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.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features, histogenesis, morphological characteristics, immunophenotypes and differential diagnosis of primary extragonadal yolk sac tumor ( eYST) . Methods Clinicopathological data, morphological charac-teristics and immunophenotypes results of 40 cases of eYST were retrospectively studied and the relevant literatures were reviewed. Re-sults All 40 patients, which included 24 male and 16 female, aged from 6 months to 42 years with a 12 years average age and 17 (42.5%) cases were over 12 years old. Mediastinum, sacrococcygeal, retroperitoneal, pineal gland and vagina were involved in 16 (40.0%), 12(30.0%), 5(12.5%), 4(10.0%) and 3(7.5%), respectively. All 40 cases included 32(80.0%) cases pure YSTs, while other 8(20.0%) cases contained other one or two types of germ cell tumor (GCT) components. Conclusions Primary eYST is rare, mediastinum and sacrococcygeal are the most common anatomic sites for eYST, and these mediastinal tumor patients are overwhelmingly confined to adult males, whose average age are significantly older than that in sacrococcygeal, retroperitoneal, pineal gland and vaginal tumor patients (P<0.05), while other sites eYST are restricted to prepubertal children. Adult eYST contain other types of GCT components in some cases, and children's counterparts are always pure YST. Extragonadal eYST manifestate pleomorphic histological features, which combine with immunohistochemical markers is definite value for diagnosis, differential diagnosis.

Objective To observe the effects of Suoquan Wan(SQW) on the endocrine and immune function of the polyuria rats with kidney-yang deficiency. Methods The model rats were induced by gastric infusion of adenine(250 mg/kg) for 4 weeks, then treated respectively with SQW (at low, middle and high dose respectively), Shenqi Wan and desmopressin for another 4 weeks. The bodyweight and organ index were recorded, and serum cortisone concentration were detected. T cell subsets in peripheral blood were determined by flow cytometry. Results The bodyweight of rats in model group was lower than that in the normal control group. And the bodyweight of rats in desmopressin group, middle-and high-dose SQW groups differed from that in the model group (P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01). The decreased organ indexes of pituitary, adrenal and thymic glands were found in the model group (P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01 compared with the normal group). The thymus index was elevated in all the medication groups except the low-dose SQW group (P < 0. 05). The elevated organ indexes of pituitary and adrenal glands were only found in Shenqi Wan group and high-dose SQW group (P < 0. 05). In the model group serum cortisone concentration was decreased (P < 0. 01). In Shengqi Wan group and middle-and high-dose SQW groups, the cortisone concentration was significantly increased (P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01, compared with the model group). In the model group, the percentages of CD3+ and CD3+/CD4+ T cell subsets in pe-ripheral blood were decreased, and the percentage of CD3+/CD8+ T cell subset was increased (P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01 compared with the normal group). Compared to the model group, the percentages of CD3+ and CD3+/CD4+ T cell sub-sets were increased and the percentage of CD3+/CD8+ T cell subset was decreased in SQW group and Shenqi Wan group. But the differences of T lymphocyte subsets were insignificant between desmopressin group and the model group. Conclu-sion SQW can regulate the endocrine and immune function of the polyuria ratwith kidney-yang deficiency.

BACKGROUND:Retinoic acid is the most promising inducer for neuroblastoma minimal residual lesion, and it can induce cel differentiationin vivo, accompanied by reducing tumor cel proliferation.
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of nanoparticle labeling on biological characteristics of neuroblastoma stem cels, and the role of 13-cis retinoic acid to induce differentiation of neuroblastoma stem cels.
METHODS:Neuroblastoma stem cels were isolated and culturedin vitro using serum-free suspension culture method, labeled with polylysine-modified γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles and induced in culture medium containing 13-cis retinoic acid. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of Oct-4 before and after labeling as wel as before and after induction. Immunofluorescence method was used to detect the expression of nestin before and after labeling as wel as before and after induction.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Neuroblastoma stem cels were successfuly cultured in the bone marrow samples from 5 of 20 cases. Polylysine-modified γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticle labeling did no influence the viability and proliferation ability of neuroblastoma stem cels, and also had no effect on Oct-4 mRNA and nestin expression. After cultured in the culture medium containing 13-cis retinoic acid, the cel shape changed and the growth rate slowed down. Moreover, the expression of Oct-4 mRNA and nestin was gradualy reduced. These findings indicate that polylysine-modified gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles can be used to label neuroblastoma stem cels, and 13-cis retinoic acid can induce the differentiation of neuroblastoma stem cels.
