血栓通注射液对暂时性和永久性大鼠脑缺血模型的神经保护作用

血栓通注射液(冻干)(XST)是一种从三七中提取的中草药标准化产品,广泛用于临床治疗急性脑梗塞等脑血管疾病。本研究评估了XST在不同大鼠脑缺血模型中的急性和延长保护作用,并探讨了其对过氧化物酶(Prx) 6-toll样受体(TLR) 4信号通路的影响。用XST处理抑制过氧化物酶(Prx) 6-toll样受体(TLR) 4的蛋白质表达和p38的磷酸化水平,并且上调STAT3的磷酸化水平。XST治疗3 d可显著降低暂时性大脑中动脉阻塞(MCAO)诱导的梗死体积和肿胀百分比,并调节白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)、IL-17、IL-23p19、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNFα)和诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)。在永久MCAO大鼠中,XST可以减少梗死体积和肿胀百分比。XST治疗还可以增加大鼠的体重并改善一批功能结果。XST可以保护暂时性和永久性MCAO大鼠的缺血性损伤可能与Prx6-TLR4途径有关。     

Aidi injection,a traditional Chinese biomedical preparation for gynecologic tumors: a systematic review and PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis

Aidi injection (ADI), a traditional Chinese biomedical preparation, is a promising adjuvant therapy for gynecologic tumors (GTs), including cervical cancer (CC), endometrial cancer (EC), and ovarian cancer (OC). Although studies have reported positively on ADI therapy, its exact effects and safety in GT patients remain controversial. Therefore, a wide-ranging systematic search of electronic databases was performed for this meta-analysis. Data from 38 trials including 3309 GT patients were analyzed. The results indicated that the combination of conventional treatment and ADI markedly improved the patients’ overall response rate (P<0.00001), disease control rate (P<0.00001), and quality of life (P<0.05) compared with conventional treatment alone. Furthermore, patient immunity was enhanced with combined treatment, as indicated by significantly increased percentages of CD3⁺ (P=0.005) and CD4⁺ (P<0.00001) and increased CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratio (P=0.001). Most of the adverse events caused by radiochemotherapy such as gastrointestinal issues, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and hepatotoxicity, (P<0.05 for all) were significantly alleviated when ADI was used in the GT patients. However, other adverse events such as nephrotoxicity, diarrhea, alopecia, and neurotoxicity did not significantly differ between the two groups. Overall, these results suggest that the combination of conventional and ADI treatment is more effective than conventional treatment alone.     

Flow‐injection chemiluminescence determination of diazepam by oxidation with N‐bromosuccinimide

A rapid and sensitive flow‐injection chemiluminescence (FI–CL) method is described for the determination of diazepam based on its reaction with N‐bromosuccinimide (NBS) in alkaline medium in the presence of dichlorofluorescein (DCF) as an effective energy‐transfer agent. Under optimum conditions, the proposed method allowed the measurement of diazepam over the range of 2.0 × 10^?6 to 2.0 × 10^?4 mol/L with a detection limit of 5.0 × 10^?7 mol/L. The relative standard deviation for 11 parallel measurements of 2.0 × 10^?5 mol/L diazepam was 2.1%. The method was applied satisfactorily for the determination of diazepam in pharmaceutical preparations, and the results agree well with those obtained by spectrophotometry. The use of the proposed system for the determination of diazepam in urine and plasma samples was also tested. The possible mechanism of the chemiluminescence reaction is discussed briefly.

MODIFIED ETHANOL INJECTION METHOD FOR LIPOSOMES CONTAINING β-SITOSTEROL β-D-GLUCOSIDE

A modified ethanol injection method for liposomes containing soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC), cholesterol (Ch), β-sitosterol β-D-glucoside (Sit-G) and oleic acid (OA) was developed, that can produce homogeneous unilamellar liposomes without the use of sonication and dialysis. In this method, water is poured into a concentrated lipid-ethanol solution and then ethanol is removed in an evaporator. Dilution with water causes spontaneous formation of small and homogenous unilamellar vesicles from micellar aggregate. The size of liposomes can be controlled by the ratio of ethanol to water. OA and Sit-G were distributed at the surface of liposomes and were recognized by Concanavalin A, respectively. This easy and quick method for preparation of liposomes may be applicable in many areas.     

Manufacture of liposomes by isopropanol injection: characterization of the method

Unilamellar liposomes are conventionally prepared by rapid injection of an ethanolic solution of lipids into an aqueous medium. The aim of the present study was to control, more efficiently, vesicle diameter by using an alternative solvent. The results show that isopropanol injection is a good alternative to ethanol injection for the manufacture of liposomes. Particle size can be controlled by the variation of process parameters, such as stirring speed of the aqueous phase and injection flow rate of lipid-isopropanol solution. Diameter of vesicles obtained by this method is less affected by the nature of phospholipid, as well as lipid concentration, than in the ethanol-injection process. In addition, the vesicles are generally smaller (approximately 40–210?nm). Accurate characterization of the particles, by fluorescence, ³¹P-NMR, and cryo–transmission electron microscopy, showed that particles are formed of a single lipid bilayer around an aqueous cavity. We thus provide the scientific community with a fully characterized alternative method to produce unilamellar vesicles.     

Ethanol injection method for hydrophilic and lipophilic drug-loaded liposome preparation

In this article, a hydrophobic (beclomethasone dipropionate; BDP) and a hydrophilic (cytarabine; Ara-C) drugs have been encapsulated in liposomes in order to be administered via the pulmonary route. For this aim, a liposome preparation method, which is easy to scale up, the ethanol injection method, has been selected. The effects of critical process and formulation parameters have been investigated. The drug-loaded liposomes were prepared and characterized in terms of size, zeta potential, encapsulation efficiency, release study, cell uptake, and aerodynamic behavior. Small multilamellar vesicles, with sizes ranging from about 80 to 170?nm, were successfully obtained. Results indicated a significant influence of phospholipid and cholesterol amounts on liposome size and encapsulation efficiency. The higher encapsulation efficiencies were about 100% for the hydrophobic drug (BDP) and about 16% for the hydrophilic one (Ara-C). The in vitro release study showed a prolonged release profile for BDP, in contrast with Ara-C, which was released more rapidly. The cell-uptake test revealed that fluorescent liposomes have been well internalized into the cytoplasm of SW-1573 human lung carcinoma cells, confirming the possibility to use liposomes for lung cell targeting. Nebulized Ara-C and BDP liposomes presented aerodynamic diameters compatible with deep lung deposition. In conclusion, the elaborated liposomes seem to be promising carriers for both Ara-C and BDP pulmonary delivery.

Quantitative and antioxidative behavior of Trolox in rats’ blood and brain by HPLC‐UV and SMFIA‐CL methods

Trolox, a water‐soluble vitamin E analogue has been used as a positive control in Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity and oxygen radical antioxidant capacity assays due to its high antioxidative effect. In this study, the ex vivo antioxidative effects of Trolox and its concentration in blood and brain microdialysates from rat after administration were evaluated by newly established semi‐microflow injection analysis, chemiluminescence detection and HPLC‐UV. In the administration test, the antioxidative effect of Trolox in blood and brain microdialysates after a single administration of 200 mg/kg of Trolox to rats could be monitored. The antioxidative effects in blood (12.0 ± 2.1) and brain (8.4 ± 2.1, × 10³ antioxidative effect % × min) also increased. Additionally, the areas under the curve (AUC)s_0–360 (n = 3) for blood and brain calculated with quantitative data were 10.5 ± 1.2 and 9.7 ± 2.5 mg/mL × min, respectively. This result indicates that Trolox transferability through the blood–brain barrier is high. The increase in the antioxidative effects caused by Trolox in the blood and brain could be confirmed because good correlations between concentration and antioxidative effects (r ≥ 0.702) were obtained. The fact that Trolox can produce an antioxidative effect in rat brain was clarified. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
