Objective To evaluate the efficacy and adverse reactions of Navelbine(NVB)in the treatment of recurrent and metastatic breast cancer.Methods 34 patients with recurrent and metastatic breast cancer were treated with Navelbine in this clinical study,and 16 patients were treated by the NP(DDP+NVB)regimen,12 patients by the NA(ADM+NVB)regimen,6 patient by single-agent NVB.34 patients received above regimens for two cycles(3～4 week a cycle).Result The overall response rate(CR+PR)was 35.3%,clinical benefit rate(CR+PR+SD≥6 months)44.1%,disease contrrol rate(CP+PR+SD)58.8%,the median time to failure 3.4 months(range:0.7～11 months),the median time to progression(TTP)3 months(range:0.8～11 months),and the median duration of response(CP+PR)5 months(range:2～11 months).The main side effect of the therapies is bone marrow depression,and the grade Ⅲ～Ⅳ leucopenia is 35.3%.Conclusion Single Navelbine and Navelbine plus DDP(or ADM)are effective and well tolerated treatments in patients with recurrent and metastatic breast cancer.

Diabetic cataract is an metabolic-type cataract. Its pathogenesis mechanism is not completely clear. Researches demonstrated that glycosylation plays an increasingly important role in the formation of diabetic cataract,and increased blood glucose level promote the pathogenesis and progression of diabetic disease by accelerate the glycosylation response. Therefore, more researches on advanced glycation end products(AGEs) and its inhibitors is being concerned. The advance in the study of AGEs concept, its effect on diabetic cataract formation, the influence of AGEs inhibitor on diabetic cataract are summarized in this article.

Objective To investigate the effect of high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) on inter-leukin-2 (1L-2) and interleukin-2 receptor α (IL-2α) expressions in human T lymphocytes and its potential regulat-ing mechanism in vitro. Method Human T lymphocytes were isolated and suspended, the cells were cultured with 20 μg/mL phytohemagglutinin (PHA) in 5% CO_2 at 37 ℃, recombinant human HMGB1 (rhHMGB1, 0, 10, 100, 1000 ng/mL) was added with the PHA and cultures were centrifuged at 12 and 48 hours for cell collect-ing. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) amplification was perfomed to determine gene ex-pressions of IL-2, IL-2Rα. IL-2, sIL-2R protein levels in cell culture supematants were measured by ELIZA. Re-sults After coincubated with rhHMGB1 (10, 100, and 1000 ng/mL) for 12 hours, IL-2 levels in cell culture su-pernatants respectively were 0 . 064 ± 0. 017 μg/L, 0.076±0.033 μg/L, and 0.061 ±0.02 μg/L, which were significantly higher compared with the untreated cells (0.045±0.011 μg/L, P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Mean-while, IL-2 mRNA expression was markedly up-regulated following rhHMGB1 stimulation in various doses (F = 4.6872, P < 0.01). At 48 bourn, however, both IL-2 mRNA expression and protein production tended to de-crease along with an increased dose of dd-IMGB1 stimulationn. IL-2/sIL-2R ratio in 1000 ng/mL rhHMGB1 was markedly lower than that in 10 ng/ml rhHMGB1 (0.036±0.015 vs.0.055±0.017, P <0.05), together with down-regulation of IL-2Rα mRNA expression(P <0.01). Conclusions These data indieated that HMGBI could marked influence the IL-2/IL-2R expression in human T lymphocytes. With the increase in stimulating doses and prolongation of time, HMGBI might down-regulate T cell-mediated immune response of human lymphocytes.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for simultaneous determination of notoginsenoside R1,ginsenoside Rg1 and gin-senoside Rb1 in Shenqi xinshu capsule. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Zorbax SB-C18(150 × 4.6 mm,5 μm) with mobile phase of acetonitrile-water at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 203 nm,column temperature was 30℃,and the injection volume was 10 μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 0.199 8-3.996 0 μg for notoginsenoside R1,0.842 8-10.143 0 μg for ginsenoside Rg1 and 0.823 4-9.978 0 μg for ginsenoside Rb1;RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were low-er than 2%;recoveries were 95.17%-100.17%(RSD=1.81%,n=9),97.32%-101.18%(RSD=1.44%,n=9)and 95.22%-98.89%(RSD=1.22%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate and reproducible,and can be used for the simultaneous contents determination of notoginsenoside R1,ginsenoside Rg1 and ginsenoside Rb1 in Shenqi xinshu capsule.

Objective To investigate the therapy of DHS,PFNA and Intertan nail for the treatment in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures.Methods One hundred and one elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures were collected.Thirty-four cases of them were undertaken DHS (DHS group),33 cases for PFNA (PFNA group),and 34 cases for Intertan nail (INTERTAN group).Operative time,blood loss and complications were observed.Results The Operative time of patients in DHS,PFNA and Intertan groups were (85.1 ± 8.9) min,(63.1 ± 8.2) min,(57.9 ± 9.2) min respectively and the difference was significant (F=12.761,P＜0.001).The blood loss amount in DHS group were (350.1 ±80.2)ml,lower that those in PFNA and Intertan groups ((137.5 ± 35.4) ml and (125.2 ± 38.2) ml,F =20.462,P ＜ 0.001).Meanwhile,the postoperative drainage in DHS group was (125.3 ± 20.4) ml,significantly higher than PFNA group and INTERTAN group ((69.4 ± 9.2) ml and (74.6 ± 10.4) ml; F =15.871,P ＜0.001).Operative time,blood loss amount in INTERTAN group were less than that in PFNA group,but no significant difference (P ＞0.05).Nonunion in DHS group was significantly higher than the other two groups (8.82％ vs 0％ and 0％,x2 =6.092,P =0.047).Excellent rate in DHS group,PFNA group and Intertan group were 82.3％ (28/ 34),87.8％ (29/33),85.3％ (29/34) respectively,and there was no significant difference (x2 =0.591,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with DHS,Intertan nail and PFNA have advantage of shorter operative time,stronger anti-rotation capability and less various postoperative complication rates,thus they are more suitable for elderly osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture.
