Objective To investigate the promotion effect of human transcriptional positive cofactor 4 (PC4) overexpression on lymphatic metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma .Methods 96 samples of lung adenocarcinoma tissue were collected .The immuno‐histochemistry(IHC) and real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) were adopted for detecting the expression levels of PC4 protein and mRNA .The correlation of PC4 expression with lymphatic metastasis and TNM stage was analyzed .Re‐sults The expression of PC4 protein was positively correlated mRNA in lung adenocarcinoma (r=0 .63 ,P<0 .01);the expression of PC4 protein was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis (χ2 =8 .29 ,P<0 .01) and TNM stage (χ2 =4 .71 ,P<0 .05);the expression of PC4 mRNA was also positively correlated with lymph node metastasis (χ2 = 8 .40 ,P< 0 .01) and TNM stage (χ2 =5 .10 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion PC4 overexpression is found to be closely associated with the lymph node metastasis and TNM stage .PC4 may facilitate the lymph node metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma .

Taking plastic packaging materials as an example, this paper mainly summarizes the general principles of pharmacopoeias and guiding principles of relevant government departments related to the compatibility studies of drugs and packaging materials at home and abroad, with much reference to relevant monographs and literature. The purpose and specific methods of extraction and interaction studies are summarized and discussed. The existing problems and solutions in compatibility research are also proposed in this review to provide some refe-rence for researchers in relevant fields.

2,6-dimethylbenzenamine was determined as a genotoxic impurity in lidocaine hydrochloride injection, and 2-chloro-N-(2,6- dimethylphenyl) acetamide was determined as potential genotoxic impurity. An LC-MS/MS method was established to research the profiling of genotoxic impurities in active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), homemade preparation and reference preparation on column Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18(4.6 mm250 mm，5 μm). The results show that in the homemade preparation the 2,6-dimethylbenzenamine and the 2-chloro-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl) acetamide may be degraded under oxidation condition and alkaline condition in addition to the introduction from API preparation process. This study provides guidance for genotoxic risk assessment and prescription process optimization of lidocaine hydrochloride.

As one of the most important biological drugs, protein and peptide drugs have been increasingly used in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases in recent years. However, most of them need to be injected and lack of long-acting formulations, which brings many troubles to patients suffering from chronic diseases. In this review, we summarized the strategies for engineering long-acting formulations for proteins and peptides via preparation means, including extended-release injection, implant, oral preparations and transdermal drug delivery systems, and analyzed their release mechanisms, research advances, advantages and shortcomings, thereby providing potential approaches for promoting the formulation improvement of these drugs.

The gas chromatography method was developed for the determination of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol in poloxamer 188 to provide scientific basis for the quality control. The samples was separated on column VF-17ms(30 m×0. 53 mm, 1. 0 μm)with temperature programming, inlet temperature was 270 °C, detector temperature was 290 °C and the split ratio was 10 ∶1. The method showed great linearity over the range of 6-15 μg/mL(r≥0. 999). The injection precision(n=8)of the three residual impurities were 3. 3%, 3. 0%, 2. 3% and the average recoveries were 99. 05%(RSD=2. 9%, n=9), 102. 20%(RSD=4. 0%, n=9), 101. 91%(RSD=3. 1%, n=9), respectively. The analytical method is specific, accurate and sensitive, which is suitable for the determination of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and triethylene glycol in poloxamer 188, providing reference and guidance for the production and quality control of poloxamer 188.

Pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin, an important part in pharmaceutical excipients, are widely used in pharmaceutical preparations.However, compared with the pharmaceutical excipients of other origins, pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin have more special requirements in many aspects, such as raw materials, production, quality control, storage, supervision, etc.Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 first included the Guideline for Pharmaceutical Excipients of Animal Origin, which introduces the basic ideas and technical requirements for the life cycle quality control of pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin based on the risk management concept.This article illustrates the specificity of the pharmaceutical excipients of animal origin, and interprets the main contents of this guideline in conjunction with relevant domestic and foreign regulations and technical documents, thereby providing comprehensive reference for the implementation of the guideline.
