OBJECTIVE:To prepare nattokinase immunoliposomes and its lyophilized product and to evaluate its pharmaceutical quality. METHODS: Nattokinse liposomes were prepared by film dispersion method, then the immunoliposomes were prepared by carbodiimide method coupled anti-human fibrin D-dimer monoclone antibody SZ-63 and lyophilized and evaluated about its pharmaceutical quality. RESULTS: Lyophilized immunoliposomes were multilamellar vesicles with its mean diameter, Zeta potentials at 251.6 nm, —34.6 mV, respectively. The lyophilized product of nattokinase immunoliposomes exhibited good appearance and satisfactory redispersibility, with its loss on drying at 14.30% and critical relative humidity at 45.66%. CONCLUSION: Nattokinase immunoliposomes and its lyophilized product have been prepared successfully.

The aerosol of biodegradable multi-function film was prepared by means of two-step methods, and its properties were investigated. The average loading capacity was 4.8603 g; the average leaking rate was 3.03% per year which was less than 5%. And the average ejecting rate was 0.7380 g/s. The results demonstrate that the aerosol of biodegradable multi-function film has met the principles governing the quality of the aerosols.

Objective This study aimed to estimate the impact of the threshold of Autocapture algorithm on the pacemaker's service life.Methods Seventy-four patients implanted with VVI pacemaker were retrospectively evaluated.Among them,48 were implanted with pacemaker of autocapture function.Diagnostic data were retrieved from device memory.Pacemaker's service life was estimated according to the working flow and voltage.Results (1) The average working voltage of the control group and the observation group was (2.8 ± 0.4) V and (1.1 ± 0.4)V respectively.The difference was statistically significant;(2) The battery life in the observation group was (12.59 ± 0.55) a,significantly longer than that in the control group (6.74 ± 1.12) a,with an 86.8％ increase of the device's estimated service life (P＜0.05).Conclusion The Autocapture function results in a significant service life of cardiac pacemaker and represents valuable clinical technology.

There has been increasing interest in research and development of nanocrystals for the delivery of poorly water-soluble drugs that can be directly produced from solution. Compared with traditional carrier-based or encapsulation designs, drug nanocrystals circumvent possible side-effects due to carrier polymers and poor stability issues associated with encapsulation. The production of carrier-free nanocrystals requires careful control of nucleation and thus a thorough understanding of the relevant solution's metastable zone. A solution may stay supersaturated without forming any nuclei and become metastable. The maximal degree of supersaturation is known as the metastable zone width. When nucleation is triggered directly from the metastable zone, it helps to produce homogeneous nuclei leading to uniform nanocrystals. Herein, we report a study in which the solubility and metastable limit of paclitaxel (PTX) in ethanol aqueous solution were measured at 40 °C. A wide range of metastable compositions were studied to prepare carrier-free PTX nanocrystals with particle size smaller than 250 nm and PDI less than 0.25. Compared with the raw material, dissolution rate of PTX nanocrystals was significantly increased. The study enables production of high-quality drug nanocrystals for treating patients.
