OBJECTIVE:To prepare dexibuprofen sustained-release pellets,and to analyze the drug release behavior in vitro. METHODS:Centrifugal granulation powder layering-eudragit dispersion coating method was used to prepare dexibuprofen sus-tained-release pellets using 3%HPMC as adhesive agent. The formula of the pellets was optimized by orthogonal test with weight ra-tio of sucrose to dexibuprofen,weight ratio of HPMC to Eudragit NE30D and coating weight as factors,using 1,4 and 10 h accu-mulated release rate (Q) as index. The release of the drug from the pellets was analyzed. RESULTS:The optimized formulation was that the proportion of sucrose to drug was 1:10,the weight ratio of HPMC to Eudragit NE30D was 1.5:1,the increased weight of coating material was 8%. Q1 h,Q4 h and Q10 h of prepared pellets were 21%,57% and 89%,respectively(n=3). The co-rrelation coefficient of zero-order,one-order and Higuchi equation release model were 0.956 6,0.989 9,0.996 5. CONCLUSIONS:Prepared pellets show good sustained-release effect in vitro. Drug release of pellets is more in accordance with Higuchi equation.

A novel raw-starch-digesting glucoamylase producer,Rhizopus sp.W-08,was used in a novel fermentation system of solid-state followed by submerged,and high enzyme activity of 72 IU/mL was obtained.In the following simultaneous saccharification and fermentation process, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Z-06 directly converted raw corn flour to ethanol with the concentration of 21 % (V/V) at 30℃ after 48h.The conversion efficiency of raw corn flour to ethanol was 94.5 % of the theoretical ethanol yield.

Objective To investigate the effects of different tidal volume mechanical ventilation on pulmonary function and inflammatory factors in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery.Methods 45 patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery without lung disease,ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ,aged 20-45 years old,weight 45-65 kg,operation time 2-3 hours,were randomly divided into A,B,C three groups,15 cases in each group.Mechanical ventilation with different tidal volume of the three groups,A group,B group and C group were 8mL/kg,9mL/kg,10mL/kg.Blood gas analysis was performed before anesthesia (T0),30 minutes (T1),(T2),PA-aDO2 (60 minutes) (T3),and 120 min (T4),respectively,and the peak airway pressure and mean pressure were recorded.IL-6,TNF-α and IL-10 levels in plasma by radial artery blood sampling were simnultaneously determined.Results Comnpared with A group,the concentrations of Ppeak and Pmean were increased in B group at T1-T4 (t =5.13,4.78,6.54,5.32 and t =7.54,4.88,5.37,4.95;all P ＜ 0.05),the concentration of Ppeak and Pmean in C group at T1-T4 increased (t =7.76,8.87,7.23,8.99 and t =6.42,7.38,7.62,9.86;all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with B group,the concentrations of Ppeak and Pmean were increased in C group at T1-T4 (t =4.76,5.87,4.23,3.99 and t =4.76,3.99,6.06,4.52;all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with A group,the A-aDO2 values of B group and C group were increased at T1,T2,T3 and T4 (t =5.32,5.48,4.88,5.69 and t =7.85,7.32,8.45,6.67;all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with B group at the same time point,the A-aDO2 value of C group increased at four times of T1-T4 (t =5.62,4.38,6.94,4.22,P ＜0.05).Compared with group A,the concentration of A-aDO2 in C group was higher than that in B group at the same time point (t =4.45,4.87,5.32,4.79 and t =7.68,7.59,7.44,8.38;all P ＜ 0.05).The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in C group were significantly higher than those in the control group (t =4.78,5.56,7.62,8.03 and t =3.98,4.52,5.46,6.23;all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with T0,IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations AT T2-T4 in A group had no statistically significant differences (all P ＞ 0.05).Compared with B group,the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in C group were significantly higher (t =4.58,4.99,6.53,4.77 and t =5.62,7.89,6.43,4.52;all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with T0,IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations at T2-T4 in A group had no statistically significant differences (all P ＞0.05).There was no significant difference in IL-10 concentration among the thrce groups.Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery according to the end tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PetCO2) ventilation frequency,8 mL/kg tidal volume mechanical ventilation has no effect on the IL-6,TNF-alpha,IL-10 and other inflammatory factors,mechanical ventilation tidal volume is more appropriate.

Tumor cells leads to enhanced glucose uptake and the conversion of a larger fraction of pyruvate into lactate even under the circumstance of abundant oxygen. This phenomenon of aerobic glycolysis is known as the Warburg effect. Lactic acid, as an important tool for tumor cells to modify the tumor microenvironment, promotes the process of tumor invasion and metastasis, and contributes to tumor development by inducing and recruiting immunosuppression-related cells and molecules. Lactic acid could efflux out of the cancer cells via the monocarboxylate transporters to prevent intracellular acidification. Lactate can inhibit the cytolytic activity of T cells and natural killer (NK) cells, promoting the differentiation of tolerogenic interleukin 10 (IL-10)-producing dendritic cells. Moreover, the lactate-derived lactylation of histone lysine residues can promote macrophage polarization toward the M2-like phenotype, suppressing the immune response within the tumor microenvironment. In this review, we discuss the role of lactate as an immunosuppressor molecule that contributes to tumor evasion from the aspects of lactic acid metabolism and its effect on immune cells. And we explore the possibility of targeting potential targets in lactate metabolism for tumor treatment. At last, we proposed a tumor immunotherapy strategy by inhibiting the pathway of aerobic glycolysis and proteins associated with the production and transport of lactic acid.

This study is to compare the effects of kaempferide and anhydroicaritin on biomineralization of rat osteoblasts (ROB) in vitro. Calvarias were dissected aseptically from newborn SD rats, the osteoblasts were obtained by enzyme digestion and were cultured in MEM containing 10% FBS. The medium was changed every three days, and serial subculture was performed when cells covered with 90% of the dish. Kaempferide and anhydroicaritin were separately added with final concentrations of 1 x 10(-4), 1 x 10(-5), 1 x 10(-6) and 1 x 10(-7) mol x L(-1) under the conditions of osteogenic differentiation. The proliferation was measured by MTT, and the optimal concentration was detected by the ALP activity at the 9th day after osteogenic induction culture. The osteogenic indexes of kaempferide, anhydroicaritin and control group with the optimal concentration were compared. The result showed that the anhydroicaritin at concentration of 1 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1) had significantly promoted the activity of ALP, calcium content and osteocalcin content, increased the number of CFU-F(ALP) and mineralized nodules, enhanced the mRNA level of BMP-2, OSX and Runx-2, which are key genes of osteogenic differentiation, and raised the protein content of collagen-I. However, the kaempferide group had not significantly represented the ability that promoted osteogenic differentiation of ROB. The difference of osteogenic differentiation on ROB between kaempferide and anhydroicaritin was caused by the prenyl group on C-8 of icariin.

This study is to investigate effects of genistein on rat femoral bone metabolic in vitro. Rat femoral tissues was isolated and randomly divided into two groups including control group and genistein (1 x 10(-5) mol x(-1)) group. Determinations of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium content and osteoprotegerin (OPG), type I-collagen (Collagen-I), RANKL, Runx-2 and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2) mRNA expression were done by real-time PCR. The results showed that 1 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1) genistein could increase the activity of ALP and contents of Ca, regulate bone metabolism activity of OPG, RANKL, BMP-2, Collagen-I and Runx-2 mRNA expression level. Genistein can significantly modulate bone metabolism related gene expression level of rat femoral tissue in vitro, and can increase calcium content and the activity of ALP.

Objective To investigate the optimal time for double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB).Methods Data of 78 patients with OGIB who underwent DBE from January 2009 to November 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.They were classified into two groups:emergency DBE and non-emergency DBE.The demographic and clinical features and outcomes of DBE,the time of examination and complications were compared.Results The overall diagnostic yield of DBE was 48 lesions (61.54 ％).The overall diagnostic yield of emergency DBE group was 77.14％,which was significantly higher than that in non-emergency DBE group (48.83％) (P =0.019).The time of examination in emergency group was shorter than that of non-emergency group with significant difference (P =0.031).Conclusion Emergency DBE takes less time and yields a higher rate of detection.Patients withOGIB should receive DBE as soon as possible.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic metal stent implantation for afferent limb obstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy(PD). Methods A retrospective analysis of 5 patients with afferent limb obstruction after PD treated by endoscopic metal stent implantation was performed.Data of each patient was reviewed including the records of the endoscopic procedure,the complications and the clinical outcomes. Results All the metal stents were implanted successfully in the 5 patients. The abdominal disten-sion and cholangeitis were well relieved in all the patients. The liver function improved in all the patients in 3 to 5 days.No abdominal discomfort,bleeding,perforation,or stent dislocation occurred.CT scan showed that all stents were well expanded.The survival time of the 5 patients were 3 to 8 months,and 4. 6 months on av-erage. There was no recurrence of afferent limb obstruction. Conclusion For afferent limb obstruction after PD,endoscopic metal stent implantation is effective in relieving obstruction,the symptoms,and improving the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the incidence of electrocoagulation syndrome after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in the colorectal laterally spreading tumors (LST) and the risk factors. Methods Data of 51 patients with coloretral LST,treated with ESD from January 2010 to May 2014 at Shengjing hospital affiliated to China Medical University,were reviewed.The incidence of electrocoagulation syndrome was analyzed and logistic regression was used to evaluate risk.Results The incidence of electro-coagulation syndrome was 9.8%(5 /51).The incidence of tumors in the rectal area(7.1%,2 /28)was lower than that of the left half colon (12.5%,1 /8),and the right colon (13.3%,2 /15).Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for the development of electrocoagulation syndrome were LST located in non-rectum area (OR =1.655,P <1.655),lesion size larger than 25 mm (OR =1.028, P <0.05),the operation time longer than 129 min (OR =1.016,P <0.05),age older than 62 year old (OR =0.987,P <0.05).Conclusion For the patients aged over 62 year old,lesion size larger than 25 mm,the operation time longer than 129 min and LST located outside the rectum,the mucous membrane should be separated from the muscularis propria in the ESD procedure to reduce electrocoagulation time as much as possible. In the postoperative period,patients need fasting,fluid replacement support,and prevention of post endoscopic submucosal dissection electrocoagulation syndrome (PEECS).
