OBJECTIVE:To prepare core-shell nanocapsules loading nicardipine hydrochloride and to investigate its pharmaceutical characteristics. METHODS: Core-shell nanocapsules were prepared using layer-by-layer electrostatic self-assembly technique. The indexes including the shape and particle size and the loaded drug amount of the nanocapsules were evaluated, and its accumulative release rates in artificial gastric juice and intestinal juice were computed and compared with those of its crude drug. RESULTS: The results showed that the nanocapsules were spherical with a mean particle size of 200 nm and a maximum loaded drug amount of 2.512%. The drug release rate within 12 h reached 18.64% in artificial gastric juice and 70% in artificial intestinal juice, whereas within 3 h the drug release rate of its crude drug in artificial intestinal juice reached 87%. CONCLUSIONS: The prepared core-shell nanocapsules containing nicardipine hydrochloride had a good pharmaceutical property.

Objective To invesigate the value of contrast-enhanced spiral CT scan in diagnosing renal pelvic carcinoma.Methods All 35 cases with renal pelvic carcinoma confirmed by surgical pathology underwent plain and contrast-enhanced (including 4 phases) spiral CT scans before operation.CT data were reviewed retrospectively in comparison with surgical and patholgical results.Results CT findings of renal carcinoma could be classified into 3 types:type Ⅰ,the lesions limited within the renal pelvis in 25 cases;thype Ⅱ,the lesions were out of the renal pelvis and had indefinable margins with the renal parenchyma in 6 cases;type Ⅲ ,only showed the pelvic wall thickened with hydronephrosis in 4 cases.On contrast-enhanced CT scan,inhomogeneous enhancement of the lesions was presented in cortical phase,the intensity of enhancement was not obviously changed in 13 cases in parenchymal and excretion phases,but the lesions were still hypointense in comparison with renal parenchyma,14 cases demonstrated inhomogeneous enhancement of the lesions in delayed phase.Conclusion Contrast-enhanced spiral CT scanning is valuable in diagnosing renal pelvic carcinoma and renal delayed phase should be emphasized.

Objective:To explore the effect of oxycontin combined with gabapentin on the clinical cure and immunity for patients with neuropathic cancer pain.Methods:80 patients with neuropathic cancer pain were enrolled in our hospital from June to 2016 July,of which patients divided into two groups randomly,Group A(n=40) accepted oxycontin treatment,and Group B (n=40) adopted gabapentin based on the patients in Group A.The VAS score and curative effect of the patients were compared between two groups;The quality of life of all patients were evaluated post-treatment,and the change of immunity indexes were compared and analyzed.Results:The VAS score of all patients was decreased significantly compared with pre-treatment (P＜0.05),and the score of Group B was lower than those patients in Group A (P＜0.05);The total remission rate of Group B was significantly higher than those of Group A (P＜0.05);after treatment,the score of appetite,emotion,sleep,daily activities,social communications of all patients decreased significantly compared with pre-treatment (P＜0.05),and the change of Group B was decrease significantly higher than those patients in Group A (P＜0.05);the immune index of two groups was significantly increased (P＜0.05),and the level of the indexes including IgG,IgA,IgM,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and circulating immune complex (CIC) increased compared with pre-treatment remarkably (P＜0.05),and which change in Group B was significantly higher than Group A (P＜0.05).Conclusions:Oxycontin combined with gabapentin for patients with neuropathic cancer pain deserved popularization in clinical,and which not only possessed well clinical effect,but also increased the quality of life.

36 rabbits were divided into control and experimental groups.In the experimen-tal group,the left renal artery was ligated or the left renal artery and vein wereligated simultaneously.All the animals were alive.After 3—8 months of the opera-tion,the rabbits were killed.The establishment of collateral circulation and theanatomical,histological and histochemical changes of the kidny were observed.The resultsobtained were as follows:1.Ligation of the left renal vessels causes atrophy of theleft kidney on account of the failure of collateral circulation establishment.Theright kidney of the experimental group showed obviously compensatory hypertrophy.The weight of the compensatory hypertrophied kidneys obviously increased.2.Thecompensatory hypertrophic growth of kidneys is due to the hypertrophy of existingn(?)phrons and the hyperplasia connective tissue.3.comparison of the controls,inthe JGI,PAS and AlP reactions with the compensatory hypertrophied kidneys,there were no striking differences.The results suggest that the compensatory hyper-trophied kidneys were normal at least on the renin secretion and reabsorption func-tion.

Objective To examine the effect of fibronectin connecting segment-1 (CS1) peptidefacilitated blockade of inflammatory cells-fibronectin adhesion on a rat liver transplantation model of prolonged ex vivo cold ischemia.Methods A model of liver transplantation in Wistar→Wistar rat was established.The donors of the CS1 treatment group received CS1 peptides through the tail vein for 3 days before operation.Another two doses of CS1 peptides were administered into the liver intraportally during procurement and before transplantion.Recipients received an additional 3-day course of CS1 peptides after transplantation.Rats in control group received scrambled peptides.Rats were sacrificed at 6,24 and 72 h after transplantion,and plasma transaminase activity and hepatic pathological changes were studied.The inflammatory cells and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells were visualized histochemically.Real-time PCR was used to detect tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA expression in the liver.Results The plasma transaminase activity and hepatic necrosis areas in CS1 treatment group were significantly lower than in control group (P＜0.05).CS1 peptides treatment significantly decreased the number of Kupffer cells after transplantation and greatly inhibited the recruitment of neutrophils to the graft liver as compared with control group (P＜0.05).After prolonged cold ischemia,only a few hepatic endothelial cells exhibited positive staining of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cell biomarker SE-1.Lots of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells positive for SE-1 staining could be detected in CS1 group at 72 h after transplantation,while much less SE-1 positive cells presented in the control goup.Prolonged cold ischemia caused a significant increase of TNF-α,IL-1β and VEGF mRNA expression in the graft liver of control group after transplantation.The expression of TNF-α mRNA at 6 and 24 h and VEGF mRNA expression at 24 h were significantly lower in CS1 group than in control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Peptide-mediated blockade of inflammatory cells-fibronectin interaction decreased the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines,prevented hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells from injury and subsequently protected against severe ischemia/reperfusion injury of the graft liver after transplantation.

Human microbiota is composed of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other microorganisms, which are distributed in the oral cavity, nasal cavity, intestine, vagina and skin, etc. Human microbiota plays a pivotal role in the metabolism, immunity, hormones and homeostasis of the host. It can protect the host and maintain the homeostasis, and provoke the incidence of inflammation and tumors. Microbiota has been found to modulate the efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapy and immunotherapy for certain types of tumors. Nevertheless, large-scale studies in the context of radiation therapy have not been performed. In this article, the relationship between the microbiota and the radiotherapy response and toxicity changes of cancer patients was summarized, aiming to develop the optimal treatment plan for patients, and provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of radiotherapy-induced injury.

Objective To study the application of coronary endarterectomy (CE) in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), and to evaluate the effect of CE plus CABG on patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) combined with diffuse distal atherosclerosis. Methods Thirty one patients, who underwent coronary endarterectomy in our institution between Oc-tober 2009 and October 2012, were reviewed retrospectively and compared the control group with 31 patients of their age, sex, LV function, and angina class. Results Among the 31 patients, 27 patients underwent one, 4 patient underwent two coronary arteries endarterectomized. Of all these 35 total endarterectomies, 13 (37%) were at left anterior descending artery, 3(9%) were at branches of the circumflex artery, and 19 (54%) involved the right coronary artery. There was no statistical dif-ference between two groups in clinical parameters including aorta cross time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, graft runoff, pul-sation index and mechanism ventilate time (P>0.05). There was no perioperative myocardial infarctions in CE group nor in control group. All patients were followed up and no recurrent angina were present in CE group. In CE group, one patient died of fungal pneumonia and heart failure half a year after operation. Conclusion In current cardiac surgical practice, coronary endarterectomy is an indispensable adjunct to CABG. The operative mortality and major morbidity were comparable or simi-lar to coronary artery bypass grafting, but its short-term and medium-term results were more favorable than to CABG.

Objective To summarize the experience of surgical treatment in patients with uremia and severe coronary artery disease, and reduce the perioperative risk thereof. Methods Sixteen chronic renal failure patients who were received haemodialysis and underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) during the period of February 2009 to December 2016 in Tianjin First Central Hospital were assessed in this retrospective study. Of the 16 patients, 8 patients and 6 patients were treated with off pump and on pump CABG respectively, one patient was treated with CABG and resection of ventricular aneurysm, and one patient was treated with CABG and tricuspid valve replacements. The renal function changes in preoperative and postoperative periods, 2-day and 1-week after surgery were observed. Echocardiography was used to evaluate cardiac function. The improvement of angina was recorded. Results Fourteen patients were successfully withdrawn from ventilator therapy within 24 h after surgery. The tracheal intubation was removed 65-hour after surgery in one patient. One patient died of multiple organ failure on the seventh day after surgery. The average length of ICU staying and in-hospital stay were (125.5 ± 21.6) h and (28.6 ± 7.4) days respectively. The serum creatinine (sCr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were higher in two days after surgery than those before the operation (P < 0.05). Fifteen patients which followed up (the final follow-up date was February 2017) showing cardiac functionⅠ-Ⅱ, ejection fraction (EF)>0.40, and no angina occurred. Conclusion CABG is relatively safe for patients with end-stage renal disease and severe coronary artery disease. CABG can significantly eliminate angina symptoms with satisfactory clinical effect.

The incidence of dextrocardia is lower. The dextrocardia is often associated with congenital anatomical abnormalities. The patient with normal cardiac structure of dextrocardia and severe coronary heart disease that needs coronary artery bypasss is rarer. This article summarizes the perioperative management and surgical experience of dextrocardia with bypass surgery via a clinical case.
