Methods HPLC determination involved liquid-liquid extraction, separation on a CN column and ultraviolet detection at 310 ran with granisetron as an internal standard. Pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of ondansetron in orally disintegrating tablets by direct compression and conventional 8 mg tablets were evaluated and compared in 20 healthy human male volunteers after a single oral dose in a randomized cross-over study. Results The limit of quantification was 0.25 ng· mL^-1. The recovery was about 85 % or over for ondan setron and about 90% for internal standard. Linearity was good within the concentration range of 0.5 - 50 ng·mL^-1 with r^2 ranging from 0.997 1 to 0.999 9. Intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation ranged from 1.78% to 2.38% and 3.88% -5.19%, respectively. Accuracies for spiked concentrations of 2.0, 10.0, and 30.0 ng·mL^-1 were 104.7% ±4.4%, 102.2% ± 1.1%, and99.51% ±2.34%, respectively. Pharmacokinetic parameters of AUCo-t, AUCo-∞ , Cmax, Tmax, and T1/2 were 230.2 ± 78.0 ng·h·L^-1 , 265.2± 101.5 ng·h·mL^-1, 35.67 ± 8.94 ng·mL^-l, 1.51 ±0.79 h, and 5.00± 1.41 h for orally disintegrating tablets, respectively. The analysis of variance did not show any significant difference between orally disintegrating tablets and conventional tablets, and 90% confidence intervals fell within the acceptable range for bioequivalence. Conclusion High resolution HPLC method has been set up and applied in pharmacokinetic evaluation of ondansetron in orally disintegrating tablets.展开更多

The experimental conditions were as follows: Ultrasphere ODS column (250 mm 4.6 mm, 5 mm), mobile phase: acetonitrile-water (containing 1.0% acetic acid) (20:8050:50) (20 min), flow-rate 1 mLmin-1, room temperature, detection wavelength 278 nm. Twenty-eight samples of Xuan-shen (Radix Scrophulariae) from different districts of China were analyzed and the contents of harpagoside and cinnamic acid in Xuan-shen were 0.041~0.244% and 0.012~0.068% respectively. The recoveries (RSD)% were 97.13(0.80)% for harpagoside and 99.38(0.51)% for cinnamic acid. The method is simple and accurate. It can be used for the quality control of Radix Scrophulariae. We propose that the content of harpagoside in qualified Radix Scrophularia should be no less than 0.05%.展开更多

Results showed that all leaves consisted of epidermis, chlorenchyma, aquiferous tissue and vascular bundles. The leaves had the xeromorphic characteristics, including thickened epidermal cell wall, thickened cuticle, sunken stomata and well-developed aquiferous tissue. With the exception of thus, there were remarkable differences in leaf structure among the six species. The chlorenchyma cells were similar to palisade tissues in Aloe arborescens Mill. and A. mutabilis Pillans, but isodiametric in A. vera L., A. vera L. var. chinensis Berg., A. saponaria Hawer and A. greenii Bali. A. arborescens, A. mutabilis, A. very and A. vera var. chinensis included large parenchymatous cells at the vascular bundles, whereas no such cells were observed at the vascular bundles of A. saponaria and A. greenii. In A. arborescens, A. mutabilis and A. vera, the aquiferous tissue sheaths were present and composed of a layer of small parenchymatous cells without chloroplasts around the aquiferous tissue. While there were no aquiferous tissue sheaths in A. vera var. chinensis, A. saponaria and A. greenii. The HPLC revealed that the content of aloin was high in A. arborescens, low in A. vera, and very low in A. saponaria among the six species. The fluorescent microscopy showed that the yellow-green globule only appeared in the large parenchymatous cells of vascular bundles, vascular bundle sheath and aquiferous tissue sheath, but not in the chlorenchyma and aquiferous tissue. Consequently, the large parenchymatous cells of vascular bundles, vascular bundle sheath and aquiferous tissue sheath were the storage location of aloin. They were positively correlated with the content of aloin.展开更多

After extraction with ether, the chromatographic separation of PZS is carried out using a reverse phase C18 column ( 150 mm ×4.6 mm, 5 μm) with a mobile phase of 30% acetonitrile and 70% acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution (pH = 3.6) and quantified by fluorescence detection operated with an excitation wavelength of 258 nm and an emission wavelength of 387 nm. The flow rate of the mobile phase is 1.0 mL/min and the retention time of PZS and the internal standard is found to be 4. 4 and 5. 8 rain, respectively. The calibration curve is linear within a concentration range from 1.0 to 1 000.0 ng/mL ( P 〉 0. 998). The limit of detection is 0.4 ng/mL. The inter-day coefficient of variation (COV) of the calibration standards is below 5.0% and the mean accuracy is in the range from 92. 7% to 104. 2%. Moreover, by analyzing quality control plasma samples for three days, the results show that the method is precise and accurate, for the intra- and inter- day COV within 10% and the accuracy from 95.9% to 112.7%. The developed and validated method is successfully applied to phannacokinetic study for the preclinical evaluation of a new peroral PZS-sulfobutyl ether beta-cyclodextrin (PZS-SBE-β-CD) inclusion complex tablets (test preparation), which demonstrates that the test preparation released PZS is conducted in a slow and controlled way, and the relative bioavailability of the test preparation is found to be 105.0%.展开更多

[Method] The experiment, using multi-spectral imaging system, acquired the multi-spectral images of damaged rice leaves from band 400 to 720 nm by interval of 5 nm. [Result] According to the principle of band index, it was calculated that the bands at 515, 510, 710, 555, 630, 535, 505, 530 and 595 nm were having high band index value with rich information and little correlation. Furthermore, the experiment used two classification methods and calcu-lated the classification accuracy higher than 90.00% for feature bands and ful bands of damaged rice leaves by planthoppers respectively. [Conclusion] It can be con-cluded that these bands can be considered as effective feature bands to identify damaged rice leaves by planthoppers quickly from a large scale of crops.展开更多

文摘AIM:To identify differentially expressed genes in quiescent and activated hepatic stellate cells(HSCs)and explore their functions.METHODS:HSCs were isolated from the normal Sprague Dawley rats by in suit perfusion of collagenase and pronase and density Nycodenz gradient centrifugation.Total RNA and mRNA of quiescent HSCs,and cultureactivated HSCs were extracted,quantified and reversely transcripted into cDNA.The global gene expression profile was analyzed by microarray with Affymetrix rat genechip.Differentially expressed genes were annotated with Gene Ontology(GO)and analyzed with Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)pathway using the Database for Annotation,Visualization and Integrated Discovery.Microarray data were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRTPCR).The function of Wnt5a on human HSCs line LX-2 was assessed with lentivirus-mediated Wnt5a RNAi.The expression of Wnt5a in fibrotic liver of a carbon tetrachloride(CCl4)-induced fibrosis rat model was also analyzed with Western blotting.RESULTS:Of the 28 700 genes represented on this chip,2566 genes displayed at least a 2-fold increase or decrease in expression at a P<0.01 level with a false discovery rate.Of these,1396 genes were upregulated,while 1170 genes were downregulated in culture-activated HSCs.These differentially expressed transcripts were grouped into 545 GO based on biological process GO terms.The most enriched GO terms included response to wounding,wound healing,regulation of cell growth,vasculature development and actin cytoskeleton organization.KEGG pathway analysis revealed that Wnt5a signaling pathway participated in the activation of HSCs.Wnt5a was significantly increased in cultureactivated HSCs as compared with quiescent HSCs.qRTPCR validated the microarray data.Lentivirus-mediated suppression of Wnt5a expression in activated LX-2 resulted in significantly impaired proliferation,downregulated expressions of typeⅠcollagen and transforming growth factor-β1.Wnt5a was upregulated in the fibrotic liver of a CCl4-induced fibrosis rat model.CONCLUSION:Wnt5a is involved in the activation of HSCs,and it may serve as a novel therapeutic target in the treatment of liver fibrosis.

文摘Objective To analyze the differential gene expression profile of serum exosomes in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI)and clarify the changes in gene expression related to cerebral infarction injury and the potential serum markers.Methods Four patients with ACI and five healthy people were enrolled in the PhaseⅠstudy.After serum isolation from peripheral blood,exosomes were extracted with exosomes kits,highthroughput detection of m RNA was performed with gene chips,and differentially expressed m RNAs were screened.Gene Ontology(GO)functional analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis were performed simultaneously.Furthermore,real-time polymerase chain reaction(q RT-PCR)was used to verify the expression levels of the screened differential m RNAs in the serum exosomes collected in PhaseⅡfrom 32 patients each in the ACI case and normal control groups.Results In the PhaseⅠstudy,there were 248 differentially expressed m RNAs(fold change≥2.0,P<0.05)among five patients in the normal control group and four patients in the case group,of which the expression of 242 was upregulated and that of six was downregulated.The results of GO functional enrichment analysis mainly included behavior regulation,cell connection,and antioxidant activity.The results of KEGG pathway enrichment analysis mainly included ribosomes,proteasomes,oxytocin signaling pathways,and oxidative phosphorylation.After researching and screening based on relevant literature,it was found that among the genes with significant differential expression,H3 F3 B m RNA may be associated with and might play an important role in ACI.The q RT-PCR method was used to detect the H3 F3 B mRNA expression in serum exosomes of 32 patients each in the normal control and case groups in PhaseⅡ;the expression was significantly higher in serum exosomes of the case group than in those of the normal control group(P<0.001).H3 F3 B mRNA expression in serum exosomes of the case group positively correlated with age,the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score,and the maximum infarct size(P<0.05).Conclusion ACI can lead to changes in the serum exosomes mRNA expression profile,which may be closely related to the occurrence,development,and prognosis of this condition.These findings will provide direction for research on the molecular mechanism,diagnostic markers,and therapeutic targets of ACI.
