The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of salvianolic acid B (SalB) on blood-brain barrier (BBB) in rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, and to illustrate its possible mechanisms. Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion in rats. The break-down of BBB was indicated by extravasations of immunoglobulin (IgG) monitored with immunohistochemistry. The expression of MMP-9 and NOS2 in the brain was determined by immunohistochemistry, and the expression of p-p38 and p-ERK1/2 was detected by Western blotting. It was shown that on day 2 after ischemia-reperfusion the IgG accumulated around the vascular boundary zone, suggesting the break-down of BBB, and the expression of MMP-9 and NOS2 up-regulated at the same time. The result of Western blotting suggested that the expression of p-p38 and p-ERK1/2 increased. On day 7 after ischemia-reperfusion the. expression of MMP-9 and NOS2 was about the same level as day 2, the expression of p-p38 was higher than that on day 2 and the expression of p-ERK1/2 was slightly lower than that on day 2. SalB (1 and 10 mg x kg(-1)) significantly alleviated the extravasations of immunoglobulin induced by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (P < 0.05). On day 2 and day 7 SalB attenuated the expression of MMP-9 and NOS2 (P < 0.05). SalB (10 mg x kg(-1)) reduced the expression of p-p38 and p-ERK1/2 apparently on day 2 and 7 after ischemia-reperfusion (P < 0.05). SalB (1 mg x kg(-1)) inhibited the expression of p-p38 on day 7 after ischemia-reperfusion (P < 0.05). The results indicate that SalB protects blood-brain barrier in rats after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion by inhibiting the MAPK pathway.

Objective:To evaluate efficacy and safety of multiple-dose tropisetron plus dexamethasone (DXM) versus palonosetron plus DXM for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. (CINV) in patients received multiple day-based highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Methods:Cancer patients who were receiving multiday-based highly emetogenic chemotherapy were randomly assigned to AB or BA groups. A randomized, cross self-control ed method was applied. Patients in AB group received palonosetron (0.25 mg) 30 min before chemotherapy on day 1 and 3 or additional day 5 in the first cycle;and with tropisetron (5 mg) 30 min before chemotherapy on day 1, 2, and 3, or sup-plementary days (day 4 and 5) in the second cycle. Patients in BA group were treated with tropisetron in the first cycle and with palonosetron in the second cycle. Tropisetron and palonosetron were administered with DXM (10 mg) on day 1, followed by additional doses (5 mg) on days 2 to 5. Palonosetron group comprised patients in the AB group in the first cycle and BA group in the second cycle, whereas tropisetron group included patients in the AB group in the second cycle and BA group in the first cycle. Efficacy and safety of tropisetron versus palonosetron in preventing CINV were evaluated. Results:Ninety-one patients were included in analyses. At day 3, 4, and 5, incidence rates of nausea in the palonosetron group reached 28.6%, 30.8%, and 24.2%, respectively, and those of the tropisetron group totaled 42.8%, 47.3%, and 39.6%, respectively (P<0.05). At day 4, 5, and 6, incidence rates of vomiting in the palonosetron group measured 28.6%, 18.7%, and 5.5%, respectively, and those of the tropisetron group reached 42.9%, 34.1%, and 14.3%, respectively (P<0.05). From day 4 to day 5, day 6 to day 7, and day 1 to day 7, the palonosetron group yielded significantly lower incidence rates of nausea and vomiting than tropisetron group (P<0.05). Rate of rescue treatment in the palonosetron group was lower than that in tropisetron group (13.2%vs. 24.2%, P=0.057). No statistical difference in toxicities was observed between the two groups. Conclusion:Palonosetron plus DXM features better efficacy than that of tropisetron plus DXM against delayed CINV induced by multiple day-based highly emetogenic chemotherapy, which was well tolerated in the two treatments.
