OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of natural emulsifier acacia senegal on in vivo and in vitro performance of chloro-genic acid self-microemulsion. METHODS:Chlorogenic acid self-microemulsion containing acacia senegal(new chlorogenic acid self-microemulsion)was prepared by using acacia senegal to gradually replace polysorbate 80 in chlorogenic acid self-microemul-sion containing nonionic emulsifier (traditional chlorogenic acid self-microemulsion). The appearance,morphology,particle size,conductivity,pH value,stability,in vitro release and intestinal absorption kinetics of the 2 kinds self-microemulsions were evaluated. RESULTS:50%of polysorbate 80 was replaced by acacia senegal in new chlorogenic acid self-microemulsion. The tradi-tional and new chlorogenic acid self-microemulsions had clear appearance,and approximately spherical drops. Particle sizes were (24.53 ± 3.03),(35.51 ± 5.91) nm;dectrical conductivities were (195.6 ± 0.3),(189.5 ± 0.4)μs/cm;and pH were 3.87 ± 0.02, 4.08 ± 0.03 (n=3),respectively. Compared with traditional chlorogenic acid self-microemulsion,the absorption rate constant,ef-fective permeability coefficient and absorption amount of the new one in duodenum,jejunum,ileum were increased a little (P>0.05);the above indexes in colon were obviously decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The new chlorogenic acid self-micro-emulsion can maintain the performance of traditional one,and increase absorption of chlorogenic acid in small intestine.

Objective To observe the effects of physical agents therapy on serum hs-CRP, TNF-α andadiponectin in patients with cerebral infarction and the possible underlying mechanisms. Methods Sixty patientswith cerebral infarction were randomly and equally divided into two groups: 30 cases were treated with physical a-gents therapy ( physical therapy group) , and 30 with drugs only ( drug treated group). Thirty normal subjectsserved as the control group. The level of hs-CRP in the serum was determined by latex agglutination reaction, TNF-and adiponectin were determined by using ELISA before and after therapy. Results The levels of serum hs-CRP and TNF-α of patients with cerebral infarction before therapy were much higher than those of the control group,but adiponectin was significantly lower than those of the control group( P < 0.01 ). After therapy, the levels of ser-um hs-CRP and TNF-α were decreased and adiponectin was increased significantly in both treated groups ( P <0.01 ). Comparison with two treated groups showed that the levels of hs-CRP and TNF-α were lower and adiponec-tin was obviously higher in physical agents therapy group than those in the drug treated group ( P < 0.05 ). Con-clusion The patients with cerebral infarction have low level of serum adiponectin. Physical therapy might exertbeneficial effects on patients with cerebral infarction by the decreasing serum hs-CRP and TNF-α, as well as by ele-vating adiponectin.

Phospho-histone H2AX(γH2AX) has been widely used in vitro genotoxicity evaluation of ionizing radiation, carcinogenic substances and cigarette smoke as an important biomarker of DNA double stranded breaks ( DSBs) . The study developed an enzyme-linked immunesorbent assay for detection of the content ofγH2AX in cells to evaluate the genotoxicity of cigarette smoke. The study exposed CHO cells with cigarette smoke total particulate matter ( TPM) and cigarette smoke condensate ( CSC) of different dose, dose-effect relationship between smoke exposure and DNA damage and the poisonous difference of cigarette smoke components has been investigated by detecting the content change ofγH2 AX in cells under different exposure time and dose. In addition, reactive oxygen species ( ROS) in cells were also detected to study the mechanism of cigarette smoke exposure induced DSBs. The experiment result showed that the required time for the level ofγH2AX in cells grew to the peak prolonged with increased exposure dose. Once the level of γH2AX in cells grew to the peak value, then it decreased slowly; the level of γH2AX in cells rised with increasing dose of cigarette smoke;The effect of TPM on the content change of γH2AX was more than CSC; Moreover, smoke exposure could induce concentration increase of ROS in cells, and a good correlation of content change of ROS and γH2AX in cells were found, free radicals in cigarette smoke may be one major cause of DSBs.
