1.Analysis of Drug Use of Outpatient Prescriptions in IVF Outpatient Department of Our Hospital
China Pharmacy 2015;(29):4057-4059,4060
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS:By retrospective survey meth-od,the drug utilization of IVF outpatient department in our hospital during Jun. 2012-May 2014 were analyzed statistically in re-spects of consumption structure,consumption sum and DDDs,etc. RESULTS:Oral medicine was major type of medicines in IVF outpatient department,followed by injection;total consumption sum was on the rise,and the sum of injection accounted for large proportion. Ovulation stimulants and sex hormone class medicine,vitamin and other nutritional drugs were main drugs used in IVF outpatient department. The consumption sum and DDDs showed obvious asynchronism. CONCLUSIONS:The drug use is reason-able on the whole. But expensive ovulation stimulants increase the economic burden of patients to some extent.

Objective:To investigate the impact of small extracellular vesicles(sEVs) derived from perirenal adipose cells on the biological behavior of renal tubular epithelial cells under diabetic conditions and the underlying molecular mechanisms.Methods:Primary perirenal adipose cells were extracted from db/m and db/db mice for in vitro culture. The culture supernatant was collected and sEVs(NDM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo, DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo) were extracted by ultracentrifugation. The sEVs were incubated with human renal tubular epithelial cell line(HK-2) to observe changes in their proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) levels. The protein composition of sEVs was analyzed using mass spectrometry to explore the molecular mechanisms. Results:CCK8 results showed that the proliferation level of HK-2 cells after DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo intervention did not change significantly compared with the two control groups(Ctrl group and NDM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo intervention group). Western Blot(WB) results indicated that there were no significant changes in apoptosis levels(Bcl-2, Cleaved-caspase 3, Caspase 3) and autophagy levels(p62, LC3BⅠ, LC3BⅡ) in the DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo intervention group compared with the two control groups. WB and immunofluorescence results demonstrated that DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo intervention upregulated the expression levels of mesenchymal cell marker proteins(Vimentin, α-SMA, Snail2) and downregulated the expression level of epithelial cell marker protein ZO-1 in HK-2 cells compared with the two control groups. Mass spectrometry analysis of sEVs revealed that the differential proteins between DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo and NDM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo were enriched in EMT-related pathways. Among them, the enrichment of thrombospondin(THBS1) in DM-sEVs PRAT-Adipo might be involved in the regulation of EMT in HK-2 cells. Conclusion:Under diabetic conditions, sEVs secreted by PRAT-derived adipocytes promote the upregulation of EMT in renal tubular epithelial cells, a process that may be mediated by the enrichment of THBS1 in sEVs.
