OBJECTIVE: To prepare rifampicin suppositories and to determine its dissolution in vitro. METHODS: Rifampicin suppositories were prepared with gelatin and glycerine as base material, the dissolution of rifampicin suppositories was determined by UV spectrophotometry and which were compared with rifampicin capsules sold in the market. RESULTS: The linear range of rifampicin was 10.0～60.0?g?mL-1(r=0.9 999), and the average recovery was 99.87%(RSD=0.42%, n=6). The dissolutions of rifampicin suppositories and rifampicin capsules in vitro at 45min were(89.9?0.97)% and(79.8?1.14)%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Rifampicin suppositories were simple in preparative method, well-formed, low in cost, and with high dissolution in vitro.

Commercial production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic hydrolysates requires efficient fermenting strains. The abilities of the strain to converting all types of sugars in the hydrolysate to ethanol in high yield and to effectively tolerating/metabolizing inhibitors are necessary. Genome shuffling is a novel method for breeding, and it has been applied in pharmaceutical and food industry. This review summarized the technique of genome shuffling including principle, process, applications and its prospect for strains improvement in ethanol production from lignocellulosic hydrolysates.

Objective To explore the roles of urokinase type PA (uPA) and uPA receptor (uPA R) in the course of repair after human embryo corneal alkali burn in vitro . Methods After the alkali burn model in vitro was established successfully, some techniques such as the observation of cell culture and morphology, ICC and image analysis were used. Results No significant difference was found between the cells from corneal limbus and central cornea and almost all of them expressed AE1/AE3. The expressions of uPA and uPA R increased to the maximum at about 24 h after alkali burn. uPA expression distributed mainly in the cytoplasm but uPA R expression distributed mainly in the cell membrane. Conclusion The corneal epithelial cells of comparatively high purity can be acquired by tissue culture. There probably exists difference in development and vitality between embryo and adult cornea. There might be commonness of the roles of uPA and uPA R in epithelial tissue.

BACKGROUND:It has been found that cel ular repressor of E1A-stimulated genes (CREG) is a lysosomal protein binding directly to the mannose-6-phosphate (M6P)/insulin-like growth factor II receptor (IGFIIR) and depends on the interaction with M6P receptors for efficient delivery to lysosomes OBJECTIVE:To study the interactions between the exogenous CREG protein and cathepsins and M6P/IGFIIR and to confirm the effect of CREG protein on expression and distribution of M6P/IGFIIR. METHODS:Double-stained immunofluorescence and coimmunoprecipitation were applied to observe the interactions between the exogenous CREG protein and cathepsin B, cathepsin L and M6P/IGFIIR. Using gain-of-function and loss-of-function approaches, the effect of CREG on expression and distribution of M6P/IGFIIR were studied by western blot assay and immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Double-stained immunofluorescence and coimmunoprecipitation analyses confirmed the direct interactions between the exogenous CREG protein and cathepsin B, cathepsin L and M6P/IGFIIR. It was verified that CREG plays a critical role not in the expression but in the distribution of M6P/IGFIIR using gain-of-function and loss-of-function approaches. These findings provide evidence that exogenous CREG protein is located in lysosomes and has interactions with cathepsins and M6P/IGFIIR, also CREG plays a critical role in the distribution of M6P/IGFIIR.

Objective To investigate the surgical procedure selection for chronic pancreatitis.Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with chronic pancreatitis who were admitted to the Peking University First Hospital from January 2000 to August 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Thirty-eight patients were with or without pancreatic duct stone,and the dilation of the pancreatic duct was above 7 mm,44 patients were with common bile duct dilation,32 patients were with inflammatory mass in the head of the pancreas,and 3 patients were with splenomegaly and esophagogastric varices.Surgical procedures were selected according to the symptoms and results of imaging examination.The remission or recurrence of pain was judged according to the visual analog scales.Patients were followed up via out-patient examination,mail or phone call till December 2013.Results Choledochojejunostomy was done on 27 patients,Partington-Rochelle pancreaticojejunostomy on 24 patients,PartingtonRochelle pancreaticojejunostomy + choledochojejunostomy on 6 patients,pancreaticoduodenectomy on 7 patients,resection of the body and tail of the pancreas on 4 patients,Beger's procedure on 3 patients,splenectomy on 3 patients,Frey's procedure + fenestration of bile duct in the head of the pancreas on 3 patients,Frey's procedure on 2 patients,common bile duct exploration + T tube drainage on 1 patient.The remission rate of abdominal pain was 95.2％ (60/63).One patient died of abdominal infection and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome perioperatively.Three patients were complicated with abdominal infection,2 with pancreatic fistula,1 with biliary fistula and 1 with abdominal bleeding.All the complications were cured by conservative treatment.Seventy-nine patients were followed up,and the mean time of follow-up was 58.6 months (range,4-156 months).Thirty patients had recurrence or new onset of abdominal pain,and the recurrence rate was 38.0％ (30/79).Of the 32 patients with inflammatory mass in the head of the pancreas,17 received choledochojejunostomy,and the recurrence rate of abdominal pain was 9/17 ; the other 15 patients received pancreatoduodenectomy,Beger' procedure or Frey's procedure,and the recurrence rate of abdominal pain was 1/15.Of the 41 patients without inflammatory mass,10 received choledochojejunostomy,and the recurrence rate of abdominal pain was 7/10; 30 received PartingtonRochelle pancreaticojejunostomy,and the recurrence rate of abdominal pain was 33.3％ (10/30).Conclusions Complete drainage could relieve the symptoms for patients with pancreatic duct dilation.Surgical resection or combined surgical procedure is effective for the treatment of patients with inflammatory mass in the head of the pancreas.

ObjectiveTo analyze the underlying causes of postoperative gastrointestinal (CI)bleeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy and to discuss the strategies in diagnosis,prevention and management.MethodsThe clinical data of 331 patients who were admitted to the Surgical Department of the First Hospital,Peking University from Jan. 1998 to Jan. 2010 was retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe overall postoperative morbidity was 37.2 ％,with a bleeding complication rate of 6.7 ％,and a GI bleeding rate of 1.5％.For postoperative GI bleeding,the main bleeding sites were from the pancreaticointestinal anastomosis (40.0％) and the gastrointestinal anastomosis (20.0％). Embolotherapy using vascular intervention alone (20.0％),open abdominal operation following vascular interventional therapy (40.0 ％ ) and open abdominal operation alone (40.0 ％ ) were used to control GIbleeding.ConclusionsThe common bleeding sites in the GI tract were at the pancreaticointestinal anastomosis and the gastrointestinal anastomosis. The main procedures used to control bleeding were embolization using vascular interventional therapy,endoscopic therapy and open abdominal therapy.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the rational drug use of traditional TCM injection. METHODS:Medical re-cords of 792 patients receiving TCM injection were collected from Qingdao Municipal Hospital in the first quarter of 2014(before intervention)and 836 patients collected from the first quarter of 2015(after intervention),and then analyzed comparatively in re-spects of patient’s gender information,rationality of TCM injection,irrational drug use,ADR. RESULTS:After intervention,the use of TCM injection in the hospital became standard gradually,and rational rate increased from 42.42% to 69.98%. Irrational drug use as super-indication medication,overdose,inadequate solvent amount decreased;the ratio of TCM injection prescription cost per capita decreased from 16.64% to 12.59%;the incidence of ADR decreased from 6.94% to 2.51%,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). Except that the amount of Andrographolide for injection,Xuesaitong for injection,Zhengqing fengtongning injec-tion,Reduning injection increased,those of other TCM injection decreased. CONCLUSIONS:Pharmaceutical intervention mea-sures of clinical pharmacists are effective and feasible,and promote rational and standard use of TCM injection.
