OBJECTIVE:To compare the dissolution rates of levofloxacin tablets produced in 4 domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers in order to provide the evidence for its clinical use.METHODS:UV spectrohpotmetry was used to determine the cumulative dissolution rates of these 4 kinds of levofloxacin tablets at different time points,the dissolution parameters of T50,Td,T80,and M were calculated by Weibull formula,then variance analysis was made.RESULTS:The dissolution rates of these 4 kinds of levofloxacin tablets all met the standards recorded in 2000 edition of China Pharmacopoeia,but significant differences were found in parameters of T50,Td,T80,and M(P

In this study,we constructed 2 eukaryotic expressing plasmids namely pcS2?S and pFP,encoding HBV preS2+S envelope protein and human IL 2/IFN ? fusion protein, respectively. The double plasmid fusion protein was used as an adjuvant in preparation of a treatment type HBV gene vaccine. To investigate its feasibility for use as a therapeutic DNA vaccine, we've evaluated the immune response after injection into healthy mice, HBV transgenic(Tg) mice, New Zealand rabbits and Rhesus monkeys. The results showed that the therapeutic DNA vaccine can improve: (1)the CTL activity; (2)the HBsAg(30?g/ml) specific T lymphocyte proliferation in which the stimulation index(SI) and cytokines(IL 2/IFN r) release levels of the pS2.S immunized group(SI=5.6?0.9; 226.3?41.1/51.1?7.1pg/ml) were significantly higher( P

Objective To investigate the correlation of long term aspirin treatment and cerebral microbleeds(CMBs)incidence in non-hypertensive patients.Methods 56 non-hypertensive patients (the average age of 64.88±6.99)with long term aspirin adminis-tration (100 mg/d)were enrolled in the study from 2005 to 2010 in our hospital,with follow up to compare CMBs 5-10 years later. All patients underwent T2 WI,T1 WI,diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI).The CMBs lesions were defined by senior radiologists.Patients’age,gender,total cholesterol level,aspirin,CMBs and CMBs location were taken into account in data analysis.Results CMBs incidence was 14.3% in all participants,lesions were located mostly in lobes.Aged,male and low total cholesterol level were the risk factors of CMBs (P<0.05).Patients with CMBs were more likely to suffer from acute cere-bral infarction (P<0.05).Two of 56 patients with new CMBs lesions located in lobar and mixed location respectively only.Conclusion Long term aspirin administration does not increase the risk of CMBs in non-hypertensive patients(P>0.05),the potential adverse effect of aspirin needs further investigation.

OBJECTIVE:To study the quality standard of compound polysaccharide selenate capsules(CPSC).METHODS:Astragalus and oldenlandia were identified by TLC method and the content of selenium in CPSC was determined by fluo?rospectrophotometry.RESULTS:Linear range was0～0.5?g/ml and average recovery was100.4%,RSD=0.91%(n=5). CONCLUSION:This method is simple and accurate,and can be used for quality control of CPSC.

The peptides from HBV cytotoxic T lymphocyte(CTL) epitope were used to either stimulate or impact the immune effector (E) or CTL target (T) cells respectively, in order to investigate the cellular immune response induced by DNA vaccination in both healthy and HBV transgenic (Tg) mice. It was found that HBV DNA based immunization could induce CTL activity in healthy BALB/c mice, with intensity correlated with the E/T ratio and IFN ? secretion level in its supernatants. The target cells hit by HBsAg CTL epitope peptide(pp20) could be lysed by the active CTL induced by HBV DNA vaccine encoding preS2 and HBsAg, while the cell lysis could not be observed in the target cells impacted by the HBcAg CTL epitope peptide (pp10). The supernatant IL 12 secretion level (211 3?39 8pg?ml -1 ) in the DNA vaccination group was significantly( P

To develop an effective therapeutic HBV DNA vaccine, two eukaryotic expressing plasmids, namely pcDNAS 2 ?S and pcDNAIIF , which respectively encoding HBV middle envelope protein preS 2 ?S and human IL 2/IFN ? fusion protein, were constructed by DNA recombinant technique. After identification by restriction analysis and DNA sequencing, the constructed recombinant plasmids were transfected into COS 7 cells in vitro with transfection reagent Lipofectamine. The expressed product in supernatant was quantified by ELISA , and the biologic activities of IL 2 and IFN ? were assayed by CTLL 2 cell line proliferation and cytopathogenic inhibition, respectively. The results showed that secretive expression of preS 2 ?S and hIL 2/hIFN ? fusion protein peaked at 48h after transfection, and the expression levels were HBsAg(P/N)=7 63, IL 2=10 35ng/ml, and IFN ?=7 90ng/ml. The IL 2 and IFN ? activities in the culture supernatant of COS 7 cells transfected with pcDNAIIF were 998U/ml and 249U/ml, respectively. These results suggested that the recombinant plasmids pcDNAS 2 ?S and pcDNAIIF were correctly constructed and the transfected cells could express secretive active protein.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of high volume hemofiltration (HVHF) combined with mechanical ventilation (MV) on seawater respiratory distress syndrome (SW-RDS) canine models.MethodsTen nomal hybrid dogs were randomly assigned into two groups:MV group(MV group,n=5),all the animals only received MV after establishing model successfully; HVHF combined with MV group (HVHF+MV group,n=5),all were received HVHF plus MV after establishing model successfully.Both groups were observed for 4 hours.Mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR),central venous pressure(CVP),arterial blood gas and venous plasma osmotic pressure were detected at baseline,0 min(model establishment),60 min,120 min,180 min,240min after treatment.Venous blood was collected to detect inflammatory mediators (IL-8,IL-6,TNF-α)at baseline,0 min,120 min,240 min after treatment.The lung pathology was examined at the end of the experiment.Results(1)All the animals were suvival after four hous of treatment in both groups. (2)Pattial pressure ofoxygen(PaO2) and O2 saturation(SaO2) rised after four hours of treatment in both groups(P＜0.05), and HVHF+MV group was better than MV group.After 4 hours of treatment,pH,actual bicarbonate (AB),bases excess(BE) in HVHF+MV group were significantly better than those in MV group(P＜0.05),recovering to the baseline values.(3)MAP,HR,CVP were stable during the four hours of treatment,and compared with 0 min,there was no significant differences after 4 hours of treatment in bothgroups. There were no significant differemces at the same time of treatment in both groups. (4)Plasma osmotic pressure were stable during the four hours of treatment,and compared with 0 min,there was no significant difference in MV group.But in HVHF+MV group,osmotic pressure was significantly higher after 4 hours of treatment than that at the same time in MV group(P＜0.05),and compared with 0 min and 180 min,those were higher too(P＜0.01). (5)Compared with those at the same time in MV group,plasma inflammatory mediators (IL-8,IL-6,TNF-α) were significantly decreased after 4 hours of treatment in HVHF+MV group(P＜0.01).After 4 hours of treatment IL-8,TNF-α in MV group were higher than those at the same time in 0 min (P＜0.05).(6)Compared with those in MV group,there were less infiltration of neutrophils,edema and injury of alveolar epithelium from pulmonary pathology.ConclusionsHVHF combined with MV can significantly improve hypoxemia and correct acidosis of SW-RDS model in canines.HVHF can effectively clear plasma inflammatory mediators and redundant water,improve pulmonary pathology changes.HVHF has no impact on MAP,HR and CVP of SW-RDS.

Objective To analyse the effect of antivirus treatment on the survival time of chronic severe hepatitis B retrospectively.Methods one hundred and twenty-one patients with chronic severe hepatitis B and positive HBV DNA were divided into 3 groups:42 patients in entecavir(ETV)group,34 patients in lamivudine(LVD)group and 45 patients in control group.The primary data were recorded and followed.The survival curve was described using Kaolain-Maier method.The comparison of survival rate among groups was done using Logrank test.Results The baseline characteristics were well balanced among 3 groups.When the follow-up ended,the mean survival time of ETV group,LVD group and control group was(49.4±5.8)weeks,(51.6±6.7)weeks,(32.8±5.7)weeks;the total survival rate was 0.567,0.557,0.318 respectively,there was a statistical difference between ETV group and control grouP(χ2=5.742,P<0.05),or between LVD group and control group (χ2=5.472,P<0.05).There was not statistical difference between ETV group and LVD group in the week of 2,4,8,12,24,48.Conclusion ETV and LVD can improve the survival rate of chronic severe heoatitis B,and ETV iS not different from LVD.
