OBJECTIVE:To evaluate clinical pharmacodynamics between fast-disintegrating oral nitroglycerin tablets and commercial tablets.METHODS:Fast-disintegrating oral nitroglycerin tablets with the same content as commercial tablets were prepared,the effects of two kinds of tablets on diastolic blood pressure,heart rate of the healthy volunteers were observed and compared.RESULTS:Fast-disintegrating oral nitroglycerin tablets showed more rapid drug absorption than the commercial tablets3minutes after administration,there was remarkable difference between them(P

Objective To investigate the distribution features of upper limb involved nerves in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).Methods The sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV)and amplitude(SNAP),motor nerve conduction velocity(MCV)and amplitude(CAMP)of median,ulnar and radial nerves were examined in 98 DPN patients (DPN group) and 32 normal controls(NC group).The distributive ferture of involved upper limb nerves in DNP patients were analysed.Results (1) Comparing to NC group,the SCV and MCV of median,ulnar and radial nerves in DPN group were significantly slower (P

Objective To observe the effect of 6% hydroxyethylstarch (130/0.4) on hemorheology in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by shock before and after early fluid resuscitation. Methods 72 AMI patients complicated by shock were randomly divided into two groups , namely groupⅠwith 6%hydroxyethylstarch (130/0.4) for early liquid resuscitation and group Ⅱwith balanced salt (1.86% sodium lactate solution and compound sodium chloride solution for a ratio of 1∶2 ) for liquid recovery; and another 36 subjects was assigned to normal control group (groupⅢ). The hemorheological indices were detected after admission and 2 to 3 hours after fluid resuscitation in groupsⅠandⅡ. Results After fluid resuscitation , high-and low-shear viscosity , red cell aggregation index, hematocrit, fibrinogen, and platelet aggregation rate decreased in groupⅠand groupⅡ, with significant statistical differences (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01). Conclusions 6% hydroxyethylstarch (130/0.4) can effectively improve abnormal hemorheology in patients with AMI complicated by shock.

Objective To compare the clinical effect of radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging(SPECT)and multilayer spiral CT coronary artery imaging(MSCT) in the diagnosis of coronsry artery disease(CHD).Methods The clinical data of 36 patients suspected with CHD and routine inspection of SPECT and MSCT were retrospectively analyzed.The diagnostic effects of two methods were compared.Results The sensitivity,specificity and the rate of accuracy of SPECT was 89.47％,94.12％,and 91.67％,respectively,while the sensitivity,specificity and the rate of accuracy of MSCT was 84.21％,94.12％,and 88.89％,respectively.There were no obvious difference in two groups (x2 =1.265,1.668,2.005,1.526,1.889,all P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion There was a high degree consistency on the diagnosis of CHD between SPECT and MSCT.In the application,combined with the two methods could improve the diagnosis of CHD.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of different surgical methods in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with negative cervical lymph nodes (cN0) and to provide theoretical basis for the selection of surgical procedures. Methods:A total of 225 PTC cN0 patients were selected and divided into two groups according to the operation method. Only 110 patients underwent total thy-roidectomy, whereas the 115 cases in the lobectomy group underwent ipsilateral lobectomy and isthmus resection. Al patients were treated with ipsilateral central lymph node dissection. We analyzed both groups of patients in terms of surgery, hospitalization, pathological characteristics, complications, follow-up, and recurrence. Results:(1) The length of incision, blood loss, operation time, and length of stay were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). (2) In the total resection group, the number of multiple foci of the cancer cases was significantly more than that of the lobectomy patients (P<0.05). The average tumor diameter in both groups were not significantly different (P>0.05). Between the two groups, the number of central lymph node dissection and total lymph node metastasis, and the number of cases with central lymph node metastasis were not significantly different (P>0.05). Likewise, the incidence rates of mistakenly cut parathyroid, extremely low blood calcium levels, temporary larynx return nerve paralysis, and superior laryngeal nerve injury were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). No permanent hypocalcemia or permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury occurred. (3) All patients were followed up for 2-4.5 years. No recurrent cases were reported in the total resection group. For the lobectomy group, 8 patients with adenocarcinoma had contralateral tumor metastasis and underwent contralateral lobe resection, whereas 4 patients suffered from ipsilateral neck lymph node metastasis at the side area and underwent functional lymph node clearance. Significant differences were noted in the metastasis and recurrence rates between the two groups of patients (P<0.05). No deaths were reported during the follow-up period. Conclusion:For PTC cN0 patients, total thyroidectomy with joint ipsilateral central lymph node clearance can reduce the residual tumor, metastasis, and risk of recurrence,compared with surgery limited to the affected lobe and isthmus. Postoperative complications were not significantly increased.

Objective To explore the effect of hypoxia-ischemia(HI)on expression of second mitochondria-derived activator of caspase proteinc(Smac)in brain tissue of neonatal rats.Methods All neonatal rats were divided randomly into HI group,pseudo-operation group,and normal control group.The animal models of HIE were made.At 24,48,72,96 h after HI,Western blot was used to detect the expression of Smac protein in hippocampus.The relative activity of Caspase-3 in hippocampus tissue was determined by colorimetric assay.Results In HI group,at 24,48,72,96 h after HI,the expression levels of Smac protein in hippocampus significantly increased compared with that of pseudo-operation group and normal control group(Pa

BACKGROUND:Celastrol is one of the active components extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Celastrus orbiculatus characterized by expel ing the wind and promoting blood circulation and relieving swel ing and pain.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of celastrol on tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) induced proliferation and inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 cel s.
METHODS:In vitro inflammatory cel models induced by TNF-α(0, 1, 10, 100μg/L) were treated with celastrol (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0μmol/L). Interleukin-1β,-6,-8 and prostaglandin E2 in the models were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cel survival was determined by cel counting kit-8. The inflammatory mediator nitric oxide secretion was detected by nitrate reductase assay. mRNA expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclin D1 and cyclin E1 were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction technique.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Significantly increased secretion of interleukin-1β,-6,-8, prostaglandin E2 and nitric oxide, cel proliferation, and mRNA expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclin D1 and cyclin E1 were observed after the induction of TNF-α(0.1, 10, 100μg/L) compared with the control group (without the induction of TNF-α) (P<0.05);especial y, 10μg/L of TNF-αexhibited the strongest effects. 0.4μmol/L celastrol significantly suppressed TNF-α-induced release of interleukin-1β,-6,-8, prostaglandin E2 and nitric oxide, cel proliferation, and mRNA expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclin D1 and cyclin E1 in RAW264.7 cel s (P<0. 05). Our results demonstrate that celastrol can inhibit TNF-α-induced inflammatory response and proliferation in RAW264.7 cel s.

Objective To investigate the correlation between human papillomavirus(HPV) 16/18 subgroup infection and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC).Methods The infection of HPV16/18 in 39 laryngeal carcinoma specimens and 10 vocal cord polyp specimens were detected by in situ hybridization. Results The positive rate of HPV16/18 expression in 39 laryngeal carcinoma specimens was 48.7%(19/39). The positive rate of HPV16/18 subgroup expression in 10 vocal cord polyps was 0(0/10) . Statistical test showed that HPV16/18 subgroup infection was significantly higher in LSCC than that in vocal cord polyps. No statistically association was observed among the frequency of HPV16/18 subgroup infection and TNM stages, degree of differentiation or lymph nodes metastases. Conclusions HPV 16/18 subgroup infection is associated with he pathogenesis of LSCC.
