OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of Tibetan medicine Zuotai on the activities of cytochrome oxidase (CYP1A2) and drug metabolism enzyme N-acetyltransferase 2(NAT2)in rats. METHODS:70 SD rats were equally randomized into a normal control (normal saline) group,the groups of single administration of low,middle and high-dose (1.2,3.8 and 12 mg/kg) Zuotai and the groups of multiple administrations thereof(once daily for 12 consecutive days). The rats were given drugs ig. caffeine(25 mg/kg)was given ig to the rats in the normal control group and the groups of single administration on the 2nd day,and to those in the groups of multiple administrations on the 13th day. 5 h later,their urine was collected and added with vitamin C based on 10 mg/ml. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was adopted to determine the cafeine metabolites contents of 5-acetami-do-6-formamido-3-methyl-uric acid(AFMU),1-methylxanthine(1X),1-methyl-uric acid(1U)and 1,7-dimethyl uric acid(17U) in rats’urine,and the activities of CYP1A2 and NAT2 were reflected through (AFMU+1X+1U)/17U and AFMU/(AFMU+1X+1U). RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,the(AFMU+1X+1U)/17U and AFMU/(AFMU+1X+1U)in rats were de-creased,namely the activities of CYP1A2 and NAT2 were lower in the groups of single administration of middle-dose Zuotai and multiple administrations of middle and high-dose Zuotai than in the normal control group. There was statistical difference (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Zuotai can obviously inhibit the activities of CYP1A2 and NAT2 in rats.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequential platinum regimen in young patients with diffuse large B-cell lym-phoma (DLBCL). Methods:Newly diagnosed young patients with DLBCL, who were hospitalized from January 2005 to June 2012 in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University, were selected according to the requirements. The patients were divided into stan-dard and sequential platinum regimen groups. The remission rates were compared usingχ2 test, whereas the five-year survival rates between the two groups were compared using the Kaplan–Meier method. Multivariate survival analysis was performed using the Cox proportional regression. Subgroup analysis was conducted to select candidate patients for the sequential platinum regimen. Results:A total of 331 patients were enrolled in the study, in which 129 were provided with sequential platinum regimen and 202 were provided with the standard regimen. Sequential regimen yielded higher rates of complete remission (80%vs. 63%, P=0.001), five-year progres-sion-free survival (PFS;60%vs. 50%, P=0.014), and overall survival (OS;70%vs. 58%, P=0.016) than the standard regimen. Multivariate analysis revealed that sequential regimen was an independent prognostic factor for PFS (hazard ratio HR=0.635, P=0.012) and OS (HR=0.625, P=0.021). Subgroup analysis showed that patients with good prognosis and patients who did not receive rituximab benefited more from the sequential platinum regimen. Sequential platinum regimen did not increase the occurrence of adverse effects com-pared with the standard regimen. Conclusion:Sequential platinum regimen is a safe treatment that can improve the survival of young patients with DLBCL. Patients with good prognosis and patients who did not receive rituximab can benefit more from the treatment with sequential platinum regimen.

Objective: To observe the changes of circulating fractalkine and its receptor CX3CR1 level in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF).
Methods: Our work included 2 group, CHF group, n=55 patients and Control group, n=25 healthy subjects. Plasma level of soluble fractalkine (sFKN) was measured by ELISA, CX3CR1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cell was examined by lfow cytometry method. The relationship between sFKN and NT-proBNP was studied.
Results: Compared with Control group, CHF group had increased sFKN level, P=0.004, and the patients with NYHY III, IV were more than NYHY II, and CHF group also had the higher CX3CR1 expression (14.7 ± 8.1), P<0.05. The CX3CR1 level increased accordingly with NYHY classiifcation, as the patients with NYHY II, CX3CR1 was at (25.1 ± 12.4), P=0.03 compare with Control group;with NYHY III, CX3CR1 was at (37.3 ± 11.0) , P=0.04 compared with NYHY II;with NYHY IV, CX3CR1 was at (41.7 ± 11.1), P=0.009 compared with NYHY II. The circulating sFKN level was positively related to pro-BNP level (r=0.364, P<0.01).
Conclusion: The circulating FKN l and its receptor CX3CR1 might be involved in pathogenesis of immune-inlfammatory pathogenesis in CHF patients.

Objective To compare the effects of different doses of adenosine(AD)on the left coronary blood flow(CBF)and left coronary flow reserve(CFR)in mini-swine.Methods By using Doppler flow wire and intracoronary ultrasound imaging catheter at the middle segment of LAD,coronary average peak flow velocity(APV)and lumen area were measured in 10 healthy mini-swines.CBF was calculated from the equation of 0.6 APV times 0.5 lumen area.Intracoronary bolus injection of different dose AD(12μg,18μg,24 μg and 36μg,separately)was used to induce maximal coronary hyperemic reaction.CFR was defined as the ratio of hyperemic CBF to resting CBF.Results Intracoronary bolus injection of 18μg AD level induced a maximal coronary vasodilation.Significant difference in the hyperemic CBF existed between 12 μg AD dose and 24μg or 36μg AD dose(P＜0.05).No significant difference in heart rate,blood pressure,rCBF and CFR was found among three different AD dose groups(18μg,24μg,and 36μg).Conclusion CBF and CFR in mini-swine can be effectively assessed by bolus injection of AD with the dose of(18～24)μg.
