“Objective: There are no published data on the expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) in human aortic tissues with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), although some researchers have suggested that LRP1 may be a crucial regulator in the pathogenesis of AAA. The aim of this pilot study is to investigate LRP1 expression in aortic tissues from www.selleckchem.com/products/sbe-b-cd.html Chinese patients with AAA compared with normal control tissues.

Materials and methods: This study used human abdominal aortic tissues with or without AAA as a research model. Aneurysmal abdominal aortas were collected from Chinese patients with AAA (n = 12) during open surgical aneurysmal repair

at our institution, and normal control non-aneurysmal abdominal aortas were collected from Chinese healthy organ donors (n = 12) during organ transplantation. Protein expression of LRP1 was analyzed by western blotting and immunohistochemistry.

Results: LRP1 protein expression was significantly lower in AAA (mean LRP1(AAA)/LRP1(Normal Control) = 0.51 +/- 0.28) than in normal control aortic tissues (mean LRP1(Normal Control)/LRP1(Normal

Control) = 1 +/- 0.18) in our small sample cohort (p < .001). No significant correlation was shown between LRP1 protein expression and the size of AAA (p PF2341066 > .05).

Conclusions: Our pilot result suggests that a reduction in LRP1 protein expression may be associated with aneurysm progression. (C) 2013 European Society for Vascular Surgery. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.”
“The objective of the present investigation was to investigate the effects of selected drugs (captopril and celecoxib) properties on different parameters drug entrapment, in vitro drug release, release pattern, in vitro drug permeation and buoyancy in the formulation

of Eudragit S100 non effervescent floating microparticulates. Microparticulates were in size ranges 268.36-352.27 mu m (captopril) and 271.36-365.34 mu m (celecoxib). Encapsulation selleck screening library efficiency of celecoxib was good as compare to captopril. In vitro permeation studies showed in range (ES6) 74.83 mu g – (ESI) 79.84 mu g (celecoxib), (EU6) 57.01 mu g – (EU1) 6738 mu g (captopril). In vitro release followed Non-Fickian diffusion mechanism while in vitro permeation kinetics revealed the super case H transport mechanism. Taken together, water insoluble (celecoxib) drug showed suitable combination with Eudragit S100. This study concluded that the effect of various parameter on the characteristics of Eudragit gastroretentive drug delivery system by non effervescent technique using celecoxib and captopril having different physicochemical characterization.”
