RESUMEN
Objective To study the pharmacokinetics of raltitrexed using different ways of drug delivery, including femoral venous infusion, hepatic artery perfusion, hepatic artery injection of lipiodol suspension, hepatic artery perfusion followed by embolization with Gelfoam. Methods According to the administration way of raltitrexed, a total of 40 New Zealand rabbit models with VX2 liver tumor were randomly divided into group A (femoral venous perfusion), group B (hepatic arterial perfusion), group C (hepatic artery injection of lipiodol suspension), and group D(hepatic artery perfusion followed by embolization with Gelfoam). Drug concentration in plasma were determined by using LC-MS/MS method and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. Results After administration of raltitrexed, the Tmax was 5 minutes in all 4 groups. In group A, B, C and D, the values were (5.88±1.39), (7.31±2.60), (9.86±5.10) and (7.19±2.27) respectively, with group C having the longest t1/2 value, which was significantly different with that of group A (P＜0.05); the (ng·ml-1·h-1) values were (2 056.40± 139.17), (1 389.21±180.28), (911.84±105.62) and (1 133.41±181.42)respectively, with the value of group A being obviously higher than that of group B, C and D (P＜0.05) and the value of group C being the lowest; the AUC0-t(ng· ml-1·h-1) values were (5 482.72±1 007.07), (4 156.99±1 475.77), (2 785.13±1 107.36) and (3 903.64±947.25) respectively, with the value of group A being remarkably higher than that of group B, C and D (P＜0.05) and the value of group C being the lowest. Conclusion Compared with the femoral vein infusion way, the ways of hepatic artery infusion, hepatic artery lipiodol suspension injection and hepatic artery perfusion followed by embolization with Gelfoam may promote more raltitrexed to deposit in the tumor area, thus, the curative effect is enhanced, the drug concentration in plasma is lowered and the side effects are alleviated.
RESUMEN
@#Objective To investigate the effect of Puerarin on expression of C-reactive protein(CRP)in iliac artery of atherosclerotic rabbits.Methods Twenty male New Zealand white rabbits were divided into the normal control group(n=6,fed on a normal diet),basic control group(n=8,fed on a cholesterol diet)and Puerarin group(n=8,fed on a cholesterol diet).The balloon injury of iliac arteries was performed in animals of the basic control group and Puerarin group,and the animals of the Puerarin group were injected with Puerarin(25 mg/kg/d per rabbit)after injury.Four weeks after balloon injury,untreated and balloon injury iliac arteries were harvested for immunocytochemical staining.The mRNA and protein expression of CRP were tested by RT-PCR and immunucytochemistry.Results The mRNA and expression of CRP in atheroseclerotic plaque of iliac artery in the Puerarin group was significantly lower than that in the basic control group(P<0.01).Conclusion Puerarin can make atheroseclerotic plaque stable by regulating of the expression of CRP in iliac artery of atherosclerotic rabbit.
