Objective To summarize the clinical, electrophysiological, pathological characteristics of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). Methods From Jan 1990 to Dec 2003, 32 patients of CIDP were admitted by our hospital, 14 male and 18 female. The age range of onset of illness was 13 to 74 years old (averaging 42.56) with the prime period of 40 to 50. Before hospitalization, the course was from 2 months to 5 years. Among all patients, there were 8 cases of a relapsing course and 24 cases of a chronic progressive course. Twenty-four patients were treated with corticosteroids, while 7 received immuglobin (IG) and corticosteroids. The clinical data before and after the treatment was studied retrospectively. Results Most of the patients had subacute or chronic onsets. The common initial symptoms are numbness, paresthesia, and extremity weakness. Diplopia, decreased visual acuity, dysarthria, and dysphagia could also be found initially. It was usually a symmetric sensorimotor neuropathy with either a relapsing course or a chronic progressive course. It could be accompanied with autonomic dysfunction and cranial nerve involvement. Electromyogram demonstrated that the motive and sensory nerve conduction velocities were slow. The sural nerve biopsy showed demyelination and remyelination. `IG and corticosteroids were both effective. Conclusion CIDP might result in widespread peripheral nerve damages, in which autonomic dysfunction and cranial nerve involvement were common. The dominant electrophysiological changes showed peripheral nerve demyelination accompanied by axon degeneration. The sural nerve biopsy played an important role of diagnosis. The treatment with IG and corticosteroids was a most effective way for CIDP nowadays.

Objective To investigate the effects of interferon-α (IFN-α) and gefitinib on the proliferation and apoptosis of human colon cancer cell line HCT116. Methods Colon cancer cell line HCT116 was selected as research objective. The biological effects of IFN-α and gefitinib alone or combined on the cells were observed at different time point (after worked for 24, 48 and 72 hours). The proliferation inhibition of the medicine on the HCT116 cells was measured by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Morphologic changes were observed under optical microscope. Apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry (FCM). The results were analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software, two groups compare was tested by t test, and single factor variance analysis was for multiple group data compare. Results IFN-α and gefitinib alone or combined could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HCT116 cells (P<0.05), and there was a time and dose-dependent manner between the degree of inhibition and the working time and concentration of the medicine. With the work of the medicine, apoptosis morphologic changes were observed in the cells. And FCM result indicated that the apoptosis rate significantly increased. After treated with IFN-α and gefitinib alone or combined for 72h, the cell apoptosis rate were 15.6%±0.6%, 13.6%±0.4% and 31.2%±0.3% respectively, which was obviously higher than control group (6.8%±0.3%, P<0.05). Conclusion Both IFN-α and gefitinib were able to inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of HCT116 cells moreover, and a synergistic effect was observed while combine used there two medicines.

BACKGROUND:Hot-melt adhesive is safe and environmental friendly adhesive due to free of solvent, which is particularly suitable for medical applications. OBJECTIVE:To describe the types and characteristics of currently used hot-melt adhesives and to prospect the technical research and development of hot-melt adhesive for polyolefin tubes or catheters as wel as to point out the corresponding key points to the hot-melt adhesion. METHODS:Literature search was carried out in SCI, Elsevier, and CNKI with the key words of“hot melt adhesive, medical application”in English and Chinese, respectively, for the initial retrieval of relevant articles or patents published January 1995 to December 2015. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:To date, the medical hot-melt adhesives reported in the literature could be grouped as amorphous polyolefin, thermoplastic elastomer, acrylic and polyurethane types. The heat resistance of the most of the hot-melt adhesives does not meet the requirement for steam sterilizing process. In the present review, a strategy is proposed to develop a novel hot-melt adhesive which is good for binding polyolefin parts and can undergo the sterilization process. Given this, it is essential to choose a kind of polypropylene random copolymer with a suitable melting point as a substrate. With the aid of an adjuvant agent, therefore, we can develop a novel hot-melt adhesive that exhibits a lower melting point than the polyolefin tube, withstands steam sterilization temperature to ensure that the tube is not deformed during melt adhesion and is not become invalid during sterilization.
