Abstract:
In vitro lipolysis model has become a new and promising technique to screen and evaluate oral lipid formulations. This model mimics the gastrointestinal tract environment and well reflects the fate of lipid formulations in GI tract after oral administration. This review summarizes the characteristics of lipid formulations, process of gastrointestinal digestion, applications of in vitro lipolysis model and methods for the characterization of the lipolysis process, which provides the basis for the research of oral absorption mechanism and in vivo-in vitro correlations of lipid formulations with lipolysis model.

2017, 35(6): 490-494,542. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-0111.2017.06.003
Abstract:
Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic bone metabolism disease characterized by a systemic impairment of bone mass, strength, and microarchitecture, which will be result in increasing the propensity of fragility fractures. In recent years, OP becomes a worldwide health problem and a hotspot in medical research due to its increasing incidence. Anti-resorptive drugs inhibit osteoclast differentiation and maturation in order to reduce bone resorption; Bone-anabolic drugs promote the bone formation function of osteoblast and reconstruct bone tissue; Bone mineralization-acceleration drugs are the basic material for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, including calcium and vitamin D; Strontium ranelate is the representative drug of uncoupling agents. In this paper, the current progress of osteoporosis treatments were reviewed including these proposed drugs.

Abstract:
High-throughput metabolomics have developed very rapidly in recent years and been widely used in medicinal plants research. At present, high-throughput metabolomics mainly applied in the following areas, quality control of medicinal plants by fingerprints, metabolites difference comparison before and after genetic engineering, monitoring metabolites change in different environment and gene function study. High-throughput metabolomics have a great future, but still have some challenges, such as the requirements for more sophisticated equipment and complexity of data integration. With the advancement of science and technology, high-throughput metabolomics will be an irreplaceable tool for the research of medicinal plants.

Abstract:
Objective To establish a simple and sensitive method for the determination of plasma drug concentration in rats after intragastrical and intravenous administration of paclitaxel loaded nanoparticles and to evaluate its pharmacokinetic characteristics. Methods AgilentTC-C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used for HPLC at the flow rate 1 ml/min with ketoconazole as internal standard and methanol acetonitrile water (45:20:35) as the mobile phase. The statistical moment method was applied to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters and to evaluate pharmacokinetic characteristics. Results There was a good liner relationship (r=0.999 7) when rat blood concentration of Paclitaxel ranged from 0.5 to 20 μg/ml. The accuracy and precision were in line with the requirements of biological sample analysis. The t1/2 were 3.86, 3.76, 3.35 and 2.62 h after intravenous injection of three lab-made paclitaxel nanoparticles and paclitaxel solution via rat tail vein. The t1/2 were 5.28 and 3.72 h respectively after intragastrical administration of lab-made paclitaxel nanoparticles and paclitaxel suspension. Conclusion This method can be used for the pharmacokinetic study of paclitaxel nanoparticles in rats. The paclitaxel loaded nanoparticles exhibited significantly longer in vivo retention time than paclitaxel injection and paclitaxel suspension.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of 5-FU on the expression of SHP2 gene in colorectal cancer cells RKO. Methods The human colorectal cancer cell line RKO of logarithmic growth phase was cultured 48 h with 5-FU. The expression of SHP2 was observed by immunofluorescence and Western blotting; siSHP2 which specifically inhibits the expression of SHP2 was transfected into RKO cells and cultured 48 h with 5-FU. The cell absorbance (A) values were measured with CCK8 and apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. The sensitivity of RKO to 5-FU and the effect of 5-FU on apoptosis of RKO cells were observed. Results The expression of nuclear protein of SHP2 was improved remarkably after colorectal cancer cell RKO was cultured 48 h with 5-FU. The sensitivity of RKO cells to 5-FU and the cell apoptosis rate induced by 5-FU were decreased after siSHP2 transfection. Conclusion 5-FU exerts anti-cancer activity possibly due to its promoting the apoptosis of RKO cells by influencing the expression of SHP2.

Methods In vitro anti-proliferation activity study of XAP combined with PTX on human ovarian cancer SK-OV-3 cells was performed using optical microscope and MTT assay. Human ovarian cancer SK-OV-3 cells were treated with PTX,XAP,PTX combined XAP or vehicle control.Each group of cells was treated with drugs for 24 h or 48 h.SK-OV-3 cell morphology was observed with optical microscope. MTT assay was used to detect the A value and cell viability was calculated. In vivo effect of XAP combined with PTX on the growth of SK-OV-3 cells was determined in nude mice. In our study, thirty-six mice were randomly divided into six groups:G1 (NS), G2 (PTX, 10 mg/kg), G3 (XAP, 20 ml/kg), G4 (XAP, 50 ml/kg), G5 (PTX 10 mg/kg+XAP 20 ml/kg) and G6 (PTX 10 mg/kg+XAP 50 ml/kg). Animals were treated for 18 days. Body weight, tumor volume and tumor inhibition rate were recorded and calculated. The results were analyzed by the SPSS 19.0 software. Results In vitro study showed that SK-OV-3 cell viability decreased significantly in PTX combined XAP group compared to PTX group or XAP group, in a time and dose-dependent manner. In vivo study showed that the combination of PTX and XAP resulted in decreased tumor weight significantly compared to the control or the PTX alone. Conclusion The combination of XAP and paclitaxel exhibited a synergistic effect both in vitro and in vivo in nude mouse tumor xenograft model.

2017, 35(6): 573-576. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-0111.2017.06.023
Abstract(3853) PDF (1007KB)(1569)
Abstract:
Objective To investigate the usage of intravenous infusion and the antibiotic intravenous infusion in different hospitals nationwide, and to evaluate the influence of the hospital bed number, hospital area and hospital grade on the clinical application of intravenous infusion. Methods Intravenous infusion volume, rate and other related indexes were analyzed based on the inpatient information obtained from the regional medical big data net for 156 hospitals. Results 1 323 852 inpatients were included in this study. 93.13% of those patients received intravenous infusion therapy. The average daily infusion volume was 782.67 ml per bed. The average infusion time was 7.39 days per patient. 44.78% of inpatients received intravenous antibiotic treatment. The average daily antibiotic infusion volume was 92.48 ml per bed. Conclusion Generally, the inpatient percentage of intravenous infusion was getting higher in China. The greater infusion volume in larger hospitals suggested that the patient's condition is relatively more serious in the larger hospital. The higher grade hospitals used smaller antibiotic infusion rate and volume, indicating the antibiotic use in high grade hospitals is relatively more standardized.
