Objective: To develop a method for determination the content of Potassium Sodium Dehydroandroan drographolide Succinate (PSDS) in rat intestinal contents and plasma and investigate the intestinal absorption of PSDS pellets in rat and in vivo pharmacokinetics of PSDS pellets.
Methods: The content of PSDS in rat intestinal contents and plasma was determined by HPLC. In vivo pharmacokinetic properties and intestinal absorption of PSDS pellets in rat were investigated.
Results: Two hours after administration, pellets were not found in the small intestine and large intestine, four hours after administration, the largest number of pellets were found in the small intestine and the concentration of PSDS was the highest in the intestinal contents (3593.13 microg). The characteristics of plasma concentration-time curve was consistent with a single compartment model. The main drug pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. t1/2, T(max), C(max) and AUC were 2.69 h, 5 h, 3.02 microg/mL and 6.42 microg x h/mL, respectively.
Conclusion: PSDS has a good absorption in the rat small intestine and it is feasible to prepare PSDS enteric-coated pellets for oral administration.

The development of schedule-induced drinking depends on different variables affecting the food delivered at the end of the interfood interval. There are mixed results concerning the effects of varying magnitude and/or preference of different reinforcers in the development of schedule-induced drinking, with some studies showing higher levels and other studies showing lower levels of drinking. The purpose of this study was to observe how differences in preference for a flavor of equally nutritious food pellets influence the development and maintenance of schedule-induced drinking.

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA) is a common degenerative disease characterized by cartilage degeneration. However, the therapeutic strategies aimed to maintain cartilage homeostasis remain unclear. Fostamatinib (Fos) is a potential clinical drug for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and predicted as target drug for many inflammatory diseases.

Cannabinoid receptor-1 (CB1R) signaling in the dorsal striatum regulates the shift from flexible to habitual behavior in instrumental outcome devaluation. Based on prior work establishing individual, sex, and experience-dependent differences in Pavlovian behaviors, we predicted a role for dorsomedial striatum (DMS) CB1R signaling in driving rigid responding in Pavlovian autoshaping and outcome devaluation. We trained male and female Long Evans rats in Pavlovian Lever Autoshaping (PLA).

Articular cartilage has a limited regenerative capacity, resulting in poor spontaneous healing of damaged tissue. Despite various scientific efforts to enhance cartilage repair, no single method has yielded satisfactory results. With rising drug development costs, drug repositioning has emerged as a viable alternative.

In 1979, I joined Jim Ranck's group in Brooklyn and began recording hippocampal neurons. The first project was to record single neurons across three behaviors in different chambers: pellet retrieval on a radial-arm maze, bar-pressing for food reward in an operant chamber, and maternal pup-retrieval in a large home box. We found spatial firing in all three chambers, with a single-neuron's firing pattern unpredictable from one chamber to the next.
