As children are extremely sensitive to the bad taste of medicine,they have poor compliance with the bitter medicine.It is of great importance to develop the approaches of taste masking for the research of paediatric drug formulations.Besides,taste masking technology is one of the main barrier to develop children pharmaceutic preparation.This article provides an overview of the advance in taste masking technology of oral paediatric medicine in recent years,and introduces five types of taste masking technology in terms of drug,preparation and the bitter taste transduction,including principle and characteristics of these approaches,as well as their application in formulations,so as to provide some references for the development of paediatric medicine.

The relationship between M3 cholinergic receptor agonist (carbachol) hyperstimulation-induced pancreatic acinar cellular injury and trypsinogen activation or NF-kappaB activation in rats was studied in vitro. Rat pancreatic acinar cells were isolated, cultured and treated with carbachol, the active protease inhibitor (pefabloc), and NF-kappaB inhibitor (PDTC) in vitro. Intracellular trypsin activity was measured by using a fluorogenic substrate. The cellular injury was evaluated by measuring the leakage of LDH from pancreatic acinar cells. The results showed that as compared with control group, 10(-3) mol/L carbachol induced a significant increase of the intracellular trypsin activity and the leakage of LDH from pancreatic acinar cells. Pretreatment with 2 mmol/L pefabloc could significantly decrease the activity of trypsin and the leakage of LDH from pancreatic acinar cells (P < 0.01) following the treatment with a high concentration of carbachol (10(-3) mol/L) in vitro. The addition of 10(-2) mol/L PDTC didn't result in a significant decrease in the activity of trypsin and the leakage of LDH from pancreatic acinar cells treated with a high concentration of carbachol (10(-3) mol/L) in vitro (P > 0.05). It was concluded that intracellular trypsinogen activation is likely involved in pancreatic acinar cellular injury induced by carbachol hyperstimulation in vitro. NF-kappaB activation may not be involved in pancreatic acinar cellular injury induced by carbachol hyperstimulation in vitro.

AIM To investigate whether dipfluzine (Dip) possesses antiarrhythmic effect on experimental arrhythmias and effect on cytosolic calcium in ventricular myocytes of guinea-pig. METHODS Experimental arrhythmias were induced by strophanthin G infusion through jugular vein in guinea-pigs and by myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) in rats respectively. Cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) of isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes was examined with laser confocal scanning microscope. RESULTSIn guinea-pigs pretreatment with Dip 20 mg·kg-1 increased the dosages of strophanthin G required to induce ventricular premature contraction (VP), ventricular tachycardia (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF) and cardiac arrest (CA), pretreatment with Dip 10 mg·kg-1 increased the dosages of strophanthin G required to induce VP. In the I-R-induced arrhythmic model of rats, Dip 20 mg·kg-1 decreased the number of rats exhibiting VT, VF and CA, and the number of rats exhibiting VF and CA was decreased by Dip 10 mg·kg-1. Both Dip and verapamil (Ver) decreased [Ca2+]i of the ventricular myocytes in normal Tyrode′s solution. The Ca2+ overload evoked by high extracellular Ca2+ levels was inhibited by Dip and Ver, and the prophylactic effect of Dip was less than that of Ver, while the curative effect of Dip was more obvious than that of Ver. CONCLUSION Dip has antiarrhythmic effect, which is likely related to the modulation on the intracellular calcium homeostasis.

Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of cotransplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenehymal stem cells (MSCs) and peripheral blood stem cells in hematological malignant diseases and to observe its effect on hematopoietic reconstruction after cotransplantation. Methods Adult human MSCs were isolated from the healthy bone marrow of the patient himself with Percoll (1. 073 g/ml) and cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with low glucose containing 10% AB type human serum. After conditioning regimen of high-dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy, cotransplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs and peripheral blood stem cells was done in five patients with hematological malignant diseases. Results The process of the infusion was safe and there were no adverse reactions or other toxicities related to the infustion of MSCs. The median time to achieve neutrophil counts greater than 0. 5 × 109/L was 9.4 days ( ranging from 8 to 11 days) after cotransplantation and platelet counts greater than 20 × 109/L 12. 2 days (ranging from 10 to 14 days). Conclusion Cotransplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived MSCs and peripheral blood stem cells in hematological malignant diseases is feasible and safe. The rapid hematopoietic reconstruction after cotransplantation shows that MSCs have an effect on hematopeiesis, but the mechanism is still to be investigated.

Objective To explore the effects and indications of physical cooling in fever patients after bone fracture surgery.Methods 450 fever patients after bone fracture surgery were selected.They were divided into different groups according to ~e main influencing factors which affected the effect of physical cooling,including the temperature of sponge bathing,the degree of fever,clinical phases of fever.The influence of above factors on physical cooling was observed.Results The temperature for sponge bathing maintaining at 38～40 ℃(the experimental group) achieved better results than that at 32～34 ℃(the control group).Physical cooling at constant peak period of fever had better effect than that during the fervescence period,and the effect of sponge bathing treatment was better in mild fever patients than in high fever patients.Conclusions The single physical hypothermia only fit the patients following bone fracture surgery who had a fever below 38.5 ℃.Patients who had an infectious high fever should receive drug combination.Temperature of sponge bathing maintaining at 38～40 ℃,bathing timing at constant peak period of fever may get best cooling effect.

Objective To present the technique and short-term results of retroperitoneal laparoscopic renal cryoablation for small renal tumors. Methods Ten selected patients cases with 11 renal tumors were included in present study. There were 3 cases of left renal tumor, 6 cases of right renal tumor and 1 case of bilateral renal tumors. Tumors were located at the upper pole (2), middle (6), or lower pole (3). All tumors were located distant from the collecting system, without evidence of metastatic disease. Mean tumor size was 2. 8 cm (range: 1.5-4.0). All the patients were managed with a double freeze-thaw cycle of retroperitoneal laparoscopic renal cryoablation. The preoperative Hb was (137± 21)g/L, ESR was (27±12)mm/1 h, SCr was (92±41)μmol/L, GFR was (42±10)ml/min.All the patients were taken routine biopsies. Results Cryoablation was technically successful in all 10 patients (11 tumors). The mean time of the operations was (101 ± 31) min, and the mean blood loss was (42±21) ml. None of the cases received blood transfusion post-operation. No operative complication was seen. The postoperative hospital stay was (4±2) d. The postoperative Hb was (129 ±18)g/L,ESR was (31±14)mm/1 h,SCr was (95±39)μmol/L,GFR was (40±11)ml/min. There was no statistic change of Hb, ESR, SCr and ECT-GFR after operations(P＞0. 05). The biopsy results revealed that 8 tumors were renal clear cell carcinomas, and 2 tumors were papillary renal cell carcinomas, and 1 tumor was renal angiomyolipoma. All the patients had a minimum follow-up of 6 months (mean 16, range 6 to 21). Follow-up magnetic resonance imaging at 1, 3, and 6 months identified the punched-out, nonenhancing, spontaneously resorbing, renal cryolesions. Follow-up biopsie of the cryoablated tumor site was negative in the only patient who have undergone the biopsy. No evidence of local or port-site recurrence was found, and no metastatic disease. ConclusionsRetroperitoneal laparoscopic renal cryoablation for small renal tumors could be an accurate and effective intervention with a relatively low incidence of complications. Critical long-term data regarding laparoscopic renal cryoablation are awaited.
