The first dimensional chromatographic column: SNCB(T)-1A(silica gel, 4.6 mm×50 mm, 5 μm), mobile phase A:VCV-1D mobile phase, flow rate: 0.4 ml/min; mobile phase B: water, flow rate: 1.0 ml/min; second dimensional chromatographic column: Symmetry C18 (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm), mobile phase: acetonitrile-10 mmol/L ammonium acetate solution(V/V=25∶75), flow rate: 1.0 ml/min;Intermediate column: SBX 4-MA(resin, 3.0 mm×10 mm, 5µm). The UV detection wavelength:306 nm, the column temperature:45 ℃, and the injection volume:200 μl. Results The linear range of lamotrigine was 1.24-39.50 μg/ml, the lower limit of quantification was 1.24 μg/ml, the detection limit was 0.02 μg/ml, the intra-day precision RSD was less than 5%, the day-to-day precision RSD was less than 10%, the variation of intra-day accuracy ranged from 102.17% to 111.17%, and the daytime accuracy variation ranged from 99.80% to 107.31% the recovery RSD was less than 5%, and the variation range was 89.95% -96.16%. After 24 hours storage at room temperature, repeated freezing and thawing for 3 times and storage at −40 ℃ for 2 weeks, the ratio of the measured value/labeled value ranged from 87.01% to 115.88%.

Objective: To evaluate the causal effects and population heterogeneity of Guangzhou′s Voluntary Blood Donation Privilege Certificate Policy on blood donation behavior, and to provide empirical evidence for optimizing blood management policies. Methods: Using an interrupted time series (ITS) design, we analyzed 30 quarters of blood collection data from Guangzhou Blood Center (from July 2018 to December 2025). Taking the third quarter of 2021 as the intervention node, we constructed ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models incorporating level and trend effects, and conducted stratified analyses by gender, age group, previous donation frequency, and per-donation volume. Results: The tiered incentive policy demonstrated significant heterogeneous effects. Apheresis donations showed sustained growth, with 2 units of component blood exhibiting a significant trend effect (β=304.58, P<0.001); high-frequency donors (11+ times) demonstrated sustained growth trends in apheresis donations. For whole blood, immediate effects were significant for donors with 1-2 previous donations (β=4 537.55, P<0.001) and 3-10 previous donations (β=2 159.69, P<0.05); high-frequency donors (11-30 times) showed sustained growth trends (P<0.01). Stratified by per-donation volume, 400 mL whole blood demonstrated a significant immediate effect (β=4 391.01, P<0.1), while 200 mL whole blood showed a significant declining trend (β=-893.24, P<0.01). Conclusion: The tiered incentive policy effectively enhanced blood donation participation while maintaining the donors’ altruistic motivations. Young and middle-aged adults primarily drove apheresis donations. The policy demonstrated immediate incentive effects on low-frequency whole blood donors and long-term retention effects on high-frequency donors. Per-donation volume showed an "upward migration" trend, optimizing the blood collection structure. Differentiated outreach, conversion and retention strategies are recommended to further strengthen blood supply security.

Objective To investigate the quality and in vitro release behavior of the sirolimus self-microemulsion-mesoporous silicon sustained release tablets and provide a basis for further research and development of related preparations. Methods The hardness, brittleness and content uniformity of the sustained-release tablets were tested refer to Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China 2020. Different diameters (10, 11, 12 mm), different hardness (50, 70, 90 N), different speed (50, 75, 100 r/min), different dissolution methods (pulp method, basket method) were investigated. The release conditions of the sustained-release tablets with different pH solution (distilled water solution and 0.4% SDS solution with pH of 1.2, 4.5 and 6.8, respectively) and the in vitro release conditions of the sustained-release tablets were observed. Results The hardness, brittleness and content uniformity of the self-made sustained-release tablets were qualified; different diameters and dissolution methods had no effect on the drug release behavior of the sustained-release tablets in vitro, while the different hardness, different rotational speed and the different pH release media had certain effects. Conclusion The sirolimus self-microemulsion-mesoporous silicon sustained release tablets had good sustained-release effect in vitro and was deserved to further study.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the role of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) and inhibitory kappaB alpha (IkappaBalpha) in hepatocellular cacinoma (HCC) SMMC7721 cells, the consequence of NF-kappaB inhibition in SMMC7721 cells transfected with mutated IkappaBalpha (mIkappaBalpha) plasmid and the effect of stable inhibition of NF-kappaB activity in combination with Doxorubicin.
METHODSWestern blot was used to determine the expression of NF-kappaB and IkappaBalpha in SMMC7721 cells and normal liver cells. Nuclear protein was used to evaluate the binding of the (32)P-labeled tandem kappaB sequence using electrophoretic mobility shift assay and the expression of NF-kappaB using Western blot between SMMC7721 cells transfected with mIkappaBalpha plasmid (SMMC7721-MT) and control cells. Furthermore, cell viability was plotted between SMMC7721-MT and control cells. The binding of kappaB sequence and cell viability between SMMC7721-MT and control cells at different concentrations of Doxorubicin were also investigated.
RESULTSWestern blot analysis for nuclear extract showed more P50 (NF-kappaB1) and P65 (RelA) expression in SMMC7721 cells compared with normal liver cells. The expression of cytosolic IkappaBalpha protein in SMMC7721 cells was less than that in normal cells. SMMC7721-MT cells inhibited NF-kappaB nuclear translocation at 0, 24, 48 and 96 hours. Furthermore, NF-kappaB cannot be detected in the nuclear protein of SMMC7721-MT cells by Western blot. By calculating cell viability, the proliferation of SMMC7721-MT cells was shown to be suppressed more significantly than that of control cells. NF-kappaB in untransfected cells was activated by Doxorubicin in a dose-dependent manner, but that in SMMC7721-MT cells was not induced at low concentrations of Doxorubicin. Compared with untransfected cells, the viability of SMMC7721-MT cells was significantly suppressed at the same concentration of Doxorubicin (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSThe present study demonstrates that upregulation of NF-kappaB and downregulation of inhibitory kappa B (IkappaBalpha) in SMMC7721 cells are related with the growth of hepatocellular cacinoma cells. Stable expression of mIkappaBalpha in SMMC7721-MT cells can inhibit NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and suppress cell growth. Furthermore, stable inhibition of NF-kappaB activity in combination with Doxorubicin can significantly inhibit cell proliferation in SMMC7721-MT cells. Thus, modulation of NF-kappaB may represent an improvement in the efficacy of HCC therapies and be worthy of further research and investigation.
