The nasal route is one of the most permeable and highly vascularized site for ensuring rapid drug absorption and onset of therapeutic action. It has been potentially explored as an alternative route for delivery of drugs with poor bioavailability and for the biosensitive and high molecular weight compounds such as proteins, peptides, steroids, vaccines,etc. In this review nasal drug delivery approach and its limitations, some factors influencing drug absorption,mucoadhesion, and the safety of nasal mucoadhesive drug delivery systems as well were discussed.
5.Establishment and comparison of right ventricular failure of animal models
Chinese Journal of Comparative Medicine 2017;27(6):92-97
Right ventricular failure(RVF)is a severe clinical syndrome that affects human health seriously.The establishment and application of experimental animal models are critical to research the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, prevention and treatment of RVF.Recently, numerous researchers have studied the modeling methods and testing indexes of RVF of animal models, which has improved the success rate and quality of the models.However, even if so many models, there is still no widely accepted experimental animal model of RVF because of the different and complex modeling methods, material selection and experimental conditions.This article reviews the methods and mechanism of multiple experimental animal models of RVF and compares them, so as to provide reference for choosing and applying experimental animal models of RVF in the study.

Objectives:To explore the pathogenesis of nasal polyposis by examining the expression of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) in human inflammatory nasal polyps. Methods: Twenty five polyposis patients were selected, tissue TGF-β1~3 from nasal polyps and inferior turbinate mucosa were determined with immunohistochemistry APAAP method .The inferior turbinate mucosa from eight healthy volunteers were selected as control. Six polyp tissues were estimated with western-blot analyses to compare the characteristics of TGF-beta isoforms expression. Results: ①The expression of TGF-β1~3 in nasal polyps was significantly higher than that in nasal mucosa, it was undetectable in nasal mucosa from healthy volunteers;②TGF-β1 was the main isoform detected in nasal polyps. Conclusions: TGF-β, especially TGF-β1 is strongly expressed in inflammatory nasal polyps and its mucosa. TGF-β could induce modification of epithelium and connective tissue and therefore be involved in the pathogenesis of nasal polyposis.
