The disposition of drug in vivo is subjected to a series of biotransformation and transport, depending on the involvement of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters.However, the individual capacity varies when metabolizing and transporting the same drug, and pharmacogenomics has trouble in completely explaining the differences.microRNA, a key aspect of epigenetic modifications, is a powerful complement to traditional genetics.Emerging evidences have confirmed that drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters be controlled by different microRNAs, and the same microRNA also regulates several drug-metabolizing enzymes or/and transporters simultaneously.All of these researches infer that microRNAs are likely to realize the comprehensive macro-regulation of gene expression.The further study of microRNAs maybe a suitable point to research the interindividual variability in disposition of drugs, and it provides a theoretical basis for rational use of drug and individualized medicine.

Objective To assess the population pharmacokinetic parameters for propofol for Chinese surgical patients using a nonlinear mixed- effect model (NONMEN) program and qualitatively analyze the effects of gender, age and body weight.Methods Seventy-six ASA I - II patients(37 male,39 female) ,aged 17-77 years weighing 39-86 kg. Undergoing elective surgery were studied. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular sodium luminal 0.1 g and scopolamine 0.3 mg. Radial artery was cannulated for blood pressure monitoring and blood sampling. BIS, AEPindex, EGG, BP, PET CO2 and SpO2 were continuously monitored during operation. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol and fentanyl. A loading dose of fentanyl 3 ?g? kg-1 was given iv followed by infusion at 2 ?g ? kg -1? h-1 until 30 min before the end of surgery. Propofol 1 -2.5 mg ?kg -1 was given iv over 0.5-4 min followed by infusion at 3-8 mg ? kg-1? h-1 until the end of surgery. When the patient was unconscious intubation was facilitated with vecuronium 0.1 mg? kg-1 . Blood samples were obtained before propofol and 2-120 min during propofol infusion and 2-600 min after discontinuation of propofol infusion for determination of blood propofol concentration. 1 439 blood samples were analyzed using NONMEM program. Interindividual and intraindividual variability was estimated for clearance and volume of distribution. The effects of age, body weight and gender were investigated. Results The pharmacokinetics of propofol in Chinese patients was best described by a three-compartment pharmacokinetic model . Body weight was found to be a significant factor affecting the two inter-compartmental clearances and the volume of the central compartment. The shallow and deep peripheral compartments remained constant for all individuals. For a 60 kg adult these parameters were estimated to be 1.56 L?min-1, 0.737 L?min-1 , 0.360L?min-1 ,12.1 L,43 L,213 L,respectively. For elderly patients, the clearances and volume of central compartment decreased with increasing age. Conclusions The pharmacokinetics of propofol in Chinese patients can be well described by a standard three-compartment pharmacokinetic model. Age and body weight can affect the parameters of the pharmacokinetic model. Pharmacokinetics adjusted to the individual patient should improve the precision of TCI system.

Objective To analyze the genetic changes in peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) and to find the key molecular aberrations underlying its pathogenesis. Methods A total of 37 cases of PTCL-NOS were investigated by 1Mb resolution array comparative genomic hybridisation (Array-CGH), in which 9 cases were further studied by using a Tile path array-CGH. DNA extraction, clonality analysis and histologic review were conducted to exclude 6 cases with polyploidy and without obvious genetic imbalances from this study. Results In general, there was a considerable overlap in the CGH profiles in many PTCL-NOS cases. The most recurrent regions of genomic gains were lp36.13-1p36.32, 7q22.1, 7q36.1-7q36.3, 7q32.1-7q32.3, 7q22.1-7q34,9p11 .2-9q12 and 9q33.3-9q34.3. The most recurrent regions of genomic losses were 1p12-1p21.1 and 13q14.11-13q14.3. Conclusion Genomic gains and losses are frequently identified in PTCL-NOS with array-CGH, in which patients with multiple chromosomal alterations (≥6regions) have poor prognosis. These genomic profiles are broadly important to reveal a distinct subgroup with genetic alterations and to find the key genomic imbalance of PTCL-NOS.
