OBJECTIVE To establish a method for determining the contents of clopidogrel(CLP),clopidogrel carboxylate(CLP-C),clopidogrel acyl-β-D-glucuronide(CLP-G)and contents of clopidogrel active metabolite(CAM)in rat plasma,and to investigate their in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics.METHODS The Shisedo CAPCELL ADME column was used with a mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile(both containing 0.1%formic acid)in a gradient elution.The flow rate was 0.4 mL/min,and the column temperature was maintained at 20℃.The injection volume was 2 μL.The analysis was performed in positive ion mode using electrospray ionization with multiple reaction monitoring.The ion pairs for quantitative analysis were m/z 322.1→211.9(for CLP),m/z 308.1→197.9(for CLP-C),m/z 322.1→154.8(for CLP-G),m/z 504.1→154.9[for racemic CAM derivative(CAMD)].Six rats were administered a single intragastric dose of CLP(10 mg/kg).Blood samples were collected before medication and at 0.08,0.33,0.66,1,2,4,6,10,23 and 35 hours after medication.The established method was used to detect the serum contents of various components in rats.Pharmacokinetic parameters were then calculated using WinNonlin 6.1 software.RESULTS The linear ranges for CLP,CLP-C and CAMD were 0.08-20.00,205.00-8 000.00,and 0.04-25.00 ng/mL,respectively(r≥0.990).The relative standard deviations for both intra-day and inter-day precision tests were all less than 15%,and the relative errors for accuracy ranged from-11.68%to 14.40%.The coefficients of variation for the matrix factors were all less than 15%,meeting the requirements for bioanalytical method validation.The results of the pharmacokinetic study revealed that,following a single intagastric administration of CLP in rats,the exposure to the parent CLP in plasma was extremely low.Both the area under the drug concentration-time curve(AUC0-35 h)and the peak concentration of the parent CLP were lower than those of its metabolites.The AUC0-35 h of the active metabolite CAM was approximately 43 times that of CLP,though it had a shorter half-life(2.53 h).The inactive metabolite CLP-C exhibited the highest exposure level,but it reached its peak concentration the latest and was eliminated slowly.The AUC0-35 h of CLP-G was about four times that of CAM,and its half-life was similar to that of CLP-C.CONCLUSIONS This study successfully established an liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of CLP and its three metabolites,and revealed their pharmacokinetic characteristics in rats.Specifically,the parent drug CLP was rapidly eliminated,while the inactive metabolites CLP-C and CLP-G exhibited long half-lives,and active metabolite CAM displayed a transient exposure pattern.

Objective:To evaluate the influence of age factors on dose-effect relationship of oxycodone inhibiting responses to tracheal intubation during induction of general anesthesia in pediatric patients.Methods:American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ pediatric patients of both sexes, aged 6 months-6 yr, with body mass index of 12-22 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation, were divided into 3 groups: infant group (group I, 6-12 months), young children group (group Y, >1-3 yr) and preschooler group (group P, >3-6 yr). Oxycodone was slowly injected intravenously, 2 min later etomidate 0.3 mg/kg and cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg were intravenously injected, and 3 min later endotracheal intubation was carried out with a visual laryngoscope in all the children. Mean arterial pressure(MAP) and heart rate (HR) immediately before intubation and peak MAP and HR within 3 min after intubation were recorded. The modified Dixon′s sequential method was used. The initial dose of oxycodone was 0.3 mg/kg in each group. If the response to tracheal intubation was positive, the dose of oxycodone was increased by 0.02 mg/kg in the next child; if the response to tracheal intubation was negative, the dose of oxycodone was decreased by 0.02 mg/kg in the next child. Positive response to tracheal intubation was defined as increase in MAP and/or HR and increase in the peak value exceeding 20% of the pre-intubation level within 3 min after tracheal intubation. The aforementioned process was repeated until 7 negative and positive reactions crossed, and then the test was stopped. The median effective dose (ED 50) and 95% confidence interval of oxycodone were calculated by Probit method. Results:The ED 50 (95% confidence interval) of oxycodone inhibiting responses to the tracheal intubation were 0.280 (0.247-0.301) mg/kg, 0.321 (0.304-0.342) mg/kg and 0.354 (0.342-0.368) mg/kg in I, Y and P groups, respectively. The ED 50 of oxycodone inhibiting responses to the tracheal intubation was gradually increased during induction of general anesthesia with increasing age ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For children aged 6 months to 6 yr, the potency of oxycodone in inhibiting responses to the tracheal intubation during general anesthesia induction gradually decreases with increasing age.

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for simultaneous determination of atorvastatin （ATV） and its active metabolites 2-hydroxy atorvastatin acid （2-HAT）， 4-hydroxy atorvastatin acid （4-HAT） and toxic metabolite atorvastatin lactone （ALT） in rat plasma and apply it for pharmacokinetic study. METHODS LC-MS/MS method was adopted for analysis. The one-step precipitation method was used for processing plasma samples （plasma samples were pretreated by acidification to adjust pH value so as to prevent inversion of configuration）， gradient elution was used to analyze the samples， and the analysis time was 5 min. Electrospray positive ionization was adopted， and positive ion scanning was performed in multi-reaction monitoring. The m/z of quantified ion pairs of ATV and its metabolites such as 2-HAT， 4-HAT and ATL， and internal standard pitavastatin were 559.3→ 440.2， 575.2→440.3， 575.0→440.2， 540.9→448.2 and 422.2→290.0， respectively. After conducting a comprehensive methodological investigation of the analytical method， the concentrations of ATV and its metabolites 2-HAT， 4-HAT，and ATL were determined， and the pharmacokinetic parameters of ATV and its metabolites were calculated using the non- compartment model of WinNonlin 6.1. RESULTS The results of methodological validation showed that endogenous substances in blank plasma did not interfere with the determination of the components to be tested， and the standard curve had a good linear relationship； the lower limits of quantification for ATV， 2-HAT， 4-HAT and ATL were 0.5， 0.5， 0.25 and 0.063 nmol/L， respectively. The precision， accuracy， recovery， matrix effect and stability investigation were all in line with the requirements of biological analysis. Pharmacokinetic analysis showed that after intragastric administration in rats， ATV calcium metabolized rapidly， and was mainly exposed to blood circulation in the form of ATV and 2-HAT， with the lowest concentration of lactone-type metabolites. CONCLUSIONS The established method is precise， rapid and accurate for plasma concentration analysis of ATV and its active/toxic metabolites. The application of the method could help to fully elucidate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of atorvastatin calcium in rats.

Radiation-induced brain injury (RBI) is the most serious complication of head and neck tumor after radiotherapy. The pathogenesis of RBI is complicated, and the clinical course is irreversible, while no effective treatment available. The activation of glial cells is one of the main theories of RBI, and the prevention and treatment of RBI by targeting glial cells is the focus of current research. As a post-transcriptional regulatory factor, microRNA (miRNA) has been confirmed to be involved in regulatingglial cell radiosensitivity, inflammation type transformation, autophagy, exosomatic, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA) and other related pathways, thereby mediating the occurrence and development of cascade reaction of inflammatory injury and neurological function repair of central nervous system (CNS) disease. Therefore, the establishment of miRNA - glial regulatory network may provide a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of RBI.

The function of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) represents the overall effect of the formula. The effect is the expression of numerous biological effects of chemical components of TCM in certain pathological conditions of the body function adjustment, and these chemicals are the material basis of the TCM function. Limited by many conditions, few studies have been done on the material base of TCM function, and most of them have been supplemented by the substance basis of TCM efficacy. This leads to the disconnection between the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and modern research, and it is difficult to scientifically explain the functional indications of Chinese medicine. This paper discusses and summarizes the ideas and methods of modern research and evaluation of the material base of TCM function.Under the guidance of TCM theory and clinical practice, we set up an index system for evaluating the TCM function, and further explained the material basis and action mechanism of TCM formula. Through the organic combination of multidisciplinary and multi-technology, it provides a reference for the establishment of a comprehensive research model of the functional material basis of TCM formula.
