The microspheres were prepared by optimizing several key parameters such as PLGA molecular weight, drug/polymer ratio, internal water volume and ethyl acetate. Drug loading efficiency, stability, in vitro release and tissue distribution in mouse were evaluated. The average particle size of the microspheres was 27.84 μm. The drug loading efficiency was 64.57%. The in vitro release of cefquinome from microspheres after 4 h was about 40% compared with over 90% for the drug alone. The concentration of cefquinome in lung reached 25 μg/g 0.25 h after injection, and kept at 10 μg/g 4 h after injection. However, the concentration of cefquinome was very low in other organs even 0.25 h after injection. In conclusion, Cefquinome-loaded PLGA microspheres are compatible as an effective lung-targeting drug delivery system and have a good sustained release efficacy.展开更多

Meanwhile, a novel type of functional and conductive thermal expandable microsphere was obtained through strongly covering the surface of microsphere by conductive polymers with the mass loading of 1.5%. The optimal conditions to prepare high foaming ratio and equally distributed microcapsules were investigated with AN-MMA-MA in the proportion of 70%/20%/10%（m/m/m）, and 25 wt% of n-hexane in oil phase. The further investigation results showed that the unexpanded TEMs were about 30 μm in diameter and the maximum expansion ratio was nearly 125 times of original volume. The polypyrrole（PPy） was smoothly coated on the surface of the TEMs and the expansion property of PPy-coated TEMs was almost the same as the uncoated TEMs. Moreover, the structure and expanding performance of TEMs and PPy-coated TEMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, laser particle size analyzer and dilatometer（DIL）.展开更多
