OBJECTIVE:To provide a reference for clinical use of anti-tumor adjuvant drugs as is reasonable,effective and economical. METHODS:By retrospective investigation and analysis,the utilization of anti-tumor adjuvant drugs in the oncology department of our hospital during 2010 and 2013 was analyzed statistically in respect of the type,dosage form,consumption amount,DDDs,DDC,DUI etc. RESULTS:The anti-tumor adjuvant drugs in our hospital were dominated by injections,especial-ly domestic drugs,the consumption amount of which accounted for 80% of the total consumption amount of anti-tumor adjuvant drugs each year. The anti-tumor adjuvant drugs were mainly used for symptomatic treatment of various adverse reactions. Drug syn-chronization was relatively good each year,however,excessive use of individual drugs existed. CONCLUSIONS:Anti-tumor adju-vant drugs have relatively better synchronism in the drugs quantities and medication number. However,individual drugs have exces-sive use and other irrational use.

Objective To investigate changes in the expression of prepro-orexin and orexin receptor-1 ( OX1R) following permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion ( MCAO ) with or without preconditioning through electrical stimulation of the cerebellar fastigial nucleus (FNS). Methods Wistar rats were subjected to permanent MCAO and randomly divided into 5 groups: a sham-operated control group (PO), an FNS preconditioning + shamoperated control group (FNS-PO) , an ischemia group, an FNS preconditioning + ischemia group (FNS-PI) and a cerebellar fastigial nucleus injury + FNS preconditioning + ischemia group (FNL-FNS-PI). Each group was divided into 5 subgroups according to the time at which the animals were sacrificed after the MCAO ( 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h).RT-PCR was used to detect expression of OX1R mRNA, and ELISA to measure the levels of orexin-A in the hypothalamus and plasma. Results The immunoreactivity of prepro-orexin decreased significantly in the PI groups, with further decreases over time. At the 12th h after MCAO, the immunoreactivity of prepro-orexin reached a minimum.There were significant differences between the rats in the PO and FNS-PO groups. On the contrary, the immunoreactivity of OX1R increased significantly in the PI groups, with further increases continuing over time, peaking at 12 h after the MCAO. There were significant differences between the PO and FNS-PO groups. In the rats with FNS preconditioning (PI-FNS) , the decrease in prepro-orexin and the increase in OX1R were significantly inhibited compared to the PI subgroups at the 6th and 12th hour. There was no significant difference between the FNL-PIFNS group and the PI group. The expression of OX1R mRNA increased significantly in the PI group, with further increases continuing over time, peaking at 24 hours. The plasma levels of orexin-A were not significantly different among the groups, but the levels of orexin-A in the hypothalamus decreased significantly in the PI and FNL-PI-FNS groups, with further decreases continuing over time. At the 12th h after the MCAO the levels were significantly different compared with the PO and PO-FNS groups. While in the rats with FNS preconditioning (PI-FNS) , the decrease in orexin-A level was reversed and there was no significant difference compared with PO and PO-FNS groups. Conclusions The orexinergic system is altered following cerebral ischaemia. FNS preconditioning may be able to regulate these changes.

BACKGROUND:Few reports are found about the effect of ovariectomized rats' bone histomorphometry parameters using non-destructive dynamic loading system.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of different loads situations on the bone histomorphometry parameters in ovariectomized rats.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A controlled observation on the bone histomorphometry was performed in the Biomedical Engineering Laboratory of Jilin University from April 2007 to August 2007.MATERIALS:A total of 35 9-month-old Sprague-Dawley female rats were randomly divided into five groups,including sham operation group,ovariectomized (OVX) control group,OVX loading 1 N group,OVX loading 2 N group,OVX loading 4 N group.There were 7 rats in each group.METHODS:Rats in OVX control group and castration load group were processed into bilateral OVX on the back. The sham operation group only underwent the excision of fat tissues on back,and then sutured. After castration for 1 week,rats were loaded with non-destructive dynamic loading system in the two sides of the tibia,15 minutes a day. The mechanical loads would continue for 4 weeks and the loads were 1N,2N and 4N.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Changes of proximal tibia bone histomorphometry parameters.RESULTS:The area,number and thickness of trabecular bone in OVX loading group were all higher than OVX control group (P<0.05,P<0.01).The trabecular bone area and thickness in OVX 4 N and OVX 2 N groups were significantly higher than OVX control group (P < 0.001).There was a downward trend of trabecular separation in OVX 4 N group compared with OVX control group (P < 0.05). With the increasing loads,there was an increasing trend of the area,number and thickness of trabecular bone,which were close to sham-operated group. The trabecular separation was declined. Single fluorescent labeled surface and double fluorescent labeled surfaces in sham operated group were all lower than that in OVX control group. With the increase in loads,the single fluorescent labeled surface,double fluorescent labeled surface,interlabeled width and mineral apposition rate had been shown to increase. The OVX 2 N and OVX 4 N groups exhibited a remarkably higher level of mineral apposition rate than OVX control group (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION:With the increase in load at the range of 1-4 N,all parameters of bone histomorphometry improve in the OVX rats,the bone microstrcture is greatly ameliorated,bone mass loss is reduced and the process of osteoporosis is delayed.

Objective To compare the cognitive difference of subjects'responses to the same visual stimuli under two different priming conditions,and to discuss the influence of inversion effect and configural changes upon facial recognition.Methods Priming pattern was employed,and subjects were induced to recognize the same stimuli as schematic faces or three English letters under different priming conditions.The participants'accuracy and reaction times were compared in two priming conditions. Results Participants'accuracy of the comparison stimuli in facial priming condition decreased significantly by inversion effect((79.03±10.53)%vs(89.43±9.98)%,P<0.01);reaction times of priming stimuli and comparison stimuli were delayed by inversion effect significantly((3720.40±607.71)ms vs(2998.33±544.02)ms,(3521.80±1038.20)ms vs(2750.87±867.13)ms,P<0.01),and there was no influence of inversion effect upon the reaction times of English letter stimuli(P>0.05).Correlations of accuracy to reaction times reached no significant difference under two conditions.Conclusion Priming effect make sense in the cognition,and there was a priming stage before the facial configuration.Inversion effect shows up in the face priming condition,and vanish in the English letter priming condition,which demonstrate the importance of configuration and inversion effect in the facial cognition.What's more,such effect can't be explained by the changes of cognitive difficulty.

Objective:To summarize the features of stenosis or premature closure of fetal ductus arteriosus and to investigate the perinatal management strategies.Methods:Three cases diagnosed with stenosis or premature closure of fetal ductus arteriosus in Peking University First Hospital between January 2022 and June 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical features and perinatal management strategies were summarized.Results:Fetal cardiac abnormalities (right heart enlargement and tricuspid regurgitation) were detected in the three cases by routine prenatal ultrasound at the gestational weeks of 24, 30 and 23, respectively. Fetal echocardiography confirmed the diagnosis of stenosis or premature closure of fetal ductus arteriosus and no other structural anomalies were detected. All three pregnant women denied taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Case 1 and case 2 underwent emergency cesarean section due to suspected fetal cardiac dysfunction with a cardiovascular profile score of 6 and 5. The two neonates were transferred to the neonatal intensive care unit and discharged with good prognosis (normal cardiac function) on the 56th and 42nd day after birth. During a close monitoring, the stenosis of fetal ductus arteriosus improved in case 3 and a full-term neonate was delivered at 38 weeks by elective cesarean section because of a history of cesarean section.Conclusions:In the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, attention should be drawn to the fetal ductus arteriosus during ultrasound imaging, especially when right heart enlargement and tricuspid regurgitation were detected. For fetuses with suspected ductus arteriosus stenosis, a close monitor of the ductus arteriosus and the ultrasound findings indicating cardiac dysfunction is needed and the cardiovascular profile score should also be involved. Fetuses with premature closure of the ductus arteriosus should be delivered promptly and the postnatal cardiac outcomes are good.
