OBJECTIVE:To investigate the drug-induced renal injury of inpatients in our hospital and provide information for rational use of drugs.METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed in 102 cases whose blood Cr level was abnormal in June,August,and October in 2007.RESULTS:Of the 102 cases,20 patients(19.6%)suffered from drug-induced renal injury induced by 22 suspected drugs including dehydrants,antibiotics and ACEI et al.CONCLUSION:To avoid drug-induced renal function injury,medication should be carried out by strictly following indications and the dosage and administration stated in the drug package insert.

BACKGROUND: Deproteinized bone has three diamensions frame profitting bone cells to adhere to, new capillaries and interstitial cells to enter, osteoblasts to differentiate and extracellular matrix to synthesize. Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) is a new in-ceramic bone cement that can degradate, which has plasticity, no heat production, invariably mechanics intension and porosity.OBJECTIVE: To explore the ability of CPC attaching with human vascular endothelial growth factor (rhVEGF) and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in promoting deproteinized osteoarticular allograft to repair osteoarticular defect.DESIGN: Randomly control observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, the First Affiliated Hospital, Chongqing Medical University.MATERIALS: A total of 42 adult hybridization dogs of both genders and weighing (10±0.5) kg were provided by Animal Center of Chongqing Medical University. RhVEGF was provided by Beijing Boaosen Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; rhBMP-2 by Guangzhou Dahui Biotechnology Co., Ltd.; CPC by Shanghai Ruibang Biotechnology Co., Ltd.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Orthopaedics (Municipal Laboratory), Clinical College,Chongqing Medical University from March to September 2006. A total of 36 adult dogs were randomly divided into three groups with 12 in each group, including group A: CPC/rhVEGF/rhBMP-2/deproteinized femoral inferior extremity (DPB)osteoarticular allograft; group B: rhVEGF/rhBMP-2/DPB osteoarticular allograft; group C: simple DPB osteoarticular allograft. The experimental dogs were cut off femur by wire saw from articular surface with 30 mm, then fixed the grafts to broken ends of fractured femur with cross Kirschner wires, drawn down the proximad periosteum and sutured it. At the 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th weeks after operation, the effects were partly assessed by X-ray film examination, histologic examination as well as immunohistochemistry analysis of VEGF and BMP-2, vas capillare analysis by vaso-filling with ink, radionuclide bone imaging examination (ECT) and vitodynamic tests.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: At the 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th weeks after operation, the effects were partly assessed by X-ray film examination, histologic examination as well as immunohistochemistry analysis of VEGF and BMP-2, vas capillare analysis by vaso-filling with ink, radionuclide bone imaging examination (ECT) and vitodynamic tests.RESULTS: All 36 rats were involved in the final results. ① From 4th to 16th week after operation, the callus formation in group A was better than that of group B and group C by x-ray film examination. ② Image analysis system displayed that the value of area integration of optical density in group A was obviously higher than that in group B and C about VEGF at the 8th, 12th and 16th weeks, and BMP-2 at the 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th weeks. The difference had statistical significance (P＜ 0.01). ③ The new vessels of grafts in group A were more than those in group B and C, part of those inclined to mature. The difference had statistical significance (P ＜ 0.01). ④ The blood flow of operation side was higher than that of uninjured side after operation, but that in group A was significantly higher than that in group B and C. The difference had statistical significance (P＜ 0.01). ⑤ At the 16th week, the result in group A was significantly higher than that in group B and C (P＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: The recombinant deproteinized osteoarticular materials have fairly strong ability of new bone formation and vasculogenesis, and can early achieve bone healing, repairing osteoarticular defect and become autologous tissue at last.

Objective To observe the effects of recombinant human erythropoietin(rh-EPO) on immune function of cyclophosphamide-treated mice.Methods Six-week-old mice were randomly divided into 4 groups.Cyclophosphamide plus normal saline group(CTX(+NS));cyclophosphamide plus lower and higher dosage rh-EPO group(CTX+LDrh-EPO and CTX+HD rh-EPO);normal saline control group(NS).The changes of Hb,WBC,red blood cell immune function((C_3b)-R%),T lymphocyte proliferative responsiveness optical density index A(A score),IL-2,TNF-? of 4 groups were observed.Results The CTX + NS group showed lower levels on Hb,WBC,C_(3b)-R%,A score,IL-2 and TNF-? compared with NS normal control group(P0.05).There were positive correlation between C_(3b)-R% and Ascore,C_(3b)-R% and IL-2.Conclusions 1.Cyclophosphamide treated mice have lower Hb,WBC,C_(3b)-R%,A,IL-2 and TNF-? secretion.2.rh-EPO administration have improvements with Hb,RBC immune function,T lymphocyte proliferative responsiveness and IL2 production.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of arsenic trioxide(ATO) plus vitamin K2(VK2) on proliferation of HL-60 cells from acute promyelocytic leukemia cell line and explore the possible mechanism.Methods ①HL-60 cells were exposed to ATO(0.0,0.5,1.0,2.0,4.0 μmol/L),VK2(0.0,2.5,5.0,10.0,20.0μmol/L),or both of different concentrations (0.5 μmol/L ATO + 2.5 μmol/L VK2,1.0 μmol/L ATO + 5.0μmol/L VK2,2.0 μmol/L ATO + 10.0 μmol/L VK2,4.0 μmol/L ATO + 20.0 μmol/L VK2) for 24,48 or 72 h,respectively.The method of CCK-8 was used to assess the proliferation of HL-60 cells and the half inhibitory concentration(IC50) of ATO or VK2 was calculated,respectively.②Combination index (CI) was used to evaluate the combinative effect of the two treatments:CI ＜ 1,=1 or ＞ 1 indicated synergistic,additive,or antagonistic effect,respectively.③After HL-60 cells were treated with 1.0 μmol/L ATO or 5.0 μmol/L VK2 individually or simultaneously for 48 h,Annnexin V/PI staining was performed to identify the apoptosis rate of each group.Untreated cells were used as control group.Results ①ATO or VK2 alone inhibited the proliferation of HL-60 cells in a concentration and time dependent manner.The IC50 of ATO or VK2 at time of 24,48,72 h were (22.86 ± 2.44),(6.66 ± 0.34),(4.14 ± 0.41) and (18.40 ± 1.12),(13.48 ± 0.73),(8.95 ± 0.40) μmol/L,respectively; ②The combination of ATO and VK2 illustrated a synergistic effect with CI ＜ 1.③No statistical difference was found among control group [(4.38 ± 0.56)％],1.0 μmol/L ATO group [(5.76 ± 1.63)％] and 5.0 μmol/L VK2 group [(6.38 ± 1.42)％] in the apoptosis rate(all P ＞ 0.05).However,the apoptosis rate of combined group did rise to (44.18 ± 8.42)％,with a significant improvement to that of VK2 or ATO group alone (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The combination of VK2 and ATO exhibits an enhanced synergistical inhibitive effect on proliferation of HL-60 cells,and apoptosis may be involved in this synergy in part.

Objective To explore the indications and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy with small auxiliary incision for benign pulmonary diseases and non-small cell lung cancer.Methods Between May 1996 and April 2007,63 cases of lobectomy were performed by video-assisted thoracoscopy.Before the operation,18 of the patients were diagnosed with benign pulmonary diseases,and 45 had pulmonary mass or malignancies.Lobectomy of the right lung was carried out on 47 patients,including the right upper lobe resection in 12,the middle lobe in 8,and the lower in 27.The other 16 patients received resection of the left upper lobe(5)or left lower lobe(11).Results Thoracoscopic lobectomy was completed in all the 63 patients,in 6 of them the incision was lengthened during the operation.No perioperative death occurred.The chest tube was withdrawn 4 to 7 days(mean,4.5 days)after the operation.Postoperative pathological examination showed NSCLC in 37 patients(58.7%),metastatic lung cancer in 1(1.6%),carcinoid tumor in 1(1.6%),and benign conditions in 24(38.1%).Among the 37 patients with NSCLC,8 were at stage Ⅰa,13 at stage Ⅰb,14 at stage Ⅱa,3 at stage Ⅱb,6 at stage Ⅲa,1 at stage Ⅲb,and 2 at stage Ⅳ.Of the patients with malignancies,34 were followed up for 2 to 60 months(2 to 12 months in 7,13 to 24 months in 10,25 to 36 months in 6,37 to 48 months in 6,and 49 to 60 months in 3),2 of them survived 11 years,5 of the patients(14.7%)died of tumor recurrence or metastasis,1(2.9%)survived with tumor,and 28(82.4%)lived free of tumor.The 1-and 3-year survival rate of the patients with stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ cancer were 100%(19/19)and 90%(9/10)respectively.In the patients with stage Ⅲ cancer,5 received follow-up,3 of them died of recurrence of metastasis.In the 2 patients who had stage Ⅳ cancer,1 died of metastasis.Conclusion Video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy is a safe and effective procedure and can be a regular surgical treatment for benign pulmonary disease,and peripheral type non-small cell lung cancer at stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ.
