ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the influencing factors of smoking tendency of adolescents and to analyze the influence of e-cigarette on smoking tendency of teenagers and the possible interaction, to provide evidence for tobacco control measures.@*Methods@#Stratified multistage cluster probability sampling method was used to select 6 178 students from junior middle school, high school and vocational high school students in Shanghai for questionnaire survey from September to October 2019. Students with smoking tendency were taken as case group, adolescents with same sex and similar age(within 1 year) were mathed in 1∶3 ratio. A total of 631 adolescents with smoking tendency and 1 870 non-smoking tendency were included in the study. Conditional Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors and possible interactions.@*Results@#After adjusting gender, age and other covariates, conditional Logistic analysis results showed that the smoking tendency of middle school students was associated with factors such as their friends smoking, trying cigarettes and trying e-cigarettes. The OR value and 95%CI were 3.26(2.47-4.29), 5.90(3.76-9.24), and 3.28(2.11-5.10), respectively. The interaction analysis results showed that the OR value and 95%CI of the multiplying interaction between friends smoking and trying e-cigarettes, trying smoking and trying e-cigarettes were 8.62(4.90-15.17) and 12.01(6.02-23.95), respectively. There was no additive interaction.@*Conclusion@#Tobacco control interventions, such as e-cigarette harm publicity and peer education, can help to change teenagers smoking tendency and further reduce their tobacco use rate.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To investigate in vitro release rate and in vivo pharmacokinetics of Resveratrol/hydroxypropyl-β- cyclodextrin/chitosan sustained-release pellets （RES/HP-β-CD/Chitosan） in rats. METHODS： In vitro release rate of RES raw materials， RES-HP-β-CD complexes （RES/HP-β-CD） and RES/HP-β-CD/Chitosan in water within 12 h were investigated by paddle method. The pharmacokinetic characteristics of RES raw materials， RES/HP-β-CD and RES/HP-β-CD/Chitosan were compared within 720 min after intragastric administration. RESULTS： Compared with RES raw materials， in vitro release rate of RES/HP-β-CD was increased significantly， and 120 min accumulative release rate reached 87％. Compared with RES/HP-β-CD， in vitro release rate of RES/HP-β-CD/Chitosan were relieved significantly； release time prolonged significantly； 12 h accumulative release rate was 72％. The pharmacokinetic parameters of RES raw materials， RES/HP-β-CD and RES/HP-β-CD/Chitosan included that cmax were 473.3， 2 492.2， 590.5 ng/mL； t1/2 were 2.6， 0.5， 4.6 h； AUC0-12 h were 514.7， 824.6， 2 778.5 ng·h/mL. Compared with RES raw materials， relative bioavailability of RES/HP-β-CD and RES/HP-β-CD/Chitosan were 172.5％ and 540.0％. CONCLUSIONS： RES/HP-β-CD/Chitosan shows good sustained-release effect， and its bioavailability is significantly higher than that of RES raw materials， RES/HP-β-CD.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To prepare Resveratrol-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin-chitosan sustained-release pellets （RES-HP-β- CD-Chitosan）， and to characterize it. METHODS： Resveratrol raw material， HP-β-cyclodextrin and chitosan were collected with ratio of 1 ∶ 7 ∶ 0.25. Resveratrol-HP-β-cyclodextrin inclusion compound were prepared by solvent method， and then added into chitosan， RES-HP-β-CD-Chitosan were prepared by spray drying method. Particle size of prepared sustained-released pellets were observed by optical microscope. X-ray， DSC， IR and SEM were used to characterize RES-HP-β-CD-Chitosan. The contents of resveratrol in prepared sustained-released pellets were determined by UV spectrum， and drug-loading amount and encapsulation efficiency were calculated. RESULTS： Particle size of prepared RES-HP-β-CD-Chitosan was （2.23±0.35） μm （n＝300）. Characterization results show that RES-HP-β-CD-Chitosan was spherical in shape； shrinkage was found on the surface of microspheres， and resveratrol was included in HP-β-cyclodextrin in molecule or amorphous state. Drug-loading amount of prepared RES-HP-β-CD-Chitosan was 11.67％ （n＝3）， encapsulation efficiency was 96.27％ （n＝3）. CONCLUSIONS： RES-HP-β-CD- Chitosan is prepared successfully.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the characteristics of SCI papers published in international cooperation of Chinese medicine and to understand the current research situation in this field.Methods Using the scientific citation index extension (SCI-E) database in Web of Science was used as the data source,and this paper retrieves retrieved related papers and highly cited papers on the international cooperation of traditional Chinese medicine during the year 1990-2017,and analyses from the years,cooperative countries and regions,periodicals,fund support,authors' institutions and research content by using the method of Bibliometrics and co co-word clustering.Results The total number of the articles for analyzing was 10 984,and the number of highly cited article was 114,which showed the number of article increased gradually.There are were 145 countries and regions in cooperation.The first three countries are were the United States,Japan and the United Kingdom.A total of 25 core periodicals are were determined.The fund funding rate wais 74.5％.The fund financed institutions with the largest number of cooperative contributions are were both the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the National Institutes of health in the United States.The hot top-subject of cooperative research haswas pharmacology and pharmacology.The breast cancer,ovarian cancer,colorectal cancer and inflammation,such as acupuncture treatment for pain,polycystic ovary syndrome,and depression.Conclusions The international cooperation of traditional Chinese medicine has gone through the embryonic stage,and now it is at the stage of development.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of curcumin on the inflammatory responses in the hippocampus during global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in hypertensive rats.Methods Forty-eight SPF male Wistar-Kyoto rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 180-200 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =24 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (W-Sham group) and I/R group (W-I/R group).Seventy-two SPF male spontaneously hypertensive rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 180-200 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =24 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S-Sham group),I/R group (S-I/R group),and curcumin group (S-Cur group).Global cerebral ischemia was induced by 4-vessel occlusion method (10 min of transient global ischemia followed by reperfusion).Curcumin 100 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 30 min of reperfusion in S-Cur group,and corn oil 5 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 30 min of reperfusion in the other groups.The ability of learning and memory was tested by step-down test at 7 days of reperfusion.Rats were sacrificed at 3 h and 1,3 and 7 days of reperfusion (T1-4) and the hippocampi were removed.The morphological changes of pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 area were observed by HE staining.The mean density of pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 area was quantified by Nissl staining.The contents of interleukin-lβ (IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and IL-10 in the hippocampus were determined by ELISA.Results Compared with W-Sham group,the ability of learning and memory was significantly decreased,the mean density of pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 area was decreased,the contents of IL-1β at T1-3,TNF-α at T1,and IL-10 at T2 were increased,and the contents of IL-10 were decreased at T1,3,4 in W-I/R group,and no significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in S-Sham group.Compared with W-I/R group,the ability of learning and memory was significantly decreased,the contents of IL-1β at T1,3 and IL-10 at T2 were decreased,the content of TNF-α was increased at T1,no significant change was found in the mean density of pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 area,and the damage to pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 area was severe in S-I/R group.Compared with S-I/R group,the ability of learning and memory was significantly increased,the mean density of pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 area was increased,the contents of IL-1β at T2,3 and TNF-α at T1-4 were increased,and the content of IL-10 was increased at T2,and the damage to pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 area was reduced in S-Cur group.Conclusion Inhibition of inflammatory responses in the hippocampus may be involved in the mechanism by which curcumin reduces global cerebral I/R injury in hypertensive rats.
