Objective To explore protective effects of curcumin on lung injury in the early hepatic ischemia/reperfsion (reperfusion for 1 and 3 hour) inrats. Methods Wistarratswererandom]y divided into the fo]]owinggroups: GroupA (shamoperation), group B (control group) and group C (cureumin applied). Contents of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), myeloperoxidase (MPO) in lung tissues were determined to evaluate the protective effect of eurcumin on lung injury in the injury of isehemia/ reperfusion. Results Curcumin relieved edema of diaphragmatic wall and exudation of blood cell and white cell in pulmonary alveoli. Curcumin increased the contents of SOD, CAT and decreased contents of MDA, MPO in lung tissue. Conclusion By repressing the generation of oxygen free radical and infiltration of polymorphonuclear leukocyte in lung tissue, curcumin can relieve lung injury in the early hepatic ischemia/repeffusion.

Objective:To optimize the preparation technology of rutin nanoemulsion. Methods:The pseudoternary phase diagram of rutin nanoemulsion under the condition of different Kmwas drawn. With the drug loading and the particle size as the independent var-iables,and the percent of oil and the weight ratio of surfactant to cosurfactant as the dependent variables, the blank formula of rutin nanoemulsion was optimized by central composite design-response surface method. Results:The optimal formula was as follows:the ra-tio of ethyl oleate, cremopher RH40,1,2-propanediol and water was 7: 13: 5: 25. The average particle size of the prepared rutin nanoemulsion was 26.51 nm,and the drug loading was 8.97 mg·ml-1. Conclusion:The central composite design-response surface method can obtain a good formula of rutin nanoemulison,and the model has a good predictive function.
