AIM: To establish a method to determine the serum concentration of ephedrine,and to study its pharmacokinefics in guinea pig. METHODS: The serum concentration of ephedrine gels transdermal administration in guinea pig were determined by HPLC and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by computer.(RESULTS:)The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.5～2 ?g with r=0.998 0.The limit of identification was 0.02 ?g/mL.The pharmacokinetics behavior of ephedrine showed one order absorption.The main parameters after adminstrition of ephedrine gels and extractum ephedrae gels were as follows:t_(1/2)k_a were 1.362 1 and(l.541 8),t_(1/2)k_e were 2.627 4 and 3.262 2 h,T_(max) were 3.124 3 and 3.440 9 h,C_(max) were 0.115 6 and 0.081 0 ?g/mL,AUC were(0.081 0) and 0.741 5 ?g?h/mL. CONCLUSION: Ephedrine shows a fast rate of absorption in guinea pig,serum concentration of ephedrine is stable and lasting potency,and indicates the reason of transdennal administration of Herba Ephedrae preparation.

Objective To investigate the pathological changes of cardiac collagen in the elderly patients with hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy(LVH)and the difference of collagen among the groups of essential hypertension(EH),diabetes (T2DM) under the condition of the same stage,providing pathological foundation of clinical treatment for curing diseases and the early heart protection.Methods A retrospective study was performed in 140 cases over 65 years old of EH and normal cases as control out of 3520 consecutive autopsied cases from 1954 to 2001 in Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) General Hospital.The pathological changes of collagen were studied with hematoxylin and eosion(HE) staining,Sirius Red F3B (SR)and immunohistochemistry staining.Myocardial interstital collagen deposition was observed with light microscope and polarization technique.Quantitative measurements on the myocardial collagen volume fraction (CVF),CVFS of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ,and the rate of collagen type Ⅰ to type Ⅲ (Ⅰ/Ⅲ) were determined with videodensitometry.Results The CVF(6.32％ ± 0.92％) and CVF Ⅰ (5.93％ ± 0.94％)were increased significantly in EH LVH Ⅰ group (P ＜0.01) ; but,CVF Ⅲ (2.23％ ±0.38％) and Ⅰ/Ⅲ (2.69 ±0.42) did not change significantly in EH Ⅰ group compared with the control group; The changes in the aforementioned four items were increased significantly in EH LVH Ⅱ and EH LVH Ⅲ groups (P ＜0.01)compared with the control group.The CVF and CVF-Ⅰ were decreased significantly(P ＜ 0.01) ; but CVF-Ⅲ and Ⅰ/Ⅲ did not change significantly in DM LVH-I group compared with the EH LVH-I group; the CVF(4.23％ ± 0.69％) and CVF-Ⅰ (3.92％ ±0.40％) were decreased significantly(P ＜0.01); but CVF-Ⅲ(1.79％ ±0.21％) and Ⅰ/Ⅲ (2.20 ±0.20) did not change significantly in DM LVH-Ⅰ group compared with the EH LVH-Ⅰ group.Conclusions (1)The myocardial stiffness and the reduction of cardiac diastolic function deteriorated most with the development of LVH.(2)Under the condition of the same stage,the myocardial stiffness and the reduction of cardiac diastolic function deteriorated seriously in EH groups,diabetes patients,myocardial stiffness and the reduction of cardiac diastolic function deteriorated slightly.

BACKGROUND:Liver fibrosis is a kind of chronic and active disease that is caused by various causes and characterized by the excessive accumulation of extracelular matrix. At present, use of Chinese herbs for the treatment of hepatic fibrosis has obvious advantages. Salvia miltiorrhiza has been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of hepatic fibrosis. However, the underlying mechanism needs further investigation. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of TanshinoneⅡA on the expression levels of transforming growth factor-β/Smads signaling pathway related factors transforming growth factor-β, bone morphogenetic protein 7, Smad6 and Smad7 in the liver tissue of rats with hepatic fibrosis. METHODS:SD rats were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10): normal control, model and TanshinoneⅡA-treated groups. Rats in the model and TanshinoneⅡA-treated groups were subtaneously injected with olive oil-diluted 10% CCl4 ( 5 mL/kg) twice a week, 8 weeks in total, to build rat models of hepatic fibrosis. Four weeks after hepatic fibgrosis induction, rats in the TanshinoneⅡA-treated group received subtaneous injection of TanshinoneⅡA til eight weeks. Rats in the normal control group were subcutaneously injected with olive oil. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Western blotting and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection showed that in the model group, the expression of transforming growth factor-β in the rat liver tissue was significantly increased (P < 0.01) and the expression of bone morphogenetic protein-7, Smad6 and Smad7 was significantly decreased (P < 0.01) compared with the normal control group. TanshinoneⅡA could obviously reverse the expression of those factors above-mentioned (P < 0.01). The results suggest that TanshinoneⅡA can be used for treatment of hepatic fibrosis by decreasing the expression of transforming growth factor-β and increasing the expression of bone morphogenetic protein-7, Smad6 and Smad7.

Objective To investigate the influence of pregnancy on the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from mouse peripheral blood neutrophils (PMN),the levels of NO and cytokines from serum,the activation of T lymphocytes,and initially find the immune regulation effects of pregnancy on the mouse peripheral blood lymphocytes.Methods Take the BALB/c mice which were at the mid trimester of pregnancy (day 14) as the object,full blood staining using ROS probe 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA) combing with flow cytometry was used to test the levels of ROS from PMN.The production of NO from peripheral blood serum were analyzed by Griess kit while the soluble cytokines interleukin (IL) 6,IL-10,monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1),interferon γ (IFN-γ),tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and IL-12 were detected by liquid protein quantitative technology cytometric bead array (CBA) using flow cytometry.The activation of peripheral blood lymphocytes at early,middle and later phases which marked with CD69,CD25 and CD71 respectively were tested by flow cytometry and two-color fluorescent staining.Results Comparing to the normal non-pregnant mouse,pregnancy obviously promoted the production of ROS from PMN (101.1 ± 2.2 versus 134.5 ± 10.3,P ＜ 0.05).Comparing to the normal non-pregnant mouse,pregnancy obviously promoted the secretion of NO [(22.7 ± 0.7) versus (36.3 ±1.2) μmol/L,P ＜0.01].In normal non-pregnant mouse,the serum levels of IL-6,IL-10,MCP-1,IFN-γ,TNF-αandlL-12were (9.3±0.5),(26.7±0.9),(21.2±1.6),(14.5 ±1.8),(22.6±1.6) and (8.4 ± 1.2) pg/ml,while in pregnancy group the levels were (26.5 ± 1.0),(40.4 ± 2.5),(25.1 ±0.7),(457.4 ± 17.9),(93.2 ± 4.3) and (7.5 ± 0.9) pg/ml correspondingly ; the levels of IL-6,IFN-γ,TNF-α from peripheral blood serum (P ＜ 0.01),while had no effects on the production of IL-10 and MCP-1 (P ＞ 0.05).About the CD3+ T lymphocytes activation,in normal non-pregnant mouse,the CD69,CD25 and CD71 expression rate were (0.43 ±0.15)％,(5.13 ±0.25)％ and (0.37 ±0.11)％,while in pregnancy group the CD69,CD25 and CD71 expression rate were (0.40 ±0.10)％,(6.17 ±0.40)％ and (6.10 ±0.31)％.The levels of middle and later phases markers as CD25 and CD71 were highly up-regulated (P ＜ 0.05),while the early phase action CD69 had no obvious variation (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The mid trimester of pregnancy promoted the production of ROS from PMN,the levels of NO,IL-6,IFN-γ,TNF-αfrom peripheral blood serum,and the middle-and later-phase activation of T lymphocytes.
