OATP1B3, a member of SLC superfamily, is specifically expressed on the sinusoidal membrane of hepatocytes and is considered to be important in hepatic drug elimination. The overexpression of OATP1B3 was found recently in tumor tissues such as prostate, colon, and pancreatic tumors. Sequence variations in SLCO1B3 gene, such as SNPs, have been described and a common haplotype consisting of 334T>G and 699G>A SNPs is related to altered transport characteristics of OATP1B3. OATP1B3 is of relevance to drug metabolism through affecting alteration of hepatic concentration of endo- and xenobiotic compounds that interact with nuclear receptors such as PXR and CAR, and thereby directly alter the extent of target gene transcription, including major CYP isoenzymes such as CYP3A4. This review will provide an overview of substrates and inhibitors of OATP1B3 and subsequently to assess the effect of genetic mutation on transport activity. The studies linking OATP1B3 with cancer clinical outcomes are also discussed in this review.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of nimesulide in the treatment of chronic periodontitis patients,and analyze the effect of IL-8 and TNF-αlevels in the gingival sulcus fluid.Methods 88 patients with chronic periodontitis in our hospital between June 2014 to December 2015 were divided into control group and observation group by the random number method, 44 cases in each group, the control group patients were given metronidazole treatment, observation group patients were given nimesulide treatment,two groups therapeutic effect and the incidence of adverse reactions were observed, compared two groups of patients before and after treatment in gingival sulcus fluid IL-8 and TNF-αlevel, compared sulcus bleeding index (SBI), plaque index (PLI) and clinical attachment level (CAL),before and after treatment two weeks and four weeks of probing depth (PD) of two groups.Results The total effective rate of observation group patients was 95.55%, significantly higher than the control group patients’total efficiency (81.82%) (χ2 =4.06, P=0.04), after treatment in the observation group gingival sulcus fluid IL-8 factor and TNF-αlevels were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05), After 2 weeks and 4 weeks of treatment, PD, SBI and CAL indicators observation group were significantly lower than the control group ( P <0.05 ) , the incidence of adverse reactions of observation group patients was 4.55%, significantly lower than the incidence of adverse reactions in control group patients(22.73%)(χ2 =6.18, P=0.01).Conclusion Nimesulide in the treatment of chronic periodontitis with a highly efficient clinical efficacy, while reducing gastrointestinal side effects, etc., can effectively reduce the gingival sulcus fluid IL-8 and TNF-αlevels, ease clinical symptoms, is a highly effective treatment.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effectiveness and safety of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) in the treatment of chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD).Methods Seventy-eight patients with CAD were administrated with MMF substituting for Aza or CTX with concomitant low-dose CsA. The effectiveness and complications were analyzed. The mean follow-up time after MMF treatment was 9.48 months.Results After treatment with MMF in combination with low doses of CsA and Pred,the serum creatinine concentration (SCr) in 74 CAD patients was significantly decreased and remained stable at the end of follow-up ( P

Objective In this study, we explored the mechanism of anti-bone resorption of RGD-insulin using osteoclast-like cells (OLCs) from giant cell tumor of bone as an in vitro model. Methods The function of bone resorption was observed and the staining for tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAPase) was identified. The carbonic anhydrase Ⅱ (CAⅡ) gene expression, apoptosis and the adhesion of OLC that treated by RGD-insulin and echistatin were determined by in situ hybridization, TUNEL staining and adhesion test, respectively. Results OLCs were TRAP positive and had bone resorptive function. After OLCs were treated with 10 -5, 10 -6, 10 -7mol/L RGD-insulin and echistatin respectively, the numbers of TRAP-positive multinucleated cells were (179?3), (238?11), (351?10) per well that treated with echistatin and (229?20), (222?21), (265?17) per well that treat with RGD-insulin.The expression of CAⅡ mRNA decreased, the number of OLCs apoptosis increased in a dose-dependent manner (P

Objective: To investigate the relationship between social anxiety of primary school students in countryside and their parents'rearing patterns. Methods: 176 primary school students of Jiangxi province were investigated with EMBU and social anxiety scale for children. Results: ( 1 ) along with the increase of grade, students'score on EMBU and social anxiety decreased ( F = 4. 34 - 25. 64, P

To observe the complicated cataract after glaucoma surgery, analyze the causes and summarize the treatments, in order to provide the basis for clinical treatment.
● METHODS: Forty - five patients ( 50 eyes ) with complicated cataract after glaucoma surgery treated in our hospital from October 2012 to September 2013 were selected. All patients were treated by 3. 2mm tunnel incision phacoemulsification cataract operation. The postoperative complications, intraocular pressure, and visual acuity were observed.
●RESULTS: After treatment, visual acuity of all patients were improved, without obvious complications, the intraocular pressure was normal.
●CONCLUSlON: 3. 2mm tunnel incision phacoemulsification cataract operation can effectively improve the intraocular pressure and promote the recovery of visual acuity.

BACKGROUND: Because the continuity and integrity of the trachea are likely damaged to some extent after tracheostomy, the implementation of sequential ventilation has certain difficulties, and sequential invasive-noninvasive ventilation on patients after tracheostomy is less common in practice. The present study aimed to investigate the feasibility of invasive-noninvasive sequential weaning strategy in patients after tracheostomy. METHODS: Fifty patients including 24 patients with withdrawal of mechanical ventilation (conventional group) and 26 patients with sequential invasive-noninvasive weaning by directly plugging of tracheostomy (sequential group) were analyzed retrospectively after appearance of pulmonary infection control (PIC) window. The analysis of arterial blood gases, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) incidence, the total duration of mechanical ventilation, the success rate of weaning and total cost of hospitalization were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Arterial blood gas analysis showed that the sequential weaning group was better than the conventional weaning group 1 and 24 hours after invasive ventilation. The VAP incidence was lowered, the duration of mechanical ventilation shortened, the success rate of weaning increased, and the total cost of hospitalization decreased. CONCLUSION: Sequential invasive-noninvasive ventilator weaning is feasible in patients after tracheostomy.
