AIM: To investigate the effects and quantitative relations of co-administering probenecid OF different dosages on pharmacokinetics of cefaclor in rabbits and approach the possible mechanisms involved as well. METHODS: Monitor plasma and urine cefaclor concentrations. 24 male rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups by Cefaclor 50 mg·kg-1,Cefaclor50 mg·kg-1+Probenecid 100 mg·kg-1,Cefaclor 50 mg·kg-1+Probenecid 250 mg·kg-1 and Cefaclor 50 mg·kg-1+Probenecid 625 mg·kg-1.Blood and urine samples were collected according to the regular time schedule after intragastric administration. The concentration of cefaclor in blood and urine were determined by HPLC. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS (Drug and Statistical) software. Measur plasma protein-binding rate of cefaclor. The experimental groups and drug dosage were same as described above. The blood sample was drawn at 1 hour after administration,and the protein-binding rate of cefaclor was determined by equilibrium dialysis. RESULTS: Within the dosages of probenecid ranged from 0-250 mg·kg-1,T1/2ka,Tmax,Cmax and AUC of cefaclor increased in accordance with increasing dosage of co-administering probenecid while CL/F and Vd/F were decreased(P<0.01); However,when the dosage of co-administering probenecid was 625 mg·kg-1,Cmax of cefaclor strikingly decreased(P<0.01),while AUC and CL/F maintained at the levels of those with probenecid250 mg·kg-1.In this experiment, urinary excretive peak time of cefaclor in its prototype pos tponed gradually,biological half life prolonged and urinary excretive accumulation percentage decreased obviously(P<0.01).To the dosages of probenecid ranging from 0-250 mg·kg-1,protein-binding rate of cefaclor decreased notably(P<0.01)going with increasing dosages of co-administration probenecid; While the dosage of co-administration probenecid reached 625 mg·kg-1,the protein-binding rate of cefaclor corresponded to that of cefaclor 50 mg·kg-1 without probenecid (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Co-administering probenecid can strikingly change pharmacokinetics of cefaclor and the influential degree of pharmacokinetics parameters is dependent on dosages of probenecid used in the experiment. Biological half life prolongs and urinary excretive accumulation percentage of cefaclor decreases obviously.

Objective To study the effect of retinal dehydrogenase type 2 inhibitor (4-diethylaminobenzaldehyde,DEAB) on embryonic CSrdiac develclpment of zebrafish model with retinoic acid(RA)deficiency. Methods Zebrafish embryos were treated with DEAB at various concentrations including 1×10~(-6),5×10~(-6),10×10~(-6),25×10~(-6)mol/L at 5,8 and 10.3 hours post fertilization,respectively.The effects of DEAB on the embryonic development were assessed under microscope.1×10~(-9)mol/L exogenous RA was then added to detect the antagonistic effect against DEAB.The abnormal cardiac phenotype,heart rate and ventricular systolic fraction were observed and analyzed between wild type and DEAB treated groups.The expression of specific cardiac gene, natriuretic peptide precursor A,was monitored by whole-mount in situ hybridization to demonstrate the effect of RA signaling on early cardiac development. Results The survival rate of zebrafish embryos declined with the increase of DEAB concentration at different developmental stage.The percentage of abnormal embryos reached 100% when DEAB over 5×10~(-6)mol/L.1×10~(-9) mol/L exogenous RA could eliminate the teratogenic effect of DEAB(≥5×10~(-6)mol/L).DEAB treated embryos presented abnormal cardiac phenotype,including tubular heart,incomplete D-loop,abnormal atrioventricular development,regurgitation,slow blood flow and weak heart beat.The difference of heart rate and ventrieular systolic fraction between wild type and RA deficiency embryos was of statistical significance(P<0.05).The natriuretic peptide precursor A expression remained in the ventricle,but reduced obviously in the atrium with RA signaling deficiency. Conclusions The effects of DEAB on the embryonic development are dose-dependent and time-dependent,and could be rescued by exogenous RA.RA signaling plays a critical role in several key stages of early cardiac development and natriuretie peptide precursor A expression.

Objective To improve the classroom environment and students' learning effect and in-novation of classroom teaching mode. Method We took stomatology students of Grade 2012 (control group, 60 people) and Grade 2013 (experimental group, 69 people) as research subjects, and in the control group, the traditional teaching method was used, while the experimental group was based on the mixed mode of the flipped classroom. By comparison of the result of questionnaire survey and final examination between the experimental group and control group, we made clear the difference between blended classroom teaching and traditional classroom teaching. SPSS 16.0 was used for statistical analysis and the data was made t test and rank sum test, and the result was showed by rate and (x±s). Result The classroom performance of the control group was (14.78±4.27), and the experimental result was (14.49±4.49), in the experimental group, the internal and external performance of the experimental group was (22.19±7.21), the experimental result was (7.12±1.33). By comparison of the result of examination between the experimental group (49.01±7.28) and control group (46.32 ±7.44), medical immunology test scores were significantly different (P<0.05), and the experimental group was better than the control group. It showed that the mixed teaching model had more advantages in improving the academic performance. The results of questionnaire survey showed that flipped classroom teaching was better than traditional classroom teaching in ability training which included self learning ability (68.18%, 45 people), analysis and problem solving skills (68.18%, 45 people), team work and communication skills (56.06%, 37 people), ability of retain knowledge (46.97%, 31 people), however students who liked and accepted this new teaching model only accounted for about 30.00%. Conclusion Inte-gration of flipped classroom mode with traditional mode will enhance the students' learning efficiency and achievements, as well as promote students' ability.

AIM: To investigate effects of salvia miltiorrhiza injection on acute myocardial ischemia and hemorheology. METHODS: The acute myocardial ischemia model and blood stasis model were established with high dose adrenaline subcutaneous injection and being socked in ice water. The effect of salvia miltiorrhiza injection on the electrocardiogram J point and T ware of acute myocardial ischemia and the hemorheology of rat blood stasis model were observed. RESULTS: As compared with model groups, middle and high dose groups of salvia miltiorrhiza injection could obviously inhibit the rising of J point and T wave of the ischemic electrocardiogram, all dose groups of salvia miltiorrhiza injection could prevent the ascending of blood viscosity and fibrinogen and hematocrit. CONCLUSION: salvia miltiorrhiza injection can effectively decrease blood viscosity and improve circulatation of coronary artery, and protect ischemic myocardium.

Objective To establish a zebrafish IGFBP-2 gene knock-down model by morphilino modified antisense oligonucleotide injection, so as to investigate the abnormal phenotypes of heart and vessels in early stage of zebrafish development and the expression of zebrafish cardiogenesis related genes. Methods The spatiotemporal expression of IGFBP-2 gene in early stage of zebrafish development was testified by whole mount in situ hybridization with antisense RNA IGFBP-2 probe. The IGFBP-2 morpholino (IGFBP-2 MO) that especially inhibited the gene promoter and standard control morpholino (Con-MO) were designed and synthesized by Gene-tools Corporation. Four different concentration gradients (0.05, 0.10, 0.25 and 1.0 mmol/L) were set as IGFBP-MO injection groups with 0.25 mmol/L Con-MO injection group and wild type group as controls. Contribution to the incidence of heart abnormal phenotypes and mortality rate induced by 4 different IGFBP-2 concentrations injection group was recorded and compared with 2 control groups. Heart abnormal phenotypes at different developmental stages in 0.25 mmol/L IGFBP-2 injection group were observed in detail. To validate the effectiveness of IGFBP-2 MO, the expression of enhanced green fluorescence presented by wild type zebrafish embryos at 12hpf which received single injection of IGFBP-2 EGFP recombinant plasmid and those co-injected with Con-MO or IGFBP-2 MO were detected. To investigate the regulation relationship between IGFBP-2 gene and other cardiogenesis related genes, expression of atrium specific marker gene Amhc was detected in IGFBP-2 MO and wild type group by in situ hybridization. Ventricle specific green fluorescence of Vmhc-EGFP transgenic zebrafish embryos whose IGFBP-2 gene was knocked-down were compared with those untreated. Zebrafish peripheral vascular development in the IGFBP-2 MO group was also checked out by micro-angiography. Results Whole mount in situ hybridization revealed that IGFBP-2 gene expressed in turn at eyes, midbrain and then focused on liver in early stage of zebrafish development. The micro-injection of 0.25 mmol/L IGFBP-2 MO resulted in heart malformation in nearly 60% of all injected zebrafish embryos. Heart malformation phenotypes included slow heart beat, pericardial edema, weak ventricle systole contraction and heart tube looping disorder. Some of them represented atria dilation, blood regurgitation and ciculation obstruction. Wild type zebrafish embryos that received single injection of IGFBP-2 EGFP plasmid DNA or co-injected with Con-MO presented strong enhanced green fluorescence at 12hpf, meanwhile, the fluorescence was barely seen in the embryos co-injected with IGFBP-2 MO. This strongly validated the gene specific knock-down effect of IGFBP-2 MO. Amhc was down-regulated at 48hpf in IGFBP-2 MO group. Vmhc-EGFP transgenic zebrafish down-regulated by IGFBP-2 gene also resulted in attenuated expression of ventriclar-specific green fluorescence protein at 48hpf. Intersegmental blood vessels of IGFBP-2 MO group by micro-angiography at 60hpf demonstrated an sparsate and chaos image, which suggested that IGFBP-2 gene expression was involved in the regulation of normal vascular development. Conclusions Micro-injection of IGFBP-2 MO is an efficient way to knock-down IGFBP-2 gene in zebrafish embryos. IGFBP-2 gene expression down-regulation leads to heart and vessels maldevelopment and have an impact on the expression of cardiogenesis related genes of zebrafish embryos as well. In short, IGFBP-2 plays a critical role in the normal cardiovascular development of zebrafish embryos.
