Absorption, distribution and elimination of (59)Fe- corn polysaccharide iron complex in rats: a study with radioactivity isotope tracing / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a method for detecting plasma concentration of corn polysaccharide iron complex (CPIC) and investigate its absorption, distribution and elimination in rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Using radioactivity isotope tracing method, we detected the radioactivity of (59)Fe-CPIC in the plasma of rats at different time points by gavages of 3 doses (28.0, 14.0, and 7.0 mg/kg) (59)Fe-CPIC in SD rats. The pharmacokinetic parameters was obtained using DAS 2.0 program for analysis of tissue distribution and elimination of (59)Fe-CPIC.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The standard curve was linear within the range of 0.14-141 µg/ml (r=0.9999, n=5). The average recovery was 95% with a relative standard deviation no more than 15%. The pharmacokinetic parameters at 3 doses obtained, namely t1/2 and AUC (0-), were 214∓104, 231∓110, and 181∓81 min, and 1986.3∓513.3, 737.0∓467.0, and 315.1∓226.1 mg·min-1·L(-)1, respectively. (59)Fe-CPIC were detected in all the 13 tissues types examined and high radioactivity intensity was found in the gastrointestinal tract, hematogenic organs and other organs rich in blood. (59)Fe-CPIC was eliminated after intragastric administration primarily via the feces in rats.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The method we established is easy and specific, and the pharmacokinetic parameters of (59)Fe-CPIC fit the two- compartment open model.</p>

The relationship between coagulation/anticoagulation imbalance and oxidative stress in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease / 中华内科杂志

Objective To explore the relationship between coagulation/anticoagulation imbalance and oxidative stress in the patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease during acute exacerbation (AECOPD)before and after treatment.Methods Plasma tissue factor(TF)and tissue factor pathway inhibitor(TFPl)activity was detected by chromogenic assay in 28 AECOPD patients before and after treatment as well as in 30 healthy controls.The total antioxidative capacity(TAC),malondialdehyde (MDA)and gtutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX)in plasma were measured in both groups.Results The levels of plasma TF and TFPI,and their ratio(TF/TFPI)in AECOPD patients before treatment were significantly higher than those after treatment(all P<0.0 1),the latter were still higher than those in the healthy persons(all P<0.01).The levels of the TAC and GSH-PX in plasma in AECOPD patients before treatment were significantly lower than those after treatment(all P<0.01),the latter were still lower than those in the healthy persons(all P<0.01).The plasma MDA in AECOPD patients before treatment was significantly higher than that after treatment(P<0.0 1),which was still higher than that in the healthy persons(P<0.05).There were negative correlations between TF/TFPI ratio and TAC(r=-0.518.P<0.01),GSH-PX(r=-0.454,P<0.05),PaO2(r=-0.511,P<0.01)respectively and a positive correlation between TF/TFPI ratio and the percentage of neutrophils(r=0.379,P<0.05)in AECOPD patients before treatment.There still were negative correlations between TF/TFPI ratio and TAC (r=-0.420,P<0.05),FEV1% to predicted(r=-0.480,P<0.05)respectively,and a positive correlation between TF/TFPI ratio and MDA(r=0.45 1,P<0.05)in AECOPD patients after treatment.Conclusions There existed coagulation/anticoagulation imbalance and oxidation/antioxidation imbalance before and after treatment in AECOPD patients and their relationship was explored.
