Journal of Kunming Medical University 2001;22(1):100-102,107
Glioma is the most common tumor in craniocerebra l neoplasms. It is hard to deal with for every neurosurgery not the difficulty o f operation,but the poor outcome. Many efforts was made in this area include ne w drugs in chemotherapy; intratumoral radiation, stereostatic radioneurosurgery in neuroradiation, and the new strategy of operation direct to tumor. Local intratumoral implants carried by biodegradable polymer provide a new promising approach for more selective and less neurotoxic in chemotherapy. The polymer microsphere carried with carboplatin is much powerful to glioma in vitro and in vivo. The disadvantages of carboplatin during delivery systemically disappeared.

Objective The purpose of this study was to clarify the mechanism of 2:1 atrioventricular block (AVB) during AV node reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) induced during electrophysioloic study.Methods In consecutive patients with AVNRT referred for electrophysiologic study, the data of 2 : 1 AVB during induced AVNRT was retrospectively analysed. Results The data of 4 patients was excluded from analyzing because of the unsatisfactory recording of His bundle potential during AVNRT. A His bundle deflection was present in the blocked beats in three of the remaining 5 patients and absent in the other two. At the beginning of AVNRT induced in those patients whose His bundle deflection was present in the blocked beats, H-V Wenckebach sequence with a QRS pattern of RBBB or LBBB was seen preceding and following the 2 : 1 AVB. A pattern of H-V Wenckebach phenomenon occurred once during AVNRT with 2:1 AVB in one of the two patients whose His bundle deflection was absent in the blocked beats.Conclusion The induced 2:1 AVB during AVNRT is due to functional block in the His-Purkinje system regardless of the presence or absence of a His bundle deflection in blocked beats.

The aim of this work was to investigate guar gum/ethylcellulose mix coated pellets for potential colon-specific drug delivery. The coated pellets, containing 5-fluorouracil as a model drug, were prepared in a fluidized bed coater by spraying the aqueous/ethanol dispersion mixture of guar gum and ethylcellulose. The lag time of drug release and release rate were adjustable by changing the ratio of guar gum to ethylcellulose and coat weight gain. In order to find the optimal coating formulation that was able to achieve drug targeting to the colon, the effect of two independent variables (the ratio of guar gum to ethylcellulose and the coat weight gain) on drug release characteristics was studied using 3×4 factorial design and response surface methodology. Results indicated that drug release rate decreased as the proportion of ethylcellulose in the hybrid coat and the coat weight gain increased. When the ratio of guar gum to ethylcellulose was kept in the range of 0.2 to 0.7, and the coat weight gain in the range of 250% to 500%, the coated pellets can keep intact for about 5 h in upper gastrointestine and achieve colon-specific drug delivery. The pellets prepared under optimal conditions resulted in delayed-release sigmoidal patterns with T5% (time for 5% drug release) of 5.1-7.8 h and T90% (time for 90% drug release) of 9.8-16.3 h. Further more, drug release was accelerated and T90% of the optimum formulation pellets decreased to 9.0-14.5 h in pH 6.5 phosphate buffer with hydrolase. It is concluded that mixed coating of guar gum and ethylcellulose is able to provide protection of the drug load in the upper gastrointestinal tract, while allowing enzymatic breakdown of the hybrid coat to release the drug load in the colon.
