OBJECTIVE:Aspirin sustained release capsules(A-SRC) were prepared The release rate and bioavailability of A-SRC were studies METHODS:To study release mechanism by determining dissolution rate and to study relative bioavailability of A-SRC by determining serum concentrations in rabbits RESULTS:The release profile of A-SRC fitted zero-order kinetics This sustained release preparation had good release stability and high bioavailability in comparison with commonly-used aspirin sustained release capsules CONCLUSION:A-SRC showed obviously sustained release effect The drug concentration in blood kept steady and lasted long after oral administration,therefore the times of administration could be decreased Because the light-excipients were used in A-SRC,which had floating properties and could make drug release slowly A-SRC could decrease the irritations to gastrointestinal tract and other side effects

OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effects of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb) in rats with acute myocardial injury induced by isoproterenol (ISO).
METHODThe rats, induced by Isoproterenol (4 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), 10 d, sc), were divided into groups: sham, model, metoprolol (10 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), 13 d, ig), EGb (100 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), 13 d, ig).
RESULTThe cardiac parameters of the Model group were compromised significantly in both systolic and diastolic function. Improvement in cardiac function by EGb was significant. In model groups, plasma activities of AST, LDH, CK, HBDH, CKMB and ventricular weight index (LV and RV/BW) were elevated significantly. With the treatment with EGb and metoprolol, the enzymes and ventricular weight index were significantly ameliorated.
CONCLUSIONG. biloba extract was beneficial to cardiac performance by improving myocardium enzymes and cardiac function in isoproterenol induced myocardial injury in rats.

OBJECTIVETo study the prevalence of cerebral palsy (here in after referred to CP) in children aged 1 - 6 in Guangxi, China, and its epidemiologic characteristics and relevant risk factors.
METHODSInvestigations on the prevalence and etiology of CP in children at ages of 1 - 6 were conducted in Nanning, Hengxian and Qinzhou of Guangxi from June to December in 1998, with a cluster sampling.
RESULTSTotally, 150 806 children aged 1 - 6 were investigated in Nanning, Hengxian and Qinzhou of Guangxi, with 89 418 boys and 61 388 girls. Among them, 193 children were diagnosed as CP, with a prevalence rate of 1.28 per thousand, higher in boys (136 cases, 1.52 per thousand ) than in girls (57 cases, 0.93 per thousand ), with statistical significance (chi(2) = 9.536 7, P = 0.02). Logistic regression analysis showed that risk factors for CP were children who could not cry after birth (neonatal asphyxia), Apgar score less than eight, delivery at lower level of maternity hospital, number of mother's gravidity, no prenatal checks for mothers, and taking antipyretics and preserved food with salt during pregnancy.
CONCLUSIONSPrevalence of CP in children of Guangxi was at a lower level in comparison with that in other areas at home and abroad, which, maybe, was related with the lower neonatal survival and higher infant mortality.
