1.The Effect of Lysophosphatidic Acid on the Permeability of Blood-Brain Barrier
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2006;0(04):-
Lysophosphatidic acid is a intermediary metabolite in lipid metabolism, mainly produced from activated platelets. It may cause the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons, abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein and increased permeability of the tight junction of endothelial cells, which is closely correlated with pathological changes of ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. It is shown that lysophosphatidic acid may induce the opening of the blood-brain barrier under pathological conditions, and enters central nervous system through the blood-brain barrier, and causes different effects of pathological changes by acting on various cells.
2.25S rDNA genotype and antifungal susceptibility of vaginal Candida albicans
Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2016;51(4):279-284
Objective To investigate 25S rDNA genotype distribution of vaginal Candida albicans and its relationship with antifungal susceptibility. Methods A total of 954 isolates of Candida albicans were subjected to genotype analysis according to the presence and the size of transposable groupⅠintron in 25S rDNA with PCR; 156 isolates were enrolled to detect their antifungal susceptibility of 5 antifungal agents with the M27-A3 broth microdilution method. Results Totally 876 isolates were determined to be intronless genotype A (91.8%,876/954); 58 (6.1%, 58/954) and 20 isolates (2.1%, 20/954) were intron-containing genotype B and genotype C, respectively. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of itraconazole and fluconazole against the intron-containing group were significantly higher than those of the intronless group (0.25 versus 0.125μg/ml, P<0.05;0.25 versus 0.125μg/ml, P<0.01), whereas the MIC of nystatin against the intron-containing group was lower than that of the intronless group (4 versus 8μg/ml, P<0.01). The resistance rate of Candida albicans to itraconazole of the intron-containing group was significantly higher than that of the intronless group [24% (19/78) versus 3% (2/78), P<0.01]. Cross-resistance analysis revealed 5 of the 21 (24%) itraconazole resistant isolates were cross-resistant to fluconazole ,and 5 of the 6 (5/6) fluconazole-resistant strains were cross-resistant to itraconazole. Besides, all the five strains simultaneously resistant to itraconazole and fluconazole belonged to the intron-containing group. Conclusion The presence of the transposable group Ⅰ intron in 25S rDNA of vaginal Candida albicans might be important in affecting itraconazole, fluconazole and nystatin susceptibility.

China Pharmacy 2017;28(12):1677-1680
OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for determining the contents of chlorogenic acid and luteoloside in Lonicerae ja-ponicae,and to explore the shelf life of L. japonicae under ordinary temperature and sealed environment. METHODS:HPLC meth-od was adopted. The determination was performed on Agilent Zorbax SB-C18(chlorogenic acid)column and Agilent Zorbax SB-Phe-nyl(galuteolin)with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.4% phosphoric acid(13:87,V/V),acetonitrile-0.5% glacial acetic ac-id (gradient elution,galuteolin) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 327 nm (chlorogenic acid) and 350 nm(galuteolin). The column temperature was 30 ℃,and sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS:The linear range of chloro-genic acid and galuteolin were 10-100 μg/mL(r=0.9986),5-50 μg/mL(r=0.9993),respectively. RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 4.0%. Recoveries were 95.78%-99.70%(RSD=1.46%,n=6)、96.30%-104.31%(RSD=2.93%,n=6). The contents of chlorogenic acid and galuteolin in roller method,baking method and natural drying method of processed L. japonicae were all decreased by 30%-40% after stored for 12 months. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple, precise,stable and repeatable,and can be used for simultanoue determination of chlorogenic acid and luteoloside in L. japonicae. The contents of active components in L. japonicae decrease significantly after stored for 12 months. It is necessary to establish shelf life standard of L. japonicae,so as to guarantee the effectiveness of drug use in the clinic.
