title: [Studies on preparation and characteristics of cisplatin chitosan microspheres].
abstract: In this paper, the preparation, drug content, size and size distribution, appearance and morphology, release characteristics in vitro and degradation characteristics of cisplatin chitosan microspheres (CDDP-DAC-MS) were studied. CDDP-DAC-MS were prepared by emulsion-crosslink technique. The CDDP-DAC-MS was shown to have rough spherical surface under scanning electron microscopy. The average diameter of the microspheres was 74.80 microns and CDDP content was 20.83% +/- 0.36%. CDDP-DAC-MS swelled slightly in saline after 1 h. Within the test period, the release of CDDP from CDDP-DAC-MS in saline solution could be described by first-order equation. The microspheres were sterilized by 60Co radiation. After 28 d of hepatic artery embolization with CDDP-DAC-MS in dogs, pathological photomicrograph showed that CDDP-DAC-MS could still be observed.
