ABSTRACT
Objective:To improve the forming process of Jingning particle according to the influencing factors in its effectiveness, such as low yield, high moisture absorption and difficult dissolubility during oral administration. Methods:A new technology that im-mediate granulation after the extract was well mixed with lactose and dextrin and dried. The appearance, dissolubility, hygroscopicity and pellet formation rate ( granularity) were compared between the new technology and the old one, and the difference in critical rela-tive humidity was also studied. Results:The appearance, dissolubility and pellet formation rate of the new technology were all better than those of the old one, and the moisture absorption rate was reduced with the critical relative humidity up to 70%(25℃), which enhanced the granule stability. Conclusion:The pellet formation rate is improved by the new technology, which effectively solves the problems such as high moisture absorption and poor dissolubility, and the granule quality is improved.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of single and combined exposure to ozone and nitrogen dioxide on airway injury and inflammatory levels in mice. Methods Eighty BALB/C mice were randomly divided into eight groups:four were sensitized model groups(the control group,the O3 group,the NO2 group and the O3+NO2 group based on the way of exposure) ,the other four were non-sensitized groups. The concentration of O3 was 0.16 mg/m3,NO2 was 0.30 mg/m3. Mice were exposed 2 hours every day for 7 consecutive days. Mice were sacrificed in the exposure end and cell counting and cytokine measurement from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were performed. Results In the sensitized groups,neutrophil proportion and IL-6 were significantly increased except the control group and IL-2 and MDA were also significantly increased in the O3 group and the O3+NO2 group(P
