ABSTRACT
Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） effervescent tablets have the characteristics of rapid disintegration， good taste， and convenient taking， but there are some technical difficulties in the preparation and storage process， which are mainly reflected in the sticking， easy moisture absorption， poor compressibility， and poor stability. The basic physical properties of TCM powder （extract powder， raw powder） are the main cause of these technical problems， and also the key to control the quality of TCM effervescent tablets. Powder modification technology has shown good effects in solving the above problems. The author intended to review the research in the above aspects in recent years， and proposed the following strategies for applying powder modification technology to solve the problems in the production process of TCM effervescent tablets from the three aspects of raw materials， excipients and preparation intermediates：①The application of co-processing technology to the treatment of raw materials and auxiliary materials can solve the problems of sticking， poor compressibility， delayed disintegration， and poor stability. ②Using surface coating technology to treat raw materials and preparation intermediates can improve poor fluidity， poor compressibility and delayed disintegration. ③The hygroscopicity of the preparation can be reduced by using microencapsulation technology to treat the raw material. ④The inclusion technology can improve the clarity and stability of the preparation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical curative effect of Gong Yanping capsule combined with recombinant human interferon α2b vaginal effervescent tablets in the treatment of human papillomavirus infection.Methods80 cases of patients with cervical HPV infection in Xiangshan hospital of traditional Chinese medicine from May 2014 to May 2016 were selected, these patients were divided into Gong Yanping capsule combined with interferon treatment group (combined treatment group, 40cases) and pure Gongyanping capsule treatment group (single treatment group, 40cases) two groups according to the treatment methods, the clinical curative effects, HPV-DNA levels, HPV infection status, incidences of adverse reactions of the two groups were statistically analyzed.ResultsThe clinical total efficiency of the combined treatment group 95% (38/40) was significantly higher than the single treatment group 80% (32/40) (P<0.05), the HPV-DNA level was significantly lower (P<0.05), the HPV infection negative rate 1 months after treatment 2.5% (1/40) was significantly lower than the single treatment group 10% (4/40) (P<0.05), the negative rates 2 months, 3 months after treatment 67.5% (27/40), 97.5% (39/40) were significantly higher than the single treatment group 40% (16/40), 77.5% (31/40) (P<0.05);The difference of incidences of adverse reactions between the two groups 12.5% (5/40), 7.5% (3/40) was not significant.ConclusionThe clinical curative effect of Gong Yanping capsule combined with Recombinant Human Interferon α2b Vaginal Effervescent Tablets in the treatment of human papillomavirus infection is more significant than pure Gongyanping capsule treatment, it will not increase the adverse reactions of patients in a great extent, is safe and effective.
ABSTRACT
AIM To investigate the effects of Tongluo Xingnao Effervescent Tablets (Chuanxiong Rhizoma,Angelicae sinensis Radix and Scutellariae Radix) on the learning and memory function in SAMP8 mice,and improvements in cognitive function.METHODS Morris water maze was used to evaluate the change of cognitive function in SAMP8 mice after they were treated with Tongluo Xingnao Effervescent Tablets for 60 d,and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD),the concentration of protein carbonyls (PC),the ratio of NAD +/NADH in brain tissue were detected by ELISA,the expression of Nampt,SIRT1 and FOXO3 in hippocampus were measured with immunohistochemical methods.RESULTS Tongluo Xingnao Effervescent Tablets shortened escape latency and obviously increased percentage of time in target quadrant in hidden platform test and increased the times entering the target quadrant in spatial probe test in SAMP8 mice.It evidently enhanced the activity of SOD,the ratio of NAD +/NADH and distinctly decreased the protein carbonyls level.Moreover,Tongluo Xingnao Effervescent Tablets could markedly up-regulate the expression of Nampt and SIRT1,but evidently down-regulate FOXO3 protein expression.CONCLUSION The experimental data show that Tongluo Xingnao Effervescent Tablets can enhance the cognitive function of SAMP8 through regulating Nampt/SIRT1/FOXO3 signal pathway.
ABSTRACT
The study was to explore effects of Tongluo Xingnao effervescent tablets on the blood rheology, iNOS, VEGF and LDH-5 in multi-infarct dementia(MID) model rats. Establish MID model rats were induced by microthrombosis, from which 50 successful model rats were randomly divided into five groups, such as the model control group, the dihydroergotoxine mesylate tablets(hydergine) group(0.7 mg•kg⁻¹), Tongluo Xingnao effervescent tablets high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose groups(7.56, 3.78, 1.89 g•kg⁻¹). Another ten rats in the sham group were randomly selected as the parallel control group. Each group was orally administered with drugs for 90 days. The learning and memory ability was evaluated with the Morris water maze test, while the whole blood viscosity and the erythrocyte aggregation index derived from abdominal aorta were measured in different shear rates. In addition, the levels of VEGF and iNOS in the serum were determined by ELISA kits. The expression of LDH-5 in hippocampus of rats was measured with immunohistochemistry and image quantitative analysis. The result showed that Tongluo Xingnao effervescent tablets notably decreased the escape latency of MID model rats, increased times of entering into the escape platform and prolonged retention time in medium ring, meanwhile the whole blood viscosity in MID model rats was also notably reduced in four shear rates, i.e. 1, 5, 30, 200 S⁻¹, erythrocyte aggregation index, serum VEGF and iNOS, and average optical density value of LDH-5, with a statistically significant differences compared with the model control group (P<0.05). In conclusion, Tongluo Xingnao effervescent tablets could improve the ability of learning and memory of MID model rats and the blood rheology, reduce the level of iNOS, VEGF and the expression of LDH-5, and then improved the brain energy supply.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the efficacy of ciclopirox olamine vaginal suppositories combined with fluconazole in the treat-ment of vulvovaginal candidasis. Methods:Totally 74 cases of vulvovaginal candidasis( VVC)infection were randomly divided into two groups with 37 ones in each. The control group orally received fluconazole combined with terbinafine hydrochloride vaginal effervescent tablets,and the observation group orally received fluconazole combined with ciclopirox olamine vaginal suppositories. The recent(7 days)and long-term(1 and 3 months)clinical curative effects and the drug safety in the two groups were observed and compared. Re-sults:after the 7-day treatment,the total clinical effective rate of the two groups showed no significant difference(P>0. 05);after the 1-month follow-up,the recurrence rate of the two groups had no significant difference(P>0. 05);after the 3-month follow-up,the re-currence rate of the observation group(2. 7%)was significantly lower than that of the control group(22. 2%,P<0. 05). The two groups showed no serious adverse drug reactions. Conclusion:Fluconazole combined with ciclopirox olamine vaginal suppositories in the treatment of vulvovaginal candidasis exhibits promising curative effect and low recurrence rate without serious adverse reactions.
