Patients’ genetic characteristics, age, gender, diet, and lifestyle affect the success of medical treatment. The treatment’s effectiveness can be increased by using personalized medication; however, using conventional large-scale drug production methods can restrict tablet geometry and drug dosage combinations. To create these personalized drugs, 3D printing has been studied as an alternative production method. In this study, stereolithography 3D printing is used to create custom tablet geometries using a novel biocompatible photochemistry consisting of ascorbic acid (AA) encapsulated in a poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA)-based polymer network and polymerized using riboflavin as a photoinitiator. The printing process is customized for the chemistry and different geometries (small and large tablet, coaxial annulus, 4-circle pattern and honeycomb pattern) with surface area to volume ratios ranging from 0.6 to 1.83 are fabricated. The tablets’ microstructures are examined and the cumulative release rates in gastrointestinal conditions are analyzed periodically for 6 h. After 1 h of release, honeycomb and coaxial annulus tablet gels exhibit higher release rates at approximately 80%. The experimental data is fitted to empirical release kinetic models and the Higuchi model is shown to yield the best fitting results. Overall, by using a novel biocompatible photochemistry and 3D printing we have shown that it is possible to successfully load and release ascorbic acid as a model agent, opening up a new class of manufacturing protocols to encapsulate ascorbic acid and other water-soluble vitamins as well as many different drugs for drug delivery applications.

Doxorubicin loading, release, and stability of polyamidoamine dendrimer-coated magnetic nanoparticles Rouhollah, Khodadust; Pelin, Mutlu; Serap, Yalcin; Gozde, Unsoy; Ufuk, Gunduz (Elsevier BV, 2013-06-01) Nanotechnology is a promising alternative to overcome the limitations of classical chemotherapy. As a novel approach, dendrimer-coated magnetic nanoparticles (DcMNPs) maintain suitable drug delivery system because of their buildup of functional groups, symmetry perfection, nanosize, and internal cavities. They can also be targeted to the tumor site in a magnetic field. The aim of this study is to obtain an effective targeted delivery system for doxorubicin, using polyamidoamine (PAMAM) DcMNPs. Different gen...
Differential response to doxorubicin in breast cancer subtypes simulated by a microfluidic tumor model Özçelikkale, Altuğ; Noe-Kim, Victoria; Elzey, Bennett D.; Dong, Zizheng; Zhang, Jian-Ting; Kim, Kwangmeyung; Kwon, Ick Chan; Park, Kinam; Han, Bumsoo (Elsevier BV, 2017-11-01) Successful drug delivery and overcoming drug resistance are the primary clinical challenges for management and treatment of cancer. The ability to rapidly screen drugs and delivery systems within physiologically relevant environments is critically important; yet is currently limited due to lack of appropriate tumor models. To address this problem, we developed the Tumor-microenvironment-on-chip (T-MOC), a new microfluidic tumor model simulating the interstitial flow, plasma clearance, and transport of the d...
Prospective evaluation of Vitamin K2, Raloxifene and their co-administration in osteoporotic rats Tasci, A. G.; BİLGİLİ, HASAN; Altunay, H.; Gecit, M. R.; Keskin, Dilek (Elsevier BV, 2011-07-17) In this study, therapeutic effects of Vitamin K2, Raloxifene and their co-administration on bone, uterus, blood and weight profiles were investigated with an ovariectomized rat model. Forty Wistar rats were divided into five groups (n = 8): Raloxifene (R), Vitamin K2 (K), Raloxifene + Vitamin K2 (R + K), ovariectomized controls (OVX) and Sham-operated controls (Sham). Treatment began 3 months after ovariectomy. Vitamin K2 and Raloxifene were administered 30 and 1.5 mg/kg/day separately and in combination fi...
EFFECTS OF MICROFLUIDIZED DIETARY FIBERS ON STABILITY PROPERTIES OF EMULSIONS Ketenoglu, Onur; Mert, Behiç; Tekin, Aziz (Wiley, 2014-08-01) This study aims to determine the stability improving effects of size-reduced dietary fibers in food emulsions. Orange zest fiber and corn fiber were microfluidized under high pressure (up to 15,000 psi). Model emulsions were prepared by adding 1, 2 and 3% of the fibers into the mixture of 3% whey protein isolate and 20 and 50% oil. These mixtures were homogenized through both colloid mill and microfluidizer to form model emulsions. Rheological properties such as flow and oscillation were measured with frequ...
Dual-adjuvant effect of pH-sensitive liposomes loaded with STING and TLR9 agonists regress tumor development by enhancing Th1 immune response Kocabas, Banu Bayyurt; Almacioglu, Kubra; Bulut, Esin Alpdundar; Gucluler, Gozde; Tincer, Gizem; Bayik, Defne; Gürsel, Mayda; GÜRSEL, İHSAN (Elsevier BV, 2020-12-01) Nucleic acid-based pattern recognition receptor agonists are effective adjuvants and immunotherapeutic agents. Rather than single applications, ligand combinations could synergistically potentiate immune responses by elevating cytokine and chemokine production via triggering multiple signaling pathways. However, short half-lives of such labile ligands due to nuclease attack and limited cellular uptake due to their structure significantly hamper their in vivo performances. More importantly, simultaneous deli...
