Background Some drugs with inhibitory effect on the proliferation of lens epithelial cells have a limiting application in clinic because of their adverse response.To screen the effective and less side-effect drug for supressing LECs growth is very inportant for the prevention and treatment of after cataract.Objective This study was to explore the effects of docetaxel on LECs growth and compare its role with epirubicin hydrochloride,pirarubicin hydrochloTide and rahitrexed.Methotis Immortalized human LECs line (SRA01/04) were cultured and passaged.Different concentrations of docetaxel,epirubicin hydrochloride,pirarubicin hydrochloride and rahitrexed were added into the medium respectively for 24.48 and 72 hours.The proliferation of LECs was detect by M1Yr.Flow cytometry analysis Was used to analyze the influence of different concentrations of docetaxel on cellular cycle at 48 hours after addition of docetaxel,and Annexin V-FITC/PI marking method was used to assesse the apoptosis of LECs under the action of docetaxel.Expression of bcl-2 protein in LECs Was evaluated by Westeru blot. Result The growth rate of LECs Wag 100%in 8-519 pmol/L doeetaxel groups with the normal cell shape.Majority of abnormal cells and low growth rate were found in 66 nmoVL docetaxel group at 48 and 72 hours.The IC50 of docetaxel was lowest in 48 and 72 hours in docetaxel group in comparison to epirubicin hydrochloride and pirarubicin hydrochloride. However,no evident inhibition on LECs growth in 23.22-523.56 μmol/L of raltitrexed.At 48 hours,the percentage of LECs in G2/M phase increased as the asccnte of concentration of docetaxel,showing a significant difference among 4 groups(F=2633.05,P<0.01).The percentage of early apoptotic cells increased to 22.4%(χ2=20.00,P<0.01) and 27.9%(χ2=42.68,P<0.01)from normal control 3.1% at 48 hours after LECs exposed to 8.3 nmol/L and 266 nmol/L docetaxe.The expression of bcl-2 protein in LECs was obviously weakened after addition of docetaxel,especially 8.3 nmol/L docetaxel group. Conclusion Docetaxel,epirubicin hydrochloride and pirarubicin hydrochloride can inhibit the proliferation of human LECs in vitro.But there is no supression on LECs growth inraltitrexed.Docetaxel is proved to have a strongly arrested effect on the proliferation of LECs in comparison with epirubicin hydrochloride and pirarubicin hydrochloride and play its role at concentration-and time-dependent manner.

Objective To explore the expression pattern of tenascin-c(tnc)gene in zebrafish embryo abnormal development which was induced by ethanol,and to further understand the function of tnc gene in embryo develepment.Methods Zebrafish were treated with ethanol at different concentration from 100 to 500 mmol/L,and embryos at 24 and 48 hours were collected and fixed,then tnc expression pattern was observed by in situ hybridization and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results The result of RT-PCR showed that ethanol at 100 and 200 mmol/L could increase the expression of tnc,while the result of in situ hybridization showed that,while ethanol at 300 mmol/L and above decrease the expression of tnc in presumptive position at 24 hours,and ethanol at 100 mmol/L and above caused increase expression of tnc in zebrafish heart.Conclusions tnc is increased when treated with 100 and 200 mmol/L ethanol and is presented in the abnormal development of hearts of zebrafish,which can promote the normal development of embryos in some degrees.The expression pattern of tnc in pathologic state is highly conserved in all vertebrate,and in adult and embryos as well.

Polymorphism of drug is known to influence the stability, dissolution, bioavailability and other performance characteristics of the products. Therefore, the crystal form of the drug must be identified and determined in order to ensure consistent product performance. Even if the identification and characterization of crystal forms are performed thoroughly and the effective crystal form is selected for preparation, it is important to ensure that the effective crystal form in the final product remains unchanged. Therefore, it is essential to quantitate the content of the effective crystal form in the product to control the quality and performance of them. X-ray powder diffraction, FT-Raman, mid-IR, near-IR, terahertz pulsed spectroscopy, solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and DSC are the quantitative methods of crystal form used in the recent 10 years. This review briefly highlights the basic principles and the progress of these methods and discusses the perspective as they apply to pharmaceutical research and development.

Objective To study the biological characteristics of CD+44 stem cells in human laryngeal carcinoma.Methods Tumor samples were obtained from 5 patients, and then the human laryngeal carcinoma cells were cultured in vitro by primary tissue culture technique.Taking CD44 molecule as a marker to isolate CD+44 subpopulation cells from laryngeal carcinoma cells for further study.CD+44 and CD-44 cells were cultured and observed fex their development.CD+44 and CD-44 cells were compared in their functional status ( mRNA), cell cycles (GO/G1), their degree of differentiation (CK14 and Involucrin expression) and their morphologic character of the clone.Results The percentages of CD+44 cells were about49.8% -53.5% and the median was 51.3%.After culturing CD+44 cells isolated from laryngeal carcinoma could proliferate and the percentage of CD+44 remained the same.CD+44 tumor cells contained much less RNA, more GO/GI cells, expressed more CK14 protein and less lnvolucrin protein (less differentiated state).CD+44 cells were muhangular in shape with protuberances; CD-44celis showed a sharp and spindle feature.In comparison with CD-44 cells, CD+44 cells could create heterogeneous offspring by single cell culture of limiting dilution.By observing clone forming rate after single cell planting, it was found that the CD+44 cells had stronger proliferation ability.Conclusions CD+44 cells possess some characteristics of stem cells, laryngeal carcinoma stem cells maybe exist in CD+44 cells.

The in situ gel systems can form gel in situ after administration to achieve sustained release, thus provides a promising strategy for drug delivery systems. The aim of this study was to design and prepare in situ gel systems for the oral delivery of ibuprofen (IBU-ISG) and study its pharmacokinetics in Beagle dogs. The characteristics of the basic material of gellan gum (Kelcogel, Kel) and sodium alginate (Manugel, M) were studied through investigating the complex viscosity of the Kel or M solution with or without different concentrations of calcium ion or sodium citrate to ascertain the amount range of the excipients. The measurement of complex viscosity of the solution (0. 5% Kel and 1% M) with different concentrations of sodium citrate and calcium ion was carried out to select the suitable proportion of calcium ion and sodium citrate. The formulation of binary IBU-ISG was optimized by monitoring the complex viscosity before gelling in vitro release property. The optimized formulation contains 1.0% sodium alginate, 0.5% gellan gum, 0. 21% sodium citrate and 0.056% calcium chloride. A single oral dose of IBU-ISG and reference formulation (IBU suspension) were given to each of the 6 healthy Beagle dogs, ibuprofen in plasma at different sampling times was determined by RP-HPLC. The pharmacokinetics parameters in 6 Beagle dogs were calculated. The Tmax of IBU-ISG and reference formulation were (1.8 +/- 0.6) and (0.4 +/- 0. 1) h. The Cmax values were (29.2 +/- 7.6) and (37.8 +/- 2.2) microg x mL(-1). The T(1/2) were (2.3 +/- 0.5) and (2.0 +/- 0.9) h, and the AUC(0-t) were (131.0 +/- 38.6) and (117.3 +/- 23.1) microg x mL(-1) x h, respectively. The binary IBU-ISG was successfully prepared.
