1. Visualization of Stratum Corneum and Transdermal Permeation Pathways

p 12 , Introduction – SC stratum corneum – เป็น skin’s impermeability
SC only permeable- small ,lipophilic molecule
trasndermal drug delivery (TDD) ต้อง enhance tech – chemical penetration enhancers , iontophoresis , sonophoresis -> เพื่อ controllably, reversible , safely , reduce resistanc of skin
p 13 , (a) – microscopic tech visualized transport pathway across skin
(b) mechanistic deduction , finding
II. Bg – Visualization Technique
A.Ligth Microscopy
– ขยาย object 1000 times ดู 0.1mm- 0.2 μm
ตารางปท visualized vs tech ,ช่วยด้วย histochem , fluorescence , autoradiographic method
light microscope – เห็น substructure of tiss and dynamic process within cell

p 15 , B. Electron Microscopy – ทำตั้งแต่ 1930 , เพิ่มอีก 1000 times of light microscope
ใช้ shorter wavelength of electron
ดู ultrastructure of tiss , cell
มี 2 อันคือ ❂TEM – transmission electron microscope = ผ่าน ultrathin , 50nm sample , produce 2-D image
brightness of each region
❂scanning electron microscope(SEM) – narrow beam 2-3nm of electron on surface of sample
สร้าง secondary electron ,detect by sensor
เกิด 3D
special tech ass electron c light microscope – เพื่อ enhance , expand study of skin
autoradiography ,radioactive isotope – tiss sample collect various time fix ,section
photographic emulsion – มักใช้ silver bromide

! p 18 III Visualization and Identification of transdermal transport pathways
A passive diffusion across stratum corneum , viable epidermis
Light microscope – histochemical study of skin ศึกษาตั้งแต่ 1940-1950 – ดู pathway penetration of fat in vivo human/rat
topically applied – olive oil ,cod liver oil , petralatum , ตามด้วย addition various dyes
fat penetrate – along inside of hairshaft -> into sebaceous gl
no penetrating ผ่านทาง SC
Witten ใช้ radioactive mercury, in vivo 48hr ดู localized mercury surface of skin within viable epidermis and hair follicle
advance autoradiography light micro -> improve/แต่ยัง limit ในการดู permeabtion pathways across SC
เห็น visualized generalized distribute radioactive material in skin
