Objective The article was to speed up the dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs, reduce the configuration time and improve the allocative efficiency by analysis on factors influencing dissolution and adoption of proper allocative approaches accord-ing to different characteristics of insaluble drugs. Methods 5 insaluable drugs were chosen for the study, which were ornithine as-partate, mezlocillin sodium and sulbactam sodium, teicoplanin, omeprazole sodium injection and imipenem and cilastatin sodium.The control group were allocated by routine configuration approach, while the experiment group were improved by increasing the amount of solvent, loosing the powder inside the bottle before configuration, reducing the bubble, adopting special solvent and increasing the dis-solution temperature.Observation and comparative experiment were made on two groups along with the timing from configuration to com-plete dissolution into clear transparent liquid. Results As to the average complete dissolution time of 5 drugs, significant difference was found between two groups([42±5]s vs [246±35]s, [3±1]min vs [30±3]min, [5±1]min vs [10±3]min, [5±3]min vs [10± 5]min, [2±1]min vs [10±1]min, P<0.05).Compared with the control group, the dissolution time of 5 drugs was cut down by 83%, 90%, 50%, 50%, 80%in experiment group. Conclusion Appropriate increase of solvent, loose powder, bubble reduction, special solvent and increased solution temperature contribute to shortening the dissolution time of insoluble drugs and improving the configura-tion efficiency of pharmacy intravenous admixture.

Background Oxidative damage plays an important role in pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration( AMD ),and its mechanism is the destroy of blood-retinal barrier.Müller cells is a primary component to stabilize the inner barrier of the blood-retina.Researches showed that epidermal growth factor(EGF) can promote the proliferation and migration of animal Müller cells,but less study was found in the effect of EGF on human Müller cells. Objective The present study was to investigate the effects of EGF on the proliferation and migration of human Müller cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods Human Müller cell line MIO-M1 cells were cultured and incubated,and cultured cells were identified using glial fibrillory acidic protein (GFAP),factor Ⅷ,α-smooth muscle actin( α-SMA ),keratin and S-100.Different concentrations of EGF( 0,1,10,30,100 mg/L)was added in freeserum DMEM,and the positive rate of the cells was calculated using 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine(BrdU) method.The cells were divided into EGF group,H2 O2 group,EGF + H2 O2 group,glucose oxidase ( GO ) group,GO + EGF group,EGF + LY294002+H2O2 group according to the different intervention,and the effects of LY294002 on the proliferation of Müller cells (A590 )were detected by colorimetric assay for cellular growth and survival( MTT assay).The scratch test of Müller cells was used to assess the influence of EGF(0,1,10,30,100 mg/L)on H2 O2-induced damage of human Müller cell.Western blot was used to detect the cell proliferation under the protection of EGF on co-cultured cells using LY294002 and H2O2 and the activation of Akt signal pathways. Results The proliferative rates of the cells were 28.0%,32.9%,39.0% in 10,30,100 mg/L EGF groups respectively and obviously higher than those in 0,1 mg/L EGF groups (24.5 %,26.2 % ).Under the H2O2 culture,GO culture,respectively,the A570 value of the Müller cell in high concentrations of EGF groups was significantly increased in comparison with lower concentrations EGF groups with the statistical significance among the groups( F=23.582,P=0.000).Compared with EGF+H2O2 group,the A570value of the Müller cells was lowed in EGF+LY294002+H2O2 group.The maximum migration rate of Müller cells was found in 10 mg/L EGF group.Western blot revealed that the presence of H2O2 reinforced the expression of Akt in Müller cells,however,pretreatment with 100 mg/L EGF antagonized the harmful effect of H2O2 on Müller cells.Meanwhile,pretreatment with EGF and LY294002 reduced the expression of Akt in Müller cells. Conclusions EGF can induce the proliferation and migration of human Müller cells with the strongest effect in 10 mg/L.100 mg/L exogenous EGF has a stronger protection to the Müiller cells against H2O2-induced cell damage by activating the PI3KAkt cell survival pathway.

BACKGROUND: The blood levels of specific markers of platelet activation, such as platelet granule membrane protein (GMP-140) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) are very low in healthy individuals, while the plasma levels of them in patients with cerebral infarction increase. Is the protection of brain hydrolysate injection correlated with the phenomenon?OBJECTIVE: In this study, the plasma levels of GMP-140 and TNF-α in patients with acute stroke were measured, the brain protection of brain protein hydrolysate injection on patients with ischemic stroke were investigated, and were compared with the therapeutic effect of compound danshen injection.DESIGN: It was designed for case study.SETTING: This study was conducted at the Medical Department of the General Hospital of Pingdingshan Coal Co. Ltd and the Neurology Department of the Second Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University.PARTICIPANTS: From January 2001 to October 2003, 144 inpatients with hypertension and acute stroke in the Medicine Department of the General Hospital of Pingdingshan Coal Co. Ltd were selected and divided into 2 groups, as experiment group containing 72 cases, 47 males and 25females, with an age from 42 to 90 and in average of (69±11) years old and control group containing 72 cases, 49 males and 23 females, with an age from 37 to 85 and in average of (68±10) years old.METHODS: All the patients in these two groups underwent oxygen inhalation therapy, antihypeetensive therapy, dehydration therapy and anticoagulation therapy. Patients in control group were coadministered 500 mL compound salvia miltiorrhiza injection QD once a day, with a 14-day course of therapy. Patients in experiment group were treated with 500 mL compound salvia miltiorrhiza injection QD and 20 mL protein hydrolysate European stroke scale (ESS), from 0 (worst possible health status) to 100(best possible health status), were used to evaluate the recovery status of (from 24 hours to 72 hours) and 3 weeks post-treatment, 5 mL blood samples were obtained from antecubital veins, then plasma levels of GMP-140and TNF-α were quantified using an RIA (radioimmunoassay) and the changes in neural function before and after brain protein hydrolysate injection were evaluated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Before treatment and at 3 weeks postwere quantified using an RIA.RESULTS: All the 144 patients entered the statistical analysis procedure.ESS were significantly higher than the pre-treatment scores [Experiment groups: 79.95±18.64 and 59.65±19.87; Control group: (74.66±15.88) and (61.25±18.68), (t=2.678-4.351, P < 0.01). The post-treatment scores of ESS in experiment group were higher than those in control group (t=2.016-2.158,groups, the post-treatment outcomes were significantly lower than the pre-treatment outcomes [Experiment group: (22.12±9.52) μg/L and (50.41±22.35) μg/L, (1.05±0.24) μg/L and (1.62±0.50) μg/L; Control group: (26.66±8.22) μg/L and (48.63±21.54) μg/L, (1.35±0.44) μg/L and (1.66±0.48) μg/L; (t=2.678-4.351, P < 0.001)]. And the post-treatment levels of the two markers were lower in experiment group than those in control group (t=2.016-2.158, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Brain protein hydrolysate injection can significantly decrease the plasma levels of GMP-140 and TNF-α in patients with acute stroke, and it is capable of increasing the ESS scores and improving the impaired neural functions greatly.
