The enzymatic synthesis of endomorphins were carried out by immobilized papain on sodium alginate-chitosan (IPSAC). The reaction has been carried out in two steps. First, Trp-Phe-NH2 was obtained by Boc-Trp-OH coupling with Phe-NH2 using IPSAC catalyst in microaqueous acetonitrile system with a 27.8 % yielding as determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The catalytic properties of IPSAC were examined by studying the dependence of pH, ionic strength, solution content, reaction temperature,enzyme loading and reaction time over the yields. The results of orthogonal experiments indicated that pH was the most significant factor that influenced this synthesis. Second, Boc-Tyr-Pro-OMe and Trp-Phe-NH2 were suspended into the microaqueous acetonitrile to produce Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2 (endomorphin-1) with a 35.2% yield.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of 650 nm-10.6 μm combined laser in patients with knee Osteoarthritis (OA) and to determine whether the combined laser provides greater pain relief and improved function compared with red light. Methods: Forty-eight patients with knee OA were randomly allocated to two groups (24 per group), receiving 20 rain irradiation with 650 nm -10.6 μm combined laser or red light emitting diode respectively on point Dubi (ST 35) 3 times a week for the first course (2 weeks) and twice a week for the second one (4 weeks). The main outcome measures were WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) scores. In addition, patients' global assessment, adverse effects and validation of patient blinding were analyzed. Results: All the patients completed the first course, but 12 were lost during the second one. Due to the high dropout rate by the second course, only the data acquired from the first course could be analyzed. No differences of general data of patients and WOMAC scores were found in between-group comparison before treatment (P>0.05). The WOMAC scores of patients in both combined laser group and red light group reduced significantly compared to baseline by the end of the first course (P<0.01). There were no significant differences on the reduction rate of WOMAC scores between two groups (P>0.05). Neither the patients' global assessment nor the dropout rate showed statistical differences between two groups (P>0.05). There was no difference between two groups in patients correctly guessing the treatment assignment (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the reduction rate of WOMAC scores and the patients' global assessment between patients who guessed their assignment (P>0.05). Conclusion: Both combined laser and red light irradiation are beneficial to patients with knee OA. But as the statistical indifferences between two groups, the authors can't conclude from this study whether the combined laser is more effective.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the omeprazole off-label use and provide reference for rational drug use in clinic. METHODS:In retrospective survey,1838 omeprazole prescriptions were selected from outpatient department during Jun. 2014 to May 2017 by random number table. According to the latest drug instruction,whether the off-label use or not was determined. Off-label use was determined by reviewing domestic and foreign guidelines,literatures and Micromedex database. RESULTS:Among 1838 pre-scriptions,there were 1750 prescriptions of off-label drug use (95.21%),involving 13 items and 3 types of off-label drug use. Main type of off-label drug use was over-indication medication,involving 1747 prescriptions (96.47%). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of off-label drug use between digestive department and non-digestive department or among physicians at different levels(P>0.05). Among 13 items of off-label drug use,7 items were supported by evidence-based medicine evidence of domestic and foreign guideline,expert consensus/suggestion or literature reports,etc.;among which 1 item of off-label drug use were included in Micromedex grading system and other 6 items had no evidence-based medicine evidence. CONCLUSIONS:The phenomenon of omeprazole off-label use is widespread in outpatient department of the hospital,and some off-label drug use are sup-ported by evidences. There are differences in the quality of those evidences. It is suggested to standardize the off-label drug use to avoid legal risks and guarantee the safety of drug use for patients.

Objective:To construct a prediction model for difficult tracheal intubation in the patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods:A total of 324 patients with OSAHS undergoing surgery with general anesthesia, admitted to our hospital from June 2019 to June 2021, were included in model group, and 175 patients with OSAHS undergoing surgery with general anesthesia, admitted from July 2021 to July 2022, were selected and served as validation group. The patients in model group were divided into occurrence group and non-occurrence group according to whether difficult tracheal intubation occurred. Logistic regression was used to construct the prediction model, and R4.2.1 software was used to draw the risk nomogram and calibration curve. The predictive accuracy of the model was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:Body mass index (BMI), sagittal minimum cross-sectional area, horizontal minimum cross-sectional area and mandibular distance were risk factors for difficult tracheal intubation in OSAHS patients ( P<0.05). A prediction model was developed using the above factors: Logit P=33.726+ 1.411×BMI score-0.014×sagittal airway minimum cross-sectional area-0.013×airway horizontal minimum cross-sectional area-0.312× mandibular distance. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.846, Youden index 0.585, sensitivity 0.831, specificity 0.755, and the accuracy 0.889 (Hosmer-Lemeshow test χ2=9.24, P=0.322) in model group. The area under the external validation curve was 0.802, Youden index 0.545, sensitivity 0.636, specificity 0.908, and the accuracy 0.893 (Hosmer-Lemeshow test χ2=10.24, P=0.287) in validation group. Conclusions:The prediction model based on BMI, sagittal minimum cross-sectional area of airway, horizontal minimum cross-sectional area of airway and mandibular distance has a high value in predicting the risk of difficult tracheal intubation in patients with OSAHS.
