China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica 2014;39(13):2553-2558
An HPLC-UV method was developed for the determination of total naringenin and total hesperetin in rat plasma after oral administration of Citrus aurantium Immaturus extracts and Zhizi Dahuang decoction. Plasma samples were pretreated with liquid-liquid extraction procedure and acid hydrolysis method was used for converting conjugated naringenin and hesperetin to their respective free forms. Plasma samples were separated on a C18 column (4.6 mm x 150 mm, 5 microm), using 0.1% phosphoric acid and methanol as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1) with gradient elution. DAS 2.0 software was applied to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters while the SPSS 16.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Significant differences were observed, the C(max) AUC(0-t) of total naringenin in ZS group was 73.5% and 65.9% higher than those in ZZDHD group, respectively; the C(max), AUC(0-t) of total hesperetin in ZS group was 63.5% and 119.1% higher than those in ZZDHD group, respectively. There is a obvious decrease in C(max) and AUC(0-t) of total naringenin and total hesperetin after compatibility and their pharmacokinetic characteristics changed greatly due to the combination of other herbs. The established method was rapid, sensitive, selective and accurate, and it could be applied in the determination of total naringenin and total hesperetin in rat plasma.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate effects of different treatments on patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture after percutaneous kyphoplasty in pain and function.
METHODSFrom March 2010 to March 2012,138 patients (165 vertebrae) with thoracic and lumbar vertebral osteoporotic fracture were randomly divided into three groups (control group, treatment group and comprehensive group), 46 cases in each group, and all patients were treated by PKP. Control group were treated with calcium and calcitriol after operation, treatment group added salmon calcitonin see calcimar based on control group, comprehensive group added incrementality waist musculi dorsi function exercise based on treatment group. VAS, ODI scores and BMD before operation, 3 d, 2 weeks, 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after operation were detected and compared.
RESULTSAll operation were performed successfully,38 cases (45 vertebrae) in control group, 36 cases (44 vertebrae) in treatment group and 40 cases (49 vertebrae) were obtained complete following up, there was no significant meaning in following time among three groups (P>0.05). Postoperative VAS and ODI scores at 3 d, 2 weeks and 1 month among three groups were lower than that of before operation (P<0.01). Compared with control group, postoperative VAS score at 3 d, 2 weeks and 1 month were decreasedin treatment group and comprehensive group, but there was no significant meaning in ODI scores (P>0.05). At 6 and 12 months after operation,there was no significant differences in VAS and ODI between control group and treatment group (P>0.05), while VAS score in comprehensive group decreased much than other two groups,decreased continuously (P<0.01). At 12 months after operation, BMD among three groups were increased more than preoperative,and BMD in comprehensive group was more obviously than that of in control and treatment group.
CONCLUSIONPKP, an effective method for the treatment of thoracic and lumbar vertebral osteoporotic fracture, could improve short-term clinical effects by adding calcitonin with calcium supplements and activated vitamin D. Waist musculi dorsi function exercise could improve long-term clinical effects of PKP and improve quality of life.

Background Vitronectin is a glycoprotein that has a variety of functions.Its expression was markedly higher in the retina of oxygen induced mice,which was confirmed in our animal model,and also increased in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (人 UVECs) that were cultured in high glucose.However,there was no evidence that showed vitronectin was involved in retinal neovascularization.Objective This study was to observe the influence of vitronectin on cytoskeleton remodeling,cell migration and blood vessel formation in 人 UVECs conditioned by high glucose.Methods 人 UVECs were cultured in high glucose and the expression of vitronectin was knocked down using RNA interference technology.The experiments were divided into the high glucose group (人 UVECs were conditioned with DMEM medium that contained 50 mmol/L glucose),negative interference group (人 UVECs were transfected with control siRNA in advance,and then were conditioned with DMEM medium that contained 50 mmol/L glucose) and positive interference group (HUVEC were transfected with vitronectin siRNA in advance,and then were conditioned with DMEM medium that contained 50 mmol/L glucose).The protein expression of vitronectin was measured by Western blot,and the microfilament cytoskeleton of 人 UVECs was examined by immunofluorescence cytochemical staining followed by fluorescence microscopy.Cell migration ability in a scratch wound assay and blood vessel formation ability in a matrigel assay of 人 UVECs were evaluated.The general differences were analysed by One-Way ANOVA ;further contrasts of the two groups were analysed by the LSD-t test.Results The differences in vitronectin expression of the three groups were not obvious at 0 hour (F=1.064,P>0.05).After 24 hours,vitronectin expression was highest in the high glucose group,lower in the negative interference group,and the lowest in the positive interference group,and the differences were significant (F =15.519,P<0.05).After 48 hours,vitronectin expression of the three groups displayed the same pattern,and the differences were also significant (F=37.521,P<0.05).Immunofluorescence showed that the cytoskeleton structure was most obvious in the high glucose group,moderate in the negative interference group,and was the least obvious in the positive interference group,after both 24 hours and 48 hours.In the scratch wound assay,the cell migration ability of the high glucose group was the highest,lower in the negative interference group,and the lowest in the positive interference group after 24 hours,and the differences were significant (F=90.685,P<0.05).After 48 hours,the cell migration abilities of the three groups displayed the same pattern,and the differences were also significant (F=67.880,P<0.05).In the matrigel assay,after 6 hours,the number of blood vessels formed in the high glucose group was more than that in the negative interference group,and the least amount was found in the positive interference group.The differences among of them were significant (F =86.653,P<0.05).The number of blood vessel formed in the positive interference group was also the lowest after 12 hours,and the differences were also significant (F=18.992,P<0.05).Conclusions Vitronectin can bring about cytoskeleton remodeling,increase in cell migration,and enhancement of blood vessel formation in 人 UVECs conditioned in high glucose.It may be one of the important influence factors of diabetic retinopathy.
