To discuss the availability of evaluation on the dissolution studies of the multicomponents in traditional Chinese medicine, the in vitro dissolution of total composition of the tablet of rhizomes of Ligusticum chuanxiong components and its correlation with the in vivo were studied by the method of area under the absorbance-wavelength curve (AUAWC). Taken the tablet of rhizomes of Ligusticum chuanxiong components which is composed of sodium ferulate and ligustrazine hydrochloride as subject model, the dissolution tests were carried out with basket method. The plasma concentrations of tablets in different rats were determined by AUAWC at different interval times. The in vivo absorption percentage was calculated by Wagner-Nelson equation to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo correlation. According to the results, the cumulative dissolution in vitro of total composition of tablets of rhizomes of Ligusticum chuanxiong components at 60 min was 90.65% in water by AUAWC. The in vivo pharmacokinetics is fitted with an one-compartment model. The linear equation based on the cumulative dissolution rate (fr) and absorption percentage (fa) at 5, 10, 20, 30 and 60 min was fa = 0.819 7 fr+0.183 and the correlation coefficient was 0.959 5, which showed a good correlation between the in vitro dissolution and the in vivo absorption percentage. The method of AUAWC can be used accurately, feasibly and conveniently to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo correlation of total composition of tablets of rhizomes of Ligusticum chuanxiong components, which will provide better guidance to study the in vitro and in vivo correlation of sustained release preparation etc under complex system of traditional Chinese medicine in the future.

Objective To determine the effects of Che A and CheY proteins of Campylobacter jejuni regulating the bacterial chemotaxis in vitro and colonization in vivo. Methods By using pET42a plasmid and E. coli BL21DE3 as expression vector and expression strain, respectively, prokaryotic expression systems of cheA and cheY genes of C. jejuni strain NCTC11168 was constructed. Rabbits were immunized with the target recombinant expression proteins, rCheA and rCheY, to prepare the antisera. rCheA-IgG and rCheY-IgG in the antisera were separated using DEAE-52 ion exchange column. pBluescript- II -SK was applied to construct suicide plasmid which used to generate cheA gene knock-out mutant (cheA-). A chemotaxis model in vitro of C. jejuni based on DOC-HAP, the chemotactic ability of cheA' mutant as well as the effect of rCheA-IgG and closantel inhibiting the bacterial chemotaxis were demonstrated. The phosphorylation levels of CheA and CheY after DOC treatment were examined by using either rCheA-IgG or CheY-IgG capture method. The difference of colonization ability between cheA- mutant and wild-type of C. jejuni in mice were checked and then compared. Results The constructed prokaryotic expression systems could efficiently express rCheA and rCheY. The data from PCR and sequencing confirmed the cheA gene knock out from cheA- mutant chromosome. cheA- mutant lost its chemotactic ability towards DOC. Both the rCheA-IgG and closantel could inhibit the chemotaxis of wild-type of C. jejuni (P < 0.05 ). When treatment of DOC, the phosphorylation levels of CheA and CheY in wild-type of C. jejuni rapidly decreased (P < 0. 05 ). The colonization ability in murine jejunum of cheA- mutant was also lower than that of the wild-type ( P<0.05 ) . Conclusion Chemotaxis-associated two-component signaling system (Che-TCSS) of C. jejuni are composed of CheA and CheY, and the two proteins are activated by dephosphorylation. CheA in the Che-TCSS play a critical role in chemotaxis in vitro and colonization in vivo of C. jejuni, and this protein can be used as a target for developing novel anti- C. jejuni drugs.

[18F]6-fluoro-3, 4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine([18F]F-DOPA)has been used as a radiotracer for Parkinson′s disease over 30 years. The previously reported electrophilic synthesis method has low radiochemical yield(RCY), low specific activity(SA)and other defects. Recent reported nucleophilic synthesis of [18F]F-DOPA could overcome the disadvantages. In this paper, the nucleophilic synthetic methods for [18F]F-DOPA are reviewed.

The human serum proteome is closely associated with the state of the body. Endogenous peptides derived from proteolytic enzymes cleaving on serum proteins are widely studied due to their potential application in disease-specific marker discovery. However, the reproducibility of peptidome analysis of endogenous peptides is significantly influenced by the proteolytic enzymes within body fluids, thereby limiting the clinical use of the endogenous peptides. We comprehensively investigated the N and C terminus of endogenous peptides using peptidomics. The cleavage site patterns of the N and C terminus and adjacent sites from all the identified endogenous peptides were highly conserved under different sample preparation conditions, including long-term incubation at 37°C and pretreatment with repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Furthermore, a distinguishable cleavage site pattern was obtained when a different disease serum was analyzed. The conserved cleavage site pattern derived from proteolytic enzymes holds potential in highly specific disease diagnosis.
