Lyotropic liquid crystal system is formed by the amphiphilic molecules dissolving in polar solvents with a special geometric structure. Lamellar, cubic and hexagonal mesophases are some of the most common lyotropic liquid crystal systems. Recently, they have attracted much research attention because of their distinctive structures and physico-chemical properties(like strong bioadhesion, high permeability, low liquidity, and slow released drug), and have been widely used as carriers for drug delivery systems, especially in transdermal and mucosal fields. According to the research about lyotropic liquid crystal and nasal route of administration in our group, and the related references in recent years, we investigate the technical strategies about the using of lyotropic liquid crystal in transdermal and mucosal drug delivery system. Among them, we specially put the emphasis on the application prospects of lyotropic liquid crystal in the nasal mucosal administration, and then provide a theoretical basis and future research directions in the development of lyotropic liquid crystal in transdermal and mucosal administration fields.

Objective To make classification and segment measurement for the cases with tibiofibular and ankle fractures in parachuting landing, and investigate main classification types of parachuting fractures and fracture segments of high risk.Methods A total of 56 fracture cases in parachuting landing were collected, and the tibiofibula and ankle fractures were classified according to AO-OTA or Lauge-Hansen classification standards respectively based on their digital X-ray images. The medium plane between talus and tibia joint planes in ankle joint was defined as the reference plane. The highest and lowest injury points of tibia and fibula were marked respectively, and the fracture segment was defined between the highest and lowest point for statistical analysis.Results For tibiofibular and ankle fracture cases in parachuting landing, fracture at both tibia and fibula accounted for 80.4%. The major classification of tibiofibula fracture was 42-D/5.2 (45.8%) and 42-D/5.1 (16.7%). The major classification for ankle fracture was pronation-external rotation (PER, 59.4%) and supination-external rotation (SER, 37.5%). When tibiofibular and ankle fracture cases in parachuting landing occurred, the fracture segment of the tibia was mainly from 57 to 143 mm above the reference plane and from 6 mm below the reference plane to 24 mm above the reference plane, while the fracture segment of the fibula was 4-45 mm and 74-83 mm above the reference plane. Injury risks of all above segments were higher than 50%.Conclusions For protection of lower limbs in parachuting landing, the fracture at both tibia and fibula should be highly noticed. The ankle motion of PER and SER should be especially restricted in parachuting ankle protection.
