Pharmacokinetics and Bioequivalence Evaluation of Two Different Aildenafil Citrate Tablet Formulations in Healthy Chinese Male Subjects Under Fasting and Fed Conditions.

Aildenafil citrate is a novel and potent phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). This study evaluates the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of 2 formulations of aildenafil citrate tablets (30 and 60 mg) in healthy Chinese male subjects under both fasting and fed conditions. A single-center, randomized, open-label, 2-period crossover design was employed, with 78 participants enrolled, including 30 in the fasting condition and 48 in the fed condition.

Bioequivalence and Safety of Two Amisulpride Formulations in Healthy Chinese Subjects Under Fasting and Fed Conditions: A Randomized, Open‑Label, Single‑Dose, Crossover Study.

Background And Objectives: Amisulpride is a second-generation antipsychotic drug that selectively binds to D2 and D3 dopaminergic receptors in the limbic system. In this study, the bioequivalence of an amisulpride formulation manufactured in China with the original formulation Solian® was evaluated under fasting and fed conditions in healthy Chinese subjects.

Methods: A single-centre, randomized, open, two-preparation, single-dose, two-period crossover trial in healthy adult subjects was conducted under fasting and fed conditions.

Pharmacokinetic Bioequivalence and Safety Assessment of Two Venlafaxine Hydrochloride Extended-Release Capsules in Healthy Chinese Subjects Under Fed Conditions: A Randomized, Open-Label, Single-Dose, Crossover Study.

Background And Objective: Venlafaxine hydrochloride extended-release (ER) capsules are commonly used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. Evaluation of the bioequivalence of generic formulations with reference products is essential to ensure therapeutic equivalence. The objective of this study was to evaluate the bioequivalence, safety, and tolerability of Chinese-manufactured venlafaxine hydrochloride extended-release capsules compared with USA-manufactured EFFEXOR XR in healthy Chinese volunteers under fed conditions.

Inhibition of angiotensin II and calpain attenuates pleural fibrosis.

Pleural fibrosis is associated with various inflammatory processes such as tuberculous pleurisy and bacterial empyema. There is currently no ideal therapeutic to attenuate pleural fibrosis. Some pro-fibrogenic mediators induce fibrosis through inflammatory processes, suggesting that blockage of these mediators might prevent pleural fibrosis.

[The balance of Th1 and Th17 cells in tuberculous pleural effusion].

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the distributions and relevance of Th1 and Th17 cells (IL-17-producing CD(+)(4) T cell), and the differentiation of Th17 cells in tuberculous pleural effusion.

Methods: The percentages of both Th1 and Th17 cells in tuberculous pleural effusion and peripheral blood from 30 patients [male/female 12/18, age 16 - 63 years (average 41.2 year)] with tuberculous pleurisy were determined by flow cytometry, and comparison was made using Student's t test.
