The aim of this study is to synthesize the ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) as drug carrier to improve release property of insoluble drug and investigate the dissolution profile of insoluble drug from the porous carrier. The OMS was obtained by using cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide as the template and resveratrol was selected as the model drug. The resveratrol-loaded OMS (Res-OMS) were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption-desorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FT-IR spectroscopy. In vitro drug release behavior was also investigated. It was found that the synthesized OMS showed a large surface area, a narrow pore size distribution and an important mesoporosity associated to hexagonally organized channels. Compared with physical mixture and crystalline powder, resveratrol was in amorphous or molecular form after loading into OMS. The release rate ofresveratrol from drug-loaded OMS was significantly increased suggesting the great potential application of OMS for the formulation of poorly soluble drugs.

OBJECTIVE:To study the improvement effect and mechanism of Meng medicine Wuwei Shaji powder(WSP)on smoke-induced lung inflammation injury in mice. METHODS:ICR mice were randomly divided into blank group(normal saline), model group (normal saline) and WSP group (2 g/kg). Mice in model group and WSP group received passive smoking to induce model of lung inflammation injury,and intragastrically administrated relevant medicine when modeling,once a day,for 28 d. Af-ter administration,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),IL-6,IL-10 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids(BALF);the pathological changes of lung tissue were observed by op-tical microscope after hematoxylin-eosin staining;Western blot was adopted to detect the protein expressions of extracellular sig-nal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2),phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2),p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK),phos-phorylated p38 MAPK(p-p38 MAPK),nuclear factor kappaB p65(NF-κB p65)and phosphorylated NF-κB p65(p-NF-κB p65)in lung tissue of mice. RESULTS:Compared with blank group,TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6 levels in BALF in model group were obviously increased (P<0.01);lung tissue showed significant inflammatory lesions;and the protein expressions of p-ERK1/2, p-p38 MAPK,p-NF-κB p65 in lung tissue were obviously increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group,TNF-α,IL-1β levels in BALF in WSP group were obviously decreased(P<0.05);inflammation injury in lung tissue was obviously improved;and protein expressions of p-p38 MAPK and p-NF-κB p65 in lung tissue were obviously decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:WSP shows improvement effect on smoke-induced lung inflammation injury in mice,which might be by blocking the p38 MAPK,NF-κB p65 phosphorycation to inhibit the high expression of inflammatory factors as TNF-αand IL-6.
