Aim To study in vitro the antibacterial activity of domestic sparfloxacin (SPLX) and compare it with other four quinolones including lomefloxacin (LMLX), ciprof lox acin (CPLX), ofloxacin(OFLX) and enox acin(ENX).Methods Minimal inhibitory concentrations(MIC) were determined by means of agar disk dilution method.The susceptibility was defined acco rding to NCCLs.Results SPLX was the most active one in the quinolones against all tested st rains. Its MIC₉₀ was less or equal to 2 mg·L^-1, while the MIC₉₀ of LMLX、CPLX、OFLX and ENX were 16、 16、16 and 32 mg·L^-1, respecti rely.The geomet ric means of MIC (MIC_g) of SPLX (0.179 mg·L^-1) were significant lower than MIC_g of LMLX、OFLX and ENX and slightly lower than that of CPLX.The susceptible rate of G⁺ cocci was 100%, significantly higher than that of controlled quinolones.Conclusion The antibacterial spectrum of SPLX is wider and the activity against clinical isolates is higher than that of other quinolones.

Aim To observe the effects of galanin (Gal) antagonist M35 or M40 at different concentrations on the Gal-evoked outward-current in principal trigeminal nucleus (PrV) neurons.Methods The technique of whole-cell patch-clamp was used to record the change of membrane current.Results At doses of M35 0.01, 0.03 and 0.1 μmol·L^-1, the Gal-evoked outward- current decreased by 53.1%, 40.4% and 27.2%, respectively.While M35 1 and 3 μmol·L^-1, the current increased by 16.2% and 38.4%.At doses of M40 0.01 and 0.03 μmol·L^-1, the current increased by 93.7% and 68.4%, while for M40 0.3, 1 and 3μmol·L^-1, the current decreased by 49.2%, 69.9% and 87.2%, respectively.Conclusion M35 at low concentrations antagonizes the effect of Gal and at high concent rations acts as a Gal receptor agonist. Whereas M40 in high doses antagonizes the effect of Gal and in low doses exerts an autagonistic action. There may be different Gal subtype receptors in the same PrV neuron.

Aim To observe the pharmacokinetic profiles of oral administration of bicyclol in 30 healthy volunteers. Methods Thirty healthy volunteers were randomized into 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg groups.They were given bicyclol in a single dosage or multiple dosages before and after meal respectively.The plasma concentration of bicyclol was assayed by the high performance liquid chromatograply (HPLC).The pharmacokinetic parameters were analysed by 3p97 softwere. Results The feature of pharmacokinetics conformed to one compartment model and a first order elimination. For the three dose groups of 25, 50 and 100 mg, the values of t_(1/2)ka were (0.84±0.68)、 (0.33±0.09)and (1.19±10.9)h, respectively; the values of t_(1/2)ke were (6.26±6.24), (6.17±2.01) and (4.66±1.21)h, respectively;V_d/F (455.02±135.35), (622.94±325.37) and (688.83±308.14)L;CL/F (93.45±67.66)、 (83.31±71.97)、(104.30±45.76)h.Between single dose and mult iple dosages, the pharmacokinetic parameters had no significant difference, showing there was no accumulation in the body.Before and after meal, the values of c_max were (151.26±39.00) and (222.64±43.22)μg·L^-1, respectively (P<0.01), but the AUC_0～∞ had no significant difference,which was probabily related to the lipo troph of bicyclol.Conclusion Bicyclol has alinear pharmacokinetic feature.The absorption of bicyclol is influenced by food.

Aim To study the size and susceptibility of low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF).Methods Plasma LDL in 30 CRF patients and 26 control subjects were analyzed by 2%～16% non-denaturing poly acrylamide gradient gels.The continuous monitoring of LDL oxidation by absorbance measurement at 234 nm was performed to analyze the susceptibility of LDL to Cu²⁺ mediated oxidation in CRF patients.Results In LDL particle diameters no dif ference was found between the CRF patients and control subjects[(26.35±0.59) nm vs (26.41±0.95) nm, P>0.05]. The dist ribution of LDL subfraction pat tern also had no difference between two groups.LDL particle diameter was neg atively correlated with plasma t riglycerides (r=-0.26, P<0.05).However, the lagtime in the test for LDL oxidizabilty in CRF patients was signif icantly sho rter than that in the controls [(56.2±23.7) minvs (97.3±41.2) min, P<0.05].Conclusion Circulating LDL in CRF patients was more susceptible to oxidation in vitro than that of controls.This may be associated with increased risk for coronary artery disease.
