Several comparative studies on anti-implantation and estrogenicities of noret histerone oxime(NETO)and norethisterone(NET) or ethynyl estradiol (EE2)were carried out in order to clarify their relationships. It was observed that NETO was showed much stronger potency than NET, which the anti-implantation, uterotrophic and vaginal cornifi-cation effect were 25, 26, and 21 times, respectively. The ratio of anti-implantation to vaginal cornification of NETO was 14-fold stronger than that of EE2. These results suggest that the increased antiimplantative activity of NETO is related to its stronger estrogenic activity, but other mechanisms contribute to the anti-implantation besides estragenicity.

Objective To isolate and culture human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs),investigate the influence of hADSCs on the cellular morphology,survival rate,and function of human islet cells under the in vitro non-contact co-culture conditions,and explore its mechanism.Method hADSCs were isolated by collagenase digestion method,then cultured,and identified by morphology,immunofluorescence and multi-directional differentiation.Adult islet cells were separated and purified by Liberase enzyme and Ficoll 400,then divided into co-culture group and individual group.The cellular growth morphology of islet cells was observed by inverted phase contrast microscope.The survival rate of islet cells,insulin secretory volume,insulin stimulation index and concentration of growth factor in the supernatant were compared between the two groups.Result hADSCs of the third generation showed uniform long spindle fibrocyte-like morphology,and had multi-directional differentiational potentials of osteogenesis and adipogenesis.Immunofluorescence test of surface antigens on hADSCs revealed CD44 + and CD49d +,CD31-,CD34-and CD106-.After 14-day culture,the islet cellular morphology in co-culture group was more intact than that in individual group.The survival rate of islet cells in co-culture group was (82.83 + 2.32) ％,and that in individual group was (53.00 + 2.82) ％ (P＜0.01).Insulin secretory volumes were (23.66 + 2.11) and (7.82 +1.09) mU/L respectively in co-culture group and individual group under high glucose concentration,and 13.22 + 0.77 and 6.40 + 0.44 mU/L respectively under low glucose concentration (P＜0.01 for all).Insulin stimulation index was decreased from 1.67 + 0.10 (at 3rd day) to 1.77 + 0.13 (at 14th day) in co-culture group,and from (1.67 + 0.10) (at 3rd day) to (1.77 + 0.13) (at 14th day) in individual group (P＜0.01).After 14-day culture,the concentrations of HGF,TGF-β,VEGF and bFGF in the supernatant were higher in co-culture group than in individual group (P＜0.01).Conclusion hADSCs were isolated and cultured successfully from adult adipose tissue.They could increase the survival rate and improve the function of islet cells when co-culture with the adult islet cells in vitro through secreting HGF,TGF-β,VEGF and b-FGF.

Bicyclol with benzyl alcohol structure, is a poorly water-soluble drug, used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. To increase the drug solubility and oral bioavailability, a Bicyclol-phospholipid complex was studied on its preparation, formation mechanism, and the influence on drug physicochemical properties and oral absorption. The complex was prepared by a solvent evaporation method. The optimal formulation was selected by orthogonal experimental design, and a reasonable evaluating method of the complexation rate was established. Various methods, such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR), were used to explore the phase state and formation mechanism of the complex. The solubility of drug in complex was investigated in water/n-octanol. Preliminary study of its absorption and liver tissue distribution in rats was also carried out. The results showed that Bicyclol and phosphatidylcholine can be complexed entirely in the molar ratio 1 : 2. Bicyclol was dispersed in phospholipids as amorphous state. They were combined by intermolecular hydrogen bond due to charge transfer effect which occurred between the two polarities of the double bond between phosphorus and oxygen (P=O) of phosphatidylcholine and benzalcohol group of Bicyclol. The solubility of the complex compared to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) was effectively enhanced 5.75 times in water and 7.72 times in n-octanol, separately. In addition, drug concentrations were also enhanced 43 times in plasma and 13 times in liver with one hour after administering the complex to rats via oral gavage. All of these indicated that Bicyclol with benzalcohol group can interact with phospholipids to form complex, improving drug's physicochemical properties, thus further increasing its absorption and target tissue distribution. This study also provided theoretical reference for the research of other benzalcohol derivatives complexed with phospholipids.

Clinical data of 15 patients with penetrating injury in the distal segment of the common bile duct during biliary tract exploration were retrospectively analyzed.Nine injuries were found during the surgical procedures and successfully treated with common bile duct T tube and peritoneal drainage before discharged from the hospital (mean hospitalization time 16 days).Six penetrating wounds were found post-operatively, and underwent another operation.Four patients were fully recovered at 8 to 12 weeks, and 2 died from multiple organ failure caused by infectious shock.Our investigation suggests that for the penetrating injury in the distal part of the common bile duct, early diagnosis, proper management and effective draining may improve the survival of the patients and avoid serious complications.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the stability of 12 kinds of submicro emulsion in market,and screen the test method for the stability. METHODS:12 kinds of submicro emulsion in market were selected,high pressure sterilization (121 ℃,30 min), high speed centrifugation(4000 r/min,15 min),accelerated test [placing 6 months under temperature of(40±2)℃,relative hu-midity of (75 ± 5)%] were conducted to investigate the pH,particle size and other indexes,and SPSS 22.0 was used to analyze the distribution variance and chi-square test,and investigate the correlation of 3 evaluation methods. RESULTS:In terms of stabili-ty investigation,the pH value of 12 kinds of submicro emulsion decreased to some extent after accelerated test,average particle size of 6 kinds of submicro emulsion samples were greater than 300 nm,the variance of the particle size distribution of 9 kinds ap-peared in 0.05-0.15,the chi-square test results of 8 kinds distributed below 1. The average particle size of 4 kinds of submicro emul-sions changed more than 10 nm after accelerated test. In terms of stability test method,Pearson chi-square progressive significance of high pressure sterilization and accelerated test was 0.665,which was higher than 0.05,indicating there was no correlation (no significance),the stability results of high pressure sterilization can not represent the results of accelerated test;that of high speed centrifugation and accelerated test was 0.004,which was lower than 0.05,indicating stability results between high speed centrifuga-tion and accelerated test results were significantly correlated. CONCLUSIONS:The submicro emulsion in market can meet the re-quirements of stability. To a certain extent,high speed centrifugation can replace the acceleration test.
