Objective To compare the effectiveness of enteral nutritional emulsion (TPF-D) and enteral nutritional emulsion (TP) in patients with chronic wound and diabetes (CWD). Methods Totally 20 CWD patients in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from June 2008 to June 2010 were enrolled in this study. Enteral nutritional emulsion (TP) was used for the first 5 days ( TP group) and enteral nutritional emulsion (TPF-D) was used for the second 5 days (TPF-D group). Changes of mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), insulin dosage, and prealbumin (PA) were compared between TPF-D group and TP group. The adverse effects and post-operational complications were also observed. Results The every-day MAGE was (2. 56 ±0. 35) mmol/L in TPF-D group, which was significantly lower than that in TP group [ (3.23 ± 0. 42) mmol/L] ( P = 0. 01 ). The mean insulin dosage was (9.6 ± 1.7) U in TPF-D group, which was significantly lower than that in TP group [ ( 12. 2 ± 2. 5 ) U ] ( P =0.03 ). The increase of PA showed no significant difference between TPF-D group [ ( 12.7 ± 3. 3) mg/L] and TP group [ ( 13.4 ± 2. 8 ) mg/L ] ( P = 0. 08 ). No enteral nutrition-related adverse effect or post-operation complication was noted. Conclusion Compared with TP, TPF-D is more suitable for the CWD patients.

This study was aimed at the transport across blood-brain barrier (BBB) of polysorbate-80 modified neurotoxin loaded polybutylcyanoacrylate nanoparticle (P-80-NT-NP) and its cytotoxicity. An in vitro model of BBB using rat brain microvascular endothelial cells (rBMECs) was established. The cytotoxicity of P-80-NT-NP was measured by the MTT assays, where neurotoxin (NT), nanoparticle (NP), neurotoxin nanoparticle (NT-NP) as control, and the permeability of P-80-NT-NP was determined by using of Millicell insert coculture with rBMECs and fluorescence spectrophotometry. MTT results showed that NT, NP, NT-NP and P-80-NT-NP were avirulent to rBMECs when the concentration of NT was lower than 200 ng x mL(-1). But the cytotoxicity of NP, NT-NP and P-80-NT-NP would be augmented accordingly as concentration increased (P < 0.01), causing obvious reductions of cell survival rate, with no significant difference between them (P > 0.05). When the concentration of NT was 150 ng x mL(-1), the permeability on rBMECs of P-80-NT-NP and NT-NP were both significantly higher than that of NT (P < 0.01), and the permeability of P-80-NT-NP was greater than that of NT-NP (P < 0.05). In conclusion, polysorbate-80 modified neurotoxin nanoparticles can transport across the BBB, while concentration of NT is greater than 200 ng x mL(-1), P-80-NT-NP has a little cytotoxicity against rBMECs.

The mesaconitine and its major metabolites in the rat urine were identified by liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The rat urine was collected for consecutive 24 hours from the rat following intragastric infusion of mesaconitine, subsequently which were enriched and purified using solid phase extraction. The metabolites of mesaconitine in the rat urine were analyzed by the liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. It is shown that the parent drug mesaconitine and its metabolites were found in the rat urine, such as hypo-mesaconitine glucuronic acid conjugate, 10-hydroxy-mesaconitine, 1-O-demethyl mesaconitine, deoxy-mesaconitine and hypo-mesaconitine. Among the five of metabolites, the hypo-mesaconitine glucuronic acid conjugate (m/z 766) was first discovered as the aconitine in rats phase II metabolites, which revealed a new way of mesaconitine metabolism in rats.

ObjectiveTo investigate the finasteride application during the off-cycle of intermittent androgen blockade (IAB) in patients with advanced prostate cancer treated with IAB.MethodsEighty-seven patients with advanced prostate cancer were divided into two groups: forty-nine patients received IAB (group A), and thirty-eight patients underwent IAB and finasteride during the off-cycle of IAB (group B). The time of treatment cycle and the time to disease progression were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe patients in group A completed 89 treatment cycles and the mean cycle length was (12.8±5.4) months [treatment time and non-treatment time were (6.6±3.5) months and (7.1±4.8) months, respectively]. The patients in group B completed 85 cycles and the mean cycle length was (15.3±5.9) months [treatment time and non-treatment time were (6.9±3.2) months and (9.2v±3.9) months, respectively]. There was a significant difference between group A and B in the mean cycle length and the non-treatment time (P=0.0428,P=0.03).The 3-year progression rate was ( 34.8±3.5 )% in group A and ( 28.4±2.7)% in groups B ( P=0.035). ConclusionsThe application of finasteride during the off-cycle of IAB in patients with advanced prostate cancer treated with intermittent androgen blockade (IAB) can delay progression of advanced prostate cancer.

Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of rituximab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and the relationship of clinical prognosis with the International Prognostic Index (IPI) by the using rituximab in autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) for the patients of DLBCL. Methods 21 patients with DLBCL, 11 patients of them were at IPI low risk, and 3 patients were IPI at low intermediate risk, 3 patients were at IPI high intermediate risk, 4patients IPI high risk. Rituximab combined with CHOP regimen (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincfistine and prednisone) was given for 4~8 courses. 5 patients received APBSCT. The mobilizing regimen was rituximab combined with cyclophosphamide(CTX) and etoposide(VP16). The conditioning regimen were CBV(CTX combined with VP16 and carmustine). Results In 21 patients, the complete response rate was 61.9 %,with overall response rate 90.5 %. 2-year progression free survival was (69.74±10.43)%. 2-year overall survival was (84.44:1:8.35) %. The complete response rate was 92.9 % and overall response rate was 100 % in the patients IPI≤2. The overall response rate was 71.4 % in the patients with IPI≥3. The complete response rate was higher in the patients with IPI≤ 2 (P<0.01). The amount of mononuclear cells (M NC) in harvest were 7.34 (4.6~8.53)×108/kg. The CD+34 cells in harvest were 8.82 (2.1~10.34)×1O6/kg. The mean time of neutrephil recovering to 0.5×109/L after APBSCT was +9 day. The mean time of platelet recovering to 20×109/L after APBSCT was +12 day. The major adverse reaction were infusion related response (14.3 %) and hematological toxieities. Conclusion The efficacy of rituximab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of DLBCL is effective, The complete response rate was higher in the patients with IPI≤2 than in the patients with IPI≥3.Using rituximab in mobilizing regimen, all patients had harvested enough CD+34 cells. Rituximab given at +1day did not affect the hematopoiesis reconstruction.
