OBJECTIVE: To prepare amphiphilic long-circulating hydroxycamptothecin nanoparticles and investigate its physicochemical properties and pharmacokinetic characteristics in rats. METHODS: Polyethyleneglycol-polycaprolactone (PEG-PCL) was synthesized. HCPT-PEG-PCL-NPs were prepared by solvent-diffusion method using PEG-PCL block copolymer as the matrix. The obtained NPs were evaluated, and the physical stabilities of both suspl and freeze-dried powder were investigated. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine and compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of HCPT injection and HCPT-PEG-PCL-NPs prepared with different copolymers in rats. RESULTS: When using PEG4000-PCL1250, PEG4000-PCL2000, PEG2000-PCL1250, PEG2000-PCL2000 as the carrier materials, the average particle sizes of NPs were 110.0, 116.1, 99.1 and 119.9 nm; the Zeta potentials were -16.9, -22.4, -28.8 and -33.5 mV; the entrapment efficiency were 83.10%, 88.29%, 77.46% and 80.67%; and the drug loading percentages were 2.56%, 2.96%, 2.14% and 2.31%, respectively. The physical stability of the freeze-dried powder was better, and hot environment seemed to be bad for the stability. The t1/2s of HCPT-PEG4000-PCL1250-NPs, HCPT-PEG2000-PCL1250-NPs, HCPT-PEG4000-PCL2000-NPs and HCPT-PEG2000-PCL2000-NPs were 18.07, 9.08, 5.25 and 5.14 times longer than that of HCPT injection which was 0.1418 h. CONCLUSION: The HCPT-PEG-PCL-NPs show sustained-release effect and long-circulation property compared with HCPT injection. Copyright 2012 by the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.

OBJECTIVE:To strengthen the supervision of drug stocktaking,and to improve drug management. METHODS:The data of drug stocktaking were extracted from our hospital from 2011 to 2014,and was analyzed in respects of accounts coinci-dence rate,drug profit and loss account rate,the entry and exit account between departments and original record,etc. A series of supervision strategies were established,and the data of drug stocktaking was analyzed during Jan.-Jun. in 2015 statistically to evalu-ated supervision effects. RESULTS:The supervision of drug stocktaking was strengthened through limiting the right of drug profit and loss on stocktaking,strengthening original stocktaking record management,establishing Key Drug List,setting up drug stock-taking supervision institutions,etc. During Jan.-Jun. in 2015,there was obvious improvement in the drug supervision skills,in terms of account coincidence rate,profit and loss account,material safety,cash flow rate,staff responsibility and stocktaking dura-tion,etc. More specially,the accounts coincidence rate had rose from about 82.8% to more than 95%;both the key drug accounts coincidence rate and the entry and exit account between departments coincidence rate had reached to 100%;the profit and loss ac-count rate had reduced from about 7.6% to less than 0.3%;the stocktaking time had reduced from 10 h to 3 h. CONCLUSIONS:Strengthening drug stocktaking supervision can not only improve the stocktaking efficiency and quality markedly,but also contrib-utes to the development of other pharmacy work in hospital.

Objective To investigate the change of apoptosis in LNCaP cells after inhibition of autophagic process under androgen removal conditions. Methods The autophagic level was deter-mined by using confocal microscopy and RT-PCR. The DAPI staining was used to indicate the apopto-sis of LNCaP cells after inhibition of autophagic by 3-MA. Also, Z-VAD-FMK was used to extend the apoptosis results. Results ①Androgen deprivation led to increased autophagy in LNCaP cells. LN-CaP cells cultured in complete medium(CM) presented low autophagic process with 1.9 scores. After 24 hours, the punetate GFP-LC3 structures were accumulated in the cells cultured in serum-free medi-um (SF)(2.64 scores). In contrast, the number of punctate GFP-LC3 remained at a very low level (1.85 scores), when cells were incubated with DHT in SFA(serum-free medium+DHT). Statistical analysis showed the significant difference between SF and SFA (P<0.01). Semiquantitative RT-PCR was employed to examine the mRNA expression of LC3. Indeed, cells grown in the medium without serum had a higher LC3 mRNA expression with the highest at 12 hour time point as compared with the cells grown in CM. DHT treatment reduced the level of LC3 mRNA. ②Blockage of autophagy by 3-MA increased the apoptosis of LNCaP cells. LNCaP cells in SF and SFA just presented a basal level of apoptosis, which is (3.19±1.09)% and (3.01±0.33)% , respectively. Under androgen-free con-ditions, inhibition of autophagy by 3-MA could increase apoptosis significantly(10. 90±2.91%). While Z-VAD-FMK, a pan Caspase inhibitor, was able to suppress this apoptotic process to the level of (1.16±0.52)%, which was statistically significant(P<0.01). Conclusions Androgen removal can lead to the increase of autophagy in LNCaP cells. Moreover, inhibition of autophagy promotes the occurrence of apoptosis.

Objective To analyze the correlation of perfusion parameters obtained by functional multi-slice computed tomography (fMSCT) with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) detected with immunohistochemistry on rabbit model with VX2 breast cancer and noninvasively evaluate the vascularization of untreated VX2 breast cancer in vivo. Methods Sixteen New Zealand femal rabbits were selected and suspension (1 ml) of mass was injected around the breast areola. CT perfusion was performed after two weeks and perfusion parameters including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time (MTT)and permeability surface (PS) were assessed. Expression of VEGF in neoplasm was detected with immunohistochemistry. Paried t test was used for the comparison of perfusion parameters between the tumor and muscle and Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation of VEGF with perfusion parameters. Results The mean value of BF, BV, MTT and PS were (228.21 ± 13. 13 ) ml · min-1100 mg-1 ,(13.45 ± 1.01) ml · 100 mg-1 ,(3. 50 ±0. 20) sand (7.85 ±1.18) ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 in tumor, respectively. They were (66. 10 ±22. 11 ) ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 , ( 1.88 ± 1.80) ml · 100 mg-1,(23. 87 ±0. 63)s,(1.55 ±0. 38)ml · min-1 · 100 mg-1 in muscular tissue, respectively. The mean value of BF, BV and PS in tumor were obviously higher than those in muscle, and the mean value of MTT in tumor was lower than that in muscle. There were significant differences in CT perfusion parameters between tumor and muscle (t = 61.83,13.63,27.72,20. 54, P ＜ 0. 01 ). The mean value of VEGF in tumor was 7. 33 ±0. 27 and there were positive correlation with BF ( r = 0. 712, P ＜ 0. 01 ), BV ( r = 0. 647, P ＜ 0. 01 ), PS ( r =0. 627 ,P ＜ 0. 01 ), and negative correlation with MTT ( r = - 0. 564, P ＜ 0. 05 ).

Objective:To access the feasibility and safety of application of flexible laryngeal mask air-way ( FLMA) in oral&maxillofacial day surgery. Methods:Retrospective study was conducted of 40 oral& maxillofacial day surgery patients (3 to 61 years of age) using FLMA under general anaesthesia in De-partment of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology. All the patients were with American Society of Anesthesiologists ( ASA ) physical status Ⅰ -Ⅱ, including 19 males and 21 females. The patients' vital signs were recorded at five different time points:baseline before anesthesia ( T0 ) , time right after the FLMA insertion ( T1 ) , time at incision ( T2 ) , 15 min after incision ( T3 ) and time at the end of the operation ( T4 ) . The first attempted FLMA insertion successful rate and the number of timed of changing to endotracheal intubation were recorded. During operation, frequencies of movement, hypoxia and obstruction of airway were noted and the operation time, anesthesia time, time from the end of the operation to extubation, movement and coughing following extubation and sore throat within 24 h were taken down. Operation-related complications of bleeding, hematoma and injury of local nerves were recorded within 24 h as well. Results:The operations of all the 40 patients were successfully done under general anaesthesia. The 36 ( 90%, 36/40 ) patients using FLMA successfully were under steady process, including 16 males and 20 females. The first attempted successful rate of FLMA insertion was 80% (32/40), and the second 50% (4/8). Three out of the 4 failed FLMA patients were changed to endotracheal intubation after the second attempt failed. The other patient was changed to endotracheal intubation before operation because of leak. The average operation time was (46. 58 ± 22. 57) min, the anesthesia time was ( 77 . 97 ± 26 . 82 ) min and the time from the end of operation to extubation was (8. 31 ± 3. 33) min. All the patients were recorded without obvious body movement during the operation procedure. There were 4 patients (11. 11%, 4/36) with slight body movement during extubation. The incidence of sore throat was 13. 89% (5/36) within 24 h postoperatively. There were no complications of bleeding, hematoma and injury of local nerves. The vital signs of baseline T0 were significantly different from those at other time points T1, T2, T3, and T4 (P<0. 01). As to the hearts rate after anesthesia, the values at T1, T2, T3 and T4 for two-two comparison, there was no statistical difference (P>0. 05). As to the values of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure after anesthesia at T1 and T4 , T2 and T3, for two-two comparison, there was no statistical difference (P>0. 05). As to the respiratory rate from the start of the surgery, the values at T2, T3 and T4 showed no statistical difference (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Flexible laryngeal mask airway is a supraglottic airway management method. It is suitable and safe for securing the airway in oral & maxillofacial day surgery. The advantages of fewer haemody-namic changes and postoperative complications are confirmed.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of warm needling moxibustion plus tricolor medicinal paste in treating knee osteoarthritis.MethodNinety-one patients meeting the diagnostic criteria were randomly allocated to a treatment group (45 cases) and a control group (46 cases). The treatment group was given warmneedling moxibustion plus tricolor medicinal paste and the control group, warm needling moxibustion alone.
