1.Research progress in liver targeted therapy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;31(5):469-472
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)is the most common progressive liver disease worldwide.Currently,there is no satisfy-ing treatment for NAFLD.Research progress in fatty acid bile acid conjugates (FABACs)and ursodeoxycholyl lysophosphatidylethanolamide (UDCA-LPE),which are two novel liver targeted drugs with anti-NAFLD effects,is reviewed.FABACs,which reduce liver fat in pa-tients with NAFLD induced by high-fat diet by regulating lipid metabolism,have been proved effective in preventing and treating NAFLD. The safety and efficacy of FABACs in NAFLD patients have been confirmed in a phase II,randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled trial.UDCA-LPE can not only reduce liver fat in NAFLD patients,but also inhibit mitochondrial damage and apoptosis and promote hepa-tocyte regeneration,with a marked anti-inflammatory effect during the development of NAFLD.Therefore,FABACs and UDCA-LPE hold promise for preventing and treating NAFLD.

Objective To study the method of cryopreservation, and method of cultivation of hepatocytes of sucking pig. Methods Hepatocytes were isolated from sucking pig by two-step perfusion with collagenase using an extracorporeal perfusion apparatus. They were cryopreserved in liquid nitrogen for 4 months. They were thawed and seeded on gelatin coated bottom of a flask. The cells were covered with another layer of collagen. The exprssion of albumin mRNA, cellular morphology synthesis of urea, and content of oxalylacetylaminotransferase were determined in the collagen cultures. Results Thawed hepatocytes maintained their biological characters well after cryopreservation. The thawed hepatocytes could grow well in collagen gel, sandwich culture. In the 10-day cultures, typical cellular morphological and biological characteristics of cultured hepatocytes could be observed. Conclusion Hepatocytes stored in liquid nitrogen could maintain their activities for a long time. The hepatocytes could be cultivated in collagenous matrix, which provided an environment closely resembling that in nature, and their morphology and functions could be maintained.

As a special branches of capillary electrophoresis(CE), nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) was variedly applied in the recent years. A brief summary on solvent properties and molecular interactions in nonaqueous solutions are introduced. Discussing of the approaches employed to enhance and tune selectivity in NACE. Special detection techniques for NACE are presented. Furthermore, a list of relevant applications in biological sample and its metabolin and also in pharmaceutical since 2000 is included, and also take perspective for NACE.

Objective Retrospective observating the diminishing inflammation and lowering enzymatic effect with diammonium glycyrrhizinate (ganlixin injectionfluid) on hepatitis, such as chronic hepatitis, hepatocirrhosis, drug induced hepatitis and alcoholic hepatitis. Methods The 629 case hepatitis sufferers, including chronic hepatitis with light to middle degree, hepatocirrhosis, drug induced hepatitis and alcoholic hepatitis, were treated with 150 mg diammonium glycyrrhizinate added into 250 ml 5 % to 10 % glucose injection liquid. Another 127 chronic hepatitis sufferers treated with injecho potenl ini were seen as contrast. When the treatment was over, the level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and serum bilirubin (SB) and symptom of patients in two groups were analysed. Results The level of ALT and SB dropped more rapidly than that in contrast group, but there were no marked difference in symptoms recover. After 17 days therapy, there are 93.3 % patients with ALT normal level in treating group, but 73.3% in contrast group (P

Objective To assess the influence of host factors on the progression to cirrhosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Methods Duration of 121 patients from HCV infection developing to liver cirrhosis was compared according to age at which HCV was infected, having the history of acute hepatopathy or not, infection pathway and sex. Patients with other hepatitis virus infection were excluded. Age, at which HCV was infected, was identified as that at blood transfusion or acute episode in non-transfusion patients. No patients had applied to any drugs. Results It took mean (27.17?6.78) years for the patients of age range 0-20 at which HCV was infected to develop to cirrhosis, while only (10.16?5.84) years for those of age range 41~50. There were significant differences between them (P0.05). Conclusion Our data show that patients with older age at which HCV was infected, with history of acute hepatopathy or HCV infection through blood transfusion developed into liver cirrhosis in shorter time. Sex was not found to have significant influence on the progression to cirrhosis.

AIM: To investigate the therapeutic effects of the marine capsules combined with composite Salvia miltiorrhiza dropping pill in treatment with patients with hepatic fibrosis related to chronic hepatitis B. METHODS: 54 patients were enrolled and randomly divided into control group and treatment group. The liver function,the marker of hepatic fibrosis and hepatitis B virus were determined before and after therapy. RESULTS: The markers in this study were significantly improved than those before treatment and those in control group (P

Objective To shorten the time of drug reception for ward areas and improve the overall satisfaction level towards the hospital. Methods The process of drug reception for ward areas was optimized by means of information technology and through business process reengineering. Results The time of drug reception for ward areas was effectively shortened and work efficiency and the overall satisfaction level were improved. Conclusion Using information technology and implementing business process reengineering are effective measures that can be taken by hospitals to improve efficiency and satisfaction level.

Objective To develop an HIS-based electronic medication record. Methods With the aid of the Windows 2000 platform, the clinical data of the patients from the relevant branch systems of HIS was loaded into the medication record management system by using PowerBuild, and then correlative data were processed and corresponding functions were appended. Results An HIS-based electronic medication record was successfully developed. Easy to operate and providing clinical pharmacists with full and accurate clinical data, it could be used both forprospective analyses and retrospective studies. Conclusion As a new mode of medication records, it has sound application prospects in hospitals with good hospital information systems.

Objective To investigate depression disorders and its influencing factors among senile patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) in rural-urban fringe in order to supply reference for commu-nity nursing intervention for it. Methods This study was conducted among 323 residents above 60 years old in Gushan town, Fuzhou City. CES-D (center for epidemiology survey-depression scale) and ADL (ac-tivities of daily living scale) were used to evaluate the depression condition and related factors in these pa-tients and the results underwent analysis. Results 25.7% of people with diabetes had various degree of depression, among which 13.3% might had depression and 12.4% had depression definitely. Patients with loss of spouse, living along,reduction of self- care ability and low BMI showed higher incidence of depres-sion. Variables went into the unconditional multivariate logistic regression equation included marriage status and BMI. Conclusions T2DM patients with loss of spouse, living alone,reduction in self-care ability of daily living and low BMI are high risk population of depression. It was proposed that psychological nursing for the aged should be the important content of community nursing.
