Objective To investigate the effects of danhong injection on the apoptosis of SMMC-7721 heptoma cells.Methods The hepatocellular carcinoma cell line SMMC-7721 was incubated with different concentrations(0,2,4,8 μL·mL-1) of danhong injection, and cell morphology was studied under the microscope. The apoptosis index was detected by flow cytometry at 0,6,12,24 h after cultured with 2 μL·mL-1danhong injection. Cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay;Gene expressions of p53,Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by RT-PCR at different drug concentrations. Results The morphology of the hepatoma cells changed obviously,and the apoptosis index increased by danhong injection in a dose-dependant manner. The danhong injection decreased gene expressions of Bcl-2,and obviously increased p53 and Bax. Conclusion Danhong injection can dose-and time-dependently promote apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells.

Objective To investigate the correlation of polymorphism of 8473 (T/C,rs5275) in the 3′-untranslated region of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gene with bladder cancer. Methods A case-control study on the relation between COX-2 polymorphism and bladder cancer was performed in this study. The Taqman SNP genotyping assay was used to study the COX-2 rs5275 polymorphism. Results The differences in allele or genotype distributions of COX-2 rs5275 between cases and controls (all P < 0.05) were significant. A significantly reduced risk was revealed in bladder cancer patients carrying the TC genotype (adjusted OR =0.178;95%CI:0.119 ~0.264),CC genotype (adjusted OR = 0.087; 95%CI:0.058 ~ 0.129) or (TC/CC) genotype (adjusted OR =0.122;95%CI:0.082~0.181) compared to the control group. Significant difference in genotype distribution of the COX-2 rs5275 site was found associated with sex and smoking (adjusted OR:2.125,0.476;95%CI:1.500 ~3.010,0.325 ~ 0.696);No corelation was found between genetype TT or TC/CC and the pathological features of bladder cancer (P>0.05). Conlusion The separate effect of rs5275 polymorphism of COX-2 is associated with the susceptibility of bladder cancer, the TC/CC genotypes may be a protective factor.

Objective To study the factors affecting the synthesis of 18F-MyoZone,and to evaluate its potential as a myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) agent in normal Chinese mini-swine.Methods 18F-MyoZone was prepared by substituting the leaving group toluenesulfonyloxy (OTs) from the precursor compound with 18F-fluoride (18F-F-).The conditions affecting the labeling yield were studied by varying the amount of K2CO3 and precursor compound,18F-fluorination reaction time and temperature.PET was performed at 5,30,60 and 120 min post-injection on normal Chinese mini-swine.Results The doses of K2CO3 and precursor,the reaction time and the reaction temperature could affect the labeling yield of 18F-MyoZone,especially K2CO3.The optimized synthetic condition was 1.0 mg K2CO3,2.0 mg mpp2-OTs,20 min reaction time at 90 ℃.The total radio-synthesis time in this condition was 60 min.The uncorrected radiochemical yield was (24.0±5.1) %.The radiochemical purity was >98%.PET imaging showed that 18F-MyoZone had high initial uptake (SUV=8.17± 1.83 at 5 min post-injection) and good retention (SUV =5.78±0.99 at 120 min post-injection) in the heart.The clearance of 18F-MyoZone from liver was very fast.The heart/liver ratios were 3.32,5.31,6.09 and 5.76 at 5,30,60 and 120 min post-injection,respectively.From 5 to 120 min post-injection,the outline of heart was clear and intact.There was almost no interference from the adjacent organs.The quality of PET images was highly satisfactory.Conelusions 18 F-MyoZone has the potential to be a good myocardial perfusion agent.The amount of K2CO3 used could significantly affect the labeling yield of 18F-MyoZone.

Objective:To investigate the content and mode of pharmaceutical care for the patients with severe burn and promote the rational use of drugs. Methods:Taking the treatment for one patient with severe burn as example,pharmacists provided pharmaceu-tical care in respects of anti-infection therapy,organ preservation,nutritional support, drug interactions, drug precautions, drug incom-patibility, adverse drug reactions and the effect evaluation . Results:The program of rational drug use was provided for clinics through the implementation of pharmaceutical care. The vital signs of the patient were stable, and then the patient left on pass and continued to be treated with rehabilitation therapy. Conclusion:It is necessary for clinical pharmacists to perform pharmaceutical care for the pa-tients with severe burn,reduce the abuse of drugs and improve the medication safety and effectiveness. Meanwhile, the collaborative service of doctors,pharmacists,nurses and inspectors to patients reflects the value of clinical pharmacists.

Objective To assess the imaging characteristics of 18F-Alfalide II in different tumorbearing mice and pharmacokinetics in Beagle dogs.Methods BALB/c nude mice(n-24)were used for subcutaneous tumor models(A549 and U87MG),orthotopic lung cancer models(A549)and orthotopic breast cancer models(MDA-MB-231)(n=6 in each group).18F-Alfatide II and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)microPET/CT images were compared in the 4 types of tumor-bearing nude mice models.18F-Alfatide II blocking experiment,biodistribution experiment and imaging studies in tumors of different growth cycles were performed in A549 subcutaneous tumor-bearing nude mice models.Pharmacokinetic experiments were carried out in Beagle dogs(n = 6)and CD-1 mice(n = 9).Two-sample t test was used to analyze the data.Results Compared with 18F-FDG,18F-Alfatide II microPET/CT images showed better imaging quality and contrast in subcutaneous A549,U87MG tumors and orthotopic A549(tumor/heart:4.50±1.17 vs 0.95±0.31;t = 4.125,P<0.01),orthotopic MDA-MB-231(tumor/muscle:6.60±1.53 vs 0.92±0.43;t = 3.984,P<0.01)transplantation nude mice models.18F-Alfatide II could specifically target A549 tumors,and the tumor uptake of 18F-Alfatide II was reduced by about 75% after pre-injection with cyclo(Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Tyr-Lys)(c(RGDyk)).18F-Alfatide II was rapidly cleared from the blood of Beagle dogs(T1/2 was(57.34±11.69)min).It was cleared in the form of prototype drug and(69.24±6.82)% of cumulative dose was excreted through the urine within 4 h after administration.Conclusions 18F-Alfatide II shows a higher target/non-target ratio than,18F-FDG in the imaging of A549,MDA-MB-231 and U87MG tumor-bearing nude mice models,which is more conducive to the diagnosis of tumor.18F-Alfatide II has excellent pharmacokinetic properties.
