目的:建立一种APA微囊的膜厚度以及表面结构的检测方法,并测定微囊在湿状态的膜厚度和干燥后的膜表面结构。方法:采用亚甲蓝染色、冰冻切片结合光学显微镜观察微囊的膜厚度,并将囊膜在37℃孵育30d后再次观察厚度的变化;对微囊进行冷冻干燥和冷场发射观察囊膜表面和断面结构。结果:APA—Ca和APA—Ba微囊的囊膜厚度并不均匀,孵育1个月后囊膜厚度变化差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05);冷场发射扫描电镜下显示,两种微囊表面均光滑、致密;冻干后APA—Ca囊膜厚度达450~690nm,而APA-Ba的囊膜厚度约为350nm。结论:建立了一种简单、可靠的微囊膜厚度和表面检测方法,为进一步研究APA微囊的质量奠定了基础。
Objective: To explore a visual methold of the membrane thickness of APA microcapsules andtheir surface structures, and determinate the film thickness and surface characteristics. Methods: We use methylene blue to dye the film of microcapsules, then within frozen section and optical microscope the the thickness ofmicrocapsule were observed; and the thickness of microcapsules hatched in 37 ℃ for a month were also assayed. The surface of membrane were studied by ice emission scanning electron microscopy after lyophilization. Results:The member thickness of each APA microencapsules is not uniform. After incubated for 30 d in 37 ℃, there is no obviously difference in the thichness than befor (P〉0.05). Surfaces of two microencapsules are smooth andcompact under the scanning electron microscopy. The thickness of APA-Ca microcapsules are 450-690 nm, which of APA-Ba are about 350 nm. Conclusion: The essay provided a simple method on how to determine themembrane thickness and surface, which would be an important reference to expound the APA microcapsules.
