Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of hypophosphatemic osteomalacia induced by adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) in order to improve the understanding of the disease.Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed according to the medical records of 11 cases of ADV-induced hypophosphatemic osteomalacia.The medical history, laboratory indicators (ALT, AST, ALB, SCr, UA, blood glucose, blood pH, BE), bone metabolic markers (25OHD3, PTH, tP1NP, β-CTX, OC), urine indicators (urine pH, 24h urine Ca, 24h urine P, 24h urine Pro, urine Scr), DXA and skeleton ECT signs of the patients with hypophosphatemic osteomalacia induced by ADV were analyzed, and the symptoms, blood P, AKP level and urine routines were followed up after 1-month withdrawal and in July, 2016, respectively.Results: The mean ADV administration time of the 11 patients was (5.7±1.2) years, and the bone pain time was (2.2±0.6) years.The serum P was (0.45±0.99)mmol·L-1, 24h urine P was (17.9±4.8)mmol, AKP was (248±107)IU·L-1,the concentration threshold of renal phosphate was(0.31±0.10)mmol·L-1.After the one-month withdrawal of ADV, the bone pain in the patients were all relieved, and with the phosphorus supplement, the level of serum phosphorus was increased.In July of 2016, the average withdrawal time of ADV was (18.3±10.7) months, the serum phosphorus significantly increased and AKP significantly decreased when compared with that on the admission and 1 month after the ADV withdrawal (P<0.05), and the serum phosphorus of 2 patients returned to normal with the recovery rate of 20% (2/10).The regression analysis showed that the influencing factors on serum phosphorus on the admission were renal concentration threshold of phosphate and tP1NP (P<0.05);the influencing factor on serum phosphorus on the last follow-up was bone mineral density at the admission (P<0.05).Conclusion: Hypophosphatemic osteomalacia is a potential side effect of ADV, and ADV-induced renal injury is not completely reversible, which should be paid more attention in clinical work.

Objective To investigate the effect of Shuyuningxin decoction on the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in hippocampus of chronicstress depression rats. Methods 60 SD rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, fluoxetine group, high dose ofShuyuningxin decoction group, middle dose of Shuyuningxin decoction group and low dose of Shuyuningxin decoction group. All thegroups were given the chronic unpredicted mild stress for 21 d to induce depression models except the control group. Then they were administratedtheir drugs for 21 d. The level of Bcl-2 and Bax in hippocampus were investigated with immunohistochemistry technique. ResultsCompared with the control group, the level of Bax increased and Bcl-2 decreased in the model group (P<0.05). Compared with modelgroup, the level of Bax decreased and Bcl-2 increased in the middle dose of Shuyuningxin decoction group, high dose of Shuyuningxin decoctiongroup and the fluoxetine group (P<0.05). Conclusion The anti-depression effect of Shuyuningxin decoction may be associated withthe expression of Bax and Bcl-2.
