Using SPECT, we have reconstructed 3-D images incorporating an attenuation correction technique utilising aligned Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the thorax. This permits threedimensional quantitative analysis of intra-pulmonary deposition by a variety of techniques performed on a RISC workstation. Deposition of nebulised radio-aerosols (99mTc labelled human serum albumin) of 1.5μm MMAD (Optimist, Medic-Aid) and 6.5μm MMAD (Inspiran Bard) has been now been assessed in 12 subjects. All subjects were non-smokers and with no evidence of small airways disease. The aerosols were inhaled at tidal volume in a controlled manner in the erect, seated position. Using a shell analysis (Conway and Holgate 1994) the pattern of deposition for the total mass per shell and for surface density per shell was assessed.

It was found that as the humidity was increased from 3% to 95%, the mass median diameter of the aerosol increased by 14% while the concentration of the nebulizer solution at the end of the nebulization period decreased by 19%. Calculations using the procedure of Stapleton, Finlay, and Zuberbuhler (J.

Calculation of the average weight, the coefficient of variation of the dosing-sequences are often used to indicate the (in)accuracy of the system. These parameters supply no information with respect to the cause of the inaccuracy. No statistical methods are in use to locate the cause of the inaccuracy. Two techniques, spectral analysis and ARIMA-modelling were used to determine the characteristics of the sequences of two (model) dry powder inhalers. Spectral analysis detects periodic behaviour in sequences, while ARIMA unravels the way a dose interacts with the next one. It was shown that the sequence of the first inhaler is a moving average process, indicating sticking powder in the dosing mechanism itself. The second inhaler showed negative autocorrelation, indicating insufficient supply of powder to the dosing mechanism.

The drug formulation was labelled with the radionuclide 99Tm, and in vitro validation experiments performed with an Andersen Cascade Impactor demonstrated that the radiolabel would act as a marker of in vivo drug distribution. Eleven healthy volunteers took part in the study, inhaling through the device at a mean (SEM) flow rate of 31.2 (3.6) L-mhv1. The mean (SEM) whole lung deposition was 41.6 (1.7) % of the delivered dose, and 23.9 (1.4) % of the metered dose. The drug was distributed fairly evenly throughout the lungs with a mean ratio of peripheral/central deposition of 1.2. It was concluded that drug delivery from the Leiras dry powder inhaler was comparable or superior to that observed for other metered dose powder inhalers.","PeriodicalId":14879,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aerosol Medicine-deposition Clearance and Effects in The Lung","volume":"33 1","pages":"307-311"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87081442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
