Objective To investigate the anti-tumor effects of a combination of Kanglaite injection (KI) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) on human pancreatic cancer SW1990 xenograft in nude mice.Methods The animal model of human pancreatic cancer was developed by suturing small pieces of SW1990 tumors into the dorsum of nude mice.60 rats were randomly divided into six groups:group A ( control group without treatment),group B ( receiving 1.25g/kg KI via the tail vein prior to PDT and continuously for 10 days),group C (receiving 2.5g/kg KI via the tail vein continuously for 10 days),group D (PDT group,2 mg/kg Photosan 48h prior to laser irradiation),group E ( group B + group D),group F ( group C + group D)with 10 rats in each group.The tumor sizes were measured twice per week.The mice were sacrificed on the 14th day of PDT treatment.The tumor was took out and weighted and the tumor inhibitory rate was analyzed.Results The tumor volumes of group A to F were 9550.08±52.46)mm3,(519.71±46.44)mm3,(405.29±38.67 ) mm3,( 199.27±37.37) mm3,( 107.47±14.13 ) mm3 and (75.58±12.53 )mm3,the weight of group A to F were (0.82±0.08)g,(0.77±0.06)g,(0.61±0.06)g,(0.41±0.05)g,(0.28±0.04)gand (0.16±0.04)g,respectively.The tumor volumes and tumor weights of the two combined groups were significandy smaller than those in the other groups (P＜0.05).The combination group of 1.25 g/kg KI increased the tumor inhibitory rate from 50% in PDT group to 65.9%.The combination group of 2.5 g,/kg KI increased the tumor inhibitory rate to 80.5%.Conclusions KI had attenuated effect on PDT therapy,and the combination of KI and PDT could significantly inhibit the tumor growth.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the changes of coagulation indicators in patients with hepatitis B complicated with Clonorchis sinensis (C. Sinensis), and provide reference value for diagnosis, drug using and prognosis monitoring. Methods　The patient samples were collected from the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from June 2018 to February 2022 and divided into six groups. They were 40 healthy patients, 47 patients with simple chronic hepatitis B, 47 patients with post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis, 40 patients with C. Sinensis mono-infection, 30 patients with chronic hepatitis B patients co-infected with C. Sinensis and 27 patients with post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis patients coinfected with C. Sinensis. Four coagulation indexes, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT) and fibrinogen (FIB), were detected and compared among the groups. Results Compared with the healthy group, C. Sinensis mono-infection group had higher level of FIB and delayed PT, APTT; chronic hepatitis B group and chronic hepatitis B patients co-infected with C. Sinensis group had delayed PT, APTT, TT and significant lower FIB, these differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Compared with simple chronic hepatitis B group, post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis B patients co-infected with C. Sinensis had significant delayed PT, APTT, TT and lower FIB (all P<0.05). Compared with the post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis B patients co-infected with C. Sinensis, post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis patients coinfected with C. Sinensis group had significant delayed PT, APTT, TT and lower FIB (all P<0.05). Conclusions The coinfection of C. Sinensis will further aggravate the coagulation dysfunction of HBV patients, leading to poor treatment and prognosis. HBV patients will have worse coagulation function in the process to post-hepatitis B liver cirrhosis; Therefore, it is important to pay attention to C. Sinensis co-infection when treating HBV patients, so that further guidance on clinical use and monitoring of prognosis can be provided.

AIM To prepare the moisture-proof granules of polysaccharides from Astragali Radix.METHODS Mixture design was adopted in the optimization of excipient proportion after moisture absorption determination of mixed powder of polysaccharides and seven excipients.With the influencing factors of ethanol concentration,ethanol amount,drying temperature and drying time,together with the evaluation indices of moisture absorption rate and non-forming rate,the preparation was optimized by orthogonal test based on single factor test.The critical relative humidities were then compared after drawing moisture absorption curves of polysaccharides,mixed powder and granules.RESULTS The mixed powder with an optimal ratio (1 ∶ 2) of polysaccharides to mixed excipients (46.3％ lactose,14.5％ mannitol and 39.2％ microcrystalline cellulose) was found to remain the moisture absorption rate of 11.6％ within 168 h.The optimal conditions were determined to be 70％ for ethanol concentration,0.125 times for ethanol amount,55 ℃ for drying temperature,and 60 min for drying time,the moisture absorption rate was 8.1％ within 168 h,and the non-forming rate was 11.46％.Compared with polysaccharides and mixed powder,the granules showed relatively lower initial velocity and acceleration (absolute value) of moisture absorption,and relatively higher critical relative humidity.CONCLUSION The granules of polysaccharides from Astragali Radix prepared by this method show a good moisture-proof effect.

Objective To evaluate the effective and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous portal vein guide wire placement adjunct to thrombolytic catheter,which treating portal vein thrombosis after liver transplantation.Methods From Jan 2012 to Dec 2015,a total of 6 patients (5 male,1 female,average age 50.6 years old,age range 41-65 years old) with portal vein thrombosis after liver transplantation were retrospectively studied.The diagnosis was confirmed by contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) with hypoechonic and no enhancement in portal vein.With ultrasound-guided a 18-guage guide wire was placed in right branch of portal vein,and a guidewire was placement.After exchanging the catheter,the thrombosis was confirmed again by venography.A thrombolytic catheter was placed and local thrombolysis therapy was performed.Results The guidewires were successfully placed in 6 patients.The thrombolytic catheters were successfully placed in 5 patients (day 2-60 after operation),and failed in 1 patient (9 years after operation).With 5-11 days urokinase injection,the patency of portal vein was found in 5 patients,of which 4 patients was treated by angioplasty and stent placement.With 16-31 months follow-up,the patency of portal vein was maintained.Neither server complication nor related-death was occurred.Conclusions Ultrasound-guided percutaneous portal vein guide wire placement adjuncts thrombolytic catheter is effective and safety for treating portal vein thrombosis after liver transplantation.

Objective To investigate the role of gamma secretase inhibitor-I (GSI-I) in cell proliferation and apoptosis of human glioma cell lines U87 and U251.Methods RT-PCR and fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) were employed to evaluate the expressions of Notch receptors and their target gene Hes-I in both U87 and U251 cells treated by GSI-I,respectively.Then,MTT assay was used to examine the effects of GSI-I on cell proliferation of the 2 glioma cells.Meanwhile,flow cytometry technique was also employed to detect the cell cycle changes and apoptosis induced by GSI-I treatment.Results The activity of Notch pathway was inhibited by GSI-I treatment through down-regulating the expression of Notch receptors target gene Hes-I in both U87 and U251 cells.Treatment with 2.5μmol/L GSI-I or above concentrations could significantly induce the cell cycle arrest of U87 and U251 cells and these effects were positively concentration-dependent.Flow cytometry technique showed that GSI-I inhibited the cell proliferation by inducing the cell cycle arrest of U87 cells at GI phase and inducing the apoptosis of U251 cells.Conclusion GSI-I can dramatically inhibit the cell proliferation and induce the apoptosis of U87 and U251 cells,providing a reliable evidence for clinical glioma treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for vancomycin-induced neutropenia adverse reactions/adverse events in clinical diagnosis. METHODS:With a case of children with neutropenia treated by long-course and large-dose vancomycin,PubMed and CNKI were retrieved to collect related literature and the literature was analyzed. RESULTS:Neutropenia may be associated with vancomycin,based on causality criterion of adverse reaction in China. CONCLUSIONS:Vancomycin-induced neutropenia in chil-dren is most likely associated with prolonged exposure induced by infusion,vancomycin dosage should be reduced or stopped,and routine blood and plasma concentration should be closely monitored.

Objective To assess the clustering of cardiovascular risk factors and their effects on target organ damage in elderly patients with hypertension .Methods 421 treated elderly hypertension patients were divided into 5 groups based on the number of risk factors :hypertension without additional risk factor (group A ,25 cases) ,and the other 4 groups were complicated with 1 (group B ,76 cases) ,2(group C ,127 cases) ,3(group D ,128 cases)and ≥ 4 (group E ,65 cases) risk factors .The structure and function of heart and carotid artery were examined by ultrasonography in order to evaluate the damage of target organ and the morbidity .Re-sults The patient groups with three or more risk factors showed significantly higher levels of BMI ,plasma glucose ,triglyceride , LDL-C cholesterol ,serum creatinine and serum uric acid ,and needed greater number of antihypertensive drugs ,compared with other groups(P<0 .05) .The patient groups with two or more risk factors showed significantly higher levels of LVMI ,IMT and MAU/Cr compared with group A(P<0 .05) ,and significantly lower levels of the creatinine clearance (P<0 .05) .In addition ,they showed significantly higher incidences of coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease and chronic kidney disease compared with group A (P<0 .05) .Conclusion These results suggest that the hypertensive patients with clustering risk factors required greater number of antihypertensive drugs .The more additional risk factors exit ,the more target organ damages and higher morbidity occur ,and more intensive intervension are required to control not only blood pressure but also other complicated risk factors .
