Aim To investigate the combined pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic(PK-PD) model of irbesartan in healthy Chinese male volunteers. Methods Eighteen healthy male volunteers received 300 mg irbesartan tablet orally. The plasma drug concentration (C_p) was determined by HPLC and pharmacologic effects, including SBP, DBP and HR, were measured simultaneously. The pharmakinetic and PK-PD model parameters were calculated. Results The pharmacokinetic profiles were best fitted a two-compartment open model. There was a hysteresis loop between effects and plasma concentrations. The relationship between effects and effect compartment concentrations of drugs could be represented by the Sigmoid-E_ max model. Conclusion We successfully eatablished the PK-PD model of irbesartan in healthy male volunteers. These findings may provide a more rational basis for patient-specific dosage individualization.

Objective To investigate the changes of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) complicated by myocardial ischemic injury. Methods Forty neonates with HIE ( 16 cases with concurrent myocardial injury and 24 cases without) were enrolled. Twenty healthy neonates were used as control. Plasma NT-proBNP levels were measured using enzyme immunoassay. Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography. Results ( 1 ) The mean plasma NT-proBNP levels in patients with myocardial injury[(350 ± 56) pmol/L]were significantly higher than those in patients without myocardial injury[(135 ± 37 ) pmol/L]and in the control group [(117 ±23) pmol/L](P <0. 05). (2) The NT-proBNP levels in mild,moderate and severe HIE neonates were ( 132 ±34) pmol/L, (247 ±43) pmol/L and (343 ±53) pmol/L. Compared with the control group,the NT-proBNP levels in the neonates with moderate and severe HIE significantly increased. There were significant differences in the NT-proBNP levels among the mild, moderate and severe HIE neonates ( P < 0. 05 ).(3) In patients with myocardial injury,the NT-proBNP levels significantly decreased in the convalescent phase [(250±78) pmol/L]compared with those in the acute phase[(350±56) pmol/L](P <0.05). (4) The NT-proBNP levels were significantly related with left ventricular ejection fraction. Conclusion Plasma NT-proBNP levels increase in neonates with HIE complicated with myocardial ischemic injury in the acute phase.Detection of NT-proBNP levels maybe useful in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemic injury and severe HIE.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the protective effect of 1, 3-dicyclopentyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4, 5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester (ZL-5015) on lethal endotoxin-challenged mice and to explore the underlying mechanism. METHODS:Mouse model of lethal endotoxin challenge and endotoxemia were established by intraperitoneal administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at a dose of 70 mg/kg to the C57BL/6J mice.Mouse peritoneal macrophages stimulated with LPS (10 mg/L) were used as an in vitro inflammatory model.The levels of interleukin-1β( IL-1β) , interleukin-10 ( IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Real-time PCR was used to evaluate the mRNA expression of the cytokines.RESULTS:Prophylactic treatment of the mice with ZL-5015 (100 and 200 mg/kg, ig) slightly increased the survival rate, extended the survival time, decreased the serum levels of IL-1βand TNF-α, and increased the serum level of IL-10 in the early stage of endotoxemia as compared with model group.The results of in vitro study demonstrated that treatment of the endotoxin-stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages with ZL-5015 (10, 20 and 40μmol/L) inhibited the expression of IL-1βand TNF-αat both mRNA and protein levels but promoted the expression of IL-10 at both mRNA and protein levels.CONCLUSION: The tetrahydropyrimidine derivative ZL-5015 shows a moderate anti-endotoxin effect by increasing the survival rate and extending the survival time of the mice challenged by endotoxin, which may result from inhibition of the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1βand TNF-α, and promotion of the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10.
