OBJECTIVE:To prepare Stemoninine orally disintegrating tablets,and to optimize its formulation and preparation technology. METHODS:Direct powder compression method was used to prepare Stemoninine orally disintegrating tablets. Using material angle of repose,disintegration time and taste evaluation as index,single factor test was used to screen several factors as bulking agent,disintegrating agent,glidant and flavoring agent;using disintegration time as index,L9(34) orthogonal test was used to optimize the formulation with ratio of MCC+mannitol,PVPP,silica powder and aspartame+stevia as factors. Validation test was also conducted. RESULTS:Optimized formulation was that MCC+mannitol(1∶1)was 50%,PVPP was 20%,silica powder was 2% and aspartame+stevia(10∶1)was 7%. 3 batches of prepared Stemoninine orally disintegrating tablets were smooth in sur-face and good in taste;their disintegrating time was(22.6±2.1)s,and weight variation,hardness,contents were within the speci-fied range (all RSD≤0.97%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS:The formulation and technology of Stemoninine orally disintegrating tab-lets are reasonable,and the quality indexes are all in line with the requirements of orally disintegrating tablets.

Objective To analysis the levels of serum homocysteine (Hcy)and erythropoietin (EPO)levels in patients with ischemic stroke and their relationship with carotid atherosclerosis.Methods The patients with ischemic stroke admitted be-tween January 1,2013 and July 31,2016 were selected as the subjects.Sera test of Hcy,EPO level,and then through the Doppler probe carotid artery method to check the degree of carotid atherosclerosis in all patients,and the use of quantitative records,according to set diagnostic criteria for classification,the use of grading results with the same type of Hcy,EPO lev-els of data analysis to determine the relationship between the two.Results Doppler exploration in 142 patients showed nor-mal carotid intima-media thickness in 34 patients,carotid intima-media thickening in 56 patients,and carotid plaques in 52 pa-tients.After analysis of variance (F=59.64,78.29,P<0.05),and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05),and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant.The data between any two groups were also statistically significant differences.108 patients with different levels of carotid atherosclerosis were graded into 47 of grade 1,34 of grade 2,and 27 of grade 3,with the same type in the plasma of different grades (F=78.39,48.61, P<0.05).After the qtest,there were no significant differences in the levels of Hcy and EPO.Data were also statistically dif-ferent between groups.Conclusion Serum homocysteine (Hcy)and erythropoietin (EPO)were associated with ischemic stroke and were associated with carotid atherosclerosis.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the mRNA and protein expressions of NIX and the pulmonary alveolus apoptosis following severe acute lung injury (ALI).Methods Rat models of severe collision injury on the chest were built.The mRNA and protein expressions of NIX in the alveolar cells at 6,12,24,48,72 and 96 hours after injury were detected using immunohistochemistry,immunoblotting and RT-PCR.Meanwhile,apoptosis of the alveolar cells was checked at different time points with Tunel assay.ResultsThe protein expression of NIX in the alveolar cells was observed both in experimental and control groups,which increased at 6 h post injury,peaked at 48 h and then declined till approaching the pre-injury level at 96 h.In the meantime,NIX showed a high expression both in the vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and the renal interstitial fibroblasts.The apoptosis of alveolar cells mainly presented in bronchi,blood vessel endothelium (BVE) and alveolar epithelium at 24 h post injury.The post-injury apoptosis rate of the alveolar cells was significantly higher than the pre-injury rate ( P ＜ 0.01 ),which reached the peak at 72 h and then decreased gradually.The changes of NIX protein in lung tissue showed a positive correlation with the apoptosis rate of alveolar cells after injury (r =0.303,P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsThe up-regulated expression of NIX takes part in the pathophysiological process of apoptosis of the alveolar cells and shows consistency with the apoptosis rate change of the alveolar cells,as may be the molecular basis for apoptosis of the alveolar cells after ALI.

astaxanthin is an effective antioxidant and natural pigment which has wide application. Phaffia rhodozyma is a good source of astaxantin, but wild strain has limited use in industry because of low production level of astaxanthin. Several mutants of Phaffia rhodozyma were obtained by exerting mutagen N-methyl-N-nitro-N -nitrosoguanidine. The growth curve suggested that pigments were mainly produced in the middle and latter periods of log phase. The pigments were extracted from Phaffia rhodozyma and analysed by esterification, thin layer chromatography and absorption spectrometry. It was proved that astaxanthin, astaxanthin diester and ?-carotene were the major components of the pigments produced by Phaffia rhodozyma. We also studied the pigments producing phase of Phaffia rhodozyma. and founded that astaxanthin was stable to light under butylated hydroxytoluene coexistance.
