Objective To analyze the viral dynamics and clinical significance during the antiviral treatment by a mathematical model.Methods Six chronic hepatitis B patients were evaluated with a kinetic model(Neumann model)during dose of 0.5 mg/d oral entecavir.Blood samples were drawn for HBV DNA measurement at week 0,2,4,12,24.Non-linear modeling was used to fit individual patient data.Results The median effectiveness in blocking viral production was 99.970%(n=6).The median half-life of viral turn-over was 1.6 d(n=6).The median half-life of infected hepatocytes was 21.3 d(n=5).Compared with the other patients,the c(virions are cleared at a rate)、ε(effectiveness)、δ(infected cell are lost at a rate)value of one patient(eg.6)were all lower and the half-life of virus and infected cells were higher,and eg.6 developed viral break-through after 38 weeks of follow-up.Conclusions Viral load decay showed a biphasic pattern during entecavir therapy which can be described with a mathematical model.The model relates processes of viral infection and replication as well as drug efficacy to model parameters.It indicates the prediction of bio-mathematical model during antiviral treatment.

Aim To investigate the preventive effects of misoprostol on osteoporosis in aged ovariectomized(OVX)rats.Methods Female,10-month-old SD rats were ovariectomized(OVX)and,2 months later,were treated with misoprostol or controls for 2 months.The static and dynamic parameters in trabecular bone of the forth lumbar vertebrae(LV4)were examined with histomorphometrical analyses;the fifth lumbar vertebrae(LV5)was used to perform the compression test.Results Compared with the data from the sham-operated rats,the percent trabecular area and elastic modulus significantly decreased in OVX rats.Correspondingly,the bone break load and break stress decreased of post OVX was compared with those of sham-operated rats.Misoprostol increased the percent trabecular area by 21.6% compared with OVX rats,but it couldn't meet the statistical significance.Misoprostol enhanced the break load and elastic modulus compared with OVX rats.Conclusion Misoprostol can improve biomechanics of bone in ovariectomized osteoporosis rats.

Objective To characterize the profile and clinical significance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) quasispecies in patients infected with hepatitis B virus based on the sequence of reverse transcriptase (RT) region.Methods Fifty HBV infected treatment-naive patients were enrolled and divided into three groups,asymptomatic carriers (ASC) group (10 cases),chronic hepatitis B (CHB) group (30 cases) and liver cirrhosis (LC) group (10 cases).HBV genomes were extracted from serum samples.The sequence of RT region was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned into vectors.Fifteen to thirty clones per sample were selected,sequenced and analyzed by bioinformatics software.The mean values among groups were compared by analysis of variance.The median values among groups were compared by nonparametric statistics.The enumeration data were analyzed by x2 test.Results Totally 1221 HBV RT region nucleotide sequences were obtained (152from ASC patients,780 from CHB patients and 289 from LC patients).Genotype distribution showed no difference among three groups.However,the quasispecies complexity showed significant differences among the three groups,LC group >CHB group> ASC group (F=33.400,P<0.05).The quasispecies diversity was LC group >CHB group> ASC group,and that of LC group was significantly different from the other two groups (F=18.070,P<0.05),while there was no significant difference between CHB and ASC patients.Conclusions The HBV isolated from patients in immune clearance phase have higher variability than those isolated from patients in immune tolerance phase.The longer the infection persists and the more severe the disease is,the more variable HBV quasispecies are.

Objectives To explore the effect of transient continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) on β cell function, insulin resistance and vascular endothelial injury in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients and its potential mechanism. Methods Ten patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accepted CSII for two weeks. Intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) and hyperinsulinemia euglycemia clamp test were performed before and after CSII. Serum soluble E-selectin (sE-selectin) was used to evaluate the injury of vascular endothelial cell, while serum high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) and soluble CD_(14) (sCD_(14)) were both used to assess inflammatory condition. Results (1) Compared with those before treatment, the blood glucose levels of IVGTT, the area under the curve of the blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, TC and LDL-C in the patients were decreased after CSII (P < 0. 05 or 0. 01). (2) Compared with those before treatment, the insulin levels of IVGTT (except the fasting insulin), the area under the curve of insulin and acute insulin response were all increased after CSII(P < 0.05 or 0.01). (3) Compared with that before treatment, the glucose infusion ratio in the clamp test [(3.46±1.66)mg·kg~(-1)·min~(-1) increased to (7.14±2.37)mg·kg~(-1)·min~(-1)]and HOMA-β elevated, while HOMA-IR declined (P <0. 05 or 0. 01 in all). (4) Compared with those before treatment, the levels of serum sE-selectin, sCD_(14) and hsCRP were decreased (P < 0. 01, except for hsCRP) . Conclusion Transient intensive insulin therapy in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM is useful to restore 13 cell function, attenuate insulin resistance, repair vascular endothelial injury and improve the disorder of blood sugar and lipid. The mechanism may be related with the inhibition of inflammation in patients.

Objective:To investigate the pharmacokinetics of sugammadex in reversal of rocuronium-induced muscle relaxant residual in infants and young children undergoing daytime surgery.Methods:One hundred and four pediatric patients of either sex, aged 3-36 months, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ, with body mass index of 18.5-28.0 kg/m 2, diagnosed with oblique inguinal hernia and/or hydrocele, scheduled for laparoscopic high ligation of hernia sac and/or high ligation of sphingoid surgery, were included in the study. Intraoperative neuromuscle relaxation was assessed by transdermal stimulation of the ulnar nerve in the wrist using a TOF Guard monitor. Rocuronium 0.9 mg/kg, propofol 3 mg/kg, and sufentanyl 0.5 μg/kg were intravenously injected for anesthesia induction, and propofol 6-8 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused to maintain anesthesia. The pediatric patients were divided into Ⅰgroup and Ⅱ group according to the degree of postoperative neuromuscular block. In group Ⅰ, sugammadex 2 mg/kg was intravenously injected when TOF returned to T 2 recurrence. In group Ⅱ, sugammadex 4 mg/kg was intravenously injected when the single stimulation count was 1 or 2 after tetanic stimulation. At 2 and 10 min after rocuronium administration, at the end of operation, 2 and 10 min after sugammadex administration, and when the children met the standard of leaving the resuscitation room, venous blood samples were collected for determination of plasma concentrations of rocuronium and sugammadex using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using the Pheonix WinNonlin software. The onset of rocuronium and time for recovery of TOF ratio to 90% were recorded. Results:The pharmacokinetics of sugammadex was fitted to the nonlinear mixed-effect satrioventricular model.There was no significant difference in the peak concentration, area under the drug concentration-time curve, elimination half-life, apparent clearance, apparent volume of distribution, mean retention time, and time for TOF ratio returning to 90% between the two groups ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:The pharmacokinetics of sugammadex in reversal of rocuronium-induced muscle relaxant residual is fitted to a nonlinear mixed-effect satrioventricular model, and sugammadex 2 and 4 mg/kg have similar pharmacokinetics in infants and young children undergoing daytime surgery.
