AIM:To apply improved quality evaluation method for improving current quality criteria of Fufang Danshen products. METHODS:Considering both hydrophilic and lipophilic active components-danshensu,protocatechuic aldehyde,salvianolic acid B,cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA were selected as five markers. A HPLC method was developed to simultaneously determine their contents,which were used to compare the products from different companies,and different batches from the same company. Similarity factor method was used to evaluate the similarities of in-vitro dissolution profiles. Moreover,accelerated and long-term stability tests were performed to predict the shelf-life of Fufang Danshen products. RESULTS:All of the Fufang Danshen products passed the content requirements of Chinese Pharmacopeia. However,the content variations of the hydrophilic components were much higher than those of the lipophilic components. In dissolution tests,most of the hydrophilic components were dissolved completely while all of the lipophilic components could not be detected. The f2 values showed that there were no similar dissolution profiles among different brands of Fufang Danshen products. The contents of five markers degraded compatible with first-order kinetics processes in both the accelerated and long-term stability tests. The predicted shelf-life of Fufang Danshen products were shorter than those labelled on the products. CONCLUSION:It is suggested that more markers with defined content range instead of lower content limit are required for better control of Fufang Danshen products. Dissolution and stability tests need to be added into the quality control criteria in the Chinese Pharmacopeia.

Objective To investigate the safety and therapeutic effects ot a novel multi-layer flat-plate bioartificial liver (BAL) for patients with liver failure.Methods Thirty-eight patients with liver failure from Dec.2010 to Dec.2011 were treated with a novel BAL based on multi-layer flatplate bioreactor and the co-cultured cells of the porcine hepatocytes and mesenchymal stem cells.A total of 48 treatments was performed,4 h each time.The clinical signs and symptoms,liver function,ammonia,coagulation function and complete blood count were evaluated before,during and after the treatment.DNA in the collected PBMCs was extracted for PCR with PERV specific primers and the porcine specific primer Sus scrofa cytochrome B.The RT activity was detected as well.Levels of xenoantibodies (IgG,IgM) were determined by using ELISA kit. Titers of complement were quantified by CH50 kit.Results All treatment procedures were completed successfully without any adverse reaction. All samples presented negative PERV DNA and RT activity. The levels of antibodies were similar before and after treatment.Treatment was associated with a temporary decline in levels of complement,and then the levels were recovered quickly.The clinical symptoms such as acratia,anorexia and abdominal distension were improved.The stage of hepatic encephalopathy in 16 patients was decreased. The liver function and ammonia was reduced disproportionately. Seven patients in all were bridged to liver transplantation,2 patients died and 2 patients gave up the treatment,and the others were turned better.After the outcome judgment according to the standard developed by the Artificial Liver Group,and Chinese Association of Infectious and Parasitic Diseases,there were 9 patients with clinical healing,25 patients with improvement and 4 patients with no effect,and the cure-improvement rate was 89.5%.Conclusion The novel multi-layer flat-plate BAL could be used as a safe and effective therapy for patients with liver failure.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of dual-kidney transplantation from infant donors to adult recipients.Methods:From December 2012 to November 2020 in Organ Transplant Center First Affiliated Hospital Sun Yat-sen University, rertrospective reviews were conducted for clinical data of 25 pairs of infant donors and adult recipients. The survival rates were calculated for both recipients and transplanted kidneys at Year 1/3/5 post-transplantation. And the postoperative recovery status and the postoperative incidence of adverse events of recipients were observed.Results:The survival rates of recipients were all 95.8% at Year 1/3/5 and those of transplanted kidney and dealth-cancelling transplanted kidney all 87.2%. One case died due to acute inferior-wall cardiac infarction while three others lost renal functions for vascular thrombosis, ureteral stenosis and urinary fistula. Except for loss of renal function and death, the postoperative estimated golmerular fitration rate was (99.35±21.78), (103.11±29.20) and (114.99±28.55) ml/(min·1.73 m 2) at Year 1/2/3 respectively. Conclusions:Selecting proper recipients, standardizing donor acquisition and surgical procedures and strengthening perioperative managements may expand the donor pool. The overall outcomes are excellent for adult recipients with dual-kidney transplantation from donations after infants' death.
