China Pharmacy 2007;0(34):-
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of moxifloxacin on pharmacokinetics of phenytoin sodium in rabbits. METHODS: A total of 10 rabbits were injected with phenytoin sodium (10 mg?kg-1) via the vein in ear edge,with serum samples taken at 10,30,60,120,240,360,and 480 min,respectively for establishing phenytoin sodium alone group. 48 h after the last sampling,the rabbits were given oral moxifloxacin (10 mg?kg-1) for 5 consecutive days;on day 6,the rabbits were injected with phenytoin sodium (10 mg?kg-1) at 2 h after oral administration of moxifloxacin,then serum samples were taken at different time points for establishing combination group of phenytoin sodium and moxifloxacin. The serum concentrations of phenytoin sodium at different time points were determined by UV-spectrophotometry and the pharmacokinetic parameters were computed with 3p97 program. RESULTS: The plasma concentration of phenytoin sodium reduced in the combination group compared with alone group. The AUC in the two groups was (5 836.22?489.13) vs. (4 329.21?344.67) mg?min?L-1 (P0.05). CONCLUSION: The elimination of phenytoin sodium was significantly accelerated by combination with moxifloxacin.

Objective To investigate the elationship between the expression of Cathepsin D and Laminin receptors with the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancers.Methods Cathepsin D and Laminin receptors immunoreactivities were evaluated in 96 patients with gastric cancer using streptavaclin pemxidase method.Results Over expression of Cathepsin D in gastric cancer tissue was significantly related with the depth of invasion,lymphnode metastasis and grade of differentiation (P<0.01,P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively).Moreover,the high expression of Lamninin receptors in gastric cancer had significant correlations with the invasion depth and grade of differentiation(P<0.05 and P<0.01);The positive expression of Laminin receptors were not significantly related with lymph node metastasis(P>0.05).By statistics analysis Cathepsin D had a significant positive correlation with Laminin receptors (P<0.05). Conclusion Cathepsin D and Laminin Receptors play all important role in the invasion and metastasis of gastric Cancers.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of liraglutide on the differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) into insulin-producing cells (IPCs).MethodsIn vitro,hBM-MSCs were induced into IPCs by three-stage induction procedure containing high glucose,nicotinamide,and liraglutide.The morphological change of cells was observed by inverted microscope during induction and the induced cells were confirmed by dithizone(DTZ) staining.The protein expressions of pancreatic and duodenal homeobox-1 (PDX-1),glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2),glucokinase(GK),and insulin in each stage of the induced cells were detected by Western blot.Insulin secretion was measured by ELISA.ResultsThe induced effect was pronounced after adding 10 nmol/L liraglutide for 7 days.Cells began to aggregate and get round gradually during induction,and the morphology of most cells appeared as grape-like aggregation and clustered islet-like cells by the end of induction.The number of DTZ positive cells and the protein expressions of PDX-1,GLUT2,GK,and insulin were increased gradually( P<0.05 ).The basal and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from induced cells was also increased gradually(P<0.05).Conclusion BM-MSCs could be induced into IPCs by high glucose,nicotinamide,and liraglutide in vitro.

Objective To understand the structures and functions of enterovirus 71 (EV71)VP1 gene and its encoded protein using bioinformatics method, so as to direct studies of its biological function. Methods VP1 gene and its encoded protein of EV71 2008-GZCH07 strain and other representative EV71 strains were analyzed by online analysis at bioinformatics websites and software packages. Multi-sequence homological alignment and phylogenetic analysis were performed.Physicochemical characteristics, secondary structure, homology modeling of tertiary structure,enzymological characteristics, antigenic epitope of VP1 gene encoded protein were predicted. Results The homology of EV71 2008-GZCH07 strain was highest (97% and 98%) with ZJ001 strain, and lowest with human coxsackievirus A16. The homology of EV71 2008-GZCH07 strain and EV71 types A,B,C was 86%-98%. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that 2008-GZCH07 stain was close to ZJ001 and BJ08-Z025-5 stains, which belonged to C4 subtype. In VP1 encoded proteins of EV71 types A,B,C, the relationship between 2008-GZCH07 and EV71-B, EV71-C was closer than EV71-A.The whole length of VP1 gene was 510 bp, with open reading frame (ORF) located at 116-510 bp region,and it encoded 132 amino acids with isoelectric point of 4.39.The protein was rich of a-helix and random coilon without transmembrane regions, and contained 5 high hydrophobic regions and belonged to extracellular protein. The homology modeling of tertiary structure showed that the region was on the surface of protein and formed a binding loop. There was 5 antigen epitopes. And 7 key catalytic sites were located at or close to the loop. Conclusions EV71-VP1 encoded protein contains many phosphorylation sites, with many biological function sites and antigenic epitope regions, which might be a potential target antigen for immunodiagnosis, anti-schistosome drug and vaccine development, and would be basis of further study of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of EV71 infection.

Objective Discbuss the hypertension prevalence rate in the Wuhan male taxi drivers and the dangerous factor to provide the basis for its professional publie health work. Methods The Wuhan male taxi drivers were carried on the healthy physical examination who in the Hubei province medicine medical examination center during 2005-2007 and were carried on the epidemiology statistical analysis. Results The Wuhan male taxi drivers hypertension prevalence rate is 28.28%. That is higher than the common crowd. Hypertension leaves outside the heredity factor and be closely correlated with the age of harnesses, the body weight index, and so on. Conclusions The Wuhan male taxi drivers'hypertension prevalence rate is unoptimistic. We should take the synthesis preventing and controlling measure to reduce this crowd hypertension prevalence rate.

Objective To investigate the effects of 2.45 GHz microwave on the apoptosis of HeLa cells and explore the underlying mechanism.Methods HeLa cells were divided into five groups randomly:control group,sham-irradiation group,and three irradiation groups exposed with 10,15 and 20 mW/cm2 2.45 GHz microwave for 10 min.Cell survival was tested by MTT assay,cell nucleus fashion was observed by a laser scanning confocal microscope,cell cycle distribution was measured by flow cytometry,and cell protein expressions were detected by Western blot.Results The cell survival in control group,shamirradiation group and low dose irradiation group had no difference but it became lower in the middle and high dose irradiated group(t =-16.47,-14.23,P < 0.05).The abnormal rates of nuclear fashion in the low,middle and high dose irradiation groups were obviously higher compared with control group (t =9.37,11.25,8.47,P < 0.05),while high dose irradiation group was higher than the low and middle dose group (t =15.32,10.25,P <0.05).The rate of HeLa cells in sub-G1 in the irradiation groups were higher than that in control group (t =15.24,22.31,10.69,P < 0.05).The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of Bax and Caspase-3 in irradiation groups was significantly increased,and the expression of Bcl-2 was decreased.Conclusions 2.45 GHz microwave can induce HeLa cells apoptosis with a positive correlation with microwave dose.
