Abstract:

The present study concerns the resistance to motion of syringe plunger against syringe barrel during intragastrical administration of silver preparations into mice models of gastrointestinal diseases. The mathematical model of drug flow in the syringe barrel-hub-needle assembly was elaborated and presented. The effect of geometrical parameters of the mentioned assembly affecting the resistance to motion was profoundly investigated. The resistance to motion during administration of silver preparation depended mainly on the needle hole diameters and hub hole. The form of silver preparation and length of needle only slightly affected the resistance to motion. The important role of albumin in prevention of Ag nanoparticles agglomeration was found.
