BACKGROUND: The free radicals induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion consist mainly of xanthine oxidase, which induces cell swelling in the infarcted area.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of cerebral ischemia/reperfusioninduced changes in the activity of cerebral superoxide dismutase (SOD), an enzyme responsible for free radical clearance, and investigate the effect of apurin, a inhibitor of purine oxidase, on cellular water content in the brain tissue with ischemia/reperfusion injury.DESIGN: Completely randomized controlled study.SETTING: Department of Neurology of the Central Hospital Affiliated to Shenyang Medical College, Department of Neurosurgery of the First Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University, and Liaoning Provincial Orthopedic Hospital for Limb Disabilities.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the Laboratory of the Central Hospital Affiliated to Shenyang Medical College from May 2003 to April 2004. Forty Wistar rats were subjected to a 6-hour cerebral ischemia and randomized into 4 equal groups to receive intragastric administration of 100 mg/kg apurin (ischemia + apurin group), oxolinic acid suspension of the same dose (ischemia+ oxolinic acid group), 100 mg/kg apurin after a 2-hour reperfusion (Ischemia/reperfusion + apurin group), or oxolinic acid of the same dosage after the 2-hour reperfusion (ischemia/reperfusion + oxolinic acid goup), respectively. The rats in apurin group had intragastric administration of 100 mg/kg apurin 48, 24 and 1 hour before occlusion of the cervical internal carotid artery (CICA) to induce the ischemia, respectively. Oxolinic acid was given in the two oxolinic acid groups in the same manner.METHODS:Water content of brain tissue of rats was measured after 6 hours of CICA occlusion in the two ischemia groups and after the 2-hour perfusion in the two ischemia/reperfusion groups. Distribution of SOD in the brain tissue was observed with SOD immunostaining.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Distribution of SOD and water content in the brain tissue of rats.RESULTS: In the two oxolinic acid groups, Cu-Zn SOD staining identified obviously increased staining intensity in the ischemic foci. Mn SOD staining in ischemia+oxolinic acid group resulted in increased circular staining surrounding the vessels in the ischemic foci, with also obvious staining of the vascular wall and neural cells. The ischemic foci of the ischemia/reperfusion + oxolinic acid group showed diffuse but lightly weaker staining. Cu-Zn SOD staining in the two apurin groups revealed no significant difference. In the two oxolinic acid groups, endothelial cell nuclear swelling of the arteriole, protrusion of the mid-layer myocytes, and expansion of the vascular membrane were observed, with the tissues surrounding the vessels appearing spongy. These changes were less severe in the two apurin groups. The water content in the brain tissue was (78.56±0.30) % in ischemia + apurin group and (78.85±0.49) % in ischemia/reperfusion + apurin group, significantly lower than that of (79.08±0.33) % in ischemia + oxolinic acid group and (79.86±0.49) % in ischemia/reperfusion + oxolinic acid group (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Apurin can relieve tissue injury after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion by inhibition of SOD.

Objective To monitor the expression patterns of bcr-abl in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients during treatment with imatinib mesylate and evaluate the detection of MRD by RQ-PCR method. Methods The ABI Prism 7500 Sequence Detection System using Taqman fluorogenic probes was used to quantify target gene. bcr-abl mRNA was detected by RQ-PCR in 106 CML patients. The normalized quotient (NQ) of bcr-abl mRNA was calculated as followings: NQ=bcr-abl mRNA copy numbers/abl mRNA copy numbers. Results The NQ of BCR-ABL mRNA was well correlated with the progression of disease and the number of Ph+ cell (r =0.9824 and 0.9346, respectively). The NQ was decreased rapidly in 62 patients and kept in low level for a long time, and only 2 of them were relapsed. For 8 patients, after treatment the NQwere decreased initially and increased sharply, 7 of them were relapsed after 5-9 months. After treatment the NQ of 31 patients were still>0.1, 11 patients were relapsed after a short remission and 7 were ineffective or progression. Out of 5 patients whose NQ were fluctuated and had little regularity, but all of them had a continuing remission. Conclusion RQ-PCR is a more sensitive technique in the detection of bcr-abl fusion gene.It is an important method to monitor the tumor cell during the treatment with imatinib mesylate in CML patients.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the economics of somatostatin,ulinastatin,octreotide and gabexate preventing hyperamy-lasemia and pancreatitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). METHODS:Medical records of 316 cho-ledocholithiasis patients underwent ERCP were selected from our hospital during Jul. 2008-Apr. 2016,and then divided into blank control group(58 cases),somatostatin group(64 cases),ulinastatin group(65 cases),octreotide group(68 cases)and gabexate group (61 cases) according to the use of protease inhibitor. Before ERCP,blank control group received routine treatment as fast-ing,parenteral nutrition support,acid suppression,etc. Based on it,other 4 drug groups received prophylactic drug use according to package inserts 6 h before ERCP. The incidence of hyperamylasemia and pancreatitis after ERCP,VAS scores 3,24,48 h after surgery and the occurrence of ADR were compared among 5 groups. The cost-effectiveness analysis was used to evaluate the eco-nomics of therapy plans in each group. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,hospitalization time of somatostatin group, ulinastatin group,octreotide group and gabexate group were shortened significantly;the incidence of hyperamylasemia and pancre-atitis were significantly decreased;VAS score 3,24,48 h after surgery were significantly decreased,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Compared among 4 groups,above indexes had no significant difference,and the incidence of ADR was in low level and had no statistical significance(P>0.05). The cost-effectiveness ratio of somatostatin group was the lowest and has cost-effec-tiveness advantage. The results were supported by incremental cost-effectiveness and sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS:Soma-tostatin,ulinastatin,octreotide and gabexate can significantly prevent the occurrence of hyperamylasemia and pancreatitis after ER-CP,and relieve pain with good safety. Somatostatin can achieve the best therapeutic efficacy at the lowest cost,so it is the best plan for hyperamylasemia and pancreatitis after ERCP.

Objective To establish assay methods for the determination of dissolution,content and related substances of vita-min K1 self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system(VK1-SNEDDS),and investigate the physico-chemical properties of the preparation. Methods The UV method was established to determine the dissolution of VK1-SNEDDS. The content and related substances were de-termined by HPLC. The appearance,self-emulsification time,micro-morphology,droplet size and zeta potential were also investigat-ed. Results The linearity range of established UV and HPLC methods was 0.85-20.4 and 2.16-216μg/ml,respectively,and all the recovery,precision,specificity and sensitivity met requirements. VK1-SNEDDS could disperse quickly after dilution. The transmission electron microscope(TEM)image of the optimized liquid SNEDDS showed that most of the emulsion droplets were of uniform size with no signs of coalescence. Droplet size of optimal formulation was revealed as 47.74 nm with polydispersibility index(PDI)of 0.248,and zeta potential was found to be-20.53 mV. Conclusion VK1-SNEDDS could form homogeneous and stable nanoemulsion when dilut-ed with aqueous phase and increase the dissolution of lipophilic drug. The methods are reliable,accurate and suitable for quality con-trol of VK1-SNEDDS.
