The mechanism of urea injection for treating the varicosis of lower extreatment was discussed.The urea therapy is one of better methods for the varicosis of lower extremity.

The main purpose of this work is to prepare self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) of a poorly water soluble drug, puerarin. Solubility of puerarin was determined in various oils and surfactants. Oleic acid and Tween 80 provided higher solubility. Addition of propylene glycol as cosurfactant improved solubility of puerarin and the spontaneity of self-emulsification. A series of mixtures comprising oleic acid, propylene glycol and Tween 80 were prepared and their self-emulsifying properties were studied. Pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were constructed to identify the efficient self-emulsification region and particle sizes of the resultant emulsions were determined using a laser diffraction sizer. The harmacokinetic behaviors of three different SEDDS formulations (F2, F3, F4) were investigated in Beagle dogs. The bioavailability was compared using the pharmacokinetic parameters, peak plasma concentration (Cmax), time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) and total area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC0-t). AUC0-t was significantly higher in formulation F2 group (5.201±0.511) ng·mL-1·h and formulation F3 group (5.174±0.498) ng·mL-1·h than that in formulation F4 group (3.013±0.623) ng·mL-1·h. Also, Cmax was significantly higher in formulation F2 group (1.524±0.125) ng·mL-1 and formulation F3 group (1.513±0.157) ng·mL-1 than that in formulation F4 group (0.939±0.089) ng·mL-1. Further analysis of the data showed a statistically significant difference between F2 and F4 (P<0.01) as well as F3 and F4 (P<0.01) with regard to the values of AUC0-∞ and Cmax for three SEDDS formulations, but not between those of F2 and F3 (P>0.05). From these studies, the SEDDS formulation containing oleic acid (17.5%), Tween 80 (34.5%) and propylene glycol (34.5%) (w/w) was selected as an optimized SEDDS formulation of puerarin. The data suggest the potential use of SEDDS to improve oral absorption of puerarin.

Objective To explore the effect of intrahepatic injection of liposome-mediated VEGF plasmid on ischemia-reper-fusion liver injury and its mechanism. Methods Rabbits were randomly divided into normal group, ischemia-reperfusion group and recombinant VEGF therapy group( liposome-mediated transfer of VEGF plasmid into liver via portal vein 20 min before ischemia of liver). The model of liver ischemia-reperfusion injury was established. Liver function and the activity of SOD.XO in blood were determined at the 0,2nd,6th,12th,and 24th h after operation. RT-PCR technique was applied to detect the expression level of Fas mRNA in liver tissues of every group,and flow cytometry was used to measure cell apoptosis rate at the 6th h after operation. At the 24th h after operation,all rabbits were killed and liver tissues of ischemia were taken to make pathological sections for observing the morphology and microstructure under the light microscopy and electron microscopy. ResuJts The level of ALT in recombinant VEGF therapy group was markedly reduced as compared with ischemia-reperfusion group at the 6th,12th,and 24th h after operation( P<0. 05). The activity of SOD in recombinant VEGF therapy group was significantly higher than in ischemia-reperfusion group at the 6th, 12th,and 24th h after operation. The activity of XO in recombinant VEGF therapy group was significantly lower than that in ischemia-reperfusion group at the 6th,12th,and 24th h after operation(P< 0. 05 or P<0. 01). In addition,there was significant difference in the expression of Fas mRNA and cell apoptosis rate between recombinant VEGF therapy group and ischemia-reperfusion group(P<0. 01). The injury of hepatocytes in recombinant VEGF therapy group was significantly alleviated as compared with that in ischemia-reperfusion group under the light microscopy and e-lectron microscopy. Conclusion Liposome-mediated transfer of VEGF plasmid into liver before ischemia of liver can obviously protect hepatocytes by increasing anti-oxidative ability, decreasing the expression of Fas mRNA, and finally inhibiting hepato-cyte apoptosis.
