Aim To evaluate the bioequivalence of demestic brodimoprim capsules and imported hyprim tablets and provide experimental basis for clinical application. MethodsA single dosage of Brodimoprim or hyprim was given to 18 healthy volunteers in a randomized 2-way cross-over test and the brodimoprim concentrations in plasma were determined by HPLC with β-naphtol as internal standard. The pharmacokinetic parameters and the relative bioavailability of the two preparations were calculated and their bioequivalence was evaluated. ResultsThe major pharmacokinetic parameters of test and reference preparations were as follows respectively:t1/2(α) (2.1 + 1.0) and (1.9+± 0.9) h, t1/3(β)(43.2±4.8) and (42.4±4.3)h, Tpeak(3.4±1.6) and (3.1±1.5) h,Cmax(5.9+ 0.9) and (5.9±1.0)μg · ml-1, AUC0~132(360.2± 55.3) and (358.7±52.6) μg · h · ml-1, AUC0~∞ (423.8±56.0) and (422.5±51.1) μg · h · ml-1. The relative bioavailability(F) of brodimprim capsules was (99.7± 4.8)%。 Conclusion . The multi-factorial analysis of variance showed that there was no significant difference in AUC0- 132between the test and reference preparations (P> 0.05) . The bioequivalent assumption was proved by further two one-side t-test and (1~2 α) confidence interval analysis in individuals, periods and forms of these two preparations.

Objective To study the feasibility and curative effect of laparoscopic radical resection of rectal carcinoma. Methods Twenty-eight cases undergoing laparoscopic radical resection (laparoscopic group) and 26 cases undergoing open radical resection (open group) were enrolled from January 2004 to December 2007. The following parameters: operation-related situations, postoperative recovery,result of radical resection, and postoperative outcome were compared between the two groups. Results The blood loss during operation in laparoscopic group was less than that in open group [(148.0±26.5) ml vs (396.0±79.6) ml, P<0.01]. The gastrointestinal tract and urination function in laparoseopic group recovered faster than those in open group[the time of diet in taking was (2.8±0.1) d vs (3.9±0.3) d,the time of detaining urethral catheter was(4.2±0.2) d vs (6.0±0.8) d] (P<0.05). The hospital stay was shorter in laparoscopic group than that in open group [(9.8±1.1) d vs(13.2±2.8) d, P<0.01]. The operation time, the number of cleared lymph nodes and complications of laparoscopic between the two groups were no significant difference (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in local recurrent and beyond metastases rates between the two groups. Conclusion Laparoscopic radical resection of rectal carcinoma parallels with open surgery is in safety and effectiveness, it has less traumatic and blood loss and faster in patients recovery.
