ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the pharmacokinetic interaction between cefalor and bromhexine in healthy Chinese volunteers. Methods Twelve subjects received a cefaclor (CEF) treatment, a bromhexine (BHX) treatment, and a co-treatment of CEF and BHX with a 3 × 3 Latin square design. The wash-out time between periods was 14 days. The plasma and urine drug concentrations of CEF and BHX were detected by HPLC-UV and LC/MS, respectively. Results All the 12 volunteers completed the study. There were no significant differences in AUC0-t and Cmax of CEF in logarithm between the single administration group of CEF and the co-administration group of CEF with BHX. Two one sided t-test showed that CEF was bioequivalent in the 2 groups. There were no significant differences in tmax, MRT, t1/2, and Clr between the 2 groups. Vd/F was significantly lower in the single CEF group than in the co-administration group of CEF and BHX. There were no significant differences of AUC0-t and Cmax of BHX in logarithm between the single administration group of BHX and the co-administration group of BHX with CEF. Two one sided t-test showed that BHX was bioequivalent in the 2 groups. There were no significant differences in tmax, MRT, t1/2, Vd/F, and Clr between the 2 groups. Conclusion There is no significant pharmacokinetic parameter change in the drug absorption, metabolism, and excretion, but Va/F of CEF significant increases in the co-administration of CEF with BHX. The co-administration of CEF and BHX has no adverse drug interaction. The increase of Vd/F may be a favorable drug interaction, which may be the mechanism of the synergistic effect of the 2 drugs.

ABSTRACT
Aim To study the anti-inflammator y and antiallergic effects of polysaccharide nucleic acid fraction of bacillus cal mette guerin (BCG-PSN). Methods Effect of BCG-PSN on itch thr eshold of guinea pigs caused by phosphoric acid histamine, ear oedema of mice ca used by xylene, carrageenan-induced hind paw oedema in rats, delayed hypersensi tivity reaction induced by 2,4-dinitroflurobenzene in mice, homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in rats and heterologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in mice were investigated. BCG-PSN was administered intramuscularly every other d ay for three weeks. Results BCG-PSN(0.1,0.2,0.4 mg?kg -1) had no effect on itch threshold of guinea pigs caused by phosphoric aci d histamine. In mice, BCG-PSN(0.15,0.30,0.60 mg?kg -1) significant ly inhibited ear oedema caused by xylene and heterologous passive cutaneous anap hylaxis in a dose-dependent manner. BCG-PSN at the dose of 0.60 mg?kg -1 also significantly inhibited delayed hypersensitivity reaction induced by 2,4 -dinitroflurobenzene in mice. In rats, BCG-PSN(0.1,0.2,0.4 mg?kg -1 )significantly inhibited carrageenan-induced hind paw oedema and homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis. Conclusion BCG-PSN inhibites ac ute inflammation, immediate type allergy and delayed type allergy.
ABSTRACT
AIM: The aim of this study is to investigate the acute inhibitory effects of adrenomedullin(ADM 1-52 ) on hypoxia pulmonary hypertension and its influence on systemic blood pressure. METHODS: Thirty-six male Wistar rats were divided into two groups. Eighteen were exposed to hypoxia for 21 days as hypoxic pulmonary hypertension group,and another eighteen were kept in ambient as control group. Each group were divided into three subgroups which were injected intravenously with ADM 0 1 nmol/kg, 0 3 nmol/kg, 1 nmol/kg, respectively,then hemodynamic parameters were recorded. Plasma cyclic adenosine 3,5,-monophosphate (cAMP) was measured by radioimmunoassay before,during and after injection of 0.3nmol/kg adrenomedullin(ADM 1-52 ). RESULTS: Mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP)in the hypoxia and control rats treated with ADM decreased, the fall in hypoxia rats is more obviously than control( P
