OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for determining the entrapment efficiency of gemcitabine hydrochloride liposomes(GHL).METHODS: The liposome and the free gemcitabine hydrochloride were separated by ultrafiltration,and the content of free gemcitabine hydrochloride was determined by HPLC.The entrapment efficiency of gemcitabine hydrochloride liposomes was computed as well.RESULTS: The recovery rate in ultrafiltration methods was 97.8%～100.1% for blank substance versus 99.0%～100.1% for sample.The linear range of gemcitabine hydrochloride was 1.0～80.0 mg?L-1(r=0.999 3) and its average recovery rate was 98.7～101.2%,and its inter-day and intra-day RSD were all less than 3% and its average entrapment efficiency was 81.21%.CONCLUSION: The method is simple,accurate and applicable for the determination of the entrapment efficiency of gemcitabine hydrochloride liposomes.

Objective To investigate therapeutic effects of transurethral ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy(TUPL).Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 320 cases of ureteral calculus treated with TUPL from September 2002 to August 2005.A Wolf F9.8 rigid ureteroscope and an EMS pneumatic ballistic lithotriptor were used.The probe was 0.8 mm or 1.0 mm in diameter.The pulse settings was 200~300 kPa.The fragmentation was conducted with single or multiple episode of treatment.Results The stone was pushed back to the renal pelvis in 6 cases and a conversion to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy(ESWL) was needed.The insertion of the ureteroscope was failed in 5 cases and a conversion to open surgery was required.The TUPL time was 2~10 min(mean,5.5 min) and the intraoperative blood loss was 3~15 ml(mean,7 ml).The stones were successfully fragmented on one session in 309 cases,the success rate being 96.6%(309/320).The length of postoperative hospital stay was 3~7 d(mean,4.5 d).There were 24 cases of mucosal injury of the ureter and 4 cases of false passage,all of which were cured with double-J catheter indwelling for 1 month.Follow-up examinations for 1~10 months(mean,4 months) showed stone clearance within 1 month and no ureteral stenosis or urinary infection.Conclusions Transurethral ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy for the treatment of ureteral calculus is safe and effective.

Objective To prepare a harmine hydrochloride liposome formulation with high encapsulation efficiency. Methods Preformulation investigation was carried out to obtain the drug physicochemical properties such as solubility and lgD in buffers of different pH value. Harmine hydrochloride was encapsulated into liposomes by active loading method. Encapsulation efficiency of liposomes was determined after the free drug was separated from liposome by ultrafiltration. The influence factors on the encapsulation efficiency including drug-lipid weight ratio, incubation temperature, pH value of external water phase were investigated. Results As the pH value increasing, the solubility of harmine hydrochloride was decreased, while the apparent oil-water distribution coefficient was increased. By active loading method, the encapsulation efficiency could be over 80% when the drug to lipid weight ratio was under 1∶5. The pH gradient between intervesicle and intravesicle obviously influenced the encapsulation efficiency, while incubation temperature had little effect on encapsulation efficiency. Conclusion Active loading is suitable for preparing harmine hydrochloride liposome with high encapsulation efficiency.

Objective To investigate the preventive effects of midazolam and propofol on liver against hypoxia/reoxgenation(H/R) injury in rats.Methods Twenty-four Wistar rats of both sexes weighing 200-250g were randomized into four groups:control group(group A),hypoxia/reoxygenation(group B),H/R + midazolam(group C) and H/R + propofol(group D).The 8-iso-prostaglandin F2?(8-iso-PGF2?) levels in the hepatic tissue were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The contents of nitric oxide(NO) and the activity of nitric-oxide synthase(NOS) in hepatic tissue were determined by biochemistry methods.Results After hypoxia and reoxgenation injury in rats,the 8-iso-PGF2? level of hepatic tissue in group B was significantly higher than that in group A(P

Objective To discuss the clinical application value of omeprazole and rabeprazole quadruple therapy on Helicobacter pylori associated peptic ulcer.Methods 360 patients with Helicobacter pylori associated peptic ulcer were selected.They were divided into two groups randomly.The rabeprazole group (180 cases) was treated with rabeprazole with quadruple therapy based,omeprazole group (180 cases) was treated with omeprazole quadruple therapy of short acting as the foundation,to observe and record the two groups of patients with clinical curative effect,the healing rate of ulcer,Helicobacter pylori eradication rate,histopathology and treatment of gastric mucosa during adverse reaction condition.Results The cure rate of rabeprazole group was significantly higher than that of omeprazole group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared the two groups before treatment,upper abdominal pain,abdominal discomfort,belching symptoms,no significant difference,the two groups after treatment in patients with upper abdominal pain,abdominal discomfort and belching percentage of patients decreased,and Rebela was the proportion of patients with lower group (P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the rabeprazole group of ulcer healing rate 90.5％ (163/180),Helicobacter pylori eradication rate was 87.8％ (158/180),omeprazole group of ulcer healing rate was 70.5％ (127/180),Helicobacter pylori eradication rate was 72.2％ (130/180).The rabeprazole group of the healing rate of ulcer and Helicobacter pylori eradication rate were higher (P ＜ 0.05).Before treatment,there was no significant difference on gastric mucosal histopathological score between two groups.After treatment,two groups of gastric mucosa pathological score were decreased (P ＜ 0.05),no difference between the two groups.During the treatment,there was no significant difference on adverse reactions between two groups.Conclusion Rabeprazole with short acting quadruple therapy can significantly treat Helicobacter pylori causes,promote gastric mucosa repair,improve the clinical symptoms of peptic ulcer,the medication is safe,it is worthy of clinical use.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is endangering human health seriously now. We had reviewed some typical animal model which had at least one OSAS character of intermittent hypoxia and/or hypercapnia, upper airway obstruction and sleep structure disorder. However, all of these models could not simulate clinical and pathological features of OSAS completely. Establishing a suitable animal model to study OSAS and related diseases is very important.
