Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2019;50(8):1927-1934
Objective: The sustained release curcumin solid lipid nanoparticles (Cur-SLN) and long circulating solid lipid nanoparticles (LSLN) were prepared, and the physicochemical properties of the two nanoparticles were investigated. Methods: Cur-SLN was prepared by emulsification ultrasonic method, and then the entrapment efficiency and drug loading of Cur-SLN prepared under the optimal formulation were determined. Cur-LSLN was prepared by back-extrapolation method, and the physicochemical properties of Cur-SLN and Cur-LSLN were evaluated by entrapment efficiency, drug loading, particle size, and Zeta potential; DSC was used to analyze, in vitro release characteristics and the transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to observe particle appearance. Results: Based on the optimal conditions, TEM showed that the appearance of Cur-SLN and Cur-LSLN were spherical or nearly spherical, the entrapment efficiency respectively were (89.15 ± 0.66)% and (92.97 ± 0.27)%, drug loading were (1.72 ± 0.08)% and (1.98 ± 0.08)%, average diameters of particles were (144.5 ± 4.1) nm and (155.0 ± 2.6) nm, and the mean Zeta potential were (-23.6 ± 0.2) mV and (-47.8 ± 1.8) mV. Through DSC detection, it can be determined that Cur in nanoparticles had been transformed into amorphous state. In vitro release test showed that the drug release of the two preparations was divided into two stages: burst release phase and sustained released stage, the release rate was fast in 12 h, and the cumulative release of Cur-SLN in 96 h was 86.63%, and Cur-LSLN was 76.98%, so Cur-LSLN showed better sustained-release effect. Conclusion: Cur-SLN and Cur-LSLN can be successfully prepared by emulsification ultrasonic method, and PEG modified nanoparticles have better sustained-release properties and prolong the time of the presence of drug in vivo, providing reference for the development of targeted drugs.

This paper is aimed to study the differences of allelopathic effects of Panax notoginseng under different allelopathic chemicals resources and selection of appropriate rotation crops. The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction ( AMMI) model had been used to evaluate the stability of allelopathic effects of P. notoginseng on the varieties of corn, wheat and rice properly. The model could use not only to evaluate the stability of non-regional trial data but also explore the interaction between the rotation crop genotypes and donor substances more efficiently. Meanwhile, correspondence analysis can be used in the AMMI to evaluate genotype stability and donor substances. Ejingza No. 1 (g6) had stronger allelopathic effects with high stability, but Yunrui No. 1 (g9) which was appropriate rotation crop genotype, had weaker allelopathic effects with high stability. These findings will aid in choosing appropriate rotation crops and establishing proper rotation system.

Objective To study the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) expression in the col-lagen induced arthritis(CIA) model and its role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. Methods We established CIA model, and taked CIA model of the ankle joint to have them HE staining and HIF-1α immu-nohistochemistry staining, then the HIF-1α expression in the tissues of RA was observed. Results The ex-pression of CIA synovial membrane of rat and the lower synodal both was expressed in HIF-1α. The positive expression of HIF-1α reached the highest volume in the first 21 days. Then, with the disease progression, the expression gradually decreased, which was in significantly positive relation with the synovial pathology score, synovial hyperplasia and angingenesis rating score, however, the expression was no positively correla-ted with the inflammatory infiltration. Conclusion The expression of HIF-1α in RA tissue is positively re-lated with inflammation severity, It indicates that HIF-1α is closely related to the occurrence and develop-ment of RA.
