AIMTo study the enhancing effect of electroporation and iontophoresis on the permeation of insulin through human cadaver skin in vitro.
METHODSUsing side by side two-chamber diffusion cells, the flux of insulin achieved with iontophoresis and electrophoration were compared.
RESULTSThe application of high-voltage pulse combined with iontophoresis resulted in higher flux transdermal permeation of insulin than either one technique alone (P < 0.05). Pulsing at a higher voltage increased the flux of insulin more dramatically than pulsing at a lower voltage (P < 0.01). The transdermal transport of insulin by 90 pulse of 500 V (exponential pulse generater, pulse time: 20-24 ms, pulse frequency: 3 pulse.min-1) followed by iontophoresis led to a quick input and a high steady flux.
CONCLUSIONElectroporation combined with iontophoresis can enhance the permeation of insulin significantly.

Objective To compare the myocardial protective effects of isoflurane versus sevoflurane in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients (NYHA Ⅱ or Ⅲ ) of both sexes, aged 40-55 yr, weighing 55-94 kg, scheduled for elective OPCABG, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 20 each): isoflurane group ( group Ⅰ) and sevoflurane group ( group S). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, sufentanil and vecuronium. Patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated. Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of isoflurane or sevoflurane and infusion of sufentanil and vecuronium. In group Ⅰ, the initial end-tidal concentration of isoflurane was 1.2%. In group S, the initial end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane was 1.7 %. BIS value was maintained at 40-50 by adjusting the end-tidal concentration of isoflurane or sevoflurane. The central venous blood samples were collected immediately before skin incision, at the end of surgery, 2 and 24 h after surgery for determination of plasma creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) activity and cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) concentration. The adverse cardiovascular events were recorded. Results The incidences of ventricular premature beat, tachycardia, bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation and S-T segment elevation ( >0.1 mV) during surgery and the plasma CK-MB activity and cTnI concentration after surgery were significantly higher in group S than in group Ⅰ ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Isoflurane has better myocardial protective effect than sevoflurane in patients undergoing OPCABG.

Objective To prepare lipid-coated ultrasound microbubbles containing 10-HCPT(HLM) and explore the antitumor effects on mice xenografed H22 solid tumor using the technique of ultrasound-mediated HLM destruction. Methods Sixty-four tumor-bearing mice were radomly divided into A and B groups. Each group was divided into four groups again and administered respectively by tail vein with HI.M, non-drug-loaded microbubbles,10-HCPT and saline once a day. Ultrasound irradiation was applied on the tumor sites immediately after injection. After 7 days of consecutive treatment, all mice in group A were sacrificed and the tumors were harvested to measure weights. The tumor inhibition rate was calculated by weights. The tumor microvessel density (MVD) was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The tumor growth curve was depicted according to volumes. The survival time of mice in group B was recorded. Results The tumor inhibition rate was the highest in HLM group while this group's MVD was the lowest. Survival time in HLM group and 10-HCPT group were obviously longer compared with the control group,while no statistic difference was observed between the two groups. There was no statistic difference between the group of non-drug-loaded microbubbles and the control group. Conclusions Ultrasound irradiation mediates HLM destruction so that the drug is released from the vihicles at the same time, which can significantly enhance the tumor inhibition effect of 10-HCPT on the H22 tumor. This technique is expected to be adopted as a novel tool for liver cancer chemotherapy.
