China Pharmacy 1991;0(06):-
OBJECTIVE:To compare the relative bioavailability and pharmacokinetic parameters of domestic ciclosporin soft capsules with those of imported ciclosporin soft capsules METHODS:The drug concentration in blood were assayed by TDx after administration of a single oral dose of 300mg domestic or imported ciclosporin soft capsules to each of 12 healthy male volunteers in a randomized crossover study RESULTS:The AUC were(10 47?1 74)?g/(ml?h)and(10 71?1 45)?g/(ml?h),the Cmax were(1 91?0 31)?g/ml and(1 88?0 22)?g/ml,Tmax were(1 46?0 26)h and (1 38?0 31)h,for domestic and imported soft capsules,respectively The relative bioavailability of domestic ciclosporin soft capsules to imported ones was (97 59?9 71)% CONCLUSION:The result showed that the two soft capsules were bioequivalent

Objective To observe the effect of the health education and skills training for caregivers on health status of stroke patients and their family caregivers. Methods Hospitalized stroke patients were divided into the intervention group (n=38) and the control group (n= 36). Both groups received rehabilitation training for 1 month in hospital. The family caregivers of intervention group received Timing It Right education and skills training in addition. All the patients were assessed with the European Stroke Scale (ESS), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), simple Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), modified Barthel Index (MBI), and the caregivers were assessed with the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) before and 3 months after intervention. Results The scores of ESS, FMA, MBI improved more in intervention group than in the control group after intervention (P<0.05), as well as their caregivers in the items of playing a useful part, under stress, overcoming difficulties, enjoying normal activities, facing up to problems, feeling unhappy and depressed, lossing confidence, thinking of self as worth of GHQ-12 (P<0.05). Conclusion Health education and skills training for family caregivers can improve the health of caregivers, and further improve the function outcome of stroke patients.

BACKGROUND:More and more evidence suggests that macrophages and inflammation reactions are involved in the formation and development of nephrolithiasis. Previous studies have found that calculi crystals can stimulate macrophages to release high mobility group protein B1.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the synergistic effect of high mobility group protein B1 in calcium phosphate induced release of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factorαand monocyte chemotactic factor 1 from human macrophages.
METHODS:(1) The induced U937 cells were respectively stimulated with RPMI (blank), 100 mg/L calcium phosphate, 100μg/L high mobility group protein B1 and 100 mg/L calcium phosphate+100μg/L high mobility group protein B1 for 1, 2 and 4 hours to col ect cellsupernatant. (2) The induced U937 cells were respectively stimulated with 100 mg/L calcium phosphate, 100 mg/L calcium phosphate+10μg/L high mobility group protein B1, 100 mg/L calcium phosphate+50μg/L high mobility group protein B1, 100 mg/L calcium phosphate+100μg/L high mobility group protein B1 for 4 hours to col ect cellsupernatant. Levels of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factorαand monocyte chemotactic factor 1 were determined by ELISA.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The levels of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factorαand monocyte chemotactic factor 1 in the cellculture supernatant of 100 mg/L calcium phosphate group and 100μg/L high mobility group protein B1 group were both higher than those in the blank group in a time-dependent manner (P<0.05). The levels of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factorαand monocyte chemotactic factor 1 in the cellculture supernatant of different concentrations of high mobility group protein B1 groups were al higher than those in the 100 mg/L calcium phosphate group in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.05). The results suggest that both calcium phosphate and high mobility group protein B1 can induce the release of interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factorαand monocyte chemotactic factor 1 from human macrophages and the high mobility group protein B1 has the synergistic effect with calcium phosphate to induce interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factorαand monocyte chemotactic factor 1 from human macrophages.
