BACKGROUND:Alcohol has become pathogenic factors of avascular necrosis, and the alcohol induced
abnormal lipid metabolism in bone marrow may be the important reason for the onset of avascular necrosis, but the mechanism is not clear yet.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the changes of structure and function of fat cel s under the action of alcohol, in order to analyze the pathogenesis of alcoholic femoral head necrosis.
METHODS:Primary adipocytes in vitro culture technique was used to obtain rabbit femoral head intramedul ary adipose tissue, and then the fat cel s were separated, and the phenotype was identified with oil red O staining. The passaged stable intramedul ary fat cel s were col ected. Coverslip was cut into 1 cm × 1 cm in size, and placed in the 24-wel culture plate before planting. The cel s were randomly divided into alcohol group and control group, 24 holes (each hole for a sample) in each group. The control group was without alcohol, while the alcohol group was added with 0.15 mol/L alcohol. At 4, 6, 8 and 10 days, the culture medium was replaced. Medium was changed and no longer adding alcohol, and then cultured for 10 days. When the culture terminated, the coverslip was removed for oil red O staining. Final y, the morphology and the number of the fat cel s were observed under light
microscope.
RESUTLS AND CONCLUSION:With time prolonging, the number of fat cel s in the alcohol group was significantly more than that in the control group (P<0.001). The lipid droplets in the two groups were gradual y increased and enlarged, but more significant in the alcohol group. The number of intramedul ary fat cel s in the alcohol group after cultured for 4, 6, 8 and 10 days was respectively (200.90±24.60), (1 102.30±76.73), (1 160.30±28.37) and (1 199.70±44.74)/cm2;the
number of intramedul ary fat cel s in the control group was respectively (99.80±10.82), (0.40±94.71), (1 000.20± 41.85) and (1 059.80±26.79)/cm2, the number of fat cel s increased with the time of alcohol influence. Alcohol can promote the intramedul ary fat cel s to increase and enlarge, and this may be the main reason for femoral head necrosis, as long-term alcoholism can lead to bone marrow fat tissue increasing, intraosseous pressure increasing and perfusion reducing, thus resulting ischemia.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of microscopic myringoplasty versus endoscopic myringoplasty in the treatment of tympanic membrane perforation caused by chronic suppurative otitis media. Methods:The clinical data of 91 patients with tympanic membrane perforation caused by chronic suppurative otitis media who received treatment in Jiaxing Second Hospital, China between February 2017 and March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into a control group ( n = 45) and an observation group ( n = 46) according to different surgery methods. The control group was given microscopic tympanoplasty, while the observation group was given endoscopic tympanoplasty under the otoendoscope. Results:Blood loss in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(7.2 ± 2.0) mL vs. (13.7 ± 3.1) mL, t = 11.912, P < 0.001]. Operation time in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(59.4 ± 5.4) min vs. (91.5 ± 11.2) min, t = 17.474, P < 0.001]. Postoperative pain score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(2.9 ± 0.7) points vs. (4.8 ± 1.3) points, t = 8.707, P < 0.001]. Hospital stay in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(4.3 ± 1.0) d vs. (6.5 ± 1.5) d, t = 8.249, P < 0.001]. Pure tone hearing thresholds at 1, 2 and 4 kHz frequencies in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). Patient satisfaction regarding the aesthetic effect of the surgical incision in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [97.8% (45/46) vs. 77.8% (35/45), χ2 = 8.604, P = 0.003]. Conclusion:Endoscopic myringoplasty has the advantages including shorter operation time, less blood loss, lower degree of pain, better hearing improvement and higher patient satisfaction over microscopic myringoplasty in the treatment of tympanic membrane perforation caused by chronic suppurative otitis media.

Objective To develop an LC-MS/MS method for determining the concentration of wogonin in dog plasma and investigate the pharmacokinetics and bioavailability by different administrations of wogonin in Beagle's dogs. Methods LC-MS/MS was employed in determining the concentration of wogonin with the selected ion monitoring model after liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate of dog plasma samples. The lower limit of quantification was 0.105 μg/L. Target ions were at m/z 285.0→270.0 for wogonin and 373.3→305.3 for finasteride. In a randomized, self-control, and cross-over study, six male Beagle's dogs were treated with different administration methods in three test periods. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated with DAS software (Ver. 2.0). Results The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.105-107.36 μg/L for wogonin in dog plasma samples. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of ig administration (native drug of 15 mg/kg and solution preparation of 5 mg/kg) and iv route were as follows: Cmax (2.5 ± 1.1), (7.9 ± 3.3), and (6838.7 ± 1322.1) μg/L, tmax (0.7 ± 0.3) and (0.3 ± 0.2) h for the both former, AUC0-1 (7.1 ± 2.0), (21.0 ± 3.2), and (629.7 ±111.8) μg·h/L. The absolute bioavailability of native and solution of wogonin were (0.59 ± 0.35)% and (3.65 ± 2.00)%, respectively. Conclusion The validated method is convenient, sensitive, and specific, and the improvement of wogonin solubility could remarkably increase the absolute bioavailability.

BACKGROUND:Related studies have showed that poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide can effectively package antisense oligonucleotides, smal interfering RNA, microRNA. Poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide can better protect them against the destruction of the enzymes in vivo and have slow the drug release. Therefore, the number of drug administration can be reduced to achieve a long-term and effective therapeutic effect. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To prepare poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-CXCR4-miRNA-nano-particles and to research the characteristics of the prepared nanoparticles. ＜br> METHODS:Poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-CXCR4-miRNA nanoparticles were prepared by double emulsion-evaporation process. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was utilized for measurement of encapsulation efficiency and drug-loading rate, observing the shape of nanoparticles by transmission electron microscope, and measuring the size and distribution of nanoparticles by laser particle size analyzer. Sustained-release characteristics of nanoparticle suspension were observed in phosphate buffer. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The prepared nanoparticles were spherical-shaped, smooth, evently distributed and inadhesive. The particle size was mainly distributed within 143-502 nm, with an average diameter of 280 nm. The average drug loading was (0.515±0.023)%, the average encapsulation ratio was 50.2%and difference between batches was smal . The nanoparticles could slowly release in vitro and the process initial y experienced the fast-release stage, and then reached a basical y stable platform stage at day 14. These finding indicate that the process to prepare poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide CXCR4-miRNA-nanoparticles by double emulsion-evaporation is simple. The prepared nanoparticles are wel targeted and exhibit sustained-release effects.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of conversion from calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) to sirolimus (SRL) as major immunosuppressive therapy in lung transplant recipients.Method Retrospective analyses were conducted for the clinical data of all the patients undergoing lung transplantation in Wuxi People's Hospital between January 2011 and December 2014.Sixteen were given conversion treatment with Sirolimus in the postoperative irnmunosuppressive therapy.We analyzed the opportunity and reasons in the conversion treatment,and the safety,effectiveness and complications of the conversion treatment.Result The follow-up period was 8 to 25 months,and the median time of conversion was 6 months after operation (2-18 months).The indications of conversion concluded:malignant tumor (n =8),renal dysfunction (n =5),lymphangioleiomyomatosis (n =1) and intractable diarrhea caused by CNIs (n =2).Four cases suffered from interstitial pneumonitis associated with Sirolimus and one case suffered from spontaneous pneumothorax,and they all conversed back to CNIs.In those patients,cancer recurrence occurred in 4 cases (of them,there were 3 deaths),and 3 patients developed chronic rejection.Those recipients receiving the conversion treatment due to renal dysfunction showed recovery of renal function to some extent.Conclusion It's effective and safe to converse the immunosuppressive therapy based on Sirolimus.Sirolimus should be reduced or withdrawn when interstitial pneumonitis associated with Sirolimus occurred.
