Biodegradable polymers as drug delivery systems have attracted investigators. They degrade in biological fluids to produce biocompatible and nontoxic products, which could be removed from the body by normal physiological pathways without extra surgical removal. In this article, literatures on biodegradable polymers mainly served as matrix in controlled release systems are analyzed and reviewed.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the of non-gonococcal urethritis(NGU) secretion in patients with urogenital mycoplasma infection and drug sensitivity status to provide the basis for clinical rational drug use.METHODS The mycoplasma culturing,identification,counting and drug sensitivity test to 12 kinds of antimicrobial drugs were conducted among 279 cases of NGU patients and the sensitivity of mycoplasma was monitored by retrospectively statistical analysis.RESULTS A total of 162 strains were isolated from 279 cases with NGU(58.1%).Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu) was found in 115 cases(70.9%),Mycoplasma hominis(Mh) positive in 9 cases(5.6%) and 38 cases were with mixed infection(23.5%).The sexually active population of 21-35-year-old was with the highest incidence,accounted for 53.7% from all of NGU cases.The sensitivity to minocycline,Tetracycline,of were higher but resistant to Erythromycin,sparfloxacin Mycoplasma.CONCLUSIONS Uu is the major pathogens in NGU patients,minocycline and tetracycline treatment for mycoplasma infection is better choice.The NGU pathogen detection and drug sensitivity test are important for guiding clinical treatment in order to maximize control of the emergence of resistant strains particularly important.

AIM: To investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of methylflavonolamine (MFA) on myocardial injury induced by adriamycin in mice. METHODS: The myocardial injury was induced by adriamycin (ADR) 1.5 mg?kg -1 ip once every two days for ten days in mice. All mice were taken the electrocardiogram examination before given drugs. The mice with abnormal electrocardiogram were excluded prior to the experiment. The degree of J point elevation, the prolonged degree of the QRS complex duration and the Q T interval, the change of contents of serum creatine phosphokinase (CK), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), myocardial malondialdehyde (MDA), and the activity of myocardial superoxide dismutase (SOD) were observed in control and treated groups. The contents of serum CK and LDH were measured by spectrophotometry, and the content of myocardial MDA was measured by TBA method and the activity of myocardial SOD by hydroxylamine method. RESULTS: The J point was elevated, the Q T interval and the duration of QRS complex were prolonged and the contents of serum CK and LDH were increased in mice with acute myocardial injury induced by ADR, suggesting that a widespread and severe myocardial cell injury occurred in the prepared models. While all these injury indices were reversed by MFA treatment. The content of myocardial MDA was increased and the activity of myocardial SOD was decreased in mice with myocardial injury, and MFA decreased the MDA content and increased the SOD activity, indicating that it possesses the actions of scavenging free oxygen radicals and anti lipoperoxidation. CONCLUSIONS: MFA significantly alleviates the degree of the acute myocardial injury in mice induced by ADR. Its mechanism may be associated with reducing oxygen free radical production and anti lipoperoxidation.

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and the optimal management of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP) with pregnancy and the related high risk factors with neonatal passive immune thrombocytopenia(PIT) occurring in infants born to mothers with ITP. Methods Medical records of 40 pregnant women with ITP and their neonatal outcomes were reviewed retrospectively from 1992.2 to 2001.8 in our hospital. Results The incidence of pregnancy with ITP was 3.4‰. The maternal complications included pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome (17.5%), postpartum hemorrhage (15%), preterm labor (12.5%), gestational diabetes(7.5%) and FGR (7.5% ). One mother died at 36 weeks of gestational age. There were 13 cases delivered by vagina and 27 cases delivered by cesarean section. Nine neonates(28.1%)had neonatal PIT, Among them three neonates (9.3%) had severe PIT, One neonate(2.5%) had an intracranial hemorrhage(ICH) and two perinatal death (5%)occured in 40 neonates. No significant correlation was found between neonatal platelet counts and maternal platelet counts, maternal PAIgG values and maternal treatments respectively. Conclusion The prognosis of mothers and neonates in pregnancy with ITP are better. The incidence of severe fetal or neonatal PIT is low and not related to maternal platelet counts, maternal treatments and PAIgG values.

Objective To investigate the etiology and perinatal outcome of pregnancies complicated with extremely severe thrombocytopenia [ at least two times of platelets count (PLT) < 10 × 109/L during pregnancy]. Methods Clinical data, including basic information, etiology, management and outcomes of pregnant women with extremely severe thrombocytopenia, admitted to Peking University People's Hospital from January 2004 to March 2009, were retrospectively collected. The management of these cases varied according to different etiology and the symptoms: (1) PLT were maitained > 20 × 109/L and hemoglobulin> 70 g/L in those women without spontaneous bleeding; (2) PLT transfusion would be required when PLT< 10 × 109/L or bleeding occur and RBC would be supplied when hematocrit <25% and hemoglobulin <70g/L; (3) Hemoglobulin should be > 70 g/L and PLT >30 × 109/L before cesarean section or delivery;(4) Predinisone and/or intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) would be given in women complicated with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) when PLT < (20-30) × 109/L or bleeding. PLT would be given if all the above management were failed, or PLT < 10 × 109/L, or bleeding. Women without bleeding would be closely monitored and delivery would be planned. Results (1) Twenty-six cases were identified among 9302 deliveries during the study period (0.28%), with an average of maternal age of 29. Seventeen were diagnosed before conception and 9 during pregnancy. Among the 26 women, half received regular prenatal check in our hospital and the average gestations at diagnosis was 24 weeks and the other half without regular prenatal visits and the average gestations at diagnosis was 32 weeks. Etiology was identified in 24 out of the 26 women, including 14(54%) ITP, 5 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), 4 chronic aplastic anaemia(CAA) and 1 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). (2) Management: All of the 26 women received blood products. Among the 14 ITP cases, 6 received predinisone and IVIG and 8 only took predinisone. Nine of the 26 patients (35%) had pregnant complications, among which 6 (6/9) were preeclampsia. The overall average gestation at delivery was 36 weeks. Only 2 delivered vaginally with the average blood loss of 83 ml and 23 cesarean sections were performed with the average blood loss of 410 ml. (3) Perinatal outcomes:There were 26 perinatal babies, among which 1 died intrauterine and 25 were born alive (12 preterm infants). The average birth weight was 2877 g. Neonatal severe thrombocytopenia presented in 2 newborns whose mother complicated with ITP. Conclusions The main cause of extremely severe thrombocytopenia during pregnancy is ITP, managed mainly by predinisone and IVIG, followed by CAA and MDS, which may require supportive treatment. Pregnancy complicated with extremely severe thrombocytopenia is not an indication of termination. Better maternal and fetal outcomes can be achieved through proper treatment based on the etiology, intensive care in prevention and management of complications and cesarean section.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different doses of compound Xuelian capsule on bone cancer pain (BCP) in rats.Methods Fifty pathogen-free adult female Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-220 g,aged 7-8 weeks,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =10 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),group BCP,and compound Xuelian capsule 50,100 and 200 mg · kg-1 · d-1 groups (group CX50,group CX100 and group CX200).BCP was produced by injecting Walker256 mammary gland carcinoma cells into the intramedullary space of the right femur bone.At 11-21 days after inoculation of the tumor ceils,normal saline containing compound Xuelian capsule 50,100 and 200 mg · kg 1 · d 1 was injected through a tube into stomach once a day in CX50,CX100 and CX200 groups,respectively.The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and limb use score were measured at 1 day before inoculation of the tumor cells (baseline) and 4,7,11,14,17,19,and 21 days after inoculation of the tumor cells.Results Compared with group S,the MWT at 4-21 days after inoculation of the tumor cells was significantly decreased,and limb use score was significantly decreased at 11-21 days after inoculation of the tumor cells in BCP,CX50,CX100 and CX200 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group BCP,the MWT was significantly increased at 19-21 days after inoculation in group CX50,at 17-21 days after inoculation in group CX100 and at 14-21 days after inoculation in group CX200,and limb use score was significantly increased at 14-21 days after inoculation in group CX100 and at 17-21 days after inoculation in group CX200 (P＜0.05).Conclusion Compound Xuelian capsule 50,100 and 200 mg· kg 1 · d 1 (for 11 consecutive days) can reduce BCP in a dose-dependent manner in rats.

OBJECTIVE:To determinate the metabolites of ranolazine in rats by LC-MSn.METHODS:Rats were given 80 mg?kg-1 ranolazine by i.g.During 0～24 h after intragastrical administration,the sample of urine was collected and extracted by solid phase column.Extracts were determined by LC-MSn.The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile,10 mmol?L-1ammonium acetate and glacial acetic acid at a flow rate of 0.5 mL?min-1.Fragmentation ions of ranolazine and its metabolites were determined in positive electrospray ionization by using MS,MS2 and MS3 full scans.RESULTS:Twelve phaseⅠ metabolites (O-demethylation,O-dearylation,hydroxylation,N-dealkylation and amide hydrolysis) and nine phase Ⅱ metabolites(O-glucuronidation and sulfation) were found in the sample.CONCLUSION:Ranolazine is extensively metabolized in rats.

Objective The normothermic isolated contracting rat heart model was used to investigate the mechanism of protective effect of propofol on left ventricular function and myocardial metabolism against ischemia-reperfusion injury by determination of the catecholamme concentration in the coronary outflow. Methods forty healthy male SD rats weighing 310-450 g were randomly divided into 4 groups of each 10 animals: control group, propofol 10?mol/L (P10), 50?mol/L (P50) and 100?mol/L (P100). The animal were sacrificed by knock-out and the heart was immediately removed. The aorta was connected to a Larigendorff apparatus and retrogradely perfused with oxygenated (95% O, and 5% CO2) Krebs-Henseleit buffer (KHB) for 5 min. Then the left ventricle was perfused through a cannula inserted in pulmonary vein at a constant pressure of 12.5 cm H2O (preload). The pressure at aorta outflow was 90 cm H2O (afterload). Different concentrations of propofol in KHB were prepared. Global ischemia of the heart was induced by suspension of perfusion for 25 min followed by 30 min reperfusion. Coronary flow (CF), aortic flow (AF), cardiac output (CO = AF + CF), HR, left ventricular peak systolic pressure (LVPSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP = LVPSP-LVEDP) and the product of LVDP and HR were measured and recorded 5 min and immediately before ischemia and 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 min following reperfusion. Coronary outflow was collected for determination of creatine kinase (CK) and catecholamine ( epinephrine, norepinephrine and dopamine) concentrations.Results Before ischemia CF was significantly higher and CO, HR, LVPSP and LVDP ? HR were significantly lower in the 3 propofol groups in comparison with the controls. During reperfusion CF, CO, HR, LVPSP and LVEDP recovered much better in the propofol groups than those in control group. In group P50 LVDP ? HR reached 88.7% of the pre-ischemic value while in control group only 56.3% . The CK and catecholamine concentrations were not significantly different among the 4 groups before ischemia. During reperfusion CK, epinephrine and noeepinepherine concentrations were significantly lower in propofol groups than in control group (P

Objective To investigate the etiology and clinical characteristics of pregnancy-emerged thrombocytopenia.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 159 pregnancies with thrombocytopenia,who were admitted to Peking University People's Hospital from January 2000 to January 2010.All the patients recruited in this study had no history of blood or immune system disease before pregnancy,and thrombocytopenia was the predominate clinical manifestation during pregnancy,with platelet counts less than 100 × 109/L at least twice during pregnancy.The thrombocytopenia should not be induced by drugs,viral infections,preeclampsia or hemolysis,elevated liver enzymes,and low platelets syndrome (HELLP).All cases were followed up.The general condition,the onset time of thrombocytopenia,platelet changes,accompany symptoms,maternal and perinatal outcomes as well as follow-up conditions were compared based on the etiology.Results ( 1 ) Etiology:among the 159 cases,101 (63.5％) were diagnosed gestational thrombocytopenia (GT) ;43 ( 27.0％ ) were idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP) ;9 ( 5.7％ ) were blood system diseases,including 4 cases of megaloblastic anemia( MA ),2 cases of aplastic anaemia (AA),and 3 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS).Six cases (3.8％)were diagnosed immune system diseases,including 3 cases of systemic lupus erythematosus ( SLE),2 cases of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS),and 1 case of Evans syndrome.(2)Maternal and perinatal outcomes:pregnancy induced hypertension was diagnosed in 21 cases ( 13.2％ ),abnormal glucose metabolism in 13 cases ( 8.2％ ),anemia in 44 cases ( 27.7％ ) and preterm delivery in 18 cases ( 11.3％ ).Twenty-nine cases ( 18.2％ ) were treated with corticosteroids or gamma globulin during pregnancy.The average gestational week was 38 weeks.Fifty-five cases ( 34.6％ ) underwent vaginal delivery,104 cases ( 65.4％ ) received cesarean section.Postpartum hemorrhage was observed in 34 cases (21.4％),and puerperal infection happened in 2 eases ( 1.3％ ).No maternal death was found.In a total of 160 fetuses (including twins),there were 157 live births.Three cases of fetal death and 2 cases of early neonatal deaths were observed.Fetal growth restriction was observed in 4 cases,and neonatal thrombocytopenia was seen in 6 cases.No intracranial hemorrhage was detected.(3)The onset time of thrombocytopenia:among the 159 cases,29 cases ( 18.2％ ),67 cases (42.1％ ),63 cases (43.6％) of thrombocytopenia were detected in the first,second and third trimester,respectively.There was a significant difference of the onset time of thrombocytopenia between GT and ITP groups( P ＜ 0.05 ).Patients with GT tended to have a later onset of thrombocytopenia,which mainly happened in the second and third trimester,while patients with ITP tended to happen in the first and second trimester.(4)The degree of thrombocytopenia:the cases with the minimum platelets level of (51 - 100) × 109/L,(31 - 50) × 109/L,( 10 - 30) × 109/L,＜ 10 × 109/L during pregnancy were 75 (47.2％ ),39 (24.5％ ),31 ( 19.5％ ),14( 8.8％ ) respectively.There was a significant difference between GT and ITP groups in the lowest platelets level (P ＜ 0.01 ).(5)Thrombocytopenia accompany with anemia:among the 159 cases,there were 44 cases (27.7％ ) accompanied with anemia.The proportion was 9.9％ ( 10/101 ) in GT group,58.1％ (25/43) in ITP group,with significant difference(P ＜0.01 ).Anemia was also found in 5 cases in blood system disease group (5/9),and 1 case in immune system disease group (Evans syndrome,1/6).Pancytopenia was observed in 2 cases with ITP (4.7％,2/43 ) and 3 cases with blood system disease ( AA:1 cases,MA:2 cases,3/9).(6) The recovery of the platelets counts postpartum:the postpartum follow-up periods were 7 months to 10 years.Patients recovered within 1 week,6 weeks,6 months postpartum were 66 cases ( 41.5％ ),43 cases ( 27.0％ ),17 cases ( 10.7％ ) respectively.The platelets counts did not recover within 6 months postpartum in 33 cases(45.7％ ).Conclusions GT is the leading cause of pregnancy-emerged thrombocytopenia followed by ITP.There are significant differences between GT and ITP in the onset time of thrombocytopenia,the lowest platelets level,the proportion of anemia accompanied and the postpartum recovery.Other etiologies including immune and blood system diseases are rare.The relevant examinations should be taken for etiology and differential diagnosis.
