The purpose of this study is to evaluate the interaction effects of In-Chen-How (Artemisia capillaries Thunb.) on the pharmacokinetics of acetaminophen and on liver microsomal cytochrome P450 enzyme activity in rats. The rats were divided into control group (n=8) without In-Chen-How and the pretreated group (n=8) administered with In-Chen-How (approximately 1.0 mL·kg-1, according to weight) for 5 consecutive days. Rats in the control group received water simultaneously. Each rat was then given acetaminophen. The pharmacokinetic parameters of acetaminophen of the two groups were significantly different. In the In-Chen-How pretreated group, the maximum concentration of acetaminophen and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve were reduced about 58.4%, 56.7% and 55.4%. To further explain the results, liver microsomal suspensions were obtained from rats that were randomly divided into control and In-Chen-How pretreated group. The levels of CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 in hepatic microsomal protein from pretreated group were increased as compared to that from the control group. It indicated that In-Chen-How can stimulate the activity of CYP isozymes. The changes in the pharmacokinetics of acetaminophen resulting from the administration of In-Chen-How are related to an increase in metabolic activity of CYP1A2 and CYP2E1.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To observe the changes of perilipin and adipose differentiation-related protein ( ADRP) du-ring the development of diabetes mellitus and to explore the effect of perilipin and ADRP on abnormal glucose metabolism with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ( NAFLD) .METHODS:The rat model of impaired glucose tolerance ( IGT) was in-duced by feeding high-fat diet, and the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) model was induced by feeding high-fat diet for 4 weeks and intraperitoneally injecting streptozotocin.The morphological change of the liver tissue was observed under optical microscope.The serum contents of perilipin and ADRP were measured by ELISA.The mRNA expression of perilipin and ADRP in the liver tissues was detected by real-time PCR.The protein expression of ADRP in the liver tissues was deter-mined by Western blotting.RESULTS:HE staining showed steatosis in the liver of the rats in IGT group was more serious than that in T2DM group.The biochemical and the pathological processes of rat models were consistent with the clinical feature of related diseases.The serum content of perilipin had no difference among various groups.The mRNA expression of perilipin in IGT group and T2DM group was significantly higher than that in control group.Compared with IGT group, the mRNA expression of perilipin in T2DM group was significantly increased.The serum content of ADRP in T2DM group was significantly lower than that in control group.The mRNA and protein expression of ADRP in model groups was signifi-cantly lower than that in control group.Compared with IGT group, the mRNA expression of ADRP in T2DM group was sig-nificantly reduced.CONCLUSION: The serum content of ADRP plays a role in the development and progression of T2DM.It is negatively correlated with HOMA-IR.NAFLD occurs during progression of abnormal glucose metabolism in-duced by feeding high-fat diet.The development of abnormal glucose metabolism with NAFLD is probably related to the in-creased expression of perilipin and the reduced expression of ADRP.

Objective To investigate nutrition status and dyspnea in the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) between GOLD Ⅱ and GoLD Ⅲ, and test the evaluative validity of disease status by GOLD classification of COPD. Methods Thirty patients with clinically stable COPD were recruited, including 15 patients of GOLD Ⅱ of COPD and 15 patients of GOLD Ⅲ of COPD. Body mass index (BMI), triceps skin-fold thickness (TSF), serum albumin (Alb), and partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2) were measured in each patient. Dyspnea was assessed by the Borg Scale (BS). Exercise stress test was taken by incremental exercise test. Results BMI was significantly lower in the patients of GOLD Ⅲ than that in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ[(19±5 ) kg/m2 vs (23±3) kg/m2,p < 0.05]. TSF was significantly reduced in the patients of GOLD Ⅲ than that in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ[ (8±3) mm vs(13±5) mm, P < 0.01]. Alia in the patients of GOLD Ⅲ was significantly decreased than that in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ [(32±7) g/L vs (36±6) g/L, P <0.05]. The difference of PaO2 between the patients of GOLD Ⅲ and the patients of GOLD Ⅱ was significant [(72±9) nun Hg (1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa ) vs (78±8) nun Hg, P < 0.01], and the significant difference of BS was found between the patients of GOLD Ⅲ and the patients of GOLD Ⅱ( 5.0±2.0) grades vs (3.0±1.0) grades, P <0.05 ]. In addition, 12 patients in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ took the exercise stress test and 8 patients were found anaerobic threshold (AT), 5 patients in the patients of GOLD Ⅲ took the exercise stress teat and no AT was found. Conclusions The parameters of BMI, TSF, Alb and PaO2 are significantly reduced in the patients of GOLD Ⅲ than those in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ. In the patients of GOLD Ⅲ, BS is higher than that in the patients of GOLD Ⅱ and AT is difficult to obtain, suggesting more severe in degree of impairment. GOLD classification of COPD reflects the disease stares and prognosis in the patients with COPD, as a valuable parameter in clinical practice.
