Study on anti-cataract effect of gigantol combined with syringic acid and their mechanism / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the anti-cataract effect of gigantol combined with syringic acid and their action mechanism.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>H202-induced lens oxidative injury in vitro rat model was establish to observe the impact of gigantol combined with syringic acid on lens transparency under a dissecting microscope. D-galactose-induced cataract rat model was established to observe the impact of gigantol combined with syringic acid on lens transparency under a slit-lamp. UV spectrophotometry was adopted to detect the inhibitory activity of gigantol combined with syringic acid against AR. Molecular docking method was used to detect binding sites, binding types and pharmacophores of gigantol combined with syringic acid in prohibiting aldose reductase.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Both in vitro and in vivo experiments showed a good anti-sugar cataract activity in the combination of gigantol and syringic acid and a better collaborative effect than single component-gigantol and syringic acid and positive control drug Catalin. Molecular docking and dynamic simulation showed their collaborative AR-inhibiting amino acid residue was Asn160 and the major acting force was Van der Waals' force, which formed common pharmacophores.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Gigantol combined with syringic acid shows good anti-cataract, their action mechanism is reflected in their good collaborative inhibitory effect on AR.</p>

Discussion on the Suitable Concentration of Potassium Permanganate Collyria in the Clinic / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To provide recommendation for the clinic on the optimal application concentration of potassium permanganate collyria.METHODS:3different concentrations of potassium permanganate collyria were prepared,the local ir-ritation of2of which on eyes of115conjunctivitis cases receiving conjunctival sac irrigation and the effects of the3different concentrations of potassium permanganate collyria on the comfort degree,corneal epithelium and bacterial colonies before and after eye irrigation of18pairs of oculus normalis receiving conjunctival sac irrigation were observed.RESULTS:Of the total115conjunctivitis cases,98(about85%)complained to have severe irritation;8cases(about7%)felt unbearable because of the strong irritation.Degree of comfort decreased with the elevation of concentration of collyria,while failed to have any effect on corneal epithelium and the numbers of bacterial colonies before and after irrigation.CONCLUSION:The recommended concentration of100ml∶1.5mg of potassium permanganate collyria for the irrigation of conjunctival sac in the clinic.

Medication Analysis of 564 Cases with Cataract Extraction / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To get to know the preoperative and postoperative medication of patients with cataract.METHODS:The preoperative and postoperative medication of 564 cases with cataract extraction in our hospital from September 2004 to October 2004 was analyzed statistically.RESULTS:Antibacterial eye gutta was mainly used before cataract extraction while compound eye gutta containing antiseptic drugs and glucocorticosteroid were chiefly used after cataract operation.CONCLUSION:The preoperative and postoperative medication for patients with cataract in our hospital was reasonable.
