摘要:
Abstraet-The competitive adsorption of proteins and phospholipids on ω-methacryloyloxyalkyl phosphorylcholine (MAPC) polymer was evaluated in this study. Albumin, fibrinogen, and dimyrstoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) were used as model components. The amount of DMPC adsorbed on the MAPC polymers increased with an increase in the MAPC unit composition of the polymer. The methylene chain length of the MAPC unit was another factor influencing the DMPC adsorption when the MAPC unit composition of the MAPC polymer was low. The state of albumin and DMPC liposome adsorbed on the 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer was determined by dynamic contact angle (DCA) measurement. The adsorption strength of albumin on the MPC polymer was weaker than that on the poly[n-butyl methacrylate (BMA)], that is, the albumin was detached from the MPC polymer during the rinsing process. On the poly(BMA) surface, no difference in the shape of the DCA loops before and after contact with the DMPC liposomal suspension was observed. Fibrinogen adsorption on the MAPC polymer was detected by gold-colloid labeled immunoassay. The amount of fibrinogen adsorbed on every MAPC polymer surface was reduced by addition of the DMPC liposome in the fibrinogen solution. The number of platelets adhered on the MAPC polymer was also decreased when the DMPC liposome was present in the fibrinogen solution during pretreatment. We concluded that phospholipids were preferentially adsorbed on the MAPC polymer surface compared with plasma protein and that the adsorbed phospholipids played an important role in showing an excellent blood compatibility on the MAPC polymer.

摘要:
A photosensitive polymer, α-phenylcinnamylideneacetylated poly(L-lysine), was synthesized and characterized. This photosensitive poly(L-lysine) had 10% of its lysine residues reacted with α-phenylcinnamylidene acetyl group and displayed an absorption maximum at 329 nm. The photosensitive poly(L-lysine) was used for the preparation of microcapsules. The capsules formed from this photosensitive poly(L-lysine) and alginate were strengthened significantly by light irradiation. The photo cross-linked capsular membrane was permeable to proteins with mass transfer rate in the descending order: cytochrome C, myoglobin, and serum albumin. GH3 (a rat pituitary tumor cell line) cells were encapsulated and cultured with this microencapsulation system. The cells proliferated to a density of about 4 x 105cells ml-1in the capsules after 6 days cultivation.

摘要:
Drug-impregnated polyetectrolyte complex (PEC) sponge composed of chitosan and sodium alginate was prepared for wound dressing application. The morphological structure of this wound dressing was observed to be composed of a dense skin outer layer and a porous cross-section layer by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Equilibrium water content and release of silver sulfadiazine (AgSD) could be controlled by the number of repeated in situ PEC reactions between chitosan and sodium alginate. The release of AgSD from AgSD-impregnated PEC wound dressing in PBS buffer (PH = 7.4) was dependent on the number of repeated in situ complex formations for the wound dressing. The antibacterial capacity of AgSD-impregnated wound dressing was examined in agar plate against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococus aureus. From the behavior of antimicrobial release and the suppression of bacterial proliferation, it is thought that the PEC wound dressing containing antimicrobial agents could protect the wound surfaces from bacterial invasion and effectively suppress bacterial proliferation. In the cytotoxicity test, cellular damage was reduced by the controlled released of AgSD from the sponge matrix of AgSD-mcdicated wound dressing. In vivo tests showed that granulation tissue formation and wound contraction for the AgSD plus dihydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) impregnated PEC wound dressing were faster than any other groups.

摘要:
The ability of an exopolymer of glycoproteic character (GP) excreted by a new gram-negative specie Pseudoalteromonas antarctica NF3, to coat phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes and to protect these bilayers against the action of the nonionic surfactant octyl glucoside (OG) has been investigated. TEM micrographs of freeze-fractured liposome/GP aggregates reveal that the addition of GP to liposomes led to the formation of a covering structure (polymer adsorbed onto the bilayers) that tightly coated PC bilayers. The complete coating was already achieved when the proportion of GP assembled with liposomes was approximately 10% (wt% vs total PC). Higher GP amounts resulted in a growth of this coating structure which exhibited at the highest GP proportion in the system (31 % of assembled GP) a multilayered structure. An increasing resistance of PC liposomes to be affected by OG both at sublytic and lytic levels occurred as the proportion of GP in the system rose; this protective effect being more effective when the proportion of assembled GP was 10-20% in weight. Thus, although a direct dependence was found between the growth of the enveloping structure and the resistance of the coated liposomes to be affected by OG, the best protection occurred when the proportion of assembled GP was about 10 wt%.

摘要:
Block and graft copolymers of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) with 2-(trimethylammonio)ethyl methacrylate (TMAEM) were synthesized for the preparation of polyelectrolyte complexes with calf thymus DNA intended for targeted delivery of genes in vivo. In this study, the effects of the poly(HPMA) content of copolymers on the parameters of the interpolyelectrolyte complexes is investigated. Static and dynamic light scattering methods were used as a main tool for characterization. The ability of the copolymers to condense DNA was studied by the ethidium bromide displacement method. The stability of the complexes against precipitation in 0.15 M NaCl and the resistance of the complexed DNA to the action of nucleases was also studied. It was found that the presence of poly(HPMA) in the copolymers has not significantly affected the ability of poly(TMAEM) parts of the copolymers to form complexes with DNA, but has an effect on molecular parameters and aggregation (precipitation) of the complexes. The size of the complexes increases with increasing poly(HPMA) content while their apparent molecular weight decreases. The complex stability against precipitation in 0.15 M NaCl strongly depends on the amount of poly(HPMA) in the copolymer structure. The presence of a sufficiently high content of poly(HPMA) is a prerequisite for achieving good stability. The structure of the complexes changes with increasing poly(HPMA) content from 'soft balls' to the polymer coil. The density of the complexes decreases with increasing poly(HPMA) content independently of the copolymer structure. The DNA complexes of all copolymers showed very good nuclease stability.

摘要:
pH-Sensitive dextran hydrogels were prepared by activation of dextran (T-70) with 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate, followed by conjugation of the activated dextran with 4-aminobutyric acid and cross-linking with 1,10-diaminodecane. The cross-linking efficiencies determined by mechanical measurements were in the range of 52-63%. Incorporation of carboxylpropyl groups in dextran hydrogels led to a higher equilibrium and faster swelling under high pH conditions. The swelling reversibility of hydrogels was also observed after repeated changes in buffers between pH 2.0 and 7.4. The slow rates of swelling and deswelling in response to changes in pH were attributed to the hydrophilic nature of dextran and formation of hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl groups of dextran with water molecules. The pronounced effect of carboxylic acid content on degradation of hydrogels was observed after 4 h of incubation with dextranase and the influence significantly decreased after exposure to the enzyme for 8 h. The mechanism of bulk degradation of hydrogels under high swelling extent was substantiated using Coomassie blue protein assay. The release rate of bovine serum albumin from hydrogels was primarily determined by the swelling extent. The release rate was further enhanced by addition of dextranase in buffer solutions.
