AIM: To investigate the effect of 17?-estradiol on insulin action in cultured C2C12 mytoblasts. METHODS: C2C12 mytoblasts were cultured in 35 mm wells of six-well culture plate in an atmosphere of 5% CO 2 at 37℃ in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and penicillin/streptomycin(1?10 5 U/L) to reach 80% confluence. Insulin-resistance C2C12 mytoblasts were obtained by incubating the cells for 24 hours in the presence of a high concentration (5?10 -7 mol/L) of insulin. After treatmented with 17?-estradiol (1 nmol/L and 10 nmol/L, respectively) for 24 hours, C2C12 mytoblasts were performed to measure insulin-stimulated 2-DG uptake and GS, PFK, PK activities. RESULTS: 17?-estradiol enhanced the capacity of insulin-stimulited 2-DG uptake, increased the GS, PFK and PK activities and prevented insulin-induced resistance in cultured C2C12 mytoblasts. CONCLUSION: 17?-estradiol potentiates insulin action and preventes insulin-induced resistance in cultured C2C12 mytoblasts.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of induction chemotherapy with nedaplatin and docetaxel plus concurrent intensity?modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT) with nedaplatin or cisplatin in the treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods A total of 223 patients with pathologically diagnosed locally advanced NPC in five treatment centers from 2011 to 2012 were randomly divided into two groups. In the test group, one hundred and thirteen patients received two cycles of induction chemotherapy with docetaxel (65 mg/ m2 on day 1) and nedaplatin (80 mg/ m2 on day 1) plus concurrent IMRT with nedaplatin (40 mg/ m2 on day 1). In the control group, 110 patients received two cycles of induction chemotherapy with the same regimens plus concurrent IMRT with cisplatin (40 mg/ m2 on day 1). The survival rates were calculated with the Kaplan?Meier method and the differences in the survival rates between the two groups were analyzed using the log?rank test. Comparison of the incidence rates of adverse reactions between the two groups was made by the chi?square test. Results The follow?up rate was 99?? 1%.The response rates at 3 months after treatment in the two groups were both 100%. The 2?year local recurrence?free, regional recurrence?free, distant metastasis?free, and overall survival rates were 94?? 0%, 94?? 2%, 88?? 2%, and 90?? 3%, respectively, in the test group, versus 93?? 4%, 94?? 1%, 86?? 7%, and 87?? 3% in the control group ( P= 0?? 757、 0?? 478、 0?? 509、 0?? 413). The incidence rates and severity of leucopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia were significantly higher in the test group than in the control group ( P= 0?? 027 , 0?? 028 , 0?? 035 ) . The incidence rates and severity of hemoglobin reduction and nausea /vomiting were significantly lower in the test group than in the control group (P= 0?? 000,0?? 023). There were no significant differences in the incidence rates of mucositis and xerostomia between the two groups ( P=0?? 483,0?? 781). Conclusions The short?term efficacy of induction chemotherapy with nedaplatin and docetaxel plus concurrent IMRT with nedaplatin is similar to that with cisplatin in the treatment of locally advanced NPC. The mild gastrointestinal reactions can be tolerated by patients. However, the severe myelosuppression should be closely monitored during the treatment.

Objective:To investigate the content and mode of pharmaceutical care for the patients with severe burn and promote the rational use of drugs. Methods:Taking the treatment for one patient with severe burn as example,pharmacists provided pharmaceu-tical care in respects of anti-infection therapy,organ preservation,nutritional support, drug interactions, drug precautions, drug incom-patibility, adverse drug reactions and the effect evaluation .

Objective To evaluate the treatment efficacy,toxicities and prognostic factors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( NPC ) treated with intensity modulated radiation oncology ( IMRT ).Methods Between January 2006 and August 2008,300 patients with pathologically diagnosed NPC from 6 center received IMRT.The number of patients with stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳa+b disease (UICC/AJCC 2002 staging system) were 6,45,141 and 108,respectively.The prescription doses were as follows:70-74 Gy/30f toplanning target volume of primary nasopharynx tumor ( PTVRλ),68-70 Gy/30f to planning target volume of positive lymphnode (ptvnd),60-64 Gy/30f to higher risk region (PTV1),50-54 Gy/30f to lower risk region (PTV2).Patients with stage Ⅲ and Ⅳa+b disease also received cisplatin-based chemotherapy.Cox method was used for Multivariate analysis.ResultsThe follow-up rate was 99.7％.The 4-year rate of local control,regional control,metastasis-free survival (DMFS),disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was 94.0％,95.5％,87.4％,80.8％,86.1％,respectively.Mucositis was the most severe acute toxicity,with 18.0％grade 1,48.7％grade 2,33.3％grade 3.No patient suffered from grade 4mucositis.Xerostomia was the most common late toxicity,with 12.0％ grade 0,75.7％ grade 1,12.3％grade 2.No grade 3-4 xerostomia was observed.There were 18,15 and 42 patients failed in local,regional and distant metastasis,respectively.Multivariate analysis showed that N stage was the only prognostic factor for OS (x2 =5.17,P=0.023),DMFS (x2 =6.91,P=0.009) and DFS (x2 =8.15,P=0.004) in these patients.ConclusionsIMRT can improve the treatment efficacy of NPC.The acute and late toxicities were tolerated.Distant metastasis becomes the main treatment failure.N stage is a significant prognostic factors.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) gene and polypeptide expression in cultured rat osteoblast (ROB) and the role of IGF-I in mediating the cell-to-cell communication by mimicking the pharmacokinetics of parathyroid hormone (PTH).

METHODSThe ROB was cultured with three kinds of treatment: (1) Control (Ctr), the cells were cultured without PTH during the first 6 hours and the subsequent 42 hours in a 48-hour cycle; (2) Intermittent exposure to PTH (Itm), the cells were cultured with PTH during the first 6 hours, but without PTH in the subsequent 42 hours; and (3) Continuous exposure to PTH (Ctu), the cells were cultured with PTH during the first 6 hours and the subsequent 42 hours.

RESULTSThe bone-forming activities of ROB were increased in Itm and inhibited in Ctu. The IGF-I mRNA content in Itm cells was elevated only during the first 6 hours and that in Ctu cells was elevated at any time during an incubation cycle. The free IGF-I concentration in the medium of Itm cells was generally higher and that of the Ctu cells was generally lower compared with those of the Ctr cells. The IGF-I antibody significantly reduced the alkaline phosphatase activity within the cells of Ctr and Itm.

CONCLUSIONSPTH rapidly and constantly stimulates the IGF-I gene transcription of osteoblast. There was an obvious discrepancy between the IGF-I mRNA content within the osteoblast and the free IGF-I level around the osteoblast in either mode of PTH action. The IGF-I might be important for osteoblast-osteoblast communication and bone-forming activity, not only in intermittent PTH administration, but also in the physiological functioning of osteoblasts.
