ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the influencing factors in the preparation of salicylic acid dropping pills , and determine the opti-mum preparation process .Methods: The environmental factors , heating temperature , matrix ratio and preparation steps of salicylic acid drop pills were observed .With pill weight difference , dissolution time and appearance quality as the indices , an orthogonal test was adopted to optimize the preparation process .Results:Salicylic acid and the matrix should be separately heated to prevent red ox-ide.The optimized preparation process of drop pills was as follows:the ratio of PEG 400 and PEG 6000 was 1∶5, the temperature of drug solution was 50℃, the dropping distance was 8 cm and the dropping rate was 70 drops per minute .Conclusion:The preparation process is simple and practicable .The pill weight difference , dissolution time and appearance quality all meet the quality require-ments.
ABSTRACT
Fuantai-03(FAT-03), isolated from the Dasyatis akajei, has a strong antiangiogenic activity. The recombinant Fuantai-03 (GST/rFAT-03) fusion protein can be obtained with the DNA recombination technology. In this study, expression conditions of GST/rFAT-03 were optimized by response surface experimental design method. The constructed engineering bacteria containing GST/rFAT-03 plasmid was induced by isopropy-beta-D-thiogalactosid (IPTG), the GST affinity column was used for isolation and purification, and then the effects of different culture time, IPTG concentration, induction temperature and induction time on the amount of soluble GST/rFAT-03 fusion protein were compared. The culture time for optimal expression was 6.13 h, IPTG concentration was 0.36 mmol/L, induction temperature was 19.71 degrees C, and induction time was 13.60 h. The amount of soluble GST/rFAT-03 fusion protein was 7.57 mg/L under above mentioned expression conditions. The results also showed that rFAT-03 significantly inhibited angiogenesis in chicken chorioallantoic membrane in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the soluble form of the target protein is useful for further work on purification and on studying its biological function.

Objective To study the potential antidepressive-like effect of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP). Methods Forced-swimming and chronic mild stress (CMS) tests were performed to assess the antidepressant-like activity of TMP. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) strain rats were divided into six matched groups (n= 13 or 14 in each group) based on their sucrose consumption:control, CMS, CMS + fluoxetine, and CMS + TMP groups. The rats except control were housed separately in different rooms, and the rat model of depression was established by exposing to an unpredictable sequence of stressors for 28 days; the rats in CMS + fluoxetine were exposed to CMS and received administration of FLU (2.0 mg· kg-1·d-1 ,ig) for 28 days; the rats in CMS + TMP groups were exposed to CMS and received administration of TMP (10,20,40 mg·kg-1·d-1 ,ig) , respectively, for 28 days. The rats in control group were given ordinary daily care and received ig administration of normal saline simultaneously. The body weight, food intake and fluid consumption were measured, and the behaviors were examined by open field during the duration of the stress procedure, and forced-swimming test was performed 1 day after last unpredictable stressor. Results Acute administration of TMP markedly decreased the duration of immobility during forced-swimming test((89.0 ±37.0)s vs (117.1 ±32. 1)s, P<0.05) . Chronic administration of TMP partially countered the effects of CMS on consumption of sucrose solution and locomotion and exploration behavior, and potently shortened the immobility time during forced-swimming test following CMS in rats. The results showed that long-term administration of TMP partially reversed the effects of CMS on the body weight gain,the consumption of sucrose solution,the squares crossing in open field test and the immobility time during forced-swimming test in rats ((91.9 ±31.5) vs (124.4±27.0)s,P<0.05).Conclusion TMP shows obvious antidepressant-like activity.
