ABSTRACT
To investigate theological properties of common hydrophilic gel excipients such as Carbopol based on viscosity, the viscosity was determined by rotation method and falling-ball method. Linear regression was made between ln(eta) and concentration, the slope of which was used to explore the relation between viscosity and concentration of different excipients. The viscosity flow active energy (E(eta)) was calculated according to Arrhenius equation and was used to investigate the relation between viscosity and temperature of different excipients. The results showed that viscosities measured by two methods were consistent. Concentration of guargum (GG) and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) solution had a great influence on the viscosity, k > 5; while concentration of polyvinylpyrrolidone-K30 (PVP-K30) and polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG6000) exerted a less effect on viscosity, k < 0.2; viscosity flow active energy of different excipients were close, which ranged from 30 to 40 kJ x mol(-1). Therefore, theological properties study could provide the basis for application of excipients and establish a foundation for the research of relation between excipients structure, property and function.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of traditional Chinese medicine internal and external treatment on chronic osteomyelitis.Method Chronic osteomyelitis experimental animal models were set up with debridement, then it was random divided into two groups ( antibiotics group for the control group, antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine group for the observation group).After treatment for 10 days, new capillaries in the tissues surrounding sinus crossings were detected by pathological observation and VEGF expression was determined by ELISA.Result VEGF expression and vascular points of tissues surrounding sinus crossings of antibiotics with traditional Chinese medicine group were obviously higher than that of antibiotics group[ (47.48 ±3.22) μg/ml vs (28.26 ±2.61)μg/ml, P ＜0.01;8.03 ±1.73 vs5.17 ±2.89, P＜0.05 ].Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine internal and external treatment can improve VEGF expression and increase capillary number inside tissues surrounding sinus.crossings , thus it can promote the healing of chronic osteomyelitis.
