OBJECTlVE To investigate the improvement effect of rosigIitazone(ROm)against cis-pIatin(DDP)-induced nephropathy in rats and its mechanim of resistance to oxidative stress. METHODS Invitro:the survivaI rate of HEK293 ceIIs was measured with mTT assay incubated with DDP 0.4 -100 μmoI·L-1 aIone or with DDP 25 μmoI·L-1 and ROm 0.01-1000 μmoI·L-1 for 48 h. Then the content of maIondiaIdehyde(mDA)and the activity of gIutathione(GSH)in HEK293 ceIIs co-incubated with DDP 25 μmoI·L-1 and ROm 100 μmoI·L-1 were assayed using chromatometry. In vivo:sixty maIe SD rats were randomIy divided into normaI controI group,modeI group(DDP 5 mg·kg-1 )and modeI+ROm 5,10 and 20 mg·kg-1 groups. The modeI of DDP-induced nephropathy was estabIished by taiI vein injection of DDP 5 mg·kg-1 ,once a week,for 3 times. After the first injection,the rats in modeI+ROm 5,10 and 20 mg·kg-1 groups were ig given ROm 5,10 and 20 mg·kg-1 ,once a week,for 8 weeks. The bIood urea nitrogen(BUN)and creatinine(Cr)were assessed with an automatic biochemicaI anaIyzer. Nitric oxide(NO)and mDA content,GSH and superoxide dismutase( SOD)activities in the kidney tissue were determined using chromatometry and histopathoIogicaI changes in renaI tissues were detected by hematoxyIin-eosin staining. RESULTS In vitro:IC50 of DDP to HEK293 ceII survivaI for 48 h was 21.0 μmoI·L-1 . Co-incubation with ROm 1-1000 μmoI·L-1 and DDP 25 μmoI·L-1 for 48 h couId signifi-cantIy increase the totaI ceII survivaI rate compared with DDP 25 μmoI·L-1 group(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01), whiIe co-incubation with ROm 100 μmoI·L-1 and DDP 25 μmoI·L-1 for 48 h couId significantIy decrease the IeveI of mDA(P﹤0.01)and increase GSH activity(P﹤0.01),respectiveIy. In vivo:compared with normaI group,serum BUN and Cr content in modeI group were significantIy increased(P﹤0.01),renaI tissue GSH and SOD activities decreased(P﹤0.01),renaI tissue mDA content increased(P﹤0.01), and renaI tissue NO IeveI and NOS activity aIso decreased significantIy(P﹤0.05). Compared with modeI group,serum BUN content in modeI+ROm 5,10 and 20 mg·kg-1 decreased from(17.0±1.3)mmoI·L-1 to 14.0±4.1,11.2±1.8 and(6.1±1.0)mmoI·L-1(P﹤0.01),serum Cr content in modeI+ROm 10 and 20 mg·kg-1 decreased from(124.6±39.8)mmoI·L-1 to 49.0±5.2 and(47.1±2.9)mmoI·L-1(P﹤0.01), renaI tissue GSH and SOD activities in modeI+ROm 10 and 20 mg·kg-1 group increased significantIy (P﹤0.05,P ﹤ 0. 01),mDA IeveI decreased(P﹤0.05,P ﹤ 0. 01),NO IeveI and NOS activity aIso increased(P﹤0.05,P﹤0.01),and renaI pathoIogicaI tissue damage couId be improved. CONCLUSlON ROm pIays a protective roIe in rat kidney damage caused by DDP,which may be reIated to improving oxidative stress resistance of the kidney.
2.Progress in molecularly targeted anti-tumor drugs derived from natural products or their derivatives
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2020;55(11):2491-2500
Conventional chemotherapy drugs, molecularly targeted drugs, and immune checkpoint inhibitors are the major constituents of anti-tumor drugs in clinical settings at present. Molecularly targeted drugs specifically target the key proteins, genes, or signal transduction pathways in tumor cells which are essential for initiation and development of tumor, resulting in selective activity to induce cell death or growth inhibition. Molecularly targeted drugs have emerged as the mainstream in the research and development of anti-tumor drugs due to its high selectivity and low toxicity. Natural products refer to the chemical constituents or metabolites originated animals, plants, or microorganisms, which have been recognized as one of the important sources of drug discovery with abundant resources and diversified structures. At present, a number of molecularly targeted anti-tumor drugs derived from natural products or their derivatives have been approved for cancer therapy or in clinical trials. This review will summarize the molecularly targeted anti-tumor drugs derived from natural products or their derivatives according to their different cellular targets, and also outline the molecular mechanism, progress, and perspectives of these drugs.

PurposeTo investigate clinical significance of echocardiography combined with Flash CT in diagnosis of partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (PAPVC). Materials and Methods Twenty-eight cases of PAPVC were recruited in the study. All the subjects underwent both preoperative echocardiography and coarse pitch Flash CT scanning. Imaging findings were compared with the results of surgery, including the type of PAPVC, size of atrial septal defect (ASD), and other combined malformations. Results Among 28 patients, 16 cases and 5 suspicious cases (4 cases of PAPVC and 1 case of pulmonary vein embolism) were diagnosed by echocardiography. Six cases were missed, and 1 case was misdiagnosed. CT misdiagnosed 1 case. The accurate diagnosis rate of echocardiography (71.4%, 20/28) was lower than that of Flash CT (96.4%, 27/28) (P<0.05). There were 44 combined malformations in 28 cases, 43 lesions were diagnosed by echocardiography, and 34 lesions were diagnosed by Flash CT. The accurate diagnosis rate of echocardiography (97.7%, 43/44) was higher than that of Flash CT (77.3%, 34/44) (P<0.05). The average DLP was (15.5±3.2) mGy·cm and average effective dose (ED) was (0.354±0.058) mSv.Conclusion Flash CT has a higher diagnosis accuracy of PAPVC but a lower diagnostic accuracy of combined malformations when compared with echocardiography. Moreover, echocardiography can make comprehensive evaluation in valve disease, pulmonary artery pressure and cardiac function. Flash CT combined with echocardiography may improve preoperative diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of the parathyroidectomy (PTX) in the treatment of severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) with Sagliker syndrome (SS). Methods A retrospective review was undertaken among 212 SS patients underwent PTX in our hospital and with more than 3 years' follow up. The definitions of the efficacy were based on the postoperative intact parathyroid hormone level (iPTH). Cure showed that the iPTH was < 150 ng/L; marked effectiveness was 150-300 ng/L; effectiveness was 301-500 ng/L;ineffectiveness was >500 ng/L. The status was defined as persistent SHPT if iPTH was > 150 ng/L after surgery. The status was considered as SHPT recurrence if iPTH was < 100 ng/L in the first week after surgery, and gradually increased and > 150 ng/L with the follow-up. Results ( 1) Ten patients were involved and the average dialysis time was 142 months [male/female: 4/6; age 30-54 (39. 3 ± 10. 4) years]. All patients had severe bone and joint pain, accompanied with progressive facial increases, chicken breast, kyphosis, hip bone deformities, and body height shortening. (2) Preoperative tests: the median of iPTH 2000(1800-2863) ng/L; serum calcium (2. 45 ±0. 21) mmol/L, phosphorus (2. 19 ±0. 51) mmol/L, alkaline phosphatase ( ALP) (1189. 8 ± 780. 0) IU/L. Two to four enlarged parathyroid glands were confirmed by ultrasound and 99Tcm-MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy. ( 3 ) Surgical procedures: local or general anesthesia for PTX. Supplement with calcium and calcitriol implemented low serum calcium after PTX. (4) Follow-up: symptoms, including bone pain, muscle weakness, skin itching, and insomnia, were significantly improved after surgery. Transient hoarseness occurred in 2 cases. The iPTHs of all patients were decreased significantly after surgery. The median of iPTH was 55.5 ( 10-967) ng/L at 1 month post PTX, and was significantly less than prior to PTX (P<0. 001). Eight patients were cure , 1 marked effectiveness ,and 1 ineffectiveness. Two patients were persistent SHPT, and 1 died of heart failure in the 4th year after PTX. The development of bone deformities was stopped and malnutrition was improved in long-time follow up. The level of iPTH 135(28-390)ng/L(P<0. 001 ) , serum calcium, phosphorus, and ALP showed normal in the third year. The SHPT recurrence was appeared in the 2nd and 3rd year in 2 out of 8 patients, respectively. Conclusions Total PTX can effectively treat SS by SHPT. It can improve prognosis for patients, such as bone pain disappearing, bone deformities stopping and malnutrition improving, etc. The level of iPTH may rise again in some patients in the future. Therefore, more attentions should be paid to monitoring.
