Objective: To explore the intestinal absorption characteristics of tanshinone components self emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS). Methods: In situ single-pass perfusion method was used to investigate the absorption characteristics of cryptonshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA in rats. The absorption parameters (Ka, Papp) of cryptotanshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA were used as indicators to study their optimum absorption site among duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon. The effects of verapamil hydrochloride (P-glycoprotein inhibitor, P-gp inhibitor), probenecid (multi-drug resistant protein MRP2), and 2, 4-dinitrophenol (energy inhibitor) on the absorption of cryptonshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA were also studied, as well as the effects of their different concentration. Results: Cryptonshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA could be absorbed at all four intestinal segments, and the optimum absorption site was the upper segment of small intestine. The absorption of cryptotanshinone and tanshinone I were concentration-dependent at experimental concentration levels (1.05-4.19 mg/L and 1.22-5.56 mg/L), while tanshinone IIA was not affected obviously by its concentrations (2.43-11.12 mg/L). Verapamil hydrochloride had no significant influence on the absorption of cryptotanshinone or tanshinone I, while the absorption of tanshinone IIA was improved remarkably. Probenecid increased the absorption of cryptonshinone and tanshinone I apparently, while had no obvious effect on that of tanshinone IIA. 2,4-Dinitrophenol could decrease the absorption of cryptonshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA apparently. Conclusion: Cryptonshinone and tanshinone I are supposed to be the substrate of MRP2 instead of P-gp. Tanshinone IIA is supposed to be the substrate of P-gp, instead of MRP2. The energy participated in the absorption of cryptonshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA. Active absorption maybe also involved in the absorption of cryptonshinone, tanshinone I, and tanshinone IIA.

Objective To establish a measurement method for the content of five compounds (acteoside, harpagide, harpagoside, angoroside-C, and cinnamic acid) in Scrophularia Radix quantitative analysis multi-components by single-marker (QAMS), and verify the accuracy and feasibility of QAMS in the quality control. Methods Taking harpagide as internal standard substance, the relative correlation factor (RCF) of acteoside, cinnamic acid, harpagoside, and angoroside C was established. And the content of each component in Scrophularia Radix was determined by the above-mentioned RCF. In order to prove the scientificity and feasibility of this method, the results were compared with the external standard method. Results The relative correction factors of acteoside, cinnamic acid, harpagoside, and angoroside-C were 0.068 (RSD = 0.53%), 0.060 (RSD = 0.81%), 0.142 (RSD = 1.17%), 0.197 (RSD = 1.82%). No significant differences were found among the quantitative results of four components in 25 batches of Scrophularia Radix determined by the two methods. Conclusion It is feasible and accurate to evaluate the quality of Scrophularia Radix by QAMS.

Objective To prepare Sanqi Traumatic Ointment (STO) and study its transdermal permeation properties in vitro. Methods In this paper, the appearance description, high-temperature test, low-temperature test and centrifugal test were taken as indexes. Based on the result of a single factor experiment, the formula for the STO was optimized by Box-Behnken test. Franz diffusing cells method was chosen to investigate the tansdermal infiltration capacity of ointment with different mentha camphor penetration enhancers' in vitro, taking dracorhodin, ginsenoside Rg1, asperosaponi VI, and ginsenoside Rb1 as index components. Results The optimal ratio of the prescription was as follows: lauryl sodium sulfate-stearyl alcohol-vaseline (1.61:26.72:27.10). The promoting effect of different concentration of penetration enhancers on dracorhodin, ginsenoside Rg1, ginsenoside VI, and asperosaponin Rb1 penetration were better; The promoting effect of 3% concentration for index component was better, and this preparation had good stability; The transdermal rates of dracorhodin, ginsenoside Rg1, asperosaponi VI, and ginsenoside Rb1 were 3.971, 6.368, 0.415, and 2.780 μg/(cm2∙h).Conclusion STO had a good release and transdermal properties, and transdermal actions were consistent with zero-order kinetics.

Objective To investigate the effect of chemotherapy on ovarian function in young patients with malignant germ cell tumors of the ovary after conservative surgery.Methods 15 patients (11～29 years old) with ovarian malignant germ cell tumors were treated by ovarectomy and the following chemotherapy.Their menstruation and serum follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),estradiol(E2) levels and basal antral follicle(F0) numbers were observed from the duration of chemotherapy to one year after chemotherapy.The serum levels of FSH,LH,E2 and basal antral follicle numbers between the chemotherapy-related amenorrhea(CRA) patients and the patients with benign tumors of ovary who underwent unilateral adnexa removed at the same period(control group,n=10) were compared.Results Oligomenstruation occurred in 13 of 15 cases undergoing chemotherapy after conservative surgery(86.7%),in whom CRA occurred in 10 cases(66.7%) at the duration of 4-6 cycle chemotherapy appearing significantly rising serum level of FSH,LH and declining serum E2 level and F0 numbers.There was a significantly positive correlation between the frequency of amenorrhea and the duration of chemotherapy(r=1.000,P=0.01).Generally menstruation resumed around 2～3 months after chemotherapy.Ahhough the serum levels of sexual hormone seemed to be normal at half a year after chemotherapy in CRA patients,the serum FSH(8.30±1.46 mU/ml) and E2(80.50±7.86 ng/L) level were significantly increased as compared with that of the control group and the reverse was found in Fo numbers(3.80±1.04) (t Fo,FsH,E2=7.660,5.277,7.225;P F0,FSH,E2<0.001,<0.001,<0.001).One year after chemotherapy,serum hormone level and the ovary reserve function of the CRA patient came to be normal[FSH=(5.59±0.52)mU/ml,LH=(5.25±0.84)mU/ml,E2=(56.50±5.13)ng/L,Fo=(6.50±1.08)] and that of control group [FSH=(5.43±0.35)mU/ml,LH=(5.17±0.48)mU/ml,E2=(58.10±3.73)ng/L,F0=(6.60±0.97)](t=1.177,0.694,0.505,0.740;P>0.05,>0.05,>0.05,P>0.05).Conclusions Ovarian function impairment may occur in young patients in adolescence and sexual maturity period with ovarian malignant germ cell tumors who were treated by conservative surgery followed by chemotherapy.Although the CRA is reversible,the recovery of menstruation does not meail the recovery of ovarian funetion.because the ovarian impairment may continue to a duration of half a year after chemotherapy.The drug which can safeguard ovariall function should be considered during chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: When the dynamic equilibrium between oxidation system and anti-oxidation system in the body is upset, the overly produced active oxygen-derived free radicals will attack the target organs, thus resulting in the damage to organs and big molecules, and then diseases. Total anti-oxidation capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity are the majorindexes for the defense system of the body, and their status is closely related to diseases. OBJECTIVE:To explore the level of T-AOC, SOD and NOS in serum,and find out its relationship with lifestyle. DESIGN:Single sample investigation. SETTING:Department of Health Laboratory Technology, College of Public Health of Harbin Medical University. PARTICIPANTS:Totally 531 residents of Bin County aged 20 to 70years were recruited between September 2000 and May2001. MATERIALS:The reagents kits of T-AOC, SOD and NOS were manufactured by Nanjing Jiancheng Bio-engineering Institute. METHODS:The investigators surveyed the residents with the same questionnaire. Questionnaire was made and the investigators were trained in advance. The questionnaire was filled in item by item as required. Questionnaire items consisted of the general situation, financial status, dietary habit, hobby, status of health care, and mental factor. Finally 95 investigation indexes were completed. The activity of serum T-AOC, SOD and NOS of the 531 residents in Bin County was determined, respectively, with reagent kits produced by Nanjing Jiancheng Bio-engineering Institute. The lifestyle factors were analyzed by multivariate stepwise regression analysis,and informed consent was obtained from the participants. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURFS:① Serum T-AOC, SOD and NOS in the participants; ② lifestyle factors affecting T-AOC, SOD and NOS.RFSULTS:According to actual analysis, the 531 participants entered the results analysis. T-AOC was measured in 489 participants, SOD in 525participants, and NOS in 531 participants. ① Indexes of the participants:T-AOC of the males was obviously higher than that of the females [(20.01±7.21), (15.25±6.22) kU/L, P ＜ 0.05]. SOD of the males was slightly lower than that of the females while NOS of the males was slightly higher than that of the females, but there was no significant difference. ②Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that risk factors related to T-AOC were gender difference (OR=2.188), educational level (OR=1.859),and the presence of rheumatism, respectively (OR =1.142). SOD-related risk factors were educational level (OR=1.584), years of spirit drinking (OR =1.048), presence of nephritis (OR=1.093), and irradiation (OR=1.770);frequency of tea drinking was a beneficial factor (OR=0.800). NOS-related risk factors were the average amount of cigarette smoking (OR=1.194) and the times of weekly spirit drinking (OR=1.368). However, the beneficial factor that affected serum NOS was the frequency of weekly mutton eating (OR=0.458) CONCLUSION:This experiment revealed that the ability to clean free radical in the 531 subjects was good and that it was better in males than in females. The increased educational level and presence of rheumatism can decrease T-AOC. Drinking, smoking and irradiation decrease SOD activity while the frequency of tea drinking and mutton eating are beneficial factors.

Carotenoids play an important role in regulating the hydrogen production of hydrogen-producing Rhodobacter sp. The carotenoids of hydrogen-producing Rhodobacter sp. grown in acetate medium were extracted by using acetone-methanol (7∶2,V/V) solvent and were separated by using thin-layer chromatography on silica-gel plate. The qualitative and quantitative of the carotenoids were analyzed by spectrometry. The results showed that the carotenoids were completely extracted three times with acetone-methanol (7∶2,V/V) in two hours. The ultrasonication had little effect on yield of carotenoids. The yield of carotenoids was 2.81mg/g wet cell. There were 4 spots on the silica-gel plate in the order of yellow, red, light red and light yellow. Yellow spot and red spot were the dominant composition of carotenoid in Rhodobacter sp. The spectrometry data showed that the yellow and red component might be the spheroidene and spirilloanthin respectively.

Objective To demonstrate the superiority and feasibility of using bioluminescent image to monitor the islet graft after islet transplantation.Methods Diabetic models were established by intraperitoneal injection of streptomycin into mature male C57BL/6 mice.Islets were harvested from the pancreas of C57BL/6 and Bclb/c mice by digestion and purification,and transfected with Lueiferase gene.The mouse diabetic models were divided into iso-transplantaion group (n=20) and allo-transplantation group (n=7).The islets of C57BL/6 were transplanted into iso-transplantaion mice with different doses (10,50,110 and 200,n=5 in every dose),and Bclb/c mouse islets were transplanted into allo-transplantation group.The islets were transplanted into the subcutaneous fat tis- sue near left scapula.The receptor mice were scanned with CCD camera to get bioluminescent images at different scheduled time points,and the changes in random blood glucose of allo-transplantation group were observed.Results On day 6 after transplantation,the scanning image showed that the pi- xel intensity from the region of interest (ROI) was increased with the increased number of islet grafts and they had a positive correlation.The random blood glucose was reduced to the normal level in the first 2 days,and then increased again to the diabetic level on 11 days averagely,while pixel intensity from the ROI reached the peak on day 6-7,and then reduced rapidly after islet transplantation in allo- transplantation group.The beginning of pixel intensity reduction occurred on day (6.14?0.90), while that of the random blood glucose raise occurred on day (10.00?0.82) after transplantation,and the former alteration occurred obviously earlier than the latter (P
