1.Research Progress in Intravesical Chemotherapy for Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer
China Pharmacist 2016;19(9):1747-1751
Bladder cancer is the most common malignant solid tumor in urinary system. More than 75% cases of bladder cancer have been diagnosed as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer ( NMIBC ) . Transurethral resection of bladder tumor ( TURBT ) is the standard method for the diagnosis and treatment for bladder cancer, however, due to its problem of recurrence, adjuvant intravesical therapy with either immunotherapy or chemotherapy has been used to reduce recurrence and achieve better efficacy for the patients in appropriate stages. The review focused on current progress in chemotherapy agents, targeted bladder drug delivery systems and treat-ment strategies for NMIBC, which would provide guidance for clinical intravesical chemotherapy.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical individual medication of voriconatole. METHODS:The distribution of MIC of voriconazole to Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans were summarized as well as the pharmacokinetic parameters of voriconazole in different populations. Using probability of target attainment(PTA)and cumulative fraction of response(CFR)as indexes,crystal ball software 11.1.2.4 was used for Monte Carlo simulation of different dosage regimens of same population and same dosage regimen of different populations. RESULTS:For children with impaired immunity,when the drug doses of were 4,6 mg/kg and MIC was lower than 0.125 mg/L,PTA was higher than 90%;when the drug doses was increased to 8 mg/kg and MIC was lower than 0.125 mg/L,PTA was higher than 90%. For different populations receiving same dosage regimens(4 mg/kg),MIC of teenagers with impaired immunity was lower than 0.25 mg/L and those of healthy adults,patients underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and adults with impaired immunity were all lower than 0.5 mg/L,PTA was higher than 90%. CFR to A. fumigatus were 42.53%,58.41%,77.74%,70.16%,89.40%,93.72%,95.42% and CFR to C. albicans were 96.68%,97.13%,97.94%, 97.54%,98.07%,98.28%,98.35%among children with impaired immunity receiving different drug doses(4,6,8 mg/kg)and dif-ferent populations receiving drug dose of 4 mg/kg(teenagers with impaired immunity,healthy adults,patients underwent hemato-poietic stem cell transplantation,adults with impaired immunity). CONCLUSIONS:Various dosage regimens of different popula-tions included in this study could effectively control C. albicans infection. It is necessary to increase the drug dose of children and teenagers with impaired immunity in order to meet the needs of A. fumigatus infection treatment.

Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2020;36(1):120-124
Objective: To explore the application value of MRI quantitative analysis in evaluation on therapeutic effect of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of the wrist. Methods: Totally 30 patients with RA after regular treatment for 1 year were enrolled. The wrist joint was scanned before and after treatment, and the volume of synovitis and bone marrow edema before and after treatment were measured by using the quantitative analysis software. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and disease activity score of 28 (DAS28) were also obtained. Changes of synovitis, bone marrow edema, CRP, ESR and DAS28 were analyzed before and after treatment, correlation analysis was performed on the changes of synovitis and bone marrow edema with changes of CRP, ESR and DAS28. Results: After treatment, the volume of synovitis, the range of bone marrow edema, CRP, ESR and DAS28 of the patients reduced significantly (all P<0.05). Synovitis was strongly correlated with changes in bone marrow edema (r=0.61, P<0.01). Changes in synovitis and bone marrow edema were not significantly correlated with those of ESR and CRP (all P>0.05), while changes in synovitis and bone marrow edema were moderately correlated with changes of DAS28 (r=0.50, 0.56, P=0.01,<0.01). Conclusion: MRI quantitative analysis can be used as accurate and Objective: quantitative indices for monitoring and evaluating therapeutic effect of RA.
