材料和方法采用完全随机的方法将 48 只成年雄性 SD 大鼠分为六组。作为对照,I 组口服(PO)生理盐水。第 65 天,II、III、IV、V 和 VI 组动物分别腹腔注射尼古丁 2.5 毫克/千克/天(IP)、口服 ST 100 毫克/千克/天(PO)、口服 ST 200 毫克/千克/天(PO)、尼古丁 2.5 毫克/千克/天(IP)+ ST 100 毫克/千克/天(PO)和尼古丁 2.5 毫克/千克/天(IP)+ ST 200 毫克/千克/天(PO)。结果与对照组动物相比,第二组动物的天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)、丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)、尿素和肌酐水平大幅上升(P ˂0.001)。此外,与对照组动物相比,这些动物的肝脏氧化应激能力增强,表现为丙二醛(MDA)水平显著升高(P ˂ 0.001),过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)水平降低(P ˂ 0.001)。此外,与对照组大鼠相比,尼古丁处理过的大鼠肝脏出现了更多的组织学异常,包括明显的空泡化、组织结构不良、细胞核增生和窦道扩张。与尼古丁处理的大鼠相反,同时服用 ST 和尼古丁可防止尼古丁引起的异常(第五组和第六组)。本研究旨在确定服用獐牙菜苷 (ST) 对 SD 大鼠尼古丁诱导的肝脏毒性的保护作用。作为对照,I 组口服生理盐水(ORS)。第 65 天,II、III、IV、V 和 VI 组动物分别腹腔注射尼古丁 2.5 毫克/千克/天(IP)、口服 ST 100 毫克/千克/天(PO)、口服 ST 200 毫克/千克/天(PO)、尼古丁 2.5 毫克/千克/天(IP)+ ST 100 毫克/千克/天(PO)和尼古丁 2.5 毫克/千克/天(IP)+ ST 200 毫克/千克/天(PO)。结果与对照组动物相比,II 组动物的天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)、丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)、尿素和肌酐水平显著升高(p ˂0.001)。此外,与对照组动物相比,这些动物的肝脏氧化应激增加,表现为丙二醛(MDA)水平显著升高(p ˂ 0.001),过氧化氢酶(CAT)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)水平降低(p ˂ 0.001)。此外,与对照组大鼠相比,尼古丁处理的大鼠肝脏出现了更多的组织学异常,包括广泛的空泡化、组织结构不良、脓核增生和窦道扩张。结论本研究结果表明,尼古丁会严重破坏肝脏组织,而獐牙菜素能防止尼古丁对大鼠肝脏的有害影响。今后的研究还需要进一步探讨獐牙菜红素对尼古丁诱导的肝毒性具有保护作用的机制。

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) excretion in urine is frequently observed in clinical practice. However, the specific circumstances and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this shedding remain largely unknown. Here, we address some of the key questions regarding urinary CMV excretion, focusing on new hypotheses raised by recent advances in the field. Cellular origins of CMV shedding, clinical contexts of occurrence, systemic spread of the virus versus compartmentalization in the urinary tract, and clinical impact are successively discussed.

Objective: To develop and validate a rapid, accurate, economical, effective and greenery RP-HPLC method for the determination of Zolmitriptan in tablet dosage form.
Material and method: RP-HPLC method was developed using Luna (C18) (4.6×250mm, 5μm) column and Sodium phosphate buffer (pH 4.7): Methanol [75: 25, v/v] was used as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0mL/min. The detection was carried out at 227nm. Further, eco-friendliness, productivity and performance of the optimized analytical method were assessed by green and white tools.
Results: The retention time of Zolmitriptan was found to be 3.25min with acceptable chromatographic parameters. The optimized RP-HPLC method was more eco-friendly, efficient, throughput and practicable than the reported methods as confirmed by AES, AGREE, GAPI and RGB tools. Further, the proposed analytical method showed all the validation parameters within the acceptance limit of ICH Q2 R1 guidelines. The linear regression analysis indicated a good linear response in the 10 to 120μg/mL concentration range with R2 of 0.99998. The percentage content and percentage assay of Zolmitriptan in Zomig-5mg tablet was found to be 103.36±0.356% and 97.86±0.693%.
Conclusion: The developed and validated method has several advantages compared to the reported HPLC methods and is useful in the systematic analysis of Zolmitriptan in its dosage form.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in men, which seriously threatens the survival and quality of life of patients. At present, there are serious limitations in the treatment of prostate cancer, such as drug tolerance, drug resistance and easy recurrence. Sonodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy are two emerging tumor treatment methods, which activate specific drugs or sonosensitizers through sound waves or chemicals to produce reactive oxygen species and kill tumor cells. Nanomaterials are a kind of nanoscale materials with many excellent physical properties such as high targeting, drug release regulation and therapeutic monitoring. Sonodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy combined with the application of nanomaterials can improve the therapeutic effect of prostate cancer, reduce side effects and enhance tumor immune response. This article reviews the application progress of nanomaterials in the treatment of prostate cancer, especially the mechanism, advantages and challenges of nanomaterials in sonodynamic therapy and chemodynamic therapy, which provides new ideas and prospects for research in this field.
