Article Abstract
This paper proposes a novel and efficient centrifugal microfluidic technology to prepare risperidone-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres (RIS-MS). The effects of key parameters, including PLGA concentration and type, microchannel inner diameter and centrifugal speed on particle size, morphology and drug release were evaluated and optimized. The in vivo pharmacokinetic study of RIS-MS was conducted in rabbits. The results demonstrated that RIS-MS could be produced from microchannels with inner diameters of 170-210 μm at a centrifugal speed of 400 revolutions per minute (rpm) when the PLGA content is 15 % or higher. The mean plasma concentration of RIS-MS was more stable and C of RIS-MS was significantly lower than that of the suspension group, and the RIS-MS could maintain the release of RIS in rabbits for up to 42 days. This study provided pioneering ideas for developing microspheres using centrifugal microfluidic technology. The optimized RIS-MS can make excellent sustained release and have the potential for the long-acting therapy of schizophrenia.

Sepsis is a time-critical condition causing over 13 million deaths annually, with each hour of treatment delay in patients with septic shock increasing mortality by 8%. Rapid pathogen identification is crucial, yet current workflows depend on multiple culture steps that delay pathogen identification and targeted treatment by days. A plug-and-play, fully automated centrifuge tube is presented that isolates and concentrates bacteria directly from blood or blood culture using only conventional lab centrifuges.

Microneedles represent an emerging transdermal drug delivery platform offering painless, minimally invasive penetration of the stratum corneum. This study addresses limitations of conventional lidocaine hydrochloride formulations, such as slow onset and poor patient compliance, by developing lidocaine hydrochloride-loaded dissolvable microneedles (LH-DMNs) for rapid local anesthesia. LH-DMNs were fabricated via centrifugal casting using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the matrix material in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) negative molds, which imparts high mechanical strength to the microneedles.
