Fraction absorbed (Fa) is an important parameter to describe the absorption level of oral drugs, and an important basis for the development and optimization of the formulation process. Because it is easily confused with the concept of absolute bioavailability, it has not received enough attention from the industry. There are many complex factors affecting Fa. There are three time-related factors that directly affect the extent of Fa: the release time, the absorption time, and the residence time. The relationship between these three time-related factors determines the extent of Fa. Generally, we are more concerned about the apparent factors that affect the extent of Fa, including independent variables and covariates; The independent variables include administered dose, route, dosage form, etc. The covariates are divided into internal and external factors, and external factors include food factors, drug interactions, etc. Internal causes include age, sex, disease, etc. This paper analyzes and systematically combs how independent variables and covariates directly or indirectly affect the three time-related factors by affecting the body's physiology and internal environment, thus changing the complex process of Fa. Understanding this theoretical framework can better optimize the independent variables to reduce the impact of covariates on Fa. In addition, this paper also introduces the latest progress of prediction and evaluation of Fa, including the progress of complex dissolution device and the status of software prediction.

AIM:To observe the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF- α) and its receptor I ( P55 ) in different pterygium and discuss the role of TNF-α and receptor I (P55) in pterygium.
METHODS: Immunohistochemistical staining method ( PV) was adopted to detect the expression of TNF-α and receptor I in pterygium ( 72 eyes ) and para-pterygium conjunctival tissue ( 30 eyes ) . The relationship between the expression and clinical-pathological parameters was also analyzed.
RESULTS:The positive rates of TNF-αwere 65. 3% (47/72), 26. 7% (8/30) in pterygium and para-pterygium conjunctival tissue. The positive expression of TNF-α had statistic difference between the two groups (χ2=12. 706, P<0. 01). The positive rates of TNF-α receptor I were 56. 9% (41/72), 16. 7% (5/30) in pterygium and para-pterygium conjunctival tissue. The positive expression of P55 had statistic difference between the two groups (χ2=13. 875, P<0. 01). The positive rate of TNF-αin recurrent pterygium group was higher than primary pterygium group (χ2=6. 547, P=0. 011). There had no statistically significance of the expression intensity between the two groups (F=1. 288, P=0. 393); the positive rate in advanced pterygium group was higher than quiescent pterygium group (χ2=4. 082, P=0. 043). The expression intensity had no statistically significance between the two groups (F=0. 489, P=0. 708). The positive rate of P55 in recurrent pterygium group was higher than primary pterygium group (χ2 =9. 907, P= 0. 002). There had no statistically significance of the two group's expression intensity ( F = 1. 175, P = 0. 424 ); the positive rate in advanced pterygium group was higher than in quiescent pterygium group (χ2=11. 140, P=0. 001). The expression intensity had no statistically significance between the two groups (F=0. 665, P=0. 621).
CONCLUSION:The expression of TNF-α and P55 are changing according to the development of clinical staging and onset. The expression of TNF-α and P55 may be related to clinical classification, staging and patient's working conditions of pterygium. There has no significant difference expression intensity of TNF - α and P55 in clinical staging and onset of pterygium.

Objective To evaluate the role of fibroblast growth faetor-2 (FGF-2) in neuropathic pain (NP) in rats.Methods One hundred male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 7 weeks,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=25 each): sham operation group (group S),group NP,phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group and FGF-2 antibody group (group Ab).FGF-2 antibody 18 μg (40 μl) was injected intrathecally at 1,6,9,13,16 and 20 days after operation in group Ab,while the equal volume of PBS was injected intrathecally in group PBS.Spinal nerve injury was produced by exposing the sciatic nerve and its branches and ligation and transection of tibial nerve and common fibular nerve.Pain behavior was assessed at 1 day before operation and at 1,4,7,14 and 21 days after operation.The paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) was measured.The animals were then sacrificed and the lumbar segment (L4-6) of the spinal cord was obtained for determination of the contents of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the spinal cord.Results Compared with group S,the PWMT was significantly decreased and the contents of TNF-α and IL-6 in the spinal cord was significantly increased in groups NP,PBS and Ab (P ＜ 0.05).The PWMT was significantly higher and the contents of TNF-α and IL-6 in the spinal cord were significantly lower in group Ab than in groups NP and PBS (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion FGF-2 is involved in the occurrence and development of NP and induction of the inflammatory response in the rat spinal cord in involved in the mechanism.

Objective To investigate the genetic diversity of five populations of cultivated Morinda officinalis in Guangdong Province using random amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD).Methods Sixty-four individuals in five populations of cultivated M.officinalis were analyzed by RAPD markers to determine the genetic variations among the populations.The data of genetic diversity were analyzed with Popgen32 software.Results The levels of genetic variation and patterns of population structure in M.officinalis were investigated using RAPD markers.Of the 100 primers screened,15 primers produced highly reproducible RAPD bands,using these primers,224 discernible DNA fragments were generated with 112(50.00%) polymorphic fragments,indicating considerable genetic variation at the species level.In contrast,there were relatively high levels of polymorphism at the population level with the percentage of polymorphic bands ranging from 37.05% to 53.13%,and the mean percentage of polymorphic loic(P=45.86%).Genetic variation among populations was detected based on Nei's genetic diversity analysis(0.175 6),Shannon's diversity index(0.287 6) for every population with Shannon's index 0.103 3—0.236 2 and Nei's indexes 0.074 5—0.154 0.Conclusion There is a little genetic differentiation among populations of cultivated M.officinalis and result in different cultivated types,the genetic diversity with M.officinalis(POP2) is higher than that of other populations.It may be the main reason of the difference of cultivated M.officinalis quality.
