Objective To assess and optimize the dosage regimens of nor-vancomycin in patients with different renal functions.Methods The minimum inhibitory concentration ( MIC ) distribution was determined by agar dilution method with the target value of AUC 0-24/MIC≥638.Ten thousand cases in virtue of Monte Carlo simulation were performed in dif-ferent doses to obtain probabilities of target attainment ( PTA) and cumu-lative fractions of response ( CFR ) in patients with different renal func-tions.Results For the patients with normal renal function , when En-terococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis were treated with recommen-ded dose , from 0.8 to 1.6 g· d-1 , the CFR were lower than 59.77%.The CFR could reach to 83.95%and 73.10%when the dose was adjus-ted to 2.5 g· d -1.For the patients with moderate renal function insuffi-ciency , the CFR could reach to 82.81% at the dose of 0.8 g · d -1 against Enterococcus faecalis.The CFR could reach from 73.10% to 86.84%at the dose from 0.8 to 2.5 g · d-1 in the process of treating Enterococcus faecium.For the patients with severe renal function insuffi-ciency , the CFR could reach to 97.77% and 85.90% respectively a-gainst Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium.Conclusion Monte Carlo simulation provides dosage regimens and the norvancomycin regimen is complemented and optimized.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on the apoptosis of human acute leukemia HL-60 cell line and to analyze the role of the related apoptosis genes, such as Bcl-2 and Mcl-1, in the process of apoptosis of human acute leukemia cells.

METHODSHL-60 cells were treated with different concentrations of VEGF (2 microg/L, 20 microg/L or 100 microg/L ) or 20 mg/L of etoposide (VP16, an apoptosis inducter) alone or VEGF plus VP16. After 18 hrs of treatment, the apoptosis rate of HL-60 cells was detected by single-cell gel electrophoresis and flow cytometry. The expressions of Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 of HL-60 cells were detected by RT-PCR. The Control group did not receive any treatment. Immunocytochemistry was used to detect the VEGF and Mcl-1 protein in bone marrow cells from 8 patients with newly diagnosed or relapsed leukemia, 14 leukemia patients in complete remission, and from 5 normal children.

RESULTSDifferent concentrations of VEGF markedly inhibited the apoptosis of HL-60 cells and decreased the apoptosis induced by VP16 exposure. The Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 mRNA and protein in HL-60 cells treated with VEGF were significantly higher than those in the Control group. The expressions of VEGF and Mcl-1 protein in bone marrow cells of the newly diagnosed and relapsed patients were significantly higher than in patients in complete remission.

CONCLUSIONVEGF can inhibit the apoptosis of HL-60 cells possibly through increasing the expressions of Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 mRNA and protein, which may represent one of the mechanisms responsible for human acute leukemia. The expressions of VEGF, Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 might be used as the markers for the prognostic evaluation of leukemia.
