ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To optimize the formulation technology of Ibuprofen sustained-release dropping pill and evaluate its in vitro drug-release characteristics. METHODS:Using stearic acid as sustained-release matrix,polyethylene glycol 6000 as imme-diate-release matrix,melting method was used to prepare the Ibuprofen sustained-release dropping pill. Using the comprehensive scores of roundness,weight difference,drug loading rate,in vitro drug-release time as indexes,drug-matrix mass ratio,liquid tem-perature,condensation temperature,dropping distance as factors,orthogonal test was adopted to optimize the formulation technolo-gy,and verification test was conducted. In media of deionized water,hydrochloric acid solution (pH 1.2),phosphate buffer (pH 4.5,6.8),the in vitro drug-release were compared between self-made sustained-release dropping pill and commercially available Ibuprofen sustained-release capsule,which were fitted for former drug-release behavior. RESULTS:The optimal formulation tech-nology was as follows as mass ratio of ibuprofen-polyethylene glycol 6000-stearic acid of 4.0:15.3:0.7,liquid temperature of 83 ℃,condensation temperature of 8 ℃,and dropping distance of 11 cm. The weight difference of prepared 3 batches of Ibupro-fen sustained-release dropping pill was 2.067%(RSD=1.19%),roundness was 96.73%(RSD=0.28%),drug loading rate was 96.31%(RSD=0.19%),cumulative release rate in 12 h was 93.05%(RSD=0.81%). The f2 values of self-made sustained-re-lease dropping pill and commercially available Ibuprofen sustained-release capsule were greater than 50,the former one fitted more into Higucci equation(r=0.9881-0.9972). CONCLUSIONS:The formulation technology of Ibuprofen sustained-release dropping pill is successfully optimized,and in vitro drug-release behavior of prepared sustained-release dropping pill is similar to commercial-ly available Ibuprofen sustained-release capsule.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the role and the mechanism of ppk1 gene (coding for polyphosphate kinase 1) in oxidative stress resistance in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).MethodsMutant strains with ppk1-deletion (△pk1) and complemented strains (△pk1-C) were constructed based on the UPEC strain CFT073.A comparative analysis was conducted to analyze survival rates of CFT073, △pk1 and △pk1-C strains at different time points while they were under oxidative stress.Differences in protein expression between CFT073 and △pk1 strains were analyzed using mass spectrometric analysis.Differences between CFT073 and △pk1 strains in expression of katG and katE genes were analyzed using real-time quantitative RT-PCR.Results The survival rate of △pk1 strains was lower than that of CFT073 strains at every time point, while the survival rate of △pk1-C strains was basically the same as that of CFT073 strains.Gel image analysis and mass spectrometric analysis revealed that six proteins were down-regulated and one was up-regulated in △pk1 strains as compared with those in CFT073 strains.Expression of the catalase-coding genes katG and katE in △pk1 strains were respectively (20.5±8.2)% and (20.9±6.9)% of those in CFT073 strains (P<0.05).Conclusion The ppk1 gene plays an important role in oxidative stress resistance in UPEC by modulating the expression of catalase-coding genes katG and katE.

ABSTRACT
Objective Using chemically synthesized small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfected HepG2.2.15 cells to construct a cell model in interfering hepatitis B virus (HBV) X gene, studying the inhibi-tion of HBV replication and antigen expression in vitro. Methods After transfection of HepG2.2.15 cell for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, detecting the cell supernatant of HBsAg and HBeAg by chemiluminescence immunoassay, the cell supernatant HBxAg protein by ELISA , the HBx mRNA relative expression of transfected cell was detected by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the ability of cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay. Results After HBx-siRNA transfected HepG2.2.15 cells, cell proliferation ability was inhibited. The cell of HBx mRNA and the cell supernatant of HBxAg expression decreased (P < 0.05); at the same time it in-hibited the expression of HBsAg and HBeAg. The suppressed peak and the inhibition rate were 66% and 58%respectively at 72 h. The fluorescence quantitative PCR confirmed that expression of HBV DNA in the super-natant was decreased. Conclusion The HepG2.2.15 cell interference model of HBV X gene has been success-fully constructed, which has an effect of inhibiting proliferation of HepG2.2.15 cells and replication and expres-sion of HBV gene in vitro.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the performance of two-dimensional echocardiography and CDFI of metastatic cervical lymph nodes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma before and after induction chemotherapy,and to predict the short-term effect of the lymph nodes after sequential chemoradiotherapy.Methods Forty patients with sixty-five metastatic cervical lymph nodes which were confirmed as nasopharyngeal carcinoma by biopsy and CT were studied.CDFI was used to observe its size,the peak systolic velocity (PSV),resistivity index (RI),and record its classification of blood flow before and after induction chemotherapy,after radiotherapy 1 to 2 months for ultrasound,respectively,and the measured values and short-term effect in cervical lymph node metastasized were compared.Results According to the changes of blood supply after induction chemotherapy,lymph nodes were divided into three groups,the group of improve blood supply was given priority (55 ％),blood supply to reduce and no change groups were 23 ％,22％,respectively.After induction chemotherapy and sequential radiotherapy,all lymph nodes were narrow,regression rate after induction chemotherapy in blood supply to reduce,improve and no change groups were 52％,36％,25％,respectively,the regression rates of sequential chemoradiotherapy were 90％,81％,70％,respectively,among three groups are in degressive tendency,differences were significant (P ＜ 0.05).The blood supply changes after induction chemotherapy related well with the regression rate of chemotherapy(r =0.572,P =0.000) and sequential radiotherapy(r =0.553,P =0.000).The regression rate of chemotherapy related well with the regression rate of sequential chemoradiotherapy(r =0.621,P =0.000).After chemotherapy three groups of lymph node RI decreased,the difference was significant compared with that before treatment (P ＜ 0.05).After chemotherapy the groups to reduce and improve of PSV had significant differences compare with that before treatment (P ＜ 0.05),the group of blood supply no change of PSV had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Application of CDFI can clearly and accurately observe changes of metastatic cervical lymph nodes from nasopharyngeal carcinoma before and after induction chemotherapy,and the changes of blood supply and size after induction chemotherapy can predict the short-term effect after chemoradiotherapy.
