To study the drug-drug interaction of morinidazole and warfarin and its application, a sensitive and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of R-warfarin/S-warfarin in human plasma. In a random, two-period crossover study, 12 healthy volunteers received a single oral dose of 5 mg racemic warfarin in the absence and presence of morinidazole. Blood samples were collected according to a pre-designed time schedule. R-warfarin, S-warfarin and methyclothiazide were extracted with ethylether : methylenechloride (3 : 2), then separated on a Astec Chirobiotic V (150 mm x 4.6 mm ID, 5 microm) column using 5 mmol x L(-1) ammonium acetate (pH 4.0) - acetonitrile as mobile phase at a flow-rate of 1.5 mL x min(-1). The mobile phase was splitted and 0.5 mL x min(-1) was introduced into MS. A tandem mass spectrometer equipped with electrospray ionization source was used as detector and operated in the negative ion mode. Quantification was performed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The resolution of warfarin enantiomers is 1.56. The linear calibration curves for R-warfarin and S-warfarin both were obtained in the concentration range of 5 - 1 000 ng x mL(-1). Intra- and inter-day relative standard deviation (RSD) for R-warfarin and S-warfarin over the entire concentration range across three validation runs was both less than 10%, and relative error (RE) ranged from -4.9% to 0.7%, separately. The method herein described is effective and convenient, and suitable for the study of metabolic interaction between morinidazole and warfarin. The results showed that coadministration of warfarin with morinidazole did not affect the pharmacokinetics of either R-warfarin or S-warfarin.

Objective To investigate whether cesarean section on pregnant women with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may reduce mother-to-infant transmission risk of HBV.Methods Preserved serum samples of pregnant women at 15-20 weeks of gestation which were collected from July 2002 to August 2004 in 14 counties of Jiangsu Province were analyzed retrospectively.These samples were tested for HBV serologic markers with enzyme immunoassay,and 419 cases of positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were found.HBV DNA level of these HBsAg-positive women were further quantitatively measured with real-time polymerase chain reaction assay.Children of these 419 HBsAg-positive mothers were followed up during October 2009 to March 2010 and 298 of them were contactable (71.1％),among which 281 were enrolled in final analysis as they had complete information and had been vaccinated with three regular doses of HBV vaccine during infantile period.The 281 children were tested for serum HBV markers.The HBV infection rate in these children at age 5-7 was compared between those born by cesarean setion (CS group,n =136) and by vaginal delivery (VD group,n=145).T-test,x2 test or Fisher's exact test was used to analyze relevant parameters.Results(1) Maternal HBeAg-positive rates [25.7％ (35/136) vs 34.5％ (50/145)],HBV DNA levels in HBeAg-positive women [(2.30 × 106) IU/ml vs (2.09× 106) IU/ml],the percentages of HBIG injection after birth [38.2％ (52/136) vs 35.9％ (52/145)],breastfeeding ratios [82.4％ (112/136) vs 75.9％ (110/145)],and children' s ages at the follow-up [(5.9 ± 0.8) vs (6.0±0.6)] were comparable between CS group and VD group (all P＞0.05).(2) Among these 281 children,272 (96.8％) were HBsAg-negative,9 (3.2％) were HBsAg-positive and 163 (58.0％) were anti-HBs-positive.The prevalence of HBsAg-positive [(2.9％ (4/136) vs 3.4％ (5/145)],HBsAg negative and anti HBc positive [0.0％ (0/136) vs 1.4％ (2/145)] and anti-HBs positive [57.4％(78/136) vs 58.6％(85/145)] in CS group were similar to those in VD group.Conclusions Cesarean section does not reduce the risk of mother-to-infant transmission of HBV.In clinical practice,elective cesarean section should not be suggested in order to prevent HBV vertical infection.
