OBJECTIVE:To study the identification problems of pharmacokinetic compartment models.METHODS:Problems of the identification of classical compartment models in single administration were systematically discussed by Laplace transformation method.RESULTS:The classical compartment models in single administration don't have the character of u-niqueness and the identification for which is a problem.CONCLUSION:The drug level in plasma and the concentration of drugs that distributed in organs were in a direct ratio under the condition of two kinds of unidentifiable classical compartment models,in that case,it has theoretic bases and significance to predict the concentration of drugs that distributed in organs or target organs by means of determining the drug concentration in plasma;if on the other hand,if two kinds of classical com-partment models are identifiable,the drug level in plasma and the concentration of drugs that distributed in organs or target organs wouldn't be in a proportional relationship,in this case,it is advisable to make sure the relationship between the drug le_ vel in plasma and the concentration of drugs that distributed in organs or target organs before predicting drug concentration that distributed in organs or target organs by means of monitoring the drug concentration in plasma;otherwise,it is baseless and meaningless.

Mild cognitive impairment(MCI)refers to cognitive regression which goes beyond one'S age and education level,but does not influence the activities of daily living.More than half patients with MCI will develop dementia within five years.Therefore,MCI is considered as a risk status of dementia.Early diagnosis of MCI prevents against patients developing dementia. Voxel-based morphometry(VBM)technique quantitatively calculates the size of global and local gray matter voxel and signal intensity.It is a full automatic analysis technique of objective brain morphology.This article reviews the application of VBM technique in patient with MCI.

Objective To explore the clinical value of early diagnosis of ovarian cancer by serum lysophosphatidic acid(LPA) and CA-125.Methods 50 patients with ovarian cancer from October 2005 to February 2008 were selected as ovarian cancer group,at the same period selected 44 patients with ovarian benign tumor(ovarian benign disease group),and 50 healthy women as the healthy control group.All patients were diagnosed and confirmed by preoperative blood and pathology.The serum LPA and CA-125 of two groups were detected.Results The serum LPA level and the positive rate in the ovarian cancer group was higher than that of the ovaries benign group or the control group(P＜0.05).The CA-125 level in the ovarian cancer group was similar to that of the ovaries benign group(P＞0.05),while the CA-125 level in the ovarian cancer group or the ovaries benign group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).The specificity of the LPA was better than that of the CA-125 detection.In the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer,the sensitivity of the combination(85.7%) was better than either of them(P＜0.01);the plasma LPA level and positive rate of CA-125 of the phase Ⅱ～Ⅳ ovarian cancer patients were higher than that of phase Ⅰ (P＜0.01);the CA-125 positive rate of the serious cystadenocarcinoma was higher than that of the cystadenocarcinoma(P＜0.01).Conclusion LPA is a sensitive biomarker for the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer,especially combined with CA-125.It should be widely used in clinic.

Objective To detect the level of the serum estradiol-2 (E_2), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with endometriosis (EMS) and explore their clinical significance. Methods Fifty-nine EMS patients from January 2006 to January 2009 were selected as EMS group and 60 normal women were selected as control group. The serum E_2,TNF-αand VEGF in EMS group 24 h pre-operation, 7 d post-operation and 6 months after operation were detected, and compared with control group. Results The levels of the serum E_2[(216.5 ± 59.7) ng/L],TNF- α [(30.4 ± 17.5) μg/L]and VEGF [(250.7 ± 88.7) ng/L]in EMS group pre-operation were significantly higher than those in control group [(100.2 ± 33.2) ng/L, (11.2 ± 3.6) μg/L, (103.2 ± 49.2) ng/L]and post-operation [(121.3±44.6) ng/L, (13.4 ± 6.2) μg/L, (153.9 ± 58.7) ng/L](P < 0.01). But there was no significant difference between control group and post-operation of EMS group (P > 0.05). The levels of the serum E_2 [(316.5 ± 77.6) ng/L],TNF-α [(51.1 ± 12.3) μg/L]and VEGF [(305.1±69.7) ng/L]with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ in EMS group were higher than those in control group or those with stage Ⅰ - Ⅱ [(170.7±48.2) ng/L, (25.8 ± 10.1) μ g/L, (169.2 ± 36.1) ng/L](P < 0.05 or < 0.01). The levels of the serum E_2,TNF- α and VEGF with stage Ⅰ - Ⅱ in EMS group were also higher than those in control group (P < 0.05). Nine patients recurred at 6 months after the operation. The levels of the serum E_2[(187.8 ± 46.7) ng/L],TNF- α [(23.9 ± 9.5) μg/L]and VEGF [(185.3 ± 57.4) ng/L]of the recurred EMS patients stepped up significantly higher than those of the non-recurred EMS patients [(112.7±30.3) ng/L, (13.2±4.7) μg/L, (116.4±30.3) ng/L](P < 0.01). While there was no significant difference between control group and non-recurred EMS patients (P >0.05). Conclusions The serum E_2,TNF-αand VEGF may play important roles in the development of the EMS. And the detection of the serum E_2,TNF-αand VEGF is useful to judge the patient's condition and the prognosis of the EMS.

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are a precursor cell of endothelium that has the ability of differentiation and proliferation. In given conditions, EPCs can be mobilized to the ischemic tissue to participate in repairing the injured blood vessels and angiogenesis, and EPCs are regarded as a marker of vascular reparative capacity. Studies in recent years have indicated that the changes of EPC number play an important role in the occurrence and prognosis of cerebral ischemia. As a potential therapeutic strategy, EPCs may be used in ischemic cerebrovascular disease. This article reviews the application progress of EPCs in ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

Radiotherapy plays a significant role in the treatment of lung malignant tumor.However,as the most main complication of radiotherapy used to treat lung malignant tumor,radiation-induced lung injury is an important influencing factor in impeding further and higher dose radiotherapy.Previous studies show that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the characteristics of self-replication,multiple differentiation,immunoregulation and directional migration. MSCs can help to repair many kinds of acute and chronic lung injury,meanwhile stem cell transplantation stimulates production of many cytokines to attenuate acute lung injury.So stem cell therapy provides a new kind of thinking in the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced lung injury.

Objective To study the changes in and correlations between the partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) and the coronary perfusion pressure during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) based on the cardiac arrest dog models of ventricular fibrillation by electric shock. Methods 36 healthy dogs were evenly randomized into 3 groups including 4 minutes close-chest CPR(CCCPR) group, 4 minutes open-chest CPR(OCCPR) group, and 8 minutes OCCPR group. There were 12 dogs in each group, half male and half female. In the process of CPR, all parameters about PETCO2 and CPP were recorded. Results In the 4 minutes CCCPR group, the correlation coefficient between the CPP and the PETCO2 was 0.992 (P<0.05), which was in positive linear correlation. In the 4 minutes OCCPR group, the correlation coefficient between the CPP and the PETCO2 was 0.937 (P < 0.05), which also showed positive linear correlation. In the 8 minutes OCCPR group, the correlation coefficient between the CPP and the PETCO2 was 0.952 (P<0.05), and was also in positive linear correlation. The percentage of ROSC was 66.7(8/12) in the 4 minutes CCOPR group, 100%(12/12) in the 4 minutes OCCPR group and 58.3%(7/12) in the 8 minutes OCCPR group. There were statistical differences in CPP, PETCO2 between models with ROSC and without ROSC at 1, 2, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mins of CPR (all P<0.05). Conclusions This research shows that there is a close positive linear relationship between the coronary perfusion pressure and the PETCO2, and PETCO2 could be used to evaluate the prognosis of the CPR.
