At present,there is not a clear guideline for residual solvents in the new drugs in our country. In practice,the ICH Q3C is our important reference in general,but in practical research and evaluation of new drugs,some adjustment should be made on principles of ICH Q3C,making it suitable for the reality of the pharmaceutical industry in our country. In this article, we put forward some suggestions to improve the quality control of residual solvents in our country,and some initial ideas were provided to solve the question in practice.

AIM: To analyze the effects of two kinds of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs, conbercept and ranibizumab, on proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients as pre-treatment for pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).METHODS: From June 2016 to December 2016, 62 patients (64 eyes) aged 41-59 years old diagnosed with PDR with nonclearing vitreous hemorrhage (VH) and/or tractional retinal detachment (TRD) requiring PPV were enrolled in our study.Patients were treated with intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs 0.50mg (0.05mL) 3d before PPV.Then the standard 23G minimally invasive sclera three-channel vitrectomy was performed where there were no significant complications after the injection of anti-VEGF drugs.The operation time, intraoperative bleeding, iatrogenic retinal breaks, the use of endodiathermy and silicone oil, and postoperative complications were recorded and analyzed.We compared and analyzed the visual acuity and macular thickness before and 1mo after the surgery with the preoperative data.RESULTS: Both conbercept and ranibizumab could improve the postoperative visual acuity and reduce the postoperative macular thickness of PPV.There was no significant difference between the impacts of two kinds of anti-VEGF drug pre-treatment on operation time, intraoperative bleeding, iatrogenic retinal breaks, the use of endodiathermy, silicone oil filling and postoperative vitreous secondary hemorrhage.CONCLUSION: The effects of conbercept and ranibizumab pre-treatment were similar.PPV combined with anti-VEGF pre-treatment could improve postoperative visual acuity and macular edema.The choice of conbercept or ranibizumab should be made flexibly according to the actual situation of patients.

Objective To observe the effect of Danshen in the treatment of severe hand-foot-and-mouth disease and investigate its mechanism.Methods One hundred and forty cases of children with severe hand foot and mouth diseases who hospitalized the intensive care unit were enrolled in the study from February 2012 to July 2014.The children were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 70 cases in each group.The control group was given antiviral to reduce the intracranial pressure and intravenous immunoglobulin and the observation group was given Danshen in addition to the control group.The levels of neuron specific enolase (NSE)、S-100βprotein、TNF-α and IL-6 were detected at admission and checked again seven days after treatment.The changes of the above indicators and the clinical curative effect were compared before and after therapy.Results The total effective rate of the control group and the observation group was 80.0% and 92.9% respectively,showing statistical significance(P<0.05).

In the observation group, serum. The fever clearance time、the disappearance time of rash and the hospitalization time in the observation group (3.55 ± 1.02 d vs.4.55 ± 1.09 d, 7.14 ± 1.04 d) were shorter than those in the control group (4.46 ± 0.97 d vs.5.88 ± 1.44 d, 8.68 ± 1.06 d;t=5.409, 6.161, 8.677 respectively, P<0.01).Conclusions On the basis of conventional therapy,Danshen can effectively alleviate the systemic inflammatory response in children with severe hand foot and mouth diseases, reduce brain damage and improve the clinical efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on heart rate (HR) of rabbits through in vitro and in vivo experiments, and investigate the mechanism by which dexmedetomidine lowered HR.Methods In vitro experiment Healthy adult rabbits of both sexes, weighing 2.0-2.5 kg, aged 8-10 weeks, were studied.The 24 isolated hearts passively perfused in a Langendorff apparatus were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table: control group (group C) , and dexmedetomidine 3 and 30 ng/ml groups (D1 and D2 groups).The isolated hearts were continuously perfused with K-H solution for 45 min in group C.After 15 min of equilibration, the isolated hearts were perfused for 30 min with K-H solution containing dexmedetomidine 3 and 30 ng/ml in D1 and D2 groups, respectively.At 15 min of equilibration, and at 15 and 30 min of perfusion with K-H solution containing dexmedetomidine, HR and left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP) were recorded.In vivo experiment Twenty-five healthy adult rabbits of both sexes, weighing 2.0-2.5 kg, aged 8-10 weeks, were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=5 each) using a random number table: dexmedetomidine 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 μg/kg groups (D3, D6, D9, D12, D15groups), to receive the corresponding doses of dexmedetomidine which was intravenously infused over 10 min.HR and mean arterial pressure were monitored and recorded before administration (T0) , and at 15 and 40 min after administration (T1,2).The correlation between doses of dexmedetomidine and change rate of HR was tested by Spearman correlation analysis.Results In vitro experiment Compared with group C, no significant changes were found in HR and LVSP at each time point in D1 and D2 groups (P＞0.05).In vivo experiment Compared with those at T0 , HR at T1 in D6 and D9 groups, HR at T1,2 in D12 and D15 groups, and mean arterial pressure at T1,2in D6, D9, and D12 groups were significantly decreased (P＜0.05) , and no significant change was found in HR at each time point in group D3 (P＞0.05).The correlation coefficient between doses of dexmedetomidine and change rate of HR was 0.944 (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine lowers HR of rabbits is not related to direct inhibition of sinoatrial nodes, but associated with the balance of autonomic nervous system.

BACKGROUND:Intracerebral administration of selective drugsviathe carotid artery is currently one of the effective methods to enhance the drug concentration in the brain and reduce the influence of drugs on other system functions. OBJECTIVE:To establish the muscle-relaxation rabbit models by infusing propofol continuously in the internal carotid artery and analyze the variations of propofol concentration. METHODS: The muscle-relaxation rabbit models were established by continuously infusing propofol at a constant speedviacatheterization in the internal carotid artery. The pharmacokinetic characteristics could be analyzed by the methods of obtaining arterial and venous blood on both sides of neck and samples of brain tissue on both sides in different points, detecting drug concentration using high pressure liquid assay, and then mathematicaly conversing the resulting data for fitting processing and statistical regression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The method of determining the concentration of propofol using high pressure liquid assay is feasible, stable and reliable. Through investigating the concentration of propofol infused via the carotid artery at different time points, we discovered that the growth rate distribution of propofol concentration and data distribution are in log-normal distribution profile which belong to non-exponential kinetics model,i.e., modified log-normal distribution model,??)(ln x μ 2 1 fx ()=e 2σ2 , whereσ is the range of drug concentration growth indicating stability xk 2πσ of concentration changes, which is an integrated variable related to various factors, such as brain tissue uptake of drugs and brain circulation. The pharmacokinetic model of continuously infusing propofol in the internal carotid artery belongs to log-normal distribution function, i.e., a non-exponential function kinetics model. The brain concentration variations on both sides changing over time folow log-normal distribution function law.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of syphilis among outpatients in sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics in Guangxi Zhnang Autonomous Region,and to assess the socioeconomic and behavioral factors associated with the infection.MethodsThe outpatients to 14 STD clinics in 8 cities of Guangxi Zhnang Autonomous Region were investigated with questionnaires by their doctors at the first visit.Venous blood samples were obtained from these outpatients and subjected to toludine red unheated serum test (TRUST) to screen for syphilis.Treponema pollidum particle agglutination (TPPA) was performed for TRUSTpositive samples.The epidemiological data were collected by using EpiData software,statistically analyzed by using SPSS13.0 software package.ResultsA total of 10 930 STD outpatients were recruited in the study,and 1297 samples were confirmed to be both TRUST and TPPA positive.The prevalence of syphilis was 11.9％ in all of the outpatients,14.3％ in female outpatients and 10.3％ in male outpatients,13.3％ in the outpatients of Zhuang nationality,and 11.4％ in those of Han nationalily.Multivariate analysis showed that syphilis was independently related to female sex[odds ratio(OR) 2.23,95％ confidence interval(CI) 1.69 - 3.00,P＜0.01 ],low educaiion level (middle school:OR 1.70,95％ CI 1.11 - 2.62,P ＜ 0.05; primary school or illiteracy,OR 1.98,95％ CI 1.13 - 3.46,P＜0.05),annual income of more than 30000 Yuan (OR 1.91,95％ CI 1.18 -3.10,P ＜ 0.01 ),commercial sex workers or having multiple sexual partners(OR 1.54,95％ CI 1.16 - 2.06,P ＜0.01 ).ConclusionsSyphilis serology should be the routine test in STD clinical settings in Guangxi region,and the intervention should be enhanced to control the prevalence of syphilis in high-risk populations.

Objective Allograft vasculopathy (AV), feature of chronic rejection, is a major serious long-term post-operation complication in organ transplantation. The accurate mechanisms for AV have not been definitively established, but extensive basic and clinical studies demonstrate AV is triggered by immune reaction and nonimmunologic factors, and also possibly attributed to the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Methods The transplanted hearts from Lewis to Sprague-Dawely rats served as allografts and those from Lewis to Lewis rats as isografts based on Ono 's model. The differential proteins in transplanted hearts were separated by comparative proteomic technique, and some enzymes which regulated the metabolism of BCAA were identified and validated.Results All transplanted hearts at second week postoperation were characterized by lumen loss (total area-luminal area/total area) in coronary artery, but more predominant at 8th week. All samples from the left ventricles were analyzed by proteomic techniques and the subunits E1 a, E1β and E3 of branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex were decreased in the heart allografts.Immunohistological detection also showed the expression of BCKDH was reduced not only in the cardiac muscle but also more significantly in blool vessels with cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV).BCAA concentrations were increased in the cardiac allografts, but there was no difference in the serum. Conclusion These findings suggest that the catabolic pathways of the BCAA may be inhibited owing to the reduced expression of BCKDH complex, and elevated intracellular concentrations of leucine. The vascular smooth muscle cell and cardiac muscle cell proliferation is stimulated via mTOR-dependent and mTOR-independent pathways, which is associated with the formation of myocardial hypertrophy and AV in the heart allografts.

Objective To study the effects of constant and intermittent high glucose on the apoptosis of cultured bovine retinal capillary pericytes (BRPs), and to investigate the role of mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in the apoptosis of BRPs. Methods After being cultured under glucose with different concentrations tot 6 days, the change of uhrastructure of BRPs was observed under electronmieroscope, the apoptosis of pericytes was detected by TUNEL method, the mitochondrial inner transmembrane potential (△Ψm) was detected by laser scanning confocal microscopy, the change of cytochrome c (cyt-c) was assayed by spectrophotometer and the expression of apoptotic genes was detected by immunohistochemical method and RT-PCR. Results (1) BRPs showed typical changes of apoptosis in constant and intermittent high glucose concentrations. The apoptosis induced by constant high glucose concentration was more obvious than that by intermittent high glucose. (2) Constant and intermittent high glucose concentrations obviously decreased △Ψm compared with control group. The △Ψm of BRPs was correlated negatively with the apoptotie rate of BRPs (r = - 0.89, P < 0.01) ; (3) Constant and intermittent high glucose concentrations increased the release of cyt-c from mitochondria to cytoplasm, and the concentration of cyt-c in the cytoplasm was correlated positively with the apoptotic rate of BRPs (P < 0.01) ; (4) Constant and intermittent high glucose concentrations increased the expression of proapoptotie gene Bax and decreased the expression of prosurvival gene Bcl-2, resulting in increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Bax/Bcl-2 ratio was negative correlatied with the △Ψm of BRPs, and positively eorrclaticd with the concentration of cyt-c in cytoplasm and apoptotic rate (both P < 0.01).Conclusion Constant and intermittent high glucose concentrations could decrease △Ψm, increase the release of cyt-c and induce the apoptosis of BRPs, the effects being stronger with constant high glucose concentration. The mitochondrial apoptotic pathway plays an important role in the apoptosis of BRPs, in which Bax and Bcl-2 are involved.
