ABSTACT OBJECTIVE:To study the formation technology of Ibuprofen dropping pills and determine the dissolution in vitro. METHODS:Based on single factor test and with the spherical degree,drug-loading rate and pill weight variation as the evaluated indexes,response surface methodology was employed to screen the ratios of drug to matrix,drug solution temperatures and cryo-genic temperatures in the formation technology,and verification tests were conducted. The dissolution in vitro of the dropping pills prepared by the optimal technology was investigated and compared with that of the preparations sold in the market. RESULTS:The optimal formation technology of Ibuprofen dropping pills was as follows as the ratio of drug to matrix of 1∶6,drug solution temper-ature of 83 ℃ and cryogenic temperature of 7.3 ℃. In the verification tests,the self-made dropping pills demonstrated a spherical degree of 0.945 9,drug-loading rate of 99.82%,pill weight variation of 0.040 28 and drug-loading capacity of 30 mg/pill,with the actual comprehensive score of 0.972 5,deviating from the theoretical one (0.980 0) by 0.771 2%(RSD<1.5%,n=3). The dropping pills prepared had a dissolution rate of 25.36%at 5 min and an accumulated dissolution rate up to 90.12%at 30 min,sim-ilar with the Ibuprofen tablets sold in the market in drug release in vitro (f2=54.91),conforming to a first-order kinetic equation. CONCLUSIONS:The optimized formation technology is simple,stable,feasible and well reproducible,and the dropping pills which are prepared by such technology can release drug quickly.

Objective To observe different priming techniques with intubation dose when using cisatracurium in onset time and safety. Methods Eighty ASA physical status Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients undergoing elective surgery requiring general anesthesia were enrolled. Group Ⅰ with 20 cases received cisatracurium 0.010 mg/kg, group Ⅱ with 20 cases received cisatracurium 0.015 mg/kg,group Ⅲ with 20 cases received cisatracurium 0.010 mg/kg,and group Ⅳ with 20 cases received normal saline. Four minutes after priming,group Ⅰ received cisatracurium 0.140 mg/kg ,group Ⅱ received cisatracurium 0.135 mg/kg, group Ⅲ received cisatracurium 0.190 mg/kg,and group Ⅳ received cisatracurium 0.200 mg/kg. Mechanomyography assessed the neuromuscular function of the adductor pollicis with train-of-four (TOF) supramaximal impulses T1. The trachea was intubated when the amplitude of T1 decreased to 0. Recorded T1 and TOF in 4 minutes and onset time of muscle relaxation, then evaluated intubation condition. Results The onset time in group Ⅰ , Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ were (151.30 ± 10.90), (138.90 ±8.37), (145.45 ± 17.12), (148.75 ± 18.70) s,respectively. The onset time in group Ⅱ was obviously shorter than that in group Ⅰ , Ⅲ and Ⅳ (P ＜ 0.01 ),thus there was no significant differences among the group Ⅰ , Ⅲ and Ⅳ. During the priming interval, the value of T1 and TOF were both showing downtrend, in group Ⅱ ,there was TOF ＜ 90%. Conclusions Priming dose 0.010 mg/kg and intubation dose 0.140 mg/kg is just the same like that in intubation dose of quadruple ED95 whether priming. There is no benefit in priming cisatracurium of intubation dose quadruple ED95. There is TOF ＜ 90% in 4 minutes priming interval when using priming dose 30% ED95 and it is proved unsafely.

Objective To investigate the detection rate and missed diagnosis reason of sacral canal cyst with sacroiliac joint CT scan.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the changes of sacral canal in 1 286 cases with sacroiliac joint CT scan.CT scanning included bone algorithm reconstruction and standard algorithm reconstruction.Results Among 1 025 patients who had negative sacroiliac joint CT scan were found in 36 cases of sacral canal cyst,the detection rate was 3.5％ (36/1 025).Single cyst in 34 cases and multiple cysts in 2 cases.Cyst in S1 level 5 cases,S1-2 level 4 cases,S2 level 22 cases,S2-3 level 4 cases,S3 level 3 cases.The minimal short diameter of the cysts was 0.5 cm and the maximal diameter was 3.2 cm,average 1.2 cm.CT scan showed a round uniform cystic low density,and combined with sacral canal expansion in 19 cases.CT scan used bone algorithm reconstruction in 29 cases,used standard and bone algorithm reconstruction in 7 cases.Clinical findings and correctly diagnosed in 11 cases,accounted for 30.6％ (11/36),about 69.4％ (25/36) cases were missed diagnosis.Conclusions About 3.5％ patients are found sacral canal cyst who have negative sacroiliac joint CT scan.Both the standard and bone algorithm reconstruction should be used to avoid the missed diagnosis of sacral canal cyst.

BACKGROUND: Combined use of multiple interventions for different targets play superimposed or synergistic effects,which has become the current idea for spinal cord injury treatment.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the synergistic effects of low doses of 17-β estradiol combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation on the recovery of motor function and inflammatory reactions after spinal cord injury in rats.METHODS: The 10 of 70 male Sprague-Dawley rats served as sham group in which the spinal cord was only exposed but with no treatment, and the rest 60 rats were used to make animal models of spinal cord injury using modified Allen's method and then randomized into four groups (n=15 per group): model, estrogen, stem cell and combined treatment groups. Rats in the stem cell and combined treatment groups were given BMSCs transplantation at injured side; rats in the estrogen and combined treatment groups were given intramuscular injection of 17-β estradiol at 1 and 24 hours after modeling. At 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after modeling, rat functional recovery was evaluated by the Basso, Beatlie, Bresnahan score. The expressions of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α in the injured spinal cord were detected by ELISA at 6, 12, 24, and 72 hours after modeling. Apoptosis in nerve cells was observed using TUNEL staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The Basso, Beatlie, Bresnahan scores were declined significantly after modeling,increased at 5 and 7 days after stem cell transplantation, estrogen treatment or their combined treatment (P < 0.05),especially in the combined treatment group (P < 0.05). The levels of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α were elevated gradually after spinal cord injury (P < 0.05), but the levels decreased significantly at 12 and 24 hours in stem cell,estrogen and combined treatment groups (P < 0.05), and this decrease trend was more significant in the combined treatment group compared with the stem cell and estrogen groups (P < 0.05). At 72 hours after modeling, the rate of TUNEL positive cells was highest in the model group (P < 0.05) and lowest in the combined treatment group (P < 0.05).To conclude, the combined use of low doses of 17-β estradiol and BMSCs transplantation can facilitate the recovery of motor function after spinal cord injury by effectively inhibiting apoptosis in nerve cells.

A fast and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the determination of prodrug of paclitaxel (Pro-PTX) and paclitaxel (PTX) in rat plasma was developed. The plasma samples were subjected to protein precipitation with acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid), and then separated by LC with an Ultimate AQ-C18 column (50 mm × 3.0 mm, 3 μm) and acetonitrile-1 mmol·L^-1 ammonium formate (containing 0.1% formic acid) as the mobile phase. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) scanning mode was used to detect the ion responses m/z 983.4→415.2 (Pro-PTX), m/z 854.4→286.1 (PTX) and m/z 808.3→527.2 (Docetaxel, internal standard) by using a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization source and positive ion mode. The method validation results show that the linear ranges of Pro-PTX and PTX in plasma were 2.00-500 ng·mL^-1 (r > 0.99) and 4.00-1 000 ng·mL^-1 (r > 0.99), the lower limit of quantification was 2.00 ng·mL^-1 and 4.00 ng·mL^-1, respectively; the quality control samples with low, medium and high concentrations of Pro-PTX and PTX were within the batch, the relative standard deviation (RSD) between batches were all less than 9%; the relative deviation (RE) was within the range of ± 9%; In the stability test, both Pro-PTX and PTX in plasma were stable under various storage conditions. The method was sensitive, specific, and reproducible, and was suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of Pro-PTX in rats. Animal experiments were approved by the Ethics Committee of Laboratory Animal Management and Animal Welfare, Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (No.: 00003552).
