The combined use of chemometrics and chemiluminescence (CL) measurements,with the aid of the stoppedflow mixing technique,developed a simple time-resolved CL method for the simultaneous determination of captopril (CPL) and hydrochlorothiazide (HCT).The stopped-flow technique in a continuous-flow system was employed in this work in order to emphasize the kinetic differences between the two analytes in cerium (Ⅳ)-rhodamine 6G CL system.After the flow was stopped,an initial rise of CL signal was observed for HCT standards,while a direct decay of CL signal was obtained for CPL standards.The mixed CL signal was monitored and recorded on the whole process of continuousflow/stopped-flow,and the obtained data were processed by the chemometric approach of artificial neural network.The relative prediction error (RPE) of CPL and HCT was 5.9% and 8.7%,respectively.The recoveries of CPL and HCT in tablets were found to fall in the range between 95% and 106%.The proposed method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of CPL and HCT in a compound pharmaceutical formulation.

Objective To evaluate the preclinical safety of 2-methoxyestradiol nanosuspension. Methods The safety of 2-methoxyestradiol nanosuspension for injection was observed through vascular stimulation test of the ear vein on rabbits, hemolytic test using rabbit erythrocytes, active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) test on guinea pigs and acute toxicity test on mice. Results 2-Methoxyestradiol nanosuspension injection had no irritating effects on vessels, and no haemocytolysis, agglutination and ASA occurred.ASA test showed no allergy symptoms such as piloerection, nose rubbing and dyspnea in guinea pigs 30 min after sensitization.Acute toxicity test revealed that no pathological changes, including black spots and hyperaemia, were visually observed on the heart, liver and lungs after 14 days of intravenous administration. Conclusion 2-Methoxyestradiol nanosuspension injection is relatively safe, with low toxicity, and no hemolytic, anaphylactic and irritating effects. It may be clinically used for injection.

Objective:
To express envelope protein of ZIKA virus in baculovirus expression system.
Methods:
Full-length E gene of ZIKA virus was obtained by DNA synthesis and inserted into vector pFastBac1. The constructed recombinant baculovirus transfer vector pFB1-E was transformed to competent DH10Bac cells. The obtained skeleton plasmid rBacmid-E was transfected to sf9 cells, and the constructed recombinant baculovirus rBac-E was determined for titer, for insertion of E gene by PCR, and for expression of E protein by IFA and Western blotting.
Results:
PCR proved that skeleton plasmid rBacmid-E was constructed correctly. The titer of rBac-E of passage 3 was 2.58×105pfu/ml. The genome of infected cells virus was extracted, the gene band at length of 3 830 bp was observed after PCR amplification. Indirect immunofluorescence of the infected cells showed the specific green fluorescence, 55×103specific band was determined by Western blotting identification in the cell pellet of the infected recombinant baculovirus rBac-E.
Conclusions
The recombinant baculovirus with E gene of ZIKA virus was successfully constructed, which laid a foundation of further study on the function of E protein and the vaccine of ZIKA virus.
