AIM:To optimize formulation of Xiao'er Magan Orally Disintegrating Tablet by central composite design-response surface methodology. METHODS:By two factors and five levels central composite design,independent variables were the proportion of optimized microcrystalline cellulose 50 and mannitol and the pressure,while disintegrating time and tensile strength were dependent variables. Binary linear and quadratic models were used to estimate the relationship between the dependent and the indepedent variables,and to delineate response surface method and overlay contour plots in order to select the optimal formulations. RESULTS:The binomial regression equation were TS =0. 096 88X1 + 0. 027 6X1X2(r = 0. 759),DT = 9. 845 4X1 -63. 196X2 + 40. 092 9X22 (r = 0. 838) which indicated the quantitative relationship between the factors and the evaluation indexes was characterized. The optimal formulation were the ratio of microcrystalline cellulose 50 and mannitol in the range of 0. 35 and 0. 6,and the pressure was in the range of 6 and 8 KN. CONCLUSION:The optimized formulation validation is close to the estimated value,indicating that the method has a good predictability and reliability.

BACKGROUND:Under certain conditions, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can be differentiated into hepatocytes, which are an important source of liver cels. Moreover, multiple factors can be involved in this induced differentiation process. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the inducible effect of cholestatic serum on the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into hepatocytes. METHODS:Cholestatic animal model was prepared in rats to extract cholestatic serum. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels isolated from rats were divided into three groups and cultured in serum-free hepatocyte medium, serum-free hepatocyte medium plus cholestatic serum, serum-free hepatocyte medium plus normal serum, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The positive expression of alpha fetoprotein and keratin 18 and mass concentration of albumin were significantly higher in the serum-free hepatocyte medium plus cholestatic serum group than the other two groups (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that cholestatic serum has a certain inducible role in the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into hepatocytes.

Arsenic trioxide albumin microspheres (As2O3-BSA-NS) were prepared by using methods of chemical cross-linking. The desirability function (DF), calculated according to the size (<1 microm) distribution, drug loading and drug trapping efficiency, was introduced as a total index for the microspheres formulation. Four factors, inculding W/O ratio, decentralization speed, BSA concentration and stirring stabilization time, were selected and arranged in an orthogonal experimental table. The release characteristic was studied by the drug release experiment in vitro. The four factors affected DF differently. Decentralization speed behaved as the maximum (P<0.01), followed by BSA concentration (P<0.05) and the W/O ratio dose (P<0.05). Stirring stabilization time did not influence DF (P>0.05). The release experiment in vitro showed that As2O3 in As2O3-BSA-NS was released more slower than pure As2O3. It was concluded that regular As2O3-BSA-NS may be prepared by the methods of chemical cross-linking, which was optimized by orthogonal experimental analysis of different factors, and the microspheres can release As2O3 slowly.

This study was aimed to explore the antitumor effect of volatile oil of X ihuang pill and its immune mecha-nism in order to screen the antitumor active site of Xihuang pill. Among 70 female Wistar rats, 10 rats were random-ly selected as the blank control group; and the other 60 rats was used in the establishment of walker 256 breast can-cer cell tumor-bearing rat models. The model rats were randomly divided into the negative control group (model group), high-dose volatile oil group, middle-dose volatile oil group, low-dose volatile oil group, high-dose Xihuang pill group, and lentinan group (positive control group), with 10 rats in each group. The intragastric administration was given twice a day for 14 days. Blood was taken from the abdominal aorta. Tumor tissues was removed and weighed to calculate the tumor inhibitory rate. ELISA method was used to detect the level of IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ and TGF-β in peripheral blood. The flow cytometry was used to detect the content of CD3+ T cell, CD4+ T cell, CD8+ T cell, and B7-1 cell (CD80). The results showed that the tumor inhibitory rates of volatile oil of high-dose group and middle-dose group were 28.4% and 24.1%, respectively. Compared with the model group, the average level of IL-2 and IFN-γ of volatile oil of high-dose group and middle-dose group and CD3+ T cell, CD8+ T cell, B7-1 cell con-tent were obviously increased (P< 0.05). It was concluded that volatile oil of Xihuang pill had certain antitumor ef-fect, which was one of the antitumor active sites of Xihuang pill. The volatile oil of Xihuang pill upregulates the lev-els of IL-2 and IFN-γ, as well as the contents of CD3+ T cell, CD8+ T cell, B7-1 cell in order to increase the im-mune clearance function of tumor-bearing rats.
