Application of artificial neural network model in bioequivalence study of candesartan cilexetil tablets / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

AIM: To evaluate the bioequivalence of two candesartan cilexetil tablet formulations in healthy Chinese subjects after administration of a single dose, and an artificial neural network model was established to predict the candesartan plasma concentration, and provide a basis for clinical rational use of drugs. METHODS: Thirty-two healthy Chinese subjects were enrolled for oral administration of a single 8 mg dose of candesartan cilexetil tablet (test or reference product) under fasting or fed conditions to conduct a bioequivalence study. The bioequivalence results were used to build a back-propagation artificial neural network model by MATLAB software, and the model was internally and externally verified to predict the plasma concentration. RESULTS: Under both fasting and fed conditions, the C

Role of hydrogen sulfide mediated autophagy related genes in intestinal function injury of sepsis / 中华危重病急救医学

Sepsis is an organ dysfunction that endangers a patient's life caused by an imbalanced infection response, and is a clinically critical illness. Despite a deep understanding of the pathogenesis of sepsis, there has been no significant improvement in sepsis mortality during clinical treatment at home and abroad. In recent years, the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of sepsis has become a new research point in the field of medical research. Autophagy may protect the body by removing pathogenic microorganisms, neutralizing microbial toxins, and regulating cytokine release in sepsis. Studies have shown that autophagy plays a role in heart and lung organ dysfunction and inflammatory immune response in sepsis. Studies have also shown that hydrogen sulphide (H 2S) can activate autophagy through multiple signaling pathways, such as adenylate-activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin (AMPK/mTOR), phosphoinositide 3 kinase/Akt/mTOR (PI3K/Akt/mTOR), liver kinase B1/STE20 related adapter protein/mouse protein 25 (LKB1/STRAD/MO25) and microRNA-30c (miR-30c), etc. signaling pathways. This article reviewed the effects of H 2S on autophagy-related genes Beclin-1 and microtubule-associated protein light 3 chain (LC3) on intestinal function of sepsis in order to explore the H 2S-mediated autophagy gene expression in pus. The protective role of autophagy gene for intestinal dysfunction provides a new strategy for the treatment of sepsis in the future.

Bioequivalence of norfloxacin tablets in Chinese Healthy volunteers under Fasting and Fed Condition / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

AIM: To compare the bioavailability of norfloxacin tablets produced by Zhejiang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd with the original product BACCIDAL, and to evaluate bioequivalence of two formulations, a randomized, open, two-cycle, self-crossing trial in healthy Chinese population was designed. METHODS: Under fasting and fed conditions, healthy volunteers were given a single dose of norfloxacin test or reference tablets for 100 mg. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method were used to determine drug concentration in the plasma taken at different time points before and after dosing. Pharmacokinetic parameters and the bioequivalence of the two formulations were calculated by WinNonlin 7.0 software. RESULTS: A total of 28 healthy volunteers were enrolled and completed the fasting test. The pharmacokinetic parameters for test and reference preparations in fasting state were as follows: C
