Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(11):-
AIM To investigate the inhibition and apoptosis mechanism of GBC-SD cells induced by rubescensine B. METHODS Using MTT, convert microscopy, electron microscopy, flow cytometry, an immunohistochemical assay, and spectrofluorometry demonstrate the presence and pathogenesis of apoptosis after treated by rubescensine B. RESULTS After exposure to Rubecensine B GBC-SD cells were induced to apoptosis in dose-dependent manner, and the level of Bcl-2,p53,C-myc,Fas/APO-1 were decreased within 24 hours, reversely the activity of Caspase-3 was enhanced with the appearance of apoptosis. CONCLUSION Rubecensine B can induce GBC-SD cells apoptosis related to Bcl-2,p53,Fas/APO-1 and C-myc.

BACKGROUND: Monosialotetrahexosylganglioside plays an important role in a variety of physiological processes, such as the nerve cel growth and development, differentiation, regeneration and intracel ular and extracel ular information transmission. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of monosialotetrahexosylganglioside on the changes of gene expression and calcium ion concentration in the course of inducing the mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-like cells with Woodbury’s method. METHODS: The mesenchymal stem cells from Sprague Dawley rats were cultured after isolated and purified, After 5 passages in culture, the cel integrated into a dense monolayer, and treated with 50 mmol/L monosialotetrahexosylganglioside for 24 hours as the monosialotetrahexosylganglioside group; then the mesenchymal stem cells were induced into neuron-like cells with the methods of Woodbury after pre-cultured for 24 hours, and set the control group. The protein and mRNA expression levels of growth-associated protein 43, neuron-specific enolase, neurofilament and nestin were detected by immunocytochemistry and real-time PCR, respectively. The fluorescence intensity of intracel ular free calcium ion before and after inducing was detected by laser scan confocal microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After induction, the expression levels of growth-associated protein 43, neuron-specific enolase, neurofilament and nestin of the mesenchymal stem cells in the monosialotetrahexosylganglioside group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), demonstrating that monosialotetrahexosylganglioside could promote the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into neuron-like cells. The fluorescence intensity in mesenchymal stem cells was increased gradual y in two groups after the medium was replaced by the induction medium, attained its peak value at 100 seconds and then decreased gradual y, but the fluorescence intensity was stil higher than that before the induction at 20 minutes. The fluorescence intensity of intracel ular free Ca2+ was increased significantly in the monosialotetrahexosylganglioside group when compared with the control group (P < 0.05), suggesting that monosialotetrahexosylganglioside could increase the concentration of intracel ular free Ca2+, and intracel ular free Ca2+ may be useful in the course of induction. The changes of protein expression levels of growth-associated protein 43, neuron-specific enolase, neurofilament and nestin were not significant after induction, indicating that Woodbury classic induced programme could regulate the post-transcriptive protein level.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of adverse drug reactions(ADRs)induced by tislelizumab and to provide reference for clinic drug safety.Methods The ADR of tislelizumab in Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical Univeristy from July 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The case reports of ADR induced by tislelizumab from January 2019 to December 2022 in PubMed,ScienceDirect,Embase,Wanfang,VIP databases were searched.Age,sex,original diseases,adverse reaction time,clinical manifestation,treatment measures and clinical outcome were analyzed.Results A total of 30 patients including 8 cases in hospital and 22 cases in literature were collected.Among these patients,male accounted for 83.33%(25/30),and the highest proportion was from patients over 60 years old(21 patients,70.00%).Most ADRs occurred in 1-2 dose cycles of medication,mainly including skin toxicity in 8 patients,digestive disease in 6 patients and kidney injury in 4 patients.After the symptomatic treatment,29 patients improved and 1 patient died.Conclusion During the medication with tislelizumab,ADRs of skin,gastrointestinal tract and renal should be vigilant,and the changes of relevant indicators should be closely monitored.

Objective:To explore the distribution of pathogenic bacteria during perioperative period of kidney transplantation(KT)patients and examine drug resistance of major clinical pathogens to commonly used antibiotics to provide references for empirical medication of pathogenic bacteria infection after KT.Methods:From January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, 251 patients undergoing deceased donation KT on kidney transplant ward were selected.Clinical samples were collected and distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria examined for analyzing the incidence of possible donor-derived infections and predicting prognoses.Results:The detection rate of pathogens was 12.18%(367/3 014). A total of 225 non-repetitive strains were isolated.Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi accounted for 48.89%(110/225), 43.11%(97/225)and 8.00%(18/225). The proportion of lavage fluid in all isolated bacteria was 49.78%(112/225). And Staphylococcus epidermidis and Klebsiella pneumoniae predominated.Drainage fluid accounted for 24.88%(56/225)and Pseudomonas putida and Staphylococcus haemolyticus predominated.Urine accounted for 18.67%(42/225)with a dominance of Enterococcus faecium; blood accounted for 6.22%(14/225)with a dominance of S. epidermidis.All detected pathogens showed varying degrees of resistance.The resistance rates of E. faecium to ampicillin, vancomycin and linezolid were 93.33%(28/30), 6.45%(2/31)and 38.71%(12/31). The resistance rates of K. pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii to carbapenems were 71.43%(20/28)and 80.00%(12/15). The incidence of possible donor-derived infection was 3.59%(9/251)and there was no mortality.Conclusions:The detection rate of pathogenic bacteria is high in KT patients during perioperative period.There is a diverse distribution of isolates of different specimen types and all detected pathogens show varying degrees of drug resistance.Clinicians should regularly analyze the distribution characteristics and causes of drug-resistant bacteria.And antibiotics should be optimized according to the results of drug sensitivity.

Objective:To explore health utility value, evaluate health-related quality-of-life(QOL)of pediatric liver transplantation(LT)recipients and examine its influencing factors to provide rationales for related health economic evaluations.Methods:This cross-sectional QOL was conducted through a questionnaire in pediatric LT recipients aged 5-17 years.The interviewees undergoing initial LT from June 2013 to September 2021 were reviewed regularly.Those children and their parents unwilling to participate or failing to understand the contents of questionnaire were excluded.The questionnaire was designed on the basis of Child Health Utility 9D Instrument(CHU9D)and answered online by one of primary caregiver.Chinese score system of CHU9D was employed for converting the responses into health utility values and the influencing factors were analyzed.Univariate analysis was performed by nonparametric tests and multivariate analysis by multiple linear regression model. P<0.05 was deemed as statistically significant. Results:A total of 140 valid questionnaires were obtained.Mean age of pediatric LT recipients was(7.95±2.74)years and mean postoperative time(4.90±2.17)years.Among them, 19 cases had experienced acute rejection and 101(72.1%)cases were living-related LT recipients.CHU9D scale indicated that average health utility value was(0.85±0.14)points.Univariate analysis revealed that age( P=0.008), education level( P<0.001)and primary disease( P=0.010)influenced the postoperative level of QOL.Multivariate analysis indicated that QOL was correlated with education level(behind schedule: 95% CI: -0.146, -0.034, P=0.002; leave of absence: 95% CI: -0.251, -0.068, P=0.001). Conclusions:Health utility of pediatric LT recipients is high with an excellent QOL.Poor QOL is associated with absence from school or dropping out of school.
