Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2010;45(6):718-23
This study is to establish a rat chronic asthma model. Sensitive SD rats were selected through histamine challenge. The asthmatic groups were sensitized by ih and ip with OVA, aluminium hydroxide gel and inactivated bacillus pertussis on day 1 and 14. From day 21, acute asthmatic group was aerosolized 1% OVA for 1 week, chronic asthmatic group was aerosolized 0.1% OVA for 12 weeks. The control groups received saline as the substitution of OVA. Twenty four hours after the last provocation, physiological monitoring equipment was used to detect the pulmonary function, then the rats were sacrificed. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected to calculate the ratio of different inflammatory cells. ELISA was used to detect total IgE and OVA-specific IgE in serum. Microscopy was conducted to observe the histopathology of lung stained with haematoxylin and eosin staining. Collagen fibers were detected using Picric acid-Sirius red staining technique. The optical density at 610 nm of extractive from locus caeruleus was detected by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA). The results showed that the asthmatic characteristics were significantly developed in model groups, but not in control groups. Chronic asthmatic group had significantly higher indexes than acute asthmatic group, including the thickness of airway smooth muscle and bronchial basement membrane, and goblet cell hyperplasia, the area of collagen in airways, A610 of extractive from locus caeruleus, the concentration of total IgE and OVA-specific IgE in serum. However, inflammatory cell infiltrate in lungs and the percentage of eosinophils of white blood cells in BALF were lower in chronic asthmatic group than those in acute asthmatic group. Respiratory rate and respiratory flow showed no significant difference in both model groups. In conclusion, the rat chronic asthma model is established by the way in this study, which is comparable to the physiopathologic characteristics of human asthma.

Objective To compare the pharmacokinetics difference of methotrexate ( MTX) alone or MTX combined with the decoction of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae ( RSM) in rats, and to investigate the possible impact of RSM on the efficacy and pharmacokinetics of MTX after oral administration. Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were given MTX (7 mg/kg) alone or MTX together with RSM (3.085 g/kg) respectively. At different time points, blood was sampled from orbital venous plexus and then was precipitated by perchloric acid. The serum concentration of MTX was determined by using high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC) method. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a reversed-phase Diamonsil C18 (2) column with the mobile phase of methanol-formic acid water solution (formic acid in volume fraction of 0.1%) in gradient elution. The column temperature was 27 ℃, flow rate was 1 mL/min, detection wavelength was 302 nm, and the injection volume was 10 μL. The results were analyzed by pharmacokinetic software DAS ( 2.1.1) by non-compartment model. Results The linearity of the calibration curve for MTX was good in the range of 0.097 6 ~ 12.5 mg/L, the detection limit was 0.097 6 mg/L and the recovery was in the range of 77.5% ~ 86.6%. Compared with MTX group, the peak-arriving time of MTX-RSM group was advanced, and the clearance of MTX was delayed. Area under concentration-time curve at 0-t (AUC(0-t)) was increased by 0.609 times, and AUC(0-∞) was increased by 0.786 times. Conclusion The decoction of RSM exerts an effect on promoting the absorption of MTX, delaying the clearance of MTX and enhancing the bioavailability of MTX in vivo.
