OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for drug registration declaration. METHODS:The disapproval comments of Chi-na Food and Drug Administration on the declared drugs in Guangdong Province in 2015 were collected,existing problems in cur-rent drug registration declaration in clinical trials stage and registered production stage were analyzed. And suggestions were put for-ward based on relevant policies and regulations. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Reasons for the rejection of declaring chemical drugs in clinical trials stage mainly focused on that there had been imported drugs applied for registration or new drugs entering monitoring period. While pharmacy research quality defects,especially insufficient research in impurities and relevant materials, are the main problems of declaring clinical trials and production. In terms of clinical trail declaration,applicant should respond to new drug registration classification reform,strengthen original innovation development;the development of biological products should establish comprehensive and effective evaluation system to form superior technology and products. In terms of drug registra-tion production declaration,related departments or drug manufacturers should enhance the evaluation for drug form and specifica-tions design,and generic drugs should pay attention to the consistency evaluation with the original research drugs. Besides,the above problems can be solved by conducting scientific and feasible research methods for impurities and related material,and pay at-tention to enlarging research of forward-looking production technology.

Objective To investigate the nutrition statuses of thiamine and riboflavin and their relationship with the antioxidant capacity and blood glucose and lipids levels in the middle-aged and elderly. Methods Totally 314 subjects aged above 40 years old from communities in Shanghai were enrolled. The 3-day survey of 24-hour's diet recall was made to evaluate the daily nutrient intakes using a nutrition assessment software provided by CDC China. Thiamine and riboflavin levels were detected by urine load test. Fasting blood glucose ( FBG), total choles-terol (TC), triglyceride (TG), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) were deter-mined by commercial kits. Results The average daily intakes of thiamine and riboflavin were (0. 82 + 0. 36) and (0. 91 +0.48) rag, respectively. The middle-aged and elderly whose intakes of thiamine and riboflavin reached recommended nutrient intake (RNI) level accounted for 11.8% and 17.2%, while those lower than 60% RNI ac-counted for 51.3% and 49. 4%, respectively. Urine load test showed the deficiency rates of thiamine and ribofla-vin were 65.0% and 58.6%, respectively. Compared with the normal group, plasma MDA, FBG, TC, and TG levels progressively increased and SOD activity decreased in insufficient and deficient groups; the plasma MDA, FBG, and TC levels were significantly different between normal group and thiamine deficient group ( P < 0. 05 ).The FBG and TC levels were negatively correlated with the status of thiamine ( r = - 0. 246, r = - 0. 154, P <0. 05). The MDA and TG levels were negatively correlated with the status of riboflavin ( r = - 0. 136, r =-0. 297, P <0. 05). Conclusions The nutrition statuses of thiamine and riboflavin are poor in the middle-aged and elderly in Shanghai. The nutritional statuses of thiamine and riboflavin are positively correlated with the antioxi- dant capacities and are negatively correlated with the level of FBG, TC, and TG.

Objective To study the relationship between trace elements and blood lipids and glucose in Shanghai adults. Methods Totally 245 subjects aged above 18 years from two communities in Shanghai were en-rolled into this study. Blood trace elements (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mg, Pb, Mn, and Cd) were examined with atom ab-serption spectrophotometry. Body mass index (BMI), waist hip rate (WHR), and blood pressure (SBP, DBP)were also determined. Results Compared with the normal control group, plasma Fe and Mn levels were signifi-cantly lower while Zn and Zn/Cu levels were significantly higher in hyperlipemia group (P <0.05 or P <0. 01 ) ;plasma Zn, Zn/Cu, and Mn levels were significantly lower while Cu and Pb levels were significantly higher in dia- betes mellitus group (P <0. 05 or P <0. 01 ) . A tendency of lower Mg and higher Cd levels were also found in both disease groups, but there were no statistical significance ( P >0. 05 ). Conclusions The metabolism of trace elements is abnormal in patients with hyperlipemia and diabetes mellitus. Intervention of these trace elements disor-der may be valuable in the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

Background and purpose: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), is precursor lesions of invasive breast cancer, belongs to non-systemic ductal lesions, which is similar to other ductal lesions on imaging. This study aimed to investigate the differential diagnostic value of MRI in DCIS between DCIS with microinvasion (DCIS-MI) and breast intraductal papilloma (BIDP). Methods:All the cases were surgico-pathologically conifrmed. Twenty-four patients were DCIS, 9 patients were DCIS-MI, and 20 patients were BIDP. The MRI charateristics of DCIS, DCIS-MI and BIDP were analyzed and compared. Results:DCIS and DCIS-MI’s performance in the form of MRI is dififcult to differentiate (P<0.05). Compared with BIDP, the ductal and segmental enhancement, typeⅢtime-signal intensity curve (TIC), and the red pseudo-color image were associated with the DCIS. The local area enhancement, typeⅡTIC, and no-red pseudo-color image were associated with BIDP. Conclusion:MRI is a useful for differentiate between DCIS and BIDP, but is dififcult for DCIS and DCIS-MI.

Objective To observe the effect of Shenxian Yiganling Tablets ( SYT) , a Chinese herbal recipe with the actions of tonifying kidney and removing toxicity, combined with HBsAg gene-modified dendritic cells (DC/HBsAg) on immune response and hepatocyte damage of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transgenic mice. Methods HBV transgenic mice ( Tg mice) were immunized with injection of DC/HBsAg ( 100 μg every three weeks) through caudal vein, and then were given intragastric administration of SYT in the dosage of 12.8, 23.5, and 47.0 mg/d for four weeks. HBV Tg mice splenic T cell cytokines of interleukin 2 ( IL-2) and interferon gamma ( IFN-γ) levels as well as serum alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase ( AST) conents were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) . Lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) release assay was used to detect the in-vitro cytotoxic activity of splenic HBsAg specific T lymphocytes. Serum HBsAg level of HBV Tg mice was detected by ELISA after immunization. Results Compared with DC/HBsAg administration alone, DC/HBsAg combined with SYT could significantly increase HBV Tg mice splenic T cells cytokines IL-2 and IFN-γ levels ( P<0.05 or P<0.01) , increase the cytotoxic activity of HBsAg-specific T lymphocytes ( P<0.05 or P<0.01), increase the inhibition rate of HBsAg expression (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and reduce hepatocyte damage. Conclusion SYT could enhance the immune response of Tg mice to DC/HBsAg immunization, and relieve the hepatic damage, which enable the HBV clearance process out of hepatic damage in the case of anti-HBV activity of IFN-γbeing unaffected.

Background and purpose:Histological grade of DCIS is an important factor in the prognosis, high nuclear grade have higher inifltration trend and recurrence rate. This study aimed to evaluate the dynamic and morphological MRI charactristics of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast, then analyze its relations with nuclear grade. Methods:Of the 94 patients, 97 lesions were proved DCIS by pathology. The morphology, maximum size, time-intensity curve of lesion were recorded or measured. Statistic was performed to identify MR imaging features that optimally discriminated HNG from non-HNG DCIS. Results:There were 49 non mass-like enhancement lesions, and 48 masses enhancement lesions. Among 49 non mass-like lesions, 29 were segmental enhancement (59.18%). Dynamic enhanced performance:50 exhibited plateau curves and 27 were washout curves. BI-RADS categories:22 BI-RADS 4A, 19 BI-RADS 4B, 29 BI-RADS 4C, and 27 BI-RADS 5. HNG lesions exhibited larger mean maximum lesion size (non-mass-like enhancement: P=0.01; mass: P=0.03), time- intensity curve was variable to approach signiifcance (P=0.01), and BI-RADS can help to discriminate the nuclear grade (P=0.02). There were no differences in lesion morphology (P>0.05). Conclusion:The preliminary ifndings suggest that DCE MR imaging features may aid in identifying patients with high risk DCIS.
