Culture of dendritic cells in vitro and its anti-tumor immunotherapy / 中国肺癌杂志

<p><b>BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE</b>Immunocompromised patients with malignant tumor always lack of strong anti-tumor immune response, because the antigenicity of tumor cells is weak, and antigen-presenting cell function is low, so that can not be effectively presenting tumor antigens to the lymphocytes. Therefore, how to effectively induce anti-tumor immune response is the key issue. Through the study on establishing a method to culture dendritic cells (DC) in vitro and to observe the anti-lung cancer immunological effect induced by DC, we provided definite experiment basis for the clinic application of vaccine based on DC.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Through the experiment we get the soluble antigen polypeptide from lung cancer cells GLC-82 by 3 mol/L potassium chloride. DCs are cultured and obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cell by GM-CSF, IL-4 and TNF-a. DCs are identified by flow cytometer (FCM) and immunostaining. DCs modified by lung cancer tumor soluble antigen (TSA) and staphylococcal enterotox in A (SEA), DCs modified by TSA or DCs modified by SEA or DCs modified by nothing were cultivated together with T lymphocyte, and the obtained cells are named TSA-SEA-DCL or TSA-DCL or SEA-DCL or DCL as effector cells. The anti-tumor activity of every effector cells against target cells was assayed with MT method. Shape of DCs and effector cells, and the process of killing target cells were observed in microscope.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Induced DCs expressed more CD1a, CD80 and HLA-DR, which had typical cell traits such as tree branch. The killing ratio of the TSA-SEA-DCL in vitro to GLC-82 is larger than TSA-DCL, SEA-DCL and DCL, also larger than to K562. When the effector cells cultivate with target cells, we can observe the CTL approach and gather to the cancer cell, induce it necrosis and apoptosis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Ripe DCs that have typical characteristic and phenotype could be induced successfully. High potency and relatively specific antilung caner effect can be prepared in virtue ofDC Bacterin Induced by lung caner TSA and SEA.</p>

Pharmacokinetics and Bioequivalence of Secnidazole in Human Body / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the bioequivalence of domestic secnidazole tablet,capsule and imported secnidazole tablet in healthy volunteers.METHODS:18healthy volunteers were randomly divided into3groups according to a triple-cross design,all the volunteers were given a single dose of1g secnidazole,the interval for washout period of3times adminis?tration was14days.The plasma drug concentration of secnidazole was determined by HPLC-UV.RESULTS:The main pharmacokinetic parameters of homemade tablet and homemade capsule and imported tablet were as follow,t max were(2.00?1.93),(2.67?2.14)and(1.54?1.53)h respectively,t 1/2 were(28.56?4.98)、(29.69?6.81)and(27.16?5.06)h,C max were(25.50?2.74),(24.27?3.76)and(25.64?4.10)?g/ml respectively.AUC 0～t were(736.03?73.20),(704.78?88.51)and(737.77?76.02)(?g?h)/ml respcetively.AUC 0～∞ were(886.36?114.50),(864.57?172.27)and(870.64?100.21)(?g?h)/ml respectively.The relative bioavailability of homemade tablet was(100.02?6.73)%,and that of homemade capsule was(95.91?10.66)%.CONCLUSION:3preparations of secnidazole are bioequivalent.

Study on Pharmacokinetics and Bioequiavailability of Kushenin Tablets in Healthy Volunteers / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE: To study the endosomatic pharmacokinetics and bioequiavailability of kushenin tablets in health adults. METHODS: The blood concentrations of the blood samples taken from 22 healthy volunteers were determined by HPLC-MS after a single oral 0.3g kushenin (either tablet or capsule) dose and pretreatment with the internal standard (cimetidine) with m/z 265 (kushenin) taken as the detection ions and m/z 253 as the internal standard. RESULTS: The main pharmacokinetic parameters of the tablet and capsule of kushenin were as follows: t1/2 stood at (2.30?1.09)h and (1.90?0.58) h, respectively; tmax stood at (1.86?0.74)h and (1.68?0.55) h, respectively; Cmax stood at (525.09?208.94)ng/ml and (530.32?202.04) ng/ml, respectively; AUC0～11 stood at(2 048.5?749.4)(ng?h)/ml and (2 042.0?743.0)(ng?h)/ml, respectively;AUC0～∞ stood at(2 163.2?783.1)(ng?h)/ml and (2 136.4?792.1)(ng?h)/ml, respectively. The relative bioavailability of the kushenin tablet stood at (101.06?9.41) %. CONCLUSION:The tablet and capsule of kushenin were bioequiva_lent.

Comparison of three doses of enalapril in preventing left ventricular remodeling after acute myocardial infarction in the rat / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the effects of high, middle and low doses of enalapril in preventing left ventricular remodeling (LVRM) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in rats, especially evaluating the efficacy of low dose enalapril.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>AMI was induced by ligating the left coronary artery in 149 female SD rats. 48 hours after the procedure, the 97 surviving rats were randomized to one of the following four groups: (1) AMI controls (n = 24), (2) high-dose (10 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), n = 25), (3) middle-dose (1 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), n = 23), and (4) low-dose (0.1 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), n = 25) enalapril groups. In addition, sham-operated (n = 13) and normal rats (n = 10) were randomly selected to serve as non-infarction controls. Enalapril was delivered by direct gastric gavage. After 4 weeks of therapy, hemodynamic studies were performed, then the rat hearts were fixed with 10% formalin and pathology analysis was performed. Exclusive of the dead rats and those with MI size < 35% or > 55%, complete experimental data were obtained from 67 rats, which were comprised of (1) AMI controls (n = 13), (2) high-dose enalapril (n = 13), (3) middle-dose enalapril (n = 12), (4) low-dose enalapril (n = 12), (5) sham-operated (n = 8) and (6) normal (n = 9) groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There were no significant differences among the four AMI groups in infarction size (all P > 0.05). Compared with the sham-operated group, the left ventricular (LV) end diastolic pressure (LVEDP), volume (LVV), absolute and relative weight (LVAW, LVRW) in AMI group were all significantly increased (all P < 0.001), while maximum LV pressure rising and dropping rates (+/- dp/dt) and their corrected values by LV systolic pressure (+/- dp/dt/LVSP) were all significantly reduced in the AMI control group (P < 0.01 - 0.001), indicating LVRM occurred and LV systolic and diastolic functions were impaired. Compared with the AMI group, LVEDP, LVV, LVAW and LVRW were all significantly decreased in the three enalapril groups (control P < 0.001), with the reduction of LVEDP, LVV and LVAW being more significant in high-dose than in low-dose enalapril groups (all P < 0.05), and the +/- dp/dt/LVSP were significantly increased only in the high and middle-dose enalapril groups (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>High, middle and low doses of enalapril were all effective in preventing LVRM after AMI in the rat, with low dose enalapril being effective and high dose superior. As for LV functional improvement, only high and middle-dose enalapril were effective.</p>
