Objective To prepare optimization of palonosetron hydrochloride oral disintegrating tablets by orthogonal test. Methods Palonosetron hydrochloride oral disintegrating tablets were prepared with direct compression process.The content of pal-onosetron hydrochloride was determined by HPLC.The formulation was optimized with disintegration time as evaluation indices. Results The optimal formulation(60 mg/tablet)was as follows:L-HPC 12%,mannitol∶SMCC= 2∶1,magnesium stearate 2%, stevia glycosides 3%.The oral disintegrating tablets showed dine appearance and tested better;the disintegration time was 12 sec-onds;the tablets featured a hardness of 3 kg;4 min dissolution rate was 99%.Conclusion The preparation method is simple and reasonable,and the tablets can disintegrate rapidly.

AIM:To reconstruct the tissue engineering blood vessel by using acellular matrix of porcine thoracic aorta tissue as the scaffold, and by inoculability of vascular endothelial cells (EC) from human umbilical cord vein. METHODS: The porcine thoracic aorta was treated with 1% Triton X-100 for preparing acellular vessel matrix, and the mechanical characterization was in succession modified by freeze-drying and thermal cross-linking techniques. Meanwhile, the mechanics capability of the vessel was measured. The endothelial cells isolated from umbilical cord vein were seeded on the acellular matrix scaffolds by tissue culture in vitro. The structure of acellular matrix was analyzed by light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: By treatment with 1% Triton X-100 for 84 h, the cells of thoracic aorta were fully come off and the three-dimensional structure of the matrix still remained. After modification by freeze-drying for 24 h and then thermal cross-linking under vacuum at 120 ℃ for 12 h, the tensile strength of the acellular matrix remarkable increased and reached the maximum breaking strength of 1.70 MPa. It was also showed that cultured endothelial cells grew on the surface of acellular matrix for 7 days and the typical structure of vessel-like intimal formation was observed under scanning electron microscopy. CONCLUSION: The acellular matrix and endothelial cells have favorable compatibility. The modified acellular matrix could be a good candidate scaffold for rebuilding the tissue engineering blood vessel.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness training on the emotional regulation and resilience of college students.Methods:Eighty one college students were recruited and randomly divided into mindfulness training group and control group, of which 74 completed the study (36 in mindfulness training group and 38 in control group). Participants in mindfulness training group received an 8-week mindfulness training, while participants in control group received no intervention. Participants were assessed with the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ, measuring mindfulness level), Profile of Mood State (POMS, measuring emotion) and the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescent(RSCA, measuring resilience) before and after intervention (4 and 8 weeks).Results:Before and after the intervention, the interaction effects of total score of five factors mindfulness, scores of observing, actaware, non-judging, total score of resilience, scores of goal planning, help-seeking and the fatigue score were significant(all P<0.05). There were significant differences in mindfulness level, mood state and resilience scores in mindfulness training group before and after intervention(all P<0.05). There were significant differences of scores of FFMQ , POMS and RSCA post-training compared with baseline( P<0.05). The total score of FFMQ was improved significantly after 4 weeks of intervention ((114.92±11.70) vs(110.36±11.24), P<0.05), while the scores of observing((26.19±5.21) vs(24.00±5.34)), describing((23.36±4.82) vs(21.19±4.76)), non-judging((23.75±4.20) vs(22.06±4.99)) and non-reacting((19.72±3.16) vs(18.58±3.61)) were improved significantly after 8 weeks of intervention. There were significant differences of the scores of fatigue, depression-dejection, panic, vigor-activity and total mood disturbance before and after the intervention in mindfulness training group (all P<0.05). The scores of fatigue((12.31±4.08) vs(13.39±5.12)), panic((12.08±3.57) vs(13.67±4.35)) and total mood disturbance((132.94±17.71) vs(145.75±22.68)) were reduced significantly after 8 weeks of intervention (all P<0.05), while the scores of vigor-activity were improved significantly after 8 weeks of intervention ((18.31±4.61) vs (15.39±4.99), P<0.01). The participants in mindfulness training group got significantly higher total score, scores of goal planning, help-seeking, and affect control of RSCA after intervention compared with baseline (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Mindfulness training can enhance the mindfulness level and resilience of college students, decrease negative affect such as fatigue, depression, panic, and increase positive affect such as activity.

OBJECTIVETo investigate whether hypertension, abnormal lipometabolism, obesity, cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking affect the intracerebral hemorrhagic volumes (IHV) in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SIHP), and to explore the roles of these factors in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SIH).
METHODSFive hundred patients with acute SIH and 200 healthy adult volunteers (HAV) were enrolled in a study of independently randomized controlled design, in which the levels of systolic pressure (SP) and diastolic pressure (DP), and total cholesterol (TCH), triacylglycerols (triglycerides, TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-CH), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-CH) in serum as well as the level of erythrocytic membrane cholesterol (EM-CH) were measured, and the body mass index (BMI), daily cigarette smoking consumption (DCSC) and daily pure alcohol consumption (DPAC) were calculated.
RESULTSCompared with the average parameters in the HAV group, those of SP, DP, TG, LDL-CH and BMI in the SIHP group were significantly increased (P < 0.0001), while those of HDL-CH and EM-CH were significantly decreased (P < 0.0001). The linear regression and correlation analysis showed that with increased SP, DP, LDL-CH, BMI, DCSC, DPAC and aging as well as decreased HDL-CH and EM-CH, the IHV levels in SIHP were increased gradually (P < 0.0001-0.01). The linear stepwise regression analysis suggested that there existed a close correlation among the values of SP, DP, TCH, TG, HDL-CH, LDL-CH, EM-CH, BMI, DCSC, DPAC, age and IHV of the SIH patients, and that Y = -12.4583 + 0.1127SP -1.1977EM-CH + 0.9788LDL-CH + 0.2477BMI + 0.0382DCSC + 0.0248DP, P < 0.0001 approximately 0.05.
CONCLUSIONSThe findings in the present study suggest that significantly increased systolic and diastolic pressure, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, body mass index and daily cigarette smoking consumption, and significantly decreased erythrocytic membrane cholesterol may be likely the main factors affecting intracerebral hemorrhagic volumes in patients with acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.
