A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for quantification of sitagliptin in human plasma and urine had been developed. This method was applied to the pharmacokinetics study of sitagliptin tablet after single- and multiple-dosing in Chinese population. Plasma samples were prepared by a liquid-liquid extracted method, and urine samples were diluted. Compounds were analyzed by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with a electrospray ionization (ESI) interface. Mobile phase consisted of methanol and water (85 : 15, v/v). The linear concentration range of calibration curve was 0.5-1 000 ng.mL-1. and 0.2-100 µg.mL , intra-run/between-run accuracy was 98.98%-103.69% and 97.63%-102.29%, intra-run/between-run precision was <5.51% and 4.26% for plasma and urine sample, respectively. The stability of sitagliptin stock solution was tested for 55 days at -30 °C. Sitagliptin was stable when stored under the following conditions: 24 hours in the autosampler after sample preparation; 24 hours at room temperature, after 3 freeze and thaw cycles (from -30 °C to room temperature), 40 days at -30 °C for plasma and urine samples. The absolute recovery in plasma was 71.1%, and no matrix effect was founded. This method was proved simple, specific, sensitive, rapid and suitable for pharmacokinetics study of sitagliptin in human being.

2.Effect of danhong injection on ET-1, sP-sel, and hs-CRP in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention.
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2011;31(1):11-14
OBJECTIVETo observe the effect and explore the action mechanism of Danhong Injection (DHI) on serum levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1), soluble P-selectin (sP-sel) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
METHODSSeventy ACS patients scheduled to receive PCI were assigned to two groups. Around PCI, the 34 patients in the control group were treated with conventional therapy and the 36 in the DHI group treated with conventional therapy combined with DHI treatment given from the day of PCI to the 14th day after operation at the dose of 40 mL per day by dissolving in 250 mL of 5% glucose for venous dripping. Plasma levels of ET-1, sP-sel and hs-CRP were detected using ELISA at various time points: before PCI (T0), after PCI (T1), 24 h (T2) and 2 weeks (T3) after PCI. The outcomes were compared between the two groups, and compared with those obtained from 20 healthy persons set as the normal control.
RESULTSAll the three indices in the two patients' group at T0, T1 and T2 were higher than those in the normal control respectively (P < 0.01), while at T3, the indices in the DHI group were lower than the normal control (P > 0.05). Comparisons between the two patients' group showed that the indices were not different at TO, T1 and T2, but at T3, all were lower in the DHI group than in the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSCombined conventional therapy with DHI for 2 weeks can significantly reduce the plasma levels of ET-1, sP-sel and hs-CRP in ACS patients after PCI, suggesting that DHI has certain effects in protecting the endothelial function, inhibiting platelet activation and suppressing inflammatory reaction.

The work aims to study the drug metabolizing enzymes involved in the metabolism of butylphthalide and evaluate the induction and inhibition activities of butylphthalide on CYP450 isoenzymes by using in vitro (liver microsome incubation system of rats and human) and in vivo (CYP induced model of rats) method. Butylphthalide was incubated with selective inhibitors of CYP450, and its metabolic rate was determined to identify the metabolizing isoenzymes of NBP in rat (normal and induced rats) and human liver microsomes. The in vitro inhibition effect of butylphthalide on 6 main liver microsomal CYP450 isoenzymes was evaluated by using probe drugs; the induction and inhibition activities in vivo of butylphthalide on CYP450 isoenzymes were evaluated by NBP ig dosing (160 mg x kg(-1)) and iv dosing (20 mg x kg(-1)) in rats. After adding the specific inhibitors of CYP2C11, 2E1 and 3A 1/2 for rat, CYP2C19, 2E1 and 3A4/5 for human, the metabolism of NBP in rat and human liver microsomes were reduced 38.8%, 86.2%, 78.4% and 51.0%, 92.0%, 58.9% of control, respectively. The metabolic rates of NBP in CYP2E1 and 3A 1/2 induced rat liver microsomes were increased 25.5% and 68.9%. High concentration of NBP (≥ 200 μmol x L(-1), in vitro) could inhibit the activities of CYP1A2, 2C6, 2C11 and 2D2 in rats, and high concentration of NBP ( ≥ 15 μmol x L(-1), in vitro) could inhibit the activity of CYP2C19 in human. All the results indicated that NBP should be mainly metabolized by CYP2E1, 2C11 and 3A 1/2 in rats and CYP2E1, 2C19 and 3A4/5 in human. High concentration of NBP could inhibit human CYP2C19 in vitro. No significant induction/inhibition effects of NBP were observed on rat liver CYP450 isoforms after ig 160 mg x kg(-1) NBP or iv 20 mg x kg(-1) NBP.

Objective To explore the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts from 2 sources co-cultured with SD rat Schwann cells(SCs) . Methods Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were obtained by washing the femoral and tibial bone marrow cavities in SD rats. Osteoblast differentiation of the third passage of BMSCs was induced by incubation in osteogenic medium. Primary rat calvarial osteoblasts were obtained by digestion of the calvarial bone in one day old SD rats. The cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum(FBS) . SCs of passage 2 were obtained by digestion of sciatic nerve. The SCs were identified by S-100. The proliferation of 2 kinds of osteoblasts co-cultured with SCs was tested using 96 co-culture plate by methyl thiazdyl tetrazolium(MTF). Real-time PCR was used to test the osteoblast differentiation through co-culturing with SCs in 3 d and 7 d. The osteoblasts were implanted in the subtus chamber. The SCs were implanted in the superior chamber. Results SCs enhanced significantly the proliferation of calvarial osteoblasts at 7 time points. The expression levels of OPN mRNA, OCN mRNA, ALP mRNA, and BMP-2 mRNA of the osteoblasts were significantly lower in the experiment group than in the control group in 3 d and 7 d. SCs also enhanced significantly the proliferation of the induced osteoblasts in 5 d, 7 d and 9 d. The expression levels of OPN mRNA, OCN mRNA, ALP mRNA, and BMP-2 mRNA of the induced osteoblasts were significantly higher in the experiment group than in the control group in 3 d and 7 d, except the level of ALP mRNA in 7 d.Conclusions The BMSCs-induced osteoblasts cocultured with SCs may be used as seed cells to construct neurotized tissue engineered bone.

Objective To observe the effects of iodine deficiency and iodine excess on the lipid metabolism in an experimental hypothyroid model of mice and to explore the roles of iodine independent of its role in thyroid hormones. Methods Female Balb/c mice were randomly divided into 6 groups: control, severe iodine deficiency (SID), mild iodine deficiency(MID), normal iodine (NI), 10-fold high iodine (10HI) and 50-fold high iodine(50HI), 10 in each group. The mice in control group were fed with low iodine forage, other mice were fed with low iodine forage containing 0.2% methylthiouracilum. All mice drank deionic water containing different concentrations of potassium iodide(KI). The iodine content in water was 326.79, 0, 196.08,326.79, 385621, 19 542.50 μg/L, respectively. After three months, thyroid hormones in the serum were determined by radioimmunoassay.Also, the blood samples were analyzed for total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesteiol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and measured enzymatically by automatic analyzer. Results①The levels of Tr4 in SID[(21.27 ± 9.63)μg/L], MID[(23.41 ± 3.93)μg/L], NI[(22.57 ±4.66)μg/L], 10HI [(21.07 ± 5.03) μg/L] and 50HI groups [(21.46 ± 5.90) μg/L] were distinctively decreased compared with control group[(42.15 ± 8.26)μg/L, all P < 0.01]. There were no statistical significant differences of TT3 between different groups (F = 0.99, P > 0.05 ). ②The level of TG in 10HI group [ ( 1.17 ± 0.16)mmol/L ] was obviously decreased compared with control [(1.39 ± 0.22 )mmol/L] and NI groups[(151 ± 0.22)mmol/L, all P< 0.05].Both TG and TC in 50HI group[(1.18 ± 0.22), (1.78 ± 0.15)mmol/L] were significantly decreased compared with control [( 1.39 ± 0.22), (2.14 ± 0.37)mmol/L] and NI groups [(1.51 ± 0.22), (2.00 ± 0.15)mmol/L, all P < 0.05].The difference of serum HDL-C and LDL-C between the groups was not significant(F = 0.55,0.54, all P > 0.05 ).Conclusions Dietary iodine plays a role in the metabolism of serum lipids independent of thyroid hormones.Thus, monitoring the amount of iodine intake during sodium restriction should also be taken extremely important for effectively prevention and cure of cardiovascular disease.
