China Pharmacist 2016;19(7):1334-1336
Objective:To investigate the effect of roxithromycin on airway inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) patients at stable phase to provide evidence for the clinical diagnosis and treatment .Methods:Totally 46 cases of outpatients with stable COPD were divided into the observation group and the control group .The control group received the conventional treatment , while the observation group was treated with roxithromycin capsules 150mg.d-1 additionally, and the treatment course was 10 months. The sputum, serum cytokines γ-IFN, IL-8 and TNF-αlevels, sputum leukocyte , neutrophil count and adverse reactions were observed and compared between the groups .Results:After the 5-month treatment, the levels of γ-IFN, IL-8 and TNF-αcytokines in serum and sputum in the observation group were significantly lower than those before the treatment (P<0.05) and in the control group (P<0.05).After the 10-month treatment, the above indices in the observation were further decreased when compared with those after the 5-month treatment (P<0.05), which were notably lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).There was only one case of ad-verse drug reactions in the observation group , and the patient was out of the study .Conclusion:Long-term use of roxithromycin at low dose can reduce cytokines in serum and sputum and inflammatory cell count in sputum in stable COPD patients , which exhibits the effect on airway inflammation to some extent .
2.Angiopoietin-2 and tumor angiogenesis
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(5):352-355
Tumor angiogenesis is an important way of rapid proliferation and metastasis for malignancies,and a variety of cellular and molecular factors involved in the process.Angiopoietin-2(Ang-2) is one of the important vascular endothelial growth factor,which influences tumor angiogenesis mainly through releasing vascular structures and damaging the vessel stability.Recent researches reveal that Ang-2 modulates tumor angiogenesis interacting with other vascular growth factors.With the new research progress,Ang-2 will not only be an important target for antiangiogenic therapy,but also further improve clinical efficacy of antitumor therapy combined with other signal pathways as common targets.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2008;15(10):1649-1650
Objective To analyze the characteristics and therapeutic effects in the elderly patients with acute eholangitis of severe type(ACST) Methods The clinical data of 60 cases of elderly patients with ACST. Results The cured 44 cases(73.3% )and 16 deaths(26.7% ) ,the cause of death:septic shock four cases (25.0%) ,3 cases of acute renal failure(18.8%) ,ARDS four cases(25.0% ) ,multi - organ failure five cases(31.3% ). Incidence surgery within 24 h the deaths of three cases( 18.8% ) ,significantly less than 24 h after surgery incidence death in 13 cases (81.3%) ( X2= 7.72, P<0.01 );correct preoperative shock has been 40 cases, six cases of death ( 15.0% ) was significantly lower than the preoperative shock not corrected in 20 cases,death in 10 patients(50.0% ) ( X2=6.75 ,P <0.01 ). Conclusion The cure rate was improved from early diagnosis and perioperative management in the elderly patients with acute cholangitis of severe type.

Objective To reduce the complications of male indwelling urinary catheter and improve patient compliance by improved the traditional male urinary catheter.Methods Inspired by using ‘condom’‘fresh-keeping bags’and other pseudo catheter in clinic,the tradi-tional male urinary catheter was improved as‘pseudo catheter ’and the hydrocolloid dressing was used as bonding device.Results An im-proved male urinary catheter was successfully designed,which applied in 68 patients without urinary tract infection,catheterization failure nor foreskin edema.Conclusion The improved male urinary catheter has the advantages of less cost,simple operation,no pain,higher patient com-pliance and less complications,wihch is worthy to spread in clinic,especially in young patients and long-term bedridden elderly patients at home.

Objective To evaluate the expression and significance of P-glycoprotein(P-gp) in colorectal carcinoma. Methods The expression patterns of P-gp in 48 patients with colorectal carcinoma were examined by immunohistochemistry SP mothod and were analyzed its correlation to clinic opathological features. Results The expression of P-gp was related to lympy node metastasis. Its expression was not related to sex and age of the patients, localization of the primary tumor, tumorsize, histological grade, localinvasion, distant metastasis and Duke's stage. Conclusion Detecting the expression of P-gp might play an important role in chemotherapy strategy of colorectal carcinoma.
