Background and purpose:Herpes zoster is a common adverse event associated with the use of bortezomib. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efifcacy of different therapeutic regimens of valacyclovir prophylaxis: continuously administration and intermittent administration. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the efficacy, side effects, expense of valacyclovir and emotional states of 31 patients with multiple myeloma who received bortezomib and valacyclovir prophylaxis. Among them, 14 patients underwent continuously administration of valacyclovir, the other 17 patients underwent intermittent administration. Continuously administration was deifned as daily oral valacyclovir 600 mg without cessation during entire period of bortezomib treatment. Intermittent administration was deifned as patients received valacyclovir at a dose of 600 mg daily during chemotherapy, while discontinue valacyclovir at the intermission time of bortezomib treatment. Results: There were no herpes zoster in patients of 2 arms. Adverse events over grade 3 associated with valacyclovir were not observed. Intermittent administration of valacyclovir showed a superiority of economic beneift. The emotional status were depended on the therapeutic effects of multiple myeloma. For those relapsed or refractory patients, continuously administration of valacyclovir might aggravate depression and anxiety. Conclusion:Intermittent administration of valacyclovir at a dose of 600 mg daily appears to be an effective prophylaxis for herpes zoster in patients receiving bortezomib.

Objective To explore the effect of astragalus extracts on adherence, migration, cell viability, microvascular formation, and eNOS expression in bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) of rats. Methods EPCs were cultured, isolated and identified in vitro and divided into four groups: low titer group (10-4 g/L of astragalus extracts), middle titer group (10-3 g/L of astragalus extracts), high titer group (10-2 g/L of astragalus extracts) and control group. The effects of astragalus extract on adhesion, migration or microvascular formation were observed under the inverted microscope and com?pared between all groups;Cell viability was detected by MTT assay;mRNA transcription and protein expression levels of en?dothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in EPCs were detected by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blot re?spectively. Results Compared with the control group, cell adhesion, migration and microvascular formation of EPCs all en?hanced with addition of astragalus extracts in a dose dependent manner (F=15.256, 13.633, 97.549 respectively, and P <0.05 in all cases); Cell vitality of EPCs increased with administration of astragalus extracts in a time and dose dependant manner. (F=9.755 for time and F=10.18 for dose). mRNA transcription and protein expression of eNOS in EPCs were up-reg?ulated with addition of astragalus extracts in a dose dependent manner (F=56.356 and 77.125 respectively, and P<0.05 in both cases). Conclusion Astragalus extracts play important role in angiogenesis in EPCs probably through up-regulating expressions of eNOS.
