AIM To study the preparation and stability of sinomenine liposomes. METHODS Taking entrapment efficiency as index, different preparation methods, including thin film dispersion, reverse-phase evaporation, and aether injection were optimized. The leakage rate, the uptake rate and the storage temperature of the liposomes were studied at the same time. RESULTS The entrapment efficiency of reverse-phase evaporation was the lowest as 48.93 % . The entrapment efficiency of thin film dispersion and aether injection were near, as 68.91 T《B》 % and 66.57 % , respectively. CONCLUSION Thin film dispersion has higher entrapment efficiency and low command to the equipment. So it is suitable for the production of sinomenine liposomes on a large scale.

【Objective】To observe the influence of temperature and perfusate modifier on in-vitro mass transfer coefficient of microdialysis with sinomenine as a model drug.【Methods】The in-vitro relative recovery(RR) was assayed by HPLC at different temperatures and in perfusate including different concentrations of alcohol,and then the mass transfer coefficient was calculated.【Results】In-vitro RR increased with the temperature and the concentrations of alcohol,so did the mass transfer coefficient.【Conclusion】Temperature and alcohol at different concentrations have an effect on RR and mass transfer coefficient of microdialysis with sinomenine as a model drug.

METHODS: The transdermal absorption experiment was carried out with Franz diffusion cell and the GM(1,1) was established by accumulation generation operator (AGO). RESULTS: The fitting precision was compared by using mean relative error and grey absolute correlation degree as evaluation criterion. CONCLUSION: The fitting precision of GM(1,1) is as high as acceptable.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome.Methods The clinical,electroencephalography and imaging characteristics,as well as etiology,treatment and prognosis of 4 cases of Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome were retrospectively evaluated,and relevant literature was reviewed to investigate its pathogenesis.Results All the 4 cases presented with hypersalivation,facial diplegia,dysarthria and dysphagia with autonomic-voluntary dissociation.Brain MRI showed bilateral cortical or subcortical lesions in the opercula and perisylvian areas.Three cases were secondary to encephalitis,and 1 case was related to perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.After administration of antiepileptic drugs,they were free of seizures.But all the other symptoms remained.Conclusions Autonomic-voluntary dissociation is a feature of Foix-Chavany-Marie syndrome.Most patients are due to bilateral structural or functional lesions between motor cortices and brain-stem cranial motor nuclei.The prognosis depends on the heterogeneous etiologies,such as encephalitis and cerebrovascular disease.

[Objective] To explore the in-vitro determination method for the recovery rate of sinomenine in microdialysis probe and to investigate the influencing factors. [Methods] The recovery rate of sinomenine was detected by concentration difference method (by gain and by loss) and zero-net flux method. [Results] The recovery rate detected by increment method was as the same as that by decrement method; the recovery rate had no correlation with the sinomenine concentration in the solvent. Sinomenine recovery assessed by concentration difference method had a good intra-day stability and intra-day reproducibility. Sinomenine concentration and recovery in the solvent could be determined accurately by zero-net flux method. [ Conclusion ] Microdialysis sampling can be used for the pharmacokinetic study of sinomenine and decrement method (ie. retrodialysis) can be used for the determination of recovery rate of sinomenine.

Objective To study the effect of skin stratum corneum on transdermal absorption characteristic of Sinomenine Liposome Patch. Methods The normal and stripped stratum corneum skin of back and abdomen was used to study the transdermal absorption characteristic by Franz method. The transdermal absorption sample was taken at the preset sampling time point. The sample content was determined by HPLC. The cumulative transdermal amount of per unit area was fitted with sampling time point, the transdermal rate constant (J value) was selected as comparative standard. Results The transdermal rate constant (J) of skin with stratum corneum stripped increased obviously than that of the normal skin, so was the released rate constant. Conclusion The skin stratum corneum has an notable impact on transdermal absorption characteristic of Sinomenine Liposome Patch. When the skin of experimental animal being prepared, the integrality should be paid more attention.
