However, cancer is highly concerned in foreign countries.

Objective Establish an objective and fair evaluation index system for the implementation effectiveness of the National Major New Drug Development Program of China.Methods Based on literature review and Delphi method,the framework of the evaluation index system was built and analytic hierarchy process was applied to determine the priority of each indicator of the system.The objectiveness and validness of the results were assured by determining expert activeness coefficient,authority coefficient,indicator rationality,and by applying consistency check.Results A targeted and systematic evaluation index system was constructed for the National Major New Drug Development Program,and through expert consultation and analytic hierarchy process,the factor of product result was considered of the highest weight of 39.03％,followed by technical result,theoretical result and organization and management result.The evaluation index system suggested that product result and technical result are two relatively more significant factors to be considered during evaluation.Conclu sion After consultation on expert opinions,the evaluation index system for the National Major New Drug Development Program was constructed with each factor been assigned with a scientific and rational weight,and this will provide a guideline for the decision making of program administrators and evaluation practice.

Objective Pleural effusion of patients with tuberculous pleurisy was analyzed by ultra high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS).Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) model was established for searching and analyzing the potential metabolic biomarkers to provide new ideas for the early diagnosis of tuberculosis pleurisy.Methods Totally 166 cases of pleural samples were collected from November 2012 to September 2013 in Tianjin Haihe Hospital (tuberculosis pleurisy 83 cases,bacterial pleurisy 31 cases,lung cancer 30 cases and heart failure 22 cases)and metabonomics quantitative analysis was conducted.Quantitative analysis of metabolic methods was enrolled.Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) model was constructed by the pattern recognition method.Based on the OPLS-DA model,potential biomarkers was filtered preliminary by variable importance in the projection (VIP) and VIP confidence interval value.The specific metabolites were determined by applying non-parametric test(Kruskal-Wallis H test)by using SPSS 17.0,and potential metabolic biomarkers were screened.Results The prediction accuracy of OPLS-DA model was 100％ (38/38),which illustrated that the model could verify the tuberculous pleurisy group and the control group accurately.Based on the data of metabolites,46 potential metabolites were finally screened and 5 metabolites were identified with statistically significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).The data of tuberculosis pleurisy group showed a significant increase in 17a,20a-Dihydroxy cholesteryl,phospholipid [20∶4 (8Z,11Z,14z,17Z)] (1 188 670.00),tocotrienols (1 051 760.00) and phospholipid(O-18:0) (434 394.00) compared with the lung cancer group(735 615.00,336 815.00,324 563.00,193 055.00),bacterial pleurisy group (1 678 805.00,598 256.50,699 384.00,343 866.00),and heart failure group(535 842.00,253 503.00,234 503.00,130 185.00) (H =26.787,18.680,26.193,21.024,P ＜0.01),and a significant decrease in L-phenylalanine(245 976.00)compared with the lung cancer group(753 033.50),bacterial pleurisy group (357 278.00),and heart failure group(586 678.00) (H =13.635,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The OPLSDA model constructed on the basic of UPLC-MS technology platform can verify the tuberculous pleurisy group and the control group accurately,and the study provides new ideas and methods for identifying features of tuberculous pleurisy markers and early diagnosis.

Background The excessive growth of human Tenon fibroblasts (HTFs) is a primary cause of failure of anti-glaucomatous filtering surgery.To seek a drug of anti-fibrosis is of an important significance for improving the successful rate of anti-glaucomatous filtration surgery.Objective The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of paclitaxel on proliferation of HTFs in vitro.Methods Human Tenon tissue was obtained during the anti-glaucomatous filtering surgery.HTFs were cultivated using explant method and 3-6 generations of cells were used in the experiment.The cells were identified by immunochemistry using keratin,vimentin,fibronectin and S-100.Different concentrations (0,1 ×10-s,1 × 10-7,1 × 10-6 mol/L) of paclitaxel were added into the medium,and then the cell indexes (CI) in the various groups were detected by real-time cell electronic sensing (RT-CES) 24 hours after affection of paclitaxel.Apoptosis of the cells was examined using DAPI staining,and the proportion of the cells in different cycles were assayed by flow cytorneter 12 hours after addition of paclitaxel.The expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) protein and mRNA were detected by ELISA and real-time PCR,respectively.Results The cells migrated from the cultivated tissue within 7 days with the fibrocyte-like shape.The cells showed the positive response for vimentin and absent response for keratin,fibronectin and S-100.The CI values were 1.093 ±0.191,0.665 ± 0.093 and 0.473 ± 0.117 in the 1 × 10-8,1 × 10-7 and 1 × 10-6 mol/L paclitaxel groups,showing significant rise in comparison with the 1.514 ±0.283 of the 0 mol/L paclitaxel group (all at P =0.000).The cell nuclei were normal in the 0 mol/L paclitaxel group,however,blue-fluorescent particles and apoptotic bodied were found in the cell nuclei after affection of paclitaxel.The proportion of G2/M phase of cells were (9.20±0.80) ％,(12.37±0.45)％ and (13.80±0.35)％ in the 1×10-8 mol/L,1×10-7 mol/L and 1×10-6 mol/L paclitaxel groups,which were higher than the (7.17±0.50) ％ in the 0 mol/L paclitaxel group (P=0.005,0.000,0.000).In addition,the relative expressing level of M MP-1 mRNA (MMP-1 mRNA/GAPDH mRNA) and the expression level of MMP-1 protein in the HTFs were significantly lower in the 1 ×10-8 mol/L,1 × 10-7 mol/L and 1 × 10-6 mol/L paclitaxel groups than those in the 0 mol/L group (all at P＜0.05).Conclusions Paclitaxel at the concentrations of 1 × 10-8 mol/L-1 × 10-6 mol/L inhibits the proliferation of HTFs in vitro by arresting the cellular mitosis and inducing cell apoptosis.These effects probably associated with down-regulation of MMP-1 expression in the HTFs.
