AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety on the radio-heating-chemotherapy in treatment of patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE). METHODS: 60 patients of MPE were randomly devided into two groups, radio-chemotherapy group (treatment group) and chemotherapy group (control group). The drugs, according to the types of tumor cells, were select to take intravenous injection and pleural cavity administration. The patient’s pleural cavity was drained continuously by pleurocentesis. These treatments were made once two week lasting for 4-6 weeks with NS 30 ml+cisplatin 60 mg by perfusion of pleural cavity. After the perfusin of pleural cavity, radio-heating was performed 60-90 min, twice one week for 8-10 times in the treatment group. RESULTS: The response rate was 90% (CR+PR) in the treatment group, and 67% (CR+PR) in the control group. The rates were higher than those in the control group (P

Objective To observe the effects of hypoxia preconditioning on the mitochondria ultrastructure of hepatocyte during liver transplantation in rats.Methods A modified orthopotic liver autotransplantation model was used to simulate liver transplantatation.Seventy two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following three groups:the normal control(group NC),the autotransplantation group(group AT),and the hypoxia preconditioning group(group HP),with twenty four rats in each group.Group HP were given an 8% oxygen atmosphere for 90 minutes before the operation.At 1,6,and 24 hours after the operation,the rats were killed and the following tests were conducted:1.The morphology of mitochondria was observed under transmission electron microscopy(TEM);2.Mitochondria were quantitatively analyzed by a MiVnt image analysis system.ResultsHepatic cells in group AT showed typical injury signs under TEM,the appearance of hepatocytes and mitochondria in group HP were much better than the group AT,and the areas,perimeters and diameters of mitochondria in group HP were much smaller than those in group AT by a significantly amount(P

OBJECTIVE:To prepare Ibuprofen lysine sustained-release liquid suppository,and conduct the evaluation in vivo and in vitro. METHODS:Ibuprofen lysine sustained-release liquid suppository was prepared by using Poloxamer solution as main matrix,carbomer as bioadhesive agent,laurocapram as penetrant. The ratios of poloxamer 407(P407)-poloxamer 188(P188)and carbomer content were screened by using gel temperature,gel intensity,biological adhesion and release rate in vitro as indexes, and the concentration-time curves and pharmacokinetic parameters of prepared liquid suppository and common solid suppository af-ter rectal administration in Beagle dogs in vivo were compared. RESULTS:When the P407-P188 ratio was 1:1.2,the gel tempera-ture of sustained-release liquid suppository was 30.4-38.1 ℃,which was the nearest to the rectal temperature;when the content of carbomer was 0.8%,the in vitro release of sustained-release liquid suppository was in zero-order model,with favorable correlation (R2=0.996). The tmax of common solid suppository was 3.206 h,then plasma concentration decreased significantly,release time did not exceed 12 h,AUC0-∞ was 501.826 mg·h/L;tmax of sustained-release liquid suppository was 8.814 h,then plasma concentration decreased,release time exceeded 24 h,AUC0-∞ was 715.489 mg·h/L. CONCLUSIONS:Ibuprofen lysine sustained-release liquid suppository is successfully prepared,which shows better sustained-release effect and excellent correlation in vivo and in vitro than common solid suppository.

ObjectiveTo synthesize metal complex that exhibits superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and determine its structure.MethodsThis chemical compound was synthesized by means of reflux in laboratory.Its structure was examined by infrared spectra (IR),nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectra(H-NMR) and mass spectra (MS).The activity of the SOD was determine by xanthine oxidase (XOD).ResultsThe IR indicted that this complex showed a typical absorption band of -OH,C=N and benzene. The H-NMR reveals the existence of metal ion manganese (Mn3+ ,paramagnetic). The molecular weight was 365, which was obtained by EI-MS analysis. And this complex showed SOD-like activity.ConclusionA metal complex with low molecular weight and SOD-like activity has been synthesized.

Objective To study the protective effects of the compound with low molecular weight of anti free radical on brain ischemic and hypoxic injuries in rats.Methods The model of brain ischemic and hypoxic injuries in rats was established by unilateral carotid artery ligature just for 2 h. The compound was injected 30 minutes after the rats act on hypoxic state (10% O2+90%N2) for 1 h. Then the serum of rats was separated and the value of the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondiade (MDA) were determined, and the pathological changes were observed in brain tissue.Results Compared with rats in the model group, the compound decreased the concentrations of MDA in serum (P<0.05), and raised the level of SOD (P<0.05) significantly in therapy group. Otherwise, the pyramidal cells remained organized order, with only a few cells degenerated occasionally in rats of therapy group. Conclusion The compound has SOD like activity. It can scavenge the free radical and inhibit peroxidation of lipid, so it can prevent brain cells from the damage.

Objective To investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics in 55 patients with Acute Viral Diarrhea caused by Norovirus.And provide basis for preventing and controlling the spread of the disease.Methods A total of 5 1 3 fe-cal samples of diarrhea cases from 3 surveillance hospitals in 2013 from January to December were collected,analyzed the clinical date and detected Norovirus useing RT-PCR.Results The number of Norovirus positive was 55,positive rate was 10.7%.There were significant differences between Norovirus infection and not infected patients for age (χ2=4.27,P<0.05),then there were no significant differences between Norovirus infection and not infected patients for gender,employ-ment,whether food pathogenic diseases (χ2=0.086~3.21,P>0.05).The clinical symptoms of acute gastroenteritis pa-tients caused by Norovirus infection was fever (χ2=4.6,P<0.05),there were no significant differences for diarrhea (≥5 times/day),bellgache,vomiting,nausea (χ2=0.139~3.636,P>0.05).Conclusion Norovirus is common pathogens of a-cute diarrhoea,which incidence is higher.Clinical symptoms alone is difficult to differentiate with other diarrheaphases.The confirmed diagnosis is depended on the etiology.

AIM: To observe the effect of continuous epidural analgesia (CEA) of tramadol on postoperative gastrointestinal function and serum motilin level in the patients with cholecystectomy. METHODS: Twenty eight ASAⅠ-Ⅱpatients (8 male, 20 female) aged 24-56 yr, scheduled for elective cholecystectomy under epidural anesthesia, were randomly divided into tramadol group (T, n=14) and control group (C, n=14). The combination of tramadol 800 mg+ bupivacaine 150 mg+ droperidol 5 mg, which diluted with normal saline to 100 ml and pumped 2 ml?h -1, was administered in group T. The combination in group C was bupivacaine 150 mg+ droperidol 5 mg. The VAS values, the first anorectum exhaust timing (FAET), and the time of the first eliminating stool timing (FEST) were recorded, and serum motilin level measured with radioimmunoassay at the different times after surgery. RESULTS: There was a significant difference in the mean VAS values between group T ( 1.2? 1.2) and group C ( 3.3? 1.3) (P

Objective To explore a method for development of carbon tetrachloride-induced cirrhotic model in rabbit and establish a portal vein delivery system in this model.Methods Male New Zealand white rabbit was subcutaneously injected carbon tetrachloride twice weekly,and the liver pathology and hepatic hydroxyproline content were examined after 12 weeks of injection.Portal vein catheterization was introduced through the terminal branch of mesostenium vein.The injection end of the catheter was embedded subcutaneously in the abdominal wall of the animal.The portal delivery was implemented by percutaneous puncture of the injection cap.Results After 12 weeks' of carbon tetrachloride administration,the rabbit liver developed typical pseudo lobule,and the liver hydroxyproline content increased 3.5 times compared to normal control.The portal vein delivery system could be maintained as long as 12 weeks.Conclusion A successive method to induce rabbit liver cirrhosis is developed,and a simple and economic animal portal vein delivery system is introduced.
