AIM: To establish a method to determine the concentration of indinavir in human plasma and study indinavir bioavailability in Chinese healthy people. METHODS: In a random two-period crossover study, 18 healthy male volunteers received a single dose of indinavir capsules 800 mg of two formulations respectively.A sensitive and specific reversed phase HPLC method was developed to quantitate plasma levels of indinavir. The drug was extracted from plasma with acetonitrile. Analysis was performed on a Hy persil C18 column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile:0.01 mol · L -1 phosphate buffer(pH 5.5 ) (43: 57).The UV detector was set at 210 nm. The standard curve covered the concentration ranged from 0. 03 to 16.38 mg · L-1. RESULTS: The concentration-time curves of reference and tested formulations both fitted to a one-compartment open model. The main pharmacokinetic rameters of tested and reference formulations were (10.6 ±s 2.4) mg· L-1 and (9.8 ±2.2)mg· L-1 for cmax, (0. 71 ± 0. 19) h and (0. 8 ±0.3) h for tmax, (1.30±0.24) h and (1.31 ±0.23) h for t1/2ke, (23±6) mg·h· L-1 and (22±5) mg·h · L-1 forAUC0-10, (24±6) mg · h · L-1 and (22±5) mg · h · L-1 for AUC0-∞, respectively. Two one-sidet test and variance analysis were performed in bioequivalent assessment. No statistically significant difference was found in AUC0-10, AUC0-∞ and cmax values between the tested and reference formulations. CONCLUSION:The reversed phase HPLC is a reliable method to determine the concentration of indinavir in human plasma and the two formulations of indinavir are bioequivalent.

AIM: To develop a simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the quantification of zidovudine and to study the pharmacokinetics of two kinds of zidovudine capsules in Chinese healthy volunteers. METHODS :The concentrations of zidovudine in plasma were determined by a validated HPLC method with UV detection. A randomized two-way crossover study was conducted in 18 fasting volunteers to compare plasma pharmacokinetic profile and single-dose tolerability of a new zidovudine capsules. RESULTS: The main pharmacokinetic parameters of two formulations, reference and test capsules, were as follows: cmax were (2 252±s 837) μg·L-1 and (2 300±1 099) μg·L-1; tmax were (0.49±0.19) h and (0.5±0.3) h;t1/2 ke were (0.93±0.19) h and (0.99±0.24) h; AUC0-t were (2 530±452) μg·h·L-1 and (2 467±605) μg·h·L-1;AUC0-∞ were(2 689 ± 414) μg·h·L-1 and (2 583±575) μg·h·L-1. The results of ANOVA and two one-side t test statistical analysis for lg AUC0-t, lg AUC0-∞ and lg cmax showed that two formulations were bioequivalent. CONCLUSION:The method is convenient, sensitive, accurate and reproducible, and could be applied to determining the plasma zidovudine concentration and studying on pharmacokinetics. Two zidovudine capsules are bioequivalent in Chinese healthy volunteers.

Objective:To explore the related risk factors of secondary thoracotomy to stop bleeding after rheumatic heart disease valve replacement.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 373 patients in the Department of Cardiac Surgery of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University who underwent rheumatic heart disease valve replacement surgery from December 2013 to October 2020. According to whether or not to perform secondary thoracotomy to stop bleeding after operation, they were divided into two thoracotomy case group and control group. Collect the relevant clinical data of the patients, and analyze the risk factors that affect the second postoperative thoracotomy to stop bleeding through univariate and multivariate Logistic regression.Results:Among the 373 patients, 62 cases (16.62%) were in the secondary thoracotomy group and 311 cases (83.38%) were in the control group. Univariate analysis showed that the patient' s age, gender, prehospital cardiac function classification, pulmonary artery pressure, hemoglobin value (Hb), prothrombin time (PT), operation time, combined hypertension, intraoperative blood transfusion and postoperative two The occurrence of secondary thoracotomy to stop bleeding was related, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The results of unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that prehospital cardiac function classification, Hb, PT, and hypertension are the risk factors leading to secondary thoracotomy to stop bleeding after rheumatic heart disease valve replacement. Conclusion:Effective control of risk factors can reduce the incidence of secondary thoracotomy after rheumatic heart disease valve replacement, and reduce the risk caused by secondary operations.
