AIM:To study the effect of levofloxacin(LVFX)on serum concentrations and pharmacokinetics of phenytoin sodium(PHT)in rabbits.METHODS:Using UV-spectrophotometry,the serum concentrations of PHT were determined in nine rabbits before oral feeding LVFS and after a single dose of PHT given iv 10 days later.The pharmacokinetic parameters were worked out with 3p87 program.RESULTS:The concentration-time curve of PHT was fit to open two-compartment model.After co-administration of LVFX,the serum concentrations of PHT were decreased to some extent and part of pharmacokinetic parameters obviously changed as well.CONCLUSION:Co-administration of PHT and LVFX will accelerate the metabolic process of PHT.

0 05);②Coixan(100 mg?kg -1 ) could prevent rats from diabetes induced by alloxan. the blood glucose and the area of curve in the preventive group was lower than in the alloxan group. The activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in the preven tive group was higher than in the alloxan group. The morphological observation of ? cells confirmed that coixan could markedly prevent ? cells from injury induced by alloxan and there was no obvious change in the appearance of islet ? cells in the preventive group. CONCLUSION Coixan markedly prevents ? cells from injury induced by alloxan.

OBJECTIVE:To ensure patients'rights of knowing the fact of medication.METHODS:The characteristics of medical care and the chief problems existed at present were analyzed.The significance and the necessity of ensuring patients'rights of knowing the fact in medication in hospital were discussed and some specific measures were proposed.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:Ensuring patients'rights of knowing the fact in medication embodies hospital's demand for"taking people as top priority",building a harmonious society,upgrading hospital's image and promoting rational drug use,which deserves great attention from the relevant hygiene authorities and hospital leaders.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the relationship between drug price policy and the medical market order in China. METHODS: Considering Chinese medical market order, problems in drug price policy of our country were analyzed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Drug price policy of China is the one of key factor for the current medical market disorder, the formulation of which should be based on national condition and under governmental control.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the thoughts over the event of“armillarisin A”produced by Qiqihar No.2Pharmaceut ical Co.Ltd.METHODS:Citing the event of“armillarisin A”produced by Qiqihar No.2Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd.as example,we analyzed problems occurred in the process of production and management of pharmaceuticals and traced the root causes.RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS:Pharmaceutical enterprises should bear in mind their social responsibility and leave no loophole in the control and supervision of drugs,they should draw lessons from this event and prevent the similar event from happening again by working out effective measures to tighten controls on the quality of drug production,registering and approval,circulation,ADR reporting,etc.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible role of Caspase 3 and Bcl - 2 in arsenic trioxide(As2 O3) - induced apoptosis of Namalwa cell line .METHODS: Cell apoptosis was assessed through agarose gel elecrophroresis and the double staining of Annexin V and propidium iodide(PI), of which fluorescent intensities were measured on flow cytometer.Namalwa cells were treated with As2 O3 and DEVD - CHO, a selective inhibitor of Caspase 3,and the changes of expression of Caspase 3 and Bcl - 2 were observed .RESULTS: As2 O3 up - regulated Caspase 3 protein and down - regulated Bcl - 2 protein. DEVD-CHO inhibited the apoptosis induced by As2O3. but it had no effect on down - regulation of Bcl - 2 protein induced by As2O3.CONCLUSION:The activation of Caspase 3 may play a role in mediating apoptosis induced by As2O3 in Namalwa cells.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the utilization of drugs in children with ventricular septal defect(VSD) undergoing operation.METHODS:The medical orders of 120 VSD children patients in our hospital in 2005 were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS:The per capita drug cost was(3 067.20? 325.04) yuan,accounting for 9.52% of the total medical cost.Circulatory system drugs and antibiotics were the chief categories.Leading the first 3 places in terms of DDDs were cefuroxime,vecuronium bromide and furosemide,respectively.CONCUSION:The drug cost for VSD children patients was relatively low and reasonable.

OBJECTIVE:To determine vitamin E in muyan capsule.METHODS:The content of vitamin E in muyan capsule was determined by first-derivative spectrophotometry with detection wavelength at 230nm.RESULTS:The linear range of vitamin E was 14.98 ～ 24.96? g? mL-1(r=0.999 8).The average recovery of vitamin E was 100.1%(RSD=0.26%).CONCLUSION:The method is simple,rapid and accurate,and applicable for the determination of vitamin in muyan capsule.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of ethanol on the pharmacokinetics of phenytoin sodium in rabbits METHODS:The serum concentrations of phenytoin sodium at different points of time were determined by UV-spectrophotometry in eight rabbits after administration of phenytoin sodium(10mg/kg)alone and in combination with ethanol RESULTS:After administration in combination with ethanol,the AUC of phenytoin sodium was significantly decreased from(4 108 64?1 039 98)mg/(min L) to (1 903 65?1 003 40)mg/(min L),Cmax from(29 0?2 94)mg/L to(16 0?5 9)mg/L,T1/2(ke) from(98 45?26 4)min to(82 84?25 5)min;but the apparent distribution volume(Vd)was obviously increased from(0 3 475?0 0 360)L/kg to(0 6 819?0 1 901)L/kg and the clearance rate(CL) from(0 0 026?0 0 008)ml/(kg?min)to(0 0 062?0 0 022)ml/(kg?min) CONCLUSION:The elimination of phenytoin sodium was significantly accelerated after simultaneous administration of ethanol in rabbits
