Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2009;38(5):615-620
Objective To investigate the influence of Memantine on changes of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor 2B (NMDAR-2B) level, the expression of postsynaptic density 95 ( PSD-95) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ (CaMK Ⅱ)activities in the hippocampus of vascular dementia(VD)rats and their recognition. Methods The VD rat model was established by permanent,bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries. One hundred and forty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group, VD model group and Memantine-treated group. The water maze test was performed to detect the ability of learning and memory of the rats,the changes of NMDAR-2B level were measured by RT-PCR,the changes in the expression of PSD-95 were detected by immunohistochemical staining,and the changes in the CaMK Ⅱ activities were determined by incorporation of ~(32)P into histone. Results Compared with the sham-operated group, the ability of learning and memory of VD rats was decreased significantly(P<0. 01); the level of NMDAR-2B and the expression of PSD-95 increased significantly at the 4th week after operation(F<0. 05 or 0. 01)and decreased at the 8th to 16th week after operation (P<0. 01). Total CaMK Ⅱ activity was increased significantly at the 4th week after operation(P<0. 01) ,then dropped at the 8th week after operation(P>0. 05) ,and decreased significantly at the 12th,16th week after operation(P<0. 01). As for Memantine-treated group,at the 4th week after operation,there was no statistically significant difference in the parameters mentioned above in contrast with the sham-operated group. At the 8th,and 12th week after operation,the ability of learning and memory,the level of NMDAR-2B and the expression of PSD-95 were significantly increased as compared with VD rats(P<0. 01 or 0. 05) ,but total CaMK Ⅱ activity was similar to that of VD rats. Conclusion With the development of VD,NMDAR-2B level,the expression of PSD-95 and CaMK Ⅱ activities were firstly over-activated,and then decreased greatly. Memantine can improve VD rats' recognition by modulating the expression of NMDAR-2B,but its effect on CaMK Ⅱactivity was limited.

Objective To understand the application of dietary supplements among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2MD) in two areas of China. Methods A total of 615 T2MD patients were recruited from three hospitals in Beijing and Shenyang, with convenience sampling for the study using self-reported questionnaires. Data were statistically analyzed. Results Overall 34. 8% of the participants (22.5% in Beijing and 45.5% in Shenyang, respectively) reported ever use of at least one dietary supplement in the past 12 months. The most commonly used supplement was royal jelly ( 16. 1% ), followed by vitamins ( 10. 1% ), calcium (8. 8% ),fish oil (7. 3% ), spirulina (3.9%), and lecithin (2. 3% ). Except that royal jelly was used for complementary treatment for T2MD, most of the other supplements were used for improving their body defense. In addition, more than 20 other health dietary supplements were also used for diabetes-related conditions in 8. 5% of the participants surveyed. The participants' main sources of information about dietary supplements were from mass media or recommendations by relatives and friends. About half of supplements users perceived that the dietary supplements were effective. The application of dietary supplements was associated with gender, educational background, living area,perceived burden of medical cost, stage of diabetes, comorbidity, and body mass index (BMI) of the patients ( all P <0. 05). Conclusions Dietary supplements are widely used among T2MD patients in Beijing and Shenyang.The types of these dietary supplements are diverse and lack professional instructions. It is recommended that information on dietary supplements should be included in diabetes education.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of postoperative chemotherapy in patients with early-stage pulmonary large cell neu-roendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) after resection. Methods:A cohort of 50 patients who underwent resection and systematic nodal dissection for LCNEC between January 2008 and December 2014 in our institution was retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into adjuvant chemotherapy group (32 cases) and non-chemotherapy group (18 cases). Follow-up information was investigated. Results:The median survival and the 5-year survival rate were 48 months and 72.5%for the adjuvant chemotherapy group whereas 29 months and 35.6%for the non-adjuvant chemotherapy group, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses using Cox's proportional hazard models showed that postoperative chemotherapy was a signifi cant prognostic factor for OS (P=0.005;hazard ratio=0.281, P=0.008, respectively). Conclusion:Postoperative chemotherapy is beneficial to patients with early-stage pulmonary LCNEC after complete resection.

Objective:To explore the drug application in the postoperative chemotherapy for the patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Methods:The chemotherapy regimens, drug utilization and adverse drug reactions in the non-small cell lung cancer patients received postoperative chemotherapy in 2012 were statistically analyzed in a retrospective study. Results:Totally 8 kinds of chemother-apy regimens were used in 156 cases. The NC( vinorelbine + carboplatin) regimen was used most frequently and the PC( pemetrexed+ carboplatin) regimen was with the highest expense. Proton pump inhibitors, recombinant human erythropoietin and lentinan were the top three in the adjuvant drugs used in the treatment. Conclusion:It is necessary to further standardize the postoperative chemo-therapy for non-small cell lung cancer patients. Thoracic surgeons along with pharmacists should strengthen the drug use monitoring during the whole treatment process to promote the rational drug use.
