Objective: To observe the effect of DSP on three models of memory dysfunction,so as to provide evidence for its potential therapeuticaction for senile dementia.Methods: Three kinds of memory dysfunction are induced by scopolamine,reserpine and ovariectomy respectively,and memory ability is measured through step through and water maze tests.Meanwhile AchE activity in front cortex, hippocampus,striatum and limlic lobe of rats injected scopalamine is determined.Results: DSP can significantly prolong the step through latency,and decrease AchE activity in different parts of rats injeted scopalamine.And DSP can remarkably prolong latency,and increase uterus index of mice after ovariectomy.On the other hand,DSP can shorten water maze latency,enhance the correction percentage of mice injected reserpine.Conclusions:DSP can improve the memory dysfunction possibly through below pathways:(1)enhance the cholinergic system;(2)antagonize the decrease of monoamino transmitter;(3)has the possible estrogen like action.

BACKGROUNDPharmacological therapy has been considered as the first-line treatment for patients with uncomplicated benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tamsulosin compared with a placebo for treating BPH.

METHODSThe randomized placebo-controlled trials (RCT) of tamsulosin for the treatment of BPH from all over the world were searched. PubMed, Ovid, ScienceDirect, EBSCO, CBM, and CNKI were searched, as well as a manual search of four Chinese journals: Chinese Journal of Andrology, National Journal of Andrology, Chinese Journal of Urology, and Journal of Clinical Urology was also performed. Two reviewers independently screened the studies for eligibility, evaluated the quality and extracted the data from the eligible studies, with confirmation by cross-checking. Divergences of opinions were settled by discussion. Meta-analysis was processed by Rev Man 5.0 software, fail-safe number was performed by SAS8.0 software.

RESULTSSeven RCTs involving 2455 men met the inclusion criteria. The basic characteristics of patients were comparable in all the studies. Comparing three common criteria: international prostate symptom score (IPSS)/Boyarsky symptom score, maximum flow rate (MFR), quality of life (QOL), tamsulosin was better than placebo at improving IPSS and MFR, with no significant difference in the QOL. Adverse events of tamsulosin also showed no significant difference from the placebo group (Z=1.62, P=0.10, OR=1.22, 95% CI 0.96-1.54).

CONCLUSIONSTamsulosin is better than placebo at improving IPSS and MFR. Adverse events of tamsuloisn show no significant difference compared with placebo. More high quality trials with larger samples and longer follow-up are proposed.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare transferrin modified paclitaxel-loaded liposome(TF-PTX-LP),and to study the tumor in-hibition effect. METHODS:TF-PTX-LP was prepared by thin-film method,and morphology of TF-PTX-LP was observed. Qualita-tive and quantitative investigation were used to value the uptake efficiency of TF-LP and LP by HepG2 cells. The proliferation inhi-bition rate of HepG2 cells was investigated after treated with PTX,PTX-LP and TF-PTX-LP for 24,48 and 72 h. Tumor spheres were prepared by using HepG2 cells. Effects of normal saline,PTX,PTX-LP and TF-PTX-LP on the volume of tumor spheres were investigated after 0,1,2,4,5,6 and 7 d treatment. HepG2 tumor-bearing nude mice model was induced. Inhibitory effects of normal saline,PTX,PTX-LP and TF-PTX-LP(8.5 mg/kg by PTX)on transplantable tumor of tumor-bearing nude mice were in-vestigated. RESULTS:TF-PTX-LP showed uniform spherical shape,with particle size of 100-120 nm. The fluorescence intensity of HepG2 cells treated with TF-LP was stronger than that treated with LP(P<0.01). Compared with PTX and PTX-LP,TF-PTX-LP showed higher proliferation inhibition rate(P<0.01). Compared with normal saline,PTX and PTX-LP,tumor spheres were small-er in volume after treated with TF-PTX-LP,and inhibition rate of tumor was higher in tumor-bearing nude mice;there were statisti-cal significance after treated for 6,7 d(P<0.01). The proliferation inhibition rate and tumor spheres volume changed in time-de-pendent manner. CONCLUSIONS:TF-PTX-LP which owns good tumor inhibition effect is prepared successfully.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mechanism of the pulmonary injury in rats caused by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) and to investigate the intervention effect of Edaravone. METHOD: Ninety-six male Wistar rats were divided into four groups randomly: the control group (NC), chronic intermittent hypoxia group (CIH), chronic intermittent hypoxia normal saline matched group (NS), chronic intermittent hypoxia edaravone treatment group (NE). The four groups were also divided into 1, 2, 3, 4 W time subgroups, and each time subgroup had 6 rats. After the experiment, sections of pulmonary were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and the level of SOD, MDA, PO2 and Ang II mRNA in rat homogenate pulmonary were measured. RESULT: Pulmonary histology revealed that the CIH group showed high levels of interstitial edema, alveolar atelectasis, inflammatory cell infiltration of alveolar epithelial cell, pulmonary injury were serious in 1, 2, 3, 4 W. But the pulmonary histology of the UC group and the NS group was normal. Compared with the NS group, pulmonary injury of NE group 1, 2, 3, 4 W, significantly decreased. Compared with the NC group, the levels of PO2 in the CIH group were decreased; while the compared with the NS group, the levels of PO2 in the NE group were increased. Compared with the UC group and NS group, the levels of Ang II mRNA in each time point in CIH group were increased gradually (P < 0.05), the content of MDA were increased in 1, 2, 3, 4 W (P < 0.05), they had reached the peak all at 4 W; while the SOD in each time point in CIH group were decreased gradually (P < 0.05) compared with that in UC group and NS group; The Ang II mRNA levels of CIH in pulmonary showed positive correlation with MDA [r = 0.782,P < 0.01]; while the Ang II mRNA levels of CIH in pulmonary showed negative correlation with SOD [r = - 0.904, P < 0.01]. CONCLUSION CIH can cause pulmonary injury through oxidative stress and activating Ang II, and Edaravone could prevent pulmonary injury induced by CIH through scavenging oxygen free radicals.
