Summary: In this study, a sustained-release microsphere formulation of Meloxicam (MLX) for topical treatment of osteoarthritis was developed. The microspheres showed prolonged release and reduced side effects in vivo. Therefore, local administration of MLX-loaded microspheres could be a promising preparation for the treatment of arthritis.

Summary: Excessive fibrosis following surgical procedures is a challenging condition with no effective preventive or therapeutic option. The use of a controlled release drug delivery system loaded with kynurenic acid (KynA) has been shown to effectively prevent fibrosis in closed wounds. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that KynA microspheres effectively reduced collagen deposition and alpha-smooth muscle actin expression, suggesting a novel therapeutic option for the prevention or treatment of post-surgical fibrosis.

Summary: Novel drug delivery systems based on in situ forming gel (ISFG) (PLGA-PEG-PLGA) and in situ forming implant (ISFI) (PLGA) were developed for one-month risperidone delivery in this study. Results indicated sustained release for about one month with the formulation containing 50% PLGA-PEG-PLGA triblock. ISFG showed higher cell viability than ISFI due to the gradual release of NMP. The optimized PLGA-PEG-PLGA exhibited consistent serum levels in vitro and in vivo through 30 days.

Summary: This research developed a collagen-based hybrid tissue repair patch that can integrate into surrounding tissue and control inflammatory responses for effective post-operative inflammation control. The patch enables simultaneous loading and release of multiple drugs with controllable ratios. The demonstration of co-encapsulation and release of anti-inflammatory dexamethasone and anti-epileptic phenytoin validates the dual drug delivery ability of this versatile composite material. The material's Young's modulus was increased to 20 KPa using a biocompatible riboflavin-induced UV light cross-linking strategy. This composite material has broad potential applications and warrants further research exploration.

Summary: In this study, chitosan-coated PLGA microspheres with rough surface and hollow structure were successfully prepared using a modified method. These microspheres can be used as drug carriers to improve drug loading efficiency and anticancer effect, and reduce drug administration frequency. The chitosan-modified microspheres showed prolonged anticancer activity and promoted apoptosis, suggesting their potential application in liver cancer treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to develop BDNF/PLGA microspheres for treating peripheral nerve defects. The results showed that BDNF microspheres promoted ADSC migration and neural differentiation, improved nerve conduction velocity, and prevented neuralgic amyotrophy. The sustained-release microspheres may be a promising approach for nerve repair.

Summary: A controlled drug release formulation based on PLGA microspheres loaded with finasteride was prepared and evaluated for monthly delivery via subcutaneous injection. The formulation stably released the drug, with PK-PD models predicting monthly delivery and pharmacological effects without burst release. The optimal dose of the formulation containing 16.8 mg of finasteride was determined based on the predicted PK-PD profiles.
