The marine biological source of mineral drugs recorded in Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 version) mainly including pearl, nacre, clam shell, common oyster shell, ark shell, cuttle bone, and sea-ear shell are widely used in clinical. Calcium carbonate and a small amount of protein are the main components in this type of drugs. In this paper, a systematical and comparable study were carried out by determination of calcium carbonate by EDTA titration method, the crystal of calcium carbonate by X-Ray powder diffraction and the total amino acids (TAAs) of the hydrolyzed samples by ultraviolet spectrophotometry method. As a result, the crystal structure is calcite for common oyster shell, mixture of calcite and aragonite for nacre and sea-ear shell, aragonite for the other drugs. The content of calcium carbonate ranged from 86% to 96%. Cuttle bone has the highest amount of TAAs among the seven drugs which reached 1.7% while clam shell has the lowest content of 0.16% on average. In conclusion, an effective method was developed for the quality control of marine mineral drugs by comprehensive analysis of calcium carbonate and TAAs in the seven marine mineral drugs.

2.In situ rats single pass perfusion intestinal absorption of the effectivein components in Radix Angelicae Pubescentis.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2008;43(1):102-107
In order to study the intestinal absorption behaviors of three active constituents, columbianetin acetate, osthole and columbianadin in Radix Angelicae Pubescentis extracts, in situ rat single pass intestine perfusion (SPIP) was carried out by the perfusion solution of the extract I containing less than 10% total coumarins. The absorption of extract II containing more than 60% total coumarins was compared with that of extract I by rat colon SPIP to elucidate the influence on absorption of the different coumarin content extracts of the Chinese traditional medicine. The samples of the perfusion solution were collected in certain intervals. The concentrations of three active components in the perfusion samples were determined by HPLC method. The results demonstrated that the absorption rate constants (Ka) or apparent permeability coefficients (Papp) of columbianetin acetate, osthole and columbianadin from extract I had no significant difference among concentration ranges of 62-555 microg x mL(-1), 101-887 microg x mL(-1), 19-186 microg x mL(-1), respectively. The absorption quantity of three components was proportional to its concentration respectively and the saturate absorption phenomena were not observed. This suggested that the absorption of columbianetin acetate, osthole and columbianadin showed the passive diffusion process. Three components could be absorbed in whole intestinal sections. The Ka and Papp of three components all showed colon > duodenum > jejunum > ileum in four different regions of rat intestine. At colon, Ka and P app were significant different from the others. The Ka or Papp of three components from the extract I was significantly more than that of same components from extract II. The extract I redounded to increase the absorption of three active components.

OBJECTIVETo explore the role of estrogen in the regulation of the expression of claudin-6 and biological behavior in MCF-7 cells.
METHODSRT-PCR and immunocytochemistry were conducted to analyze the expression and localization of claudin-6 in MCF-7 cells treated with 17β-estradiol. CCK-8 kit assay and Scratch Test were conducted to analyze the capability of proliferation and migration of 17β-estradiol treated MCF-7 cells.
RESULTSRT-PCR analysis and immunocytochemistry showed that 17β-estradiol induced a concentration-and time-dependent effect on claudin-6. At 5 nmol/L and at 24 h, 17β-estradiol treatment led to an increased level of claudin-6, which was located in the membrane of MCF-7 cells. CCK-8 analysis showed a significant decrease in the capability of proliferation of MCF-7 cells compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Cells Scratch Test showed decreased migration capability of MCF-7 cells compared with the control group (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS17β-E2 might regulate the expression of claudin-6 and inhibit the proliferation and migration of MCF-7 cells. The inhibitory effects of 17β-E2 on growth and migration of MCF-7 cells may be mediated by claudin-6 expression regulation.
