Abstract
The application of three-dimensional printing (3DP) in the pharmaceutical industry brings a broad spectrum of benefits to patients by addressing individual needs and improve treatment success. This study investigates the sustained release properties of 3DP tablets containing Theophylline (TPH), which is commonly used to treat respiratory diseases and recently having a comeback due to its potential in the treatment of conditions like Covid-19. Since TPH is a narrow therapeutic window (NTW) drug with serious side effects in the event of overdose, the release properties must be observed particularly closely. We employed a state-of-the-art single screw extrusion 3D printer, which is fed with granules containing the drug. By employing a Taguchi orthogonal array design of experiments (DOE), tablet design parameters and factor related process stability were sought to be evaluated fundamentally. Following this, examinations regarding tailored TPH dosages were undertaken and a relationship between the real printed dose of selected tablet designs and their sustained drug release was established. The release profiles were analyzed using different mathematical model fits and compared in terms of mean dissolution times (MDT). Finally, in-vivo/in-vitro correlation (IVIVC) and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling showed that a paradigm patient group could be covered with the dosage forms produced.

Abstract
AIM Computer-aided drug design (CADD) is a drug design technique for computing ligand-receptor interactions and is involved in various stages of drug development. To better grasp the frontiers and hotspots of CADD, we conducted a review analysis through bibliometrics. METHODS A systematic review of studies published between 2000 and 20 July 2023 was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Literature on CADD was selected from the Web of Science Core Collection. General information, publications, output trends, countries/regions, institutions, journals, keywords, and influential authors were visually analyzed using software such as Excel, VOSviewer, RStudio, and CiteSpace. RESULTS A total of 2031 publications were included. These publications primarily originated from 99 countries or regions led by the U.S. and China. Among the contributors, MacKerell AD had the highest number of articles and the greatest influence. The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry was the most cited journal, whereas the Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling had the highest number of publications. CONCLUSIONS Influential authors in the field were identified. Current research shows active collaboration between countries, institutions, and companies. CADD technologies such as homology modeling, pharmacophore modeling, quantitative conformational relationships, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation, binding free energy prediction, and high-throughput virtual screening can effectively improve the efficiency of new drug discovery. Artificial intelligence-assisted drug design and screening based on CADD represent key topics that will influence future development. Furthermore, this paper will be helpful in better understanding the frontiers and hotspots of CADD.

Abstract
Aims We use CTA and magnetic resonance data to use digital three-dimensional reconstruction and 3D printing technology to reproduce the solid replication of the uterus and surrounding tissues in vitro, fully evaluate the adjacency of tumor tissues with surrounding important organs, blood vessels, and lymph nodes, and reduce the impact. The normal organ structure and function of the surgeon can shorten the operation time, reduce the bleeding during the operation, and reduce the perioperative complications of the patient to improve the prognosis of the patient. Materials and Methods Select 40 EC patients and divide them into group A (3D reconstruction data is transmitted to 3D printing equipment according to the results of CTA and MRI examination, and a 3D model is printed out according to the ratio of 1 : 1 for evaluation and judgment before surgery) and group B (according to MRI imaging examination, there were 20 cases each). Different surgical conditions, quality of life, adverse reactions, and clinical efficacy were evaluated in each group. Results The operation time, the time of the first anus exhaust, the hospitalization time after the operation, and the blood loss of the operation in group A were significantly lower than those in group B. Statistics showed that the difference was significant (P < 0.05). The quality of life scores of emotion, cognition, society, and overall health of group A were significantly higher than those of group B, while physical score, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and pain were lower than those of group B, which were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Both groups of patients had complications after the operation, and they were asked to be followed up at the outpatient clinic 3 months after the operation. All patients recovered well. There were 19 and 18 patients in groups A and B, respectively, complaining of improvement in clinical symptoms, and the difference was not statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion With the support of digital three-dimensional reconstruction and 3D printing technology, complex operations can be accurately performed, improving the efficacy and safety of patients after EC surgery, improving patient outcomes and quality of life, improving EC positioning accuracy, and reducing tumor residue.

Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14071437.

Abstract
3D-printing technology can be used to construct personalized bone substitutes with customized shapes, but it cannot regulate the topological morphology of the scaffold surface, which plays a vital role in regulating the biological behaviors of stem cells. In addition, stem cells are able to sense the topographical and mechanical cues of surface of scaffolds by mechanosensing and mechanotransduction. In our study, we fabricated a 3D-printed poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffold with a nanotopographical surface and loaded it with urine-derived stem cells (USCs) for application of bone regeneration. The topological 3D-printed PCL scaffolds (TPS) fabricated by surface epiphytic crystallization, possessed uniformly patterned nanoridges, of which the element composition and functional groups of nanoridges were the same as PCL. Compared with bare 3D-printed PCL scaffolds (BPS), TPS have a higher ability for protein adsorption and mineralization in vitro. The proliferation, cell length, and osteogenic gene expression of USCs on the surface of TPS were significantly higher than that of BPS. In addition, the TPS loaded with USCs exhibited a good ability for bone regeneration in cranial bone defects. Our study demonstrated that nanotopographical 3D-printed scaffolds loaded with USCs are a safe and effective therapeutic strategy for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The pharmaceutical industry has been challenged by the increasing number of poorly soluble drug candidates, resulting in significant issues with obtaining sufficient absorption and bioavailability, risk of exposure variability, and difficulties in achieving a safe therapeutic index. Additionally, the rapid and precise dispensing of specific drug dosages is an important aspect that can enable personalized medicines for the patient. Herein, we report on the development of inkjet printing as a method for delivering precise quantities of poorly soluble drug molecules using commercially available equipment. Despite challenges due to low solubility making it difficult to prepare liquid solutions, stable suspensions of drug nanoparticles with the appropriate viscosity were successfully printed and dispensed onto a thin film suitable for delivery. The drug nanoparticles remained intact and could be reconstituted after printing, demonstrating that they remained stable and retained their advantageous particle size. This demonstrates that inkjet printing can be a practical and convenient approach for dispensing poorly soluble drug molecules when formulated as nanosuspensions.

Abstract
3D printing is a rapidly growing area of interest within pharmaceutical science thanks to its versatility in creating different dose form geometries and drug doses to enable the personalisation of medicines. Research in this area has been dominated by polymer-based materials; however, for poorly water-soluble lipophilic drugs, lipid formulations present advantages in improving bioavailability. This study progresses the area of 3D-printed solid lipid formulations by providing a 3D-printed dissolvable polymer scaffold to compartmentalise solid lipid formulations within a single dosage form. This allows the versatility of different drugs in different lipid formulations, loaded into different compartments to generate wide versatility in drug release, and specific control over release geometry to tune release rates. Application to a range of drug molecules was demonstrated by incorporating the model lipophilic drugs; halofantrine, lumefantrine and clofazimine into the multicompartmental scaffolded tablets. Fenofibrate was used as the model drug in the single compartment scaffolded tablets for comparison with previous studies. The formulation-laden scaffolds were characterised using X-ray CT and dispersion of the formulation was studied using nephelometry, while release of a range of poorly water-soluble drugs into different gastrointestinal media was studied using HPLC. The studies show that dispersion and drug release are predictably dependent on the exposed surface area-to-volume ratio (SA:V) and independent of the drug. At the extremes of SA:V studied here, within 20 min of dissolution time, formulations with an SA:V of 0.8 had dispersed to between 90 and 110%, and completely released the drug, where as an SA:V of 0 yielded 0% dispersion and drug release. Therefore, this study presents opportunities to develop new dose forms with advantages in a polypharmacy context.

Abstract
Non-oral long-acting drug delivery systems (LADDS) encompass a range of technologies for precisely delivering drug molecules into target tissues either through the systemic circulation or via localized injections for treating chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, and brain disorders as well as for age-related eye diseases. LADDS have been shown to prolong drug release from 24 h up to 3 years depending on characteristics of the drug and delivery system. LADDS can offer potentially safer, more effective, and patient friendly treatment options compared to more invasive modes of drug administration such as repeated injections or minor surgical intervention. Whilst there is no single technology or definition that can comprehensively embrace LADDS; for the purposes of this review, these systems include solid implants, inserts, transdermal patches, wafers and in situ forming delivery systems. This review covers common chronic illnesses, where candidate drugs have been incorporated into LADDS, examples of marketed long-acting pharmaceuticals, as well as newly emerging technologies, used in the fabrication of LADDS.

Abstract
Nowadays, the focus has been shifted to new technologies for improving drug solubility, permeability, and bioavailability, amid unprecedentedly increasing the number of newly discovered Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), which are mostly categorized under Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) as class-II and class IV. Traditional technologies and classical formulation strategies often fail to address most of the formulation problems associated with new APIs, particularly solubility and bioavailability. Therefore, exploring new and innovative technologies on an industrial scale is a prerequisite and requires modernization of manufacturing processes, as well as more advanced research and development. Liquisolid technology is a new, innovative industrial technology, particularly designed for either improving the release rates of poorly absorbed drugs or controlling their release pattern by achieving sustained-release profiles with zero-order release kinetics. Besides, it is a promising photoprotective system for photosensitive drugs and can further be used for modulating the drug microenvironmental pH. The next generation of liquisolid systems stems from a set of emerging technologies, such as liqui-pellet technology, which originates from combining liquisolid technology with pelletization technique, particularly extrusion-spheronization technique. This review article highlights the current state of liquisolid technology, ongoing challenges, characterization and applications, possible future prospects, the advent of new and emerging technologies, and the revolution of the next generation of liquisolid technology.

Abstract
Background The integration of 3D printing technology in hospitals is evolving toward production models such as point-of-care manufacturing. This study aims to present the results of the integration of 3D printing technology in a manufacturing university hospital. Methods Observational, descriptive, retrospective, and monocentric study of 907 instances of 3D printing from November 2015 to March 2020. Variables such as product type, utility, time, or manufacturing materials were analyzed. Results Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Gynecology and Obstetrics are the medical specialties that have manufactured the largest number of processes. Working and printing time, as well as the amount of printing material, is different for different types of products and input data. The most common printing material was polylactic acid, although biocompatible resin was introduced to produce surgical guides. In addition, the hospital has worked on the co-design of custom-made implants with manufacturing companies and has also participated in tissue bio-printing projects. Conclusions The integration of 3D printing in a university hospital allows identifying the conceptual evolution to “point-of-care manufacturing.”

Abstract
3D printing (I3D) is an additive manufacturing technology with a growing interest in medicine and especially in the specialty of orthopaedic surgery and traumatology. There are numerous applications that add value to the personalised treatment of patients: advanced preoperative planning, surgeries with specific tools for each patient, customised orthotic treatments, personalised implants or prostheses and innovative development in the field of bone and cartilage tissue engineering. This paper provides an update on the role that the orthopaedic surgeon and traumatologist plays as a user and prescriber of this technology and a review of the stages required for the correct integration of I3D into the hospital care flow, from the necessary resources to the current legal recommendations.
