This article was aimed to study the pharmacokinetics of mussaenoside in rats. Gardenoside was used as the internal standard in the content determination of mussaenoside in rat plasma with HPLC. The chromatographic conditions were Diamonsil C18 (2) column (150 mm í 4.6 mm, 5 μm), mobile phase of methanol:0.5% glacial acetic acid (30:70), flow amount of 1.0 ml/min, detection wavelength at 238 nm, column temperature at 30℃. Compartment model fitting of average plasma concentration in rats - time data had been conducted after mussaenoside was given to mice through single intravenous injection with the help of DAS 2.0 pharmacokinetics intelligence analysis software. The results showed that the plasma concentration using 2-comparment model intravenous injection calculation method, which corresponded well to that of actually measured (weighting of 1), was proved superior to other models. The distribution half-life time (t1/2α) was 9.892 min and the elimination half-life time (t1/2β) was 55.384 min. It was concluded that the established method was convenient, accurate and stable, which can be used for the study on phar-macokinetics of mussaenoside. Mussaenoside was distributed rapidly in the body of rats. The main process of mus-saenoside in the body of rats was elimination. The metabolic rate was at moderate speed.

Objective To investigate the insulin and glucagon levels in the patients with different islet cell antibody (ICA) subtypes and to explore the pathogenesis of latent autoimmune diabetes of adult (LADA). Methods Subjects were classified by immunohistology and 29 ICA-peripheral-positive DM patients, 28 ICA-diffused-positive DM patients and 17 controls (ICA-negative) were included. Serum glucose, insulin and plasma glucagon were measured at 0, 30, 60, 120 min after standard meal. Results (1) As compared with controls, glucagon in ICA positive groups were higher (both P

Objective To investigate the association between the inflammatory factors and carotid atherosclerosis in patients with cerebral infarction. Methods The carotid intima-media thickness(IMT), plaque and inflammatory indexes were correlative analysed in 244 patients with acute cerebral infarction. Results Inflammatory factors ( monocyte proportion, levels of fibrinogen and CRP,erythrosedimentation) were associated with carotid atherosclerosis. Monocyte proportion (ORIMT =1.231,P

Objective:To measure the expression of signal-induced proliferation-associated gene 1 (Sipa1) in gastric cancer and to determine its association with the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with gastric carcinoma. Methods:The Sipa1 mRNA and Sipa1 protein expression levels in 43 fresh gastric carcinoma tissues and adjacent normal tissues were measured by real-time PCR and Western blot analysis. The Sipa1 protein expression levels in 122 paraffin blocks of gastric cancer and 64 normal gastric tissues were determined by substance P immunohistochemical technique. Results:The Sipa1 mRNA and Sipa1 protein levels in fresh gastric carcinoma tissues were significantly lower than those in adjacent normal tissues. Sipa1 protein was positive in 36.1%of the paraffin blocks of gastric cancer and in 73.4%of normal gastric tissues. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Sipa1 protein expression was significantly correlated with tumor differentiation, lymphatic metastasis, invasive depth, and clinical stage (P<0.05) but not with age, gender, tumor size, and tumor areas (P>0.05). The five-year survival rates of Sipa1-negative patients were significantly lower than those of Si pa1-positive patients (P<0.01). Conclusion:Sipa1 expression is highly correlated with the biological behavior of gastric carcinoma and thus facilitates the evaluation of gastric carcinoma prognosis.

Objective To establish the islet ? cell rat model by the ? cell-deleting technology.Methods Tweenty-four normal male SD rats and 12 weeks old were randomly divided into 3 groups,i.e,a normal diet group(NC,n=8),the model group 1(M1,n=8),and the model group 2(M2,n=8).The rats in M1 and M2 group were injected with 100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg of streptozocin respectively.Five days later,the rats were sacrificed.The level of insulin(Ins)and Glucagon(Glc)in the pancreatic homogenate was measured.The tail of pancreas were obtained and fixed by Bolins liquid.Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the expression of Ins and Glc in islet cells.Quantitative analysis was executed by image analyzer.Results Compared with the NC group,the total pancreas island areas of beta-cell deleting rats,M1 group and M2 group,are approximately 1/7 of normal control rats.Moreover,the percentages of beta-cell areas from total pancreas island areas decreased from 74.3% down to 5.4% and 5.2%,respectively.The Ins content in pancreas tissue homogenate of beta-cell deleting rats does not reach 3% of normal ones,While the Glc content unexpectedly increases.Less alpha cells distinguished by Glc positive dying through Immunohistochemistry are observed at periphery of pancreas islands of NC group.With beta cellsdeletion,the aggregation of alpha cells from periphery to centre of pancreas islands is found in M1 and M2 groups.Furthermore,the percentages of alpha cells area from total pancreas island areas are promoted from 16.4% to 76.5%、74.4%,respectively.Conclusion The islet ? cell rat model was established by injecting large dose STZ(100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg).

Deflazacort (DFZ, a prodrug) is well absorbed and rapidly metabolized into the active metabolite 21-hydroxydeflazacort (21-OH DFZ) after oral administration. The aim of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic properties of 21-OH DFZ in healthy Chinese volunteers after a single and multiple oral administration of DFZ tablets under fed condition. Twelve volunteers (six males and six females) were administered a single dose of 6 mg or 12 mg or 24 mg of DFZ in three different periods separately, according to the 3 x 3 Latin square design. Between each administration period there was a washout period of one week. The multiple-dose study of 12 mg dose DFZ per day for 7 consecutive days was started after a 1 w washout period when the single-dose study completed. The pharmacokinetic parameters of 21-OH DFZ after the single oral administration of 6 mg, 12 mg and 24 mg DFZ tablets were as follows: (37.7 +/- 11.6), (61.5 +/- 17.7) and (123 +/- 23) ng x mL(-1) for C(max); (1.90 +/- 0.32), (1.96 +/- 0.27) and (2.13 +/- 0.34) h for t1/2; (96.6 +/- 25.9), (190 +/- 44) and (422 +/- 107) ng x h x mL(-1) for AUC(0-14 h), respectively. After the multiple dose administration, the mean plasma concentration at steady-state C(av) was (7.00 +/- 1.66) ng x mL(-1) and the degree of plasma concentration fluctuation DF was 7.7 +/- 1.2. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic characteristics of 21-OH DFZ in healthy Chinese volunteers were linear over the dose range of 6 to 24 mg. No significant gender differences were found in the pharmacokinetics of 21-OH DFZ in healthy Chinese volunteers. After the multiple dose administration of 12 mg DFZ for 7 d, no accumulation of 21-OH DFZ in healthy Chinese volunteers was observed.

Objective To evaluate effectiveness of ex vivo adenoviral gene transfer creating human bone morphogenetic protein 7-producing mesenchymal stem cells (Ad-hBMP-7 cells) compounded with nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen(NHAC) composite to induce spinal fusion in a rat posterolateral spine fusion model. Methods Mesenchymal stem cells were cultured and transduced by Ad-hBMP-7. Then Ad-hBMP-7 cells were cocultured with NHAC. Totally 56 Wistar rats were divided into four groups. Intertransverse spinal arthrodesis was attempted in four groups of Wistar rats with autogenous bone (group A); NHAC(group B); NHAC and BMSCs (group C); Ad-hBMP-7 cells and NHAC (group D). Each specimen underwent plain radiography, manual palpation and histological analysis. Results All spines in group D had fusion. In contrast, none of the spines in group A and group B had fusion. Three of ten rats in group C achieved fusion at the 12th week post-operatively.Conclusion BMP-7-producing mesenchymal stem cells compounded with NHAC composite may induce intertransverse fusion in the rat spine model.
