OBJECTIVETo observe the therapeutic efficacy of Dangfei Liganning Tablet (DLT) in the treatment of antipsychotics induced mild hepatic damage.

METHODSTotally 80 mental inpatients with antipsychotics induced mild liver injury were randomly assigned to two groups, the treatment group (40 cases) and the control group (40 cases). Patients in the treatment group took DLT, two tablets each time, three times per day, while those in the control group took Liver-protecting Tablet (LT), four tablets each time, three times per day. The treatment course was 4 weeks for all. Changes of glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT) and glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (AST) were observed before treatment, week 1, 2, and 4 after treatment. The therapeutic efficacy was compared between the two groups.

RESULTSCompared with the former time point, ALT and AST gradually decreased in the two groups at week 1, 2, and 4 (P <0. 05). The cured rate was 72. 5% and the total effective rate was 97. 5% in the treatment group. They were 62. 5% and 90. 0% respectively in the control group. There was no statistical difference in the two indices between the two group (P >0.05). No obvious adverse reaction occurred in the two groups.

CONCLUSIONDLT could treat antipsychotics induced mild hepatic damage in a safe and effective way.

The contents of coumarins in the sulfur fumigated Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (Baizhi, ADR) were reduced significantly. To achieve the quality control of ADR, the qualitative identification of sulfur fumigated ADR and quantitative model of imperatorin content should be established. The near-infrared (NIR) spectrograms of non-sulfur and sulfur fumigated ADR were collected by NIR diffuse reflectance spectroscopy technology and pretreated by the method of first derivative derivation and vector normalization. The Ward's Algorithm method was used for the cluster analysis. The non-sulfur and sulfur fumigated ADR can be quickly identified in the range of 8,806. 0-3 811.0 cm(-1) based on the cluster analysis. The NIR quantitative model of imperatorin was established by the contents of imperatorin determined by HPLC in combination with partial least squares regression analysis. According to the calibration model established in this study, correlation coefficients (R2), the root-mean-square error of cross-validation (RMSECV), and the root-mean-square error of prediction (RMSEP) for imperatorin were 0.982 8, 0.006 8, 0.011 8, respectively. The quantitative model of imperatorin can be applied to determine the content of imperatorin in ADR accurately.

BACKGROUND:The rabbits were widely used as experimental animal models in the research on etiology and pathological mechanism of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head. It is stil a valuable and realistic research topic to improve and to innovate the modeling technology nowadays. OBJECTIVE:To improve the modeling technology on osteonecrosis of the femoral head in rabbits induced by glucocorticoid combined with lipopolysaccharide, with the focus on its reduced mortality and the guaranteed successful rate of modeling. METHODS:A total of 28 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into the control group (n=10) and improvement group (n=18). Models of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head were established according to different methods. In the improvement group, rabbits were injected with sodium penicilin (5.0 mg/kg) and amikacin sulfate (1.63×104 U/kg) in the left gluteus muscle. Twenty-four hours later, al rabbits were injected with prednisolone acetate (20 mg/kg) in the right gluteus muscle. Forty-eighthours later, 5.0 μg/kg of lipopolysaccharide was intravenously injectedvia the ear. From then on, two injections of prednisolone acetate (20 mg/kg) were respectively performed alternately in the left and right gluteal muscle at an interval of each 24 hours. Sodium penicilin (5.0 mg/kg) and amikacin sulfate (1.63×104 U/kg) were intraperitonealy injected for 2 consecutiveweeks. In the control group, 10 μg/kg lipopolysaccharide was injectedvia the ear vein of rabbit. From then on, prednisolone acetate (20 mg/kg) was intramuscularly injected at an interval of each 24 hours, totaly three times. Benzylpenicilin sodium 20×104 U/rabbit was intramuscularly injected once a week. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Rabbit models of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head were successfuly established in both groups. Compared with the control group, the mortality was significantly reduced after model establishment in the improvement group, and the bone lacuna and osteonecrosis of the femoral head were apparent. These findings indicated that the improved technology of model establishment of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head could be used to aleviate the damage degree on the gluteal muscles, to guarantee the successful rate of modeling, and to noticeably reduce the mortality of rabbits.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and influencing factors of kidney prognosis in primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients.Methods:The data of primary IgAN patients diagnosed with renal biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2015 to September 2019 were retrospective analyzed. According to the level of baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) when performing renal biopsy, the patients were divided into group A[eGFR≥90 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1], group B[eGFR 61-89 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1] and group C[eGFR≤60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1]. The clinical and pathological data were collected and compared among the three groups. Kaplan-Meier method was conducted for renal results, whereas the Cox proportional-hazards regression model was exploited to analyze the influencing factors of kidney prognosis in IgAN patients. Results:A total of 742 patients were included in the study, including 394 cases (53.1%) in group A, 203 cases (27.4%) in group B, and 145 cases (19.5%) in group C. There were 325 males (43.8%) and 417 females (56.2%). The median duration of renal biopsy was 6 (1, 24) months, and the median age was 36 years old (18-68 years old). As the baseline level of renal function decreased, the proportion of patients with nephrotic syndrome, hypertension, anemia and hyperuricemia and the levels of 24 h urinary protein, serum triglyceride and total cholesterol increased significantly (all P<0.05), while the proportion of gross hematuria episodes and the ratio of serum albumin to globulin significantly decreased (all P<0.05). For the aspect of pathological manifestations, the proportions of cell proliferation in capillaries (E1), segmental sclerosis or adhesion (S1), renal tubular atrophy or interstitial fibrosis (T1/2), globular sclerosis, renal arteriole wall thickening and vitreous degeneration, Lee's grade Ⅳ and Ⅴ increased with the decrease of baseline renal function (all P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cumulative renal survival rate decreased with the decline of baseline renal function (Log-rank χ2=88.510, P<0.001). As a result of multivariate Cox regression analysis, nephrotic syndrome ( HR=2.399, 95% CI 1.054-5.459, P=0.037), hypertension ( HR=1.806, 95% CI 1.071-3.048, P=0.027), low baseline eGFR (taking group A as the reference, group B: HR=2.383, 95% CI 1.053-5.392, P=0.037; group C: HR=6.878, 95% CI 3.074-15.393, P<0.001), IgG deposition ( HR=2.224, 95% CI 1.384-3.574, P=0.001) and globular sclerosis ( HR=2.075, 95% CI 1.230-3.501, P=0.006) were the independent influencing factors for renal progression in primary IgAN patients. Conclusions:The level of baseline renal function in primary IgAN patients can be used to predict the extent of clinic-pathological damage. Nephrotic syndrome, hypertension, low baseline eGFR, IgG deposition and globular sclerosis are the independent influencing factors for renal progression in primary IgAN patients.
