Objective: To prepare voriconazole (VCZ) sulfonated butyl ether-β-cyclodextrin (SBE-β-CD) inclusion compound and study the properties in vitro.Methods: VCZ SBE-β-CD inclusion compound was prepared respectively by a stirring method, an ultrasonic method and a grinding method, and the one with the highest inclusion rate and inclusion compound yield was chosen as the final preparation method.The formula and preparation process were optimized by an orthogonal design.The inclusion compound was identified by differential scanning calorimetry and solubility determination, and the in vitro dissolution was determined as well.Results: The stirring method had the highest inclusion rate and inclusion compound yield, and the optimal preparation and formula conditions were as follows: the inclusion temperature was 25℃, the stirring time was 4 h and the amount ratio of VCZ to SBE-β-CD was 1∶1.After the optimization, the inclusion rate was (86.14 ± 0.69)%, and the yield of inclusion compound was (97.11 ± 0.31)%.After the inclusion, the characteristic peak of VCZ disappeared and the solubility of VCZ increased significantly.Compared with those of VCZ, the dissolution rate and amount of VCZ inclusion compound both increased notably.Conclusion: VCZ SBE-β-CD inclusion compound can be prepared by the stirring method, which lays foundation for the further studies on VCZ eye drop.

The changes of the hemorheology, plasma cholesterol and albumin and clinicaleffects in 36 children with refractory nephrosis after treatment with polysaccharide sulfate (PSS) were observed. The results showed that the indices of hemorheology and the plasma cholesterol decreased obviously and the albumin increased obviously than the control group ( P

Objective:To establish an HPLC method for the determination of isomeric impurity in fasudil hydrochloride. Meth-ods:The chromatographic method was carried out on a Kromasil 100-5 Phenyl C18 column with phenyl bonded silica as the filler (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm), and phosphate buffer (10 mmol· L-1 ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, adjusting pH to 4. 0 with 1% phos-phoric acid) -acetonitrile (80∶ 20) was used as the mobile phase. The detection wavelength was 275nm and the column temperature was 40℃. The flow rate was 1. 0 ml· min-1 , and the injection volume was 10 μl. Results:Fasudil hydrochloride and its derivative was linear within the range of 0. 148-2. 960 μg·ml-1(r=1. 0000) and 0. 101-2. 014μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9), respectively. The av-erage recovery of isomer impurity in fasudil hydrochloride was 101. 9% with RSD of 0. 98%(n=9). Conclusion:The method is sim-ple,accurate and reproducible,which can be used for the quality control of fasudil hydrochloride and its isomer.

Objective To evaluate right ventricular(RV)function by tissue Doppler imaging(TDI)and Tei index in patmnts with coronary artery disease(CAD).Methods One hundred twenty patients who underwent coronary angiography(CAG)were enrolled.Based on clinic evidences,such as CAG,disease history,symptom,ECG,and myocardial enzymes,all patients were divided into three groups:control group,angina group and myocardial infarction(MI)group.TDl was performed on the lateral and septal tricuspid annular.RV Tei index was obtained either from the pulse-wave Doppler(PW-Tel)and from TDI(TDI-Tei).Results There were significant differences in RV PW-Tei,TDI-Tei,Ea,and Ea/Aa among three groups.PW-Tei was 0.363±0.086.0.463±0.078 and 0.569±0.066,and TDI-Tei was 0.400±0.058,0.520±0.078 and 0.628±0.059 for the control group,angina group and MI group,respectively.Ea and Ea/Aa were gradually decreased following the severity of CAD.Sa was no difference between the control group and angina group,while Sa was much lower in mvocardial infarction group than in other groups.RV PW-Tei had a good correlation with the lateral and septal TDI-Tei.The lateral and septal TDI-Tel were significant correlated with motion velocities.Conclusions TDI can be used to comprehensively evaluate RV function in patients with CAD.TDI-Tei can sensitive reflect the damage level of overall RV function in patients with different degree CAD.

Aim To investigate the roles of p53-dependent signaling pathways in the process of ginsenoside Rg1 protection against 8-methoxypsoralen(8-MOP) and subsequent ultraviolet A(UVA) irradiation induced photoaging model in human dermal fibroblasts(HDFs).Methods Photoaging model was established by 8-MOP/UVA in skin HDFs.Flow cytometry, enzyme cytochemistry, immunofluorescence and Western blot were employed.Results Pretreatment with ginsenoside Rg1 could significantly reduce the amount of UVA-generated 8-oxo-dG and relieve the photoaging representation.Compared with 8-MOP/UVA treatment group, pretreatment with Ginsenoside Rg1 could decrease the expression of SA β-galatosides(SA-β-Gal), and down-regulate the level of senescence associated proteins(p16 and p21).Conclusions Ginsenoside Rg1 has prominent dose-dependent antagonism on senescence of skin HDFs induced by 8-MOP/UVA, and its mechanism may be due to its antioxidation which reduces the production of photoproducts to protect telomere against abnormal shortening.

BACKGROUND: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the clonal expansion of hematopoietic stem cells. Without effective treat ment, individuals in the indolent, chronic phase (CP) of CML will undergo blast crisis (BC), the prognosis for which is poor. Therefore, it is important to clarify the mechanism underlying CML from a whole-genome perspec tive. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the gene expression profile of bone marrow mononuclear cells from CML with Applied Biosystems Expression Array System.DESIGN: Observation and controlled analysis.SETTING: Institute of Gene Engineering, Southern Medical University PARTICIPANTS: Samples of two cases of bone marrow (a chronic myeloid leukemia patient and a healthy person).METHODS: This experiment was conducted at the Institute of Gene Engineering, Southern Medical University from October 2004 to September 2005.The total RNAs were extracted and purified from bone marrow mononuclear cells derived from a CML patient and a healthy person. mRNAs were purified using an oligo (dT)-cellulose mRNA purification kits and labeled using reverse transcription, in vitro transcription (RT-IVT), then hybridized with microarray. Gene expression differentiation of the bone marrow mononuclear cells were examined by ABI 1700 Chemiluminescent Microarray Analyzer. Reproducibility of microarray results was assessed by comparing data sets obtained from the same sample and analyzed by two different arrays.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Assessment of quality of total RNA and labled cRNA. ②Reproducibility of microarray. ③ Hybridization of array.④Results of semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction RESULTS: ①Using statistical data analysis tools, we identified 6 706 genes that were up- or down-regulated in CML patient compared with the healthy person. In these genes, we found that 17 genes were up-regulated while 51 genes were down-regulated among 68 genes closely related to CML. ②most differentially expressed genes in C/EBPalpha mediated path way and CD40L signaling pathway had reduced expression. ③Good repro ducibility of microarray was confirmed by analysis of correlation and detection concordance in technical replicates. The correlation coefficient of the detectable probe in technical replicates was 0.991 for the CML patient and 0.988 for the healthy person. ④The results of semi-quantitative RT-PCR experiments supported the reliability of our microarray analysis.CONCLUSION: By comparing expression patterns of CML with those of the healthy person, we identified a large number of genes that, were up- or down-regulated in CML patients. These data should provide useful information for finding candidate genes whose products might serve as molecular targets for treatment of CML patients.
