AIM To study the influence of indapamide(Ind) on pharmacokinetics of telmisartan(Tel) and observe the difference between male and female rats. METHODS Wistar rats were divided into Tel and Tel+Ind groups, each group containing 8 female and 8 male rats, and were ig administered a single dose of either Tel 3.6 mg·kg-1 or Tel 3.6 mg·kg-1+Ind 0.135 mg·kg-1, respectively. Blood samples were collected at intervals over 96 h after administration. The Tel concentrations in plasma were determined by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector. The Tel concentration-time curves were simulated by 3p97 software and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. RESULTS Whatever in female or male rats, there were no significant differences in the main pharmacokinetic parameters of Tel between Tel and Tel+Ind groups. However, females had higher values for area under the concentration-time curve and maximum plasma concentration than males, but lower values for total clearance in both Tel and Tel+Ind groups. CONCLUSION Ind has no significant influences on the pharmacokinetics of Tel. However, pharmacokinetics of Tel is significant different between male and female rats.

Objective To investigate the value of elasticity score and elasticity strain ratio (SR) in predicting the central lymph nodes metastasis of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Methods This study conducted a retrospective analysis of ultrasonography ifndings of 236 thyroid lesions from 208 patients. All of them underwent surgery in Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University from June 2012 to March 2013. Totally 82 PTMC from 82 patients were included in this study. Among them 12 patients with 12 PTMC had central lymph nodes metastasis. The elasticity score and SR were compared between metastasis and non-metastasis groups, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of SR was calculated. Results The differences of PTMC elasticity score between two groups showed no statistical signiifcance (χ2=5.00, P=0.08). The average SR of the group with central lymph nodes metastasis is 2.44±0.61, which is higher than the group without lymph nodes metastasis whose average SR is 1.67±0.42. Differences are statistically signiifcant (t=5.5, P=0.00). The area under curve of SR-ROC curve was 0.847. Using 2.01 as cutoff of SR, the sensitivity, speciifcity, accuracy of predicting central lymph nodes metastasis was 83.3%, 81.4%, 78.6%respectively. Conclusion The SR but not elasticity score could be a meaningful indicator for predicting lymph nodes metastasis.
