Objective:To prepare bererine hydrochloride ( BER) liposomes and establish an effective method for the determination of content and entrapment efficiency. Methods:BER liposomes were prepared by ammonium sulfate gradient method. The encapsula-tion efficiency of BER liposomes was respectively determined by supercentrifugation method, microcolumn gel method and ultrafiltration method, and the content of every component in BER liposomes was detected by HPLC-ELSD. Results:The results showed that super-centrifugation method could precisely separate the free drug from the liposomes. The optimum parameters of supercentrifugation method were the centrifugal speed of 60 000 r·min-1 , the centrifugal time of 1 h, the centrifugal temperature of 10℃ and the lipid concentra-tion of 6 mg·ml-1 . Conclusion:The method is simple and sensitive with good separation efficiency. HPLC-ELSD can be used to de-termine the content of every component in BER liposomes.

Objective:To prepare docetaxel liposomes mediated by folic acid receptor using different preparation processes, estab-lish the quality control and determine the stability. Methods:HSPC, FA-PEG2000-DSPE and docetaxel were dissolved in the solvent with the ratio of 100︰5︰8. Docetaxel liposomes were prepared by three different methods. The mean diameter of liposomes was deter-mined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Low-speed centrifugation was employed to determine the encapsulation efficiency (EE). The residual organic solvents were determined by gas chromatograph. Results:The mean diameter of docetaxel liposomes was (155 ± 10) nm with PdI below 0. 20. The EE was over 95. 0%. The inspection indices of docetaxel liposomes were not changed significantly after six-month storage under the temperature of (25 ± 2)℃. Conclusion:The third production process with high ratio of drug to lipid is feasible, controllable and stable in quality.

Objective: To prepare daptomycin liposomes and investigate the in vitro drug release.Methods: Daptomycin liposomes were prepared by an active loading method.The distribution of particle size and zeta potential of liposomes were determined by a laser particle size analyzer.The encapsulation efficiency and in vitro drug release were determined by HPLC.Results: The particle size of daptomycin liposomes was 109.5 nm, the heterogeneous dispersion coefficient was 0.042 and the zeta potential was-6.48 mV.The entrapment efficiency determined by gel column and centrifugation was 50.8% and 50.3%, respectively.The result of in vitro drug release showed that daptomycin liposomes had a good sustained-release effect when compared with daptomycin for injection.Conclusion: Daptomycin liposomes have uniform particle size, which can release drug slowly to reduce administration frequency.

ObjectiveTo determine the correlation of real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) patterns and quantitative parameters with microvessel density (MVD) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression of breast tumors.Methods One hundred and five patients with 128 breast lesions(62 benign,66 malignant) underwent CEUS examination.CEUS patterns were analyzed and parameters were obtained by time-intensity curve analysis software.Immunohistochemical staining using anti-factor CD34 was performed to evaluated the MVD and VEGF expression was detected.Results All CEUS patternsweresignificantlyassociatedwithMVDandVEGFexpressionexceptboundary characteristics( P ＜ 0.05).The enhancement parameters showed that the time to peak was significantly faster in malignant tumors than that in benign lesions,and the peak intensity and area under the curve were significantly higher in malignant tumors than those in benign lesions( P ＜0.05).The time to peak,the peak intensity,area under the time-intensity curve were statistically correlated with MVD (P ＜0.05),the highest correlation was between the area and MVD( r =0.81,P ＜0.001).Only the area under the timeintensity curve was significantly associated with VEGF expression (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions CEUS patterns and parameters of breast lesions are closely correlated with MVD,which can be used to evaluated the angiogenesis in breast tumors.

Objectives:To discuss the feasibility of Image J in quantitative analysis on thin layer chromatography (TLC) using gallic acid in Galla Chinensis as research object.Methods:Silica gel GF 254 thin-layer plate was used with chloroform-ethyl formate-formic acid (5:5:1) as the developing solvent and the images were taken under ultraviolet light (254 nm). Polyamide film was used with 75% ethanol-glacial acetic acid (50:1) as the developing solvent and 1% ferric chloride ethanol solution as the chromogenic reagent, and the images were taken under sunlight. Images obtained from the above conditions were imported into Image J to analyze and calculate the content of gallic acid in Galla Chinensis by using external standard two-point method. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used with a mobile phase of methanol-0.1% phosphoric acid solution (15:85) at a wavelength of 273 nm to determine the gallic acid content in Galla Chinensis. Results:The quantitation limit of gallic acid on silica gel GF 254 thin-layer plate was 0.401 6 μg, the linear range was 2.855 - 9.515 μg ( r2 = 0.996 0), and the average recovery was 105.12% ( RSD=3.48%); the quantitation limit of gallic acid on polyamide film was 0.363 4 μg, the linear range was 1.427 - 4.758 μg ( r2 = 0.991 5), and the average recovery was 103.75% ( RSD=4.60%). The HPLC method had a quantitative limit of 4.42 ng, a linear range of 0.122-0.977 μg ( r2 = 0.999 9), and a recovery rate of 98.30% ( RSD = 1.40%). The accuracy, repeatability and stability of RSD were all <5%. The gallic acid content measured using Image J showed a maximum relative error of 9.30% and a minimum of 1.62% compared to the HPLC results. Conclusions:Image J is feasible for quantitative analysis of TLC and can be used as a complementary method for quality control of Chinese materia medica.
