It is the objective of this paper to study pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics (PK-PD) characteristics of ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 on the effect of inducing nitric oxide (NO) release after intravenous administration of Shengmai injection to rats with myocardial ischemia. The model of myocardial ischemia rats was produced by subcutaneous injection of isoproterenol. The serum samples were collected at different time points after intravenous administration of Shengmai injection to rats with the dose of 10.8 mL x kg(-1). The concentrations of ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 in serum were determined, and then the concentration-time curves were drawn. Pharmacokinetic parameters of ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 were calculated after the construction of pharmacokinetic models. Meanwhile, NO2- and NO3-, the metabolites of NO, in serum were determined, and then the effect-time curve was drawn. The combined PK-PD model was established based on the theory of effect compartment by Sheiner et al. Then pharmacodynamic parameters were calculated. The results indicated that the pharmacokinetics of ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 conformed to a two-compartment model. Ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 exhibited quick and slow elimination in rats respectively. The effect of Shengmai injection on inducing NO release did not relate directly with and lagged behind the concentrations of ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 in serum. The effect exhibited good correlation with ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 levels in effect compartment. The relationship between effect and serum concentration fits Sigmoid-E(max) model. This study successfully established the combined PK-PD model of ginsenoside Rg1 and Rb1 after intravenous administration of Shengmai injection to rats. The model can efficiently predict the concentration and effect of Shengmai injection in vivo.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prognostic factors of young, middle-age and old-age colorectal cancer patients in order to improve the treatment in the future.
METHODSColorectal cancer patients (n = 842) who had undergon curative resection were divided into three groups according their age: young group (< or = 40 years), middle-age group (41 to 64 years) and old group (> o = 65 years). Thirty-five clinical factors in the three groups were analyzed and compared by univariate survival and multivariate analysis. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used with SPSS statistic software.
RESULTSThe overall 5-, 10- and 15-year survival rates were 66.3%, 54.2% and 48.5% respectively. The 5- and 10-year survival rates were 53.0% and 42.7% in the young group, which were lower than those in the other two groups. Cox proportional hazards regression model demonstrated that Dukes stage and family history of cancer were common prognostic factors in both young and middle-age groups; chronic constipation was an independent prognostic factor in middle-age group; bowel obstruction, length of operating time and number of metastatic lymph nodes were prognostic factors in the older group. In the young group, the symptomatic duration was not demonstrated as a prognostic factor. The 5- and 10-year survival rates were 82.6% and 64.5% in Dukes A stage; 73.3% and 67.4% in B stage; 37.3% and 27.0% in C stage; 33.3% and 22.2% in D stage. The survival rates in Dukes A and B stages were similar, but in Dukes C and D stages they were lower than those of the middle-age and older groups if the patient had the same stage of disease. In the young colorectal cancer patients with family cancer history, the 5- and 10-year survival rates were 73.1% and 64.5%, which were better than those of patients without it (48.1% and 37.3%).
CONCLUSIONIn young colorectal cancer patients, the survival rate is lower than those in the middle-age and old patients. Family cancer history and/or advanced Dukes stage are poor prognostic factors, whereas the symptomatic duration is not demonstrated as a poor prognostic factor. The prognostic factors affecting the survival after surgical treatment may be different in different age groups of colorectal cancer patients.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the mutational features of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene and to explore the effect of mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency on its mutations in hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancers (HNPCC).
METHODSPCR-based in vitro synthesized protein test (IVSP) assay and sequencing analysis were used to confirm somatic mutations of whole APC gene in 19 HNPCC patients.
RESULTSEleven cases with thirteen mutations were determined. The frequency of APC mutation was 58%(11/19). The exhibiting mutations consisted of 9 frameshift mutations and 4 nonsense ones, indicating the existence of more frameshift mutations (69%). All of frameshift mutations were deletion or insertion of 1-2 bp and most of them (7/9) happened at simple nucleotide repeat sequences, particularly within (A) n tracts (5/9). All of four nonsense mutations resulted from C to T transitions at CpG sites.
CONCLUSIONMutational inactivations of APC gene were detected in more than half of HNPCC patients in this study, indicating that APC mutation is a common molecular event in the tumorigenesis of HNPCC. According to the location of frameshift mutations at simple nucleotide repeat sequences and point mutations at CpG sites, it was suggested that endogenous mechanisms like MMR deficiency might exert an effect on the nature of APC mutations in most HNPCC.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene mutations in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) in Chinese.
METHODSDNA was extracted from blood samples taken from 31 FAP families, and all exons of the APC gene were amplified with touch-down PCR. APC gene mutations were screened by denaturing high performance liquid chromatography followed by sequencing if abnormal profile was detected.
RESULTSTwelve categories of APC gene mutations were found in 15 FAP families (48.39%) including 4 novel mutations in coding region and 3 mutations in introns. The 4 novel mutations in coding region were frameshift mutations and located in codons 255, 677, 1192 and 1403 respectively. Most mutations were clustered in exon 15 of APC gene leading to frameshift and accounted for 86.67%. Others were nonsense mutations (13.33%).
CONCLUSIONThe mutation rate of the APC gene in this group of Chinese FAP families was about 48.39%, and 4 novel mutations were detected. Frameshift mutation was the major mutation type in Chinese FAP and mainly located in exon 15.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical effect of bridging fixation with locking plate for the Seinsheimer type V subtrochanteric femoral fracture.
METHODSFrom March 2009 to September 2014,18 cases of Seinsheimer type V subtrochanteric femoral fracture were treated by open reduction and bridging fixation with locking plate through proximal and distal approach including 16 males and 2 females with an average age of 41 years old ranging from 22 to 67 years old. Among them, 12 cases caused by traffic accident, 5 cases by falling, 1 case by heavy aboving. All cases were fresh and closed fractures. Time between injury and operation was from 4 to 9 days with an average of 6.2 days. Of them, 11 cases were fixed with reverse LISS and the other 7 cases were fixed with anatomical locking plates of proximal femur.
RESULTSThe mean time of operation was 110 min (ranged from 90 to 155 min). The mean blood loss during operation was 425 ml (ranged from 350 to 650 ml) and 16 cases got blood transfusion which was meanly 300 ml. The mean hospital time was 14 days (ranged from 12 to 18 days). The mean duration of followed up was 11.8 months (ranged from 8 to 22 months). The mean time of bone union was 6.6 months (ranged from 5 to 8 months). There was not any complication such as infection, implant failure, hip varus, external rotation deformity of low limb or fat embolism. The Sanders hip scores were 53.22 ± 6.48, the result was excellent in 12 cases and good in 6 cases at the last follow-up.
CONCLUSIONUnder the principle of biological osteosynthesis, treatment of Seinsheimer type V subtrochanteric femoral fracture with bridging locking plate fixation has such advantages as high mechanism, less interference of blood supply, stable fixation and little complication. It is a safe and idea way for the treatment of the Seinsheimer type V subtrochanteric femoral fracture.
