Novel method of enantioseparation of ofloxacin by capillary electrophoresis with capactively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C~4D) using binary chiral selectors,hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose ( HP-β-CD and HPMC) ,was developed. The enantiomers of ofloxacin were baseline separated with an uncoated fused-silica capillary(45 cm×50 m i. d. ,L_(effi) = 40 cm)under the optimum separate conditions, 20 mmol/L HAc +6 mmol/L NaAc + 12 mg/L HPMC +35 mmol/L HP-β-CD,separation voltage +13 kV,electrokinetic injection 11 kV×10 s. The calibration curve of the enantiomers showed good linearity in the range from 0. 8 mg/L to 40 mg/L with LOD =0. 3 mg/L. Effects of several factors on resolutions,such as the composition of the running buffer,the pH value,separation voltage,injection method and the parameters of C~4D detector,were investigated. The efficacy of the HP-β-CD and HPMC were discussed. The proposed method has been successfully applied to monitor the enantiomer of ofloxacin contents in the commercial Ofloacin Tablets and Levofloxacin Hydrochloride Tablets,and was demonstrated simple,rapid and reproducible.

Objective To investigate the renal expression of stem cell factor (SCF) in lupus nephritis (LN) and its correlation with disease activity and renal injury parameters. Methods Histochemical stain was used to examine all renal specimens (LN group n=34, chronic glomerulonephritis n=16, control group n=8). Hyhridization in situ and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of SCF and infiltration of mast cells, macrophages , α-SMA (+) cells in renal tissues of the two groups. SPS software was used for tissue of the control group. However, they increased markedly in lupus nephritis and CGN (t=6.03~14.25, P< 0.01). But there was no significant difference between LN and CGN in SCF and mast cells in renal interstitium. Positive correlation was observed among the expression of SCF and α-SMA and the number of mast cells and macrophages (r=0.47~0.84, P<0.01) at their corresponding locations. The expression of SCF and ot-SMA and the number of macruphages were positively correlated with renal pathological active index, chronic index, albuminuria and the injury of renal interstitium (r=0.34~0.93, P<0.05 or 0.01); meanwhile, it was negatively correlated with Ccr(r=-0.39~0.61, P<0.01). There was significant correlation between SCF, macrophages and anti-dsDNA antibody, complement C3 level, SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI). The number of mast cells in renal interstitium was positively correlated with chronic indexes and the injury of renal interstitium (r=-0.86, r=0.93, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with Ccr (r=-0.56, P<0.01), but not correlated with active index and albuminuria (r=0.27, r=0.23, P>0.05). Conclusion The expression of SCF is widespread in kidney, and it is markedly eorrelated with various kinds of inflammatory cells, renal inherent cells, renal function, and urine protein levels. SCF may be an critical participant in the initiation and progression of renal injuries in human lupus nephritis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of combination of triptolide and irbesartan on the podocytes in a type 2 diabetic(T2DM) rat model,and evaluate its mechanism.Methods T2DM rats were induced by fed with high-sucrose-high-fat diet combined with a low dose of streptozocin.The rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal control group ( NC,n =10),diabetes group ( DM,n =11),triptolide treatment group (DT,n =12),irbesartan treatment group (DI,n =12) and triptolide combined with irbesartan treatment group (DTI,n =13). Ultrastructure of podocytes was observed by electronic microscopy and urinary albumin (UAL) excretion by ELISA was determined after 8 weeks.The expression of nephrin and bone morphogenetic protein-7(BMP-7), connective tissue growth factor (CTGF),transforming growth factor (TGF)β1 mRNA and proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry,real-time PCR and Western blot. Results Increased UAL was significantly attenuated in all treatment groups.Compared to NC group,UAL in DM group was increased significantly (0.45 ± 0.09 vs 6.36 ± 0.87,P < 0.01 ),while decreased in triptolide or irbesartan alone treatment group (2.48 ± 0.37 and 2.68 ±0.42,both P < 0.01 ).Compared with those in control groups,kidney expression of nephrin,BMP-7 mRNA and proteins were downregulated while CTGF, TGFβ1 mRNA and proteins were significantly upregulated in T2DM rats. Triptolide or irbesartan each alone moderately ameliorated albuminuria and podocyte damage.However,their combined usage showed a dramatic therapeutic synergism,manifested by prevention of progressive albuminuria,restoration of the glomerular filtration barrier,reversal of the decline in slit diaphragm proteins,reduction expression of CTGF,TGFβ1,and upregulation of BMP-7.Conclusion Our findings show that triptolide can increase the efficacy of irbesartan,leading to a more effective prevention of kidney disease in T2DM rat model,which may through upregulation of BMP-7 and inhibition the overexpression of CTGF and TGFβ1.
