these two polymers.
In order to improve the permeation of drug, different permeation enhancers like beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD), hydroxylpropyl beta-cyclodextrin
(HP-β-CD), and sodium deoxycholate (SDC) were added to the formulations. The β-CD and HP-β-CD were taken in 1:1 molar ratio
to drug in formulations. Bioadhesion strength, ex vivo residence time, swelling, and in vitro dissolution studies and ex vivo permeation studies were performed. In vitro release of optimized bioadhesive buccal tablet was found to be non-Fickian. SDC was taken in 1%, 2%, and 3% w/w of the total tablet weight. Stability studies in natural saliva indicated that optimized formulation has good stability in
human saliva. In vivo mucoadhesive behavior of optimized formulation was performed in five healthy male human volunteers and subjective parameters
were evaluated. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to prepare and evaluate a novel buccal adhesive system (NBAS) containing propranolol hydrochloride
(PH). A special punch was fabricated and used while preparing an NBAS. Solubility of PH in phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.6),
partition coefficient between phosphate buffer (pH 6.6) and 1-octanol, and permeability coefficient through the porcine buccal
mucosa were performed and found to be 74.66 mg/mL, 5.17, and 5.6, respectively. Stability of NBAS was determined in natural
human saliva, and it was found that both PH and device are stable in human saliva. NBAS was evaluated by weight uniformity,
thickness, hardness, friability, swelling, mucoadhesive strength, in vitro drug release, and in vivo human acceptability studies.
Swelling index was higher (4.4) for formulations containing hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) K4M alone, and it decreases
with its decreasing concentration in the NBAS. Mucoadhesive strength (MS) was measured by using a modified apparatus. All
NBASs showed higher MS with porcine buccal mucosa when compared with that of rabbit buccal mucosa. NBASs containing carbopol
(CP) 934P and HPMC K4M at the ratio of 1∶1 showed higher MS (44.76 g) with porcine buccal mucosa when compared with 1∶2 (39.76
g), 0∶1 (23.29 g), and 1∶0 (22.22 g) ratios, respectively. The mechanism of PH release was found to be by non-Fickian diffusion
(value of “n” between 0.5 and 1.0) and followed first order kinetics. In vivo human acceptability study showed that the newly
prepared NBAS was comfortable in the human buccal cavity. It can be concluded that NBAS is a superior, novel system that overcomes
the draw-back associated with the conventional buccal adhesive tablet. 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to prepare mucoadhesive in situ nasal gels with mucilage isolated from fig fruits (Ficus carica, family: Moraceae) containing midazolam hydrochloride. Nasal gels of midazolam were prepared using three different concentrations
(0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% w/v) of F. carica mucilage (FCM) and synthetic polymers (hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and Carbopol 934). Evaluation of FCM showed that it
was as safe as the synthetic polymers for nasal administration. In situ gels were prepared with mixture Pluronic F127 and mucoadhesive agents. Evaluation of the prepared gels was carried out, including
determination of viscosity, texture profile analysis and mucoadhesive strength. In vitro drug permeation study was conducted with the gels prepared with and without permeation enhancer (0.5% w/v sodium taurocholate) using excised goat nasal mucosa. In vitro permeation profiles were evaluated, and histological study of nasal mucosae before and after permeation study was also conducted
to determine histological change, if any. In vivo experiments conducted in rabbits further confirmed that in situ nasal gels provided better bioavailability of midazolam than the gels prepared from synthetic mucoadhesive polymers. It was
observed that the nasal gel containing 0.5% FCM and 0.5% sodium taurocholate exhibited appropriate rheological, mechanical
and mucoadhesive properties and showed better drug release profiles. Moreover, this formulation produced no damage to the
nasal mucosa that was used for the permeation study, and absolute bioavailability was also higher compared to gels prepared
from synthetic polymers. 相似文献

Epsilon toxin is a potent neurotoxin produced by Clostridium perfringens types B and D, an anaerobic bacterium that causes enterotoxaemia in ruminants. In the affected animal, it causes oedema of the lungs and brain by damaging the endothelial cells, inducing physiological and morphological changes. Although it is believed to compromise the intestinal barrier, thus entering the gut vasculature, little is known about the mechanism underlying this process. This study characterizes the effects of epsilon toxin on fluid transport and bioelectrical parameters in the small intestine of mice and rats. The enteropooling and the intestinal loop tests, together with the single-pass perfusion assay and in vitro and ex vivo analysis in Ussing''s chamber, were all used in combination with histological and ultrastructural analysis of mice and rat small intestine, challenged with or without C. perfringens epsilon toxin. Luminal epsilon toxin induced a time and concentration dependent intestinal fluid accumulation and fall of the transepithelial resistance. Although no evident histological changes were observed, opening of the mucosa tight junction in combination with apoptotic changes in the lamina propria were seen with transmission electron microscopy. These results indicate that C. perfringens epsilon toxin alters the intestinal permeability, predominantly by opening the mucosa tight junction, increasing its permeability to macromolecules, and inducing further degenerative changes in the lamina propria of the bowel. 相似文献

Two-year-old embryogenic tissues (ET) of Picea omorika (Pančić) Purk. were successfully cryopreserved after preculture with sucrose, air-drying for 2 h, and freezing in liquid
nitrogen (LN). The preculture protocol consisted of passaging the ET onto standard Litvay medium containing increasing concentrations
of sucrose (0.25 M sucrose for 24 h, 0.5 M for 24 h, 0.75 M for 2 days, and 1.0 M for 3 days) for 7 days, at 25°C, and in
the dark. The clumps were subsequently air-dried over silica gel, down to a 20% water content (based on fresh weight), placed
in cryovials, and immersed in liquid nitrogen (LN) for 24 h. These were thawed at 42°C and progressively rehydrated in phytagel-solidified
LM media containing decreasing concentrations of sucrose. After 3 weeks of in vitro culture, surviving clumps were friable
and white in color, similar to their morphology prior to cryostorage. The frequency of bacterial and fungal contamination
was higher if ET was frozen in LN-containing vials than in LN-free vials. This efficient cryopreservation protocol would be
useful for the ex-situ conservation of P. omorika germplasm in gene banks at very low temperatures. 相似文献

Background
The interpretability of microarray data can be affected by sample quality. To systematically explore how RNA quality affects microarray assay performance, a set of rat liver RNA samples with a progressive change in RNA integrity was generated by thawing frozen tissue or by ex vivo incubation of fresh tissue over a time course. 相似文献20.
The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate a buccal adhesive tablet containing ondansetron hydrochloride (OH).
Special punches and dies were fabricated and used while preparing buccal adhesive tablets. The tablets were prepared using
carbopol (CP 934), sodium alginate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose low viscosity (SCMC LV), and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose
(HPMC 15cps) as mucoadhsive polymers to impart mucoadhesion and ethyl cellulose to act as an impermeable backing layer. The
formulations were prepared by direct compression and characterized by different parameters such as weight uniformity, content
uniformity, thickness, hardness, swelling index, in vitro drug release studies, mucoadhesive strength, and ex vivo permeation study. As compared with the optimized formulation composed of OH—5 mg, CP 934—30 mg, SCMC LV—165 mg, PEG 6000—40 mg,
lactose—5 mg, magnesium stearate—1.5 mg, and aspartame—2 mg, which gave the maximum release (88.15%), non-bitter (OH) that
form namely ondansetron base and complexed ondansetron was used in order to make the selected formulation acceptable to human.
The result of the in vitro release studies and permeation studies through bovine buccal mucosa revealed that complexed ondansetron gave the maximum
release and permeation. The stability of drug in the optimized adhesive tablet was tested for 6 h in natural human saliva;
both the drug and device were found to be stable in natural human saliva. Thus, buccal adhesive tablet of ondansetron could
be an alternative route to bypass the hepatic first-pass metabolism and to improve the bioavailability of (OH). 相似文献
