Microspheres were prepared by double emulsion technique, using poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) as carrier. At higher medium temperature (45℃, 50℃ and 55℃), an accelerated release testing in short time was studied and correlated with the conventional release (37℃) in vitro. The release in vitro of thymopentin from PLGA microspheres at 45 ℃, 50℃ and 55℃ was significantly accelerated (P 〈 0.05). In particular, at 50℃, an accelerated release (30 h) of the hydrophilic peptide from the PLGA matrix was achieved and correlated well with the conventional release (30 d). An accelerated release testing in vitro at higher temperature could be used to monitor thymopentin release from PLGA microspheres.展开更多

METHODS: TCVs were cannulated in male Wistar rats anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital. One week later acute gastric lumen perfusion was carried out and gastric acid was continuously washed with 37℃ saline by a perfusion pump. Gastric perfusion samples were collected every 10 min and titrated by 0.01 moL/L NaOH to neutral. On the basis of subcutaneous (sc) injection of pentagastrin (G-5, 160 μg/kg), Oct (0.025 μg, 0.05 μg, 0.1 μg, n=12 in each group) or vehicle (pyrogen-free physiological saline, n = 10) was injected into the TCV, Before and after the TCV injection, 1 h total acid output (TAO) was determined and experimental data were expressed in change rate (%) of TAO. RESULTS: Oct (0.025, 0.05 and 0.1 μg) injected into the TCV resulted in change rate of 1.56% (P〉0.05), 20.21% (P〈 0.01) and 37.82% of TAO (P〈 0.001), respectively. Moreover, comparison in change rate of TAO among these 3 doses showed P〈 0.05 between 0.025μg and 0.05 μg, P〈 0.01 between 0.025 μg and 0.ling, and P〈 0.05 between 0.05μg and 0.1 μg. However, sc injection of 0.05 μg Oct had no effect on G-5 stimulated gastric acid secretion. CONCLUSION: Octreotide injected into the third cerebral ventricle inhibits gastrin-induced gastric acid secretion in a dose-dependent manner.展开更多

While animal experiments suggested a role for GIP as an inhibitor of gastric secretion, the GIP effects on gastric acid output in humans are still controversial. METHODS: Pentagastrin was administered at an infusion rate of 1 μg . kg^-1 . h^-1 over 300 min in 8 patients with type 2 diabetes (2 female, 6 male, 54± 10 years, BMI 30.5 ± 2.2 kg/m^2; no history of autonomic neuropathy) and 8 healthy subjects (2/6, 46 ± 6 years., 28.9 ± 5.3 kg/ m^2). A hyperglycaemic clamp (140 mg/dl) was performed over 240 min. Placebo, GIP at a physiological dose (1 pmol . kg^-1 . min^-1), and GIP at a pharmacological dose (4 mol . kg^-1 . min^-1) were administered over 60 min each. Boluses of placebo, 20 pmol GIP/kg, and 80 pmol GIP/kg were injected intravenously at the beginning of each infusion period, respectively. Gastric volume, acid and chloride output were analysed in 15-min intervals. Capillary and venous blood samples were drawn for the determination of glucose and total GIP. Statistics were carried out by repeated-measures ANOVA and one-way ANOVA. RESULTS: Plasma glucose concentrations during the hyperglycaemic clamp experiments were not different between patients with type 2 diabetes and controls. Steady-state GIP plasma levels were 61 ±8 and 79 ± 12 pmol/I during the low-dose and 327±35 and 327± 17 pmol/I during the high-dose infusion of GIP, in healthy control subjects and in patients with type 2 diabetes, respectively (P= 0.23 and p 0.99). Pentagastrin markedly increased gastric acid and chloride secretion (P〈 0.001). There were no significant differences in the rates of gastric acid or chloride output between the experimental periods with placebo or any dose of GIP. The temporal patterns of gastric acid and chloride secretion were similar in patients with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls (P= 0.86 and P= 0.61, respectively). CONCLUSION: Pentagastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion is similar in patients with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls. GIP administration does not influence gastric acid secretion at physiological or pharmacological plasma levels. Therefore, GIP appears to act as an incretin rather than as an enterogastrone in human physiology.展开更多

The other findings are either variable or non specific. Serum intrinsic factor antibodies, considered as specific in general practice, are present only in half of the patients with pernicious anemia. In their absence, since the disappearance of the Schilling tests, the gastric tubage currently used for the study of gastric acid secretion, is obligatory for the simultaneous study of intrinsic factor output. This study is important to eliminate another disease much more frequent than pernicious anemia, the protein bound to cobalamin malabsorption was observed in achlorhydric simple atrophic gastritis in the presence of intrinsic factor secretion.展开更多
