【Objective】 To compare the desalination effects of five desalination methods and their effects on the components for human coagulation factor Ⅷ(FⅧ), and provide reference for selection of protein desalination methods. 【Methods】 Sephadex G-25 Medium gel, Fractogel EMD BioSEC gel, ultrafiltration, room temperature dialysis and 4℃ dialysis were used to desalt human FⅧ. The desalination effect was evaluated by the removal rate of Na +, citrate ion and glycine. FⅧ protein recovery, FⅧ activity (FⅧ∶C), VWF antigen (VWF∶Ag), VWF activity(VWF∶Ac), VWF polymers and SDS-PAGE analysis before and after desalination were compared to evaluate the effect of desalination on FⅧ components. 【Results】 In terms of desalination effect, the removal rate of Na⁺ was the lowest in ultrafiltration desalination, while that of Fractogel EMD BioSEC gel was the highest [(97.90±0.06) % vs (99.82±0.07) %]. Except that there was no statistical significance between Sephadex G-25 Medium gel desalination and Fractogel EMD BioSEC gel desalination (P=0.90), the removal rates of the other four methods were statistically significant. The removal rate of glycine was the lowest in ultrafiltration desalination, wihle that of Fractogel EMD BioSEC gel desalination was the highest [(95.78±0.42) % vs (99.81±0.08) %]. Significant difference in glycine removal was noticed in ultrafiltration desalination, but not among the other four desalination methods. There was no significant difference in the removal rate of citrate ions among the five methods (P=0.85). For the effect of FⅧ components, FⅧ∶C, VWF∶Ag, VWF∶Ac and protein recovery rates of ultrafiltration desalination were the highest, with (18.34±1.99) IU/mL, (11.81±0.33) IU/mL, (12.26±0.58) IU/mL and (97.13±1.37) %, respectively. There was no significant change in VWF∶Ac/VWF∶Ag before and after desalination by the five methods. SDS-PAGE and VWF polymer analysis showed that different desalination methods had no significant impact on protein composition. 【Conclusion】 Although different desalination methods had no significant effect on the composition of FⅧ protein, the desalination effect was different. Moreover, different desalination methods had significant effects on protein recovery, FⅧ∶C, VWF∶Ag and VWF∶Ac. The selection of desalination methods should be more considered during protein processing,

Objective:To establish an HPLC method for benzyl benzoate related substances and propose revision suggestions for the quality standard of this excipient.Methods:Phenylsilane bond and silica gel were used as fill-ers,and methanol-1％acetic acid(60:40)was used as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1.The detection wavelength was 254 nm and the injection amount was 20 μL.Results:Based on the results of the de-struction test and taking into account the separation requirements,the chromatographic conditions for benzyl benzo-ate related substances were confirmed and methodological validation was conducted.The detection limits for benzoic acid and benzaldehyde in related substances were 0.2 μg·mL-1 and 0.01 μg·mL-1.The correction factors for benzoic acid and benzaldehyde were 1.0 and 0.1,respectively.According to the newly established method,six batches of benzyl benzoate samples from four enterprises were inspected for related substances,and benzaldehyde was detected with content from 0.02％to 0.1％.The total amount of impurities was from 0.02％to 0.9％.Conclusion:The newly established method can be added to the quality standards of benzyl benzoate,and different impurity limits can be formulated according to the different administration routes in order to better control drug quality.

Objective:To explore the factors affecting and improvement recommendations about the congealing temperature of benzyl benzoate as pharmaceutical excipient by the method in the Chinese pharmacopoeia.Methods:The influence of seven factors such as measuring device,sample size,melting temperature,condensation tempera-ture,stop stirring time,stirring frequency and reading of congealing temperature on the determination of congealing temperature of benzyl benzoate was investigated.Results:The key factor for determination of benzyl benzoate con-gealing temperature was the stop stirring time,which was more reasonable when the sample temperature drops to constant or starts to rise slightly was reasonable.Conclusion:The improved method has better accuracy and repeat-ability,and is suitable for the measuring the congealing temperature of pharmaceutical excipient benzyl benzoate.

Objective: To investigate the pathological changes and conduct viral gene analysis of OPA and MVD co-occurrence in Inner Mongolia, China. Methods: Using gross pathology, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, ultrastructural pathology, PCR, and sequence analysis, we investigated the concurrent infection of JSRV and MVV in 319 Dorper rams slaughtered in a private slaughterhouse in Inner Mongolia, in 2022. Results: Of the 319 rams included, 3 showed concurrent JSRV and MVV infection. Gross lung pathology showed diffuse enlargement, consolidation, and greyish-white miliary nodules on the lung surface; the trachea was filled with a white foamy fluid; hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes were significantly enlarged. Histopathology results revealed typical OPA and MVD lesions in the lung tissue. Immunohistochemical results were positive for JSRV envelope protein (Env) in the tumor cells and MVV CA in alveolar macrophages. Transmission electron microscopy showed several virions and autophagosomes in the lung tissue, severely damaged mitochondria, and the induced mitophagy. Nucleotide sequences obtained for JSRV env and MVV gag showed the highest homology with the Inner Mongolian strains of JSRV env (JQ837489) and MVV gag (MW248464). Conclusions and Relevance: Our study confirmed that OPA and MVD co-occurrence and identified the pathological changes in Inner Mongolia, China, thereby providing references for the identification of concurrent JSRV and MVV infections.
