Objective: Although IL–4 and IL–13 share many biologic activities, IL–13manifests some unique activities. We genotype the IL–13 and IL–4–IL–13–SNPs
genes for polymorphisms that could then be used to determine associations with IgE regulation as well as levels of IL–4 and
IL–13.
Methods: Eight kinds of specific IgE to penicillins were determined with radioallergosobent test (RAST) in the sera of 158 patients
with penicillins allergy and 89 healthy subjects. Serum levels of IL–4 and IL–13 were measured by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay (ELISA). The IL–13Arg130Gln, IL–4–IL–13–SNP3 and IL–4–IL13–SNP4 genotyping were carried out by polymerase chain reaction-restriction
fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique.
Results: Among patients with positive specific IgE, significant differences of IL–4–IL–13–SNP3 and IL–4–IL–13–SNP4 genotypes were observed
between patients with positive BPA and control group (P<0.05, P<0.05). Additionally, we also found significant difference in IL–4–IL–13–SNP4 genotype between positive and negative BPA–IgE
patients (P<0.05). However, we found no significant differences in the prevalence of these polymorphisms between any group studied (IR
and NIR, shock and urticaria, etc.) and control group. The same was true between levels of IL–4 and IL–13, and any of genotypes.
Conclusion: These data suggests that IL–4–IL–13–SNP genes between IL–4 and IL–13 play a role in regulation of specific IgE levels in patients
with penicillins allergy. 相似文献

AbstractContext: Currently, famous traditional Chinese medicine formulas have undergone re-evaluation and development in China. Wei–Chang–An–Wan (WCAW) as one of them has been used for treating various gastrointestinal diseases for several decades. The secondary development of WCAW is in progress so as to interpret the effective material basis or find new pharmacological activity.Objective: To evaluate the antinociceptive effect of methanol extract of WCAW (ME) as well as four fractions (P.E., EtOAc, n-BuOH, H2O) and obtain information on the correlation between the contents of the fractions and antinociceptive effect.Materials and methods: ME was divided into four parts extracted by petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. Antinociceptive activity was evaluated by three models of acetic acid–induced writhing, formalin and hot-plate test in mice after repetitive administration of ME at 200, 400 or 800?mg/kg, P.E. 132?mg/kg, EtOAc 106?mg/kg, n-BuOH 176?mg/kg and H2O 176?mg/kg for six days. The chemical compounds were analyzed by HPLC-ESI-MS.Results: ME at 800?mg/kg inhibited acid-induced writhing by 84.69%, and reduced the licking time of second phase in formalin test by 53.23%. The inhibition rates in acid-induced writhing of P.E., EtOAc, n-BuOH and H2O were 27.79, 33.85, 38.97 and 37.69%, respectively, and in formalin test about 50%. They had no effect on the hot-plate test. HPLC-ESI-MS analysis showed that 68 chemical compounds were detected and 41 compounds were identified from ME.Discussion and conclusion: The results obtained herein indicate that WCAW possesses the antinociceptive activity that provides a new aspect in clinical application. 相似文献

In this article, biodegradable and low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol)–poly(ε-caprolactone)–poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG–PCL–PEG, PECE) triblock copolymers were successfully synthesized. Aqueous solution of the obtained PECE copolymers underwent sol–gel–sol transition as temperature increased which was flowing sol at room temperature and then turned into nonflowing gel at body temperature. Sol–gel–sol phase transition behaviors of aqueous PECE solutions were studied using rheometry and test tube-inverting method, which were affected by many factors, including the heating/cooling procedure and different additives in copolymers aqueous solution. In vitro drug release behavior was studied using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and Vitamin B12 (VB12) as model drugs, and the PECE hydrogel could protect BSA from acidic degradation for 1 week at least. Therefore, PECE hydrogel is believed to be promising for injectable in situ gel-forming controlled drug delivery system due to their great thermosensitivity and biodegradability. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 98:3707–3717, 2009 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to synthesize core–corona nanoparticles of doxorubicin (DOX) using hyaluronic acid–polyethyleneglycol–polycaprolactone (HA–PEG–PCL) copolymer for tumor targeting. Targeting efficiency of HA–PEG–PCL nanoparticles was compared with non-HA-containing nanoparticles (methoxy poly ethylene glycol (MPEG)–PCL). The copolymers were chemically synthesized and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopies. The nanoparticles were characterized for shape and morphology by transmission electron microscopy, particle size, percentage of drug entrapment, and in vitro drug release profile. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction studies were also performed to appraise the crystalline or amorphous nature of DOX inside the polymer matrix. Formulations were prepared using different DOX:polymer ratios (1:1–1:3 w/w) and the optimum formulation with the drug:polymer ratio of 1:1 showed the mean particle size of 95 ± 5 nm and entrapment efficiency of 95.56% in the case of HA–PEG–PCL nanoparticles, while the values were 115 nm and 95.50%, respectively, in the case of MPEG–PCL nanoparticles. The HA–PEG–PCL nanoparticles could release DOX for up to 17 days, whereas the MPEG–PCL nanoparticles could release it for up to 14 days. The hemolytic toxicity and hematological studies confirmed that both DOX-loaded HA–PEG–PCL and MPEG–PCL nanoparticles were safe and suitable for sustained and targeted drug delivery. The tissue distribution study and tumor growth inhibition were performed after intravenous injection of nanoparticles in Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT)-bearing mice. The nanoparticles of HA–PEG–PCL copolymer accomplishes efficient delivery of DOX in EAT tumor when compared with the MPEG–PCL nanoparticles by the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis, as well as enhanced permeability and retention effect. 相似文献

A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detector (DAD), evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was established for the simultaneous determination of nine representative metabolites of the alkaloid, flavonoid and triterpenoid classes from Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa. The optimal chromatographic conditions were obtained on an ODS column and the mobile phase was composed of water and methanol with 0.1% formic acid using a gradient elution system. Using the developed methods, all of the validation parameters were successfully obtained. In addition, effectiveness of diverse extraction methods was compared to each other for the development of standard analytic method. The verified method was successfully applied to the quantitative determination of representative metabolites in commercial samples of Z. jujuba and Z. mauritiana from different markets in Korea, China and Myanmar. The analytical results showed that the contents of the nine analytes vary significantly with sources and species, thus demonstrating its potential for the detection of this plant. 相似文献

The Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney (WMW) test is the most commonly used nonparametric method to compare two treatments when the underlying distribution of the outcome variable is not normally distributed. In the presence of stratum effects, the van Elteren (vE) test, a stratified WMW test, can be used to adjust for the stratum effect. We provide guidance on how to choose between the two tests in the design phase of clinical trials and in the analysis of clinical data. We show by simulations that both tests preserve the type I error rate regardless of the presence of the stratum effects. Therefore, the test with greater power is preferred. In comparing powers, we found that the WMW test is better when the stratum effects are small, whereas the vE test is better when the stratum effects are large. Finally, when the stratum effects are moderate, the decision depends on the shape of the distribution and the ratio of the number of strata and the number of subjects. In this case, results presented in this article or from similar simulations may be used to determine which test is better. 相似文献

Changes in dietary habits favouring diets rich in fruits and vegetables, and a meteoric rise in the consumption of dietary supplements and herbal products have substantially increased human exposure to phytochemicals. It is, therefore, not surprising that diet and herbal remedies can modulate drug-metabolising enzyme systems, such as cytochromes P450, leading to clinically relevant drug-phytochemical interactions. Phytochemicals have the potential to both elevate and suppress cytochrome P450 activity. Such effects are more likely to occur in the intestine, where high concentrations of phytochemicals may be achieved, and alteration in cytochrome P450 activity will influence, in particular, the fate of drugs that are subject to extensive first-pass metabolism as a result of intestinal cytochrome P450-mediated biotransformation. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly apparent that phytochemicals can also influence the pharmacological activity of drugs by modifying their absorption characteristics through interaction with drug transporters. Clearly, phytochemicals have the potential to alter the effectiveness of drugs, either impairing or exaggerating their pharmacological activity. 相似文献
