Objective:To study the effect of mesalazine hydroxyl-propyl-β-cyclodextrin inclusion compound ( MSZ-HP-β-CD) liq-uid suppositories on ulcerative colitis ( UC) in rats. Methods:Dextran sulfate sodium was used to induce UC in rats. The marketed MSZ suppositories were applied as the positive control, and the changes in morphology and histopathology of the UC rats were observed after the treatment with MSZ-HP-β-CD liquid suppositories. Results:The results of morphology study showed that CMDI was decreased in the two MSZ preparation groups when compared with that in the model group (P<0. 01), and that in MSZ-HP-β-CD liquid supposi-tories group was the lowest (P<0. 05). The results of histopathology study showed that with the treatment of the marketed MSZ sup-positories and MSZ-HP-β-CD liquid suppositories, the ulcer and damage were improved, and the improvement in the MSZ-HP-β-CD liquid suppositories group was more significant. Conclusion: MSZ-HP-β-CD liquid suppositories exhibit better effect on UC in rats when compared with the marketed MSZ suppositories, which is worthy of further studies.

AIM To prepare the chrysin-phospholipid complex and to investigate its pharmacokinetic behaviors.METHODS Solvent evaporation method was used for preparing the complex.With preparation temperature,preparation time,chrysin concentration and drug-lipid ratio (chrysin-phospholipid) as influencing factors,together with recombination rate as an evaluation index,the preparation was optimized by orthogonal test.The obtained complex was analyzed by X-ray diffraction,differential scanning calorimetry,1H-NMR and 31P-NMR,whose solubility was examined as well.SD rats were intragastrically administered with chrysin and its phospholipid complex,respectively.The blood concentration of chrysin was detected by HPLC,after which the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated.RESULTS The optimal conditions were determined to be 40 ℃ for preparation temperature,2 h for preparation time,20 mg/mL for chrysin concentration,and 1 ∶ 2 for drug-lipid ratio,the recombination rate was close to 100%.Chrysin existed in an amorphous state in the phospholipid complex,which was a new phase rather than physical mixture (chrysin-phosphatidylcholine),and no new chemical bond was generated.Phospholipid complex could significantly increase chrysin's apparent solubility in water and n-octanol,the Cmax,AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ were also obviously increased as compared with raw medicine.CONCLUSION Phospholipid complex can improve both the solubility of chrysin and its oral bioavailability.

Objective To explore the clinical value of serum procalcitonin (PCT)-based antibiotic therapy in the second-classedexacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods 240 patients diagnosised as AECOPD were randomized to the PCT group and the control group. Serum PCT levels of patients from the PCT group were measured 1 h after hospitalized and the third, fifth, eighth day respectively. When PCT < 0.1 μg / L, patients will stop taking antibiotics and initiated while PCT≥0.1 μg / L. Antibiotic treatment in the control group was based on guidelines of COPD diagnosis and treatment. Results Duration of antibiotic therapy and hospitalization were respectively 5.6 ± 1.4 and 8.2 ± 1.1 days in the PCT group, 9.2 ± 2.2 and 11.4 ± 2.5 days in the control group (both P < 0.05). Mean costs of hospitalization expensesand antibiotic therapy were 5700 ± 201 and 1650 ± 189) yuan in the PCT group, 6210 ± 220 and 2350 ± 210 yuan in the control group (both P < 0.05). The clinical effective rate, times of exacerbation, one-year ΔFEV1, the 1-year hospitalization rate and time to next exacerbation all showed no significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion PCT-guided antibiotic treatment reduces antibiotic use inthe second-classed acute exacerbations patients.

Background Lipid metabolism imbalance is tightly linked to the development and progression of multiple diseases. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) signaling pathway is important for the regulation of lipid metabolism. However, whether silicosis is associated with lipid metabolic abnormalities has yet to be explored. Objective To observe the changes of lipid deposition, cholesterol, and phosphorylated proteins of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in silicon dioxide (SiO2)-induced MLE-12 cells and to explore potential mechanism of lipid composition regulated though the pathway. Methods (1) MLE-12 cells were stimulated with 50 mg·L−1 SiO2 suspension, and divided into fourgroups: a control group and three SiO2 groups (12, 24, and 48 h of stimulation). (2) Cellproliferation was detected to determine an optimal dose of LY294002, an inhibitor of PI3K protein. LY294002 at 5 μmol·L−1 was used for further study, in which MLE-12 cells cultured for 48 h were divided into four groups: a control group; a 50 mg·L−1 SiO2 suspension stimulation group; a 50 mg·L−1 SiO2 suspension and 5 μmol·L−1 LY294002 treatment group; a 5 μmol·L−1 LY294002 treatment group. Total cholesterol (TC), free cholesterol (FC), cholesterol ester (CE; total cholesterol minus free cholesterol), and triglycerides (TG) were measured with enzyme assay kits. Lipid deposition was observed using Oil Red O staining. The expressions of p-PI3K, p-AKT, and p-mTOR proteins were detected by Western blotting. Results (1) The contents of TC, FC, and CE in the 50 mg·L−1 SiO2-induced MLE-12 cells were increased compared to those of the control group in a time-dependent manner by trend analysis, and the increment at 24 and 48 h were significant. By 48 h, the contents of cholesterol indicators were all elevated: TC from (2.242±0.181) mg·g−1 to (5.148±0.544) mg·g−1, FC from (1.923±0.158) mg·g−1 to (4.168±0.433) mg·g−1, and CE from (0.318±0.067) mg·g−1 to (0.978±0.134) mg·g−1, compared with the control group (P<0.01). The changes of TG were not significant (P>0.05). The SiO2 suspension induced orange-red particle deposition in the MLE-12 cells, especially at 48 h (P<0.01). The protein expression levels of p-PI3K, p-AKT, and p-mTOR in SiO2-stimulated MLE-12 cells were higher than those of the control groups with the prolongation of stimulation time, which peaked at 48 h (P<0.01). (2) The contents of TC, FC, and CE in MLE-12 cells of the SiO2 + LY294002 group were decreased, comparing to those of the SiO2 stimulation only group (P<0.01), companied with less orange-red lipid deposition, and suppressed protein expression levels of p-PI3K, p-AKT, and p-mTOR (P<0.01). Conclusion SiO2 could induce increases of cholesterol and lipid deposition through activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in MLE-12 cells.
