Triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)is a special subtype of breast cancer which is invalid to endocrine therapy.Anti-Her2 targeted therapies such as herceptin and lapatinib are not suitable to TNBC.At present,conventional chemotherapy is the only way for the medical therapy of TNBC.Thus,searching for novel therapeutic agents for TNBC is one of hot researches of breast cancer.New targeted therapy drugs such as PARP-1 inhibitors,EGFR inhibitors,CXCR4 inhibitors,anti-angiogenesis drugs,Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor,and mTOR inhibitor are being researched.

Neijing was a early medical classic existing in China and had a deep influence on the formation of traditional Chinese medicine. Besides, Neijing was also an ancient philosophic works, in which the severe view of heaven was recorded, laying a sound basis for the development of TCM. It would have great significance for health cultivation of patients with chronic liver diseases to analyze the theory on relation between human and nature recorded in Neijing and to absorb its rational contents.

Although the treatment has made great progress in breast cancer, there are still many problems. For example, primary or secondary on chemotherapy drug resistance and the limitation of treatment in triple-negative breast cancer. So, targeted therapy has become a new strategy to improve this situation. Previous studies showed that the occurrence of breast cancer may be related to the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways, and mTOR is an index to judge the prognosis. Parts of breast cancers can obtain clinical benefit with mTOR inhibitors, and it might be a potential treatment target in breast cancer.

AIM: To investigate the pharmacokinetic properties and bioequivalence of nifedipine sustained-release tablets after multiple doses administration in healthy volunteers. METHODS: Twenty two male healthy volunteers were enrolled in a randomized two-way crossover design with multiple doses (20 mg·d-1×7 d) study. Nitrendipine was used as the internal standard and the concentrations of nifedipine in plasma were determined by HPLC-APCI-MS. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and the bioequivalence were compared by DAS (ver 1.0) program. RESULTS: The pharmacokinetic parameters of test and reference preparations were as follows: Cmax (52.5±27.4) and (54.0±31.2) ng·ml-1;Cmin (5.4±4.1) and (6.2±5.9) ng·ml-1;Cav (16.8±9.2) and (19.3±12.4) ng·ml-1;Tmax (3.7±0.9) and (4.1±1.1) h;t1/2 (8.9±4.9) and (8.5±3.1) h;AUC0-τ (403.4±221.0) and (461.9±296.6) μg·h·L-1, AUC0-36h (444.4±256.1) and (503.1±330.9) ng·h·ml-1;AUC0-∞ (482.1±268.9) and (542.3±348.4) ng·h·ml-1;DF (299.8±117.7)% and (279.2±97.5)%, respectively. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in Tmax, Cmax, Cmin, Cav, DF, AUC0-τ, AUC0-36h, AUC0-∞ and t1/2 between the two preparations. The relative bioavailability of test tablets was (100.6±38.6)%. CONCLUSION:The test and reference preparations were bioequivalence.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of moxifloxacin in treating lower respiratory infection.METHODS Totally 102 patients were enrolled in this study,but 3 cases were infixed or weeded.Fifty cases of trial group were given 400mg of moxifloxacin intravenously,once a day for 7-14 days,49 cases of control group were given 400mg of levofloxacin intravenously,once a day for 7-14 days.RESULTS The clinical efficacious rates of moxifloxacin and levofloxacin were 94.0% and 79.6%,respectively.The bacterial clearance rates of moxifloxacin and levofloxacin were 94.3% and 77.8%,respectively.There was significant difference(P0.05) between two groups.CONCLUSIONS Moxifloxacin injection is an effective and safe antibiotics for the treatment of lower respiratory tract infection.

Objective To investigate adverse events report intent and its influencing factors in clinical nurses. Methods Questionnaire investigation was conducted among 917 clinical nurses from ten hospitals in Tai'an city using the Intent to Report Questionnaire. Results The score of clinical nurses adverse events report intent was 36.80 ± 19.71. The score of each dimension in descending order were:nurses operation adverse events, system process adverse events, and patient care adverse events. Hospital levels were significant influencing factors of clinical nurses adverse events report intent. Pressure sores were the most frequently reported, and report of patient injury caused by unreasonable nurse manpower allocation was the lowest frequency. Conclusions The level of clinical nurses adverse events report intent need to be improved. Nursing managers should pay attention to improve nurse reporting adverse event in order to better promote the safety of patients and reduce occurrence of adverse event.

PurposeTo explore the value of gemstone spectral imaging (GSI) in diagnosis of thyroid nodule hemorrhage.Materials and Methods Seventeen patients with surgery and pathology confirmed thyroid nodule hemorrhage underwent thyroid spectrum CT scan. The CT value, iodine concentration value, water concentration value and the effective atomic ordinal value as well as spectral curve slope of hemorrhagic nodules and surrounding normal thyroid tissue were measured respectively.Results Hemorrhagic thyroid nodules showed equal or high CT value, low concentration of iodine, high concentration of water, low spectral curve slope, and low effective atomic ordinal value on spectral CT imaging. There were statistically significant differences in concentration of iodine value, concentration of water value, and spectral curve slope between hemorrhagic nodules and surrounding normal thyroid tissue (Z=-5.438,-4.679 and-5.317,P<0.01), and there were statistically significant differences in CT value and effective atomic ordinal value (Z=-2.097 and-2.230,P<0.05).Conclusion Energy spectrum CT scan is important in detection and accurate diagnosis of thyroid nodule hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of 4 cases with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) complicated by chylothorax and chylous ascites.Methods Clinical manifestations,laboratory examinations,treatment and prognosis of 4 patients with SLE complicated by chylothorax and chylous ascites,who were admitted to our center in recent 13 years,were retrospectively analyzed.Results Four patients were female.The average age of SLE at presentation was 38 years (ranging from 31 to 47 years of age).The average disease duration of chylothorax and chylous ascites was 6.5 months (ranging from 3 to 12 months).Of the 4 patients,3 were complicated with chylothorax and chylous ascites,and 1 with chylothorax.Three patients were treated with corticosteroid,and 2 patients were treated combined with immuno-suppressive agents (cyclophosphamide or ciclosporin A).Chylothorax and chylous ascites improved in 1 patient.Conclusion The clinical manifesta-tions of chylothorax and chylous ascites are relatively rare in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus,and more attention should be given to improve the quality of life of these patients.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of a raltegravir (RAL)-containing regimen among patients on methadone maintenance therapy.Methods From January 2010 to November 2010, 30 virus (HIV) treatment naive patients who were on methadone maintenance therapy were enrolled from a HIV clinic in Kunming, Yunnan Province and a HIV clinic in Hengyang, Hunan Province.All patients were given RAL, tenofovir (TDF) and lamivudine (3TC) as highly active antiretroviral therapy (HARRT).Patients were followed up for 48 weeks to evaluate the adjustment of methadone dose, opiate withdrawal reaction, antiretroviral efficacy and safety.Results From January 2010 to November 2010, 30 HIV patients were enrolled from the two appointed HIV clinics.The mean age was 39±6 years, with 73.3% male patients and 97% Han population.Before the treatment, their mean CD4+T lymphocyte counts was 210 /μL.Ninety percent of patients were co-infected with hepatitis C.Twenty-nine patients who completed study follow-up were included in final analysis.Five (17.8%) patients reported opiate withdrawal symptoms and increased methadone dose 4 weeks after HARRT.At 24 weeks and 48 weeks of HARRT, the average increase of CD4+T lymphocyte counts were (136±71) /μL and (185±88)/μL, respectively.Among patients who provided valid HIV-1 RNA testing results, 82.6% (19/23) and 95.8% (23/24) of patients had undetectable viral load at week 24 and week 48.Six grade 1-2 adverse events were reported in 4 patients.Conclusions In this pilot study, the new regimen containing RAL, TDF and 3TC appears to be an ideal option for patients on methadone maintenance therapy, because of its limited impact on methadone dose and good efficacy and safety profile.
