Objective To prepare ?-CD(?-cyclodextrin) inclusion compounds and PEG- 4000[poly-(ethylene glycol) 4000] solid dispersions of mefenamic acid (MFA)in order to improve its dissolution. Methods The inclusion compounds of MFA were prepared using saturated ?-CD solution method by orthogonal test. The solid dispersions were prepared using melt-cool process with PEG- 4000 as a carrier. The inclusion compounds and solid dispersions were identified by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) gram and their dissolution rates were tested in pH8.0 buffer solution. Results The suitable condition for preparing ?-CD inclusion compounds of MFA industrially was the weight ratio of 1∶4 between MFA and ?-CD, agitating for 4 h at 70 ℃. The suitable proportion for preparing solid dispersions of MFA was the weight ratio of 1∶4 between MFA and PEG- 4000. Conclusion Dissolution rates of MFA are apparently improved in inclusion compounds and PEG- 4000 solid dispersions, and the solubility of MFA is apparently increased by 2~3 times in inclusion compounds and PEG- 4000 solid dispersions.

Objective To investigate the pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance in orthopedics patients, so as to guide the clinical use of antibiotics.Method708 secretions and pus samples from orthopedic outpatients and inpatients were cultured aerobically.The detectable bacteria were subjected to drug sensitivity test in vitro by the K-B assay.Result259 pathogenic strains were detected, and 47.9% of them were Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, 33.0%: coagulase-negative staphylococci, 14.9%),and the remaining 52.1% were Gram-negative (Pseudomonas, 7.3%; Acinetobacter, 6.1%). The drug-resistant rate of Gram-positive cocci to penicillin and oxcillin tended to raise over the three years : however, all the detected Gram-positive cocci were sensitive to vancomycin (100%).Most Gram-negative bacilli were sensitive to imipenem (95.8%) in the past three years and the sensitivity to ceftazidime was also high; however, the sensitivity tended to fall over the past three years. The drug-resistant rates of Gram-negative bacilli to CiprofIoxacin. amikacin and piperacillin were 46.0%. 47.0% and 51.2% respectively.ConclusionGram-negative bacilli dominate the pathogenic bacteria in orthopaedic patients and they tend to increase. The incidence of infections by Gram-positive cocci is lower than that of infections by Gram-negative bacilli. In terms of individual bacteria ,staphylococcus aureus leads among all of these pathogenic bacteria, Vancomycin, Oxacillin and Norfloxacin are preferred drugs against Gram-positive cocci, while imipenem and ceftazidime are preferred for Gram-negative bacilli.The incidence of infections by Gram-negative bacilli tend to raise and drug resistance of Gram-negative bacilli becomes serious:hence, it is crucialOto emphasize the detection of infectious bacteria and drug sensitive test and to use antibiotics rationally.

Objective To investigate the effects of cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R) on regulating visceral sensitivity in rats with acute partial restraint stress. Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into blank control (sham stress), acute stress and CB1R groups with 10 each. The frequency of discharge of electromyogram (EMG) was recorded at the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 8th day to evaluate the visceral sensitivity to colorectal distension (CRD) in rats. The expression of the CB1R mRNA was determined by means of RT-PCR at day 8. Results There was no significant difference in baseline discharge frequency among three groups at the 1st day. But the discharge frequencies corresponding to CRD at 40,60,80 mm Hg at the 2nd day were significantly lower in CB1R group [(22.37±1.49)/min, (42.24±3.03)/min and (69.09±5.54)/min, respectively] than in acute stress group [(39.71±1.84)/min, (84.45±8.85)/min and (112.56±11.66)/min, respectively, P<0.05)]. The discharge frequencies corresponding to CRD at 40, 60,80 mm Hg in acute stress group [(104.12±6.77)/min, (158.07±18.68)/min, (193.58±25.69)/min,respectively] showed a significant elevation at the 5th day in comparison with blank control group[(36.33±5.42)/min, (74.07±8.25)/min, (102.94±7.95)/min, respectively, P<0.05] or CB1R group [(74.66±6.44)/min,(140.10±4.68)/min and (160.39±5.60)/min,respectively, P<0.05]. However, at the 8th day after stress, there was no significant difference in discharge frequency among three groups. The expressions of CB1R mRNA in ileocecal junction, proximal colonic and distal colonic tissues were significantly higher in acute stress group (2.53±0.52, 2.29±0.42, 2.54±0.29 respectively) than in blank control group(0.56±0.15, 0. 73±0.12, 0.82±0.09, respectively, P<0.05). There was no effect of CB1R agonist on CB1R mRNA expression in rats. Conclusion The visceral sensitivity in rats induced by stress can trigger the accommodation of endogenous cannabinoid system that plays an important role in modulation of visceral sensitivity.

Objective To investigate the role of synaptic plasticity on the formation of visceral hypersensitivity induced by transient intestinal infection in rats. Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into normal control, acute infection and chronic infection groups with 10 each. The area under curve (AUC) of electromyography (EMG) in 10 s was used to evaluate the visceral sensitivity induced by different eolorectal distention (20,40,60 and 80 mmHg). Histological change of the colon was evaluated by H-E staining. Synaptic uhrastrueture such as synaptic cleft and synaptic vesicles was observed using transmission electron mieroseope. The mRNA and protein expressions of synaptophysin and postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95) were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. significantly higher than those of normal controls(P=0. 012, 0. 005, respectively ). In contrast, AUC of acute infection were significantly lower than those of normal controls ( P = 0. 018,0. 012, respectively ). Under the distention of 20 and 80 mmHg, no significant difference was observed among three groups (P= rats compared to normal controls(23.45±4.10 vs. 9.10±2.42, P=0. 027),but there was no statistical difference between chronic infection rats and normal controls (13. 95±7.96 vs. 9.15±2.42, P=0.78). increased. In acute infection rats, mitochondria cristae disappeared, synaptic vesicles and the length of controls, mRNA and protein of synaptophysin in ileocecum, proximal colon and distal colon were significantly increased in chronic infection rats (P<0. 05 ), but decreased in acute infection rats with no significant difference. Compared with controls, no significant downregulation was noted in the expression protein expressions of PSD-95 were both increased in chronic infection rats (P<0.05), and decreased in acute infection rats (P<0.05). Conclusion Synaptic plasticity plays an important role in the formation of visceral hypersensitivity induced by transient intestinal infection in rats.
