OBJECTIVE:To prepare m-nisoldipine solid dispersion from poorly-soluble m-nisoldipine so as to improve its solubility and dissolution rate in vitro. METHODS: Solid dispersions of m-nisoldipine were prepared by coprecipitation method with poloxamer as carrier; Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine the status of nimodipine in carrier. The solubility and the dissolution rate of the solid dispersion in vitro were studied. RESULTS: DSC analysis indicated that eutectic mixture was formed from m-nisoldipine and poloxamer. The solubility of m-nisoldipine and the its solid dispersions prepared from m-nisoldipine and poloxamer at different ratio (1∶3, 1∶5, 1∶7) were 0.89, 4.50, 15.35, and 23.03 mg?L-1, respectively, and their 120 min dissolution rates were 26.80%, 38.57%, 41.38%, and 45.92%, respectively. In the same ratio, the dissolution rates of the solid dispersions were higher than those of their physics mixtures. CONCLUSIONS: The solid dispersion of m-nisoldipine prepared with poloxamer as carrier can increase the solubility and dissolution rate in vitro.

BACKGROUND:Aconitum carmichaeli Debx (ACD) is the tuberous root of Aconium carmicgaekum, used as cardiotonic to restore yang for the treatment of colapse and shock, to warm the kidney and reinforceyang, and to expel cold and promote the flow ofyang-qi. Studies have found that ACD has obviously cardiotonic, antihypertensive, vasodilatory, analgesic, anti-inflammatory and toxic effects. OBJESTIVE: To observe the vasodilatory effects of a water decoction of ACD on rabbit’s aorta rings and its mechanism. METHODS:Rabbits aorta arteries were isolated, pre-contracted with noradrenaline (10-6 mol/L) and their responses to different concentrations of ACD (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 g/L) were investigated. The effects of removal of vascular endothelium and different signaling pathway inhibitors (Nω-nitro-L-arginine: 1×10-4 mol/L, methylene blue: 1×10-5 mol/L, indomethacin: 1×10-5 mol/L, propranolol: 1×10-5 mol/L) on ACD-induced vasodilation were also assessed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:ACD could not change the resting tension of rabbit aortic rings, but ACD treatment resulted in an obvious relaxation in narodrenaline-precontracted aortic rings and the relaxant effect was dose-dependent. The vasodilatory effect of ACD was significantly reduced by removal of endothelium, 1×10-4 mol/L Nω-nitro-L-arginine and 1×10-5 mol/L methylene blue but not reduced by indomethacin and propranolol. In addition, 4 g/L water decoction of ACD did not decrease the dose-response curves of artery rings to narodrenaline or KCl in the absence of endothelial cels. ACD can relax isolated rabbit’s aorta, which may be related to endothelium-released nitric oxide, but has no significant relevance with receptor-operated and voltage-dependent calcium channels.

Objective To optimize and establish ELISpot assay for CCP/AST which could secrete IFN-γ and IL-4, and explore the role and clinical significance of CCP/AST cells in occurrence and development of RA disease. Methods CCP was used as specific-stimulator with FLAG peptide as a control,the frequencies of positive SFC which could specifically secrete IFN-γ and IL-4 in 64 cases of RA, 64 cases of non-RA autoinunune diseases and 30 cases of healthy individuals were tested by ELISpot technique. The diagnostic value of CCP/AST cells was evaluated in patients with RA disease. Meanwhile, the relationships among the indexes above and patient joint symptoms as well as other laboratory parameters were further analyzed and discussed. Results The results showed that the mediam numbers of IFN-γ-SFC and IL-4-SFC were 39(12-77)/3 x 105 PBMC and 1 (1-3)/3 × 105 PBMC in RA patients, the positive rates were 81.3% and 18. 8% respectively. The median value of IFN-γ-SFC/IL-4-SFC ratio was of 15(5-39), the positive rate was of 78. 1%. Both IFN-γ-SFC and ratio of IFN-γ-SFC/IL-4-SFC were significantly higher than those of non-RA diseases (Z = - 7. 458, - 7. 019, P < 0. 01 ) and healthy control ( Z = - 6. 643, - 5. 760, P <0. 01 ), also both these parameters in RA patients with positive anti-CCP antibody and negative anti-CCP antibody were significantly higher than those patients with systemic lupus erythematosns ( Z = - 6. 573, - 6. 098, - 4. 552, - 4. 726, P < 0. 01 ), ankylosing spondylitis ( Z = - 3. 520, - 3. 326, - 2. 950,-2. 126, P<0. 01 or 0. 05), other autoimmune diseases (Z = -4. 838, -4. 418, - 3. 681, -3. 839,P < 0. 01 ) and healthy controls ( Z = - 6. 553, - 5. 578, - 4. 635, - 4. 163, P < 0. 01 ). Combining IFN-γ-SFC, IL-4-SFC with IFN-γ-SFC/IL-4-SFC for RA diagnosis, the area under curve of receiver operating characteristic( ROCAUC) and Youden index were 0. 910 and 0. 747. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 87. 5% and 87.2%. Positive and negative predictive values were 82. 4% and 91.1%, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that ratio of IFN-γ-SFC/IL-4-SFC was not only significantly correlated with antiCCP antibody(r =0.393, P <0.01), but also correlated with joint symptoms in patients such as with number of joints swelling-pain ( r = 0. 429 , P < 0. 01 ), number of joints damage ( r = 0. 463, P < 0. 01 ),rheumatoid factor (r = 0. 166, P < 0.01) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=0. 199,P<0.05).Conclusions There is widely existence of CCP/AST cells activation and abnormity in RA patients,indicating higher frequency of CCP-specific Th1 cells. These results provides a new experimental evidence for an objective understanding the function of specific cellular immune responses and cytokine network regulation mediated by citrullinated proteins in RA. So, the assay for CCP/AST cells has potential values in RA diagnosis and clinical application.
