Base on the Kawakita powder compression equation, a general theoretical model for predicting the compression characteristics of multi-components pharmaceutical powders with different mass ratios was developed. The uniaxial flat-face compression tests of powder lactose, starch and microcrystalline cellulose were carried out, separately. Therefore, the Kawakita equation parameters of the powder materials were obtained. The uniaxial flat-face compression tests of the powder mixtures of lactose, starch, microcrystalline cellulose and sodium stearyl fumarate with five mass ratios were conducted, through which, the correlation between mixture density and loading pressure and the Kawakita equation curves were obtained. Finally, the theoretical prediction values were compared with experimental results. The analysis showed that the errors in predicting mixture densities were less than 5.0% and the errors of Kawakita vertical coordinate were within 4.6%, which indicated that the theoretical model could be used to predict the direct compaction characteristics of multi-component pharmaceutical powders.

OBJECTIVEThis study investigates the effect of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) on different stages of condylar three-dimensional position and provides a theoretical basis for clinical application.

METHODSThe cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 108 TMJOA patients were analyzed and divided into four stages based on the stage standard of osteoarthrosis X-ray performance proposed by Xuchen Ma in 2005. A total of 28 defect-free temporomandibular joint disorders were used as the control group. Differences in condylar position and condylar axis horizontal angle were evaluated and compared.

RESULTSNo significant differences were found in terms of sagittal relationship, but condylar axis horizontal angle showed a significant difference (F = 3.872, P = 0.005). The horizontal angle values of stage 1 in the TMJOA group were lower than those in stages 2 and 3 (P = 0.027, P = 0.000), whereas the horizontal angle values of stage 2 and control groups were lower than those of stage 3 group (P = 0.004, P = 0.047).

CONCLUSIONCondylar horizontal angle differed in each stage of TMJOA, but no significant difference between the parasagittal positions of the condyles was observed in each stage.

Aim To explore the role of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ( NADPH ) oxidase in high fat-induced injury in MIN6 isletβ cells. Methods MIN6 islet β cells were exposed to different concen-trations of palmitic acid ( 0. 1 , 0. 3 , 0. 5 , 0. 8 mmol · L-1 ) for 48 h and different time points of 0. 5 mmol· L-1 palmitic acid(24,48,72,96 h). Cell viability was measured by MTT, the protein expression of NADPH oxidase subunits such as p22 phox , p47 phox , p67 phox and gp91 phox and apoptosis related proteins such as Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. Results MIN6 islet cells exposed to palmitic acid at 0. 5 mmol ·L-1 for 48 h showed a decrease in their viability and an increase in the expression of NADPH oxidase sub-units(p22phox、p47phox、p67phox and gp91phox) and Bax(P<0. 05 ) , while Bcl-2 expression was significantly re-duced. the pretreat with NADPH oxidase inhibitor di-phenyliodonium( DPI,10 μmol · L-1 ) significantly in-hibited high fat-induced Bcl-2 and Bax expression( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion Activated NADPH oxidase might play an important role in the treatment of high fat-in-duced injury in MIN6 islet cells.
