Objective To study the effect of flumazenil on hypnotic mice induced by diazepam and zolpidem ,and to eval-uate the possibility of flumazenil oral administration .Methods First ,Kunming mice were injected intraperitoneally with nor-mal saline and sodium pentobarbital (S + W) ,diazepam and pentobarbital sodium (D + W) ,zolpidem and pentobarbital sodi-um (Z + W) .The hypnotic effect of diazepam and zolpidem on prolonging the sleep time of pentobarbital sodium would be ver-ified by (D + W) group and (Z + W) group .Then the mice were injected intraperitoneally with flumazenil .The sleep time was used as the evaluation index to evaluate the effect of flumazenil against hypnosis . Finally , the oral administration of flumazenil was observed against hypnosis ,which was evaluated by using sleep time as an index .Results Compared with the control group (S+W) ,the diazepam group (D+W) and the zolpidem group (Z+W) significantly prolonged the sleep time in-duced by pentobarbital sodium (P<0 .001 ,P<0 .05);After Intraperitoneal injection of flumazenil ,compared with the diazepam group (D+W) and the zolpidem group (Z+W) ,the sleep time of the diazepam group [F(ip)+D+W] and the zolpidem group [F(ip)+Z+W] were significantly shorter (P<0 .001 ,P<0 .05);After oral administration of flumazenil ,the sleep time of the diazepam group [F(ig)+ D+ W] and the zolpidem group [F(ig)+ Z+ W] were also significantly shorter (P< 0 .001 ,P<0.05) .Conclusion Flumazenil ,whether intraperitoneal injection or intragastric administration ,could antagonize the hypnotic effect of diazepam and zolpidem .It was proved that oral administration of flumazenil had the same effect compared with intrap-eritoneal injection of flumazenil ,which provided the possibility of preparation of oral administration of flumazenil .

Objective To construct an active targeting drug delivery system‐polymer vesicles(PVs), and examined the cellular uptake. Methods Maleimide‐ polyethylene glycol‐poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid)(MAL‐PEG‐PLGA)was used as carrier materials to prepare PVs by self‐assembling. And then PVs was modified by Tf and Tet‐1(Tf/Tet‐1‐PVs). To evaluate its ac‐tive targeting, coumarin‐6 was used as a fluorescent probe to analyze cellular uptake of PVs for both BCEC and Neuro‐2a cells. Results PVs was about 80 nm with rounded shape and had obvious film structure. Tf/Tet‐1‐PVs exhibited a significant role in promoting cellular uptake for both BCEC and Neuro‐2a cells compared with control and single ligand‐modified group. Conclusion PVs modified with dual ligands could promote the cell uptake for both brain capillary cells and nerve cells.
