Objective To analyze the structure and component of gouty tophus around joint, and provide basis to select solvent of gouty tophus and surgical cleaning method.Methods The sample of gouty tophus were obtained from 6 patients in 187 hospital of PLA from January2016 to December 2017, which were rinsed by distilled water, and then dried and accepted other dispose.The sample were analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope and thermal gravimetric analyzer.Results Sodium urate was the main component of the uratoma, the proportion was 56％;the organic component was about 14％of the uratoma.The microstructure of the uratoma under scanning electron microscope have two forms, the one looks like column crystal and the other like granules head up to lump.Conclusion The main component of the gouty tophus are sodium urate and organic tissues, the possible solvent should react on the both of them.
Résumé
Curcumin, a polyphenolic compound from the plant Curcuma longa L., has shown a wide-spectrum of anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities. Despite the promising biological effects of curcumin, its poor solubility has restricted its use in the management of human ailments. To improve its water-solubility, curcumin succinate prodrugs were designed and synthesized and their aqueous solubility, stability, metabolism in rats and anti-inflammatory activity were evaluated (experiments had been approved by the ethics committee and carried out in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations; rats were provided by Beijing courtyard experimental animal center of Academy of Military Medical Sciences). The results showed that curcumin succinate prodrugs are very soluble in water and more stable than curcumin in water and in phosphate buffer solution. They released curcumin rapidly and quantitatively after intravenous administration. In phlogogen-induced paw edema in rats, curcumin succinate prodrugs showed anti-inflammatory activity as potent as dexamethasone.
