Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2014;33(4):416-419
Objective To investigate the protective effect of antihypertensive drug NO.1 on brain cortical tissue in spontaneously hypertensive rats.Methods A total of 60 spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR,30 males and 30 females) and 12 healthy Wistar rats (6 males and 6 females) weighed (200 20) g,were randomly divided into 6 groups.Model group (SHR,n=12) and control group (healthy Wistar rats,n=12) were given the same dose of placebo.Captopril group (SHR,n=12) were given captopril 5 mg · kg-1 · d-1.The low-,median-and high-dose groups of antihypertensive drug NO.1 were given 0.25,0.5 and 1 g · kg 1 · d-1 respectively.After 4 weeks of treatment,carotid artery blood pressure was detected.All rats were sacrificed,and brain tissue samples were taken.The expressions of Bcl-2,Bax,necrosis factor NF-κB P65,chloride channel 2 and 3 (CLC-2 and CLC-3) were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting.Results After 4 weeks of antihypertensive NO.1 treatment,SHR carotid artery blood pressure was (182.8 ± 7.3)mmHg in low dose group,(170.3±9.4) mmHg in medium dose group,and (163.9±10.6) mmHg in high dose group; and (205.4 ± 11.3)mmHg in the model group.Antihypertensive drug NO.1 significantly reduced blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats,and had a concentrationresponse relationship (P<0.05).Antihypertensive drug NO.1 decreased the expressions of Bax,CLC-2 and CLC-3,and increased the expressions of Bcl-2 and NF-κB P65.Conclusions Antihypertensive drug NO.1 plays a protective role in hypertension-induced cell injury by changing the metabolic enhancement in hypertension-induced cell volume decrease.
2.Sequential DC-CIK and radix astragali polysaccharide in post-chemotherapy breast cancer patients
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(7):527-529
Immunity reconstruction treatment using dendritic cells-cytokine induced killer cells (DC-CIK)not only is effective in killing cancer cells, but also enables a quick recovery of chemotherapy patients, thus has received more and more attention for its clinical use. Radix astragali polysaccharide, the extract of traditional Chinese medicine radix astragali, not only has an anti-tumor function, but also can enhance the immunity of cancer patients and reduce the side effects of the chemotherapy. Further researches are needed to validate the combined use of these two treatments in alleviating clinical symptoms of post-chemotherapy breast cancer patients.
3.Intestinal absorption and renal excretion mediated by transporters and the relationship with drug-drug interaction.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2010;45(9):1089-94
Drug-drug interaction (DDI) is referred as the changes of physical and chemical properties, as well as the pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics of drugs administered simultaneously or consecutively. The clinical results for drug-drug interaction could be divided into good clinical efficacy and adverse interaction. With the kinds of drugs increasing every year, new drug resistances spring up frequently. This phenomenon makes drug combination increased so that the drug interaction, especially the adverse interaction emerged. The mechanisms of in vivo drug-drug interaction are relevant to a number of factors, including drug-metabolizing enzyme systems and membrane transporters. Recent studies have revealed the important role played by transporters in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination. In order to avoid severe side effects mediated by transporters and to promote rational combination in clinics, the mechanisms of intestinal absorption and renal excretion mediated by transporters are reviewed.
5.ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE HISTOCHEMISTRY OF THE THALAMUS IN THE PRIMATE
Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis 2001;13(2):101-106
Objective To observe the distribution of acetylcholinesterase activity in the thalamus of the monkey.Methods Histochemical method was used to detect the acetylcholinesterase activity in the thalamus.Results Acetylcholinesterase was found to be inhomogeneous distribution in the primate thalamus and to reveal previously uncovered inhomogeneity within certain thalamic nuclei and their subdivisions. The medial, ventral and posterior nuclear groups displayed markedly uneven acetylcholinesterase reaction.In the mediodorsal nucleus,three distinct sbudivisions were revealed by acetylcholinesterase histochemistry, medial magnocellular part, ventral sector of central parvicellular part and dorsolateral sector of lateral pars multiformity showed weak, moderate and strong acetylcholinesterase activity, respectively. In the ventral nuclear group, acetylcholinesterase histochemistry was strong in the medial part of ventral posterior nucleus, moderate in the magnocellular part of ventral anterior, caudal, medial, oral and pars postrema parts of ventral lateral nucleus, as well as lateral part of ventral posterior nucleus, poor and weak in the inferior part of ventral posterior nucleus, par compacta of the medial part of ventral posterior nucleus and parvicellular part of ventral anterior nucleus. In the pulvinar nucleus, acetylcholinesterase reaction ranged from weak, moderate to strong in the parts of the oral, medial and lateral, as well as inferior of this nucleus, respectively. Regional variations of acetylcholinesterase activity within the thalamic nuclei and their subdivisions can help to identify them by acetylcholinesterase histochemistry. In addition, the dark patches of strong acetylcholinesterase activity contrasting with a lighter surrounding matrix were revealed within the parvicellular part and pars multiformis of mediodorsal nucleus, paracentral nucleus, central lateral nucleus, pars postrema part of ventral lateral nucleus and medial habenula nucleus, as well as medial part of pulvinar necleus, respectively.Conclusion Acetylcholinesterase histochemistry can serve as useful marker for delineating the thalamic nuclei and their sbudivisions. The different distribution of acetylcholinesterase histochemistry implies the activity of thalamic nuclei may be modulated by cholinergic systems.

A questionnaire study on doctor-patient relationship was made to the public servants,people at large,medical staff and patients in Beijing in 2007.It found the relationship to be harmonic in general,given tense to some extent,and the main legal causes for tense relationship were incomplete medical legislation,poor awareness of medical subjects in medical service provision and seeking according to law,and incomplete legal systems to handle medical disputes.In this consideration,the paper proposed to enhance healthcare legislation in an effort to:build a better medical and healthcare legal system;upgrade the capabilities of both doctors and patients in medicine practice and service seeking according to law;build a diversified medical dispute resolution mechanism and legal measures of patient rights assurance.

Objective To evaluate safety and validity of 3D video-assisted thoracoscopic technology in cardiac surgery.Methods Between October 2013 and July 2014,50 patients underwent 3 D Video-assisted thoracoscopic cardiac surgery including:5 atrial septal defect closure,1 ventricular septal defect closure,repairment of 1 unroofed coronary sinus,1 partial atrioventricular septal defect and 1 cor triatriatum,28 mitral valve replacement (1 re-MVR),1 tricuspid valve replacement,9 mitral valvuloplasty,2 left atrial myoxoma resection,and 1 left internal mammary artery harvest + minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass.All procedures were performed under extracorporeal circulation,using 30° thoracoscope and 3D high resolution monitor.Results There was no perioperative death.One patient was converted to median sternotomy because of pericardial adhesions.Mean operative time was(232.8 ± 54.7) min,mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was(128.0 ±42.5) min,mean aortic cross-clamp time was (74.7 ± 25.1) min.Mean ICU stay was (30.4 ± 22.0) h,mean duration of mechanical ventilation was(13.7 ± 11.9) h.Mean postoperative drainage time was (3.34 ± 1.91) d,mean hospital stay was (6.52 ± 3.06) days.There were 11 (22%) operative complications,including 4 intrathoracic bleeding,1 wound infection,3 hemothorax,1 brachial plexus injury,1 intractable hiccup and 1 mild paravalvular leakage.Compared with 20 mitral valve replacement by 2D thoracoscopy,the 3 D group was slightly less time consuming(P > 0.05).Conclusion 3 D video-assisted thoracoscopic cardiac surgery is feasible and safe,and it' s worthwhile to promote this promising technology.
