ObjectiveTo observe the dynamic changes of blood perfusion and hypoxic status by CT perfusion imaging and hypoxia imaging in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after treatment with recombinant human endostatin (RHES). MethodsA total 15 patients with NSCLC were randomly divided into treatment group (n = 10) and control group (n = 5). The patients in treatment group continuouly received the treatment with RHES (7.5 mg/m2) by intravenous infusion for ten days, and CT perfusion imaging and hypoxia imaging were performed at day 1, 5 and 10,respectively. The time window' was observed with the blood perfusion status and hypoxic changes.ResultsIn the treatment group, capillary permeability surface (PS) and tumor to normal tissue (T/N) were firstly decreased, and then increased. Their lowest points occurred at about the fifth day. PS showed statistical significance compared with the first day (q1.5 = 12.05, P＜0.01 ) and no significance compared with the tenth day(q10.5 = 2.79, P=0.69), while T/N showed a significant difference between above time points (q1.5 = 73.81, q10.5 = 20.6, P = 0.00).Blood flow (BF) was firstly increased, and then decreased.Its highest point appeared at about the fifth day with statistical significance compared with the first and tenth day (q1.5 = 12.29, q10.5 = 10.48, P＜0.01 ). All the PS,BF and T/N between the fifth day in treatment group and the control group showed statistically significance (all P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions The time window of recombinant human endostatin improving blood perfusion and hypoxic status in non-small cell lung cancer is within about one week after administration.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nasal packing, septal suture technique and vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) after septoplasty. METHOD: Ninety patients of nasal septal deviation in Combination with outfracture of the inferior turbinates who had received septoplasty were selected in this study. The patients were allocated into three groups, with thirty in each: for packing group, marcel materials were used for nasal packing after septoplasty; for suturing group, septal suture technique was performed after septoplasty; for VSD group, one drainage tube was used for negative pressure sucking after septoplasty without nasal packing. Postoperative signs and symptoms were compared between three groups. The comfort degree assessment included headache and nasal obstruction were evaluated by using visual analogue scale (VAS) at the 12th hour and 24 hour after operation. The edema in nasal cavity, hemorrhage. abscess,adhesive and healing rates after operation were compared among three groups. RESULT: The VAS score of headache and nasal obstruction and the severity of patient's conditions were significantly less in septal suture group and VSD group than that in packing group at the 12th and 24th hour after operation. The mucosa edema of nasal cavity was significantly slighter in septal suture group and VSD group than that in packing group at the third day after operation. The healing rates and number of complications are better in septal suture group and VSD group than those in packing group at the 7th day after operation. There were no hemorrhage or abscess in VSD group. CONCLUSION Septal suture technique and VSD after septoplasty can significantly relieve the distress of patients and reduce the healing time of mucosa in nasal cavity without increasing the risk of complications.

Ketoprofen is widely used as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. A potential sustained release ketoprofen tablet formulation was designed by orthogonal experiment on formulations composed of differential common excipients and homemade polymerides, and was screened by dissolution in vitro. The dissolution rate (%) of the ketoprofen tablet in simulated intestinal fluid was 16.6, 26.7, 42.2, 63.6, 83.1, 93.4, at 30min, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 h, respectively. The plasma ketoprofen concentrations in six male volunteers were assayed after administration of a single oral dose (100 mg) of the sustained release tablet. It was found that the tablet formulation screened in vitro had sustained release effect in vivo too. This study suggests that there was a close correlation between the dissolution of sustained release ketoprofen tablet in vitro and the percent of dose absorbed in vivo, and the correlation coefficient was 0.9689. The influence of tablet hardness on the release rate of ketoprofen was also observed..

Aim To study the effect of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid receptor(GHBR ) on neuronal apoptosis suffering from focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Methods The male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 240～280 g were randomly divided into seven groups: sham operation group(sham), ischemia-reperfusion group(Isc/R) ,NCS-356 160、320、640 ?g?kg-1 group(N1、N2、N3),NCS-382 640+NCS-356 640 ?g?kg-1 group(NCS-382+N3),and nimodipine 600 ?g?kg-1 group(Nim).The middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) model invented by Zea Longa with modifications was adopted. The experiment was divided into two parts after ischemia reperfusion for 24h:In the first part,we measured the cerebral expression of Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase-3 by immuneohistochemical method. In the second part,we measured neuronal apoptotic rate by flow cytometry in the ischemic cortex region. Results The expression rate of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2/Bax ratio of N1,N2,N3 and Nim groups were all higher than that of Isc/R group(P

Objective Complex of oxymatrine(OMT)-carbenoxolone sodium(CS)was prepared,and the acute toxicity of the OMT-CS complex and their protective effects on injured liver induced by carbon tetrachloride(CCl_4)were also studied.Methods The OMT-CS complex was formed after preparing OMT and CS solutions individually then mixing them in ratio,the constant was detemined by UV-vis,the complex was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction,IR,and NMR.The sequence method was employed to test LD_50 of the complex by iv injection.The aspartate transaminase(AST)and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)in serum were measured in acute hepatic injuried models by CCl_4 proportionally im injected the complex in mice.Results The ratio of OMT and CS in the complex appeared to be 1∶1.The results of powder X-ray diffraction measurement indicated that a novel crystalline structure of complex was formed.The acute toxicities of LD_50 of the complexes in 1∶1,and 2∶1 were lower than that of both OMT and CS only.Compared with the model group by CCl_4,AST and ALT levels in serum were lower than that in the complex at 1∶1 and 2∶1 ratios.Conclusion The toxicity of the complex in different proportions on acute hepatic injuried mice by CCl_4 decreases obviously,compared with their precursor drugs.

Objective To decrease tumor local recurrence after abdominoperineal resection (APR)for low rectal cancer using cylindrical abdominoperineal resection. Methods From February 2009 to February 2010 cylindrical APR was performed in 15 patients of advanced ultralow rectal cancer at the Department of General Surgery, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, according to the standard protocol as described by Holm. The procedure involves careful mobilization of the mesorectum as far down as the origins of the levator muscle. Ater stoma formation, the abdomen is closed, the patient is rotated into the prone position, and an extended perineal dissection is performed. This includes the sphincter complex and the inferior surface of the levators to a point laterally where they originate on the pelvic sidewall. This point should be just inferior to the level where the abdominal procedure was terminated. The coccyx is often removed in continuity with the main specimen to improve direct visualization of the dissection.Results The cylindrical technique removed more tissue in the distal rectum. There was no bowel perforation, perineal wounds were primary healing. One patient developed perineal seroma. One patient developed peritoneocele hernia of pelvic floor. Conclusions Cylindrical APR performed in the prone position for low rectal cancer removes more tissue around the tumor that leads to a reduction in intraoperative perforations, which should reduce local disease recurrence.
