OBJECTIVE:To detect and analyze the safety signals of pemetrexed in post-marketing,and provide references for rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS:A form of data mining techniques was used to detect the safety signals of pemetrexed in American adverse events reporting system and the analysis of signal effect factors i.e.,gender,age,dosage and indication was per-formed by SPSS 19.0. RESULTS:173 signals related to pemetrexed were excavated in 5 397 235 reports,and the number of report-ed adverse event in blood-lymphatic system was the most(491)and the number of signals in gastrointestinal system was the most (17). There was no statistical significance in the distribution of blood-lymphatic system and gastrointestinal system in gender(P=0.075) and age (P=0.726) compared to other system adverse event,but there was statistical significance in dosage (P=0.007) and indication(P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS:Adverse events induced by pemetrexed in blood-lymphatic system and gastrointestinal system should be monitored at the same time,especially combined with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Objective:To study the related factors of severe acute radiation-induced lung injury (SAR) caused by IMRT and concurrent chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the data of 2 323 non-small cell lung cancer pa-tients who underwent IMRT radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy at the Department of Radiotherapy of Tianjin Medical Univer-sity Cancer Institute and Hospital from January 2010 to January 2014. We analyzed the clinical factors and parameters that affect dose by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results:A total of 2 323 patients enrolled and 1 241 cases suffering from acute radiation-in-duced lung injury with the rate of 53.4%. Only 185 cases suffered from SARP with a rate of 7.96%. Univariate analysis showed that the gender, histopathological type, total radiation dose, V5 (%), and average dose rate are not related to SARP (P>0.05). By contrast an age of>60 years, 1%predicted FEV, docetaxel+carboplatin/cisplatin chemotherapy, V20 (%), V30 (%), and mean lung dose (MLD) are sig-nificantly related to SARP (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that a patient age of>60 years, docetaxel+carboplatin/cisplatin che-motherapy, V20 (%), and V30 (%) are the independent risk factors of SARP. Conclusion:Among the non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing IMRT radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy, further attention should be given to elderly patients, patients receiving docetaxel and platinum chemotherapy, as well as V20 and V30 with high doses. The necessary preventive treatment should be given to reduce the incidence of SARP, improve the quality of life of patients, and reduce the incidence of respiratory failure and mortality.

Objective To investigate the value of fused 3D-SPACE and 3D-TOF images in diagnosis of intracranial neurovascular compression syndrome.Methods 26 patients with intracranial neurovascular compression syndrome were examined using 3D-SPACE sequence and 3D-TOF sequence.After 3D-SPACE and 3D-TOF were fused by different times,the quality of image as well as the ability of j udging the relationship between nerves and blood vessels was analyzed and compared between the original images and the fused images.Results In this study,the fused images by adding one 3D-SPACE sequence and one 3D-TOF sequence showed the highest accurate than others(2 1 cases),and the j udgement of the relationship between the responsible blood vessels and nerve accor-ded with the surgical results to the highest extent (P<0.05).Conclusion The fusion image of 3D-SPACE sequence and 3D-TOF se-quence can improve the diagnostic ability of the intracranial neurovascular compression syndrome,and the appropriate proportion of the fusion image can show the relationship between the nerve and blood vessel.

Objective: To express CTX-M-38 type extended-spectrum-lactamase, and detect its distribution and antibiotic susceptibilities. Methods: Total of 46 strains producing ESBL E.coli was collected from the first affiliated hospital of Zheng zhou University. The CTX-M-38 ESBL gene was selected by PCR using gene recombination technique to construct pET28a-CTX-M-38. The expression of CTX-M-38 in BL21 E.coli and its antibiotic susceptibilities were carried out by liquid dilution test. Testing the enzyme activities of culture supernatant and bacteria sonicate to reflect its distribution. Results: The size of amplified gene product was about 900 bp. The DNA sequence was matched with the information of gene bank. The enzyme activities from bacteria sonicate were stronger than the culture supernatant .The transformant was resistance to penicillins, the first, second and third generations of cephalosporins. It was sensitive to imipenem. The transformant was also sensitive to ceftazidime and aztreonam in vitro, and resistance to antibiotics including beta-lactamase inhibitors except piperacillin/tazobactam. The transformant was also resistance to gentamicin,minocycline, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. Conclusion: The CTX-M-38 type ESBL is successfully expressed at designed experimental condition in this study. The product mainly lies inside the bacteria. The transformant shows wide resistance to antibiotics.

Objective To explore the clinical and serological features of patients with pneumomdiastinum (PNM) and dermatomyositis associated interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD).Methods A total of 145 polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) patients hospitalized in our department from March,2010 to December,2012 were recruited.The sera,clinical and laboratory data were collected.Anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (anti-ARS) and anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibodies were detected by RNA-immunoprecipitation (RNA-IP) and ELISA,respectively.Anti-NXP2,anti-TIF1γ,anti-SRP,anti-SAE and antiMi2 antibodies were detected by immunoprecipitation-Western blotting.Variables were compared between DM patients with and without PNM,as well as between DM-ILD patients with and without PNM.Chi square test,Fisher's exact test,t test,Mann-Whitney U test and a multivariate logistic regression model were used for statistical analysis.Results A total of 11 DM patients (10 patients positive for anti-MDA5 and 1 patient positive for anti-Mi2) developed spontaneous PNM.No PM patient developed PNM.No differences of sex,age at the onset of DM,serum ferritin levels and C reactive protein (CRP) levels was observed between DM patients with and without PNM.Compared with DM patients without PNM,DM patients with PNM had significantly higher frequencies of rapidly progressive ILD (RP-ILD) (63.6％ vs 24.4％,x2=7.25,P=0.01),anti-MDA5 antibodies (90.9％ vs 52.4％,x2=5.86,P=0.02),clinically amyopathic DM (CADM) (63.6％ vs 22.0％,x2=8.57,P=0.007) and cutaneous ulcers (36.4％ vs 11％,x2=5.20,P=0.04),but significantly lower creatine kinase (CK) levels [58.5 (30.5,394.3) U/L vs 284 (73.0,917.0) U/L,t=207.5,P=0.04].The logistic multivariate analysis indicated that cutaneous ulcer was the only independent risk factor for the occurrence of PNM in DM [OR=5.98,95％ confidence interval (CI) (1.12,31.98),P=0.037].In the comparisons between DM-ILD patients with and without PNM,a higher frequency of CADM was observed in the PNM group (63.6％ vs 27.9％,x2=5.37,P=0.03),but no significant difference of the frequencies of RP-ILD,anti-MDA5 antibodies,cutaneous ulcers and CK levels was found in these two groups.All patients with PNM were treated with corticosteroids and immunosuppressants.During the follow-up period,6 patients died of respiratory failure.Conclusion Spontaneous PNM is a refractory complication with poor prognosis,and tends to occur in DM patients with RP-ILD,anti-MDA5 antibody,CADM diagnosis and low CK level,especially in patients with cutaneous ulcers.

This study aimed to detect the combined effects of gallic acid (GA)and ciprofloxacin (CIP)on the murine chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS)model in mice.Pseudomonas aeruginosa from refractory CRS nasal samples were isolated and a CRS model in mice was induced.GA and CIP were intragastrically administered singly or in combination.The nasal histopathologic change was observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE)staining.The concentration of TNF-α;IL-6 and IL-8 in serum were determined by ELISA assay.The activity of SOD and contents of MDA and ROS were measured with commercially available kits.The expressions of IκB;NF-κB p65;TNF-α;IL-6 and IL-8 in nasal mucosa tissues were measured by Western blotting assay.The results showed that the inflammation of CRS in each treatment group was significantly attenuated.The expression level of TNF-α;IL-6;IL-8;MDA;NF-κB p65 and the contents of ROS were reduced significantly in treated groups;while the activity of SOD and the expression level of IκB were increased.More obvious effects were achieved in CA and CIP combined group.The data showed that combination of GA and CIP was superior to GA or CIP alone;and the combined therapy might be related with inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway and downregulating the expressions of TNF-α;IL-6 and IL-8.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is becoming a common practice in the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) of all age.Depression is considered to be a risk factor for the development of CHD and deteriorates the outcome after cardiac rehabilitation efforts.The aim of our study was to evaluate the presence of clinically relevant anxiety and depression in patients before and after PCI.Additionally we evaluated their relationship to age because of the increasing number of elderly patients undergoing PCI.Methods One hundred and twelve consecutive patients in three Sanatoria for Retired Cadres in Beijing who underwent PCI were asked to fill in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to measure depression and anxiety scores two days before and ten days after PCI.Differences between these pre- and post-surgical scores were then calculated as means for changes,and the amount of elevated scores was appraised,in order to investigate the relationship between age and anxiety and depression,respectively,Spearman correlations between age and the difference scores were calculated.In addition,ANOVA procedures with the factor age group and McNemar tests were calculated.Results 25.8% of the patients were clinically depressed before and 17.5% after PCI;34.0% of the patients were clinically anxious before and 24.7% after PCI.This overall change is not significant.We found a significant negative correlation between age and the difference between the two time points for anxiety (Spearman rho = -.218,P = 0.03),but not for depression (Spearman rho = -.128,P = 0.21).ANOVA and McNemar tests revealed that anxiety scores and the number of patients high in anxiety declined statistically meaningful only in the youngest patient group.Such a relationship could not be found for depression.Conclusions Our data show a relationship between age and anxiety.Younger patients are more anxious before PCI than older ones and show a decline in symptoms while elderly patients show hardly any change.(J Geriatr Cardiol 2008;5:203-206)
