Objective To prepare nephritis dripping pills and study its pharmacodynamic effects. Methods The nephritis dripping pills were self-made, and the preparation was optimized by using orthogonal method. The model of chronic renal failure was established through resection of 5/6 kidney, the effect of nephritis dripping pills on rats was investigated by urinary protein and renal pathology analysis. Results The optimal preparation for nephritis dripping pills was as follows:taking PEG4000:PEG6000 =2:1, drug:matrix =1:3, setting temperature at 80 ℃ and dropping distance as 7 cm. The pharmacodynamic results showed that:compared with the model control groups, the nephritis dropping pills and renal failure pills significantly reduced the 24 h urine protein levels (P<0. 01),and the nephritis dripping pills were significant superior to renal failure pills (P<0. 05). The histopathological results showed that the renal tubular of treated groups remitted to normal, renal interstitial presented a small amount of inflammation cell infiltration and renal interstitial fibrosis was suppressed. Conclusion The preparation of nephritis dripping pills is relatively stable,and have good therapeutic effects on chronic renal failure,but the optimal dose should be further verified.

Objective To evaluate and compare the clinical outcomes of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with different radiation doses for esophageal carcinoma. Methods 78 cases of esophageal carcinoma receiving primary definitive treatment in our department between May 1 , 2005 to June 31 2007 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients with esophageal carcinoma were divided into high- ( > 50 Gy, median dose of 64 Gy) and low-dose (50 Gy) groups according to their prescription doses (n = 35, 43, respectively). Chemotherapy regimen consisted of cisplatin (75 mg/m2, d1) and 5-FU (500 ~ 600 mg/m2, D2 ~ 5) starting at days 1, 28, 49 and 70 after the beginning of radiotherapy with 2 ~ 4 cycles. The two groups were compared in terms of the early treatment outcomes, the side effects and survival rates. Results The 1,3 and 5-year survival rates for the high and low dose groups were 71.4%, 34.3%, 25.7%and 76.7%, 41.9%, 30.2%, respectively. The median survival time was 19 and 22 months respectively without statistical difference. The high dose group was more likely to have higher incidence rate of grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ myelosuppression in spite of the statistical difference. The high dose group had significantly higher incidence of esophagitis than did the low dose group (P=0.040). Conclusion For esophageal carcinoma with only indications of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, te low dose radiation (50 Gy) has comparable outcomes and less side effects compared with the high dose radiation (>50 Gy).

BACKGROUND: Navigation systems all can improve the accuracy rate in cervical pedicle screw insertion, but cannot achieve desired outcomes because of some shortcomings, such as poor imaging quality, complicated operation, poor real-time performance, and invasive navigation.OBJECTIVE: To study the accuracy of X-ray fluoroscopy and CT three-dimensional image navigation in cervical pedicle screw insertion.METHODS: Totally 90 patients undergoing cervical pedicle screw insertion from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanyang Medical College were enrolled, and randomly divided into control and experimental groups (n=45 per group). 132 cervical pedicle screws were inserted into the patients in the control group manually under X-ray fluoroscopy, and 128 ones were inserted into the patients in the experimental group assisted with CT three-dimensional image navigation. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in the two groups were recorded. Postoperative CT three-dimensional reconstruction was performed to compare the placement accuracy between two groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The excellent and good rate of placement in the experimental group (95.3%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (88.6%, P < 0.05). (2) The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the navigation matching time and radiant quantity in the experimental group were significantly less than those in the control group (P < 0.05). (3) The Japanese Orthopedic Association scores showed no significant difference between two groups before surgery (P > 0.05),and were significantly improved in the experimental group compared with the control group at 3 and 6 months postoperatively (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (7% versus 16%, P < 0.05). (5) These results suggest that compared with X-ray fluoroscopy, CT three-dimensional image navigation can improve the accuracy of cervical pedicle screw insertion, showing higher safety and precision. However, it needs complicated operation skills, and long operation time results in massive intraoperative blood loss; thereafter, choosing which placement method depends on the patient condition.

Objective To evaluate the role of protein kinase Cα( PKCα)?nuclear factor E2?related factor 2 ( Nrf2)?heme oxygenase?1 ( HO?1) signaling pathway on endotoxic shock?induced acute lung injury ( ALI) in rabbits. Methods Thirty healthy male New Zealand white rabbits, aged 2 months, weighing 2?0-2?5 kg, were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table: normal control group ( group C);ALI group ( group ALI);PKCα inhibitor chelerythrine group ( group CHE) . In group CHE, chelerythrine 8 mg∕kg ( in 0?5 ml of DMSO) was injected intraperitoneally, and 30 min later, LPS 5 mg∕kg ( in 2 ml of normal saline) was injected via the auricular vein to induce ALI in ALI and CHE groups. The rabbits were then sacrificed at 6 h after injection of LPS or normal saline, and the lungs were removed for examination of the pathological changes which were scored and for determination of wet∕dry lung weight ratio ( W∕D ratio) , and the expression of Nrf2 and HO?1 protein and mRNA. Results Compared with group C, the pathological score and W∕D ratio were significantly increased, and the expression of Nrf2 and HO?1 protein and mRNA was up?regulated in ALI and CHE groups. The pathological score and W∕D ratio were significantly higher, and the expression of Nrf2 and HO?1 protein and mRNA was lower in group CHE than in group ALI. Conclusion The PKCα?Nrf2?HO?1 signaling pathway is one of the endogenous protective mechanisms underlying endotoxic shock?induced ALI in rabbits.
