Rivaroxaban is a Factor Xa inhibitor with a rapid onset and disappearance of action after oral administration;it acts by inhibiting the active form of the coagulation factor. In order to reflect the effect of the action of Rivaroxaban, we used the prothrombin time (PT);however, it′s not the most accurate, but it is the one available in our community. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, analyst-blinded, parallel group clinical study to verify the efficacy of Rivaroxaban Leti 20 mg (RL) (12 volunteers vs Rivaroxaban Bayer 20 mg (RB) (13 volunteers). The variables were determination of PT and Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) at baseline and at 24, 48 and 72 hours after administering a daily dose of 20 mg for three days. The determination was carried out with the IDG method (Integrated Diagnostics Group Sanzay Corporation) with an International Sensitivity Index (ISI) of 1.17 PT and aPTT were taken before the first dose, and then, every day during the next 3 days, three hours after the ingestion of their daily dose at 7 am. Results: The 25 healthy volunteers were similar in age, BMI, and SBP/DBP level with a greater number of men in the Bayer group. The efficacy of rivaroxaban was similar in both groups with prolongation of PTT to the 2nd day of treatment with PT, and percentage changes from baseline (14.46 ± 0.97 for RB vs 14.17 ± 0.94 RL p: 0.45), PTT results and percentage changes from the base (RB: 34 ± 4.53 RL: 33.46 ± 2.82). The safety of rivaroxaban was good in both groups with no serious adverse events. The equivalence in the logarithmically transformed PT result (ln) on day two, Mean and CI (90%) 99.2 (94.4-104) and 100 (99.5-100.8);neither the means nor the 90% confidence intervals of the PT variable transformed logarithmically to ensure its normality, were far from the 80%-125% allowed for declaration of similarity. Conclusion: The test formulation Rivaroxaban Asarap<sup>?</sup> 20 mg, manufactured by Leti Laboratories, is interchangeable or bioequivalent in clinical and laboratory response to the reference formulation Xarelto<sup>?</sup> manufactured by Bayer Laboratories.展开更多

Twelve male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a CG treated with SJD(CG + SJD) and a model group treated with SJD(MG + SJD), both of which were orally administered with SJD(5 g/kg) 2 h after surgery. Blood samples were collected via the tail vein at 10, 20, and 40 min and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 h after a single dose of SJD to detect its main components using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The pharmacokinetic parameters were compared. In the pharmacodynamic experiment, 18 male SpragueDawley rats were randomly divided into a CG, an AP model group(MG), and an SJD treated AP group(SJDG). Serum amylase, lipase, and inflammatory cytokines were measured, and heart, lung, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney, and intestine tissues were collected for pathological examination.RESULTS The MG + SJD displayed significantly shorter mean residence time(MRT) and higher clearance(CL) for emodin and aloe-emodin; significantly shorter time of maximum concentration and T1/2 and a lower area under curve(AUC) for aloe-emodin; a significantly higher AUC and lower CL for rhein; and longer MRT and lower CL for chrysophanol than the CG + SJD. In the pharmacodynamic experiment, the amylase, interleukin(IL)-6, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α levels in the MG were higher than those in the CG(P < 0.05). After the herbal decoction treatment, the SJDG had higher IL-10 and lower TNF-α levels than the MG(P < 0.05). The MG had the highest pathological scores, and the pathological scores of the lung, pancreas, kidney, and intestine in the SJDG were significantly lower than those in the MG(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION AP may have varying effects on the pharmacokinetics of the major SJD components in rats. SJD might alleviate pathological injuries of the lung, pancreas, kidney, and intestine in rats with AP via regulating pro-and antiinflammatory responses, which might guide the clinical application of SJD for AP treatment.展开更多

Individualizing patient's immunosuppression to optimize the balance between therapeutic efficacy and the occurrence of adverse events poses a great challenge to physicians. DATA SOURCES:The data in this article were taken mostly from MEDLINE (2000-2004), part of which were from the research of the authors. RESULTS:Individualized immunosuppression remains a problem because of the narrow therapeutic index and wide inter- and intra-patient variation of commonly-used im- munosuppressants. Recent progress in study of pharmaco-kinetics and pharmacodynamics improved the clinical outcome of transplant recipients. More importantly, the emergence of pharmacogenomics might provide a promising and complementary tool for traditional therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). CONCLUSIONS:Individualizing organ recipient's immunosuppression to balance the therapeutic efficacy and the adverse events represents a great challenge to transplant clinicians. Pharmacogenomics shows great promise for an interesting and hopefully better future.展开更多

Despite its ubiquitous use in medicine and surgery, there are few detailed reviews of its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Being an amide-type local anesthetic and Class 1b antiarrhythmic, lignocaine is most frequently used clinically for its anesthetic and antiarrhythmic benefits. However, lignocaine has important antinociceptive, immuno-modulating, and antiinflammatory properties. Information pertaining to the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of lignocaine was examined by performing a literature search of Pub Med, Embase and MEDLINE(via Ovid), pharmacology textbooks and online sources. We present a focused synopsis of lignocaine's pharmacological composition, indications for use and mechanisms of action, focusing on its anti-inflammatory, immuno-modulating and analgesia effects. In addition we review the dosing regimes and infusion kinetics of lignocaine in the clinical setting. Finally, we review the evidence for ligocaine's modulation of the inflammatory response during major surgery and its specific effects on cancer recurrence. These indirect effects of local anesthetics in tumor development may stem from the reduction of neuroendocrine responses to the stress response elicited by major surgery and tissue damage, enhanced preservation of immune-competence, in addition to opioid-sparing effects of modulating tumor growth.展开更多

Different dosages(6, 12 and 24 g/kg for the LDG, MDG, and HDG, respectively) of DCQD were administered to the rats with SAP. The tissue concentrations of aloeemodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol, honokiol, rheo chrysophanol, magnolol, hesperidin, naringenin and naringin in the liver of the treated rats were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Alanine transaminase(ALT) and aspartate transaminase(AST) in serum, inflammatory mediators in the liver and pathological scores were evaluated.RESULTS The major components of DCQD were detected in the liver, and their concentrations increased dosedependently. The high dose of DCQD showed a maximal effect in ameliorating the pathological damages, decreasing the pro-inflammatory mediators tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin(IL)-6 and increasing anti-inflammatory mediators IL-4 and IL-10 in the liver. The pathological scores in the pancreas for the MG were significantly higher than those for the SOG(P < 0.05). DCQD could reduce the pathological scores in the pancreas and liver of the rats with SAP, especially in the HDG. Compared to the SOG, the ALT and AST levels in serum were higher in the MG(P < 0.05), while there was no statistical difference in the MG and HDG.CONCLUSION DCQD could alleviate liver damage by altering the inflammatory response in rats with SAP based on the liver distribution of its components.展开更多

Our purpose was to determine the minimum inhibitory con-centration (MIC) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters predicting a positive response to therapy with piperacil-lin-tazobactam. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed at 3 centers. Data were recorded to assess age, type of disease, renal function, weight (body mass), MIC, antimicrobial treatment, and clinical outcome. Success was response to piperacillin-tazobactam alone, or in combination with another active agent;failure was lack of response. Of 78 eva-luable patients, 63 responded (7 UTI;56 non-UTI) and 15 did not;26 responding received combination therapy and 37 monotherapy. Piperacillin-tazobactam treatment was successful in 53 of 63 of non-UTI disease with a MIC of ≤64/4 μg/mL, but in only 3 of 7 with a MIC of >64/4 μg/mL (P = 0.023);overall 9 of 10 infections by strains with MICs = 32 - 64 μg/mL had a successful outcome. Piperacillin estimated time above MIC at 20% separated those responding from those that did not (P = 0.019).展开更多

This article reviews published studies for efficacy prediction with cefditoren and those aimed to explore its potential for countering resistance spread, focusing on the three most prevalent community-acquired isolates from respiratory infections: Streptococcus pneumoniae(S. pneumoniae), Haemophilus influenzae(H. influenzae) and Streptococcus pyogenes(S. pyogenes). Studies for efficacy prediction include in vitro pharmacodynamic simulations(using physiological concentrations of human albumin) and mice models(taking advantage of the same protein binding rate in mice and humans) to determine the value of the pharmacodynamic indices predicting efficacy, and Monte Carlo simulations to explore population pharmacodynamic coverage, as weapons for establishing breakpoints. Studies exploring the potential of cefditoren(free concentrations obtained with 400 mg cefditoren bid administration) for countering spread of resistance showed itscapability for countering(1) intra-strain spread of resistance linked to fts I gene mutations in H. influenzae;(2) the spread of H. influenzae resistant strains(with fts I gene mutations) in multi-strain H. influenzae niches or of S. pneumoniae strains with multiple resistance traits in multi-strain S. pneumoniae niches; and(3) for overcoming indirect pathogenicity linked to β-lactamase production by H. influenzae that protects S. pyogenes in multibacterial niches.

文摘BACKGROUND Itraconazole is a broad-spectrum triazole antifungal inhibiting fungal growth by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis and exhibits a nonlinear pharmacokinetic profile.Erratic absorption pattern with wide fluctuations in blood levels causes inconsistent and unpredictable clinical behaviour of this drug despite its low minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)as compared to other antifungal agents.AIM To compare the oral bioavailability and bioequivalence of Fixtral SB(supra bioavailable itraconazole)with reference product R2(supra bioavailable 2×50 mg itraconazole).METHODS The study population consisted of 54 healthy volunteers,aged between 18-45 years and randomized to receive a single oral dose of either test[T;Fixtral SB(supra bioavailable itraconazole)100 mg]or reference product(R1;Sporanox 100 mg×2 capsules and R2;Lozanoc capsules 50 mg×2 capsules).Blood samples were taken pre-dose and post-dose up to 96 h.The study evaluated bioequivalence by comparing the oral bioavailability of the test product with reference product R2.The pharmacodynamic characteristics of the drug were evaluated by comparing the test product with reference product R1.Pharmacokinetics(PK)-PD comparative analysis[area under the concentration-time curve(AUC)/minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)>25]was performed for conventional itraconazole 100 mg and supra bioavailable itraconazole 50 mg.Adverse events(AEs)assessments were performed in each study period and post-study evaluation.RESULTS Statistical analysis of primary PK variables revealed bioequivalence,with confidence intervals being completely inside the acceptance criteria of 80%-125%.The peak concentration levels of itraconazole were achieved at 10 h(T)and 8.5 h(R2),respectively.Pharmacodynamic parameter assessment showed that AUC/MIC for R1 are comparable to Fixtral SB 100mg for MIC levels up to 16mcg/mL(P>0.05 and observed P=0.3196).Six AEs were observed that were mild to moderate in severity and resolved.No severe AE was reported.CONCLUSION Test product itraconazole Capsule 100 mg is bioequivalent with the reference product(R2)at 100 mg dose(2 capsules of Lozanoc®50 mg)under fed conditions.Pharmacodynamics activity in terms of AUC/MIC is comparable between the test product at 100 mg dose and marketed itraconazole 200 mg.Fixtral SB is expected to have therapeutically similar efficacy at half the equivalent dose.Tested formulations were found to be safe and well tolerated.
文摘Background: The prevalence of both atrial fibrillation (FA) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing and they often occur together and constitute a high risk of thrombosis. Rivaroxaban is a Factor Xa inhibitor with a rapid onset and disappearance of action after oral administration;it acts by inhibiting the active form of the coagulation factor. In order to reflect the effect of the action of Rivaroxaban, we used the prothrombin time (PT);however, it′s not the most accurate, but it is the one available in our community. Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, analyst-blinded, parallel group clinical study to verify the efficacy of Rivaroxaban Leti 20 mg (RL) (12 volunteers vs Rivaroxaban Bayer 20 mg (RB) (13 volunteers). The variables were determination of PT and Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT) at baseline and at 24, 48 and 72 hours after administering a daily dose of 20 mg for three days. The determination was carried out with the IDG method (Integrated Diagnostics Group Sanzay Corporation) with an International Sensitivity Index (ISI) of 1.17 PT and aPTT were taken before the first dose, and then, every day during the next 3 days, three hours after the ingestion of their daily dose at 7 am. Results: The 25 healthy volunteers were similar in age, BMI, and SBP/DBP level with a greater number of men in the Bayer group. The efficacy of rivaroxaban was similar in both groups with prolongation of PTT to the 2nd day of treatment with PT, and percentage changes from baseline (14.46 ± 0.97 for RB vs 14.17 ± 0.94 RL p: 0.45), PTT results and percentage changes from the base (RB: 34 ± 4.53 RL: 33.46 ± 2.82). The safety of rivaroxaban was good in both groups with no serious adverse events. The equivalence in the logarithmically transformed PT result (ln) on day two, Mean and CI (90%) 99.2 (94.4-104) and 100 (99.5-100.8);neither the means nor the 90% confidence intervals of the PT variable transformed logarithmically to ensure its normality, were far from the 80%-125% allowed for declaration of similarity. Conclusion: The test formulation Rivaroxaban Asarap<sup>?</sup> 20 mg, manufactured by Leti Laboratories, is interchangeable or bioequivalent in clinical and laboratory response to the reference formulation Xarelto<sup>?</sup> manufactured by Bayer Laboratories.

文摘The aim of this experiment was to investigate the ameliorative effect and molecular mechanism of tilapia head glycolipid(TH-GL)on indomethacin(IDM)-induced gastric ulcer in male Sprague Dawley(SD)rats.The gastric ulcer model was established by oral administration of 30mgkg^(-1) IDM after 7 days of TH-GL or omeprazole(OME)administration in rats.Then the macroscopic gastric injury symptoms,gastric mucosa protective factor cyclooxygenase 1(COX-1),cyclooxygenase 2(COX-2),prostaglandin E_(2)(PGE_(2)),the levels of oxidative stress,and inflammatory cytokine expression levels in the rats were analyzed.The experimental results showed that multiple ulcers appeared on the gastric surface of the rats in the model group.Compared to the model group,TH-GL significantly alleviated gastric ulcers and reduced the gastric damage index in rats.In addition,TH-GL significantly promoted the expression of constitutive enzyme COX-1 while inhibited the expression of inducible enzyme COX-2,and make PGE2 maintain at normal levels.TH-GL also inhibited oxidative stress and inflammatory responses,increased superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity and glutathione(GSH)content,decreased the level of malondialdehyde(MDA)and the content of pro-inflammatory factor.In conclusion,these results suggested that TH-GL could maintain the expression levels of COX-1 and PGE2 while inhibit the expression of COX-2 in the gastric of rat and then prevent IDM-induced gastric ulcer,which may be related to the regulation of oxidative stress and inflammatory response.Therefore,TH-GL might be a new option for the prevention of gastric diseases induced by IDM.

文摘AIM To explore the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Shengjiang decoction(SJD) in rats with acute pancreatitis(AP) for protecting against multiple organ injury.METHODS An AP model was established by retrograde perfusion of 3.5% sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct, and a control group(CG) received 0.9% sodium chloride instead. Twelve male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a CG treated with SJD(CG + SJD) and a model group treated with SJD(MG + SJD), both of which were orally administered with SJD(5 g/kg) 2 h after surgery. Blood samples were collected via the tail vein at 10, 20, and 40 min and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 h after a single dose of SJD to detect its main components using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The pharmacokinetic parameters were compared. In the pharmacodynamic experiment, 18 male SpragueDawley rats were randomly divided into a CG, an AP model group(MG), and an SJD treated AP group(SJDG). Serum amylase, lipase, and inflammatory cytokines were measured, and heart, lung, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney, and intestine tissues were collected for pathological examination.RESULTS The MG + SJD displayed significantly shorter mean residence time(MRT) and higher clearance(CL) for emodin and aloe-emodin; significantly shorter time of maximum concentration and T1/2 and a lower area under curve(AUC) for aloe-emodin; a significantly higher AUC and lower CL for rhein; and longer MRT and lower CL for chrysophanol than the CG + SJD. In the pharmacodynamic experiment, the amylase, interleukin(IL)-6, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α levels in the MG were higher than those in the CG(P < 0.05). After the herbal decoction treatment, the SJDG had higher IL-10 and lower TNF-α levels than the MG(P < 0.05). The MG had the highest pathological scores, and the pathological scores of the lung, pancreas, kidney, and intestine in the SJDG were significantly lower than those in the MG(P < 0.05).CONCLUSION AP may have varying effects on the pharmacokinetics of the major SJD components in rats. SJD might alleviate pathological injuries of the lung, pancreas, kidney, and intestine in rats with AP via regulating pro-and antiinflammatory responses, which might guide the clinical application of SJD for AP treatment.
文摘The ultimate goal of transplantation is the donor-specific immune tolerance, but at least in the first 15 to 20 years of this century, immunosuppressive agents are still the determinant of clinical outcome of transplant recipients. Individualizing patient's immunosuppression to optimize the balance between therapeutic efficacy and the occurrence of adverse events poses a great challenge to physicians. DATA SOURCES:The data in this article were taken mostly from MEDLINE (2000-2004), part of which were from the research of the authors. RESULTS:Individualized immunosuppression remains a problem because of the narrow therapeutic index and wide inter- and intra-patient variation of commonly-used im- munosuppressants. Recent progress in study of pharmaco-kinetics and pharmacodynamics improved the clinical outcome of transplant recipients. More importantly, the emergence of pharmacogenomics might provide a promising and complementary tool for traditional therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). CONCLUSIONS:Individualizing organ recipient's immunosuppression to balance the therapeutic efficacy and the adverse events represents a great challenge to transplant clinicians. Pharmacogenomics shows great promise for an interesting and hopefully better future.
文摘Lignocaine is an essential drug on World Health Organisation essential drug list, considered efficacious, safe and cost-effective for any health-care system. Despite its ubiquitous use in medicine and surgery, there are few detailed reviews of its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Being an amide-type local anesthetic and Class 1b antiarrhythmic, lignocaine is most frequently used clinically for its anesthetic and antiarrhythmic benefits. However, lignocaine has important antinociceptive, immuno-modulating, and antiinflammatory properties. Information pertaining to the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of lignocaine was examined by performing a literature search of Pub Med, Embase and MEDLINE(via Ovid), pharmacology textbooks and online sources. We present a focused synopsis of lignocaine's pharmacological composition, indications for use and mechanisms of action, focusing on its anti-inflammatory, immuno-modulating and analgesia effects. In addition we review the dosing regimes and infusion kinetics of lignocaine in the clinical setting. Finally, we review the evidence for ligocaine's modulation of the inflammatory response during major surgery and its specific effects on cancer recurrence. These indirect effects of local anesthetics in tumor development may stem from the reduction of neuroendocrine responses to the stress response elicited by major surgery and tissue damage, enhanced preservation of immune-competence, in addition to opioid-sparing effects of modulating tumor growth.

文摘The work aims to investigate the in vitro release,pharmacokinetics(PK),pharmacodynamics(PD)and PK-PD relationships of Salvianolic Acid B micro-porous osmotic pump pellets(SalB-MPOPs)in angina pectoris New Zealand White(NZW)rabbits,compared with those of SalB immediate-release pellets(SalB-IRPs).The SalB plasma concentrations and Superoxide dismutase levels(PD index)were recorded continuously at predetermined time interval after administration,and the related parameters were calculated by using Win-Nonlin software.The release profile of MPOPs was more sustained than that of IRPs.PK results indicated that the mean C_(max) was significantly lower,the SalB plasma concentrations were steadier,both area under concentration-time curve from 0 to 24 h(AUC_(0-24 h))and from 0 to infinity(AUC_(0-∞))were presented larger,and both the peak concentration time(T_(max))and mean residence time(MRT)were prolonged for MPOPs,as compared with those of IRPs.PD results suggested that peak drug effect(E_(max))was lower and the equilibration rate constant(k_(e0))between the central compartment and the effect compartment was higher of MPOPs vs.those of IRPs.PKePD relationships demonstrated that the effectconcentration-time(ECT)course of MPOPs was clockwise hysteresis loop,and that of IRPs was counter-clockwise hysteresis loop.Collectively,those results demonstrated that MPOPs were potential formulations in treating angina pectoris induced by atherosclerosis.

文摘AIM To explore the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Da-Cheng-Qi decoction(DCQD) in the liver of rats with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) based on an herbal recipe tissue pharmacology hypothesis.METHODS Healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group(SOG); a model group(MG); and low-, median- and high-dose treatment groups(LDG, MDG, and HDG, respectively). Different dosages(6, 12 and 24 g/kg for the LDG, MDG, and HDG, respectively) of DCQD were administered to the rats with SAP. The tissue concentrations of aloeemodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophanol, honokiol, rheo chrysophanol, magnolol, hesperidin, naringenin and naringin in the liver of the treated rats were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Alanine transaminase(ALT) and aspartate transaminase(AST) in serum, inflammatory mediators in the liver and pathological scores were evaluated.RESULTS The major components of DCQD were detected in the liver, and their concentrations increased dosedependently. The high dose of DCQD showed a maximal effect in ameliorating the pathological damages, decreasing the pro-inflammatory mediators tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin(IL)-6 and increasing anti-inflammatory mediators IL-4 and IL-10 in the liver. The pathological scores in the pancreas for the MG were significantly higher than those for the SOG(P < 0.05). DCQD could reduce the pathological scores in the pancreas and liver of the rats with SAP, especially in the HDG. Compared to the SOG, the ALT and AST levels in serum were higher in the MG(P < 0.05), while there was no statistical difference in the MG and HDG.CONCLUSION DCQD could alleviate liver damage by altering the inflammatory response in rats with SAP based on the liver distribution of its components.

文摘Pseudomonas aeruginosa remains an important pathogen. Our purpose was to determine the minimum inhibitory con-centration (MIC) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters predicting a positive response to therapy with piperacil-lin-tazobactam. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed at 3 centers. Data were recorded to assess age, type of disease, renal function, weight (body mass), MIC, antimicrobial treatment, and clinical outcome. Success was response to piperacillin-tazobactam alone, or in combination with another active agent;failure was lack of response. Of 78 eva-luable patients, 63 responded (7 UTI;56 non-UTI) and 15 did not;26 responding received combination therapy and 37 monotherapy. Piperacillin-tazobactam treatment was successful in 53 of 63 of non-UTI disease with a MIC of ≤64/4 μg/mL, but in only 3 of 7 with a MIC of >64/4 μg/mL (P = 0.023);overall 9 of 10 infections by strains with MICs = 32 - 64 μg/mL had a successful outcome. Piperacillin estimated time above MIC at 20% separated those responding from those that did not (P = 0.019).
文摘Twenty-four healthy female volunteers with amenorrhea for seven weeks or less.asking for legal termination of pregnancy were recruited and divided into 4 groups (6 each). The subjects were orally administered with RU486 of 50mg (Group Ⅰ). 50mg Q12hx 6 (GrouP Ⅱ),200mg(GrouP Ⅲ)or 600mg(Group Ⅳ).Vacuum aspiration(GrouP Ⅰ)or Methyl Carprost Suppository(PGOS 1.0mg)(GrouP Ⅱ-Ⅳ)was given 72h after the firsl dose followed by a 6--hour medl'cal survel'llance.Blood samples were collected on day 1-6,8,15,43 to measure the serum levels of β-hCG,E2,P,PRL,ACTH, Cortisol,T3,T4 and TSH in each subject.The results showed that no significant dose-effect relationship was observed in terms of clinical efficacy,vaginal bleeding or side effects.All four groups shared the same tendency of changes in serum levels of β-hCG,E2 and P.β-hCG levels increased by 50-100% (P<0.01)24h prior to treatment,and continued ic ipcrease following lreatment until the sac expulsion.EZ levels l'n each group reinal'ned higher than pre-treatment values with the gradual decline in P levels.β-hCG,E2 and P decreased drastically after abortion,levels of β-hCG,E2,P on day 5 were only 35-60% (P<0.01),32-46%(P<0.01)and 30-56%(P<0.01)of those on day 4 respectively.The mean PRL levels on day 2-4 in each group increased obviously but declined gradually following the sac ex.pulsion.During treatment,the respective cortisol levels increased dramatically,the average levels ofcortisol on day 2-4 were 30-40%(P<0.05) l'n GrouP Ⅰ-Ⅲ and 60%(P< 0.01) in Group Ⅳ higher as compared with day 1 values, while decreased rapidly af ter termination of pregnancy as indicated that cortisol levels on day 5 were only 67-81%(P<0.05) of those on day 4.The changes in ACTH,T3,T4,TSH levels were of no statistic sigulAance(P>0.05).This study indicated that RU486 has no dose-effect relationship when used for interruption of early pregnancy and its main action site seems neither in ovary nor in villi.It has some effects on pituitary-adrenal axis,especially in large dosage,however,it has no obvious impact on pituilary-thyroid axis.It seems that the changes in PRL serum levels were directly due to the drug itsed ifs clinical significance should be further studied.
文摘The relationship between pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is a key instrument to improve antimicrobial stewardship and should be aimed to identification of the drug exposure measure that is closely associated not only with the ability to kill organisms but also to suppress the emergence of resistant subpopulations. This article reviews published studies for efficacy prediction with cefditoren and those aimed to explore its potential for countering resistance spread, focusing on the three most prevalent community-acquired isolates from respiratory infections: Streptococcus pneumoniae(S. pneumoniae), Haemophilus influenzae(H. influenzae) and Streptococcus pyogenes(S. pyogenes). Studies for efficacy prediction include in vitro pharmacodynamic simulations(using physiological concentrations of human albumin) and mice models(taking advantage of the same protein binding rate in mice and humans) to determine the value of the pharmacodynamic indices predicting efficacy, and Monte Carlo simulations to explore population pharmacodynamic coverage, as weapons for establishing breakpoints. Studies exploring the potential of cefditoren(free concentrations obtained with 400 mg cefditoren bid administration) for countering spread of resistance showed itscapability for countering(1) intra-strain spread of resistance linked to fts I gene mutations in H. influenzae;(2) the spread of H. influenzae resistant strains(with fts I gene mutations) in multi-strain H. influenzae niches or of S. pneumoniae strains with multiple resistance traits in multi-strain S. pneumoniae niches; and(3) for overcoming indirect pathogenicity linked to β-lactamase production by H. influenzae that protects S. pyogenes in multibacterial niches. This revision evidences the ecological potential for cefditoren(countering resistance spread among human-adapted commensals) and its adequate pharmacodynamic coverage of respiratory pathogens(including those resistant to previous oral compounds) producing community-acquired infections.

文摘Background:Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid(PDL),a famous traditional Chinese formula for treating acute and chronic inflammation.To evaluate the broad-spectrum antiviral effect of Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid,and provide a basis for clinical medication.Methods:Its inhibitory effect on different respiratory viruses was observed by cytopathic test.The potential mechanism of the anti-influenza effect was determined by neuraminidase activity.In order to observe the therapeutic effect of PDL on viral pneumonia caused by different respiratory viruses.The viral pneumonia model was established by nasal infection with different respiratory viruses,and then PDL was given Therapeutic and prophylactically to evaluate its pharmacodynamic activity in vivo.Results:The results of in vitro experiments showed that PDL had different inhibitory effects on cytopathic effects caused by different respiratory viruses.And it has obvious inhibitory effect on the neuraminidase activity of influenza A virus,which indicates that it exerts anti-influenza virus effect by inhibiting neuraminidase activity of influenza virus.The results in vivo showed that PDL exhibited an inhibitory effect on pulmonary index(PI)and effectively reduced the degree of lesions in the lungs.The lethal rate of mice was significantly decreased while survival time of mice was dramatically increased by PDL treatment in comparison to infection control,respectively.Conclusions:Our study demonstrates that PDL had a significant protection and treatment effect for respiratory virus infection in vitro and in vivo.

文摘OBJECTIVE To compare the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of PEG30-rhG-CSF administered to beagle dogs at three different dosages with PEG20-rhG-CSF administered at one dosage,and to provide an experimental basis for clinical trials.METHODS Beagle dogs received single,subcutaneous doses of PEG30-rhG-CSF at 100,200 and 400 μg/kg or PEG20-rhG-CSF at 200 μg/kg.PEG30-rhG-CSF and PEG20-rhG-CSF concentrations in serum were analyzed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).WBC,ANC and PLT counts of whole blood samples were measured using fully automated analytic instrumentation.Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were calculated using DAS 2.0 statistical analysis so ware.RESULTS The pharmacokinetic parameters of PEG30-rhG-CSF calculated from the serum concentration data determined by ELISA were as follows:the mean elimination half-life(t1/2ke) was 40.6 h(33.5~45.4 h);the mean time to reach peak concentration(Tmax) was 19.2 h(11.7~24.0 h);the drug clearance from the serum(CL) was decreased with increasing doses;the peak concentration(Cmax) and the area under the serum concentration-time curve(AUC) were increased with increasing doses.For PEG20-rhG-CSF,the half-life was shorter(12 h) and Tmax was achieved much earlier(10 h) relative to PEG30-rhG-CSF.The AUC of PEG30-rhG-CSF was much greater than that of PEG20-rhG-CSF,and the relative bioavailability with a subcutaneous injection was 158.7%.Administration of single doses of PEG30-rhG-CSF resulted in substantial increases in the absolute neutrophil count(ANC).The time to reach ANCmax(ANCTmax) was 72 h.The maximum observed absolute neutrophil counts(ANCmax) and the area over the baseline effect curve(AOBEC) was increased with increasing doses.The effect-elimination half-life(t1/2E) ranged from 60 h to 80 h a er subcutaneous administration.The PLT count was slightly elevated 8~12 h a er s.c.injection,and declined a er 24 h.CONCLUSION The mean elimination half-life of PEG30-rhG-CSF was longer than that of PEG20-rhG-CSF at the same dose,and the other main pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of PEG30-rhG-CSF,including Cmax,ANCmax,AUC and AOBEC were much greater than those following PEG20-rhG-CSF injection.
