OBJECTIVE:To prepare Xiaodouning cream and establish a method for its quality control. METHODS: The cream was prepared using glycerol monstearate as matrix with clindamycin hydrochloride and metronidazole as principle agents. The contents of the principal agents were determined by HPLC. The stability of the cream within 6 months was investigated. RESULTS: The cream was well-distributed and delicate with suitable viscidity,and it met the criteria of Chinese Pharmacopeia(2005 edition) in test and identification. The linear ranges of clindamycin hydrochloride and metronidazole were 2.342～11.71 ?g (r=0.999 8) and 0.97～4.85 ?g (r=0.999 8),respectively,with average recoveries at 98.3% (RSD=0.7%) and 100.3% (RSD=1.6%),respectively. In the stability test,no obvious change was noted for all indexes. CONCLUSION: The preparation technology of this cream is simple and feasible and its quality is stable and controllable.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of ambroxol on plasma concentration and pharmacokinetic parameters of roxithromycin when healthy volunteers received roxithromycin and ambroxol. METHODS: In double-period cross-over experiment, 24 healthy male volunteers received roxithromycin tablets or roxithromycin tablets combined with ambroxol tablets. Serial venous blood samples were collected at different time points after drug administration. Plasma concentrations of roxithromycin were measured by LC-MS. The pharmacokinetic parameters of roxithromycin were calculated and analyzed by variance analysis. Drug interaction was detected by 90% confidence interval. RESULTS: Main pharmacokinetic parameters of roxithromycin tablets and drug combination were as follows: tmax(1.67?0.32)h vs. (1.67?0.41)h; Cmax(10.26?2.82) mg?L-1 vs. (10.86?3.19) mg?L-1; AUC0～72(110.19?35.18) mg?h?L-1 vs. (113.42?38.72)mg?h?L-1; AUC0～∞(111.70?36.23) mg?h?L-1 vs. (115.04?39.98) mg?h?L-1. CONCLUSION:? Ambroxol has no effect on the plasma concentration and pharmacokinetics of roxithromycin in healthy volunteers.

Objective To investigate the protective mechanism of Interleukin 33 (IL-33) in preventing myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury in rats. Methods A rat model with myocardial I/R with 32the adult male SD rats , which were randomly divided into 4 groups: SO group , I/R group , IL-33 + I/R group , SB230580 + IL-33 + I/R group. The levels of LDH, CK, TNF-α, IL-6, HMGB1, Bcl-2, total caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3 and P-P38 were detected. Results After reperfusion, IL-33 significantly decreased the levels of serum LDH and CK and the expression of TNF-α, IL-6 , cleaved caspase-3 , but significantly increased the expressions of Bcl-2, p-P38 (P < 0.05). SB230580 attenuated the protective role of IL-33 on myocardial I/R in a certain degree. Conclusions IL-33 may prevent myocardial I/R injury via inhibiting inflammation and cardiocyteapoptosis by way of P38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Aim To purify Phospholipid-binding anticoagulation protein(PBAP) from Agkistrodon halys Brevicaudus Venom and study the biochemical characterization.Methods The Phospholipid-binding anticoagulation protein was purified from Agkistrodon halys Brevicaudus Venom by Cation ion exchange chromatography on CM Sephadex C-25 and negative ion exchange chromatography on DEAE Sepharose CL-6B,gel filtration on Sephacryl S-200 and Sephadex G-75 chromatography.Its anticoagulant activities in vitro were assayed by activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT);its molecular weight was calculated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE) and its isoelectric point was estimated by the isoelectric focusing electrophoresis.Binding experiments of anticoagulation protein to phospholipids vesicles were performed with thinlayer chromatography.Results A kind of protein was purified from Agkistrodon halys Brevicaudus Venom which was able to prolong APTT.The SDSPAGE showed that it was dimer and its molecular weight was 24.0?10~3 under non-reducing condition and 14.6?10~3 under reducing condition.The isoelectric point was pH 5.2 by the isoelectric focusing electrophoresis.Having arginine ester-hydrolyzing enzyme and binding Phospholipid activify,its effect on APTT was activity stronger with concentration increasing.Conclusion It is a successful method of the purification of Phospholipid-binding anticoagulation protein from the Agkistrodon halys Brevicaudus Venom.

Objective To investigate the changes of cardiac aldosterone and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in Sprague-dawley (SD) rats with chronic heart failure (CHF) induced by isoproterenol (ISO). Methods The SD rats were randomly divided into CHF group (n=9) and normal control(NC) group (n=10). The experimental CHF group was induced by subcutaneous injection of ISO, and the NC group received same dose injection of sodium chloride. The heart function was evaluated with both echocardiography and hemodynamics. The contents of aldosterone in both plasma and heart were assessed by radioimmunoassay. The expression of MR was measured by Western blot and immunohistochemistry staining. Results Compared with NC group, the heart function was decreased in CHF group, the left ventricular ejection fraction was (38.8%±4.0%) in CHF and(79. 4%±4.6%), in NC group. The maximal rate of increase of ventricular pressure (+dp/dtmax) was (7164.4±502.6) mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa)/s in CHF and (10199.5±462.9) mm Hg/s in NC group (both P＜0. 01 ). The contents of aldosterone both in plasma and heart were higher in CHF group than in NC group [(0.63±0.06)μg/L vs. (0.3±0.07) μg/L, (0.41±0.05) μg/kgvs. (0.08±0.01)μg/kg, both P＜0. 01]. The MR expression was increased in CHF group versus in NC group (P＜0.01). Conclusions The heart function is decreased in rats with CHF induced by ISO, which is similar to dilated cardiomyopathy. The higher levels of aldosterone both in circulation and in heart as and well as MR expression upregulation in heart may play important roles in the pathogenesis of CHF induced by ISO.
