[Application of statistical simulation spectrophotometry to the determination of four medicaments in feibaosanxiao tablets].

The steps of statistical simulation spectrophotometry are to build a model based on a collection of limited but sufficient data from simulation samples to reveal the real absorbance-concentration relationship of the real sample and provide concentrated data of the individual components of the real sample measured by its absorbance data at several sensitive wavelengths. In this article, the method of stepwise regression has been used for building absorbance-concentration model of Feibaosanxiao tablets, a compound formulation of multimedicaments, and uniform design, for experimental design and recovery test. Recoveries of the four medicaments, acetaminophen, phenytoin sodium, theophylline and caffeine were 99.6%, 97.4%, 100.7% and 100.7% with RSD 0.3%, 1.9%, 1.3% and 1.3% respectively (n = 14).

Phosphatidic acid formation by phospholipase D is required for transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex.

BACKGROUND: Lipid molecules may play a regulatory role in the secretory pathway of mammals and yeast. The lipid hydrolase phospholipase D (PLD) is one candidate for mediating regulation of secretion, based on the location of this enzyme and its requirements for activation. RESULTS: We found that primary alcohols, which block formation of phosphatidic acid (PA) by PLD, inhibited the transport of two different viral glycoproteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Corresponding secondary alcohols, which are much less potent in blocking PA formation, were also less effective in blocking transport of the glycoproteins. The block in glycoprotein transport imposed by primary alcohols was reversed when PA, in the form of liposomes, was exogenously supplied to the culture medium. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that the earliest site of regulation of membrane transport by PLD is within the intermediate compartment between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex.

The effects of simultaneous atropine and labetalol administration on cardiovascular parameters during anticholinesterase poisoning in anaesthetized cat.

The effects of atropine administration during anticholinesterase poisoning on heart rate, blood pressure and electrocardiographic changes (ECG) were studied in the cat. Administration of atropine intravenously during anticholinesterase poisoning caused a significant increase in heart rate and blood pressure; ECG changes were also seen. The simultaneous intravenous administration of atropine and labetalol during anticholinesterase poisoning abolished the increase in blood pressure and heart rate; ECG readings remained normal. It is suggested that labetalol may be a useful adjuvant in the treatment of anticholinesterase poisoning especially in patients with compromised heart function.
