China Pharmacy 2001;0(07):-
OBJECTIVE:To study the counteraction of melatonin(MT)on the oxidative damage model of brain tissues of mice caused by glutamic acid.METHODS:The mice were randomly divided into blank group,model group and melatonin(MT)(high dosage and low dosage)group.Drugs were injected(by intraperitoneal injection)into the mice of the MT group in advance for7days.Each group were injected with glutamic acid through lateral ventricle to form models,levels of MDA and GSH and the activity of GSH-PX of each group were determined.RESULTS:There was a significant increase in the level of MDA(P

OBJECTIVE:To study the inhibitory effect of melatonin(MT)on the increased influx of Ca 2+ induced by L-glutamate in cultured rat neurons.METHODS:Fura-2/AM,a Ca 2+ sensitive fluorescent indicator was used to load the brain cells isolated from new-born rats,and the intracellular dissociative Ca 2+ concentration(〔Ca 2+ 〕i)was measured with fluores?cence-spectrophotometer.RESULTS:The L-glutamate of concentration500?mol/L could markedly promote the influx of Ca 2+ and intracellular free Ca 2+ concentration(P

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the rational drug use condition in Shenzhen area and to promote the rational drug use level. METHODS: A multi-center randomized parallel test was conducted in 6 different levels of hospitals in Shenzhen area. In which the prescriptions in two months and the outpatients visiting the hospitals on that day were surveyed on the spot in respect of the international rational drug use (RDU) indicators then the data were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: Prescription indicators were as follows: the average number of drugs was 2.44; the percentage of antibiotics prescribed was 43.7%and that for injection was 22.3%. Patient care indicators were as follows: the average consultation time was 6.97 minutes; average dispensing time was 16.77 seconds; percentage of drugs actually dispensed was 100%; percentage of drugs actually labeled was 100%; percentage of patients’ knowledge of correct use of drugs was 96.5%. CONCLUSIONS: The rational drug use level in Shenzhen area is still low and problematic and the care given by doctors and pharmacists to the patients is insufficient, which remain to be improved and tackled.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare diclofenac sodium controlled release pellets and investigate the mechanism of re?lease.METHODS:Single-factor method was used to investigate the influence of the composition of solvent system in coating solution,the concentration of coating material,porogenic agent and plastifier on the release rate of drug.RESULTS:When the concentration of coating material and the proportion of water increased,the release rate of pellets was increased;the release rate was further increased with PVP K30 added.CONCLUSION:The pellets belongs to the matrix-coating pellets,and the release mechanism varies with the change of coating thickness.
