Biocompatibility evaluation of electrospun PLCL/fibrinogen nanofibers in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction / 生物医学工程学杂志

The study aimed to evaluate the safety and function of poly(lactic-acid-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL)/fibrinogen nanofibers (P/F-Ns), and provide theoretical basis for the clinical application. The surface morphology, mechanical properties, the hydrophilicity and the fibrinogen content of P/F-Ns were tested by scanning electron microscope, the material testing machine, the contact angle meter and the microplate reader, respectively. The cell adhesion, proliferation and ligament remodeling genes expression of Hig-82 cells on P/F-Ns were conducted through cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and real-time quantitative PCR analyses, respectively. The results showed that with the increase of the fibrinogen content, the pore sizes and hydrophilicity of three P/F-Ns increased, but the mechanical properties decreased. Cell adhesion and proliferation tests showed that P/F-N-2 held the best ability to promote cell adhesion and proliferation. The ligament remodeling genes expressions of Hig-82 cells on P/F-N-1, P/F-N-2 and P/F-N-3 were all up-regulated compared to P/F-N-0 on days 3 and 7. All the three P/F-Ns containing fibrinogen (P/F-N-1, P/F-N-2 and P/F-N-3) had better biocompatibility compared to P/F-N-0, and could be efficiently applied to the reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament.

Effect and nursing of Mayinglong musk hemorrhoids ointment on anus periderm skin damage of fecal incontinence patients / 现代临床护理

Objective To study the effect and nursing of Mayinglong musk hemorrhoids ointment on anus periderm skin damage of fecal incontinence patients. Methods Thirty-one patients with fecal incontinence-induced anus periderm skin damage from March 2012 to February 2013 in the hospital were set as the control group and another 32 patients with the same disease from March 2013 to January 2014 as the observation group. The anus periderm skin damage of the observation group was treated with Mayinglong musk hemorrhoids ointment 3 to 4 times a day. The anus periderm skin damage of the control group were treated with zinc oxide ointment, 3 to 4 times a day. Both groups used ostomy. The two groups were compared in terms of total effective rate in a month. Result The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.8% and the control group was 71.0%, with significant difference between the groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Mayinglong musk hemorrhoids ointment can be more effective in the treatment of fecal incontinence caused by anus periderm skin damage than zinc oxide ointment. It can improve the effect of treatment and reduce local wound pain. It is convenient to use, cheap and thus worthy of clinical popularization and application.

Study on pharmacokinetics of silibinin capsule in Chinese healthy volunteers / 中国药理学通报

Aim To investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of silibinin in Chinese healthy volunteers.Methods Nine Chinese male healthy volunteers were divided into receiving orally a single dose of silibinin capsule corresponded 70,140 and 280 mg of silibinin,respectively,in Latin square design study.After administration of silibinin capsule,the plasma concentrations were determined by HPLC with UV detection.The pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed by Topfit 2.0 program.Results The linearity of this method was found to be from 3.125 to 10 000 μg·L~(-1) with a lower limit of quantitation(LLOQ) of 3.125 μg·L~(-1) for silibinin.The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated as the follows:at the three different dosages(70,140 and 280 mg),T_(1/2) was 2.44,2.38 and 2.47 h;C_(max) was 1135.6,2841.1 and 3946.9 μg·L~(-1);T_(max) was 1.35,1.26 and 1.39 h;AUC_(0-11 h) was 1287.2,3337.8 and 5398.5 μg·h·L~(-1);AUC_(0-∞)was 1300.7,3377.1 and 5453.9 μg·h·L~(-1);CL/F was 1062.1,824.7 and 943.2 ml·min~(-1);And V_d was 219.9,167.1 and 212.0 L,respectively.Conclusions The developed method is shown to be sensitive,accurate and simple,and can satisfy the requirement of pharmacokinetic study of silibinin in human.The C_(max),AUC_(0-11 h) and AUC_(0-∞) of silibinin in Chinese healthy volunteers(in ranges of 40～120 mg)are fitted with non-linear kinetic model,while there are no significant differences in T_(1/2) at the three different dosages.
