OBJECTIVE: To prepare and establish a release rate method for the determination of ganciclovir lung-targeted microcapsules.METHODS: The microcapsules were prepared by compound emulsion-dispersion solvent evaporation method.The in vitro drug release amount and release rate of the microcapsules were detected by UV spectrophotometry.RESULTS: The microcapsules were regular in shape with an average particle size of 13.87 ?m.The linear range of ganciclovir was 2～20 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 9) and its average recovery was 99.96%(RSD=1.68%).The entrapment efficiency of the microcapsules was 63.85% and the drug release amount in vitro reached 40% in 24 hours.CONCLUSIONS: The microcapsules show significant sustained release character.

Objective To investigate the effects of panax notoginseng saponins(PNS) on the expression of IL-10 and TNF-α in the brain after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats,and the mechanism was explored.Methods 30 male adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group,ischemia-reperfusion group and PNS treatment group,10 rats in each group.The middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) was established with ischemia-reperfusion group.The rats received continuous gastric lavage for 4 weeks,who were observed for 3 days and then killed to the detect the expression of IL-10 and TNF-αin ischemic region by ELISA,immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR.The behavioral ability score in rats were tested.Results Compared with the sham-operation group and ischemia-reperfusion group,the expression of IL-10 was increased,while the expression of TNF-α was decreased significantly in PNS treatment group,behavior score of PNS treatment group increased significantly than that of ischemia-reperfusion group.Conclusion The panax notoginseng saponins can reduce the neurons injury after focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats partly by regulating the expression of IL-10 and TNF-α in the brain.

The technology of processing carbonized Cephalanoplos segetum was optimized by using orthogonal experiment design. Results showed that the best way is to stir-fry in a pan for 5 min at 210℃. The contents of trace. elements in the prepared specimen were found to be significantly increased.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of gasless laparoscopy for totally extraperitoneal(TEP) hernia repair.Methods Between April and August 2007,totally 82 patients with inguinal hernia received TEP in our hospital,in 30 of them the surgery was completed with gasless laparoscopy,while in the other 52,pneumoperitoneum was used for the operation.The operation time,medical cost,hospital stay,complications,and follow-up data of the two groups were compared.Results The gasless group had a longer operation time [(65.3?19.4) min vs(43.6?21.9) min,t=4.501,P=0.000],but less medical cost [(6186.7?1283.7) RMB vs(8391.8?850.8) RMB,t=-9.347,P=0.000].No significantly difference was observed in the hospital stay and rate of complications between the two groups [(2.1?0.8) d vs(1.8?0.9) d,t=1.513,P=0.134;and 6.7%(2/30) vs 5.8%(3/52),?2=0.027,P=0.870].Conclusion Gasless laparoscopy is effective and safe for totally extraperitoneal(TEP) hernia repair.

Objective To explore the effect of Feier Recuperates Fluid on lipid metablism, fat weight, fatty cell shape. Method Trophism fat rat model was induced by feeding hyperalimentation feedstuff for six weeks in infancy rat. Drugs were administered orally after two week for four weeks. The cholesterol total (TC), triglyceride total (TG) and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) contents in the serum were determined. Fat weight was weighted. Number and diameter of fat cells were observed. Result Feier Recuperates Fluid (63.0 g/kg) could reduce fat weight, TC and TG contents, and increase HDL-C. Feier Recuperates Fluid could decrease diameter of fat cells, and increase fat cells number slightly. Conclusion Feier Recuperates Fluid could improve markedly lipid metablism of trophism fat rat.
