Objective To explore the value of axillary MRI in differential diagnosis of metastatic axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer.Methods Axillary MRI was performed in 44 breast cancer patients proved by pathology.Long axis,short axis,cortex thickness,ADC value,hilus,margin,perifocal fat gap,signal intensity on DWI,enhancement pattern and time-signal intensity curve were analyzed.The diagnostic ability of long axis,short axis,cortex thickness and ADC value were analyzed with ROC curves.Results Twenty-four patients (24/44,54.55 %) were proved with metastases axillary lymph nodes,the other 20 patients (20/44,45.45%) were negative.Long axis,short axis,cortex thickness,ADC value,hilus absence,irregular margin,fuzzy perifocal fat gap,high signal intensity on DWI and heterogeneous enhancement showed statistically significant between patients with metastatic and without metastatic axillary lymph nodes (all P<0.05).The area under ROC curve of long axis,short axis,cortex thickness and ADC value were 0.797,0.765,0.848,0.749 respectively.Conclusion MRI plays an important role in differential diagnosis of axillary lymph nodes me tastasis.The cortex thickness larger than 0.54 cm can help to predict metastatic axillary lymph nodes.

This article was aimed to study the therapeutic effect of Chinese medicine Kun-Bao-W an (KBW) on sleep disorders among ovariectomized mice. A total of 60 female KM of adult mice were randomly divided into four groups, which were the sham-operated group, model group, diazepam group, and KBW group, with 15 rats in each group. Rats in the sham-operated group were only removed small amount of fatty tissue around the ovaries. Bilateral oophorectomy was given on mice in other groups. In the KBW group, 28 days after the operation, KBW was intragastrically administered (1.667 g·kg-1) every day for 28 days. Mice in the diazepam group were intragas-trically administered (1.25 g·kg-1) 1 h before testing. The observation was made on effects of KBW on locomotor activity, sleeping time of mice induced by pentobarbital sodium and the organ coefficients of uterus. The results showed that compared with sham-operated group, locomotor activity and rearing behavior increased obviously in the model group (P < 0.01). The diazepam group can significantly reduce locomotor activity in ovariectomized mice (P < 0.01), and decrease the number of rearing behavior mildly with no statistical difference. KBW can reduce lo-comotor activity mildly but without effect on rearing behavior in ovariectomized mice. Diazepam can markedly pro-long the pentobarbital sleep time in ovariectomized mice (P < 0.01). KBW can prolong the pentobarbital sleep time and shorten the process of falling into sleep mildly with no statistical difference. There was no significant ef-fect on organ coefficients of uterus in ovariectomized mice by KBW or diazepam. It was concluded that KBW had mild effect on improving sleep disorders in ovariectomized mice.

OBJECTIVE To study the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of cannabidiol(CBD)-cholesterol succinate monoester-g-carboxymethyl chitosan (CCMC) nano-micelles in rats, and to evaluate its anti-inflammatory effect. METHODS CBD- CCMC nano-micelles were prepared by dialysis method and the properties were characterized. SD rats were divided into CBD group and CBD-CCMC nano-micelles group with 6 rats in each group. The rats were given 100 mg/kg CBD and CBD-CCMC nano- micelle by intragastric administration, respectively (based on the CBD load). Blood was collected from the posterior ophthalmic venous plexus at 0.5, 1, 1.33, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48 h after administration. The heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and muscle tissues of rats were separated at 0.25, 1.5, 10 and 24 h after administration of CBD and CBD-CCMC nano-micelle with the same dose. The drug content in plasma and tissues was determined, the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated, and the tissue distribution was analyzed. The inflammatory model of Caco-2 cells was induced by lipopolysaccharide, after 24 h of treatment with 5, 10, and 15 µg/mL CBD and CBD-CCMC nanomicelles (based on loaded CBD), its anti-inflammatory activity was investigated by measuring cell viability, transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-8 and TNF-α. RESULTS The prepared CBD- CCMC nano-micelles had a particle size of (230.6±1.8) nm, a polydispersity index of 0.170±0.053, a Zeta potential of (-13.5± 1.2) mV, an encapsulation rate of (86.35±0.56)% and a drug loading of (9.18±0.32)%, respectively; the solubility was 68.240 μg/mL. The pharmacokinetic results showed that the AUC0-48 h, AUC0-∞, half-life time and peak concentration of CBD-CCMC nano- micelle group were significantly increased/extended compared with CBD group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The results of the tissue distribution study showed that at the same time point, the drug distribution concentration of CBD-CCMC nanomicelles in the rat tissue was higher than that in the CBD group. Research on anti-inflammatory effects shows that compared with CBD of the same mass concentration, CBD-CCMC nano-micelles can significantly increase cell viability (P<0.05 or P<0.01), enhance TEER, and reduce the levels of IL-8, IL-1β and TNF-α in cells (P<0.01), and the secretion levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-8, IL-1β and TNF- α were significantly decreased (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS CBD-CCMC nano-micelles can increase the plasma concentration and tissue distribution concentration of CBD, and improve anti-inflammatory activity of CBD.
