This study was designed to validate the correlation between integrated pharmacokinetic and therapeutic effects of alkaloids using bile processed Rhizoma Coptidis (BRC). Rats were divided into three groups: normal, disease model, model+BRC. Rats were induced to have an excessive heat syndrome. Rectal temperatures were collected at 0, 3, 6 and 9 h after single oral administration of the drugs. The plasma concentrations of three alkaloids were quantified at different times by UPLC-MS/MS after the administration of BRC. An approach of self-defined weighting coefficiency was created to the holistic pharmacokinetic profiles of alkaloids in BRC. The classified and integrated synthetic concentrations were obtained, and then the pharmacokinetic parameters of alkaloids were calculated from non-compartmental model analysis. The potential relationship between the integrated mean concentration of alkaloids and the antifebrile efficacy was investigated. The holistic t(max) of alkaloids was 1.11 h, the antifebrile effect of BRC at 3 h was improved over the model group. Double peaking appeared in the integrated blood concentration-time curve, the second t(max) of alkaloids was 4.82 h. The antifebrile effects of BRC at 3-6 h were significant, and the antifebrile effects at 6-9 h was decreased significantly. Dynamic variation of alkaloids of BRC in the body exhibited the similarity to the pattern of its antifebrile effect.

Objective To establish QAMS method to determine the contents of three alkaloids in bile processed Coptidis Rhizoma; To compare the results of QAMS with those from external standard method; To prove the feasibility of QAMS.Methods An HPLC method was developed. Berberine hydrochloride was selected as the internal reference substance. 2 relative correction factors (RCF) of berberine hydrochloride to palmatine hydrochloride and to jatrorrhizine hydrochloride were established. Obtained RCFs were used to conduct content calculation (calculated value) to complete QAMS method. At the same time, the contents (measured value) of the three components were also determined by external standard method. Calculated value and measured value were compared.Results The analysis results showed that there was no significant difference between the calculated values and the measured values of the three alkaloids in 10 batches of bile processed Coptidis Rhizoma.Conclusion The QAMS method can be applied in the determination of alkaloids in bile processed Coptidis Rhizoma.

Objective To establish a method to quantify the residual cross-linker vinyl sulfone and its hydration product 1 ,4-Thioxane-1 ,1-Dioxide.Methods The polysaccharide was precipitated by ethanol,however vinyl sulfone and its hydration product were soluble,and can be analyzed by direct injection.The analysis was carried on Agilent DB-wax capillary column (30m ×0.53 mm,1.0 μm).The flame ionization detector (FID)and flame photometric detector (FPD)were used to detect samples and the efficiency were compared. Results The linear range of vinyl sulfone and its hydration product were separately 0.5 ~20μg/mL and 2~100μg/mL detected by FID.The Limit of Quantity (LOQ)were 0.8μg/mL and 2.3μg/mL, respctively.The Limit of Detection (LOD)were 2.6μg/mLand 7.6μg/mL,respectively,and the average recoveries (n=9)of them were 104.3%and 92.4%,respectively.Conclusion FID could meet the needs of the test,and this method is simple and accurate with high sensitivity and good repeatability,which can be used for quality control of trace vinyl sulfone and its hydration products 1 ,4-Thioxane-1 ,1-Dioxide in cross-linked sodium hyaluronate injection.

Objective To study the effect of indole- 2,3-dione on the content and release of monoamine neurotransmitters in rat brain.Methods The Wistar rats were given indole-2,3-dione (50,200mg?kg~(-1),ip), and the content of acetylcholine(Ach) and dopamine(DA) in corpus striatum were detected two hours later;the releases of DA,5-hydroxy-tryptamine(5-HT) and norepinephrine(NE) in cortex and corpus striatum slices were examined before and after perfusion with the artificial cerebrospinal fluid(ACSF)that contained indole-2,3-dione. Results The rats given indole-2,3-dione were observed higher concentration of Ach and DA in their corpus striatum compared with that in cortex. Moreover the results also showed indole- 2,3-dione promoted the release of DA in cortex and corpus striatum slices. Conclusion Indole-2,3-dione can regulate the balance between Ach and DA release in rat brain.

ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of violence behavior of the psychotics in communities. Methods37 psychotics who used to have violence behavior were investigated with Questionnaire of Characteristics and Associated Factor for Violence Behavior of Psychotics in Communities created ourselves. ResultsThe psychotics suffered violence behavior appeared some peculiarities for the time, place, and dealing with tools, etc. Their mental state, course of disease and treatment were associated with their violence behavior. ConclusionThere is some characteristics in most of the violence behavior of the psychotics, which may be helpful for preventing.

Background The safety,effectiveness and predictability of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct hyperopia are of a widely clinical concern,but the efficacy of LASIK for hyperopic correction is not satisfied in comparison to that of myopia.Objective The aim of this work was to evaluate the safety,effectiveness and predictability of autologous corneal len inlays to correct hyperopia.Methods Autologous corneal len inlays was performed on the left eye of female patient with the diopter of +3.25 DS.This patient was followed-up for 1 month.Cornea compensatory intraocular pressure (IOPcc) and imitation Goldmann IOP (IOPg) were measured,and the corneal thickness and corneal flap were observed using optical coherence topography (OCT).Corneal topography was examined to check the change of corneal curvature.Ocular response analyzer was used to evaluate the shifts of corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF).Uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity and refraction were compared between before and after operation.Written informed consent was obtained from the patient prior to the operation.Results No intraoperative and postoperative complications were found.Uncorrected distance visual acuity improved one line 1 day and 1 month after surgery,and near visual acuity progressed to J2 and the spherical equivalent (SE) was-0.125 D 1 month after surgery.OCT exhibited that the cornea was clear and transparent,and the graft was centered in the corneal stroma capsular bag without rejection 1 month after surgery.The IOPcc was 12.4 mmHg before operation and 11.9 mmHg 1 month after operation,and IOPg was 11.9 mmHg before operation and 10.7 mmHg 1 month after operation in the operated eye.The CH was 9.7 mmHg before operation and 8.9 mmHg 1 month after operation,and CRF was 10.9 mmHg before operation and 10.3 mmHg 1 month after operation,without remarkble change in the indexes mentioned above.Conclusions Autologous corneal implantation can be used to correct hyperopic eye with good safety,effectiveness and predictability.

Objective:To observe the anticaries effects of the vaccine gene pcDNA3- PAc against dental caries in BALB/c mice by different routes. Methods: BALB/c mice were immunized with the recombinant plasmid pcDNA3- PAc by the submandibular gland- target injection,the quadriceps femoris injection and the intranasal irrigation respectively. All the mice were immunized two times. The immune interval was two weeks. Saliva and serum samples were collected respectively at 0, 1, 2, 4 weeks after immunization. The specific antibodies were detected by ELISA. Results:The specific antibodies were up at one week after immunization in different routes. The peak time of the antibodies level appeared at 4 weeks.The level of salivary specific anti- PAc IgA induced by submandibular gland- target injection and that of serum IgG induced by thigh bone muscle injection was the highest, respectively. The differences of antibodies level between in experiment groups and negative control group or vacant comparison group were significant(P<0.01). Conclusion: The vaccine gene pcDNA3- PAc effectively induce local mucosal immune response and systemic immune response.
