This study is to establish physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models of famitinib in rat and monkey, and then to predict the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of famitinib in human based on the PBPK models. According to published paper, previous studies and the chemical properties of famitinib predicted by ACD/ADME suite and SimCYP, the PBPK models of rat and monkey were established and optimized using GastroPlus. And then, the PBPK models were applied to predict the pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution of famitinib in human. The results showed that the PBPK models of rat and monkey can fit the observed data well, and the AUC0-∞, ratios of observed and calculated data in rat and monkey were 1.00 and 0.97, respectively. The AUC0-∞, ratios of observed and predicted data in human were 1.63 (rat to human) and 1.57 (monkey to human), respectively. The rat and monkey PBPK models of famitinib were well established, and the PBPK models were applied in predicting pharmacokinetic of famitinib in human successfully. Hence, the PBPK model of famitinib in human could be applied in future drug-drug interaction study.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and western medicine in treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)combined with respiratory failure,TCM syndromes of spleen-kidney-yang deficiency and phlegm-dampness by comparison between the integrated therapy and simple western therapy in treatment of the disease. Methods 160 patients with AECOPD combined with respiratory failure,spleen-kidney-yang deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome in the intensive care units(ICU)of Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of TCM and other four hospitals were randomly allocated into two groups in this double-blinded,multicenter,prospective,randomized,controlled trial. In the control group (78 cases),western medicine and placebo were given to the patients,and in the treatment group(82 cases), conventional western medicine plus fei-shuai mistura 25 mL were administered,four times per day,the therapeutic course lasting for 2 weeks in both groups. The all-cause mortality,respiratory failure-cause mortality,improvement of modified Medical Research Council(mMRC)Dyspnea Scale grades,6 minutes walk distance(6MWD),the forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC)were observed in the 28 days after the end of treatment. Results In the comparisons between the control and treatment groups,there were no statistical significant differences in the all-cause mortality〔54.87%(45/82)vs. 64.10%(50/78)〕and the cases of FEV1/FVC(both P>0.05)in the 28 days after the end of treatment;the 28 day respiratory failure-cause mortality was significantly decreased〔19.51%(16/82)vs. 33.33%(26/78),P<0.05〕,the number of patients with mMRC Dyspnea Scale grades (1-2)was obviously increased(22 cases vs. 7 cases,P<0.05),and the number of patients with 6 MWD grades (4-6)was markedly enhanced in the treatment group(21 cases vs. 8 cases,P<0.05). Conclusions The integrated TCM and western medicine has better therapeutic results in improvement of the patients' degree of dyspnea, 6 MWD and respiratory failure mortality than simple treatment with western therapy for treatment of patients with AECOPD combined with respiratory failure, spleen-kidney-yang deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome. However,in regard to the effect on pulmonary function and all cause mortality,the integrated therapy for treatment of such patients in short term has no significant effect.

Objective To investigate the relationship betwee n tricuspid insufficiency (TI) and the function of the right ventricle, degree o f pulmonary vascular pathological change in patients with rheumatic heart diseas e so as to provide the indication of operation for treating TI. Methods 41 cases of rheumatic heart disease with TI accompanying with bicuspid pathological changes were reviewed. Correlation analysis was done between the s everity of TI and the right ventricular size(RVS), pulmonary artery pressure(PAP ), pulmonary artery resistance(PAR) etc. Results It was found t hat the size of the right ventricle, PAP, PAR were positively correlated to th e degree of TI. Tricuspid annuloplasty should be carried out in patients with RV D>40 mm, PAR >48 kPa*s/L, PAP>8 kPa. Conclusion TI resulted ma inly from insufficient function of the right ventricle and marked patholog ical changes of the pulmonary blood vessels. Doppler echocardiography evaluation for the function of right ventricle and pathological condition of pulmonary blo od vessels might be of significant in deciding whether tricuspid annuloplasty sh ould be performed simutaneously in patients of bicuspid valve replacement.
