The purposes of the review are to: a) Provide a comprehensible introduction of the-state-of-the-art sciences of solubility and dissolution, b) introduce typical technologies to assess solubility and dissolution, and c) propose the best practice strategy. The theories of solubility and dissolution required in drug discovery were reviewed especially from the view point of oral absorption. The physiological conditions in the gastrointestinal fluid in humans and animals were then briefly summarized. Technologies to assess solubility and dissolution in drug discovery were then introduced. Recently, these technologies have been improved by the laboratory automation and computational technologies. Finally, the strategies to apply these technologies for a drug discovery project were discussed.
The operative mortality of patients with acute DeBakey type I aortic dissection treated by total arch replacement was acceptable with good long-term survival after both total arch replacement and non-total arch replacement. The frequency of distal aortic events might be reduced in patients after total arch replacement compared with non-total arch replacement.
Our current approach for total aortic arch replacement is associated with low hospital mortality and morbidity, thus leading to a favorable long-term outcome.
Our current approach for total aortic arch replacement was associated with low hospital mortality and morbidities and with favorable long-term outcome.
Although age 80 years or older was the risk factor for hospital mortality in operation for acute type A aortic dissection, the long-term survival of the hospital survivors and the level of activity of daily life were acceptable. Aggressive surgical treatment could be a reasonable option for selected elderly patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
