title: [The preparation of poly (DL-lactide) hollow fiber and the release of drug in vitro].
abstract: The biodegradable hollow fibers of DL-PLA were prepared by a dry-wet phase inversion spinning process. By using four different spinning systems, DL-PLA hollow fibers with varying asymmetric membrane structure were obtained. The structure of hollow fiber wall was examined by SEM. In vitro release of norethisterone from the DL-PLA hollow fibers was also investigated. The hollow fibers were filled with a 50 wt% NET in castor oil. The DL-PLA hollow fibers NET release was found to be dependent on the membrane structure of the hollow fiber wall. Possible release mechanisms were discussed.
