3. Correlation of expression of ER, PR and c-erbB-2 with ultrasonographic features in invasive ductal cancer of breast
Academic Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University 2010;22(4):273-276
Objective: To analyze the relationship of the expression level of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2, c-erbB-2) of breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) with ultrasonographic characteristics. Methods: Totally 104 patients with IDCs confirmed pathologically were involved in this study. ER, PR and c-erbB-2 expression in the IDC specimens was determined by immunohistochemical staining technique. The correlation between the ultrasonographic features and the positive expression of ER, PR or c-erbB-2 was analyzed. Results: The positive expression rate of ER and PR in the group with tumor spiculation sign and posterior acoustic attenuation was higher than that in the group without. The positive expression rate of ER differed significantly (P < 0.05) while that of PR did not (P>0.05). The over-expression rate of c-erbB-2 in the group of microcalcification, sufficient blood flow and axillary lymph node metastasis was higher than that in the group of non-microcalcification, deficient blood flow or without axillary lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). The expression of ER, PR and c-erbB-2 was not related to the size of tumor (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The expression of ER and c-erbB-2 is closely related to the ultrasonographic characteristics of IDC, which may, to some extent, reflect the expression level of ER and c-erbB-2.

Multi-target drugs can simultaneously adjust multiple links of the disease network. Despite the higher efficacy and lower toxicity caused by single targets, multi-target drugs become ideal drugs for treating complicated diseases as well the main direction of drug R & D. By virtue of their structural diversity, higher multi-target activity and lower toxicity, natural products become an important source for developing multi-target drugs. Computer-aided drug design (CADD) is a commonly used multi-target drug R&D method, which mainly includes virtual screening and pharmacophore design. In this paper, the authors made a systematical analysis and discussed the prospects and advantages of various methods for multi-target drug R&D with natural products.

7. Determination of lamivudine in placental perfusate by employing ultra fast liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2013;48(24):2158-2161
OBJECTIVE: To develop a method for determining the concentration of lamivudine in placental perfusate by employing ultra fast liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-MS/MS). METHODS: Famotidine was used as the internal standard. After protein precipitation with acetonitrile, the chromatography was performed on a Shim-pack XR-ODS II C18 column (2.0 mm × 75 mm, 2.2 μm) with mobile phase consisting of methanol and 10 mmol · L-1 ammonium acetate, gradient elution was used, and the flow rate was 0.4 mL · min-1. Tandem mass spectrometric detection was conducted by using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in positive ionization mode with an electrospray ionization interface. RESULTS: The calibration curve of lamivudine was linear in the range of 1-2500 ng · mL-1. The intra- and inter-batch RSDs were less than 10%. The method recovery was more than 72%. CONCLUSION: The method is rapid and accurate, which is suitable for the determination of lamivudine in placental perfusate.
8.Effect of early systematic rehabilitation on the functional recovery in patients after replantation of severed digit
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2006;12(1):60-61
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of early systemic rehabilitation trainings on the function recovery in patients after replantation of severed digit. Methods21 patients were planned systemic rehabilitation trainings more than 2 months after operation. Total Active Measurement (TAM) and Two Points Distance (2-PD) were used for the assessment of motor and sensory function. Employment situation were also followed-up after being discharged from hospital. ResultsThe omni-efficiency of motor and sensory function of the 21 cases was 92.3% and 88.5%. 19 cases of them returned to the original work, 2 cases changed another work. ConclusionThe early systemic rehabilitation trainings are very useful for the hands function and vacation ability of the patients after replantation of severed digit.

Background and purpose:Ovarian cancer is associated with a high recurrence and mortality due to the existence of cancer stem cells. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of casticin (CAS) on the capability of self-renewal in ovarian cancer stem cell like cells (OCSLCs) derived from SKOV3 cell line. Methods:SKOV3 cell line cells were cultured in vitro, and OCSLCs were obtained and amplified through suspended culture with conditioned medium of the stem cells. The phosphorylation level of FoxO3a was analyzed using Western blot. The protein expression of FoxO3a was inhibited by FoxO3a speciifc siRNA transfection, and then the ratio of sphere-formation was detected. Results: Compared with parental cells, OCSLCs over-expressed phosphorylated FoxO3a (pFoxO3a) and had elevated ratio of sphere-formation [(3.1±0.3)% vs (34.8±6.8)%, P<0.05]. CAS significantly inhibited the capability of sphere-formation in OCSLCs and down-regulated the expression level of pFoxO3a. And the transfection of FoxO3a speciifc siRNA suppressed the protein expression of FoxO3a and attenuated the inhibitory effect of CAS on the sphere-formation of OCSLCs. Conclusion: Reduced expression level of pFoxO3a is involved in the effect that CAS inhibits sphere-formation of OCSLCs derived from SKOV3 cell line.

To study the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) between the stuctures of 29 flavonoids and the inhibitory activity of their multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) 1 and 2 by using the comparative molecular similarity index analysis (CoMSIA). By studying the impact of the combination of different molecular force fields, researchers obtained the molecular force fields that played an important role in inhibiting the activity of MRP1 and MRP2, built the optimized QSAR model, and discussed the structural modification method for flavonoids' multidrug resistance-associated protein inhibitor. The results of the study could not only provide the guidance for new drug R&D, but also help partially discuss the synergy mechanism between MRP1 and MRP2 receptors and traditional Chinese medicines containing flavonoids.
