To prepare rivastigmine liposome, rivastigmine was loaded into liposome via ammonium sulfate gradient method. Its pharmacokinetic profile in rats was evaluated after intranasal administration. The size, zeta potential, entrapped efficiency and release of rivastigmine from the liposome in vitro were determined. Plasma concentration of rivastigmine was determined by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) using antipyrine as internal standard. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 2.0. The entrapped efficiency of rivastigmine liposome was (33.41 +/- 6.58) %, with the mean diameter of 154-236 nm and zeta potential of (-10.47 +/- 2.41) mV. The release behavior of rivastigmine was fitting the first order equation in vitro. The pharmacokinetic studies indicated that the C(max), T(max) and AUC(0-infinity), of rivastigmine liposome were (1.50 +/- 0.15) mg x L(-1), 15 min and (89.06 +/- 8.30) mg x L(-') x min, respectively. Rivastimine liposome was absorbed rapidly, and could reach a certain concentration in rat plasma after intranasal delivery.

Objective To analyze the characteristics and clinical value of time intensity curve (TIC) of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in recurrent small hepatocellular carcinoma (RSHCC) and primary small hepatocellular carrcinoma (PSHCC). Methods Sixty-five cases of RSHCC (all lesions ≤3 cm) were devided into group B1 with 42 cases of RSHCC (≤2 years ) , and group B2 with 23 cases of RSHCC ( > 2 yeras ) and group A invloved 49 cases of PSHCC (all lesions ≤3 cm). Enhancement patterns in arterial, portal and delayed phase were evaluated respectively in three groups through CEUS and analytic software Sonoliver was applied to obtain quantitative features of CEUS in the region of interest. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was drawn and the area under curve (AUC) was calculated. Results CEUS showed hyper-enhancement difference in arte-rial phase in group B2 (72.4%) and group A (94.8%)(P′ = 0.008) showed statistical significance, but no sig-nificance was found in enhanced iso in portal phase (P = 0.078). Hypo-enhancement in the delayed phase in group B2 (75.9%), group A (96.6%) and group B1 (95.3%) (P′ = 0.003, P′ = 0.005). TIC showed HT difference (half time of descending) in B2 group, A group and B1 group (P′ = 0.007, P′ = 0.013) indicated statistical significance but RT, TTP, MTT(P = 0.319,P = 0.104, P = 0.461) showed no difference. AUC was 0.841 (half time of descending). Conclusions Enhancement patterns of CEUS (RSHCC) are related to recur-rent time . En hancement patterns of RSHCC (> 2 years ) is not typical so CEUS should be combined with quanti-tative analysis of TIC to provide reference for its treatment and prognosis.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of lipid emulsion on acute organophosphorus poisoning and its consequence of acute lung injury. Methods A total of 48 sealant - grade Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups A,B,C,D,namely saline control group,lipid emulsion control group,the conventional therapy group and lipid emulsion administration group. After dichlorvos (DDVP) 11 mg/kg was given by intra-peritoneal injection,if there was no loss of DDVP during the injection process,the model of poisoning was considered to be made successfully.Then the rat models in four groups were respectively treated:with normal saline (5 ml/kg) intravenous injection in group A,lipid emulsion (5ml/kg) intravenous injection in group B,atropine (5 mg/kg) and pralidoxime chloride (40 mg/kg) intramuscular injection in group C,and combined use of lipid emulsion (5 ml/kg) with atropine and pralidoxime chloride in group D after administration of DDVP by intra-peritoneal injection.The activity of cholinesterase (CHE) in blood was detected before and 0.5 h,2 h and 4 h after DDVP poisoning. The clinical manifestations,the survival of rats,the wet weight of rat' s lung and the pathological changes of the lung tissue were observed within following 24 h. The rates of survival and symptoms of rats were compared between paired groups by using the x2 test,and the mean values of biomarkers were compared paired groups by using t test. Results In groups A and B,the intensity of muscular fasciculation and salivation were more severe and appeared sooner after DDVP exposure in comparison with groups C and D leading to lower survival rates in group A and B. Compared with group C,the rate of 24 h survival was higher and the intensity of muscular fasciculation was weaker in group D ( P < 0.05 ).In group A and group B,the 24-hour survival rates were 1/12 and 2/12,respectively ( P < 0.05 ).The levels of CHE in blood significantly decreased after DDVP poisoning ( P < 0.05 ).There was no significant difference in activity of CHE between group B and group A,and in groups C and D,the levels of CHE in blood were not significantly higher than that in the group B 0.5 h after DDVP poisoning ( P < O.05 ).In groups C and D,the activity of CHE in blood was significantly higher compared with group A and B,and that in group D was higher compared with C,and that in group B was higher compared with A 2 and 4 hours after DDVP poisoning ( P < 0.05 ).In groups C and D,the wet weight of rat lung was significantly lighter compared with groups A and B,and that in group D was lighter compared with C,and that in group B was lighter compared with A 24 h after DDVP poisoning P < 0.05 ).The electron microscopic findings showed the combined use of lipid emulsion with atropine and pralidoxime chloride obviously lessened the lung histopathologic changes after DDVP poisoning.Conclusions The lipid emulsion combined with atropine and pralidoxime chloride can be beneficial to controlling the toxic symptoms,reduce the death rate,accelerate the resume of the activity of CHE in blood,and relieve the lung injury induced by acute organophosphorus poisoning.

Objective To evaluate the diabetes self-management program based on Chinese local patients in Nanjing community. Methods From April 2014 to June 2014, diabetes patients were recruited through health records system screening in the community health service centers, letter invitation, poster announcements at communities, and telephone notification. A total of 53 self-management groups were established. Nanjing diabetes self-management program included six 1-1.5 hours sessions scheduled on consecutive weeks, based on the blueprint of Shanghai Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) developed at Stanford University. Baseline and three-month later interviews were conducted respectively. Results A total of 636 patients were recruited and agreed to enter CDSMP; 603 completed the 6-session activities, with the response rate being 94.8%. Compared to baseline, nine of the patients' the awareness rate of diabetes-related knowledge, six of self-management behaviors, the scores of quality of life in physical component summary [(47.51 ± 9.47) vs. (49.10 ± 8.27) points, t=6.170, P=0.000] and mental component summary [(47.09±11.95) vs. (49.13±10.74) points, t=5.157, P=0.000] were all higher after three months (all P values<0.05). Three months after implementation, the level of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose and total cholesterol decreased respectively by (1.42±0.52) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (0.98 ± 0.34) mmHg, (0.66 ± 0.16) mmol/L, (0.15 ± 0.56) mmol/L,the differences were statistically significant (tpaired values were 3.935, 2.030, 4.889, 4.899, all P values<0.05). Conclusion The diabetes self-management program based on Chinese local patients for Nanjing may improve patients' awareness rate of diabetes-related knowledge, self-management behavior, the quality of life, and health status. CDSMP could be applied effectively in Nanjing.

Objective To investigate the correlation between cerebral microbleeds (CMBs ) and cognitive impairment in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia. Methods From January 2015 to January 2017, patients with chronic cerebral ischemia admitted to the Department of Neurology, the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were divided into CMBs positive group and CMBs negative group according to the findings of susceptibility weighted imaging. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were used to compare the cognitive function of both groups of patients and analyze the effects of different parts of CMBs on cognitive function. They were divided into cognitive impairment group and non-cognitive impairment group according to MoCA scores. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for cognitive impairment. Results A total of 96 patients were enrolled, aged 45-83 years, 32 were females (33. 3%) and 64 were males (66. 7%). There were 51 patients (53. 1%) in the CMBs positive group, and 45 (46. 9%) in the CMBs negative group, there were 33 patients (34. 4%) in the cognitive impairment group and 63 (65. 6%) in the non-cognitive impairment group. In the CMBs positive group, 10 patients had lobar CMBs, 29 had deep brain and infratentorial CMBs, and 12 had mixed CMBs. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio [OR] 1. 115, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1. 030-1. 207; P = 0. 007), the number of CMBs (OR 1. 254, 95% CI 1. 064-1. 479; P = 0. 007), Fazekas scale score (OR 2. 697, 95% CI 1. 012-7. 185; P = 0. 047), and multiple lacunar infarction ( OR 7. 103, 95% CI 1. 248- 40. 424; P = 0. 027 ) were the independent risk factors for cognitive impairment. Compared with the CMBs negative group, the rates of cognitive impairment and dementia in the CMBs positive group were higher. The total MoCA score, visual space and execution function, attention, and delayed recall scores were significantly lower (all P < 0. 05). Each cognitive domain score in the lobar CMBs group were significantly lower than that in the non-lobar CMBs group (all P < 0. 05). There was no significant difference in each cognitive domain score between deep and infratentorial CMBs group and that of the non-deep and infratentorial CMBs group (all P > 0. 05). The visual space and execution function, attention, and delayed recall in the mixed CMBs group were significantly lower than those in the non-mixed CMBs group (all P < 0. 05). Conclusion CMBs (especially lobar CMBs) may cause a decline in overall cognitive function, even dementia in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia, and they are most closely related to visual space and executive function, attention, and delayed recall.

Objective:To investigate the joint associations of smoking and insufficient physical activity with hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia in male adults.Methods:Based on the data from the 2017 Nanjing Chronic Diseases Risk Factors Surveillance Program, 61 098 Nanjing residents aged 18 and older was randomly recruited from 12 districts, using the multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method. Information about smoking behaviors, physical activity and chronic disease-related indicators within the first 12 months before the survey was obtained through questionnaires.Results:Among the 29 848 valid male samples, the proportions of non-smokers, current smokers and ex-smokers were 59.6%, 37.2% and 3.2%, and the proportions of those who had physically active<600 MET-min/w (insufficient physically active) and ≥600 MET-min/w (adequate physically active) were 18.8% and 82.2%, respectively. In non-smokers, current smokers and ex-smokers, the prevalence of hypertension was 24.7%, 34.0% and 43.8%, and the prevalence of diabetes was 8.8%, 12.3% and 16.5%, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 26.8%, 36.1% and 41.9%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that current smokers had a higher risk of hypertension ( OR=1.164, 95% CI: 1.086-1.248), diabetes ( OR=1.324, 95% CI: 1.207-1.452), and dyslipidemia ( OR=1.291, 95% CI: 1.216-1.371) than non-smokers in male adults. Compared with people who had adequate physical activity, someone with insufficient physical activity had higher hypertension ( OR=1.452, 95% CI: 1.331-1.583), diabetes ( OR=1.170, 95% CI: 1.041-1.315) and dyslipidemia ( OR=1.245, 95% CI: 1.158-1.338). And current smokers with insufficient physical activity had the highest risk of hypertension ( OR=1.749, 95% CI: 1.550-1.974), diabetes ( OR=1.363, 95% CI: 1.165-1.595), and dyslipidemia ( OR=1.614, 95% CI: 1.461-1.782) in male adults. Conclusions:Smoking and insufficient physical activity are risk factors for hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. People who is characterized by smoking together with insufficient physical activity presents with increased risk on developing hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia.
