OBJECTIVE:
To provide a reference about choosing the methods of isolating exosomes derived from tumor cells including laryngocarcinima Hep-2 cells by comparing advantages and defects of two methods of isolation and extraction exosomes.
METHOD:
Previously, laryngocarcinoma Hep-2 cells were cultivated massively, then the cells were processed with hot shock in 42 degrees C for 1 h. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation ultrafiltration (method 1): cells culture supernatant 90 ml was gathered, the supernatant was clarified through a 3/0.8 μm small filter to remove impurities and fragments which in larger diameter. Then the filtering fluid was concentrated and purified through sucrose density gradient centrifugation and ultrafiltration, the concentrated fluid was obtained. Exosome Isolation Kit (method 2): cells culture supernatant 4 ml was gathered, the solutions of the kit were added into the supernatant in proper sequence, then filtered by the special column, the concentrated fluid was obtained. Both products are observed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.
RESULT:
Both methods could isolate and extract exosomes feasibly. In single high power view of transmission electron microscopy, exosomes of method 1 disperse better, but lower density, and more impurity in background, exosomes of method 2 arrange closer, higher density, and less impurity.
CONCLUSION
Exosome isolation Kit require less supernatant, cost less time, process procedure briefly, harvest higher yield. It may become a new option of isolating exosomes derived from Laryngocarcinoma Hep-2 cells.

Objective To understand the situation of off-label use of sildenafil, so as to provide reference for developing off-label drug use policy. Methods A stratified random sampling method was used to collect prescription data of sildenafil in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital in 2015. The off-label drug use situation was analyzed according to drug labels. The situations of drug use in all departments were summarized, and off-label drug use occurrences were analyzed.Results A total of 1044 prescriptions with sildenafil were collected and analyzed to discover the occurrence of off-label use was up to 69. 54%. The top 3 departments of off-label use of sildenafil were assisted reproductive center, heart center and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The top 3 types of off-label use were non-indication(50. 35%), over drug population(31. 76%) and over drug administration(17. 89%). The top 3 diseases for non-indications were infertility, pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease. Conclusion Sildenafil off-label use was common in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital in 2015, especially in assisted reproductive center, heart center, and NICU. The result suggests that more clinical studies about sildenafil on cardiovascular system are expected to provide more evidence for drug use, so as to ensure the safety of drug use in special populations and avoid potential medical risk.

No. 3 medicated group: The BASR was by garage given in a dose of 2 g/kg for consecutive 7 days be fore operation. No. 4 medicated group: The BASR was by gavage given in a dose of 2.5 g/kg for consecutive 7 days before operation.Control group:the same volume of saline was by gavage given for consecutive 7 days before operation. ① Scoring of dysneuria (5-score system: 0-1 score meant mild dysneuria, 2-4 scores meant severe dysneuria) for all rats were performed after consciousness following 2 hours ischemia and 24 hours reperfusion.② After 24 hours reperfusion,10 rats in each group were at random selected for assay of levels of CRP, complement 3 (C3) and complement 4 (C4) (rate nephelometry), and concentration of nitric oxide (nitrate reductase method)in both cerebral homogenate and serum.③ After 24hours reperfusion, 10 rats in each group were at random selected, and after anesthesia was completed, the brain was quickly collected through decapitation, put into a 110 ℃ drying oven till its constant weight, then the water content in brain was calculated.④ The cerebral cytomorphology in every group was observed under light microscope. ⑤ After reperfusion, 3 rats in each group were randomly selected for preparation of coronal section of cerebral tissue,the cerebral ultrastructure in each group was observed under transmission electronic microscope.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The results of dysneuria scoring in each group. ② The levels of CRP, C3 and C4, and concentration of nitric oxide in both cerebral homogenate and serum.③ The water content in brain. ④ The cerebral cytomorphology and the cerebral ultrastructure. RESULTS: All 138 rats entered into the result analysis. ① Comparison of the extents of dysneuria of rats in each group: The ratio of severe dysneuria after 24 hours ischemic reperfusion in all medicated groups was obviously lower than that in control group(P < 0.01),and the ratio in No.4 medicated group was lower than that in No.2 medicated group(P < 0.05).② Comparison of water contents in brain of rats in each group:The water contents in sham operation group and all medicated groups were obviously lower than that in control group (P < 0.05). ③ Comparison of the nitric oxide concentration in cerebral homogenate of rats in each group: The concentration in sham operation group and all medicated groups were obviously lower than that in control group (P < 0.01). The concentration in No. 3medicated group was obviously lower than that in No. 1 medicated group (P < 0.05).The concentration in No.4 medicated group was obviously lower than that in No. 2 medicated group (P < 0.01). ④ Comparison of the nitric oxide concentration in serum of rats in each group:The concentrations in sham operation group and all medicated groups were obviously lower than that in control group(P < 0.01).The concentration in No.3 medicated group was higher than that in No. 1 medicated group (P < 0.05). The concentration in No. 4 medicated group was higher than those in No. 2 and in No. 3 medicated groups (P < 0.05). ⑤ Comparison of the levels of CRP in cerebral homogenate and serum of rats in each group: The levels in sham operation group and all medicated groups were lower than that in control group(P < 0.05-0.01).The level in No.3 medicated group was lower than that in No. 1 medicated group (P < 0.01). The level in No. 4 medicated group was lower than those in No. 2 and in No. 3 medicated groups (P <0.05-0.01).⑥ Comparison of the levels of C3 in cerebral homogenate and serum of rats in each group:The levels in sham operation group and all medicated groups were lower than that in control group (P < 0.05-0.01). The level in No.3 medicated group was lower than that in No.1 medicated group (P < 0.05). The level in No. 4 medicated group was lower than those in No. 2 and in No. 3 medicated groups (P < 0.01). ⑦ Comparison of the levels of C 4 in cerebral homogenate and serum of rats in each group:The levels in sham operation group and all medicated groups were lower than that in control group (P < 0.05-0.01). The level in No. 3 medicated group was lower than that in No. 1 medicated group (P < 0.05). The level in No.4 medicated group was lower than those in No. 2 and in No. 3 medicated groups (P < 0.01). ⑧ Comparison of the condition of cerebral edema of rats in each group:In control group there was obvious cerebral congestive edema,indicating an obvious infection;while in medicated groups the extent of cerebral edema was milder than that in control group.⑨ Changes of cerebral ultrastructure of rats in each group:The ultrastructure in sham group was normal. In control group, there obvious edema of cells, capillaries and sheaths in the marginal zone of cortex necrosis,and reduction of organelles of neuron. As well. In No. 3 and No. 4 medicated groups, the limits of cell membranes were clear, the structure was integral, the chondriosomes were rich and even in size,the medullated fibers were morphologically normal.And in No.1 and No.2 medicated groups the changes were between the twoCONCLUSION:① The scoring of dysneuria in rats was decreased after the blood-activating and stasis-resolving medicine was given,and it was lower in rats that were given a longer period of medication,indicating that the improved extent for dysneuria is related to prolonged medication.②The nitric oxide concentration of cerebral tissue in rats that recevied the blood-activating and stasis-resolving medicine was decreased, and the nitric oxide concentration of serum in the rats was increased,indicating that the blood-activating and stasis-resolving medicine can reverse the anomalies of nitric concentration in different tissues after ischemic reperfusion so as to reduce cerebralinjury.③ The levels of C3 and C4 of cerebral tissue and serum in rats that received the blood-activating andstasis-resolving medicine were obviously decreased,indicating that the medicine may reduce the cerebral injury through triggering complement system;and the CRP was also get decreased,further suggesting that the medicine can inhibiting infective reaction.④ The longer the period of medication,the milder the cerebral injury, and the dose of 2.5 g/L was better in effect.
