Objective To study the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of two formulations of rasagiline mesylate tablets in healthy subjects under fasting and fed conditions.Methods The two-period,two-sequence,crossover study design was adopted in the fasting study.Thirty-six subjects were enrolled and given either test preparation or reference preparation 1 mg respectively in two periods.After collecting plasma samples,the plasma concentration of rasagiline was determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS)and the bioequivalence was evaluated using the average bioequivalence(ABE)method.The four-period,two-sequence,fully replicate crossover study design was adopted in the fed study.Forty-eight subjects were enrolled and given the test preparation or the reference preparation at a dose of 1 mg twice respectively in four periods.According to the degree of intra-individual variation of Cmax,AUC0-t and AUC0-∞,the equivalence was evaluated using the reference-scaled average bioequivalence and ABE method,respectively.Results In the fasting study,the pharmacokinetic parameters of rasagiline of the test and reference preparation were as follow:Cmax were(9.70±3.14)and(9.62±3.85)ng·mL-1,AUC0-t were(6.03±1.47)and(6.02±1.95)ng·h·mL-1,AUC0-∞ were(6.13±1.51)and(6.12±1.97)ng·h·mL-1.The 90％confidence interval(CI)of the geometric mean ratio(GMR)were 94.11％-118.06％,99.22％-107.74％and 99.16％-107.44％for Cmax,AUC0-t and AUC0-∞,respectively,which were within the acceptance criteria of 80.00％-125.00％.In the fed study,the pharmacokinetic parameters of rasagiline of the test and reference preparation were as follow:Cmax were(3.00±1.92)and(3.52±1.77)ng·mL-1,AUC0_t were(5.02±1.20)and(5.06±1.20)ng·h·mL-1,AUC0-∞ were(5.11±1.23)and(5.14±1.22)ng·h·mL-1.The 90％CI of GMR were 96.99％-101.19％and 97.17％-101.41％for AUC0-t and AUC0-∞,which were within the acceptance criteria of 80.00％-125.00％.The 95％upper confidence bound of Cmax for were less than"0",and the point estimate of GMR were within the acceptance criteria of 80.00％-125.00％.The incidence of adverse events in fasting and fed studies was 22.86％and 22.92％,respectively,and all adverse events were moderate to mild.Conclusion The two rasagiline mesylate tablets were bioequivalent,and both the formulations were well tolerated.

Objective This study aimed to comprehensively analyze and compare the clinicopathological features and prognosis of Chinese patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)-low early breast cancer(BC)and HER2-IHC0 BC. Methods Patients diagnosed with HER2-negative BC(N=999)at our institution between January 2011 and December 2015 formed our study population.Clinicopathological characteristics,association between estrogen receptor(ER)expression and HER2-low,and evolution of HER2 immunohistochemical(IHC)score were assessed.Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to compare the long-term survival outcomes(5-year follow-up)between the HER2-IHC0 and HER2-low groups. Results HER2-low BC group tended to demonstrate high expression of ER and more progesterone receptor(PgR)positivity than HER2-IHC0 BC group(P<0.001).The rate of HER2-low status increased with increasing ER expression levels(Mantel-Haenszel χ2 test,P<0.001,Pearson's R=0.159,P<0.001).Survival analysis revealed a significantly longer overall survival(OS)in HER2-low BC group than in HER2-IHC0 group(P=0.007)in the whole cohort and the hormone receptor(HR)-negative group.There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of disease-free survival(DFS).The discordance rate of HER2 IHC scores between primary and metastatic sites was 36.84%. Conclusion HER2-low BC may not be regarded as a unique BC group in this population-based study due to similar clinicopathological features and prognostic roles.

Eleven compounds were isolated from the twigs and leaves of Xylopia vielana Pierre by various chromatographic techniques such as silica gel, ODS and the semi-preparative HPLC. Their chemical structures were identified by HR-ESI-MS, NMR, ECD and other spectroscopic methods as vielana A (1), vielana B (2), vielana C (3), 10-oxo-isodauc-3-en-15-al (4), 1α-hydroxyisodauc-4-en-15-al (5), mokko lactone (6), 11β,13-dihydrocostunolide (7), eurylosesquiterpenol E (8), epi-α-cadinol (9), mustakone (10), 7-epi-amiteo (11). Among them, compounds 1-3 were new compounds, and the rest compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time. Compounds 1 and 2 increased the transcriptional activity of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) downstream target gene BSEP promoter, indicating that they have potential of FXR activation.

The paper is to establish an UPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of 19 components in Microctis Folium from different production areas. The 50% methanol was used as extraction solvent. The Agilent ZORBAX SB C18 (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.8 μm) column was used; mobile phase was acetonitrile - 0.1% acetic acid with gradient elution, flow rate was 0.3 mL·min^-1, colume temperature was 30 ℃, and the injection volume was 2 μL; electrospray ionizaton source was used and detected in negative ion mode. The results showed that the established UPLC-MS/MS method could well separate the 19 components, and the methodological investigation results of 19 components were good. By means of orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), 28 batches of Microctis Folium samples from different production areas can be divided into three categories, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan are each classified into one category, and 10 signature compounds which affecting the quality differences of different production areas were screened out. The established method is accurate, reliable, sensitive and reproducible. It can provide a basis for the establishment of the quality standard of Microctis Folium, as well as for safety and quality research.

Objective:To explore the value of common nutritional indexes to assess the severity of elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods:The data of 94 elderly COPD patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Internal Medicine of Huangshan Shoukang Hospital from January 2018 to August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the final outcome of the patients,the patients were divided into improvement group(n=83)and ICU group(n=11).The nutritional status and lung functions of patients were assessed.Data including forced expiratory volume in one second/prediction(FEV1/Pre)was collected.The correlation of levels of body mass index(BMI),albumin,prealbumin,retinol binding protein,lymphocyte count,and geriatric nutritional risk index with FEV1/Pre was analyzed.And the value of these indexes in predicting whether patients needed to be transferred to ICU or not was analyzed.Results:Among the 94 patients,60 were male and 34 were female.The age ranged from 50 to 92 years old,and the quartile was 78(72,83)years old.The correlation coefficients between FEV1/Pre and levels of BMI,albumin,prealbumin,retinol binding protein,lymphocyte count,and geriatric nutritional risk index were 0.535(P<0.001),0.726(P<0.001),0.351(P=0.001),0.498(P<0.001),0.572(P<0.001),and 0.940(P<0.001),respectively.The areas under the ROC curve predicted by levels of BMI,albumin,prealbumin,retinol binding protein,lymphocyte count,and geriatric nutritional risk index were 0.744(95%CI:0.544～0.944,P<0.001),0.834(95%CI:0.669～1.000,P<0.001),0.658(95%CI:0.468～0.823,P<0.001),0.602(95%CI:0.408～0.811,P<0.001),0.649(95%CI:0.428～0.856,P<0.001),and 0.875(95%CI:0.751～0.999,P<0.001),respectively.Conclusions:Levels of BMI,prealbumin,retinol binding protein,lymphocyte count,and geriatric nutritional risk index had certain correlation with the severity of COPD,which could be used to assess the severity of COPD.The elderly nutritional risk index showed the best prediction value.
