Objective:To analyze the distribution of UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms in Chinese Han patients with extensive-disease small cell lung cancer(ED-SCLC),and evaluate the correlation between UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms and toxicity and efficacy of irino-tecan(CPT-11) based regimen in the patients with ED-SCLC. Methods: The analysis of UGT1A1?28 and UGT1A1?6 gene poly-morphisms was performed in 67 patients with ED-SCLC admitted in our hospital from June 2011 to January 2013. The 67 cases with ED-SCLC treated with irinotecan(CPT-11) based regimen were enrolled to observe the adverse events and efficacy during the chemo-therapy, including objective responserate rate ( ORR) , progression free survival ( PFS) and overall survival ( OS) . The incidence of different genotypes was compared. Results:The distribution of UGT1A1 genotypes in the 67 patients was follows:UGT1A1?28 wild-type (WT) genotype TA6/6 (56, 83. 6%), heterozygous genotype TA6/7 (11, 16. 4%);UGT1A1?6 wild-type (WT) genotype G/G (45,67. 2%), heterozygous genotype G/A (22,32. 8%). No significant difference of PFS and OS was observed between the differ-ent genotypes. The incidence of grade 3 and 4 delayed diarrhea and neutropenia in the patients carrying UGT1A1?6 G/A was higher than that in those with WT genotype (36. 4% vs. 6. 6%, P<0. 05;27. 2% vs. 4. 4%, P<0. 05, respectively). The incidence of grade 3 and 4 thrombocytopenia in the patients carrying UGT1A1?28 TA6/7 was higher than that in those with WT genotype (27. 2%vs. 1. 8%, P<0. 05). The patients simultaneously carrying UGT1A1?28 TA6/7 and UGT1A1?6 G/A were prone to suffering 3 and 4 delayed diarrhea and neutropenia. Conclusion: UGT1A1 polymorphisms may predict the adverse events of CPT-11 in ED-SCLC, while can not predict the efficacy of CPT-11.

OBJECTIVE:To study the development and status quo of narcotics and psychotropic substances (NPS) in China since 1949,and to provide evidence for perfection of NPS control work in China. METHODS:The development and status quo of controlled substances control by China since 1949 were summarized and analyzed through retrieving and collecting literatures,re-ports and policies about NPS from domestic and foreign databases,news reports and related website. RESULTS & CONCLU-SIONS:Chinese narcotics and psychotropic substances control dated back to the release of Interim Regulations on Narcotics Con-trol in 1950 and Regulations on Narcotics Control,Drug Administration Law and other regulations have been issued. It had experi-enced the progress from no legal basis to having laws to follow and from executive-leading to legalization. Narcotics and psychotro-pic substances were gradually unified in systematic control,and the level of regulations rised from department rules to administra-tion regulation. At present,with Regulations on Narcotics and Psychotropic Drugs Control (2005) as regulatory basis and cata-logue of narcotics and psychotropic substances(2013)as object,China Food and Drug Administration are in charge of the national regulation,cooperating with health department,agricultural department,traffic department and other departments.

OBJECTIVE:To study the development and status quo of controlled drugs control in Britain,and to provide evi-dence for narcotics and psychotropic substances(NPS)control in China. METHODS:The development and status quo of NPS con-trol by Britain were summarized and studied through retrieving and collecting literatures,reports and policies about NPS from do-mestic and foreign databases,news reports and international website. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:British control for controlled drugs dated back to Pharmacy Act in 1868,and Britain was the first country to control drugs by legislations. A unique British sys-tem of narcotics control was established and improved after issued Rolleston Report and two pieces of Brain Report in Britain. Final-ly,the British system of narcotics control was established,which combined public health prevention with judicial redress. At pres-ent,controlled drugs are classified and controlled by Advisory Committee on Drug Abuse,Serious Organised Crime Agency and National Drug Abuse Treatment Agency subordinated to Ministry of Interior,based on Misuse of Drugs Act.

OBJECTIVE:To study the development and status quo of international narcotics and psychotropic substances (NPS)control,and to provide evidence for NPS control in China. METHODS:The development and status quo of NPS control by international organization were summarized and studied through retrieving and collecting literatures,reports and policies about NPS from domestic and foreign databases,news reports and international website. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:International narcot-ics control dated back to opium trade with China in 19th century. International narcotics control system was established preliminarily by Shanghai conference and Haiya conference. The end of World War Ⅰ,the establishment of the League of Nations and the sign-ing of a number of international treaties promoted the development of internal control system. Through World War Ⅱ,the establish-ment of the United Nations and the change of international control organization,a number of international treaties were integrated into Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs in the early 1960s,which was used as the foundation of narcotics control system all round the world. In 1970s,the adoption of Convention on Psychotropic Substances meant psychotropic substances were included in the scope of internal control. In 1980s,the signing of United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psy-chotropic Substances marked the establishment of three conventions system of international NPS control. At present,internal NPS control is based on three conventions system and NPS list by Commission on Narcotic Drugs,International Narcotics Control Board and United Nations International Drug Control Program. The vast majority of countries are parties to that. International control orga-nizations and listed control have a great influence on NPS control all round the world.

OBJECTIVE:To make proposals to improve narcotics and psychotropic substances(NPS)control in China. METH-ODS:NPS control system of international organizations,the United States,Britain and China were compared in terms of concept, classification,regulatory basis and agency,etc. The suggestions and reference were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:NPS of international organizations,the United States,Britain and China are drug types included in relevant categories,besides ana-leptics,precursor chemicals and other drugs are included in control catalogue by the United States and Britain. NPS are divided in-toⅠ-Ⅳcategories by international organizations,Ⅰ-Ⅴcategories by the United States,A,B,C categories and temporary catego-ry by Britain,and narcotics,first and second class psychotropic substances by China. NPS control basis of the United States,Brit-ain and China are Controlled Substances Act,Misuse of Drugs Act and Regulations on Narcotics and Psychotropic Drugs Control, respectively;major regulation organizations are Controlled Substances Enforcement Administration,Advisory Committee on Drug Abuse subordinated to Ministry of Interior,Special Drug Section under China Food and Drug Administration,respectively;there al-so are differences in the functions of control organization and cooperative units. Considering about the problems of NPS control in China,it is suggested to improve laws and regulations system,establish independent system,extend abuse surveillance network and encourage chronic non-cancer pain therapy.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2018;49(12):2809-2816
Objective To optimize the formulation ratio and preparation process of galactosylated cantharidin liposome (Lac-CTD- lips) and establish its methodology for content determination. Methods The method of determination of GC-MS cantharidin content was established by film dispersion method. The entrapment efficiency of cantharidin was evaluated as an index. The preparation process of Lac-CTD-lips was optimized by single factor and orthogonal experiments. Its surface characteristics, encapsulation efficiency, particle size, and Zeta potential were also investigated. Results The best prescription was as follow: cantharidin: hydrogenated soya lecithin:cholesterol at 1:20:5, 10% galactoside, film-forming at 50 ℃, film cleaning with 30 mL of PBS solution of pH 6.0, and hydartion at 40 ℃ for 1.5 h. The resulting liposomes exhibited a pale blue opalescent appearance, a spherical particle morphology, and a more rounded surface with no adhesion. The average particle size was (123.9 ± 4.8) nm (n = 3), the particle size distribution was single-peak, the zeta potential was (-0.36 ± 0.81) mV (n = 3), and the encapsulation efficiency was over 75%. Conclusion GC-MS is suitable for the determination and analysis of cantharidin content. The optimal preparation technology from orthogonal experiment is stable and reliable. The obtained liposomes have higher encapsulation efficiency, small particle size, and good appearance.
9. Research Progress in Co-Delivery of Anti-multidrug Resistant Small RNA and Anti-tumor Drugs with Nanocarriers
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2018;53(19):1621-1626
The efficacy of antineoplastic drugs in cancer treatment is often hampered by drug resistance of tumor cells, which is usually caused by abnormal gene expression. The formation mechanism of multidrug resistance is very complex. Conventional drugs or gene therapy usually only aim at a specific drug target, so it is difficult to effectively control the complex signaling pathways of drug-resistant cells. The co-delivery of small RNA (siRNA ormiRNA) and anti-tumor drugs with nanocarriers can maximize the synergistic effect, and reverse the multidrug resistance of tumor cells by silencing some related proteins. This review summarizes the mechanisms and advantages of the combination therapies involving RNA and antineoplastic drugs, in vitro and in vivo evaluation, as well as the recent advances in the co-delivery nanocarriers for these agents.

Objective To investigate morphological and synthetic alteration of enterochromaffin(EC) cells of intestinal mucosa in patients with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS). Methods Fifty cases of IBS were classified into diarrhea predominant and constipation predominant in accordance with RomeⅡ criteria. Colon biopsy tissues were stained through Envision immunohistochemistry. Morphological changes of EC cells in intestinal mucosa were also studied by electron microscopy. Results EC cells were seen in the crypt of intestinal mucosa. The shapes and the number of EC cells in diarrhea predominant IBS and constipation predominant IBS increased remarkably, compared with those in controls (15.90 ?5.09, 14.73?2.73 vs. 7.27?2.50). It was shown that EC cells synthesized excessive 5 hydroxytryptamine (5 HT) by immunohistochemistry. The function of EC cells in IBS was active under electron microscopy. Conclusions Active enteral EC cells noticed in IBS indicate that excessive 5 HT may play an important role in the pathogenesis of IBS.
