Ultrasonic nebulization platforms for pulmonary drug delivery.
IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD Since the 1950s, ultrasonic nebulizers have played an important role in pulmonary drug delivery. As the process in which aerosol droplets are generated is independent and does not require breath-actuation, ultrasonic nebulizers, in principle, offer the potential for instantaneously fine-tuning the dose administered to the specific requirements of a patient, taking into a...
متن کاملA Bioreactor System Based on a Novel Oxygen Transfer Method
JUNE 2008 B ioreactor technologies for mammalian cell culture may seem quite sophisticated (1). In fact, efficient mammalian cell culture is simple and requires just two major elements: mixing and oxygen (O2) transfer. Traditional methods for mixing use an impellor, and the classical O2 transfer method features a sparging stone that expels air bubbles to increase the O2 transfer surface area in...
متن کاملUltrasonic versus jet nebulization of iloprost in severe pulmonary hypertension.
Inhalation of iloprost, a stable prostacyclin analogue, is a promising perspective in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. In initial clinical studies, a conventional jet nebulizer system was successfully used to decrease pulmonary vascular resistance and pressure, requiring however, up to twelve inhalations of 12-15 min per day. The aim of this study was to investigate if the application o...
متن کاملUltrasonic bioreactor as a platform for studying cellular response.
The need for tissue-engineered constructs as replacement tissue continues to grow as the average age of the world's population increases. However, additional research is required before the efficient production of laboratory-created tissue can be realized. The multitude of parameters that affect cell growth and proliferation is particularly daunting considering that optimized conditions are lik...
متن کاملEffect of ultrasonic nebulization on blood gas tensions in chronic obstructive lung disease.
Ultrasonic nebulization therapy (U/air) resulted in a decline in Pa02 of -5 to -22 rnm H g in ten of 15 chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) patients. A similar decline in Pa02 occurred in four of ten COLD patients when ultrasonic nebulization was given with intermittent positive pressure breathing (IPPB [IPPB/U/air]). Complaints of discomfat from treatment were elicited in ten of 15 COLD pa...
