OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the determination of dasatinib concentration in human plasma and study the bioequivalence of 2 kinds of tablets. METHODS:In a randomized two-way crossover study,24 healthy male volunteers were divid-ed into two groups,and were administered respectively with test and reference preparations 100 mg under fasting and fed condi-tions. The plasma concentration of dasatinib was determined by LC-MS/MS. Using imatinib mesylate as internal standard,the deter-mination was performed on Welchrom C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid(70∶30,V/V). Posi-tive ion scanning was conducted under MRM mode,ESI,and ion pair for quantitative analysis were m/z 488.5→401.2 (dasatinib) and m/z 494.6→394.2(internal standard). DAS 3.2.8 software was used for data processing and variance analysis was adopted to in-vestigate the bioequivalence of 2 kinds of tablets. RESULTS:The linear rang of dasatinib was 1-300 ng/ml. The pharmacokinetic pa-rameters of test and reference preparations under fasting conditions were as follows:cmax were (165.599 ± 67.592) and (164.533 ± 77.960)ng/ml;tmax were(1.145±0.504)and(1.080±0.467)h;t1/2 were(5.080±2.262)and(3.771±1.596)h;AUC0-36 h were (550.487 ± 256.494) and (585.986 ± 324.885) ng·h/ml. The pharmacokinetic parameters of test and reference preparations under fed conditions were as follows:cmax were(163.058±47.533)and(165.440±53.012)ng/ml;tmax were(1.630±1.066)and(1.576± 0.530)h;t1/2 were(4.720±2.677)and(4.311±2.610)h;AUC0-36 h were(568.036±192.521)and(601.100±216.855)ng·h/ml. Relative bioavailability of AUC0-36 h under fasting and fed conditions were(100.2±7.5)% and(99.2±3.8)%. Analysis of variance showed there were no significant difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters of between 2 preparations and cyde(P>0.05),there was statistical significance among subjects(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:LC-MS/MS method can determine the concentration of da-satinib in human plasma rapidly;and the two preparations are bioequivalent.

BACKGROUND: Hyperbaric oxygen can reduce brain ischemic-reperfusion injury, and this effect is closely related to the modulation of hyperbaric oxygen on microglias.OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of hyperbaric oxygen on the activity of in vitro cultured brain microglias and secretion of interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor α and nitric oxide (NO).DESIGN: Completely randomized grouping design, control experiment.SETTING: Teaching and Research Section of Diving Medicine, Teaching and Research Section of Immunity, Teaching and Research Section of Pathology, and the Experimental Animal Center, the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out at the laboratory of Diving Medicine as well as Teaching and Research Section of Immunity, the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA, between May 1999 and January 2000. Thirty neonatal SD rats of 1-day birth age were selected for the experiment.METHODS: [1] Brain microglias from newborn SD rats were cultured with digestion method, and microglias were identified with non-specific phosphodiesterase staining and cellular immunochemical staining. [2] Primary microglias were inoculated on 48-well culture board by 2×105/well and randomized into 5 groups: control group without hyperbaric oxygen pretreatment, and hyperbaric oxygen (0.2 MPa 1 hour) pretreatment 3, 7, 10,14 days groups. Cells in groups with hyperbaric oxygen pretreatment at the above various time points were then further divided into 2 subgroups, with one added with culture medium containing bacterium lipopolysaccharide of 1 mg/L (for microglia activation), but not in the other group. [3] Interleukin-1 activity was determined using thymocyte proliferation method. The activity of tumor necrosis factor-α was assessed with L929 cell toxicity test.Nitrous acid content detected by Griess method represented NO content.[4] t-test was used to compare the differences in non-paired quantitative data between the two groups.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The activity of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor a and NO content in resting and evoked brain microglias in rats at various time points of hyperbaric oxygen pretreatment.RESULTS: Thirty SD rats entered the result analysis. [1] The activity of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor α and NO content in resting brain microglias: The two groups did not differ obviously. [2] Interleukin-1activity and NO content in lipopolysaccharide-evoked brain microglias: They were significantly lower in 10-day and 14-day hyperbaric oxygen pretreatment groups than those in control group [10-day group: 0.409±0.014,(5.21±0.77) μnol/L; 14day group: 0.381±0.004, (4.93±1.02) μmol/L, P < 0.05].[3] The activity of tumor necrosis factor α in evoked brain microglias: It was obviously lower in 14day hyperbaric oxygen pretreatment group than in control group [(51.20±1.13) %, (70.10±2.26) %, P < 0.05].CONCLUSION: Pretreatment with 0.2 MPa hyperbaric oxygen can suppress the secretion of interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor α and NO by evoked microglias, but has not obvious effects on resting microglias.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of PET-CT brain imaging and resting-state fMRI in preoperative localization of temporal lobe epileptic (TLE)focus.Methods PET-CT and resting-state fMRI were performed in 17 patients with refractory TLE,who then underwent surgical treatment.Seventeen healthy volunteers matched with gender and age were recruited as the control group.The resting-state fMRI images were post processed by SPM5 software.Regional homogeneity(ReHo) values of the whole brain and bilateral hippocampus were obtained and analyzed.PET-CT images were analyzed by visual analysis method and asymmetry index method and the standardized uptake value (SUV) of bilateral hippocampus were obtained.The ReHo values and SUV of the bilateral hippocampus were compared by two independent samples t-test,and analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) for optimized diagnostic threshold.Pearson correlation analysis was employed for evaluating the correlation between the SUV and ReHo values of bilateral hippocampus.The consistency between the diagnostic accuracy of PET-CT and resting-state fMRI was assessed by Kappa consistency test.The outcome of the patient group was compared with that of the control group,and with the pathological results,to evaluate the diagnostic value of the two modalities for preoperative localization of temporal lobe epileptic focus.Results Regional or comprehensive low metabolism of 18F-FDG in temporal lobes was presented in all 17 patients,and 11 patients out of 17 showed lateral decreased ReHo value.The diagnostic accuracy of the two examinations was 70.6% (12/17) and 64.7% (11/17) for PET-CT and resting-state fMRI respectively compared with pathological results,and could be increased to 76.5% (13/17) when the two methods were combined for diagnosis.The ReHo values of the TLE group (0.34 ± 0.12)were significantly lower than those of the control group (0.46 ± 0.07) (t =3.230,P =0.003).The sensitivity and specificity of resting-state fMRI were 88.2% and 94.1% respectively when the ReHo value was 0.36.There was significant difference between the SUV of the affected (4.17 ±0.63) and healthy side(4.77 ±0.56) of hippocampus in TLE group(t =2.930,P =0.006).The sensitivity and specificity of PET-CT were 88.2% and 64.7% respectively when SUV was 4.23.The two values could be used as a threshold in the localization of temporal lobe epileptic focus.Consistency of lesion detection was revealed between PET-CT and resting-state fMRI though it was not high,and the Kappa value was 0.49.However,no correlation was detected between the SUV and ReHo value using Pearson correlation test(r =0.280,P =0.314).Conclusion Combined PET-CT brain imaging and resting-state fMRI as a multi-modality imaging method might improve the diagnostic accuracy of the TLE focus's localization.
