Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2013;44(20):2845-2851
Objective: To use co-crystal and solid dispersion technology, screen a suitable carrier material to prepare ursolic acid (UA) co-crystal solid dispersion in order to improve the solubility and dissolution of UA. Methods: UA and UA piperazine co-crystal (UA-PP) solid dispersions were prepared with solvent method by using four carriers, respectively. The solubility and in vitro dissolution of free drug, co-crystal, and solid dispersions were determined. Results: The solubility of UA and UA-PP solid dispersions was significantly higher than free drug and its physical mixtures. Solid dispersion technology could further increase the solubility of UA-PP and accelerate its in vitro dissolution rate. The result layed the foundation for the development of a novel oral formulation of ursolic acid. Conclusion: The co-crystal and solid dispersion technology could improve the solubility and dissolution of UA. The UA-PP solid dispersions show the best improvement in the solubility and dissolution of UA.
6.Study on Serum Levels of Pepsinogen and Gastrin-17 and their Relationships with Helicobacter pylori Infection in Uygur and Han Population with Gastric Cancer in Xinjiang Area
Chinese Journal of Gastroenterology 2016;21(6):348-352
Background:Serum levels of pepsinogen( PG),gastrin-17( G-17)and Helicobacter pylori( Hp)infection are closely associated with gastric cancer. Studies on relationship of serum levels of PG and G-17 with Hp infection in Uygur and Han population with gastric cancer in Xinjiang area are rare. Aims:To investigate serum levels of PG and G-17 and their relationships with Hp infection in Uygur and Han population with gastric cancer in Xinjiang area. Methods:A total of 198 Uygur and 50 Han gastric cancer patients were enrolled,and healthy people with the same race were served as normal controls. Serum levels of PGⅠ,PGⅡ,G-17 were determined by ELISA,PGⅠ/ PGⅡ ratio(PGR)was calculated. Urea breath test and stool Hp antigen test were used to detect Hp infection. Results:Serum PGⅠ level and PGR in Uygur and Han patients with gastric cancer were significantly decreased than those in corresponding control groups(P < 0. 05),and serum levels of PGⅡ and G-17 were significantly increased(P < 0. 05). Serum PGⅠ level and PGR in Uygur gastric cancer patients were significantly decreased than those in Han gastric cancer patients(P < 0. 05),and serum G-17 level was significantly increased(P < 0. 05). Hp infection rate in Uygur and Han patients with gastric cancer were significantly increased than those in corresponding control groups( P < 0. 05). Serum level of PG Ⅰ and PGR were significantly decreased in Han gastric cancer patients with Hp-positive than in Hp-negative patients,and serum levels of PGⅡ and G-17 were significantly increased(P < 0. 05). Serum levels of PGⅠ,PGⅡ and G-17 were significantly increased in Uygur gastric cancer patients with Hp-positive than in Hp-negative patients,PGR was significantly decreased(P < 0. 05). Serum levels of PGⅠ,PGⅡ and PGR were significantly increased in Uygur gastric antral cancer patients than in gastric corpus cancer and proximal gastric cancer patients(P < 0. 05). Conclusions:Decreased serum PGⅠ level,PGR and increased serum level of G-17 can be used as biomarkers to screen gastric cancer in Uygur and Han population in Xinjiang area. Hp infection in Uygur and Han patients with gastric cancer is related to the changes of serum level of PGⅠ,PGR and G-17.

Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2014;37(4):28-32
Objective To study the effects of genistein and adriamycin on the proliferation of human ovarian cell A2780 and growth of tumor bearing nude mice.Methods The ovarian cancer cell A2780 suspension were inoculated into nude mice (n=40 )to establish the animal models with ovarian tumor.These model rats were randomly divided into four groups,saline group and different genistein concentrations combined with adriamycin treatment group (high-dose,middle-dose and low-dose group)by intraperitoneal injection once a week.After treatment for four weeks,the ovarian tumors in all rats were peeled off and weighted for the measurement of tumor inhibition rate.The expression of c-myc in ovarian tumors were detected by immunohistochemistry.In vitro,after affected by different genistein concentrations combined with adriamycin,the expression of c-myc in A2780 cell of each group were detected by western blot.The proliferation of A2780 cell were determined by MTT method,and the invasiveness of cell by cell adhesion and transwell assay,the apoptosis rate and cell cycle were measured by flow cytometry. Results The tumor inhibition rates in middle-dose (40.26 ± 4.25)% and high-dose groups[,(44.81 ±5.74)%])were significantly lower than saline group (P<0.05).Immunohistochemistry results showed that c-myc monoclonal antibody in middle-dose and high-dose groups can significantly inhibit the activation of c-myc in ovarian carcinoma tissue.Compared with control group,the expression of c-myc in A2780 cell were significantly decreased,the proliferation and invasiveness of cell were inhibited,cells in G0/G1 phase were significantly increased(P<0.05)and in S phase were(P<0.05)decreased,and the apoptosis were induced by genistein combined with adriamycin in middle-dose and high-dose (P <0.05 ).Conclusion Genistein combined with adriamycin in certain doses could inhibit the proliferation and invasiveness of ovarian carcinoma,and induce its apoptosis.The mechanism may be related to the decreased expression of c-myc.
