Aim To investigate the pharmacokinetics of dipfluzine hydrochloride,a novel piperazines calcium antagonist.Methods Eighteen Beagle dogs were randomly divided into three groups,which were administered with dipfluzine hydrochloride at iv single dose of 1.5,3.0 and 6.0 mg?kg-1,respectively.The blood was collected at different time.A RP-HPLC method was developed to determine the concentration of dipfluzine hydrochloride in plasma.The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by 3P97 software.Results The specificity,lowest limit of detection and quantification,extraction recoveries,the precision of intra-and inter-day and stability were qualified to the pharmacokinetic study.The concentration-time courses of dipfluzine hydrochloride were best fitted to a two-compartment open model at three doses.The main pharmacokinetic parameters at three doses were 24.7,24.2 and 29.6 h for T12?,0.44,1.12 and 2.86 g?min?L-1 for AUC,1.30,1.22 and 1.28 L?kg-1 for Vc,and 3.4?10-3,2.7?10-3 and 2.1?10-3 L?kg-1?min-1 for CL,respectively.Conclusions The developed RP-HPLC method for determination of dipfluzine hydrochloride in plasma can satisfy the requirement of pharmacokinetic study after iv dipfluzine hydrochloride.Analysis of plasma concentration-time curves indicates a biphasic decrease.There was a linear relationship between AUC and dosage.

Objective To explore the dynamic expression of ROCK-Ⅰ,p-MBS Thr-697,α-SMA protein and their mRNA in the hepatic fibrogenesis and the changes of actin cytoskeleton.Methods ROCK-Ⅰ and p-MBS Thr-697 protein in liver were determined by Western blot and their mRNA was examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),while the distribution of ROCK-Ⅰ and α-SMA in liver was assessed immunohistochemis-tically.The change of actin cytoskeleton was shown by fluorescence.Results With the development of hepatic fi-brosis,the positive areas in model groups at week 1 to 4 of ROCK-Ⅰ and α-SMA of the rat livers were larger than that in control group respectively(P <0.05).ROCK-Ⅰ,p-MBS Thr-697 ,α-SMA protein and mRNA were increased than that in control group respectively.ROCK-Ⅰ mRNA expression correlated with α-SMA (r =0.718,P <0.05).With the development of liver fibrosis,the images of fluorescence were inhanced.Conclusion With the develop-ment of liver fibrosis,both protein and mRNA of ROCK-Ⅰ increased.

The EPI-SLN at 4 ℃ was stable after storing for 3 months,showing no marked change in mean diameter,? electric potential or entrapment efficiency. CONCLUSION: The prepared EPI-SLN is up to the standard.

Objective: It is difficult to repair large-area Ⅲ?burn wound in children.Here we introduce the advantages of the back skin donor site in repairing Ⅲ?burn wound in children.Methods: This clinical study included 15 children with Ⅲ?burn,ranging in age from 18 months to 11 years(mean 7.6 years),with the Ⅲ?burn wound area averaging at 12.6% of the total body surface.The back skin donor site was used to repair the wound.The functional site,such as the joint,was preferentially considered if the skin graft was not enough for all the wounds.Results: Most of the skin grafts survived and the donor sites on the back healed very well.The patients were followed up for six months to three years,which revealed that the skin grafts remained soft without dysfunction and the scar hyperplasia was mild on the donor site.Conclusion: The back donor site supplies larger-area skin with good quality.The donor site heals fast.After healing,patients could sleep on back and compress the scar so as to prevent scar hyperplasia,and the scar does not affect the patient's appearance.With all these advantages,the back donor site is a good choice for repairing Ⅲ?burn wound in children.

AIM: To explore the role of NO/ inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the metabotromi glutamate receptor 2/3C (mGluR2/3) mediated-brain ischemic tolerance induced by cerebral ischemic preconditioning (CIP), and to observe the influences of α-methyl- (4-tetrazolyl- phenyl) glycine (MTPG), an antagonist of mGluR2/3, on the expression of iNOS during the induction of brain ischemic tolerance. METHODS: Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to four vessel occluding global brain ischemic model. Thionin staining and immunohistochemistry were used for neuropathological evaluation and assay of iNOS expression in the hippocampal CA1 subregion of the rats. RESULTS: In the sham group, weak expression of iNOS was detected. The expression of iNOS in the CIP and CIP+ischemic insult groups were increased significantly compared with that in the sham group. Administration of MTPG via lateral cerebral ventricle 20 min before CIP blocked the up-regulation of iNOS induced by CIP, but had no influence on the pyramidal neuron survival. However, in the MTPG+CIP+ischemic insult group, the expression of iNOS was extremely intensive compared to that in CIP and MTPG+CIP groups. Importantly, this up-regulation was accompanied with obvious delayed neuronal death. CONCLUSION: NO/iNOS pathway plays an important role in the process of mGluR2/3 mediated-brain ischemic tolerance induced by CIP.

Objective To develop a nested PCR for the detection of early syphilis and genotyping of Treponema pallidum (TP), and to investigate the distribution of genotypes of TP in Guangzhou. Methods Specimens were consecutively collected from genital ulcers of patients with suspected chancre during 2002-2004, and were detected by dark-field microscopy and nested PCR. The acidic repeat protein (arp) gene and the T. pallidum repeat (tpr) gene family were amplified with the positive specimens above. The number of repeats presented in the arp gene and the restriction fragment length polymorphism by Mse I in the tpr gene were analyzed by electrophoresis. The strains were genotyped according to Pillay's criteria. Results Out of 62 patients with suspected chancre, 33 cases (53.2%) were positive by dark-field microscopy and 54 cases (87.1%) by nested PCR. Of 47 TP-positive specimens genotyped by arp gene, 36 (76.6%) were type 14, while of 49 cases genotyped by tpr gene 39 (79.6%) were type d. By combining genotypes of arp and tpr genes, 7 genotypes were found, including 14d (31, 66.0%), 13d (5, 10.6%), 14b (4, 8.5%), 12b (3, 6.4%), 12d (2, 4.3%), 15d(l, 2.2%) and 14i (1, 2.2%). Conclusions Nested PCR shows a high sensitivity in early detection of TP. Genotype 14d seems the predominant type of TP in Guangzhou.
