Objective To explore the effect of pre-operation intestinal preparation by orally taking magnesium sulfate of different concentrations. Methods 50 patients were divided into the high-concentration group and the low - concentration group, according to the concentration of magnesium sulfate orally taken for pre-operation intestinal preparation. Some factors were compared between the two groups including: the acting amount of water, starting and lasting timing of magnesium sulfate, times of stool, the efficiency of the intestinal preparation, the tolerance, uncomfortable reaction and changes of serum electrolyte of the patients. Results There were no difference between the two groups on the acting amount of water, starting and lasting timing of magnesium sulfate, times of stool, the efficiency of the intestinal preparation, the tolerance of the patients. The rate of the stool without solid substance was higher in the high-concentration group than the low-concentration group(40% vs 8%). The uncomfortable reaction rate was also higher in the high-concentration group, the concentration of serum electrolyte decreased in both groups, among which serum Ca2+ decreased significantly in the low-concentration group. Conclusions Orally taking magnesium sulfate of different concentrations both has effect on bowel preparation, influence on patients' serum electrolyte is remarkable.

Objective:To study the pharmacokinetics and relative bioavailability of isosorbide 5 mononitrate(5 ISMN)sustained release capsules in 12 male healthy volunteers. Methods: A capillary gas chromatography method with electron captured detector was established for the determination of 5 ISMN in plasma, after administrating a daily dose of 40 mg 5 ISMN domestic and imported sustained release capsules in a randomized crossover design.The fluctuation of 5 ISMN valley concentrations observed and the steady state pharmacokinetics was characterized in a multiple dose schedule of 40 mg 5 ISMN sustained release capsules.Results:The steady state of 5 ISMN plasma concentrations reached at the fourth oral administration.The steady state pharmacokinetic parameters after multiple oral dose of 40 mg 5 ISMN domestic and imported sustained release capsules were as follows: t max were (4.8?0.6) and (4.8?0.9) h, c max were (802.46?94.45) and (807.09?109.16) ?g/L, c min were (127.83?23.76) and (121.85?22.00) ?g/L, AUC ss were (8 114.7?1 393.4) and (8 174.8?1 219.7) ?g?h/L, c av were (338.12?58.06) and (340.62?50.82) ?g/L,the degree of fluctuation (DF) were (2.04?0.39) and (2.03?0.33), respectively. Conclusion:The relative bioavailability of multiple oral dose of 40 mg domestic 5 ISMN sustained release capsules is (99.07?5.45)%, there are no significant differences in the main steady state pharmacokinetic parameters between domestic and imported sustained release capsules, and so the 2 capsules are bioequivalent.

Objective To investigate the intestinal absorption kinetics of breviscapine in rats.MethodsThe intestinal absorption in small intestine and colon of rats in situ was investigated using circular perfusion and HPLC methods.The in situ absorption of scutellarin in the small intestine was studied and the effects on the intestinal absorption were observed at the various concentrations and different pH values using the same methods.Results The results showed that there were significant differences in both absorptive percentage and absorption rate constant(ka)in the small intestine between the experimental groups of rats with and without bile duct being ligated.The absorption rate constants in small intestine and colon were(0.107 1?0.013 0)and(0.070 7?0.008 9)h-1,respectively.No saturation phenomenon occurred and ka was almost kept unchanged at different concentrations of breviscapine.The absorption of breviscapine was not influenced by pH values ranging from 6.0 to 7.4.Conclusion The results indicates that breviscapine is absorbed more in small intestine than in colon.The absorption of breviscapine complied with the passive diffusion mechanism and first order kinetics.In conclusion,these results suggest that breviscapine could be prepared in oral sustained-release dosage form.

0.05).But the P_ eff values were significantly increased in the presence of P-glycoportein(P-gp)inhibitor,verapamil or digoxin.CONCLUSION:Rhamnosylvitexin can be classified into high penetrating drug.Passive diffusion dominates the absorptive transport behavior of rhamnosylvitexin in HLF.There is not a preferential absorption zone in the intestine for rhamnosylvitexin.The absorption and secretion of rhamnosylvitexin in HLF are mediated by the efflux transport system,P-gp.

Objective: To evaluate pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic of repaglinide tablets in Chinese subjects.Methods: Twenty healthy male volunteers were enrolled in the study. A single dose (4 mg) of repaglinide tablets was givenorally. Plasma concentrations of repaglinide were determined by HPLC method. Blood glucose and serum insulin leve1s weremeasured by biochemistry and radioimmunoassay methods respectively. Results: Plasma concentration-time curve conformedto one-compartment open model. The pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows: tmax (0. 75?0.43 ) h,cmax (54.44?24.97)ng/ml, t1/2 (0. 80?0. 31) h, MRT (1. 55?0. 41) h, C1/F (61. 43?20. 10) L/h and AUC (73. 34?29.95) h? ng/ml. Thelevel of serum insulin was raised and the level of blood glucose decreased after administration of repaglinide. The highest levelof serum insulin was (l26. 24?95.93) mU/L at 0.75h and blood glucose level reached its lowerest vaIue (2. 34I0.44) mmol/L 1 h after oral administration. Conclusion: Repaglinide is characterised by fast-acting and short effects on in-sulin secretion. It decreases serum glucose level by stimulating insulin secretion from the pancreatic ?-cells. It is a novel oralprandial glucose regulator for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
