Abstract

AIM: To establish an efficient method for preparation of solid lipid nanoparticles with high recovery. METHODS: Monostearin solid lipid nanoparticles was prepared by solvent diffusion method in aqueous system. The recovery of the method was greatly improved by adjusting the Zeta potential. RESULTS: The drug-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles suspension was quickly produced and easily separated with centrifugation at 4,000 r.min-1 under acidic condition. Compared with the nanoparticles made without adjusting the Zeta potential, the recovery of nanoparticles prepared in this way was significantly increased. The release behavior in vitro showed an initial burst effect in the first 3 hours followed by a slower rate stage of 4 days with nearly 6% drug released in each day. CONCLUSION: The solvent diffusion method in aqueous system might be used as a new method to prepare solid lipid nanoparticles in the future. The loaded drug can be released in a controlled manner.

Fatal disseminated cytomegalovirus infection in an infant with Cushing's syndrome caused by topical steroid.

Corticosteroids, even in topical application, may cause immunosuppression and Cushing's syndrome. A case of disseminated fatal cytomegalovirus infection is reported in a 3-month-old girl with Cushing's syndrome caused by exogenous topical clobetasol propionate application, which might have caused immunosuppression due to prolonged use.

Acrokeratoelastoidosis.

A 45-year-old white woman presented with several years' history of firm, shiny papules on the lateral hands with slight extension to the dorsal fingers. The lesions first appeared between the index fingers and thumbs on both hands. They gradually increased in number, coalescing into plaques and affecting the junction between the palmar and dorsal skin. The patient did not have involvement of her feet. She had been diagnosed previously with chronic eczema that had failed to respond to multiple topical medications. In addition, the patient's sister had similar lesions on both hands. The patient denied any symptoms of hyperhidrosis, excessive sun exposure, or trauma. The plaques were asymptomatic, but were cosmetically unappealing to the patient. On physical examination, small, firm, skin-colored, hyperkeratotic papules, coalescing into plaques, were located on the junction between the palmar and dorsal skin on both lateral margins of the thumb and on the radial side of the index finger (Fig. 1). There were no lesions on the feet. A biopsy taken from a papule on the patient's left hand was consistent histologically with acrokeratoelastoidosis. The biopsy showed marked degeneration of collagen in the dermis with solar elastosis and some smudging of the papillary dermal collagen (Fig. 2). She was treated with clobetasone cream to the affected areas on the hands. After 6 weeks of treatment, she reported no significant improvement.
