Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of EBI. In this study, we synthesized antioxidant stress nanoparticles based on self-assembled oleanolic acid (OA) using the solvent volatilization method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques were employed to analyze and understand the self-assembly mechanism of oleic acid nanoparticles (OA NPs). The TUNEL assay, Nissl staining, and brain water content measurements were conducted to investigate the impact of OA NPs on cortical neuronal injury. Additionally, Western blot analysis was performed to investigate the antioxidant stress mechanism of OA NPs. The result showed that OA NPs exhibited a spherical structure with an average diameter of 168 nm. The application of OA NPs in SAH has been found to contribute to the reduction of keap1 protein levels and an increase in the nuclear level of Nrf2. As a result, the transcription of antioxidant stress proteins, including HO1 and NQO1, is triggered. The activation of the antioxidant stress pathway by OA NPs ultimately leads to a decrease in neuron damage and an improvement in neurological dysfunction. In conclusion, we successfully designed and synthesized OA NPs that can efficiently target the site of SAH.

Furthermore, the predominant phenotype; solid masses or freely floating cells, has altering implications on the effectiveness of drug delivery systems. The standard of care is the intrathecal delivery of chemotherapy drugs but it is associated with increased instances of treatment-related complications, low patient compliance, and suboptimal drug distribution. An alternative involves administering the drugs systemically, after which they must traverse fluid barriers to arrive at their destination within the leptomeningeal space. However, this route is known to cause off-target effects as well as produce subtherapeutic drug concentrations at the target site within the central nervous system.

These dual functional species, regarding their concurrent Pickering stabilization and active carrying/delivery capabilities, were formulated with different solid lipid and surfactant types, and the effect on the release and co-release modulation of two hydrophobic actives separately encapsulated within the lipid particles themselves and within the emulsion droplets was investigated. Disparities between the release profiles from the particles in aqueous dispersions or at an emulsion interface, were related to the specific lipid matrix composition. Particles composed of lipids with higher oil phase compatibility of the emulsion droplets were shown to exert less control over their release regulation ability, as were particles in the presence of surfactant micelles in the continuous phase. Irrespective of their formulation characteristics, all particles provided a level of active release control from within the emulsion droplets, which was dependant on the permeability of the formed interfacial layer. Specifically, use of a bulkier particle surfactant or particle sintering at the droplet interface resulted in more sustained droplet release rates.

Gelatin particles (GPs) and hydrolyzed gelatin (HG) were injected into tissue models, including versatile training tissue (VTT), versatile training tissue tumor-in type (VTT-T), and broiler chicken muscles (BCM), using needle gauges between 23 G and 33 G.

The reduction in backflow with HG of different molecular weights showed that lower-molecular-weight HG required a higher-concentration dose (5% to 30%) and that higher-molecular-weight HG required a lower-concentration dose (7% to 8%).
