ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To provide reference for clinically safe and rational drug use through mining and analyzing adverse drug event （AE） signals induced by valproic acid （VPA）. METHODS Reporting Odds Ratio （ROR） and Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network （BCPNN） methods of Measures of Disproportionality were performed to mine and analyze the data of VPA-related AE reports in the US FDA Adverse Event Reporting System （FAERS） database from the first quarter of 2013 to the fourth quarter of 2022. RESULTS A total of 1 253 （ROR） and 1 109 （BCPNN） valid signals of preferred terms （PT） were obtained after data processing by the two analysis methods， involving 27 system organs （SOC）， mainly focusing on nervous system disorders， psychiatric disorders， general disorders and administration site conditions. Signals that did not appear in the instruction were associated with 2 SOCs： ear and labyrinth disorders， infections and infestations. CONCLUSIONS As a first-line broad-spectrum anti-epileptic drug， attention should also be paid to eye toxicity and infection risk in the clinical application in addition to paying attention to common adverse events in the instruction.
ABSTRACT
Objective To prepare a kind of Gelsolin-targeted ultrasound contrast agent (GSN-PLGA) and to explore its targeting and imaging effection in vitro.Methods The high molecular PLGA-COOH ultrasound contrast agents were prepared by a modified double emulsion technique and then conjugated with Gelsolin monoclonal antibody by carbodiimide technique.The physical property of contrast agent was determined.And the connectivity condition of ultrasound contrast agent with Gelsolin monoclonal antibody was estimated.The targeting ability and the effect of enhancing ultrasound imaging in vitro were explored.Results The average diameter of GSN-PLGA was (575.67 ± 4.71) nm.The potential was (-11.46±1.19) mV.And the binding rate of Gelsolin monoclonal antibody was 96.93％.In vitro experimentshowed more GSN-PLGA could be intaked by Hca-F cells and the ultrasound imaging cloud be enhanced greatly.Conclusion The GSN-PLGA nanoparticle can bind to Hca-F cells specifically and can enhance the ultrasound imaging greatly.
ABSTRACT
In this study cationic and heparinized polyurethanes (PUs) were synthesized by a two-step solution polymerized method. Cationic and heparinized PUs were investigated by infrared spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) and turbidity method. At the same time, the PUs proved of good biocompatibility through the laboratory tests, including blood coagulation time (CT), activated partial thromb plastin time (APTT) and fibroblast culture. These materials have good biocompatible function.
