Tumor 2007;27(6):433-436
Objective: To explore the preventive efficacy of local injection of hyaluronidase and topical administration of Hirudoid cream against skin damage caused by vinorelbine extravasation in rats. Methods: Vinorelbine was iv infused into the hinder limbs of SD rats to establish the extravasation model. The 48 rats were randomly divided into 6 groups. The model group received no treatment. The other five groups were given local injection of hyaluronidase, topical administration of Hirudoid cream, local injection of hyaluronidase plus topical administration of Hirudoid cream, local injection of normal saline (NS), or topical administration of normal saline, respectively. The lesion area and the healing time were observed and recorded on d 1, d 4, d 8, d 12, d 18, d 24, and d 30. Results: The lesions were cured by local injection of hyaluronidase on d 30. The lesion area were significantly reduced in hyaluronidase group compared with that in topical Hirudoid cream group, combined therapy group, local NS injection group, topical NS administration group, and the model group on d 1, d 4, d 8, d 12, d 18 and d 24 (P < 0.05). The healing time was significantly shorter in hyaluronidase group than that in other 5 groups [(21.9 ± 3.0) d vs (28.8 ± 3.5) d, (28.0 ± 2.9) d, (28.6 ± 4.1) d, (29.8 ± 2.6) d, and (30. 6 ± 3.0) d, P < 0.01]. Conclusion: Local injection of hyaluronidase is effective for skin damage caused by vinorelbine extravasation, but topical administration of Hirudoid cream is ineffective and combined therapy can not further improve the efficacy of hyaluronidase monotherapy.

Objective: To study the effect of early rehabilitation on motor function of upper and lower extremities and activities of daily living(ADL) in patients with hemiplegia after stroke; and to observe whether motor function recovery of upper and lower extremities is different. Method: 96 patients were randomly divided into two groups, rehabilitation group (48 cases) and control group(48 cases). Prospective method was used in this study. Patients in the rehabilitation group were given clinical treatment and regular rehabilitation training, while those in control group were given clinical treatment and unguided self- training. The evaluation was done in pre- treatment and post- treatment(6- 8 weeks) respectively.Motor function was assessed in Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA), ADL assessed in Barthel Index. Result: The motor scores (measured by FMA) and ADL scores (measured by Barthel index) in the two groups were improved after 6-8 weeks treatment, but there was a significant difference between the two groups, the scores in the rehabilitation group were obviously superior to those in the control group (P < 0.01 ). The mean of the Fugl-Meyer Scale (transferred to percentage of maximal motor scores) of the lower extremities was higher than that of the upper extremities pre-and post-treatment (P<0.01). However, the improvement degree of FMA scores between upper and lower extremity had no statistical difference (P>0.05). Conclusion:Early rehabilitation training of the patients with stroke hemiplegia may obviously improve motor function of the limbs and raise ADL scores. However, the degree of improvement in upper and lower extremity is similar in the first two months after early training.

Objective To analyze the causative of damaged bioprosthetic valves implanted in 41 patients (with total 47 valves) over one year. Methods From June 1993 to June 2004,re-replacement of valves was performed in 41 patients with dysfunctional bioprosthetic valves. The interval between the two operations was 1~16 years [mean (9.7?4.1) years]. The 47 dysfunctional bioprosthetic valves were carefully observed and pathologically examined. Results Of the 47 valves, no valve frame was damaged; tear or perforation existed in 42 valves (89.3%); calcification was found in 35 valves (74.5%), with fibrosis; excrescence and thrombus coexisted in 2. Heavily damaged ones were sent for pathological examination, and infiltration of abundant phagocytes and monocytes was found. Conclusion Early damages were mainly tear or rupture, while late damages were compound outcomes of multiple damaging factors such as calcification, rupture, and tear.

Objective:A study was conducted to investigate the effect of Prunella vulgaris sulfated polysaccharide (PVSP) on the expression of angiogenic growth factors (bFGF, VEGF, and IL-8) and angiogenesis in hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods:ELISA as-say was used to observe the effects of PVSP and the negative control drug Lentinan (LNT, non-sulfate radical drug) on secretions of the angiogenic growth factors, namely, bFGF, VEGF, and IL-8, in HepG2 cells in vitro. In an in vivo experiment, the microvessel density in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue sections treated with PVSP and LNT was calculated, analyzed, and compared with the microvessel den-sity in the phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) control. Results:Compared with the PBS control group, PVSP at 200μg/mL inhibited bF-GF secretion (P<0.01), whereas LNT failed to affect bFGF secretion. Neither PVSP nor LNT affected the secretions of VEGF and IL-8. In vivo results showed that PVSP at 200 mg/kg reduced the microvessel density in tumor tissue sections (P=0.03), whereas LNT at 10 mg/kg failed to affect microvessel density. Conclusion:Inhibition of bFGF secretion is a probable mechanism underlying the preven-tive effect of PVSP on hepatocellular carcinoma angiogenesis.
