Preparation of triptolide-loaded dissolving microneedles and its transdermal penetration / 中国中药杂志

Triptolide(TP), the main active and toxic component of Tripterygium wilfordii, has the limitations of low bioavailability, poor absorption, low concentration in plasma, and small lethal dose. Microneedle(MN), the hybrid of hypodermic needle and transdermal patch, is a physical penetration-enhancing system. Dissolving microneedles(DMNs) can be tailored to specific needs of degradation rate. In this study, the TP-loaded DMNs(DMNs-TP) were prepared with the two-step centrifugation method. The optimal ratio of PVA to PVP K30, water content in matrix solution, demoulding method, and plasticizer for preparing DMNs were investigated with the indexes of formability and mechanical strength. The drug loading capacity was determined by HPLC and morphological characteristics were observed under an optical microscope. The mechanical properties were investigated by H&E staining and Franz diffusion cell was used to detect the in vitro skin permeation characteristics. Through the experiment, we confirmed that the optimal backing material should be PVA and PVP K30(3∶1) and the optimal ratio of matrix material to water should be 3∶4. The prepared DMNs-TP were pyramidal with smooth surface and length of approximately 550 μm. Each patch(2.75 cm~2) had the drug loading capacity of(153.41±2.29) μg, and TP was located in the upper part of the needle. The results of in vitro skin permeation assay demonstrated that the cumulative penetration of TP in DMNs-TP reached 80% in 24 h, while little TP solution penetrated the skin, which proved that DMNs promoted the transdermal delivery of TP.

Research progress on role of Chinese medicinal materials and their topical preparations in wound healing by regulating cytokines and growth factors / 中国中药杂志

Delayed-or non-healing wounds caused by trauma, surgical procedures, acute diseases, or chronic diseases, and proli-ferating scar have a serious impact on patients' quality of life and increase the economic and psychological burden on their families. Therefore, how to accelerate wound healing and obtain satisfactory aesthetic results is of great concern to researchers and is an urgent clinical problem to be solved. In recent years, the mechanisms of Chinese medicinal materials in accelerating wound healing and inhi-biting scar formation by regulating cytokines have been clarified, which provides a scientific basis for revealing the efficacy of Chinese medicinal materials against clinical trauma. This review focuses on the therapeutic effects of active ingredients, extracts, and topical preparations of Chinese medicinal materials through regulating cytokines in the inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling phases of wound healing. It is expected to provide evidence for the application of Chinese medicinal materials in wound therapy.

Substitution of cordyceps cephalosporium mycelia for cordyceps sinensis in the prescription of Shengjing Capsules: Enhanced effect on spermatogenesis impairment / 中华男科学杂志

<p><b>Objective</b>To screen out an effective substitute in the prescription of Shengjing Capsules (SJC), observe the effects of the redeveloped New SJC (NSJC) with cordyceps cephalosporium mycelia (CCM) substituted for the ingredient cordyceps sinensis in the treatment of spermatogenesis impairment (SI), and provide some experimental evidence for its application in the treatment of male infertility and sexual dysfunction.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We equally randomized 192 male mice into 16 groups: normal saline control, SI model, high-, medium- and low-dose fermented cordycepin powder (FCP, 1.60, 0.80 and 0.40 g/kg), high-, medium- and low-dose CCM (1.60, 0.80 and 0.40 g/kg), high-, medium- and low-dose cordyceps mortierella mycelia (CMM, 1.60, 0.80 and 0.40 g/kg), high-, medium- and low-dose fermented cordyceps sinensis (FCS, 1.60, 0.80 and 0.40 g/kg), SJC (0.80 g/kg), and vitamin E (VE, 0.25 g/kg), with the SI model established in all the mice and the normal controls injected intraperitoneally with cyclophosphamide at 60 mg/kg qd for 5 consecutive days. After intragastrical medication with respective drugs, we obtained the body mass index (BMI), sexual organ coefficient, sperm count, sperm motility, and percentage of morphologically abnormal sperm (MAS) of the mice. We also randomly divided 70 male rats into 7 groups of equal number: normal control, SI model, high-, medium- and low-dose NSJC (1.12, 0.56 and 0.28 g/kg), SJC (0.56 g/kg), and VE (0.18 g/kg), the SI model constructed in the latter 6 groups of rats by gavage of adenine at 200 mg/kg qd for 5 consecutive days.

The effect was particularly significant in the CCM group and therefore CCM was chosen as the best substitute ingredient in the redeveloped NSJC. Compared with the rats in other groups, those treated with NSJC exhibited significant increases in the BMI, coefficients of sexual and renal organs and levels of serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2) (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), improvement of the pathologically damaged testicular morphology, elevation of the pregnancy rate and litter size, and recovery from adenine-induced SI.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The redeveloped New Shengjing Capsules with cordyceps cephalosporium mycelia substituted for the ingredient cordyceps sinensis can improve fertility and reverse spermatogenesis impairment in male rats.

Risk factors analysis of cytomegalovirus infection after nonmyeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation / 中国实验血液学杂志

The aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and CMV disease after nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(NST) and develop a rational strategy for the diagnosis, monitoring and preemptive treatment of CMV infection. The Clinical data of 80 patients undergoing NST from November 2009 to November 2012 in the hospital 307 were retrospectively analyzed. The cytomegalovirus load in peripheral blood of patients was detected by using RT-PCR. The results indicated that the incidence of CMV infection was 77.5% (62/80), and the median time for the positive CMV-DNA firstly detected by RT-PCR was day 35 (17-133) after NST. The total of 100-day cumulative incidence of CMV disease was 11.3%(9/80) after early preemptive therapy. Both univariate and multivariate analysis showed thymoglobulin (ATG) used in preconditioning regimen, other herpesvirus infection and fungal infection in medical history before NST were the risk factors of CMV infection after NST.Univariate analysis revealed that CMV viremia and ATG used in preconditioning regimen were the risk factors for CMV disease, while the same result was not found in the multivariate analysis.The incidence of CMV infection in patients with II-IV grade of aGVHD was 91.3%,while the incidence of CMV infection in patients with 0-1 grade of aGVHD was 71.9% (P = 0.06), it seems that II-IV grade of aGVHD was not the risk factor of CMV infection for NST. It is concluded that the ATG used in preconditioning regimen may increase the incidence of both CMV infection and CMV disease after NST. CMV infection easily accompanies by other herpesvirus infection and fungal infection.Therefore other herpesvirus infection and fungal infection should be attentively monitored and prevented after trans-plantation.

Evaluation of 18F-SFB-Annexin B1 in detecting apoptosis / 中华核医学杂志

Objective To evaluate 18F-N- succinimidyl -4-fluorobenzoate (SFB)-Annexin B1 in detectingin vitro andin vivo apoptosis. Methods Anti-Fas antibody was used to induce apoptosis in Jurkat cells. Apoptosis in Jurkat cells was confirmed by flow cytometer (FCM). Unilateral renal ischemia/reperfusion injury was induced by transient (45 min) ligation of the renal artery in the rabbit. The rabbit was then administrated with 18F-SFB-Annexin B1 intravenously 24 h later and then imaged by PET/CT at 10,30,60,90,120 and 240 min postinjection. Apoptosis in kidney was confirmed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay and HE staining. Results The apoptosis rate induced by anti-Fas antibody was 25.98%(120 min) while that in the control group was only 1.81%. The uptake of 18F-SFB-Annexin B1in apoptosis group was greater than that in the control group. PET/CT images at 240 min showed higher uptake in the ligated kidney than the non-ligated kidney. TUNEL assay and HE staining confirmed great amount apoptotic cells in the ligated kidney. Conclusion 18 F-SFB-Annexin B1may be potentially useful in detecting apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo.
