Objective To establish a method for measuring serum content of gentiopicroside in Beagle dogs and to explore its internal pharmacokinetic features. Methods The rapid and sensitive HPLC method was adopted as external standard. After intravenous injection of gentiopicroside, serum samples of the Beagle were collected and measured on C18 reverse-phase chromatographic column after liquid -liquid extraction. Results The linear range of gentiopicroside was 0.1343~687.375 ?g?mL-1(r2=0.99993). The recovery was within 81.15 %~97.99 %. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.1343 ?g?mL-1. Conclusion The pharmacokinetic process of gentiopicroside can be described as one-compartment model with intravenous injection , t1/2 = 1.1324 h, Ke = 0.5811 h-1, V= 0.5316 L?kg-1, CL = 0.3274 L?kg-1?h-1. This indicates that gentiopicroside can be quickly distributed and eliminated and is not liable to be accumulated in the body.

Epidemiological surveys show that folic acid can prevent prostate cancer, but fortified folic acid may increase the risk of the malignancy. The physician data queries from the National Cancer Institute of the USA describe folate as protective against prostate cancer, whereas its synthetic analog, folic acid, is considered to increase prostate cancer risk when taken at levels easily achievable by eating fortified food or taking over-the-counter supplements. We review the current literature to examine the effects of folate and folic acid on prostate cancer, help interpret previous epidemiologic data, and provide a clarification regarding the apparently opposing roles of folate for patients with prostate cancer. A literature search was conducted in Medline to identify studies investigating the effect of nutrition and specifically folate and folic acid on prostate carcinogenesis and progression. In addition, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database was analyzed for the trends in serum folate levels before and after mandatory fortification. Folate likely plays a dual role in prostate carcinogenesis. There remains some conflicting epidemiologic evidence regarding folate and prostate cancer risk. However, there is growing experimental evidence that higher circulating folate levels can contribute to prostate cancer progression. Further research is needed to clarify these complex relationships.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of GSH on lung injury in rats with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) and investigate the mechanism of severe acute pancreatitis associated lung injury. Methods Fifty-four Spragwe Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group, model(SAP)group and herbal group. Rats in model group and herbal group were induced pancreatitis by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatobiliary duct. Animals were killed at 3h, 6h, 12h after injection. The serum amylase was examined at 3h, 6h, 12h after injection. Pulmonary tissue fluid content was measured.The expression of pulmonary TNF-α mRNA and LIF mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results The serum level of amylase was lowered significantly in herbal group in comparision with that in model group (P<0.05) and pulmonary tissue fluid content in herbal group was reduced compared with model group (P<0.05). Similarly, the level of pulmonary TNF-α mRNA and LIF mRNA expressions was both significantly reduced in herbal group compared with model group (P<0.05). LIF mRNA was not examined in normal control group. Conclusion Treatment with GSH can prevent lung injury of rats with SAP.
