Objective To discuss the diagnosis and management of metastatic adrenal carcinoma. Methods Forty-seven cases with metastatic tumor in the adrenal glands were analyzed retrospectively from December 1996 to April 2010. Lung was the most common primary tumor site (51.1 %, 24 cases), followed by the renal cell carcinoma (12.8%, 6 cases), liver cancer (10.6%,5 cases), breast cancer (8.5%, 4 cases), melanoma (4.2%, 2 cases), and other carcinoma (12.8%,6 cases). Most patients with metastatic adrenal carcinoma had no special clinic manifestation. Lesions of 36 cases were surgically removed and 11 cases gave up operation. Results The mean survival time were 33.8±4.5 months for 31 cases underwent adrenalectomy and 6.3±2.7 months for 6 cases without operation. Patients with surgically removed adrenal metastases had better survival than those without surgical resection. Conclusions Adrenal gland is a common site of metastatic carcinoma.Ultrasonographic and CT scans are important diagnosis methods for metastatic adrenal carcinoma. Operation is still effective and long-term survival may be achieved for those well selected patients, but surgical indication must be strictly monitored.
5. Absorbable suture anchors for treating femoroacetabular impingement syndrome combined with acetabular labral tears
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2020;24(4):499-504
BACKGROUND: Metal anchors are not easily accepted by patients as permanent foreign bodies, so bioabsorbable anchors have been gradually applied in orthopedics in recent years. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of absorbable suture anchors for repairing femoroacetabular impingement syndrome combined with acetabular labral tears. METHODS: Eighty patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome combined with acetabular labral tears admitted in Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from February 2014 to February 2016 were selected, and all were treated by absorbable suture anchors under arthroscopy. The Harris hip score, and the Visual Analogue Scale score at baseline, postoperative 1 and 3 months were recorded and compared to assess the effectiveness. The complications and material-host reaction were recorded. The treatment satisfaction was evaluated. The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of Beijing Shijitan Hospital and all patients and their families signed the informed consents. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The Harris hip scores at 1 and 3 years postoperatively in 80 patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome combined with acetabular labral tears were significantly higher than those at baseline, and the Visual Analogue Scale scores were significantly lower than those at baseline (P < 0. 05). (2) The excellent and good rate of treatment in patients at 1 and 3 years was 90. 0% and 97. 50%, respectively, and the treatment satisfaction was 87. 4% and 93. 8%, respectively. The excellent and good rate of treatment and treatment satisfaction presented an increased trend with time, but had no significant difference (P > 0. 05). (3) None appeared with anchor drop off, cartilage injury or material-host reaction. In summary, the method of absorbable suture anchors under arthroscopy has the advantages of minimal invasion, reliable fixation, simple operation, no metal implants, and significant clinical effect to treat femoroacetabular impingement syndrome combined with acetabular labral tears.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) in protection of rat hearts from ischemia/reperfusion injury and its underlying mechanisms.
METHODSCardiac contractility, lactate dehydrogenase(LDH), creatine kinase(CK) and infarct area were analyzed by the Langendorff isolated rat hearts. All isolated hearts were subjected to 30 min of ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion.
RESULTSPerfusion with 25 micromol/L of CORM-2 (an exogenous CO releaser) during the first 10 min of reperfusion prevented the increase in LVEDP and decrease in LVDP, +dp/dt(max) in isolated ischemia/reperfusion hearts. CORM-2(25 micromol/L) had no effect on the changes of coronary flow, but it really inhibited the release of LDH and CK, and also reduced the infarct size. Perfusion with 10 micromol/L of CORM-2 decreased the LDH, CK and infarct size, but it did not improve the contractility of ischemia/reperfusion hearts. However, perfusion with 100 micromol/L of CORM-2 exacerbated the injury induced by ischemia/reperfusion. Pretreatment of a NOS inhibitor L-NAME and a HO-1 inhibitor ZnPP partly abolished the protection effect of CORM-2(25 micromol/L) on LVEDP, and L-NAME and a GC inhibitor methylene blue could also cancel the enhance of LVDP and +dp/dt(max) incuced by CORM-2. All of the inhibitor (methylene blue, L-NAME, a mitoK(ATP )channel blocker 5-HD and ZnPP) could partly enlarge infarct area compared with CORM-2 treatment.
CONCLUSIONSExogenous CO could protect heart from ischemia/reperfusion injury. The cardiac protection of CO might be through NOS-cGMP and HO-1 pathway, and the activation of mitoK(ATP)channel might be also involved in.

ObjectiveIn order to investigate anti-ageing mechanisms of the notoginsenoside Rg1,we used Aβ_(1-42) and D-galactose to establish aging rat model. Methods Ninety rats were divided into three groups at random: sham group, model group, treatment group. Aging rat models were established by injecting peritoneally D-galactose (100 mg/kg) to the rats for 56 days and after 35 days aggregated Aβ_(1-42)(μg) was injected to the right lateral ventricle of rats. Meantime, rats were treated by intragastric administration the notoginsenoside Rg1. Then spatial memory of experimental rats was examined with the Morris water maze(MWM). The thiol antioxidants including glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities were examined by colorimetric method. The concentration of the pro-caspase-3 and Bcl-2 were examined by the immunohistochemistry and Western blotting method. Results In aging model rats escape latercies were significantly prolonged (P<0.05), while decreases were seen in the time of staying the third quadrants of platform, the number of crossing over a platform, the concentration of the GR, GSH-Px, and pro-caspase-3 as compared with the sham group(P<0.05). After treatment of the notoginsenoside Rg1, the aging model rats exhibited significant increases in the time of staying the third quadrants of platform, the number of crossing over a platform, the concentration of the GR, GSH-Px, and pro-caspase-3(P<0.05), while a decrease was observed in escape latercies as compared to control group(P<0.05). Moreover there was no significant difference in the expression of the Bcl-2(P>0.05). Conclusion The results from our study indicate that the notoginsenoside Rg1 could improve the oriented learning and memory capacity and prevent the neurodegeneration of central nervous systems in aging model rats by up-regulating the expression of the thiol antioxidants(including GR and GSH-Px) and resisting the cleavage of the pro-caspase-3.

A chiral high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed for the simultaneous determination of ibuprofen enantiomers in dog plasma. It was used to study the pharmacokinetics in the Beagle dog after intravenous administration of racemic-ibuprofen, S-ibuprofen and R-ibuprofen. Ketoprofen was chosen as the internal standard. After a simple precipitation using methanol as the precipitating solvent, both analytes and IS were separated on a Kromasil 100-5CHI-TBB chiral column (250 mm x4.6 mm, 5 μm) with isocratic elution using acetonitrile - 20 mmol x L(-1) phosphate buffer (pH 3.0, containing 5% methanol) (6 : 4) as the mobile phase. The detection wavelength was 220 nm. Liner calibration curves for both of the ibuprofen enantiomers were over the concentration range from 0.5 to 50 μg x mL(-1) with a lower limit of quantification of 0.5 μg x mL(-1), the accuracies were all in standard ranges. The intra- and inter- assay precisions were all below 7%. The recovery rate was 93.1% to 100.4%. The experiments proved that the method was simple, rapid and sensitive. It can be used in the quantitative determination of ibuprofen enantiomers in dog plasma. The method was used to determine the concentration of ibuprofen enantiomers in Beagle dog plasma after a single intravenous administration of racemic-ibuprofen, S-ibuprofen and R-ibuprofen (9 mg x kg(-1)) and the pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated based on the concentration-time curves. The C(max) of S-ibuprofen in Beagle dog plasma after a single intravenous administration of racemic-ibuprofen, S-ibuprofen and R-ibuprofen were 30.8 ± 4.7, 46.1 ± 5.9 and 20.0 ± 2.6 μg x mL(-1), respectively. In terms of the exposure of active ingredient, it revealed a significant difference between the administration of S-ibuprofen and the other two groups. The systematical R- to S- chiral inversion was discussed. Comparing the pharmacokinetic parameters at different doses, chiral inversion were 70.1% ± 36.6% and 76.4% ± 36.2%, respectively, after intravenous administration of racemic- and R-ibuprofen. This study provides a theoretical basis for the safety of ibuprofen formula of injection drug.
