The purpose is to study the prophylactic and therapeutic effect of the traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)-Jinyebaidu (JYBD) to guinea pig cytomegalovirus (GPCMV) intrauterine infection. The virus-free female and male guinea pigs were screened with nest-polymerase chain reaction (N-PCR). After inbred, pregnant guinea pigs were selected and divided into 3 groups randomly: 5 guniea pigs of the blank control group were not given either GPCMV or JYBD. 31 guniea pigs of the positive control group were inoculated 1 mL (10(7) TCID50) suspension of GPCMV intraperitoneal. 10 guniea pigs of the experimental group were inoculated GPCMV firstly and then perfused stomach with JYBD for 14 days (Dosage in accordance with the modulus of the weight ratio of human to guniea pig). The effects of JYBD on the intrauterine infection of GPCMV were observed. The results showed that JYBD could decrease the maternal infection rate from 100% (31/31) to 50% (5/10) (P < 0.001), the intrauterine infection rate from 100% (72/72) to 75% (21/28) (P < 0.001), and the rate of abnormal outcome of pregnancy from 64.4% (29/45) to 25.0% (7/28) (P < 0.001), the infective symptoms being relieved. It can be concluded that traditional Chinese medicine- JYBD can prevent and treat (GPCMV intrauterine infection, and can be expected a prophylactic drug for HCMV intrauterine infection.

Monoclonal antibody ( mAb ) represents a class of therapeutics experienced dramatic development over the past 30 years. Because of the tremendous differences in physicochemical and biological properties between mAbs and small molecules, the mAb therapeutics significantly differ from the chemical drugs in pharmacokinetic characteristics and underlying mechanisms. Full understanding of those characteristics and mechanisms may efficiently guide the screening and development of mAb medi-cines, and would well support their safety evaluation and clinical dosage regimen designing. This review is to summarize pharma-cokinetics and underlying mechanisms of mAbs from the aspects of absorption, distribution and elimination, as well as the ap-proaches for prediction of mAb pharmacokinetics in humans.

ObjectiveTo study the scope of excison in breast-conserving surgery for breast carcinoma.MethodsClinical data of 275 breast cancer patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery in t he First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University,the Affiliated Zhenjiang Hospital of Jiangsu University and Changzhou Traditional ChineseMedicine Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The operation procedure and postoperative adjuvant therapy were carried out with the same protocol.Local and general conditions of patients were followed up regularly.Results271 out of 275 patients got follow-up.The follow-up rate was 98.5％.The follow-up time ranged from 1 month to 117 months,median follow-up time was 34 months.Six patients died of distant metastasis,2 with local recurrence.The 1-year,3-year,and 5-year overall survival rates were 99.5％,98.1％,and 95.7％,respectively.ConclusionsIt is safe to excise 1 cm normal breast tissue with clear margin confirmed by frozen section,followed by postoperative adjuvant therapy,endocrine therapy,and radiotherapy,this improves the life quality of patients with breast cancer.It is safe and effective to determine whether the disease is multicentric or multifocal by mammogram plus clinical breast examination.

Objective To compare the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) of patients with sys temic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with other common chronic diseases (coronary heart disease,diabetes and hypertension).Methods Responses from Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaires from outpatients,inpatients with SLE,other common chronic diseases and healthy controls were analyzed in all domains.Results The mean age of patients with SLE was 39+13 years old,while those of patients with coronary heart disease,dia betes and hypertension were 65±16,60±13,59±14 years respectively.All SLE patients were significantly worse in all domains of SF-36 questionnaire,compared with the healthy controls.The responses of inactive patients with SLE,were not significantly worse than those with other chronic diseases in all domains (P＞0.05).On the contrary,the responses of patients with active SLE were significantly worse than those of patients with inactive SLE,as well as patients with other chronic diseases (P＜0.05).Conclusion HRQOL of patients with active SLE is significantly worse when compared to patients with other common chronic diseases.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of fast track surgery on host cell-mediated immunology and inflammatory responses in colorectal cancer patients.Methods: Sixty colorectal cancer patients were prospectively divided into fast track surgery(FTS)group(n=30)and conventional perioperative care group(n=30).In addition to clinical parameters(recovery of gastrointestinal function,complication rates and postoperative length of stay), the parameters of perioperative cell-mediated immunology function,and the serum level changes of CRP and IL-6 were determined.Results: FTS group was associated with a significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay compared with conventional care group(P<0.05).Serum concentration of CRP and IL-6 in FTS group were lower(P<0.05) than in the conventional care group on postoperative day(POD) 1 and POD 3(P<0.05).CD4/CD8 ratio in FTS group were higher(P<0.05) than in the conventional care group on postoperative day(POD)1 and POD 3(P<0.05).Conclusion: Fast track surgery for colorectal cancer patients can preserve cell-mediated immunity and control inflammatory responses when compared with conventional postoperative care.

It can be concluded that traditional Chinese medicine JYBD can prevent and treat GPCMV intrauterine infection, and can be expected a prophy lactic drug for HCMV intrauterine infection.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the mid- and long-term outcomes of patients receiving mitral valve replacement through robotically assisted and conventional median sternotomy approach. METHODS: The data of 47 patients who underwent da Vinci robotic mitral valve replacement in our hospital between January, 2007 and December, 2015 were collected retrospectively (robotic group). From a total of 286 patients undergoing mitral valve replacement through the median thoracotomy approach between March, 2002 and June, 2014, 47 patients were selected as the median sternotomy group for matching with the robotic group at a 1:1 ratio. The perioperative data and follow-up data of the patients were collected, and the quality of life (QOL) of the patients at 30 days and 6 months was evaluated using the Quality of Life Short Form Survey (SF-12). The time of returning to work postoperatively and the patients' satisfaction with the surgical incision were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: All the patients in both groups completed mitral valve replacement successfully, and no death occurred during the operation. In the robotic group, only one patient experienced postoperative complication (pleural effusion); in median sternotomy group, one patient received a secondary thoracotomy for management of bleeding resulting from excessive postoperative drainage, and one patient died of septic shock after the operation. The volume of postoperative drainage, postoperative monitoring time, ventilation time, and postoperative hospital stay were significantly smaller or shorter in the robotic group than in the thoracotomy group ( CONCLUSIONS Robotically assisted mitral valve replacement is safe and reliable. Compared with the median sternotomy approach, the robotic approach is less invasive and promotes faster postoperative recovery of the patients, who have better satisfaction with the quality of life and wound recovery.
