a multiple-unit oral floating system was prepared using the emulsification-solvent diffusion method to prolong the gastric emptying time of theophylline. for this purpose, theophylline, ethyl cellulose and dibutyl phthalate were dissolved in an ethanol/dichloromethane mixture, added to 0.1 m hcl containing nacl (20%) or saturated theophylline and/or different concentrations of polysorbate 80 an...

objective(s): nanoparticles (nps) are known for their specific accumulation in the inflamed tissues of the colon and thus allow a selective delivery to the site of inflammation with minimum adverse effects. the main objective of this work is to attain mesalamine loaded chitosan nanoparticles as a carrier for oral delivery. methods: in this study, mesalamine loaded chitosan nanoparticles were pr...

Designer nanoscaled materials have the potential to revolutionize diagnosis and treatment for glioma. This review summarizes current progress in nanoparticle-based therapies for glioma treatment including targeting, drug delivery, gene delivery, and direct tumor ablation. Preclinical and current human clinical trials are discussed. Although progress in the field has been significant over the pa...

conclusions this study demonstrated that physicochemical properties, in vitro release and rat intestine permeability were dependent upon the contents of s/c, water and oil percentage in formulations. background self-emulsifying drug delivery system is an isotropic mixture of natural or synthetic oils, non-ionic surfactants or, one or more hydrophilic solvent and co-solvents/surfactant and polym...

objective(s): the aim of this work was to prepare and characterize magnetic nanoparticles (mnps) as theranostic system to act simultaneously as drug carrier and mri contrast agent. chitosan-coated mnps (cmnps) were prepared and loaded with silymarin. silymarin-loaded cmnps were characterized with various techniques and their potential as mri contrast agent was also evaluated. materials and meth...

Background and aim: Eczema is a common inflammatory skin disease. Although history and physical examination are important in diagnosis of allergen, because of extent of environmental allergens, those are not simply recognized. The objective of this study was to determine allergens in patients with contact or atopic dermatitis referred to Razi hospital.Materials and Meth...

background: conduction analgesia is one of the most effective routes for relief of labor pain. combined spinal epidural analgesia may cause less maternal and neonatal complications. these study aimed to investigate the effects of combined spinal epidural analgesia on progress of labor delivery and related complications. methods: in a randomized clinical trial study 220 women in spontaneous labo...
