OBJECTIVE:To study the anti-oxidative effects of spirulina kinase (SPK) in vitro. METHODS:The methods of phenanthroine-Fe2+ oxidation method,DPPH and auto-oxidation of pyrogallol were used to measure the effects of different concen-trations of SPK on scavenging hydroxyl (OH-) free radical,DPPH free radical and superoxide anion (O2-) free radical;IC50 of SPK was calculated. Prussian blue reaction was used to determine total reducing ability(by absorbance)of different concentrations of SPK to Fe3+. Vitamin C(VC)was used as positive control in above trials. RESULTS:SPK could eliminate the OH-free radical, DPPH free radical and O2- free radical in concentration-dependant manner,and the maximum elimination rate of SPK to OH- free radical and DPPH free radical were 86.82% and 78.98%(IC50 were 54.31,0.636 g/L),which were higher than VC (64.77%, 73.49%). The maximum elimination rate of SPK to O2- free radical was 78.31%(IC50 was 3.918 g/L),which was lower than VC (94.14%). In reducing ability test,SPK improved absorbance in reducing ability test system,and maximum absorbance was simi-lar to VC in concentration-dependant manner. CONCLUSIONS:SPK has obvious anti-oxidant activities in vitro.

Objective In this study ,the effect of Spirulina kinase(SPK)on hemorheology ,platelet aggregation and cAMP in acute blood stasis rats model were investigated .Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group ,model group ,aspirin group and the high and low dose of SPK groups .All treatments were performed by gavage once a day for 7 days .Sub-cutaneous injection of adrenalin combined with ice water bath were used to establish the acute blood stasis rat model .The whole blood viscosity ,plasma viscosity ,red blood cell hematocrit (Hct) ,erythrocyte aggregation index (EAI) ,red blood cell deformation index(DI)anderythrocyterigidityindex(ERI)weredetectedbyautomaticbloodflow speedanalyzer .Meanwhile,thelevelofcAMP was detected by ELISA method .Rat platelet aggregation induced by ADP and the maximum aggregation rate was measured by tur-bidimetry .Results Results showed that SPK could significantly decrease the whole blood viscosity ,plasma viscosity ,Hct ,EAI and platelet aggregation rate ,increase the level of cAMP compared with model group(P<0 .05) ,but had no effect on DI and ERI .Con-clusion SPK can markedly improve the abnormal changes of hemorheology in acute blood stasis rats and inhibit the platelet aggregation .

Objective:To compare the test methods for aluminum content determination in vaccines by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(ICP-MS),inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry(ICP-OES)and titration of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020.Methods:The pre-treatment procedures,linearity,repeatability,accuracy,quantification limit,detection limit and sample determination results of the three methods were compared and analyzed by methodological verification and sample testing.Results:There was a good linear relationship of ICP-OES in the concentration range of 1-20μg·mL-1 aluminum content,r=0.9999.Aluminum content in 6 types of vaccines was in the range of 99%-104.6%,and RSDs were lower than 3%(n=9).There was a good linear relationship of ICP-MS in the concentration range of 2.5-80ng·mL-1(r=0.999).Aluminum content in 6 types of vaccines were in the range of 99.4%-108.9%,and RSDs were lower than 8%(n=9).There was no significant difference between the three methods in the determination of aluminum content in vaccines,and RSDs were lower than 10%.Conclusion:Both ICP-MS and ICP-OES methods can be used for the determination of alu-minum content in aluminum adjuvant vaccine.Both detection methods are simple,fast and accurate.ICP-OES has lower instrument costs and is easier to promote in the laboratory.
