At present,transplantation has been the predominant way to solve most of the end-stage diseases,ensued by the use of immunosuppressive drugs.Since the immunosuppressive drugs have narrow therapeutic index,the blood drug concentration is needed to mornior.Pharmacogenetics is one subject which focuses on the interaction between gene and the metabolism of the drug,providing great help for designing the regime of achieving the target drug concentration.Meanwhile,it facilitates the realization of individual therapy.This review thus focuses on the latest advancement on the pharmacogenetics of those immunosupprressants,hoping to provide help for the treatment.

Objective To analyze blood-CSF barrier and cerebrospinal intrathecal IgG synthesis in patients of multiple sclerosis, and explore the Protis software, IgG index and IgG synthesis rate in the and evaluation for cerebrospinal intrathecal IgG synthesis and blood-CSF barrier dysfunction. Methods 134 patients with neurological diseases were divided into threes groups, including multiple sclerosis group (34 cases), disease control group(80 cases) and control group(20 cases). IgG and ALB concentration of CSF and blood was detected by BN-Ⅱ. The oligoclonal IgG was detected by immunofixation electrophoresis. The relationship between Protis software results and IgG index or IgG synthesis rate was calculated and analyzed. Results The function of blood-brain barrier was almost normal in multiple sclerosis group,QALB was 4.5×10-3[(3.1-7.6)×10-3], there was no significance compared with control group (D=5.25, P>0.05). there were 31 patients with oligaclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluids in multiple sclerosis group (34 patients) with the positive rate of 91.2%. In multiple sclerosis group the intrethecal IgGIF, IgG index and IgG synthesis rate of 24 hours were 31.25% (11.65%-71.45 %), 0.93% (0.80%-1.04%), 24.25 mg/24 h(15.25-46.15 mg/24 h) ,the results were all higher than that in control group (D=175.5, 112.5,103.4,P<0.05). And in multiple sclerosis group there was no significant difference among the intrethecal IgGIF, IgG index and IgG synthesis rate of 24 hours, the positive rate of oligaclonal bands (P>0.05). In disease control group(80 patients) QALB Was 35.2×10-3[(18.5-55.5)×10-3] ,the result was significantly higher than control group (D=102.7, P<0.05), the oligaclonal bands were all negative, IgG index and IgG synthesis rate of 24 hours were 0.75(0.69-0.82) ,44.29 mg/24 h(20.35-65.98 mg/24 h) were both higher than control group(D=85.6,98.5,P<0.05). In disease control group the positive rate of intrathecal IgGIF, IgG index and IgG synthesis rate of 24 hours were 0 (0/80), 40.0% (32/80), 72.5% (58/80) respectively, IgG index and its positive rate both increased alone with the lesion degree of blood-brain barrier increasing (P<0.05). And there was similar trend in the IgG synthesis rate of 24 hours. There were significant correlations among intrathecal IgGIF, IgG index and IgG synthesis rate of 24 hours in multiple sclerosis group (r=0.788, 0.695 ,P<0.05). However there was no correlation among intrathecal IgGIF, IgG index and IgG synthesis rate of 24 hours in disease control group (r=0.000,P>0.05). Conclusions The Protis software can be used to analyze the intrathecal IgGIF and reflect the actual status of intrathecal IgG synthesis more accurately. Protis software has great application value for clinical diagnosis for nervous system disease.

Objective To evaluate and monitor the efifcacy of GnRH analogs (GnRHa) therapy. Methods Thirty girls with central precocious puberty diagnosied by LHRH stimulation test were treated with GnRHa for 6-24 months. The LHRH stimula-tion test were performed again at 3 months after initiation of therapy and then every 6 months during treatment. The relationship of peark LH and clinical suppressing pubertal (including Turner stage, bone age, grwoth speed) were compared. The monitor effect of peak LH to efifcacy of GnRHa were eveluated. Results Ninety LHRH stimulation tests were performed, only 7 cases were found to have clinical pubertal development. After 6 months treatment, the base LH level of thirty girls (0.48±0.20) IU/L was signiifcantly lower than that before the treatment (0.75±0.35 IU/L) (P=0.000). The correlation coefifcient between base LH and peak LH was 0.62. The best correlation between clinical suppressing pubertal and LHRH stimulation test was achieved when peak LH was less than 2 IU/L (85.7%sensitivity, 100%speciifcity). Conclusions Base LH value can be used in preliminary as-sessment of the efifcacy of GnRHa therapy for girls with central precocious puberty. The peak LH less than 2 IU/L can be as the indicator of treatment efifcacy.

Objective: To investigate the current status and influencing factors of sleep disorders among pregnant women, so as to provide insights into health management during pregnancy. Methods: Pregnant women who underwent prenatal checkups at Hangzhou Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from January to October 2023 were selected as subjects, and general data including age, pregnancy period and exercise were collected through questionnaire surveys. Sleep quality, pregnancy stress, anxiety and depression were evaluated using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale, Pregnancy-related Anxiety Scale and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, respectively. Factors affecting sleep disorders among pregnant women were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 386 pregnant women was surveyed, with a mean age of (30.28±4.65) years, including 20.47% in the first trimester, 47.93% in the second trimester and 31.61% in the third trimester. Women with anxiety and depression accounted for 14.51% and 21.76%, respectively. Pregnancy stress was mainly moderate, accounting for 51.04%. There were 106 pregnant women with sleep disorders, accounting for 27.46%. Mutivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age (≥35 years, OR=1.656, 95%CI: 1.094-2.503), pregnancy period (third pregnancy, OR=2.097, 95%CI: 1.213-3.621), regular exercise in the past 6 months (OR=0.376, 95%CI: 0.210-0.670), anxiety (OR=2.794, 95%CI: 1.545-5.048), depression (OR=3.501, 95%CI: 1.877-6.529) and pregnancy stress (moderate, OR=1.355, 95%CI: 1.018-1.801; severe, OR=2.538, 95%CI: 1.417-4.540) were the factors affecting sleep disorders among pregnant women. Conclusions Sleep disorders of pregnant women is influenced by age, pregnancy period, pregnancy stress, anxiety, depression and exercise. It is necessary to identify high-risk individuals with sleep disorders early, and to provide psychological intervention and prenatal health guidance.

Objective The comparison of the clinical role of stress-redistribution/reinjection with dual isotopes of 99Tcm-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (MIBI) and 201TI in the detection of myocardial viability.Methods One hundred and sixty patients with clinically suspicious coronary artery disease (CAD) were included.All had intravenous injection with 740 MBq of 99Tcm-MIBI.Pharmacological challenge with dobu-macological challenge with dobutamin,111 MBq of 201Tl Was injected to all.Myocardial SPECT images were performed in all at 10-min (stress) and 3-h (redistribution/rest) after injection.The 201Tl(37 MBq)would be given to those patients with myocardial perfusion defect at stress images by 201Tl and were demon-strated by both 201Tl(redistribution) and 99Tcm-MIBI (rest).Coronary angiography (CAG) Was performed within two weeks.X2-test was used with SAS 6.12.Results Coronary artery abnormalities were found in all with 76 patients had one vessel disease,51 had two and 33 had three.Of the 152 patients who had myo- cardial perfusion defect during stress images,63 had redistribution by both 201TI and 99Tcm-MIBI.5 had re-distribution by 201Tl only.9 had redistribution by 99Tcm-MIBI only,and 75 had no redistribution in 201Tl or 99Tcm-MIBI images.The sensitivity of detection myocardial viability with myocardial SPECT images between 201Tl at redistribution (66.0%,68/103) and 99Tcm-MIBI at rest (69.9%,72/103) were insignificant (x2=O.36.P>0.05).Of the 75 patients who did not have redistribution in 201Tl or 99Tcm-MIBI images.34.7% (26/75)had myocardial perfusion when reinjection of 201Tl.In all,there were eight false negative myocardial perfusion SEPCT images.Three were triple vessel disease,one Was two, three were one, and the other was patent collateral circulation.Conclusions Stress.redistributed/reinjection 201TI myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging is superior to stress 201Tl/rest 99Tcm-MIBI simultaneous dual-isotopic myocardial imaging in the detec-tion of myocanrdial viability.

Objective To observe the protective effects of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation alone with bone marrow stem cells mobilization on liver cells in rats with severe acute paucreatitis in order to explore their mechanism. Method After the establishment of severe acute pancreatitis in rats made by intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine, 240 SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n = 48), model control group (n = 48), bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplanted (MSC) group (n = 48), granu-lacyte-colony stimulating factor treated (G-CSF) group (n = 48) and MSC + G-CSF (n = 48). The rats of MSC group were prepared by injection of 1.2 mL MSC into femoral vein 6 hours after SAP. The rats of G-CSF group were prepared by subcutaneous injection of G-CSF 40 μg/kg for 3 days before SAP. The rats of MSC + G-CSF group received MSC and G-CSF together. The rats of sham-operated group were injected with equal volume of nor-real saline. The rats in each group were sabdivided into 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h sub-groups (n = 12) according to the examinations in different intervals after operation. Of different subgroups, the morality rate, pathological changes, expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2 proteins and apoptosis indexes of livers were observed respectively. The contents of serum TNF-α,IL-6,ALT,AST,LDH and CRP were simultaneously determined to compare the difference among subgroups by variance analysis. Results Compared to the respective model group, the mortality rates of all treated 72 h subgroups showed no difference (P > 0.05), and no rats died before 48 h. The pathological injuries of liver cells were rather attenuated in rats of treated group than in rats of control group. The liver cell apoptosis in-dexes of 48 h and 72 h MSC + G-CSF subgroups were 107.1 ± 7.0, 110.3 ± 8.6, respectively; the expression of Bax in livers of 24 h,48 h and 72 h subgroups was 5.60±0.Z5, 5.69±0.22, 5.73±0.27, respectively;Bcl-2 protein of 48 h,72 h subgroups was 4.61±0.28, 4.43±0.28, respectively; compared with MSC and G-CSF subgroups the differences were significant (P < 0.05). The serum TNF-α, IL-6, ALT, AST, LDH and CRP de-creased obviously in 24 h/48 h treated subgroups in comparison with control group (P < 0.05). The MSC + G-CSF group showed more significant effects on those biomarkers than MSC or G-CSF alone after 48 hours (P < 0.05). Conclusions Autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation alonewith bone marrow stem cells mobilization can significantly protect livers from severe damage during the course of severe acute panere-atitis, and the probable mechanisms are likely associated with the pathological regeneration, anti-inflammatory ef-fect and apoptosis inhibition of MSC.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a paroxysmal disorder with severely disabling facial pain and thus continues to be a real therapeutic challenge. At present there are few effective drugs for treatment of this pain. The present study was aimed to explore the involvement of BK(Ca) channels and Kv channels in the mechanical allodynia in a rat model of trigeminal neuropathic pain. Here the effectiveness of drug target injection at the trigeminal ganglion through the infraorbital foramen was first evaluated by immunofluorescence and animal behavior test. Trigeminal neuropathic pain model was established by chronic constriction injury of the infraorbital nerve (ION-CCI) in rats. BK(Ca) channel agonist and Kv channel antagonist were administered into the trigeminal ganglion in ION-CCI rats and sham rats by the above target injection method, and the facial mechanical pain threshold was measured. The results showed that the drug could accurately reach the trigeminal ganglion by target injection which was more effective than that by the normal injection around infraorbital foramen. Rats suffered significant mechanical allodynia in the whisker pad of the operated side from 6 d to 42 d after ION-CCI. BK(Ca) channel agonist NS1619 significantly and dose-dependently attenuated the facial mechanical allodynia and increased the facial mechanical pain threshold in ION-CCI rats 15 d after operation. Kv antagonist 4-AP was able to reduce the threshold in ION-CCI rats when facial mechanical threshold was partly recovered and relatively stable on the 35th day after operation. These results suggest that BK(Ca) channel agonist NS1619 and Kv channel antagonist 4-AP can significantly affect the rats' facial mechanical pain threshold after ION-CCI. Activation of BK(Ca) channels may be related to the depression of the primary afferent neurons in trigeminal neuropathic pain pathways. Activation of Kv channels may exert a tonic inhibition on the trigeminal neuropathic pain.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the protective effect of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (tadalafil) on the testis following testicular ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

METHODSEighty-four healthy adult male SD rats were randomly and equally divided into groups A (sham operation), B (testicular torsion + low-dose tadalafil), C (testicular torsion + high-dose tadalafil), and D (testicular torsion + placebo). Models were established in the latter three groups by 7200 torsion of the right testis for 2 hours. The animals in groups A and B were treated by gavage with tadalafil at the dose of 0. 5 mg per kg per day, those in group C at 2 mg per kg per day, and those in group D with saline at the same dose. After 3, 7, and 14 days of treatment, the torsioned testes were harvested for evaluation of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the testis tissue. The pathological changes in the testis were observed under the light microscope.

RESULTSAt 3, 7, and 14 days, the SOD activity was (254.46 +/- 7.43), (278.49 +/- 8.33), and (317.99 +/- 3.31) nU/mg prot in group B, and (277.12 +/- 8.80), (309.40 +/- 2.14), and (320.39 +/- 4.72) nU/mg prot in group C, all obviously higher than in D ([223.21 +/- 4.65], [231.45 +/- 4.16] and [248.28 +/- 5.74] nU/mg prot), while the MDA content was lower in the former two groups than in the latter. At 3 and 7 days, the SOD activity was significantly higher and the MDA level significantly lower in group C than in B (both P < 0.01) , while at 14 days, neither showed any remarkable differences between the two groups (P > 0.05). No obvious histopathological change was observed in the testis tissue of group A. At 3 and 7 days, pathological examination of the testis tissue revealed significant differences in the number of seminiferous epithelial layers, testicular histological score, and seminiferous tubule diameter in group B (P < 0.01), but the three indexes at 14 days in group B and at 7 days in group C exhibited no remarkable differences from those at 14 days in group A.

CONCLUSIONTadalafil can alleviate testicular ischemia-reperfusion injury following testis torsion/detorsion in a time- and dose-dependent manner.

Objective To evaluate 99Tcm-Arg-Glu-Ser (99Tcm-RES) as a potential tumor imaging agent. Methods RES was synthesized using solid phase peptide synthesis. The optimal labeling conditions of RES were determined under different reagents and reacting temperatures using SnC12 as reducing agent.The biodistribution of 99Tcm-RES was studied in nude mice bearing human lung cancer A549. Results The radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-RES was up to 85% and the radiochemical purity was 75% ever after 6 h at room temperature. The tumor uptake of 99Tcm-RES was obvious and the radioactivity ratios of tumor/blood,tumor/heart, tumor/liver, tumor/lung, tumor/spleen and tumor/muscle were 5.31, 1.88, 1.57, 3.58,4. 16 and 5.92, respectively at 6 h after 99Tcm-RES injection. Gamma camera imaging showed that tumor uptake of 99Tcm-RES was negative in rabbits with inflammatory mass but positive in those bearing tumor.The radioactivity ratio of tumor/inflammation was 3.12 at 6 h after injection. Conclusion 99Tcm-RES might possibly become a potential tumor imaging agent.
