To evaluate the effect of components in Guanxin Ⅱ prescription on the pharmacokinetic profiles of paeoniflorin and ferulic acid. METHODS: Drug concentrations of rat plasmas after intravenous injection of paronia pall (PPE) or ferulic acid (FA) extract solution, as well as oral administration of PPE and FA solution, and different kinds of decoctions based on Guanxin Ⅱ prescription were determined by an HPLC system. NONMEM (nonlinear mixed-effect modeling) method was used to analyze the population pharmacokinetics of PF and FA. RESULTS: A two-compartment model with first order degradation in absorption phase, and an ordinary two-compartment model were adequately describe PF and FA pharmacokinetic profiles, respectively. The mean of PF population parameters, CL1, V1, CL2, V2, Ka0, and Ka1, were 0.509 L/h, 0.104 L, 0.113 L/h, 0.123 L, 0.135 /h, and 0.0135 /h, respectively, while the typical values of CL1, V1, CL2, V2, Ka1, and F in FA model were 0.295 L/h, 0.025 L, 0.0331 L/h, 0.0518 L, 0.110 /h, and 0.40, respectively. Inter-individual variabilities were estimated and dose formulation (DF) was identified as a significant covariate in the model. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the pharmacokinetic behaviors of index components in Guanxin Ⅱ prescription can be influenced by different dose formulations administrated in rats.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of nicorandil for treatment of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 40 cases of patients with ARDS admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from October 2012 to October 2014 were enrolled, and they were randomly divided into two groups, 20 cases in each group. The two groups were treated with routine western medicine after admission. On this basis, the observation group was given nicorandil 10 mg, while the control group was given warm boiled water 10 mL, through gastric tubes 3 times a day, the therapeutic course being consecutive 5 days in both groups. The length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU), duration of mechanical ventilation after treatment, oxygenation index (OI), alveolo-arterial oxygen partial pressure difference (PA-aO2), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score, Glasgow coma score (GCS) before and after treatment, the predicted death rate (PDR) and 28-day mortality were compared between the two groups. The predicitive factors for 28-day mortality were screened by binary logistic analysis.Results The length of stay in ICU and duration of mechanical ventilation of control group were longer than those of observation group, but the difference was not statistically significant [ICU length of stay (day): 14.55±12.71 vs. 9.15±6.00, duration of mechanical ventilation (day): 13.25±12.27 vs. 7.75±5.32, bothP > 0.05]. After treatment, the GCS was higher than that before treatment in control group and observation group (11.95±3.98 vs. 10.75±4.89, 12.95±3.67 vs. 12.20±4.56), while APACHE Ⅱ score, PDR and PEEP were all lower than those before treatment [APACHE Ⅱ: 21.05±8.58 vs. 24.90±5.63, 18.70±11.21 vs. 26.65±7.67; PDR: (47.71±29.49)% vs. (61.00±23.29)%, (36.79±18.49)% vs. (56.12±18.16)%; PEEP (cmH2O, 1 cmH2O = 0.098 kPa): 4.40±3.14 vs. 5.75±2.59, 3.80±2.55 vs. 7.55±3.32], but there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups before and after treatment (allP > 0.05). After treatment, the OI was significantly higher and the PA-aO2 was significantly lower than those before treatment in the two groups, and the degrees of improvement of the observation group were more remarkable than those of the control group [OI (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 224.72±85.12 vs. 141.37±45.82, PA-aO2 (mmHg): 132.60±46.64 vs. 204.30±121.2, bothP < 0.05]. The 28-day mortality of observation group was lower than that of control group, but no statistically significant difference was seen [15% (3/20) vs. 25% (5/20),χ2 = 0.156,P > 0.05). Binary logistic regression analyses showed that the PA-aO2 [odds ratio (OR) = 0.958,P = 0.013, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.927 - 0.991], APACHE Ⅱ score (OR = 0.882,P = 0.010, 95CI = 0.803 - 0.970), GCS (OR = 1.399, P = 0.004, 95%CI = 1.111 - 1.761) and PDR (OR = 0.907,P = 0.002, 95%CI = 0.853 - 0.965) after treatment were the independent predictors of 28-day mortality.Conclusion Nicorandil can significantly improve oxygenation, but cannot reduce 28-day mortality in patients with ARDS.

Objective To investigate the potential role of Lycium bararum polysaccharide (LBP) with or without interferon -inducible protein 10 ( CXCL10) in inducing dendritic cells ( DC) functional maturation by monitoring the alteration of cytokines for inducing DC maturation in peripheral blood and by detecting the expression of S-100 protein in tumor tissue, thus to reveal its mechanism of inhibiting experimental liver cancer. Methods H22 bearing mice model was established. The mice were randomized into model group, LBP group (50 mg/kg, ig), CXCL10 (right axillary subcutaneous injection of 15 μg/kg), LBP + CXCL10 group (LBP 50 mg/kg, ig, and right axillary subcutaneous injection of CXCL10 15 μg/kg), 5- fluorouracil (5FU) group ( intraperitoneal injection of 12mg/kg) , 12 mice in each group. The mice were administered the corresponding medicine once a day. After treatment for 2 continuous weeks, blood was sampled from infraorbital vein, and the tumor mass, spleen, thymus were extracted for the calculation of anti-tumor rate, thymus index and spleen index separately . The mRNA expression levels of interleukin 12 (IL-12) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in peripheral blood were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR, the expression of S-100 protein in tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemical assay. Results Compared with the model group, tumor growth in LBP group and LBP+CXCL10 group was obviously inhibited, and tumor-inhibitory rate was 55.90%, 50.91%, respectively. Meanwhile, the mRNA expression level of IL-12 was 2.94 folds higher in LBP group and 3.39 folds higher in LBP + CXCL10 group, and TNF-α mRNA expression level was 1.55 folds higher in LBP group and 4.74 folds higher in LBP+CXCL10 group than the model group, the differences being statistical significant ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Results of immunohistochemical assay showed that S-100+DC number in LBP group and LBP+CXCL10 group was larger than that in the model group (P<0.05 ). Conclusion LBP and LBP+CXCL10 exert significant effect on inhibiting experimental liver cancer. The mechanism may be related with inducing the secretion of IL-12 and TNF-α, which plays a key role in inducing DC maturation, and with the increase of the number of DC in tumor microenvironment.

Objective To observe the effect of Herba Hedyotis Diffusae(HHD) on expression of heat shock protein 70(HSP70) and P16 anti-oncogene protein in mice with H22 cell transplanted tumor. Methods The mice were immunized with hepatoma-lines-H22 cells which were treated by Chinese herbs firstly. According to the pretreatment of the Chinese herbs and whether the H22 cells being blocked by HSP70 monoclonal antibody,the mice were divided into 5 groups:HHD non-blocking group,HHD-blocking group,Radix Codonopsis(RC)-blocking group,RC non-blocking group,and RPMI-1640 control group. Then the treated H22 Cells were translated into the mice. The expression of HSP70 and P16 anti-oncogene protein in mice with transplanted H22 liver carcinoma was detected by immunohistochemical marking method. Results The expressions of HSP70 was up-regulated in HDD non-blocking group and RC non-blocking group,in particular in RC non-blocking group,and the difference was significant as compared with HHD-blocking group,RC-blocking group and control blank group.The expression of P16 anti-oncogene protein was up-regulated in the treatment groups,and the difference was significant in comparison with the control group. The effect on P16 anti-oncogene protein expression was stronger in HDD groups than that in RC groups,but the difference was insignificant between the blocking group and the non-blocking group of each herb. Conclusion The anti-tumor effect of HDD may be achieved by inducing HSP70 expression in transplanted H22 neoplasia and by enhancing the immunogenicity. The up-regulation of P16 anti-oncogene expression by HHD and RC has no direct relationship with the induction of HSP70,and the related mechanism needs further research.
