    Kurzfassung: Purpose: Ranibizumab is a monoclonal antibody fragment, targeting all isoforms of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), a protein involved in angiogenesis. It is used to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal vein occlusion (RVO), and diabetic macular edema (DME), which are associated with blindness worldwide. However, proper treatment can decrease the loss of vision in about 90% of patients. Because of poor drug uptake in topical therapy and several adverse side effects of systemic irregularities and intravitreal injections, sustained-release drug delivery systems are more suitable for treatment. However, there are many challenges in the development of these systems due to the loss of protein activities. Methods: After drug complexation by the ion pairing method and preparation of a polymeric implant, containing the drug, the characteristics of the complexes were examined by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The stability of antibody activity and biocompatibility of the released drug from the implant were assessed by bioassays and MTT assay, respectively. Finally, the release kinetics were investigated. Results: The bioassays showed the higher activity of the drug complex, compared to the free form, besides good biocompatibility in vitro. Also, the release data confirmed sustained and controlled release characteristics for the prepared implant. Conclusion: In this study, for the first time, we proposed a method for developing a sustained-release intraocular implant, consisting of ranibizumab by the heating method. This method allows for the industrial production of ranibizumab by extrusion and eliminates the complications related to reservoir systems.

    Kurzfassung: Purpose: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disorder distinguished by tissue injury and inflammation of the pancreas. Using paracrine potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) provides a useful clinical approach in treating inflammatory diseases. We investigated the therapeutic effects of adipose-derived MSC conditioned medium (CM) and hypoxia preconditioned adipose-derived MSC conditioned medium (HCM) in cerulein-induced AP in mice. Methods: AP was induced in C57BL/6 mice by intraperitoneal injection of cerulein (75 μg/ kg/h × 7 times). One hour following the last injection of cerulein, mice were treated with intraperitoneal injection of CM and HCM (500 µL/mice/30 min × 3 times). Twelve hours following the treatment, serum levels of amylase and lipase were measured. In addition, pancreas pathological changes, immunohistochemical examinations for evaluation of IL-6 expression and pancreatic myeloperoxidase (MPO) enzyme activity were analyzed. Results: The in vitro results of the morphological, differentiation and immunophenotyping analyses confirmed that hypoxia preconditioned MSCs (HP-MSCs) conserve MSCs characteristics after preconditioning. However, HP-MSCs significantly expressed high mRNA level of hypoxia inducible factor 1-α and higher level of total protein. The in vivo findings of the current study showed that CM and HCM significantly reduced the amylase & lipase activity, the severity of pancreas tissue injury and the expression of IL-6 and MPO enzyme activity compared with the AP group. However, no significant difference between CM and HCM groups was demonstrated. Conclusion: Use of CM and HCM can attenuate cerulein-induced AP and decrease inflammation in the pancreas tissue in AP mice.
