OBJECTIVE: To study correlation between physical properties and compressibility and compactablility of Microcrystalline cellulose. METHODS: After determining the physical properties such as particle size distribution, moisture capacity, angle of repose, bulk density, tapped density, the powder was tableted by the Korsch XP1 at the same filling height, and data derived from heckle model, plasticity constant, cumulative elastic recovery, tensile strength and it's changes with time were evaluated. RESULTS: The physical properties of microcrystalline cellulose had great effect on its compactablility as well as cumulative elastic recovery out of die, but not on compressibility. And pressure applied correlated closely with changes of tensile strength in storage, which was intensified by the influence of water in powder on the particle size. CONCLUSION: Microcrystalline cellulose shows excellent compressibility, however, particle size reduction is able to decrease the compactability. Since the water in powder can increase particle size by changing internal structure of particles and plays a prerequisite role in lubrication and adherence, the variation of water content may weaken the compatability of microcrystalline cellulose and worsen the mechanical strength stability of tablets in storage.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction(HPV)and assess the underlying mechanism in rats.Methods Twenty male SD rats weighing 300-400 g were.anesthetizedwith intraperitoneal phenobarbital.Heart and lungs were removed after thoracotomy.Pulmonary.arterial rings 4 mmin length and 1.0-1.4 mm in diameter were prepared and suspended in Earl solution maintained at 37℃ with a pHof 7.40 and aerated with 20% O_2-5% CO_2-25% N_2.The rings were stimulated with phenylephrine(PE)10~(-6)mol?L~(-1) with different preloads(300,500,700,900,1 100 mg).The isometric tension of the arterial rings wasmeasured.The optimal preload was determined to be 900 mg which allowed best contractility.Hypoxia was inducedby aerating the solution with 95% N_2-5% CO_2 and the flow rate was adjusted to maintain PO_2 of the solution at40-20 mm Hg and pH at 7.40.HPV of the rings were recorded.Then propofol was added to achieve a finalconcentration of 1,3,10,30,100 ?mol?L~(-1) and HPV was again induced and the changes in HPV wererecorded.In addition the effects of propofol(10,30 ?mol?L~(-1))on vasoconstriction produced by KCI and PE werealso measured.Results The lower doses of propofol(10 ?mol?L~(-1))significantly inhibited HPV(P

Objective:To prepare the canine multivalence serum for emergent prevation and theatmentor canines infection disease.Methods:Selecting 20 healthy Kunming dog,which is more than one years old.The canines were immuned by regulary with Canine distemper virus(CDV),Canine parvovirus virus(CPV),Infectious canine hepatitis virus(ICHV),Canine coronavirus(CCV),Canine parainflu-enza virus(CPIV).The blood were draw in freedom germ from neck's artery at canines and then blood was centrifugate for isolating serum.To check antibody's tite, micro serum neutrolization(SN) and hemagglutination inhibition(HI) were used.Results:Canine multivalence serum is successfully preparation and good curative effects in clinic.Conclusion:Canine multivalence serum may be of great value in economics and society and contribute to curative disease.

Objective To investigate the expression of T cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain (TIM)-3 and its ligand Galectin-9 in the peripheral blood of initial systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)patients,and explore their effects on SLE.Methods The percentages of CD4+TIM-3+,CD8+TIM-3+cells from 33 SLE patients and 26 normal controls were detected by flow cytometry,and the Galectin-9 gene expression of PBMCs was determined by real-time PCR The SLE Disease Activity Index(SLEDAI),C3 level and lymphocyte count were evaluated.Mann-Whitney U test was used for independent samples analysis and Spearmen's test was used for correlation analysis.Results The percentages of CD4+TIM-3+ and CD8+TIM-3+ cells were markedly increased in SLE group than those of the control group(P<0.01).In particular,the CD4+TIM-3+,CD8+TIM-3+ level Was positively correlated with SLEDAI (r=0.517,P＜0.01;r=0.400,P＜0.05);but negatively correlated with C3(r=0.487,P＜0.05;r=0.395,P＜0.05).The Galectin-9 mRNA in SLE PBMCs was higher than that of the controls(P<0.05).Conclusion TIM-3-Galectin-9 pathway may be involved in T cell immune regulation of SLE,and is related to disease activity.

Objective To explore impact of high pulmonary blood flow on the content and metabolism of collagen in rats.Methods Thirty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into shunt group and control group.Rats in shunt group were subjected to an abdominal aorta-inferior vena cava shunt to create an animal model of high pulmonary blood flow.In control group,rats experienced the same expe-rimental processes except the shunting procedure.After 4 and 11 weeks of experiment,these changes of pulmonaryartery collagen Ⅰ,collagen Ⅲ,matrix metalloproteinase(MMP-13)and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP-1) protein expression of rat were investigated by immunohistochemistry.Results After 4 weeks and 11 weeks of shunt,the collagen Ⅰ,collagen Ⅲ,MMP-13 and TIMP-1 of pulmonary artery in rats of shunt group increased significantly compared with those of control group,respectively(all P

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for further development of Internet drug transaction services in China. METH-ODS:The data of online drugstores with top 20 approvals data and sales amount were collected bu the Internet,the normative man-agement was evaluated. Meanwhile,questionnaire was conducted to survey and analyze the cognition,buying drugs and correspond-ing requirements of some Shanghai citizens for Internet drug retail. RESULTS:By Jun. 12,2015,totally 307 retail chain drug-stores(online drugstores)had got the License of Internet Drugs Transaction,only 62 online drugstores(20.2%)were in full compli-ance with the normative management;the top 19 online drugstores supplied averagely 1 072±815 OTC medicines,including 259± 165 chemical drugs and 813 ± 650 Chinese traditional medicines,and the top 3 were jianke.com (3 658 species),J1.com (2 071 species)and 360 kad.com(1 523 species). Totally 216 questionnaires were sent out,and 183 were effectively received with effec-tive recovery of 84.7%. The 183 surveyed citizens showed high cognition in distinguishing the authenticity of online drugstores (75.4%) and the authenticity of drugs (67.1%),but low cognition in online drugstore opening qualifications and Internet selling drugs;only 22.4% had the experience of buying drugs online,the degree of satisfaction towards online shopping,from the highest to the lowest,were drug price(62.5%),professional consultation of pharmacists(50.0%),variety of drugs(45.0%),quality of drugs(37.5%),delivery time(35.0%),etc.;the most probably purchased medicine category were vitamins and minerals(63.9%) and medicines for common diseases(40.4%). CONCLUSIONS:Currently the demands and confidence of online drugs shopping of Shanghai citizens are still scarce. Though the access of retailing prescription drugs would spur the Internet drug business,the condi-tion is still immature. It is suggested to sell prescription drugs in a limited way and improve their access threshold,promote Medi-care settlement to multi-faceted promote the orderly development of Internet drug transaction services.
