China Pharmacist 2014;(5):861-864,865
Immunosuppressive drugs used in organ transplantation are highly effective in preventing acute rejection. However,the clinical use of the drugs is complicated by the fact that they display highly variable pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics among in-dividual patients. The influence of genetic variation on the interindividual variability in immunosuppressive drug disposition,efficacy and toxicity has been explored in recent years. The review summarized all kinds of immunosuppressants and their relationship with ge-netic polymorphisms,including the SNPs of related enzymes about pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics,the SNPs of donor and tar-get site. The review focused on the current situation and progress in the related research areas.

Objective:To evaluate the compatible stability of sodium nitroprusside for injection ( SNP) in two kinds of solutions (5% glucose and sodium chloride injections) . Methods:A, B, C and D solution of SNP was respectively prepared according to the concentration of clinical use. The stability of SNP solution was studied in different environment with different storing time, and the as-sessment indices included the appearance, insoluble particles, pH value, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrum and SNP content. Re-sults:The SNP solutions in 5% glucose and sodium chloride injections were stable in 26 hours in photophobic condition at 20℃ and 35℃. Under an incandescent lamp with or without lightproof, the solutions were very unstable. Conclusion:Both sodium chloride and 5% glucose injections can be used as the solvent for SNP with 26h stability. SNP injections prepared and used in clinics should be pre-served away from light to ensure the safety and effectiveness.

Objective:To compare the contents of polysaccharide and protein in male and female Trichosanthis Radix to provide reasonable explanation for that male plant was better. Methods:Polysaccharides in Trichosanthis Radix were obtained by water-extrac-tion and ethanol-precipitation method, and the content was determined by anthrone-sulfuric acid method. Tichosanthin ( TCS) was ob-tained by hydrochloric acid extraction and acetone precipitation. Based on the light absorption of Coomassie brilliant blue G-250 com-bined with proteins, the content of TCS was detected. Results: The polysaccharides content in male and female Trichosanthis Radix was 2. 628% and 3. 237%, TCS content was 0. 193% and 0. 280%, respectively. Conclusion: The contents of polysaccharides and TCS in male plant are higher than those in female plant. The male plant is a better source for Trichosanthis Radix.

Objective:To investigate the effect of live lactobacillus preparation in the treatment of postpartum vagina microenviro-ment dysbiosis. Methods:Totally 300 cases of postpartum women were selected in our hospital from February 2013 to November 2013, including those with normal delivery, cesarean section and vaginal delivery after lochia, and each was with 100 cases. The vaginal se-cretion was withdrawn from vagina and the microenvironment was assessed. The patients with dysbiosis were randomly divided into two groups, the observation group was treated with living lactobacillus preparation and the treatment group was without treatment. The effi-cacy and incidence of bacterial vaginosis(BV) were observed. Results:Totally 88 cases (29. 3%) occurred vaginal dysbiosis. There were significant differences in the dysbiosis incidence rate, pH, H2 O2 results, microscopic examination results and the distribution of flora between the two groups (P <0. 05). The effective rate of the observation group was 95. 5%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (29. 5%). The incidence rate of BV was 4. 5% in the observation group, which was significantly lower than that in the control group [75%] (P<0. 05). Conclusion: The effect of the lactobacillus preparation in the treatment of postpartum vagina microenviroment dysbiosis is promising and safe.
