the coricosteroid drug dexamethasone is an efficacious antiinflammatory drug, it is difficult to formulate in an injectable formulation due to its poor aqueous solubility. A lipid-based nanosphere formulation containing dexamethasone was designed for solubilization of the drug in aqueous solution and sustained release of the drug from the nanosphere. The lipid nanospheres, composed of phospholipid, cholesterol and cationic lipid, were prepared by self emulsification-solvent diffusion method followed by diafiltration. Physicochemical characteristics such as mean particle diameter, zeta potential and drug loading efficiency of the lipid nanospheres were investigated according to the variation of either the kind of lipid or the lipid composition. The lipid nanospheres had a mean diameter 80-120 nm and dexamethasone loading efficiency of greater than 80%. The drug loading efficiency increased with the increase of the length of aliphatic chain attached to the phospholipid. However, the drug loading efficiency was inversely proportional to the increase of cholesterol content in the lipid composition. The lipid nanosphere could not be prepared without the use of cationic lipid and the drug loading efficiency was proportional to the increase of cationic lipid content. The lipid nanospheres containing dexamethasone are a promising novel drug carrier for an injectable formulation of the poorly water-soluble drugs.

DA-125투여에 따라 심근 조직내 지질과산화산물이 증가하였으나 동일용량의 ADM투여군보다는 적게 증가하였다. 적출십장기능 시험과 심전도 측정시 DA-125 투여와 관련된 특이한 변화는 관찰되지 않았으나 심장조직의 병리학적 검사에서는 심근세포의 약한 과립화 현상이 관찰되었다. 반면 ADM 투여군에서는 현저한 적출심장 기능의 저하, 특징적인 심전도변화 및 심근세포내 공포령성 및 과립화등의 변화가 나타났다. 조혈기독성시험에서는 DA-125와 ADM투여에 따라 백혈구 수의 감소가 가장 컸으며 백혈구 수는 약물투여후 4일째 최저치를 나타냈다가 8일후부터 회복하기 시작하여 약물투여 16일후에는 투여전치로 회복되었다. DA-125와 ADM의 조혈기독성의 pattern은 같으나 독성의 정도는 DA-125가 약한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구과제에서는 적출판류간실험법 (isolated perfused liver technique)을 약물의 간독성 유발 및 보간작용에 관한 실험법으로 개발하고자 butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) 을 이용하여 보간실험을 하였다. BHA를 식이투여한 흰쥐로부터 적출한 간에 간독성 모델물질로 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP) 을 관류시켜 관류액내의 DCPIP의 유리형, 환원형, glucuronide, sulfate 포합체의 대사체를 측정하여 DCPIP 외 대사양상을 관찰하였으며, 동시에 간세포 손상으로 관류액내로 유출된 lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)의 활성도를 측정하여 DCPIP예 의할 간세포독성 유발정도를 간접적으로 측정하여 대조군과 비교하였다. 그리고 BHA에 의한 보간작용이 약물대사효소의 변와에 기인한 것인가를 관찰하기 위하여 모델약물로 7-ethoxycoumarin (EC) 이나 EC의 phase I 대사산물인 7-hydroxycoumarin (HC) 을 관류시켜 관류액내의 HC의 유리체, glucuronide 포합체, sulfate 포합체로의 대사량을 측정하여 약물대사시 약물의 활성화에 관계하는 phase I mixed function oxidase (MFO) 효소와 약물의 해독화에 관계하는 phase II 포합효소 (UDP-glucuronyltranesferase(UDPGT)와 sulfotransferase (ST))의 활성도 변화를 측정하여 대조군과 비교하였다. 간독성 모델물질인 DCPIP를 적출한 흰쥐의 간에 관규시켰을때 BHA 전처리군이 LDH가 유출되기 시작하는 시간이 대조군에 비하여 유의적으로 늦었으며, LCH가 유출량도 유의적으로 감소되어 DCPIP에 의한 간독성 유발능력이 BHA에 의하여 감소됨을 관찰하였다. 아울러 DCPIP의 대사체중 환원체와 glucuronide 포합체의 생성량이 증가되어 BHA에 의하여 quinone reductase와 UDPGT 활성도가 증가되었음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 BHA 전처리에 의하여 MFO효소계와 ST의 활성도에는 변화가 없었으나 UDOGT 의 활성도는 약 2.2배 증가되었다. 이상의 결과로 BHA에 의한 보간작용은 간독성 물질을 활성화시키는 phase I MFO 효소의 활성도에는 변화없이 해독작용에 관여하는 phase II효소들의 활성도 증가에 기인된 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 이러한 결과는 적출한 관류간실험법은 여러 약물의 보간효과를 관찰하는 실험법으로 적합할 것으로 사료되었다.

This study has investigated the temperature-sensitive liposomes, which release anticancer drug(doxorubicin) at the hyperthermia temperature$(~40^{\circ}C)$. The temperature-sensitive liposomes were modified with a copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide(NIPAAm) and acrylamide(AAm), which exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) at the hyperthermia temperature. The release of doxorubicin from the modified liposomes was determined by measuring the fluorescence intensity with changing temperature and time. The release of doxorubicin from liposomes modified with poly(NIPAAm-co-AAm) copolymer was increased significantly, because poly(NIPAAm-co-AAm) could undergo the conformational transition in the narrow hyperthermia temperature region$(~40{\pm}2^{\circ}C)$. Moreover, we observed that doxorubicin released from liposomes within 5 minutes, and the size of modified liposomes was 120~170 nm. In this study, we have prepared temperature-sensitive liposomes which could be controlled by temperature. They can be applied in the field of a drug delivery system for tumor targeting by temperature control.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between warfarin-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and medication adherence among patients who underwent heart valve replacement surgery. The patients who underwent heart valve surgery and warfarin therapy were included in this study. The data was collected by administering questionnaires, and the data was then analyzed using the SPSS WIN 22.0 program. There was a positive relationship between warfarin-related knowledge and the adherence to medication (r=.285, p=004). Medication adherence was also positively correlated with warfarin-related knowledge (r=.250, p=.046) and self-efficacy (r=.292, p=.019) for elderly patients under 70 years of age. Further, medication adherence of elderly patients over 70 years of age was correlated with only warfarin-related knowledge (r=.358, p=.032). The results of this study show that in order to improve medication adherence, elderly people should be provided with warfarin-related knowledge through individually tailored education and nursing interventions that strengthen self-efficacy, as well as the knowledge that is needed in the elderly group under 70 years old.

In this study, we developed and optimized hydrophilic polymer-based solid dispersion formulations (SDs) using a spray drying method for improving the aqueous solubility of eprosartan, one of poorly soluble drugs that has been broadly used for the treatment of high blood pressure. Hydroxylpropylcellulose (HPC) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) were used as hydrophilic polymer matrices and poloxamer 407 (P407) added as a polymeric surfactant. Various kinds of solid dispersions with different drug/polymer compositions were prepared and their physico-chemical properties were compared. As the polymer content increased, the drug crystallinity in the SDs significantly decreased and the dissolution properties were enhanced. The PVP based SDs were observed to have relatively reduced crystallinity and an enhanced dissolution rate than HPC-based SDs, due to better miscibility between drug and polymer matrix. For PVP based SDs, the drug crystallinity almost disappeared and the dissolution properties significantly increased by more than 3~7 times.
