To study the effect of vascular proliferation and reconstruction in chronic hepatitis B (CHB), immunohistochemical staining and in situ hybridization were used. The expression of transforming growth factor (TGF-?1) and smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) in livers of CHB were observed. The results showed that TGF-?1 and ?-SMA were related with degeneration of hepatocytes, intrahepatic vascular fibrosis and hepatic sinusoidal capillarization. The expression degree and range of TGF-?1 and ?-SMA increased with the exacerbation of liver lesion. These results suggest that vascular proliferation and reconstruction may play important roles during the process of CHB.

OBJECTIVE:To study the in vitro dissolution of Enalapril maleate and folic acid tablet. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Agilent HC-C18 with mobile phase A of acetonitrle-phosphate buffer solution(70:30,V/V) and mobile phase B of acetonitrle-phosphate buffer solution(5:95,V/V)(gradient elution) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 215 nm,column temperature was 50 ℃,and volume injection was 80 μl. Media were water,hydrochloric acid solution(pH 1.2),phosphate buffer solution(pH 5.0)and phosphate buffer solution(pH 6.8),medium volume was 900 ml and rotation speed was 50 r/min. The dissolution behavior of enalapril maleate in Enalapril maleate and folic acid tablet in 4 media were studied and compared with the dissolution behavior in vitro in original preparation of Enalapril maleate tablet,meanwhile,the dissolution behar-ior of folic acid in Enalapril maleate and folic acid tablet in phosphate buffer solution(pH 5.0)were studied and compared with dis-solution data of folic acid preparation in Japanese Orange Book to evaluate the intrinsic quality. RESULTS:The linear range was 0.561-14.03μg/ml for enalapril maleate(r=0.999 9)and 0.043-1.085μg/ml for folic acid(r=0.999 9),respectively;RSDs of pre-cision and stability tests were lower than 2.0%;recoveries of enalapril maleate in 4 media were 100.63%-102.33%(RSD=0.72%, n=9),99.27%-100.44%(RSD=0.41%,n=9),99.71%-100.29%(RSD=0.15%,n=9)and 96.74%-99.19%(RSD=0.79%,n=9),respectively. Recoveries of folic acid were 100.18%-101.63%(RSD=0.48%,n=9),97.73%-101.81%(RSD=1.32%,n=9),99.60%-102.24%(RSD=0.74%,n=9)and 100.00%-102.76%(RSD=0.90%,n=9),respectively. In 15 min,the dissolution of enalapril maleate of 2 preparations in 4 dissolution media were more than 85%;dissolution speed of folic acid in Enalapril male-ate and folic acid tablet was faster than that in folic acid preparation in phosphate buffer solution(pH 5.0). CONCLUSIONS:The method is suitable to determine the dissolution of Enalapril maleate and folic acid tablet;the in vitro dissolution curve of enalapril maleate in Enalapril maleate and folic acid tablet is similar to Renitec,and the in vitro dissolution of folic acid is better than folic acid preparation.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula on secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro. Methods: HUVECs were cultured in vitro. Bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) at concentration of 320 U/mL and Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula at concentrations of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mg/mL were used to culture with HUVECs. And HUVECs in blank control group were cultured with culture solution only. After 24-hour culture, the content of VEGF in supernatant was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the expression of VEGFR-2 was detected by immunocytochemical staining and Western-blotting. Results: Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula at 0.4 mg/mL, the same as bFGF, increased VEGF content in the HUVEC supernatant and the number of VEGFR-2-positive HUVECs. Expression of VEGFR-2 protein in high-dose Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula group was up-regulated as compared with the blank control group. Conclusion: Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula can promote HUVEC proliferation and secretion of VEGF, as well as the expression of VEGFR-2 protein, which may be one of the mechanisms of Radix Ginseng and Radix Notoginseng formula in promoting angiogenesis.
