China Pharmacy 2017;28(26):3681-3684
OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of different dosages of bromocriptine in the treatment pro-lactinoma,and its effects on serum prolactin(PRL)and tumor volume. METHODS:A total of 60 patients with prolactinoma were selected from our hospital during Jan.-Dec. 2015 as research objects,and then divided into group A and B according to random number table,with 30 cases in each group. Both groups were given Bromocriptine mesilate tablets orally during meal. Group A was given medicine with initial dose of 2.5 mg/d,increasing to 3.75 mg/d 3 d later,increasing by 2.5 mg every week after 2-3 d,and then recovering to 3.75 mg/d till serum PRL level had been controlled. Group B was given medicine with initial dose of 1.25 mg/d, increasing to 2.5 mg/d 3 d later,increasing by 1.25-2.5 mg every week after 2-3 d,and then recovering to 2.5 mg/d till serum PRL level recovered to normal. Both groups were treated for consecutive 3 months. Clinical efficacies as well as serum level of PRL and tumor size were observed in 2 groups,and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:The total response rate of group A (83.33%) was higher than that of group B (66.67%),without statistical significance (P>0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in serum level of PRL and tumor size between 2 groups (P>0.05). After 1,2 months of treatment,serum levels of PRL in 2 groups were decreased significantly,and the group A was significantly lower than the group B,with statistical significance(P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment,serum levels of PRL in 2 groups were decreased significantly compared to be-fore treatment,but there was no statistical significance between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,tumor size of 2 groups were decreased significantly,and large adenoma and giant adenoma size in group A were significantly smaller than group B,with statisti-cal significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in microadenoma size between group A and B(P>0.05). The inci-dence of ADR in group A(12 cases,40.00%)was significantly higher than group B(5 cases,16.67%),with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Increasing dosages of bromocriptine no significant influence on therapeutic effect of prolactino-ma,but it can shorten the time of serum PRL level back to normal,and reduce the tumor size. The incidence of adverse reactions in-crease with the dosage.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of astragalus preconditioning on the tolerance of ischemia time of mouse small intestine . Methods C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 7): sham operation group (Sham group),intestinal ischemia reperfusion group (IR group) and astragalus preconditioning group (ASIR group). IR group and ASIR group include 2 sub-groups respectively, specifically, 2 h reperfusion was performed 45 min (ASIR1) and 60 min (ASIR1) after blocking superior mesenteric artery. Intestinal terminal morphology was observed by light microscope after HE coloration . Serum levels of LPS , DAO and intestinal mucosa TNF-α were measured by ELISA. Intestinal Cyto C expression were detected by immunofluorescence. Results Astragalus preconditioning reduces Chiu′s score significantly. Expression of Cyto C was significantly down-regulated in astragalus preconditioning groups, and levels of LPS, DAO and TNF-αsignificantly decreased. The damages in IR2 group is obviously severe than in IR1, but there were no significant differences between this two groups after pretreatment with astragalus. Conclusion Astragalus preconditioning has obvious protective effects to intestinal ischemia reperfusion, and enhances the tolerance to longer time of ischemia.

Objective To evaluate influence of patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) and patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) on expressions of serum inflammatory cytokines in elderly patients with hemi or whole hip replacement using cemented artificial joint. Methods Elderly patients undergoing hip replacement were selected and were divided into PCIA group and PCEA group. VAS scores were calculated at 12 h postoperatively. Patients whose VAS scores were not more than 2 at postoperative 12h were included. 30 cases in each group were finally included. Fifteen cases were randomly chosen in each group and underwent sample blood drawing for assays. Expressions of serum inflammatory cytokines were detected by ELISA , RT-PCR and Western-blot. Results Gene and protein expressions of TNF-a as well as IL-6 in group PCEA were lower and expression of IL-10 was higher than that in group PCIA. Serum level of TGb-β was higher in group PCEA detected by ELISA. There was no significant difference in expression of IL-8 between groups. Conclusions PCEA may better promote expressions of anti-inflammatory cytokines and inhibit expressions of proinflammatory cytokines. PCEA is superior in maintenance of inflammatory cytokine balance.
