Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2001;30(1):46-49
The cytotoxic effect and antitumor effect of paclitaxel liposome were studied by using MTT assay method in vitro and in vivo antitumor test. The inhibitory rate of paclitaxel liposome on human ovarian cancer cell COC1 was 78.48 %, 84.90 %, 93.53 % respectively at the concentrations of 22.5 μg/ml, 45 μg/ml, 90 μg/ml respectively. Under the doses of 5 mg/(kg*d) and 10 mg/(kg*d) for 8 days, the inhibitory rate of paclitaxel liposome against xenograft of solid Ehrlich tumor in mice was 32.47 % and 54.63 % respectively (P<0.01). The weight change rate of the mice was 22.11 % and 21.16 % respectively. It was suggested that paclitaxel liposome possessed in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities. The toxicity of liposomal paclitaxel was lower than that of free paclitaxel.

AIM To explore effects of policosanol on depressing cholesterol in hyperlipidemia rats and the correlated biochemistry mechanism. METHODS The rats were randomly divided into normal control, policosanol 4 mg·kg~(-1) prevention, hyperlipidemia model, policosanol 4, 6 and 8 mg·kg~(-1) and lovastatin positive control groups. The later 5 group rats were fed with high-cholesterol diets for 4 weeks in order to make hyperlipidemia model and beginning from the 5th week, in addition to the normal control and model groups, other groups were ig given policosanol or lovastatin once a day for 6 weeks, respectively, and policosanol protection group rats were ig given with policosanol 4 mg·kg~(-1) once a day for 10 weeks, together with high-cholesterol diets everyday. Total cholesterol(TC), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations in the serum and fecal bile acid (FBA) in the exrement were determined by auto-biochemistry analyzer. The activity of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase in hepatocellular microsomes was detected by ultraviolet spectrophotometric analysis and activity of low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) in peripheral blood lymphocyte was detected by fluorescence labelled integrator method. RESULTS Compared with hyperlipemia model group, the levels of TC decreased (39.1%-46.4%), LDL-C decreased (66.6%-80.7%), and FBA increased (9.7%-19.0%), the activity of HMG-CoA reductase decreased (13.8%-23.6%), and activity of LDL-R increased (27.5%-129.6%) in policosanol prevention, policosanol 4, 6 and 8 mg·kg~(-1) and lovastatin groups, respectively; HDL-C increased (12.2%-16.7%) in policosanol prevention and policosanol 8 mg·kg~(-1) groups; TG decreased in lovastatin group. CONCLUSION Policosanol has significant effects on decreasing cholesterol. The decreasing cholesterol mechanism should include: ① increasing FBA excretion; ② decreasing the activity of HMG-CoA reductase; ③ increasing activity of LDL-R.

Objective To integrate nurses' humanistic quality into professional nursing training, in order to improve humanistic quality and nursing quality. Methods Nurses with working years within 6 years in our hospital were chosen from May, 2009 to May, 2010. And through non-professional reading, specified materials reading, multimedia lectures, particularly the refining and essence of reading reports, humanities knowledge and humanistic care consciousness was melted into personal morality, words, deeds and cultivation. Investigation about satisfaction degree was carried out among patients before and after the training. Results Satisfaction degree of patients increased after training, so did the satisfaction degree of nurses to reading reports. Conclusions To integrate nurses' humanistic quality into professional nursing training can improve humanistic quality of nurses and nursing quality. Nurses' professional image will be increasingly standard, overall quality and service quality can be improved, and thought of dedicated service for patients will be consolidated.

Objective To study the value and feasibility of temporary emergency bedside cardiac pacing. Method Two hundred patients with severe witnessed bradycardia were treated with temporary emergency cardiac pacing. We treated 130 patients with emergency bedside pacing and 70 patients with x-ray-guided pacing. Results Emergency bedside pacing was successful in 127 patients except three patients and no postoperative complications occurred. X-ray-guided pacing was successful in all 70 patients but three patients experienced complications: one deep venous thrombosis and two cardiac tamponades due to myocardial perforation. The pacing electrodes were more likely to be displaced in X-ray-guided pacing than in emergency bedside pacing (six cases versus three cases) . The door-to-operation time was 30-90 min for x-ray-guided cardiac pacing and 5-15 min for emergency bedside pacing. Needle-to-pacing times were similar for both procedures (3.5 ± 1.5 min for x-ray guided pacing versus 4± 2.5 min for bedside pacing). Conclusions Temporary emergency bedside cardiac pacing is a rapid, efficient and safe procedure for treating severe witnessed bradycardia. The technique is easily mastered and may prove lifesaving in an emergency.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of Astragaloside Ⅳ(ASⅣ)on cardiomyocytes against hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)-induced injury.Methods Cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were divided into control group;0.1%DMSO solven group;H2O2 group,in which cells were treated with H2O2( 0.2 mmol?L-1) for 24 h;ASⅣ+H2O2 groups,in which cells were pretreated with ASⅣ(with final concentration of 3,10,30 mg?L-1) for 30 min before H2O2 treatment;Astragaloside injection group(150 g?L-1).Morphological changes of myocardial cells damaged for 24 h by 0.2 mmol?L-1 H2O2 under the inverted microscope were observed.The cardiomyocyte viability was analysed by MTT assay;lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) activity,superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity,malonaldehyde(MDA) content and nitric oxide(NO) content were detected in culture media.Results Most of cells in H2O2 group were crenulated,the nucleus were dim and the pseudopodia were disappeared.The degrees of lesion in ASⅣ(3,10,30 mg?L-1) groups were lessened obviously,the nucleus were bright and the the pseudopodia were thinned slightly.Cardiomyocyte viabilities in ASⅣ(3,10,30 mg?L-1) groups were higher than that in H2O2 group(P

Aim To identify the effect of policosanol on LDL-R activity.Methods In vitro cell culture experiments conventional methods were used to observe the direct effect of policosanol on mononuclear cells LDL-R.In vivo experiments self-control and negative-control group design methods were used to observe the effect of policosanol on LDL-R activity in the patients with hypercholesterolemia.LDL-R activity was analysed by fluorescence flow cytometry and labeled by the fluorescent reagent DiI.Results Policosanol 5~20 mg?L-1 obviously activated the activity of LDL-R in human mononuclear cells,policosanol levels and the activity of LDL-R in human mononuclear cells showed significantly dose-effect relationship in vitro study.These tendency could also be seen in the patients with hypercholesterolemia after policosanol treatment for four weeks in vivo study.As the increasing of policosanol dose,the activity of LDL-R in human mononuclear cells remarkably increased in the patients with hypercholesterolemia Conclusions Policosanol up-regulates the activity of the LDL-R in the mononuclear cells and reduce cholesterol level in the body.Policosanol reduce lipids through multiple ways including LDL-R.
