Objective To study the synergistic effects of Mitomycin C in photodynamic therapy for colonic carcinoma. Methods The colon carcinoma cell line SW800 was assigned to be treated with 002 ?g/ml Mitomycin C, or 2 ?g/ml PSD-007 (photosensitizer), or Mitomycin C and PSD-007 (PSD+MC group).The cells without any special treatment served as control. Fluorescence spectrophotometer and MTT assay were used to detect the content of intracellular photosensitizer and survival rate of SW700 cells under photodynamic therapy. The obtained data was analyzed with SPLM statistical software. Results After PSD was added for 4, 8, 16 and 24 h, intracellular PSD level of PSD+MC group increased significantly as compared with that of PSD group. The intracellular PSD contents of PSD group, PSD+MC group had a strong and negative correlation with cell survival rate respectively after photodynamic therapy, but the cell survival rate curve shifted to the left obviously. The best killing effects on SW700 cells of photodynamic therapy could be obtained when the SW700 cells had been exposed to photosensitizer for 8-16 h. Conclusion There is insignificant influence of lowconcentration of Mitomycin C alone on cell survival rate. The better synergistic effect of Mitomycin C on killing the colon carcimoma cells can be achieved by enhancing the intracellular content of photosensitizer for 6-8 h before photodynamic therapy.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method to determine and compare the contents of sodium benzoate in medicinal(phar-maceutical excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients) and non-medicinal (chemical reagents and food additives) grade. METHODS:HPLC was conducted for content determination,SPSS 18.0 software was adopted to compare the results. The column was Purospher STAR LP RP-18 endcapped with mobile phase of acetotrile-0.02% formic acid(adjusted pH to 4.0 with aqua ammo-nia)(30∶70,V/V)at a flow rate was 1.0 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 230 nm,column temperature was 35 ℃,and vol-ume injection was 20 μl. RESULTS:The linear range of sodium benzoate was 10.5-525.3 μg/ml(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision, stability,reproducibility and durability tests were lower than 0.5%;recovery was 99.38%-101.26%(RSD=0.56%,n=9). The av-erage contents of sodium benzoate in medicinal and non-medicinal grade were between 99.400%-99.875%,but the average content of non-medicinal grade is lower than the medical grade. CONCLUSIONS:The method is accurate and simple with high specificity and good reproducibility,and can be used to determine and compare the content of sodium benzoate in medicinal and non-medici-nal grade.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of three kinds of dose of pulmonary surfactant (PS) in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), and to determine the optimal dose. Methods One hundred and seventy-four cases of NRDS were divided into A group (59 cases), B group (57 cases) and C group (58 cases) according random digits table. Based on the conventional treatment, children in A group were given large dose of poractant alfa injection 250 mg/kg, children in B group were given 200 mg/kg, and children in C group were given 100 mg/kg. After treatment for 1, 6, 12 and 24 h, the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2), arterial oxygen tension (PaO2), oxygenation index (OI), arterial/alveolar oxygen tension ratio (a/APO 2), ventilator using and oxygen using time and the incidence of complication were compared. Results After treatment for 12,and 24 h, the levels of SaO 2 in A group and B group were significantly higher than those in C group: 0.936 ± 0.018, 0.935 ±0.019 vs. 0.857 ±0.027;0.941 ±0.017, 0.946 ±0.015 vs. 0.847 ±0.053, and there were significant differences (P<0.01). After treatment for 12 and 24 h, the levels of SaO 2 in A group and B group had no significant differences ( P>0.05). After treatment for 1, 6, 12, and 24 h, the levels of FiO 2 and OI in A group and B group were significantly lower than those in C group, and the levels of PaO 2 and a/APO2 in A group and B group were significantly higher than those in C group. There were significant differences (P<0.01). The levels of FiO2, OI, PaO2 and a/APO2 in A group and B group had no significant differences ( P>0.05). The ventilator using time in A, B and C group were (108.6±23.5) , (119.6±32.8), (156.3±27.3) h, and there were significant differences (P<0.05 or<0.01). The oxygen using time in A and B group had no significant difference ( P>0.05). The oxygen using time in C group was significantly longer than that in A and B group: (186.5 ± 52.8) h vs. (148.7 ±24.4), (154.6±28.2), P<0.01. The incidence of complication in A and B group had no significant difference ( P>0.05).The incidence of complication in C group was significantly higher than that in A and B group:29.31%(17/58) vs. 13.56%(8/59), 12.28%(7/57), P<0.05. Conclusions Poractant alfa injection 200 mg/kg is optimal dosage for poractant alfa injection in the treatment of NRDS, and it can effectively improve oxygenation and ventilation function, reduce the incidence of complication, shorten the course of disease and improve the prognosis and increase the cure rate. Excessive dose is waste, and little dose can not get effective treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between HBV mutations in the precore (PC)/core promoter region and the liver histological changes in HBeAg negative CHB patients. Method A total of 71 HBeAg negative CHB patients with liver biopsy from April 2012 to Dec 2013 were enrolled. DNA was extracted from blood serum, then the HBV S gene and PC/core promoter region were amplified by semi-nested PCR and sequenced. The relationship between significant liver histological changes and viral factors were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis. Results The incidence of significant necroinflammation (15.8% vs. 27.3%, χ2 =1.398, P = 0.237) and significant fibrosis (71.1% vs. 84.4%, χ2= 1.926, P = 0.165) were found to be similar between patients infected with HBV genotype B and genotype C . By Logistic regression analysis including risk factors of age, sex, HBV genotype and mutations (T1753V,A1762T/G1764A,A1846T and G1896A), the A1762T/G1764A mutation in HBV associated with significant necroinflammation (OR = 4.296, P = 0.037), while factors of age, sex, genotype and other mutation were not associated with significant liver histological changes. (all P > 0.05). Conclusion Mutation in PC/core promoter region of HBV may act as a marker to evaluate the liver histological changes.

Objective To evaluate the preventive effect of entecavir on liver injury in chronic HBV infected patients complicated with tuberculosis receiving anti-tuberculosis treatment.Methods A total of 102 chronic HBV infected patients complicated with tuberculosis were collected from Guangzhou Eighth People' s Hospital and Guangzhou Chest Hospital during January 2011 and May 2012.Patients were divided into three groups:group A (n =33) received entecavir plus anti-tuberculosis treatment,group B (n =29) received lamivudine plus anti-tuberculosis treatment,and group C (n =40) received anti-tuberculosis treatment only.Liver injury,termination of treatment,liver function and HBV DNA load before and after treatment were observed.SPSS 13.0 was used for statistial analysis.Results Two cases (6.1％) in group A,6 cases (20.6％) in group B and 22 cases (55.0％) in group C had liver injury,and the difference among three groups was of statistical difference (x2 =22.126,P ＜ 0.01),but the difference between group A and group B was not significant (x2 =3.024,P＞0.05).One case (3.0％) in group A,3 cases (10.3％) in group B and 15 cases (37.5％) in group C terminated the treatment,and the difference among three groups was of statistical significance (x2 =16.008,P ＜ 0.01),but the difference between group A and group B was not significant (x2 =1.410,P ＞0.05).ALT and AST in group A and group B were not of significant differences before and after anti-tuberculosis treatment,but those in group C were significantly higher (Z =18.306,16.821,P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference in HBV DNA load among three groups before the treatment (Z =0.460,P ＞ 0.05),while HBV DNA loads in group A and group B significantly decreased during the treatment,and the difference among three groups after the treatment was significant (Z =23.213,P ＜0.01).In addition,lower HBV DNA load was observed in group A compared with group B after one month anti-tuberculosis treatment (Z =8.109,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Early use of entecavir can effectively prevent liver injury during anti-tuberculosis treatment,ensuring anti-tuberculosis treatment and anti-HBV treatment carried out as planned.

Objective To evaluate narrow band imaging (NBI) assisted argon plasma coagulation (APC) in treatment of Barrett's esophagus (BE). Methods Suspected BE lesion was observed under white light, NBI and magnification, biopsies were taken at the site with characteristic pit pattern and capillary architecture of BE. A total of 86 patients with pathologically confirmed BE were randomly divided into NBI group (n= 42) to receive APC under NBI, or control group (n= 44) to receive APC under whit light. For APC procedure, the probe was inserted through biopsy channel to reach 1 cm beyond the endoscope tip, and was located 1-2 cm from the lesion to assure safe use. All patients were followed up with endoscopy and biopsy at 3 and 6 months after APC, respectively. Results There was no significant difference between 2 groups in effective rate of BE mucosal eradication at 3 and 6 months after APC procedure (P > 0.05). Conclusion NBI assisted APC is safe and effective in eradication of BE epithelium, in reducing procedure time and in relieving of functional gastrointestinal symptoms related with BE.

Various questionnaires for screening diabetes in Chinese population were evaluated. Two questionnaires (Finnish Diabetes Risk Score and Danish Diabetes Risk Score) were applied. Sensitivity, specificity and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for both questionnaires were calculated. The AUCs were 0. 760 (95% CI: 0.713-0.806) for the Finnish questionnaire (P<0.01) and 0.706 (95% CI: 0.647-0.764) for the Danish one (P<0.01). The sensitivities, specificities and predictive values of both questionnaires were not so good in the present survey as in the published reports. It suggests that these screening questionnaires must be modified to suitable for Chinese population.
