Artemisinin and its derivative is a kind of efficient,quick and low toxicity of anti-malarial drug.In recent years,we find that artemisinin drugs can not only against malaria,but also have pharmacological effects of immunosuppression,antiviral and anticancer.A number of studies have confirmed that artemisinin and its derivatives have the radiosensitization effects in nasopharyngeal carcinoma,cervical cancer,lung cancer and glioma,and their mechanisms are related to decreasing Weel protein expression,increasing Cyclin B1 protein expression,blocking G2-M phase and cell apoptosis.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate rules and characteristics of the adverse drug reactions(ADR)induced by monoclonal antibodies,and provide reference for rational drug use. METHODS:The literatures of ADR induced by monoclonal antibodies from Jan. 1979 to Dec. 2014 were retrieved and analyzed. RESULTS:Among the 132 ADRs induced by monoclonal antibodies,57 were male(43.18%),75 were female(56.82%),the ratio of male to female was 1∶1.3,the youngest was 2 years old,and oldest was 111 years old;Adalimumab dominated monoclonal antibody drugs(70 cases,53.03%);there were a maximum of ADR(44) within 1 d,accounting for 33.33%;ADR induced by monoclonal antibodies mainly were skin lesions (20.72%),systemic reac-tions(18.42%)and cardiovascular system damage(16.78%),with the specific performance of rash,itching,chills,fever,palpi-tation,rapid heartbeat and so on. CONCLUSIONS:ADR induced by monoclonal antibodies is more common in the clinic. The clin-ic should timely promote and strengthen the patients' care to ensure safe drug use and improve level of clinical treatment.

Background Acute bacterial conjunctivitis is a common ocular infectious disease.It can be cured by topical administration of antibiotics,but these antibiotic eye drops often was used several times per day at present.Azithromycin is thought to offer less using times and shorten the duration of treatment.Objective The purpose of this clinical trail was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of topical administration of 1％azithromycin eye drops for the treatment of acute bacterial conjunctivitis.Methods This study was approved by Ethic Committee of Beijing Tongren Hospital and followed the Declaration of Helsinki.Written informed consent was obtained prior to entering into this trial.A randomized,double-blind and placebo-controlled study was designed.One hundred and eighty patients with acute bacterial conjunctivitis were enrolled in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao Medical College and Qingdao Municipal Hospital from may,2011 to September,2011.Azithromycin eye drops at the concentration of 1％ was topically administered on 89 eyes of 89 patients twice per day initial and once per day later for 9 days in the trial group,and placebo eye drops was used on 91 eyes of 91 patients in the same way in the control group.The inflammation response of all eyes was examined and scored under the slit lamp microscope,and germiculture was carried out.All adverse responses were assessed during the follow-up.Clinical efficacy was evaluated with the clinical cure rate as the primary indicator and bacterial clearance rate as the secondary indicator.The safety of drug was determined,including the ocular irritation sign,lens transparency and intraocular pressure.The differences of the examining results mentioned-above were compared with Chi Square test.Results One hundred and eighty patients completed the clinical trials according to the program without lost and exclusion cases.The clinical cure rate in 89 subjects in the trial group and 91 control individuals was 76.40％ (68/89) and 43.96％ (40/91),respectively,with significant difference between them (x2=19.73,P＜0.01).The bacterial eradication rate was 85.71％ (24/28) in the trial group and 60.53％ (23/38) in the control group,showing a significant difference (x2 =4.99,P＜0.05).Both 1％ azithromycin eye drops and placebo were well-tolerated with a low incidence of adverse events.Conclusions One percent azithromycin eye drops is effective and safe for the treatment of acute bacterial conjunctivitis with less adverse reaction.

Objective： The current study was designed to investigate the role of foods such as fish juice, pickles, bacon, salted fish, smoked food, fruit and vegetables in the etiology of esophageal cancer in Chaoshan region of China. Method： A large case-control study was conducted to investigate 1248 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus and 1248 controls matched by sex and age. Results： After adjusting for the effects of occupation, areas of residence, income, alcohol, cigarette and tea, a strong association with a clear dose-response was observed between the frequencies of fish juice eating and esophageal cancer (P<0.01), and the relative risk for women was 23.5 and for men was 3.1, respectively. The results for pickles were similar to fish juice. A protective effect of fruits on esophageal cancer was observed both in women (OR=0.13) and in men (OR=0.46), and the risk was decreased (P< 0.01) as frequencies of fruits eating was increased. The risks were significantly higher in bacon and salted fish consumers than that in non-consumer, but the dose-response relationship was not significant. No significant effects, however, were detected in vegetables and smoked food consumption. Conclusions:To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report on relationship between the fish juice and high risk of esophageal cancer in population. Further epidemiological and experiment study are required to find a biological causal relationship between them.

BACKGROUNDTelocytes (TCs) are a novel type of interstitial cells, which have been recently described in a large variety of cavitary and noncavitary organs. TCs have small cell bodies, and remarkably thin, long, and moniliform prolongations called telopodes (Tps). Until now, TCs have been found in various loose connective tissues surrounding the arterioles, venules, and capillaries, but as a histological cellular component, whether TCs exist in large arteries remains unexplored.

METHODSTCs were identified by transmission electron microscope in the aortic arch of male C57BL/6 mice.

RESULTSTCs in aortic arch had small cell bodies (length: 6.06-13.02 μm; width: 1.05-4.25 μm) with characteristics of specific long (7.74-39.05 μm), thin, and moniliform Tps; TCs distributed in the whole connective tissue layer of tunica adventitia: TCs in the innermost layer of tunica adventitia, located at the juncture between media and adventitia, with their long axes oriented parallel to the outer elastic membrane; and TCs in outer layers of tunica adventitia, were embedded among transverse and longitudinal oriented collagen fibers, forming a highly complex three-dimensional meshwork. Moreover, desmosomes were observed, serving as pathways connecting neighboring Tps. In addition, vesicles shed from the surface of TCs into the extracellular matrix, participating in some biological processes.

CONCLUSIONSTCs in aorta arch are a newly recognized complement distinct from other interstitial cells in large arteries, such as fibroblasts. And further biologically functional correlations need to be elucidated.

OBJECTIVEThe aim of this study was to detect the expression of livin in human gastric carcinoma and analyze the relationship between livin expression and cliniopathologic features. To explore the feasibility of small interference RNA (siRNA) in inhibition of livin gene expression and to investigate the apoptosis susceptibility of SGC-7901 cells by siRNA-mediated silencing of the livin gene.

METHODSThe expression of livin at mRNA and protein levels were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot assay, respectively. The relationship between livin expression and clinicopathologic features was analyzed. Two siRNAs specifically targeting livin gene were designed and synthesized in vitro, and were transfected into the gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells. The expression of livin mRNA was assayed by RT-PCR. Cell growth state and 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) of 5-Fu and cisplatin on SGC-7901 cells were determined by MTT method. Cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry (FCM).

RESULTSThe expressions of livin mRNA and protein were detected in 19 of 40 gastric carcinoma cases (47.5%). No expression of livin was detected in tumor-adjacent tissues and benign gastric lesion. A positive correlation was found between livin expression and poor differentiation as well as lymph node metastases (P < 0.05). The level of livin mRNA was decreased in the SGC-7901 cells transfected by si-livin1 for 48 hours, with inhibition of cell growth. IC50 of si-livin-treated SGC-7901 cells to 5-Fu and cisplatin was decreased (P < 0.05) and the cells were more susceptible to proapoptotic stimuli (5-Fu and cisplatin) than control groups (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONLivin is overexpressed in gastric carcinoma with a correlation to tumor differentiation and lymph node metastasis, suggesting that it may be as one of molecular prognostic factors for some cases of gastric cancer. SiRNA can inhibit livin expression of SGC-7901 cells and induce cell apoptosis. Livin might serve as a new target for apoptosis-inducing therapy of gastric cancer. Livin;

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling plus Chinese medication for external application in treating post-stroke shoulder pain. Method Two hundred patients with post-stroke shoulder pain were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 100 cases each. The two groups both received rehabilitation training for shoulder joint. In addition, the treatment group was given warm needling plus Chinese medication for external application, while the control group was given warm needling. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, upper-limb Fugl-Mayer Assessment (FMA) and Modified Barthel Index (MBI) were adopted to evaluate the two groups before and after the treatment. The clinical efficacies of the two groups were also compared. Result The total effective rate was 100.0％ in the treatment group versus 87.0％ in the control group, and the between-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The VAS, FMA and MBI scores were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.01). After the treatment, the VAS, FMA and MBI scores of the treatment group were significantly different from those of the control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion Warm needling plus Chinese medication for external application and rehabilitation training can obviously reduce post-stroke shoulder pain, and enhance the upper-limb motor function and activities of daily living.
