    Objective To investigate the inhibition mechanism of tetramethylpyrazine combined with cisplatin on angiogenesis in Lewis lung cancer mice and to observe the mechanism of Arresten on angiogenesis in lung cancer. Methods The model of Lewis lung adenocarcinoma mouse xenograft was established in this work, and 40 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: 0.9% sodium chloride solution group(NS group), tetramethylpyrazine group(TMP group), cisplatin group(DDP group), tetramethylpyrazine plus cisplatin group(TMP + DDP group), 10 mice in each group.Mice in NS group were given 0.2 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride solution, mice in DDP group were given 0.2 mL of 2 mg·kg-1 of cisplatin, mice in TMP group were given 0.2 mL of 100 mg·kg-1 of tetramethylpyrazine, mice in TMP+DDP group were given 2 mg·kg-1 of cisplatin and 100 mg·kg-1 of tetramethylpyrazine, each 0.1 mL .Tumor size was measured every day to calculate the tumor volume.The mice were sacrificed to stripp the subcutaneous tumor after continuous medication.The expressions of Arresten, integrin α1β1 and VEGF were determinated by immunhistochemistry and Western blotting. Results The tumor growth of NS group was the fastest and TMP+DDP group was the slowest.Compared with NS group, the expression of Arresten in the other three groups was increased(P<0.01), and the TMP+DDP group exhibited the highest expression;at the same time, integrin α1β1, VEGF in the other three groups was decreased(P<0.01), and the TMP+DDP group exhibited the lowest expression.The expression of integrin α1β1 and VEGF was negatively related to Arresten, and the expression of integrin α1β1was positively correlated with VEGF. Conclusion TMP can inhibited the growth of Lewis lung carcinoma and angiogenesis.Moreover, in combination with cisplatin, TMP can also improved the effect of chemotherapy and then the survival state of mice.The mechanism of action, which TMP suppress tumor angiogenesis may be through improving Arresten and inhibiting integrin α1β1 and VEGF.And the action mechanism of Arresten may be implemented by inhibiting the expression of VEGF by incorporation with integrin α1β1 or by itself to inhibit the expression of VEGF.

    Objective To explore the release and percutaneous penetration of cyclovirobuxine D patches at different concentrations in vitro. Methods The release curves of cyclovirobuxine D patch in vitro were fitted by ritger-peppas mathematical model, and the patch release mechanism was discussed according to the fitting parameters.At the same time, compared the percutaneous permeability characteristics of 0.25,0.5,1.0,2.0 mg·(cm2)-1 of cyclovirobuxine D patch by using a modified Franz diffusion cell, with isolated rat skin serving as transdermal barrier. Results Ritger-Peppas model fitting equation for cyclovirobuxine D patch [1.00 mg·(cm2)-1]was: Mt/M=0.964 6 t1.621 6.And the percutaneous penetration curve was best fitted to Higuchi kinetics equation.The drug release rate from the patch matrix was greater than the rate of penetration through the skin, indicating the patch at the time through rat's skin was a passive diffusion process, and transdermal process was rate-limited by skin. Conclusion Kinetics equation fitting is an effective method for analyzing drug release and permeation behavior of cyclovirobuxine D patch in vitro.
