Resumen
Un nuevo sistema inyectable de microesferas-gel proporciona triamcinolona acetonida (TA) para la osteoartritis, reduciendo la exposición sistémica y mejorando la retención de fármacos en las articulaciones para mejorar la eficacia y seguridad del tratamiento.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencia de los Biomateriales Ciencia de los Biomateriales.
- Sistemas de suministro de drogas Sistemas de suministro de drogas.
- Terapéutica para la osteoartritis Terapéutica para la osteoartritis Terapéutica para la osteoartritis Terapéutica para la osteoartritis Terapéutica para la osteoartritis Terapéutica para la osteoartritis
Sus antecedentes:
- El tratamiento de la osteoartritis (OA) a menudo implica inyecciones de corticosteroides como la triamcinolona acetonida (TA).
- Las suspensiones convencionales de TA tienen limitaciones que incluyen un corto tiempo de residencia intraarticular y una absorción sistémica significativa.
- Estas limitaciones pueden reducir la eficacia terapéutica y aumentar el riesgo de efectos secundarios sistémicos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Desarrollar y evaluar un nuevo compuesto inyectable de microsfera-gel para la administración intraarticular sostenida de TA.
- Para superar las limitaciones de los métodos actuales de administración de AT para el tratamiento de la OA.
- Para mejorar la eficacia terapéutica y el perfil de seguridad de las inyecciones intraarticulares de TA.
Principales métodos:
- Las microesferas de policaprolactona (PCL) cargadas con triamcinolona acetonida (TA) (TA@PCL) se fabricaron utilizando tecnología microfluídica.
- Las microsferas TA@PCL fueron incrustadas dentro de un gel de ácido hialurónico (CLHA) para crear un compuesto inyectable (TA@PCL@CLHA).
- Las propiedades del compuesto se evaluaron a través de estudios in vitro (reología, estabilidad, liberación del fármaco) y estudios in vivo (farmacocinética, retención conjunta del fármaco en conejos).
Principales resultados:
- Se prepararon con éxito microesferas TA@PCL uniformes con alta eficiencia de encapsulación.
- El compuesto TA@PCL@CLHA demostró una excelente inyectabilidad y estabilidad durante más de 90 días.
- Los estudios in vitro mostraron una liberación sostenida de TA durante un mes, con el gel CLHA mitigando la liberación de ráfagas.
- Los estudios in vivo en conejos revelaron una reducción significativa de las concentraciones plasmáticas máximas (aprox. 65% de reducción) y la exposición sistémica (aprox. 49% de reducción) del TA.
- Los niveles detectables de fármaco se mantuvieron en el líquido sinovial durante al menos 30 días.
Conclusiones:
- El compuesto de microesfera y gel TA@PCL@CLHA sirve como un sistema eficaz de administración de fármacos intraarticulares para la OA.
- Este sistema minimiza significativamente la exposición sistémica a la TA al tiempo que garantiza la presencia prolongada de la droga local.
- El compuesto desarrollado representa una estrategia prometedora para mejorar los resultados del tratamiento de la OA.

Solution Composition During Acid/Base Titrations
1.6K
The titration of a weak acid with a strong base results in the formation of water and the conjugate base of the acid. For instance, titrating acetic acid with sodium hydroxide leads to the formation of water and sodium acetate. A solution of acetic acid and sodium acetate constitutes a buffer whose relative concentration at different stages of the titration is indicated by the α values, which represent percentages of the weak acid and its conjugate base.

Matter: Pure Substances and Mixtures
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.

Composite Bodies
1.4K
A composite body is a body made up of multiple parts, connected to form a larger, unified object. Each part has its own weight and center of gravity, which must be considered to determine the center of gravity of the composite body. In cases where the density or specific weight is constant, the center of gravity coincides with the centroid.
Composite bodies have widespread applications in mechanical engineering, from automobiles to aircraft to rockets. For example, an automobile wheel comprises...

The blood in our bodies comprises three major components: blood plasma, formed elements, and the extracellular matrix. Blood plasma is a yellowish fluid that constitutes 55% of the total blood volume. It is primarily made up of water and essential substances such as electrolytes and proteins. Blood plasma serves as a medium for transporting blood cells and also contains nutrients, enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and gases.
Formed elements constitute the remaining 45% of the blood volume. These...
