Objective Development in vitro test methods for drug release and particle release from drug coated baloon to address the disadvantages and inadequacy of existing assessment methods. Methods In vitro drug transfer test were carried out using the isolated porcine vessel as target site in the self-designed iliofemoral artery model, drug loss experiment during dilatation and retraction were added in drug release test, the particle test channel was subdivided and the size and number of the large particles were measured by microscopy combined with Image-Pro Plus software.Results The result shows that the method is feasible and the discrimination is good. The material balance can be achieved. More detailed data can be obtained.Conclusion The developed in vitro evaluation method provides a reference for formulation screening, in vitro bench testing and in vivo pre-clinical animal testing.

Objective To investigate the role of leucine aminopeptidase in biliary obstructive dis-ease, and to evaluate the value of leucine aminopeptidase and its combination with alkaline phosphatase (AKP), glutamine transferase and 5′-nucleotidase (5′-NT) in diagnosis and treatment of bile duct obstruc-tion. Methods A total of 181 cases were collected, who were diagnosed as healthy, asymptomatic HBV carriers and patients with hepatitis, biliary obstruction, liver cirrhosis and primary liver cancer samples at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from October 2016 to March 2017. The leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), AKP, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and 5′-NT were detected with the corresponding kits, and analyzed with different statistical methods. Results The highest level of LAP was in patients with biliary obstruction, compared to other groups, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). In biliary obstruction group, LAP and AKP, GGT and 5′-NT were correlated ( r=0. 690, P<0. 01; r=0. 864, P<0. 01;r=0. 735, P<0. 01). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC), curve area (AUC) of LAP, 5′-NT, GGT and AKP in the diagnosis of biliary obstruction were 0. 945 and 0. 898, 0. 942 and 0. 916;the AUC of LAP combined with 5′-NT, GGT and AKP was 0. 966;and the AUC of LAP combined with 5′-NT was 0. 968. Conclusions LAP can be used as a preliminary index of differential diagnosis of biliary obstructive disease, and its diagnostic value could be improved when combined with 5-NT.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the 2-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) map in colonic mucosa in sub-healthy people with shapeless stool and healthy people, to identify the differential proteins by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), and to provide theoretical basis for the pathogenesis of intestinal mucosa in sub-healthy people with shapeless stool. METHODS: Two-DE was used to separate the total proteins from the intestinal mucosa in sub-healthy people (the sub-health group) with the shapeless stool and healthy volunteers (the control group). ImageMaster 2D Elite soft was applied to analyze the 2-DE images, and the differentially expressed protein spots between the 2 groups were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS, protein bank and information technique. RESULTS: We analyzed the average maps and obtained 517 protein spots in the sub-healthy group and 535 protein spots in the control group. Between the sub-healthy group and the control group, the mean of 366 protein spots was matched, and the matching rate was 70.79%. Ten differential protein spots were screened by MALDI-TOF-MS, and 8 were identified. Five out of the 8 spots were significantly decreased, while 3 out of the 8 were significantly increased. CONCLUSION The proteomic expression in colonic mucosa of people with shapeless stool is significantly different from that of healthy people. Eight differential proteins such as aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 isoform 1, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A synthase 2 (mitochondrial), γ-actin, annexin A5 possibly involve in the pathogenesis of sub-healthy people with shapeless stool.
