In post-marketing study of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), pharmacoeconomic evaluation has an important applied significance. However, the economic literatures of TCM have been unable to fully and accurately reflect the unique overall outcomes of treatment with TCM. For the special nature of TCM itself, we recommend that Markov model could be introduced into post-marketing pharmacoeconomic evaluation of TCM, and also explore the feasibility of model application. Markov model can extrapolate the study time horizon, suit with effectiveness indicators of TCM, and provide measurable comprehensive outcome. In addition, Markov model can promote the development of TCM quality of life scale and the methodology of post-marketing pharmacoeconomic evaluation.

Objective To investigate the biological characteristics of monoclonal antibodies against human liver cancer stem cells and its therapeutic effect in combination with cisplatin in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Cell culture in serum?free medium and PKH26 staining were used to determine the existence of cancer stem cells in human liver Bel7402?V3 cell line. The co?expression of antigen recognized by monoclonal antibody ( McAb ) 15D2 and epithelial specific antigen ( ESA ) and PKH26?positive cells in the Bel7402?V3 cells were detected by immunofluorescence assay. Serum?free suspension culture was used to detect the self?renewal ability of 15D2?positive Bel7402?V3 cells sorted by flow cytometry and the effect of 15D2 on the self?renewal ability of Bel7402?V3 cells. The effect of 15D2 on cisplatin resistance in the cells was examined by CCK8 method. The inhibitory effect of 15D2 combined with cisplatin on the transplanted tumor growth in mice was also observed. Results Single PKH26?positive cells were observed in the Bel7402?V3 cell spheroids cultured for 11 days. Immunofluorescence assay showed that the 15D2?recognized antigen could be conjugated with PKH26 and ESA and co?localized on Bel7402?V3 cells. The spheroid formation rate of 15D2?positive cells in serum?free medium was significantly higher than that of 15D2?negative cells [(30.4±3.4)% vs. (8.8±1.8)%,P<0.01]. The cisplatin resistance of 15D2?positive cells was obviously higher than that of 15D2?negative cells (IC50:1.014μmol/L vs. 0.365μmol/L). McAb 15D2 significantly suppressed the spheroid formation of Bel7402?V3 cells, with an inhibition rate of 37.5%. McAb 15D2 also notably inhibited the cisplatin resistance of Bel7302?V3 cells. The IC50 was 0.211μg/ml in the 15D2 group and 0. 325 μg/ml in the control group. The mouse experiment showed that the tumor growth rates of 50 mg/kg, 25 mg/kg and 12.5 mg/kg 15D2?treatment groups were 82.6%, 71.4% and 60.0%, respectively; that of the 50 mg/kg 15D2 + cisplatin group was 91. 0%, and that of the cisplatin monotherapy was 56. 7%. Conclusion McAb 15D2 is a functional monoclonal antibody targeting liver cancer stem cells, which could be a potential monoclonal antibody drug for the stem cell?targeted therapy of liver cancer.

Objective:To explore the expression of fructose bisphosphate aldolase A (ALDOA) in the bone marrow of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and the correlation with clinical features and prognosis.Methods:The bone marrow samples of 90 newly diagnosed AML (non-acute promyelocytic leukemia) patients and 18 allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation donors who were treated from January 2013 to December 2015 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University and the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University were collected. The relative expression level of ALDOA mRNA in bone marrow samples was detected by using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Clinical data of these patients were retrospectively analyzed, and the patients were divided into continuous complete remission (CR) group and refractory recurrent (RR) group according to the clinical response and follow-up results. The differences of the relative expression level of ALDOA mRNA between AML group and the normal control group, CR group and RR group were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression risk model were used for analysis of factors influencing prognosis of AML patients.Results:The relative expression level of ALDOA mRNA in AML group was higher than that in normal control group [(5.71±0.44) vs. (1.10±0.08), t = 4.74, P<0.001]. The relative expression level of ALDOA mRNA in the RR group was higher than that in the CR group [(6.69±0.67) vs. (4.30±0.36) , t = 2.79, P < 0.001]. In addition, there were statistically significant differences in the proportion of patients with ALDOA mRNA high expression and those with ALDOA mRNA low expression stratified by the number of white blood cell, the proportion of bone marrow blasts and whether complete remission could be achieved or not after 1 course of induction therapy (all P < 0.05). Overall survival in patients with ALDOA high expression was worse than that in patients with ALDOA low expression ( χ2 = 5.59, P = 0.018). Multivariate analysis showed that white blood cell count, prognosis stratification, whether complete remission could be achieved or not after 1 course of induction therapy and ALDOA expression were the independent prognostic factors for the death of AML patients (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:ALDOA may play an important role in the development and progression of AML, and the expression level of ALDOA in the bone marrow can be used as an index for the prognosis assessment of AML patients and may be a potential therapeutic target for AML.

OBJECTIVE To establish two-dimensional liquid chromatography method for the determination of imipenem blood concentration and apply it in clinical practice. METHODS The method for the determination of imipenem blood concentration was established based on automatic two-dimensional liquid chromatography. The targets were extracted by 1-dimensional column Aston SNCB (50 mm ×4.6 mm, 5 μm) and further separated and determined by 2-dimensional column Aston SCB (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm). The 1-dimensional mobile phase was imipenem-1D mobile phase [acetonitrile-methanol-water (15∶10∶75, V/V/V)] with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min; 2-dimensional mobile phase was 72%OPI-1 organic mobile phase (chromatographic grade methanol)-20% BPI-1 alkaline mobile phase [water (containing 20.0 mmol/L ammonium phosphate, pH adjusted to 7.2 with triethylamine)]-8%API-1 acidic mobile phase [water (containing 20.0 mmol/L ammonium phosphate, pH adjusted to 3.0 with phosphoric acid)] with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min; the column temperature was 40 ℃, UV detection wavelength was 310 nm and injection volume was 100 μL. Elution procedure: 1-dimensional column consisted of imipenem-1D mobile phase with eluting for 0-3.40 min; 2-dimensional column consisted of 72% OPI-1 organic mobile phase-20%BPI-1 alkaline mobile phase-8%API-1 acidic mobile phase with eluting for 3.40-11.00 min. RESULTS The linear range of imipenem was 0.171-18.570 μg/mL (R 2=0.999 9) with the lower limit of quantification for 0.171 μg/mL; the recovery rate ranged from 93.47% to 106.16%( n=5) and the RSDs of both intra-day and inter- day precision were below 15% (n=5). The minimum concentration of imipenem in 51 patients ranged from 0 to 19.57 μg/mL. CONCLUSIONS The established method is simple and fast with the large scale of sample, and can be used for the imipenem blood concentration monitoring in patients with severe infection.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the rationality of TLC identification method (3) of (R,S)-epigoitrin in Isatis indigotica stated in 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopeia (partⅠ) (later abbreviated as pharmacopeia), and make some improvements. METHODS: Three batches I. indigotica were collected and prepared into decoction pieces according to the processing method of I. indigotica in pharmacopoeia. TLC identification of (R,S)-goitrin in I. indigotica decoction piece and medicinal material were conducted according to identification method (3) in pharmacopeia (80% ethanol as solvent for sample treatment, ultrasound extraction); the rationality of pharmacopoeia method was investigated. Then the method was improved by changing the extraction solvent and pretreatment method (method one: using water as solvent, ultrasound extraction; method two: soaking in water for 1 h, then adding into methanol, ultrasound extraction; method three: the sample was wetted and then dried, using 80% methanol as solvent, ultrasound extraction) of samples, and the optimal method was verified. According to the optimal method, the TLC identification of (R,S)-goitrin was detected by using chromatographic plates from different manufacturers, under the conditions of low temperature and low humidity (7 ℃, relative humidity 48%) and high temperature and high humidity (35 ℃, relative humidity 75%) respectively,to investigate the durability of the method. RESULTS: According to the method of pharmacopeia, in the chromatograms of decoction pieces, the same color spots appeared at the corresponding chromatographic positions of reference substance, but no corresponding spots appeared in the medicinal material chromatograms. After the samples were treated by three improvement methods, in medicinal material chromatograms, the same color spots appeared in the corresponding chromatographic positions of reference substances. There were single chromatographic spot after medicinal materials were treated with method one, and there were more spots after medicinal materials were treated with method two and three, and method two consumed less time than method three. The results of validation tests and method durability tests showed that after the treatment of I. indigotica and its decoction pieces according to method two, the same color spots appeared in the corresponding positions of the decoction pieces and the medicinal materials chromatograms as those of the control. CONCLUSIONS: The improved TLC identification method is effective, the chromatographic spots are clear, and the repeatability is good.
