Abstract
The high rate of HIV new infections and AIDS-related deaths each year make prevention tools still necessary today. Different dosage forms - including films - for vaginal administration of antiretroviral drugs have been developed for this purpose. Six batches of Tenofovir-loaded films were formulated based on Eudragit® L100 (EL100) and chitosan, containing triethyl citrate and glycerol. In all the cases films structured in two layers - the upper layer mainly attributed to EL100 and the lower layer to chitosan - were revealed by SEM. A higher content in EL100 and plasticizers improves the mechanical properties and control over drug release in the vaginal medium without affecting mucoadhesion. The EL100-based layer acts as a structuring agent that controls Tenofovir release for days in the vaginal medium while it occurs in a few hours in the presence of seminal fluid. Bilayer films with the highest tested content of EL100 and plasticizers would be the most suitable as vaginal microbicides as they are easier to administer due to their excellent mechanical properties and they offer more comfortable posology and enhanced protection against HIV during intercourse due to their pH-responsive release of Tenofovir.

Abstract
Sports-related concussions are particularly common during adolescence, and there is insufficient knowledge about how recurrent concussions in this phase of life alter the metabolism of essential structures for memory in adulthood. In this sense, our experimental data revealed that seven recurrent concussions (RC) in 35-day-old rats decreased short-term and long-term memory in the object recognition test (ORT) 30 days after injury. The RC protocol did not alter motor and anxious behavior and the immunoreactivity of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the cerebral cortex. Recurrent concussions induced the inflammatory/oxidative stress characterized here by increased glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), interleukin 1β (IL 1β), 4-hydroxynonenal (4 HNE), protein carbonyl immunoreactivity, and 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate oxidation (DCFH) levels and lower total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Inhibited Na+,K+-ATPase activity (specifically isoform α2/3) followed by Km (Michaelis-Menten constant) for increased ATP levels and decreased immunodetection of alpha subunit of this enzyme, suggesting that cognitive impairment after RC is caused by the inability of surviving neurons to maintain ionic gradients in selected targets to inflammatory/oxidative damage, such as Na,K-ATPase activity.

Abstract
The interactions between a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oxyphenbutazone (OPB), with two cyclodextrins, beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD), have been studied in an aqueous medium and in the solid state. Differential scanning calorimetry, hot stage microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) powder have been the techniques used to characterize the interactions in the solid state. Although OPB forms inclusion compounds with beta- and gamma-CD in the aqueous medium, only the OPB/gamma-CD inclusion compound was obtained in the solid state by the kneading method. The XRD powder used at different temperatures has proven be a useful tool in characterizing the behaviour of these binary systems.

Abstract
Tolbutamide-hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrin (TBM-HPGCD) interaction has been investigated in an aqueous environment and in the solid state. The solubility of TBM was increased in accord with the amount of HPGCD added to the aqueous medium forming a soluble inclusion compound. The phase solubility diagram obtained was of A(L) type. Physical mixtures and kneaded systems of the drug and cyclodextrin derivative were prepared in 1:1 and 1:2 drug/cyclodextrin mol/mol ratio. All solid binary systems were characterised by hot-stage microscopy (HSM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG) and X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD). An inclusion complex was formed in both of the kneaded systems. In the 1:2 kneaded system, the entire drug was included in the cyclodextrin cavity, while, in the 1:1 kneaded system only a part of the drug formed an inclusion complex with the cyclodextrin. A significant improvement in the dissolution of the drug was obtained from the kneaded systems in comparison with that of the pure TBM and physical mixtures. However, there was no significant difference between the dissolution profiles of the two kneaded systems. The study suggests that an inclusion complex was obtained both in aqueous solution and in solid state.

Abstract
We present a case of a sixty-nine-year-old male admitted to the hospital because of an acute respiratory failure that needed intubation and mechanical ventilation. Shortly after several attempts of right and left (the last one successful) subclavian vein cannulation (the last one successful) he developed a bilateral tension pneumothorax with important hemodynamic repercussion, a critical hypoxia and an ST elevation in inferior leads. Other more typical electrocardiographic changes could be observed: decrease in QRS amplitude and diminishing of precordial R voltage. After removing the air of the right pleural space, all the electrocardiographic signs disappeared returning to normal without electric or enzymatic assay of myocardial necrosis.

Abstract
The possible competitive displacement of a drug from its cyclodextrin-based inclusion complex by a third substance was investigated by studying the dissolution behaviour of tolbutamide-beta-cyclodextrin inclusion complex in demineralised water and in aqueous solution of different surfactants. Physical mixtures and kneaded systems were prepared in 1:1 and 1:2 drug-beta-cyclodextrin mol/mol ratios and they were characterised by hot-stage microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray powder diffractometry. The release behaviour of tolbutamide from its inclusion complex was studied by studying the dissolution of the binary systems in water and in aqueous solutions of three surfactants: polysorbate 20, poloxyl 23-lauryl ether, and sodium lauryl sulphate. When demineralised water was used as the dissolution media, the fastest dissolution of tolbutamide was obtained from 1:2 kneaded system followed by 1:1 kneaded system. The presence of poloxyl 23-lauryl ether and sodium lauryl sulphate in the media caused a decrement in the rate and extent of dissolution of the drug from both kneaded systems in comparison with that obtained from the same systems in water. However, the release of tolbutamide from the kneaded systems remains unaffected when polysorbate 20 was present in the dissolution media. Results of this study suggest that the simultaneous presence of beta-cyclodextrin and surfactants of proper molecular structure in a pharmaceutical formulation can give rise to an unexpected dissolution of the drug.

Abstract
Griseofulvin/cyclodextrin interactions were investigated in aqueous environment and in solid state. Two cyclodextrin derivatives (beta-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin) were used to prepare different physical mixtures and kneaded systems, and the drug/cyclodextrin ratios were 1:1 and 1:2 mol/mol. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), hot-stage microscopy (HSM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG), and X-ray powder diffractometry were employed to characterize pure substances and their kneaded counterparts and all of the binary systems. The solubility of griseofulvin was increased in accord with the quantity of cyclodextrin added. HSM examination revealed that 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin was dissolved in the droplets of melted griseofulvin, but did not show any interactions between melted griseofulvin and beta-cyclodextrin particles. The presence of griseofulvin endothermic peak in the DSC curves of all binary systems suggests the absence of any griseofulvin/cylcodextrin inclusion compound in the solid state. In TG, data of weight loss owing to the dehydration of cyclodextrins was similar for both kneaded systems and physical mixtures. X-ray diffraction patterns exhibited the amorphous nature of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin and the crystalline nature of griseofulvin and binary systems. Griseofulvin dissolution profiles from all binary systems showed an improvement in drug dissolution, which indicates that an "in situ" drug/cyclodextrin inclusion compound was formed in the aqueous dissolution medium.

Abstract
Thennomicroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry were employed to characterize solid binary systems prepared with oxodipine and PEG 6000, 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin or mannitol. DSC curves did not allow to diferentiate physical mixtures from solid dispersions. Thennomicroscopy revealed the interactions that can be produced between drug and each carrier, due to heat contribution, when the physical mixtures were observed; also this thermal technique permited us to ascertain the composition of particles that constitute the solid dispersions. Dissolution studies showed that the amelioration obtained in oxodipine dissolution from physical mixtures was due to the dessagregant action of the carriers, which obtained an increase of the drug surface in contact with the dissolution medium. The proportions and carrier nature influence the oxodipine dissolution, fundamentally from solid dispersions, where the interaction drug/carrier is stronger than in physical mixtures.
