Unlike stoichiometric bioscavengers such as butyrylcholinesterase, catalytic bioscavengers are cost effective with the advantage of eliminating all the OPs/CWNAs at low doses. Analysis of catalytic bioscavenger efficacy of PONI showed promising results by various group of researchers. Still, there are large numbers of grey areas which are not addressed so far. One of the major areas of interest is the pharmacokinetic analysis of infused PON 1 in multiple animal models. It is shown that previous studies in mice significantly increased half-life of PONI, while recent studies in guinea pigs from our group showed reduced half-life of PON1. Similar results were reported by other research groups in guinea pigs and non-human primates. The short half-life of exogenously administered PON1 in multiple animal models may be due to poor association of PON1 with its endogenous carrier, high density lipoprotein or lower doses of PON 1 or a reflection of species difference. These observations warrant the significance of thorough pharmacokinetic analysis of infused PON 1 and the development of alternative approaches for successful utility of PON 1 as an efficient medical countermeasure against OP/CWNA toxicity.展开更多

Methods: Sixty patients were included. Twenty nine cases received CTD (thalidomide 100-200 rag/d; cyclophosphamide 200-300 mg/m2od, 1-4 days, every 4 weeks; and dexamethasone 20-40 rag/d, 1-4 days, every 4 weeks); Thirty cases received VAD (vincristine 0.4 mg/d, 1-4 days, every 4 weeks; adriamycin 10 mg/d, 1-4 days, every 4 weeks; dexamethasone 40 rag/d, 1-4 days, every 4 weeks). Radionuclide bone imagings were performed in all patients before chemotherapy, six months, twelve months and eighteen months after chemotherapy. The correlation of chemothera- peutic effects between CTD and VAD were analyzed. Results: One hundred and seventy nine bone lesions were visualized by bone scintigraphy before CTD treatment. Eighteen months after CTD chemotherapy, it was observed by bone scintigraphy that 39/179 (21.78%) lesions disappeared, 112/179 (62.57%) improved, and 281179 (15.64%) had no change. One hundred and ninety one bone lesions were showed by bone imaging before VAD treatment, 361191 (18.84%) lesions disappeared, eighteen months after chemotherapy, 103/191 (53.92%) improved, and 52/191 (27.22%) had no change. The significant dif- ference was observed in locations of MM induced bone lesions treated with CTD (H = 8.23, P 〈 0.05) and VAD (H = 11.18, P 〈 0.05). A significant chemotherapeutic sensitivity in detecting MM induced lesions in ribs was found compared with other bone lesions. The chemotherapeutic effect of CTD was statistically significant than that of VAD (U = 2.17, P 〈 0.05). Conclusion: Radionuclide whole-body bone imaging has great value in monitoring chemotherapeutic effects for MM.展开更多

Potency of ethanol and ethyl acetate extract from brown seaweed (Sargassum duplicatum Bory) against indomethacin induced jejunum damage was evaluated in Rattus norvegicus. Control rats induced by corn oil orally. IBD rats induced by indomethacin of 15 mg/kg body weight (bw) orally and incubated for 7 days. Therapy rats were treated orally by brown seaweed extract of 100 mg/kg bw respectively for seven days. Based on phytochemistry test, Sargassum duplicatum Bory extract contains flavonoids, phlorotanin, and alkaloid. The result of preparative Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Infra Red (IR) spectrum of extract spots showed the same result (function group similarity) with gallic acid standard as polyphenol. Sargassum duplicatum Bory extract decreased Malondialdehid (MDA) level (54.20%) significantly using Thiobarbituric Acid (TBA) assay, repaired ZO-1 and occludin protein expressions by immunohistochemistry and repaired jejunum damage by histological observation.展开更多

METHODS The PSMA gene was inserted into a mammalian expression vector, PVAX-1, to construct the DNA vaccine candidate, and was then used to vaccinate C57BL/6 mice. Animals vaccinated with PVAX-1 and NaC1 were used as controls. Anti-PSMA antibody was detected in sera of the animals. The proliferation and cytotoxicity of the spleen cells were observed. The immunized mice were inoculated with RM-1 cells. The mice were inoculated with RM-1 cells, and then the mice were immunized. The anti-tumor efficacy of the gene vaccine was evaluated by the ratio of tumor formation, tumor volume, tumor mass before and after gene vaccination and evaluated by survival rate of the immunized mice. RESULTS High level of anti-PSMA antibody was induced in the PVAX-PSMA group. The splenocytes from PVAX-PSMA group were stimulated to produce strong proliferation responses and significant cytotoxic T-cells (CTL) activity. After the mice were immunized with PVAX-PSMA gene, tumor occurrence was decreased, and the growth velocity of tumor was markedly reduced, resulting in prolonged tumor-free time (P 〈 0.05). CONCLUSION PVAX-PSMA gene vaccine has significant anti- tumor effects and provides an experimental basis for primary prevention and immunotherapy of prostate cancer.展开更多

It has been used to treat adult patients with fatty liver caused by obesity, high cholesterol and other factors. In the present study, we investigated the clinical efficacy and safety of Shugan Quzhi capsule in adult simple obesity. The patients were randomly divided into the treatment group and control group. The whole treatment lasted 2 months under the same nutritional condition and diet intervention. Body weight, body mass index, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, urine and blood routine examination were recorded before and after treatment. Our data showed that the total effective rate of treatment group was 66.67%, and body weight and body mass index after treatment the body were significantly decreased (P〈0.01). The levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein after treatment were lower than before treatment, but there was no statistical difference (P〉0.05). The total effective rate of control group was 39.13%, and the body weight and body mass index atter treatment were also significantly lower than before (P〈0.01). There was no significant difference between the treatment group and control group (P〉0.05). There were no significant changes in liver function, renal function, urine routine and blood routine examination data after treatment. The results suggested that Shugan Quzhi capsule had certain therapeutic efficacy and safety in adult simple obesity.展开更多

Therefore, its availability has the vital significanee for pharmaceutical enterprise to carry out the re-evaluation of gen eric medici nal products and study of generic medicinal products. The nati onal drug code (NDC) is the unique, 3-segment number for each drug product in USA, and it serves as a universal product identifier for drugs. While the NDC directory adopts the infbrmation of drug products in the current commercial distribution, including all of the prescription drug and over the counter (OTC) drug products. The composition and configuration of the NDC number are systemically elaborated in this paper, as well as the data source, development history and supporting measures of the NDC directory. At the same time, by taking drugs, which are adopted in the Chinese comparator product directory of generic medicinal product (first batch) and sourced from USA orange book, as example, it introduces the application of the NDC directory in the availability aspect of the Chinese comparator products to facilitate the Chinese or foreign pharmaceutical manufacturers to search, identify and purchase the suitable RLD sourced from USA orange book.
