Objective To conduct a systematic review on the need and experience of patients in end of life and provide evidence-based guidance for delivery of end-of-life care in hospital and community settings. Methods Two Chinese (CBM and CNKI) and four English relevant databases (PsycINFO,MEDLINE,EMbase and CINAHL) were in-cluded to retrieve literatures on Chinese dying patients' needs and experience between inception and August 2016. The JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies in Australia was used to evaluate the quality of studies. The searching results were synthesized by employing Integrating Methods. Results Seventy-five findings were extracted from 9 qualified studies. The 75 findings were sequently integrated into 5 categories and finally 2 synthesized re-sults were summarized from the 5 categories. Integration result 1:under the sufferings from both physical and psy-chological aspects,dying patients require support from both family and society. Integration result 2:although death is acceptable for patients,they still hope for dignity and goals of life. Conclusion Needs of patients in end-of-life should be understood and respected. Reasonable and effective measures need to be taken to meet their needs and improve their quality of life.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Radix Isatidis and its constituents indigo and in?dirubin on two principal subtypes of organic cation transporters(OCT)OCT1,OCT2 in vivo in mice. METHODS Decoction of Radix Isatidis (DRI) 1.6 and 6.4 g · kg-1,granules of Radix Isatidis (GRI) 0.615 and 2.460 g·kg-1,indigo 0.008 and 0.640 mg·kg-1 and indirubin 0.0192 and 1.536 mg·kg-1 were ig given to NIH mice(60 mice per group),twice a day for 5 d. Four control groups were set up,including the vehicle of water,0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC),additives of sucrose plus dextrin (1.5 g · kg-1)and positive control quinidine(0.025 g · kg-1). Sixty minutes after the last dosing,all the mice were iv given metformin(Met)5 mg·kg-1,and at 1.0,2.5,5.0,7.5,10.0 and 20.0 min after Met iv,10 mice in each group were sacrificed to collect whole blood and kidneys respectively. The right kidney was homogenized for Met accumulation test and the left one used to extract total RNA for analysis of OCT1 and OCT2 mRNA expressions by real-time PCR. The contents of Met in sera and kidneys were quantified by HPLC. Major pharmacokinetic parameters of Met in sera were analyzed by pharmacokinetic software(DAS 2.0). RESULTS There was no significant difference between water control group,0.5%CMC group and sucrose plus dextrin group in any examined item. Compared with vehicle control group (water and 0.5%CMC group),all the related pharmacokinetic parameters in DRI 6.4 g · kg- 1,GRI 2.46 g · kg-1,indigo 0.640 mg · kg-1 and indirubin 1.536 mg · kg-1 groups were changed significantly (P<0.05,P<0.01). The elimination half time (t1/2β) was prolonged 13%-97%,volume of distribution reduced by 13%-72%,clearance(Cl)reduced by 9%-65%,and the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-20 min) increased by 13%-135%. AUC0-20 min obtained from renal Met accumulations was significantly increased(P<0.01)while Met uptake by kidney slices was reduced(P<0.05,P<0.01). The expressions of OCT1 and OCT2 mRNA were obviously down-regulated(P<0.05,P<0.01). CONCLUSION The mouse renal OCT1 and OCT2 are significantly inhibited by DRI,GRI,indigo and indirubin. The inhibitory effect of Radix Isatidis on OCT1 and OCT2 probably arises from indigo and indirubin contained.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of 10 kinds of nephrotoxic TCM on three main subtypes(Oat1,Oat2 and Oat3) of kidney organic anion transporter(Oats)in mice. METHODS:A total of 1 840 SPF NIH mice were randomly divided into nor-mal control group(isovolumic pure water),probenecid group(30 kg/mg),sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC)group,Pulsa-tillae radix,Corydalis rhizoma,Aconiti kusnezoffii radix,Aconiti radix,Angelicae pubescentis radix,Gleditsiae spina,Polygo-num cuspidatum,Kansui radix,Platycladi cacumen,Aucklandiae radix high and low dose groups. Mice were treated twice a day for 5 d,ig. After 1 h of the last dosing,they were iv given PAH in tail(30 mg/kg). The PAH pharmacokinetic parameters of the kidney homogenate were determined and the PAH intake in kidney tissue at the time point of 1,5,10,15 and 20 min was detect-ed. The PAH in blood was analyzed by DAS 2.0 software. The grouping and dosing were the same as before,after 1 h of the last dosing,kidney slices were made and put into PAH-buffer. The PAH intake of kidney slices was determined. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,the t1/2β in C. rhizoma high dose group,A. kusnezoffii high and low dose groups,A. pubescentis high dose group,P. cuspidatum high and low dose groups and P. cacumen group were increased;Vd were all decreased in 10 kinds of TCM high and low dose groups;except for A. pubescentis low dose group,G. spian low dose group and K. radix low dose group, the CL was decreased and AUC0-20 min was increased in all other groups,with significant difference (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Com-pared with normal control group,the content of PAH in kidney tissue in P. radix high dose group,C. rhizoma high dose group,A. kusnezoffii high dose group,A. radix high and low dose groups,A. pubescentis high and low dose groups,G. spina high and low dose groups,P. cuspidatum high and low dose groups,K. radix high and low dose groups,P. cacumen high and low dose groups and A. radix high and low dose groups were increased,with significant difference (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Compared with normal control group,the intake of PAH in kidney slices in C. rhizoma high dose group,A. kusnezoffii high and low dose groups,G. spi-na high and low dose groups,K. radix high dose group,P. ca-cumen high and low dose groups and A. radix high dose group were decreased,with significant difference (P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The 10 kinds of nephrotoxic TCM probably induced kidney injury through inhibiting the Oat1,Oat2 and Oat3 of Oats.

OBJECTlVE To investigate the inhibition of Radix lsatidis and its major constituents indigo and indirubin on three principal subtypes of organic anion transporters ( OATs) , Oat1, Oat2 and Oat3 in vivo in mice. METHODS Granules of Radix lsatidis ( GRl) 0.615 and 2.46 g·kg-1 , decoction of Radix lsatidis ( DRl) 1.6 and 6.4 g·kg-1 , indigo 0.008 and 0.64 mg·kg-1 and indirubin 0.0192 and 1.536 mg·kg-1 were ig given to the NlH mice (60 mice per group), twice a day, for 5 d while four control groups were set up, including vehicle of water, 0.5%sodium carboxymethyl cellulose ( CMC) , positive control probe-necid (0.05 g·kg-1) and additives of sucrose plus dextrin (1.5 g·kg-1 each) groups. After the last dosing of the test samples, para-aminohippuric acid ( PAH) clearance test was conducted. All the mice were iv given PAH 0.03 g·kg-1 and 1, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 and 20 min later before 10 mice per group were euthanized to collect whole blood and the kidneys were quickly removed. Each right kidney was homoge-nized to analyze the PAH accumulations and each left kidney to extract total mRNA for analysis of Oat1, Oat2 and Oat3 gene expressions using quantitative real-time PCR. The concentrations of PAH in sera and in kidney homogenates were determined by the method of Kiguchi. Major pharmacokinetic parame-ters of PAH in sera were calculated by pharmacokinetic software ( DAS2.0) . PAH uptake test for kidney slices was performed on another group of NlH mice according to the method of Nakakariya. RESULTS There was no significant difference between water control group and 0.5%CMC group in all the examined items. Compared with the vehicle control groups ( water and 0. 5%CMC group ) , elimination half time ( t1/2β) of PAH in GRl 2.46 g·kg-1 ,indigo 0.64 mg·kg-1 and indirubin 1.536 mg·kg-1 groups was signifi-cantly prolonged (P<0.05), the total clearance (Cl) and volume of distribution (Vd) were obviously reduced ( P<0.01) and the area under the curve ( AUC0-20 min ) of PAH in all the tested groups was signifi-cantly increased ( P<0.01) . AUC0-20 min obtained from renal PAH accumulations within the checked time was significantly higher ( P<0.05, P<0.01) than in the vehicle control group. But there was in no signifi-cant difference between all the study groups in kidney-to-plasma AUC ratios. PAH uptake results by kidney slices were significantly lower ( P<0. 05, P<0. 01 ) than in vehicle control group in every two dosages of all the four samples tested. Compared with vehicle control group, the mRNA expressions of Oat1, Oat2 and Oat3 were obviously ( P<0.05, P<0.01) and abnormally regulated in the groups of GRl 2.46 g·kg-1, DRl 6.4 g·kg-1, indigo 0.64 mg·kg-1 and indirubin 1.536 mg·kg-1. CONCLUSlON The renal Oat1, Oat2 and Oat3 of mice are significantly inhibited by GRl, DRl, indigo and indirubin. The inhibitory function of Radix lsatidis probably stems from indigo and indirubin contained in it.

Objective To investigate personal identification of mixed seminal stain of two individuals, we combined the detection of genotyping autosomal, Y and X STR and sequencing mtDNA hypervariable Ⅰ (HV Ⅰ ) region. Methods We analyzed autosomal, Y and X STR with commercial kit and separating and sequencing HVⅠfragments of mixed seminal stain from two males by SSCP electrophoresis. Results Four genetic markers of the high amount sample can be obtained when mixed ratio is more than 1:10. When the proportion of two samples is close, the suspect could be excluded or, to some extent, identified by comparing with our results. Conclusion The combined detection of four genetic marker systems can, to some degree, solve the personal identification from mixed seminal stain of two individuals.
