OBJECTIVE:To establish an HPLC method for the content determination of oxaliplatin in Oxaliplatin liposome. METHODS:The separation was performed on Hypersil C18(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) column with methanol-water(5 ∶ 95,V/V) as mobile phase at flow rate of 1.0 mL?min-1. The detection wavelength was set at 250 nm and column temperature was 30 ℃. RESULTS:The linear range of oxaliplatin was 12.2～122.0 ?g.mL-1(n=5,r=0.999 9) with an average recovery of 98.58%(RSD=1.83%). The limit of detection(LOD) was 97.6 ng?mL-1. CONCLUSION:The method is simple,sensitive and accurate for the content determination of oxaliplatin in Oxaliplatin liposome.

Objective To examine whether ethanol modulates the intracellular processes involved in the secretion of IL-1α,and then exert a protective effect against coronary heart disease. Methods THP-1 cells in human were cultured for 2-3 generations , and put in PMF for 72 h to induce THP-1 into macrophage. ELISA was applied to detect effects for secretion of IL-1α by LPS, cholesterol and ethanol. In the light of ELISA re-sults, western blot was applied to detect the effects of ethanol on caspase-1 and NLRP3. Results Compared with the control group, the secretion of IL-1α in LPS group and LPS + CHOL group increased. Compared withLPS + CHOL group, the concentration of IL -1α in LPS + CHOL + etha group significantly decrease(P < 0.01). The results of western blot showed that ethanol significantly inhibited caspase-1 and NLRP3 activation. Conclu-sion Ethanol can inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages , which may represent a biological pathway underlying the protective effect of moderate alcohol consumption on coronary heart disease.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism by which indomethacin inhibits the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA) in rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats underwent intraluminal perfusion of the abdominal aorta with 50 units of porcine pancreatic elastase followed by treatment with indomethacin (1.6 mg/d) subcutaneously (n=8) for 7 d or with normal saline(NS,n=8).Aortic wall elastin and collagen concentrations were measured with an imaging analysis system, and fixed aortic tissues were examined by light microscopy for inflammation. The expression of MMP-9 in aortic tissues was observed with immunohistochemistry technique. Results: AAAs developed in all NS treated rats and in none of indomethacin treated rats on d 7(P

BACKGROUND:Corneal stromal fibroblasts have been shown to express interleukin-8 in the stimulation of lipopolysaccharide. Different reactions of fibroblasts to lipoprotein or other inflammatory mediators may constitute different characteristics of different tissues in the inflammatory response. OBJECTIVE:To observe the inhibitory effect of IKK-2 receptor blocker TPCA-1 on human corneal stromal fibroblasts to secrete inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and cel adhesion molecules under the stimulation of lipopolysaccharide and its signal transduction pathway, to compare with dexamethasone, and to explore alternative or synergistic effects after their combination. METHODS:This study measured the secretion of interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8 from cultured human corneal stromal fibroblasts under the action of basic state and lipopolysaccharide, and their changes after the intervention with IKK-2 receptor blocker TPCA-1 and dexamethasone. We also detected expression level of intercelular adhesion molecule-1 and interleukin-6 in cel surface, and verified the changes in expression levels of intercelular adhesion molecule-1, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8 from mRNA level, as wel as examined the expression of nuclear factor kappa B under above conditions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which tetracycline inhibits the development of experimental abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).MethodsMale Wistar rats underwent intraluminal perfusion of the abdominal aorta with 50 units of porcine pancreatic elastase followed by treatment for 14 days with tetracycline (25?mg/day, subcutaneously; n=10) or with NS alone (n=10). Aortic wall elastin and collagen concentrations were measured with image analysis system and fixed aortic tissues were examined by light microscopy for inflammation. The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were observed in aortic tissues using immunohistochemistry and molecular in situ histohybridization technique. Results AAAs developed in all NS-treated rats, and only 1/10 of tetracycline-treated rats at 14 days(P

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Ezrin in skeletal muscle of myopathy patients. Methods The skeletal muscle specimens with obviously regenerating muscle fibers were obtained from 9 patients with pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy (DMD) and 5 patients with polymyositis (PM). Then frozen serial sections were made and the sections were treated with HE stain, immunohistochemistry stains including anti-Ezrin and anti-Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) monoclonal antibodies. The pathological changes and the expression of Ezrin were observed. Results The small regenerating fibers, central location of nucelus and basophilia endochylema were observed under HE stain both in the patients with DMD and PM. Anachromasis of anti-NCAM monoclonal immunohistochemistry stain was found in the regenerating muscle fibers. Positive Ezrin expression was also detected in the regenerating fibers. However, this expression tapered gradually as the mature process of skeletal muscle. The expression of Ezrin was negative in the mature fibers. Ezrin expressed in the myoblasts. Conclusions Ezrin may be closely related to the regenerating skeletal muscle fibers of DMD and PM patients.
