OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the status of related substances in bromhexine hydrochloride tablets and to find the existing problems. METHODS: 95 batches of samples from six domestic manufacturers were tested using statutory methods combined with exploratory research, and the results were evaluated by statistical analysis. RESULTS: The related substances in 95 batches of bromhexine hydrochloride tablets met the requirement of current specification. The total amount was not more than 0.4%. The exploratory studies on domestic tablets, raw materials and tablets produced by original manufacturer revealed that 12 impurities were detected in the samples from six domestic manufacturers, which originated mainly from the raw material. The species and contents of the impurities in domestic samples were different with those in the product of original manufacturer. The structure of the unknown impurity with the highest content was identified by LC-MS/MS, and it was judged to be produced in the manufacturing process of the raw material. CONCLUSION: The related substances in domestic bromhexine hydrochloride tablets are in good control overall and have met the requirement of current statutory specification. The impurities originate mainly from the raw material, so improving the quality of the materials at the source is the critical factor for promoting the quality level of bromhexine hydrochloride tablets.

Purpose:To validate further the importance of r adiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery in early breast cancer. Methods:From 1994.12 to 2001.12,237patients with early stage breast can cer were treated Of these patients,eighty-three received breast-conserving surgery followed by radiotherapy,and one hundred and fifty-four received modified radical mastectom y.All patients with breast-conserving surgery underwent postoperative radiother apy.The range of radiation dose depends on the size,location of tumor,and involv ement of axillaty nodes.Tangential chest wall fields delivered 5000cGy with 8MV -X ray beam in 5 weeks .An additional 1500cGy was delivered in 8 days to tumor bed with electron beam.Among the patients with modified radical mastectomy.only 3 received postoperative radiotherapy.Results:In both the breast-conserving surgery group and modified radical mastectomy gro up,one patient recurred regionally,and one died respectively .In the modified ra dical mastectomy group,there were no regional lymph nodes recurrence,but two of them had distant metastasis.The 5year survival of the two groups were 96.49%and 98.61%,respectively.The breasts are soft and resilient in the breast-conserving surgery group,and breast shape whole after surgery.Conclusions :Breast-conserving surgery plus postoperative radiotherapy in early breast can cer can obtain treatment results similar to modified radical mastectomy,with goo d cosmetic

[Objective]To determine whether discectomy resulted in improvement in low back pain(LBP)associated with lumbar disc herniation. [Method]Two hundred and one consecutive single-level lumbar discectomy were followed up,one hundred patients underwent microendoscopic discectomy(MED group) and 101 patients were treated with conventional open discectomy(COP group).Outcomes were assessed using Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and patient satisfaction.The changes in LBP were compared between the MED group and COP group.The effects of severity of low back pain before surgery on the improvement of back and leg pain were also determined.The mean duration of follow-up was 45 months.[Result]The mean VAS leg pain significantly decreased from 70.02?15.80 before operation to 7.73?12.13 at final follow-up.A significant improvement was also noted in LBP,the mean VAS LBP score was 43.61?26.18 before surgery and 16.89?14.73 at the time of final follow-up.The important improvement in LBP and leg pain was seen in 70.1%～78.1% and 97.0% patients respectively.Improvements in back pain and leg pain were correlated(r= 0.1656,P=0.0304).The rate of important improvement of low back pain was greater in MED group than in COP group.The rate of important improvement in LBP was similar in the patients of a preponderance of LBP,a preponderance leg pain and an equivalence of LBP and leg pain,the patients with a preponderance of LBP showed a lower rate of important improvement in leg pain than the others.[Conclusion]Discectomy for relief of sciatica of lumbar disc herniation provides effective relief of LBP.The MED is more likely effective as a surgery way to relief LBP.Furthermore,it certified that the severe LBP maybe a negatively predictive factor for the follow-up outcome of leg pain.

Objective:To investigate the differences in the expression levels of miR-196a-5p and miR-105-5p in serum of patients with benign and malignant pulmonary nodules and their diagnostic value of malignant pulmonary nodules.Methods:The expression levels of miRNAs in cancer tissues of lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma and paracancerous tissues in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were analyzed, and the miRNAs with significantly different expression levels in cancer tissues and paracancerous tissues were selected as target miRNAs. A total of 72 patients with pulmonary nodules admitted to Weifang People′s Hospital of Shandong Province from June 2019 to July 2020 were selected. The expression levels of target miRNAs in serum of patients with pulmonary nodules were detected by qRT-PCR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the diagnostic value of target miRNAs with tumor markers Cyfra21-1, NSE and CEA in malignant pulmonary nodules.Results:After screening, the target miRNAs were identified as miR-196a-5p and miR-105-5p. Twenty-six patients in the benign pulmonary nodules group and 46 patients in the malignant pulmonary nodules group were included. The levels of serum miR-196a-5p [ M ( P25, P75)] in the benign and malignant nodules group were 0.63 (0.09, 2.15) and 1.93(0.93, 4.97) respectively, and the levels of miR-105-5p in the two groups were 2.03 (0.54, 7.95) and 10.65 (5.94, 18.39) respectively. Compared with the benign pulmonary nodules group, the levels of serum miR-196a-5p and miR-105-5p in the malignant pulmonary nodules group were increased, and there were statistically significant differences ( Z=-3.083, P=0.002; Z=-4.092, P<0.001). The levels of serum Cyfra21-1 in the benign and malignant pulmonary nodules group were 2.48 (1.84, 3.78) and 2.20 (1.47, 3.32) μg/L respectively, the levels of serum NSE in the two groups were 15.58 (12.45, 18.95) and 14.43 (12.07, 17.87) μg/L respectively, and the levels of serum CEA in the two groups were 1.16 (0.55, 2.11) and 1.17 (0.61, 1.68) μg/L respectively. There were no significant differences in serum Cyfra21-1, NSE and CEA between the benign and malignant pulmonary nodules group ( Z=-1.161, P=0.246; Z=-0.305, P=0.761; Z=-0.271, P=0.786). The area under the curve (AUC) of the combination of miR-196a-5p and miR-105-5p for the diagnosis of malignant pulmonary nodules was 0.762 (sensitivity 89.1%, specificity 61.5%), which was higher than the value of the combination of Cyfra21-1, NSE and CEA for the diagnosis of malignant pulmonary nodules (AUC=0.591, sensitivity 58.7%, specificity 64.5%). Conclusion:The combination of serum miR-196a-5p and miR-105-5p can assist in the diagnosis of malignant pulmonary nodules and has higher diagnostic value.
