Objective:To study the molecular composition of bismuth potassium citrate. Methods:The content of bismuth was de-termined using a volumetric method, the content of potassium was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry, and the content of cit-rate root was determined by ion chromatography. The structure was predicted using 1 HNMR and the crystal structure was studied using X-diffraction test and scanning electron microscopy. The changes in the percentage ratio of the three components were investigated by accelerated stability tests. Results:On the dried basis, the percentage of the three molecular components was bismuth of 35%-38%, potassium of 7%-11% and root citrate of 49%-52%. The NMR spectra and the data indicated that the product had three isomers with the molecular structure of bismuth∶potassium∶root citrate=2∶2∶2. The X-diffraction test and SEM showed that the three forms of amor-phous, monocrystalline and polycrystalline might exist. The percentage ratio of the three elements before and after the stability test was basically stable. Conclusion:Bismuth potassium citrate may have three crystal forms with the percentage of the three structure parts within a certain range, and the structure is relatively stable.

This study was aimed to optimize the hydrolysis conditions of Coix prolamin, which occupied the highest content in total protein of it, and then evaluate the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of the corresponding hydrolysates. Pepsin was used to hydrolyze prolamin and OPA method was applied to determine the degree of hydrolysis. The optimum conditions of hydrolyzing prolamin were obtained by orthogonal design subse-quently. The ACE inhibitory activity of small molecular weight (less than 3 kD) peptides gained by ultrafiltration of the hydrolysates was assayed by RP-HPLC method. The result showed that the optimized hydrolysis conditions were substrate concentration of 1%, enzyme-to-substrate ratio of 1:5 and hydrolysis duration for 48 h. The hydrolysates exhibited an ACE inhibitory ratio of (83.40 ± 0.93)% at the concentration of 0.1 mg·mL-1. It was concluded that prolamin hydrolysates displayed a high ACE inhibitory activity in vitro, which provided guidance for further research of antihypertensive component and development of functional food from Coix.

Background and purpose: The literature on dose-volume parameters and pneumonitis is extensive. The results are inconsistent, both for the best predictive metrics and significant comorbid factors. This study aimed to investigate a prospective functional equivalent uniform dose (fEUD) with perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images as predictors of radiation pneumonitis (RP) in patients undergoing curative radiotherapy (RT). Methods: Functional lung imaging was performed using SPECT for perfusion imaging. Perfusion factors were defined as the mean percentile perfusion levels of the 4 areas, top to 75%, 75% to 50%, 50% to 25%, 25% to 0%, re-spectively. fEUD was calculated from perfusion factors and standard dose-volume parameters extracted from treatment planning computed tomography (CT) scans. Total lung (TL), ipsilateral (IL) and contralateral lung (CL) volumes minus gross tumor volume (GTV), whole-lung V5, V20, whole lung fEUD, IL and CL fEUD, and general equivalent uniform dose (gEUD) were analyzed to evaluate correlations between RP using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Statistical significance was defined as P<0.05. Results: A total of 15 patients treated with intensity modulated RT or 3D conformal RT were analyzed, grades≥3 RP were observed in 6 patients. There was only a trend toward significance for unilateral (UL) fEUD of higher dose side (P=0.007). Whole-lung V5, V20 were almost identical between patients who developed pneumonitis and patients who did not, as the values were below the recommended thresholds from published papers. Unilateral fEUDs were linear with unilateral gEUDs (t=0.815, P=0.000). Conclusion: SPECT-based equivalent uniform dose appears to be a better predictor of RP compared to stan-dard dose-volume parameters. Planning constraints should aim to keep unilateral fEUD below 21 Gy.
