OBJECTIVE:To study inhibitory effect of Lycianthes biflora polysaccharide on the proliferation of hepatic stellate HSCs-T6 cells in rats and its mechanism. METHODS:After treated with 0(blank control),50,100,200μg/ml L. biflora polysac-charide for 24 and 48 h,the activity of hepatic stellate HSCs-T6 cells in rats was determined by MTT assay and inhibitory rate of cell proliferation was calculated;the content of Hyp in supernatant was detected by immunohistochemical assay. After 48 h,the ex-pression of cellular α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)was measured by immunohistochemical assay;both transforming growth fac-tor β1(TGF-β1)and Smad3 were measured by Western blot assay. RESULTS:Compared to blank control,50,100 and 200 μg/ml L. biflora polysaccharide could inhibit the proliferation of HSCs-T6 cells;cell inhibitory rates were 39.84%-69.31% and 45.16%-82.93% respectively after treated for 24 and 48 h,which were positively associated with time and concentration. The con-tents of Hyp in supernatant were 178.36-93.25 μg/ml and 131.94-68.74 μg/ml respectively after treated with different concentrations of PRP for 24 and 48 h,which were negatively associated with time and concentration. The protein level of TGF-β1 and Smad3 de-creased after treated with L. biflora polysaccharide for 48 h(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:L. biflora polysaccharide can inhibit the proliferation of hepatic stellate HSCs-T6 cells in rats,and its mechanism is associated with the inactivation of endogenous TGF-βpathway for reducing collagen production.

BACKGROUND:At present, a large number of studies have confirmed that reconstruction plate compared to Kirschner wire in the treatment of clavicular fracture showed good effects, but there is no precise report on the specific advantages at present. Clinical randomized controled study is less, and lacks of systematic evaluation. OBJECTIVE:To systematicaly evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment of the clavicle fractures with the reconstruction plate and the Kirschner wire by using a meta-analysis. METHODS: We retrieved the MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane library, CNKI, Wanfang database and VIP database from 2008 to 2015 by computer to colect al controled study relevant to reconstruction plate and Kirschner wire in the treatment of clavicle fracture, and screened the literatures that met the inclusion criteria. Al literatures were analyzed in strict quality evaluation. Excelent rate, delayed healing of incision, malunion, postoperative infection, loosening of internal fixation, postoperative fracture displacement, operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume and fracture healing time were selected as the evaluation indexes of a meta-analysis. Meta-analysis was performed with RevMan 5.2 software from the Cochrane Colaboration. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Finaly 12 Chinese articles published from 2008 to 2014 were included, with 911 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with Kirschner wire, the reconstruction plate has a certain advantage in improving the excelent and good rate, shortening the delayed wound healing and reducing deformity healing, reducing postoperative infection, preventing the loosening of internal fixation and avoiding postoperative fracture displacement. However, the two surgical methods in the treatment of clavicular fracture were not significant in operation time, intraoperative blood loss and fracture healing time. These results suggest that compared with the Kirschner wire, reconstruction plate fixation for treatment of clavicular fracture had better curative effect. The reconstruction plate can be firstly selected in the permit of patient economic conditions and hospital conditions. Due to the limited sample size in this study, the multicenter, large-sample and long-term clinical randomized controled studies with more strict design are needed to increase the reliability of the evidence.

BACKGROUND:Now a lot of studies have confirmed that in contrast with the dynamic hip screw, the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation has a better therapeutic effect on the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly, but there is no definite conclusion on the specific superiority at present. OBJECTIVE:To compare the curative effects of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and dynamic hip screw in repair of intertrochanteric fracture using a meta-analysis. METHODS: We searched VIP database, Wanfang database, PubMed database and Embase database from 2011 to 2015, and colected randomized controled trials on proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and dynamic hip screw in repair of intertrochanteric fracture. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stays, fracture healing time, Harris score, length of incision, bed time walking after the operation were used as evaluation indexes of meta analysis. Data were analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the end, we used 9 literatures, which contained 858 patients of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. The time of publication was from 2011 to 2015, and al of them were published in Chinese. The results of Meta-analysis showed that, compared with dynamic hip screw, proximal femoral nail anti-rotation in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly could effectively reduce operation time, blood loss, hospital stays, fracture healing time, length of incision and the time of walking after the operation was earlier, and it could obtain better recovery of hip function. We can point out that compared with dynamic hip screw, proximal femoral nail anti-rotation has certain advantages in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. In some conditions, the patients and the hospitals can give priority to choose the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.

OBJECTIVE To explore the pharmaceutical care of reactivating anthracycline chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer complicated with thyroid cancer. METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the whole treatment process of a patient with advanced breast cancer complicated with thyroid cancer and provided personalized medication recommendations. Considering that the patient currently has multiple primary anti-tumor drug resistance, clinical pharmacists recommend reactivating the EC rescue protocol (intravenous infusion of epirubicin hydrochloride 140 mg+cyclophosphamide 1 g, d1, 21 days for a cycle). The cumulative lifetime dose of epirubicin and the optimal course of chemotherapy was estimated according to the body weight change of the patient. Given the issue that abnormal fluctuation of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level during chemotherapy may increase the risk of cardiac toxicity, clinical pharmacists suggest adopting a dose adjustment strategy of “fast first and slow later” for Levothyroxine sodium tablet according to the target range of TSH and test results. RESULTS The doctors adopted the pharmacists’ suggestion; the clinical pharmacists assisted the doctors in reactivating the anthracycline-based 7-cycle combination regimen, during which the patient had no significant cardiac adverse events and was repeatedly evaluated as stable. TSH decreased steadily after Levothyroxine sodium tablets were added, and no adverse reaction related to TSH inhibition was observed. CONCLUSIONS Patients with primary drug-resistant breast cancer complicated with thyroid cancer may be reactived anthracyclines if necessary, but baseline cardiac function and thyroid hormone levels should be tested before initiation, and cardiac toxicity risk assessment should be performed in combination with the patient’s history. Clinical pharmacists should actively exert their professional advantages to carry out whole-process pharmaceutical care for such patients, so as to ensure the safety of drug use for patients.
