Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Chitosan membranes in artificial kidney-dialysis membranes, artificial skin, oral-membranes ulcers, periodontal guided tissue regeneration membranes, controlled-release drug delivery and other film-related tissue engineering have made gratifying achievements.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the preparation of chitosan membranes and the current application for local drug delivery.
METHODS: A computer online search was performed to find papers published between 1980 and 2011 in databases of CNKI and Duxiu academic search. Documents concerning the reviews and experimental studies about the preparation of chitosan membranes used in drug delivery carrier were reviewed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A total of 22 literatures were included in this study. Preparation condition of chitosan membranes is closely related with their application in drug delivery as carrier, but the summary specification and its relevance is not yet clear, still looking forward to a lot of research. Preparation conditions of chitosan membrane used in drug delivery still need further research to explore the suitable condition to prepare chitosan membranes as optimized drug delivery carriers, which is the focus of researchers.
