Primary hypophysitis includes 3 subtypes:lymphocytic,granulomatous and xanthomatous hypophysitis. The primary hypophysitis has a low morbidity and the final diagnosis is mostly determined based on the pathological findings after operation.Now it is considered as an organ specific autoimmune disease.Its clinical manifestations and imaging features are similar to hypophyseal tumor,but the endocrine and pathologic features are different.Glucocortieoid pulse therapy and surgery are the two methods of treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To study the oral absorption of paclitaxel-loaded mixed micelles made of D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate(TPGS) and sodium cholate(NaC) in rats. METHODS: Paclitaxel-loaded mixed micelles were prepared by film dispersion method. The Zeta potential and diameter distribution of TPGS/NaC mixed micelles were measured using laser size scattering determinator. The morphology of micelles was observed by transmission electron microscope. Dialysis method was used to evaluate the release behavior of drug-loaded micelles in vitro. The absorption kinetics was obtained by in situ perfusion method in rats. RESULTS: Most of the mixed micelles were spherical with an average diameter of 24.2 nm and the Zeta potential was -7.84 mV. Compared to the bulk drug, the apparent absorption rate constant (Ka)of paclitaxel-loaded mixed micelles was increased significantly. CONCLUSION: TPGS/NaC mixed micelles can improve the oral absorption of paclitaxel and increase its oral bioavailability.

The brain -derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)plays an important role in the development and function of the nervous system.BDNF controls the neuronal survival,differentiation,growth of dendrites and axons,for-mation of synapse,neuronal plasticity and the basic process of learning and memory through a variety of ways,the dys-regulation of which is probably the important molecular mechanism responsible for the onset of autism spectrum disor-der.The research advance on preclinical research and clinical research between BDNF and autism spectrum disorder is reviewed in this paper.

Objective To study the neurodevelopmental outcome prospectively at 18 months of the late preterm infants.Methods Data from 7 584 live born neonates were collected between January and December.2009 in 3 hospitals located in the north of Chengdu City,Sichuan Province were collected,89 late preterm infants were brought into study ; 170 healthy full-term infants were chosen as the controls randomly.Neurodevelopment outcome was assessed by using neonatal behavioral neurological assessment(NBNA) at 40 weeks corrected gestational age,and Bayley scales of infant development was performed to obtain the physical development index (PDI) and mental development index (MDI) at 3,6,9,12 and 18 months corrected age.Neurodevelopmental outcome of late preterm infants was studied compared with that of the term infants.Results Sixty-three neonates born at the late preterm phase and 115 neonates born at the term phase were successfully followed up.The NBNA scores of the late preterm infants at 40 weeks corrected gestationa] age were significantly lower than those of the term infants.The proportion of the late preterm infants whose scores ≥37 was significantly lower than that of the term infants(82.5％ vs 94.8％),the proportion of late preterm infants whose scores ＜35 was significantly higher than that of the term infants(4.8％ vs 0),the proportion of the late preterm infants whose scores in 35-36 was significantly higher than that of the term infants (12.7％ vs 5.2％,Z =-2.707,P ＜ 0.05) ;At 3,6,9 and 12 months corrected age,the late preterm infants showed a significant lower PDI scores(t =-4.266,-4.594,-5.663,-2.584) and MDI scores (t =-7.121,-7.829,-7.038,-6.002) than those of the term infants(all P ＜0.05).Compared with the term infants,the late preterm infants still had lower MDI scores than the term infants at 18 months corrected age(t =-4.115,P ＜0.05),but no difference was observed in PDI scores between late preterm and the term infants (t =-0.957,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Neurodevelopment outcome of the late preterm infants is delayed in the first year compared with term infants.At 18 months corrected age the mental development is still delayed compared with the term infants.Measures should be taken properly to improve the neurodevelopment of the late preterm infants in the early childhood.

Objective Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) participates in pathologic processes of many ischemic damages.It also plays an important role in ischemic brain damage.There are a lot of activation mechanisms of TERT after cerebral ischemia.At present,the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 has been more clearly studied.The protective effect of TERT in ischemic brain damage may be associated with anti-apoptosis,promoting cell survival,promoting angiogenesis,and protecting mitochondria.
