OBJECTIVETo investigate the safety of different level of tween 80 by comparing the degree of pseudoanaphylactoid reactions (PR) induced by medicinal tween 80 and injectable tween 80.

METHODThe analysis of vascular permeability of the mice ears: ICR mouse were divided into different test groups, the mice were intravenously injected with solutions of medicinal tween 80 and injectable tween 80 with 0.2%, 1% and 5% concentration, positive control Compound 48/80 and 5% glucose injection. All test substances were mixed with 0.4% Evans blue. The reaction and vascular permeability of the ears were observed and measured 30 min after injection. The analysis of vascular permeability of the rat's skin: the rats were intravenous injected with 0. 6% Evans blue normal saline solution first, 10 minutes later, the same substances were intradermal administrated into the back of rats. The rats were sacrificed and the diameter of locus ceruleus and the content of Evans blue leak out were measured 20 min after injection.

RESULTMedicinal tween 80 and injectable tween 80 with 5% concentration caused obvious vascular hyper permeability in ICR mice, but the degree of vascular hyperpermeability caused by injectable tween 80 was lighter than by medicinal tween 80. Other tween 80 didn't cause obvious vascular hyper permeability in the ears of mouse. The solution of different concentration of tween 80 caused obvious locus ceruleus reaction in rat's back. As for the content Evans blue leak out, there was no statistical significance between each group except positive control Compound 48/80 group.

CONCLUSIONTween 80 can cause obvious vascular hyper permeability and the effect is dose dependent, which indicated that tween 80 can cause PR. On the other hand, injectable tween 80 is more security than medicinal tween 80, the dosage of tween 80 should be still controlled strictly so that to decrease the incidence of PR.

OBJECTIVETo compare the anaphylactoid effect of old Shengmai injection and new Shengmai injection on Cynomolgus monkey.

METHODCynomolgus monkeys were randomly divided into 4 groups, and were respectively injected with 5% glucose injection, old Shengmai injection, new Shengmai injection, positive control drug. The changes of each monkey were observed from injection before until 24 hours after injection, and the response level was determined according to the severity of the symptoms. Blood samples were collected before injection and at 10 min after injection for measuring histamine content in plasma. Blood pressure and heart rates were detected before injection and at 10 min after injection. Sensitization of the injection was comprehensively determined by combined the response level of symptoms and the histamine level.

RESULTThe Cynomolgus monkeys administrated with old Shengmai injection showed typical symptoms of anaphylactoid reactions and the content of serum histamine is not more than doubled. The Cynomolgus monkeys administrated with new Shengmai injection showed untypical symptoms of anaphylactoid reactions and the content of serum histamine did not rise.

CONCLUSIONThe old Shengmai injection can induce typical anaphylactoid reactions on Cynomolgus monkeys, and the sensitization ability is strong. The symptoms of anaphylactoid reactions induced by the new Shengmai injection appeared later and showed lesser degree with the sensitization lower.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the sensitization effect of different components of Shengmai injection (new production process) on Beagle dogs.

METHODBeagle dogs were randomly divided into 7 groups, 3 in each group. Each group was respectively injected with 5% glucose injection, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma Rubra extract, Ophiopogonis Radix extract, Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus extract, Schisandrae Chinersis Fructus distillate, Shengmaifang, 0.2% tween 80. The changes of each dog were observed from injection before until 24 hours after injection, and the response level was determined according to the severity of the symptoms. Blood samples were collected before injection and at 10 min after injection for measuring histamine content in plasma by ELISA. Sensitization of the injection was comprehensively determined by combined the response level of symptoms and the histamine level.

RESULTOne dog of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma Rubra extract group showed untypical symptoms of anaphylactoid reactions, and serum histamine of two dogs increased more than doubled. The Beagle dogs administrated with 0.2% tween 80 showed typical symptoms of anaphylactoid reactions, while there was no significant increase of serum histamine. Other groups were observed with no typical anaphylactoid reactions.

CONCLUSIONThe sensitization effect of Shengmai injection (new production process) may be associated with Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma Rubra extract and 0.2% tween 80.

In this paper, the domestic and international demand and development trend of clinical diagnostic radionuclides are analyzed, and the medium and high-energy cyclotrons, adequate and systematic facilities, and preparation techniques required for the production of medical radionuclides based on solid targets are introduced. This paper focuses on the research and development carried out by some important medical institutions and scientific research institutes in China over the years in the aspects of medium and high-energy cyclotrons, beam transmission lines, high-power irradiation target stations and new medical isotope production processes etc. It also looks forward to some new directions for the development of medical radionuclides in China during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
