In this study, heparin-loaded microspheres having smooth surface and small particle size were designed in order to provide the absorption of heparin through nasal mucosa. For this purpose, microspheres at different polymer/drug ratios (1:10, 1:2.5 and 1:1) and at different concentrations of polyvinyl alcohol, emulsifying agent (1.5% and 2.5% w/v) were prepared by solvent evaporation method with poly(lactic acid). The microspheres were for evaluated shape and surface properties, particle size, production yield, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro drug release. Based on the in vitro data, selected microspheres were applied by nasal route to Wistar albino rats. According to in vivo studies, heparin-loaded microspheres may be used by nasal route as an alternative to parenteral route.

Fascial adipocytes are recently identified as a unique population of adipose cells, which have different developmental origins, anatomical locations, cytological and functional characteristics compared with subcutaneous or visceral adipocytes. Superficial fascia in rats (also in pigs but not obviously in mice) contains numbers of lineage committed preadipocytes which possess adipogenic potential in vivo. The present study aimed to investigate the physiological factors that contribute to fascial adipogenesis in rats.

This development of the micro- and nanoparticle technology will bring a new momentum to drug delivery and biomedical therapy. In this case, heparin-loaded polycaprolactone microspheres (PCL-Hep MSs) were prepared by a single-step phase separation method, and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The hemocompatibility and anticoagulant effect of the PCL-Hep MSs were investigated for heparin loading and release study, coagulation tests, hemolysis assay, morphological changes of red blood cells, complement activation, and cytotoxicity experiments.

Recent advances in micro- and nanotechnology have provided a variety of particles with highly controlled shapes, sizes, chemical composition, and interesting properties. In this work, a novel kind of heparin-functionalized polyurethane microsphere (Hep-PU MS) was synthesized by a single-step phase separation method. The blood compatibility and anticoagulant effect of the Hep-PU MSs were investigated using coagulation tests, hemolysis assay, complement and platelet activation detection, cytotoxicity analysis, and drug loading and release study.

Low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) have shown efficacy in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease after parenteral administration however risking severe hemorrhagic adverse effects. Therefore, an oral colonic targeted heparin dosage form allowing the release of LMWH directly in the inflamed tissue would be of major interest. Enoxaparin was entrapped into pH-sensitive microspheres using Eudragit P4135F that dissolves at pH>7.

Microspheres of amphiphilic triblock polymers PLLA-PEG-PLLA were investigated as carriers for heparin delivery. Two series of PLLA-PEG-PLLA triblock were synthesized and prepared into microspheres with heparin loaded. The microspheres were hollow and the surface morphology varied from smooth to porous.
