Pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, clinical study and safety of dapagliflozin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus were reviewed in the paper. As a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, dapagliflozin can reduce HbA1c, FPG and body weight of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The main adverse reaction is genital infection. The antihypertensive effect of dapagliflo-zin is still under study at present.

Objective:To examine the osmolality of domestic recombinant human interferon α2b injection to provide evidence for the improvement of the national quality standard. Methods:Totally 66 batches of recombinant human interferonα2b injection produced by 9 manufacturers were withdrawn, and the osmolality was determined according to the appendix of Chinese Pharmacopoeia Ⅲ(2010 edition). The results were analyzed with statistical methods. Results:The pass rate of osmolality was 98. 5%. The osmolality of more than 90% of the batches was between 85% and 115% of the intermediate value set by the manufacturers. Conclusion:Comprehensive understanding of the quality control of osmolality of domestic recombinant human interferon α2b injection is obtained, which provides data support for the improvement of quality standard of osmolality.

Objective To investigate expression and significance of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2),MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1) in rats with glomerular sclerosis made by doxorubicin.Methods Forty Wistar male rats(8-week-old) were randomly assigned into 2 groups:sham operated and model groups.Rats in model group were nephrectomized after anesthesia and injected with adriamycin(5 mg/kg) after 1 week.Rats in sham operated group was subjected to sham operation and injected with normal saline after 1 week through the tail vein.All rats were killed in the 12th week.Immuno-histochemistry was performed on renal tissue to detect Collagen Ⅳ(Col-Ⅳ),fibronectin(FN),MMP-2,-9 and TIMP-1.Results Immunohistochemistry staining indicated that expressions of MMP-2,-9 in model group decreased significantly compared to sham operated group(Pa

Objective To study the expression of ?-smooth muscle actin(?-SMA)in glomerulosclerosis rats and its relationship with renal function.Methods Forty healthy Wistar rats were equally divided into 2 groups including sham operated group and model control group.Rats in model groups were uninephrectomized and injected with daunorubicin(5 mg/kg)after 1 week through the tail vein.Twenty-four hours of urinary protein excretion,serum creatinine(Scr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN)were measured at the 12th week.Renal pathology was evaluated.Immunohistochemistry(SupervisionTM)was performed on renal glomeruli tissue to detect the expression of ?-SMA.Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was used to examine the expression levels of ?-SMA mRNA in glomeruli.SPSS 13.0 software was used to analyze the two variables.Results In model control group,the urinary protein,Scr,BUN significantly increased(Pa

Objective To study the effect of Corylin on A375 cells melanin synthesis,and explore its mechanism.Methods The cells were randomly divided into the control group, the estradiol group, and corylin group including 10-3μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 10μmol/L, 100μmol/L. Estradiol estradiol intervention group were given 10-3 mol/L. Corylin group (10-3μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 10μmol/L,100μmol/L) were given 10-3μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 10μmol/L, 100μmol/L corylin intervention. The activity of proliferation were detected by MTT, NaOH method, dopa oxidation , both melanin content and tyrosinase activity (tyrosinase, TYR). TYR, yrosinase related protein (tyrosinase related protein, TRP)-1 and TRP-2 expression levels of mRNA were determined by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the control group, 10, 100μmol/L of Corylin group cell proliferation rate significantly decreased (P<0.01). The 1μmol/L, 10-1μmol/L, 10-2μmol/L of Corylin group cell melanin content, TYR significantly decreased (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The 1μmol/L corylin group TYR (0.303 ± 0.003vs. 0.628 ± 0.012), TRP-1 (0.313 ± 0.008 vs. 0.677 ± 0.022), TRP-2 (0.456 ± 0.028vs. 0.687 ± 0.020) mRNA expression level significantly decrease (P<0.01).Conclusions The results showed that Corylin could inhibit melanin synthesis, which worked probably through inhibiting the activity of TYR and cutting the mRNA expressions of TYR,TRP-1/2.

Objective: To evaluate the quality status of recombinant human interferon α2a injections and find out some quality problems. Methods:The statutory testing methods combining with the exploratory studies were used to examine the samples, and the quality status of recombinant human interferon α2a injections was evaluated by statistical analysis of the results. Results: All 28 bat-ches of the injections were qualified using the statutory testing methods. The exploratory studies showed that if the specific activity was determined, the qualified rate was only 87. 0%. All 7 batches of drug substances were qualified using the statutory testing methods. The exploratory studies showed that if the related protein was determined, the qualified rate was 57. 1%. Conclusion:At present the quality of recombinant human interferonα2a injections is generally good. The current standards are feasible;however, improvement is still needed. Specific activity determination should be supplemented the standards for drug products and related protein determination should be supplemented the standards of drug substances.

Objective To investigate relationship of platelet (PLT) count with clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with breast cancer,and explore the susceptibility index to evaluate prognosis of patients with breast cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 498 patients with breast cancer in January 1995 to December 2005 was carried out.PLT count was tested.Those patients were divided into group A (PLT ＜ 150 × 109/L),group B[(150-250) × 109/L],and group C (PLT ＞ 250 × 109/L) according to PLT count level.The relationship of platelet count with clinicopathological features was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards model were used for univariate analysis and multivariate analysis of PLT impact on survival time.Results There was positively correlated between PLT count and clinicopathological features (Pearson coefficient ＞ 0,P ＜ 0.05).There was negative correlated between PLT count and survival time (Pearson coefficient =-O.583,P ＜ 0.05).The survival time of groups A,B and C were significantly different (P =0.018).Cox proportional hazards model multi-factor analysis showed that PLT count was an independent factors affecting survival time (OR =2.256,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Patients with breast cancer associated with increased emphasis and PLT count.PLT count had negative correlation with survival time.PLT count could be a susceptible index to predict the prognosis of patients with breast cancer.

Platelet is activated through signal transduction, that mainly includes phospholipase-beta (PLCbeta) pathway, protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) pathway, phosphatidylinositol3-kinase (PI3-K) pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway, cyclic adenosine monophosphate-protein kinase A (cAMP-PKA) pathway and phospholipase A2 (PLA2) pathway. This article focuses on the relationship between signal transduction and platelet activation.
