Objective To evaluate the effects of antiviral therapy in prevention of tumor recurrence after curative treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Between Apr. 2006 and Jun. 2009,60 patients undergone curative treatment for HCC were enrolled in the retrospective analysis. Patients were assigned into four groups (15 each):patients in groupⅠ(serum HBV-DNA≥1.0?105copies/ml) and groupⅡ(serum HBV-DNA

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of community-based rehabilitation (CBR) on older stroke patients in ability of activities of daily living (ADL).Methods50 older stroke patients were randomly divided into the rehabilitation group and control group. The rehabilitation group was treated with motor function exercise and ADL training, while the control group only took medicine. Two groups were evaluated with Barthel index before and after treatment. ResultsScores of Barthel index on the rehabilitation group were higher than that on the control group after treatment, and there was a significantly difference between two groups (P<0.01). Conclusions CBR has the significant effect on improving ADL in older stroke patients.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of liver senescence model with senescence accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8), and to explore the possible mechanism of oxidative stress in the process of liver aging in SAMP8. Methods Male SAMP8 mice at the age of 9 months were chosen as research objects, and senescence accelerated mouse resistance 1 (SAMR1) mice were used for normal control. Histopathological changes in the liver of SAMR1 and SAMP8 mice were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE), Sudan Ⅳ and Masson staining. Senescence associated β-galactosidase activity was measured by histoehemical staining method, and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), eatalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in liver homogenate were examined by chemical colorimetry. Results Compared with SAMR1 group, the liver degenerative changes of SAMP8 mice were observed by microscopy, such as extensive fatty degeneration, focal necrosis of hepatocytes and inflammatory cells infiltration. Meanwhile, senescence associated β-galactosidase-positive cells were significantly increased in SAMP8 group [(78.1±11.0) vs.( 23.9±8.8),t=10.887, P<0.01]. In addition, the activities of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px in liver homogenate were decreased [SOD: (214.8 ± 34.8) vs. ( 295.3 ± 29.7), t = 4.975,P<0.01;CAT: (23.0±4.0) vs. ( 36.3±8.3),t=4.084,P<0.01;GSH-Px: (524.0±74.2) vs. (648. 4±102.8) ,t=2. 776, P<0. 05]and the level of MDA was markedly increased ((2.3±0.2) vs. (1.8±0. 1),t = 6. 329, P<0. 01]. Conclusions SAMP8 mice is a feasible animal model for the study of liver senescence, and oxidative stress may play an important role in the process of liver aging in SAMP8.

Based on the demand of nasal drug delivery high drug loadings, using the unique phase transfer of solute, integrating the phospholipid complex preparation and submicron emulsion molding process of Scutellariae Radix extract, the study obtained the preparation of the high drug loadings submicron emulsion of Scutellariae Radix extract. In the study of drug solution dispersion method, the uniformity of drug dispersed as the evaluation index, the traditional mixing method, grinding, homogenate and solute phase transfer technology were investigated, and the solute phase transfer technology was adopted in the last. With the adoption of new technology, the drug loading capacity reached 1.33% (phospholipid complex was 4%). The drug loading capacity was improved significantly. The transfer of solute method and timing were studied as follows,join the oil phase when the volume of phospholipid complex anhydrous ethanol solution remaining 30%, the solute phase transfer was completed with the continued recycling of anhydrous ethanol. After drug dissolved away to oil phase, the preparation technology of colostrum was determined with the evaluation index of emulsion droplet form. The particle size of submicron emulsion, PDI and stability parameters were used as evaluation index, orthogonal methodology were adopted to optimize the submicron emulsion ingredient and main influential factors of high pressure homogenization technology. The optimized preparation technology of Scutellariae Radix extract nasal submicron emulsion is practical and stable.
