1.Studies on the relationship between prostaglandin E_2 and rheumatoid arthritis with drug development
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1987;0(03):-
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmunity disease, and many effect factors contribute to the pathogenesis process of RA. Prostaglandin E_2(PGE_2) is one major inflammatory mediator. In this article ,we review the synthesis,metabolism and action pathway of PGE_2, the interaction between PGE_2 and inflammatory cellular factors of RA, and the therapeutic effect of drugs on RA.

Objective To assess the efficacy of clinical intervention of early swallowing syndrome on neonates. Methods Eighty-six cases of normal newborns were enrolled in the study, including 44 cases of natural delivery,32 cases of cesarean section,8 cases of premature infant. The cases started vomitting before feeding the milk, became more severe after feeding the milk. once the pathological factors were excluded, the cases were treated with breastfeeding, warm water enema, massaging the lower abdomen, 1% sodium bicarbonate solution to the gastric lavage. Results A variety of clinical interventions on the control of neonatal swallowing syndrome results are obvious. Conclusions Early detection early intervention can prevent complications occurring.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the risk factors of nosocomial infection in burn patients in order to raise their treatment level.METHODS Picked out the nosocomial infection and the risk factors in burn patients during recent three years,we then made the review analysis.RESULTS From 234 cases 46 patients were with nosocomial infection,the infection rate was 19.66%,the most common location was wound infection,accounted for 63.04%,followed by respiratory tract for 23.91%.The main risk factors were age(≥ 60 years),severe degree burns,a long stay in hospital,and the large-scale application of antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS As for the high incidence of nosocomial infection among burn patients,we must pay close attention to and strengthen prevention.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of sertraline on cytokine balance in patients with depression. METHODS: Serum levels of interleukin2(IL-2), interleukin12(IL-12), interleukin4(IL-4), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-?1) were measured in 26 patients with depression(depression group) before and after treatment and 28 healthy volunteers (control group) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: As compared with control group, in depression group the serum levels of IL-2, IL-12, TNF-? were significantly higher than in control group; the serum levels of IL-4, TGF-?1 were significantly lower than in control group(P

Objective To investigate the association between diet during pregnancy and hypertensive dis-order complicating pregnancy ( HDCP ) , so as to provide a theoretical basis guiding appropriate diet during pregnancy.Methods Using 1∶2 matched case-control study method, we selected pregnant women delivered in Anhui Women and Child Health Care Hospital from January to December 2014, and interviewed them with food frequency questionnaire.The relationship between intake frequency of various food and HDCP was analyzed. Results A total of 543 women were included in this study, including 181 cases and 362 controls.Mann-Whit-ney U test results showed that the frequencies of meat and fish, eggs, beans, nuts, milk, and pickled food con-sumption were significantly different between the cases and the controls (all P<0.05);while the differences in cereals, vegetables, and fruits consumption frequency between cases and controls were not statistically signifi-cant (all P>0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that higher intake frequencies of beans (OR=0.746, 95%CI:0.645-0.862), eggs (OR=0.789, 95%CI:0.693-0.898), and milk (OR=0.822, 95% CI:0.725-0.931) were associated with lower risk of HDCP; in contrast, higher intake fre-quency of pickled food was associated with higher risk of HDCP (OR=1.190, 95% CI:1.054-1.344). Conclusions Beans, eggs, and milk may be protective factors for HDCP, while pickled food may be risk fac-tor of HDCP.Diet during pregnancy should be appropriate and following scientific guidelines.

Objective To investigate the effect of bortezomib combined with doxorubicin on lymphoblastic lymphoma cell line Molt-4.Methods Molt-4 cells were cultured in the presence of bortezomib and doxorubicin,cell viability was monitored by CCK-8 and trypan-blue exclusion.Apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry and mitochondrial membrane potential,expression of Fas was also measured with flow cytometry.Results Molt-4 cell proliferation was substantially inhibited in concentration-dependent manners when treated with either bortezomib or doxorubicin.The combination of both drugs synergistically inhibited Molt-4 cell proliferation at 48 hours [(57.24±0.10) %].Combination therapy further enhanced bortezomib and doxorubicin induced apoptosis [48 h (23.08±1.25) %] (P < 0.05).Detection of mitochondrial membrane potential showed that combination therapy could promote apoptosis (15.84 %,5.38 %,5.52 %) but did not significantly change the level of Fas expression (P > 0.05).Conclusion Combination therapy of bortezomib with doxorubicin efficiently inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of Molt-4 cells.Activation of mitochondrial and intrinsic apoptotic pathway may play important roles.
