2. Simultaneous evaluation of the effect of capsaicin on the activities of CYP1A2, 2C11 and 3 A by cocktail probe drug method
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2013;48(7):553-558
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of capsaicin on the activities of CYP1A2, 2C11 and 3A in rats by cocktail probe drug method. METHODS: Male rats were randomly divided into six groups. Three groups of rats (group A, B and C) were orally given capsaicin 25 mg · kg-1 once daily for 1, 3, 7 d, respectively. The other three groups (group a, b and c) received orally 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium (CMC-Na) once daily for 1, 3, 7 d, respectively, as the blank control groups. Plasma was collected at different time after drug administration. The concentrations of caffeine, tolbutamide and dapsone in plasma were determined by HPLC method. The plasma concentration-time data was analyzed with DAS2.1.1 software to obtain the pharmacokinetic parameters of the cocktail probe drugs. RESULTS: Compared with the blank control group, the AUC0-t AUC0-t and pmax of caffeine in group C significantly decreased, along with significant increase of CL/F. The AUC0-t and pmax of tolbutamide in group C both significantly decreased compared with the blank control group. Meanwhile, the AUC0-t and AUC0-t of dapsone in group C significantly decreased, along with significant increase of CL/F and V/F. CONCLUSION: Capsaicin may significantly induce the activities of CYP1A2, CYP2C11 and CYP3A in rats after consecutive administration for 7 d. Reduced therapeutic efficacy of the drugs metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP2C11 and CYP3A should be anticipated during long-term administration of capsaicin.

This therapy, with a total effective rate of 90%, was satisfactory for all syndromes and various kinds of UA. Those cases with plasmal NO and t -PA lower than normal recovered to certain extent after the treatment. But there was no effect on plasmal ET after treatment, indicating that the mechanism of Shen - yuan - dan may be partially due to the repair of vessel endothelium, lowering of vessel tension, decrease of unstable thrombus through the regulation of plasma NO, t -PA level, hence, the improvement of coronary blood supply.

Objective To investigate the relationship between TNF-α, IFN-γand intestinal muco-sal permeability in a mouse colitis model and its inhibiting effect by balsalazide. Methods Forty-five C57BL/6J mice were divided randomly into five groups. Normal group was only fed with distilled water, DSS group and balsalazide groups at doses of 42, 141,423 mg/kg were both fed with 5% DSS. Balsalazide was given by intragastric administration. At the end of the experiment, colon tissue was collected for assessment of histological index(HI) and the MPO activity. Small intestinal mucosa was collected for assessment of the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ,transmission electron microscope(TEM), and detection of permeability by Ev-arts blue method. Results Compared with normal group, DSS group mice all manifested severe weight loss associated with hematocbezia and diarrhea, HI score, and the colon MPO activity and the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ were increased significantly. Intestinal mucosa showed a thinning of microvillous carpet, with de-curtated and broaden junctional complex and enlarged intercollutar space under TEM observations. The amount of Evans blue permeated into intestinal wall was obvious. Compared with DSS group, the HI score, the MPO activity and the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ were decreased by balsalazide. The amount of Evans blue permeated into intestinal wall was less. Ileal microvillous carpet was ameliorated dose dependently by balsalazide. Conclusion In DSS-induced colitis model, the change of the content of the TNF-α and IFN-γ, was accordance with the increase of intestinal mucosal permeability while balsalazide can significantly amelio-rate intestinal mucosal permeability by its anti-colitis effect.

Objective:To investigate the neuropsychological characteristics of Chinese agraphia caused by basal ganglia(BG)infarction.Methods:The writing abilities of 40 patients with BG infarction were detected by Chinese agraphia battery(CAB),and all the writing scores and agraphia quotient were calculated.The head CT/MRI images in agraphia and non-agraphia groups were standardized,the infarction were revealed and the superposition of two-dimensional arrays were performed,so that the central tendency of infarction was visually displayed.Results: Among the 40 patients,21 had left BG infraction,and 17 had agraphia;19 had right BG infraction,and 4 had agraphia.The two-dimensional superimposing neuroimages showed that BG infarctions caused agraphia was mostly in the left BG,including the left putamen,the head and body of the caudate nucleus,but there were fewer infarctions in the right putamen and the body of the candate nucleus.BG infarction caused agraphia was mostly aphasic agraphia,which was characterized by the orthographic disorders,paragraphia,and grammar mistakes.Conclusions: BG infarction may result in aphasic agraphia,which suggested that BG is involed in writing and processing,and it is the subcortical center of this advanced neurofunction in writing.

Objective CXCR4-overexpressing bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CXCR4-BMSC) were constructed and co-cultured with hypoxia/re-oxygenation pretreated renal tubular epithelial cells (HR-RTEC).Repair of HR-RTEC was detected and the possible mechanism was also discussed.Methods CXCR4-BMSC (CXCR4-BMSC/eGFP,eGFP as the tracer gene) and null-BMSC (BMSC/eGFP) were obtained by gene transfection technique,and the level of CXCR4 in the transfected cells was detected.RTEC was cultured under hypoxia/re-oxygenation condition for 12 h,respectively,to obtain HR-RTEC,which was used to simulate AKI in vitro.BMSC and HR-RTEC were co-cultured for 12 h,and the proportion of apoptotic cells among the HR-RTEC was assayed by immunofluorescence technique.Western blot was used to test the protein levels of cleaved Caspase-3 and Bcl-2.The number of migrating BMSC was also assayed.After culturing with the HR-RTEC culture supernatant,the expression of cytokeratin 18 (CK18) in BMSC was tested by immunofluorescence staining.Cytokines including bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7),hepatic growth factor (HGF) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the BMSC culture supernatant were detected by ELISA method.Results Expression of CXCR4 was enhanced in CXCR4-BMSC.Proportions of the apoptotic cells among HR-RTEC after being co-cultured with BMSC,CXCR4-BMSC and null-BMSC were all decreased,especially in the C/H group.The decreased cleaved Caspase-3 and enhanced Bcl-2 were also observed in HR-RTEC.The number of migrating CXCR4-BMSC was the highest.Proportions of CK18+ cells in BMSC,CXCR4-BMSC and null-BMSC were all low and showed no difference.However,CXCR4 overexpression in BMSC stimulated secretions of BMP-7,HGF and IL-10.Conclusions CXCR4-overexpressing BMSC has more repair effect on the co-cultured HR-RTEC,the enhanced migration ability and secretion ability of CXCR4-BMSC are the possible mechanisms.
