AIM:To prepare O/W microemulsion formulation containing sinomenine and investigate the effect of different penetration enhancers on transermal delivery character of microemulsion in vitro. METHODS: The microemulsions were prepared and characterized using Zetasize potential/particle size analysis instrument.The stability tests were performed to evaluate the sinomenine microemulsions.Franz diffusion cell was adopted as the apparatus for in vitro transdermal test.Excised Wistar-rat abdomen skin was pretreated with penetration enhancers,such as menthol,borneol and isopropyl myristate. RESULTS: The average droplet size of the microemulsion was about(31.3 nm.)A high permeation rate of(32.238?1.13)?g/cm~(2)?h was showed in vitro.Ail the enhancers showed significant enhancement effect on the transdermal behavior of sinomenine microemulsion.2% borneol had the strongest effect in all. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that the studied microemulsion system with high permeation rate may be a promising vehicle for the transdermal delivery of sinomenine.Menthol,borneol and isopropyl myristate were found to be the proper penetration enhancers in the transdermal preparation.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a kind of complex autoimmune connective tissue disease involving multi-organ and multiple systems.And the cardiovascular complication is a major cause of mortality in SLE patients.The diagnosis and evaluation depend on imaging.As a non-invasive,simplicity and repeatability method,echocardiography plays a vital role in evaluating heart structure and function.The application of echocardiography in the SLE with cardiovascular complications were reviewed in this article.

This article studies the application value of disposable umbilical cord clamp and amputator during gravida childbirth.The umbilicalis is clamped and sheared with disposable umbilical cord clamp and amputator in the area of 3~5mm far from the neonatal abdomen.The operation is simple and consumedly shortens the time and reduces the procedure compared to the traditional method.It is safe and convenient,which is worth spreading.

Objective The regulation on glucose transporters(GLUT1~GLUT5)by sodium butyrate was observed,and the regulation on bax and bcl-x/l by sodium butyrate and glucose was studied.This helped to learn about the possible mechanism of apoptosis of cancer cells induced by sodium butyrate.Methods The expression of GLUT1~GLUT5 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.The expression of bax and bcl-x/l was detected by immuocytochemistry.Cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay.Results In HT-29 cell line,sodium butyrate downregulated the expression of GLUT1 mRNA and the expression of bcl-x/l and induced cancer cell apoptosis,but did not regulate the expression of GLUT2,GLUT3,GLUT5 and bax.GLUT4 was not detected in HT-29 cell line.And when treated with sodium butyrate,the increase of concentration of glucose could increase the expression of bcl-x/l and reduce the effect of apoptosis induced by sodium butyrate.Without treatment with sodium butyrate,the change of glucose concentration only had a feeble regulation on apoptosis.Conclusion Sodium butyrate can obviously downregulate the expression of GLUT1 and downregulation of the expression of GLUT1 is associated with the apoptosis induced by sodium butyrate in HT-29 cell line.

AIM:To set up the quality standard for Fuyang Jiedu Granules(Radix Sutellariae,Herba Scute-(llariae) Barbatae,Herba Epimedii,etc.). METHODS: Radix Scutellariae,Herba Scutellariae Barbatae and Herba Epimedii in preparation were identified by TLC.The content of baicalin was determined by HPLC on Agilent Eclipse XBD-C_(18) column. The mobile phase was methanol-phosphoric-water(47∶53∶0.2).The detection wavelength was at 280 nm. A Shim-pack VP-ODS column was used to determine icariin.The mobile phase consisted of 0.32% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile(75∶25).The detection wavelength was 270 nm. RESULTS: The spot on the thin layer plate was clear.The negative contral was not disturbed.The linear range of baicalin was in the range 0.122 12 ?g to 0.606 ?g.The average recovery was 99.59% with RSD of 2.16%.The linearity range of icariin was in the range 0.201 6 ?g-1.008 ?g.The average recovery was 99.49% with RSD of 1.31%.(CONCLUSION:) The methods are specific,simple,fast and accurate,and can be used for quality control of Fuyang Jiedu Granules.

Objective:To establish the model of pancreaticoduodenal transplantation in rats. Methods:The enteric drained whole pancreas duodenal transplantation model was investisated. The donor aortic segment including the celiac, superior mesenteric divergence were anastomosed with recipient abdominal aorta with end to side. The donor portal was cuff-anastomosed with left renal vein. The graft duodenum were anastomosed with the host jejunum with end to side. Results:Eighty-nine operations were performed and 51 rats were successful, of which all graft of successful case had endocrinium function. Conclusion:This model for pancreas transplantation is reliable.

Epigenetics is defined as heritable changes in genc expression that are,unlike mutations,not attributable to alterations in the sequence of DNA.The predominant epigenetic mechanisms are DNA methylation,histone modification and microRNA.Exploring the precise roles of epigenetic factors on autoimmunity has become an active research area.Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disorder with a prevalence of approximately 0.5％ to 1.0％ worldwide.The mechanisms underlying the initiation and progression of RA are still not completely understood.In recent years,the epigenetics of RA have been widely investigated.Alterations in the modification of histones and DNA methylation are the two major epigenetic mechanisms that may potentially cause a breakdown of immune tolerance and the perpetuation of RA.These epigenetic changes may be ideal targets for new personalized treatments.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common and deadliest cancers in females worldwide. Despite the treatment methods of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are maturing, the prognosis of patients with recurrent, advanced or metastatic cervical cancer remains poor. Molecular targeted therapy provides new hope for these patients. This review focuses on the advances in agents targeting vascular endothelial growth factor pathway, epidermal growth factor receptor, mammalian target of rapamycin, histone deacetylases and cyclooxygenase-2 in cervical cancer.

Objective To analyze the effect of cluster nutrition intervention and psychological intervention combined with compound Kushen injection on postoperative patients with esophageal cancer. Methods 80 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy were divided into two groups. The control group was treated with chemotherapy alone. The observation group was treated with compound bitter ginseng injection and cluster nutrition intervention. Psychological intervention therapy. The total effective rate, the nutritional index before and after treatment, the SF-36 quality of life score and the complication rate were compared. Results The total effective rate and the post-treatment nutritional value of the observation group were higher than those of the control group. After treatment, the SF-36 scale was higher than the control group, the incidence of adverse reactions was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of intensive nutrition, psychological intervention and compound Sophora flavescens injection can improve the nutritional status, improve the curative effect, reduce the adverse reaction and improve the quality of life of patients with esophageal cancer after radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
