AIM: To study the enhancing effect of penetration enhancer on percutaneous absorption of antifungal agents. METHODS: Percutaneous penetration experiment was performed on device in vitro, and the deposit effects were observed with vivoperception. RESULTS: Combination of 1-menthol (1%) and azone (1%) showed the best effect on percutaneous absorption of cidopicox olamine, and 1-menthol (1%) had the best effect on percutaneous absorption of salysic acid. The compound penetration enhancer, consisting of 1-menthol (1%), azone (1%), propylene glycol ( 2.5%) and oleic acid ( 2.5%), had prominent action on absorption of cidopirox olamine through rabbit skins, and shorten the lag times obviously. CONCLUSION: L-menthol and azone can significantly enhance the percutaneous absorption of both salysic acid and cidopicox olamine. Combination of 1-menthol and azone can further increase the absorption.c

OBJECTIVE:Indomethacinum(Ind) and diclofenac sodium(Dcs) were taken as model drugs to study the enhancing effect of l-menthol on percutaneous absorption of two compounds with different characteristics,and to probe into the effect of combined use of l-menthol with azone.METHODS:Percutaneous penetration experiment was performed on in vitro device and deposit effect was observed with vivoperception.RESULTS:l-menthol could significantly enhance the percutaneous absorption and shorten the lag times(T1ag) of both Ind and Dcs.The enhancing effects of l-menthol,used either alone or in combination with azone,were several times stronger on Ind than on Dcs.Combined use of two enhances was more effective in enhancing penetration and longer in T1ag than single use of l-menthol,especially for Dcs.The study on deposit effect showed that l-menthol could increase the penetration rate than control agent(P

AIM: To investigate the effect of l menthol on percutaneous absorption of metronidazole through changing the skin character in rabbits. METHODS: Using rabbit skin with different character as transdermal barrier, and l menthol as transdermal enhancer, the absorbance of metronidazole was determined with a two cells diffusion apparatus in vitro, and its permeability was figured out. RESULTS: The transdermal action of l menthol on percutaneous absorption of metronidazole was very evident when the corneum was eliminated; l menthol and azone could increase the desposit function of metronidazole in the intact skin, but had no effect on the skin without corneum. The result also showed that the percutaneous absorption and intact skins desposit function of metronidazole had no difference between l menthol and azone. CONCLUSION: L menthol can increase the percutaneous absorption of metronidazole. The site of the action is mainly the corneum which has desposit function.

Chronic venous disorder (CVD) of the lower extremities generally induces dermatologic complications in lower extremity skin, such as hyperpigmentation. If not treated effectively, the lesions may develop into severe outcomes, including dermal ulcer or necrosis.

Objective:To evaluate the promoting surgery incision healing effect of recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth fac-tor ( rh-aFGF) in the treatment of children with open fractures. Methods:A multicenter, randomized and controlled clinical trial was conducted to study the efficacy of rh-aFGF. Totally 120 cases of injured children (age<14y) were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group (n=60) was given rh-aFGF washing during the operation and spraying after the operation, and the control group ( n=60) was treated with normal saline. Both groups were given traction, screw or Kirschner wire fixation. The healing time, healing status and delayed healing were observed and compared in the two groups. Results:Stage I healing rate, the complete healing time and delayed healing rate in the treatment group was 86. 6%, (20. 3 ± 5. 6)d and 3. 3%, respectively, while that in the control group was 56.7%, (23.4 ±6.2)d and 15.0%, respectively. The differences between the two groups were significant (P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion:Rh-aFGF can effectively promote wound healing and shorten the healing time. For all these positive aspects,rh-aFGF de-serves wider clinical application in postoperative rehabilitation after open fractures.

Background and purpose: The prognosis of completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a significant concern. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates range from 10% to 30%. This study aimed to analyze the patterns of first failure in completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) NSCLC and to assess the actuarial risk of developing metastasis at different sites and to guild standard clinical practice. Methods: Patients withⅢA(N2) NSCLC who had undergone radical surgery in our hospital from Jan. 2005 to Jul. 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. The progression-free survival (PFS), the OS, patterns of first failure, the actuarial risk were analyzed. The cumulative incidence of first failure was determined using the Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: Among 357 patients who met the eligibility criteria with completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) NSCLC, 5-year OS was 36.9%. There were 284 (77.6%) patients experiencing disease failure: 61 with local failure, 197 with local and distant failures, and 26 patients with local recurrence as the first failure. Brain, bone and lung were the main sites of distant failure as the first failure, while brain was the most common site. There were 67 patients developing brain metastases (BM) as the first site of failure. The median time of local failure as the first site of failure was 13.6 months, and the time to develop distant recurrence was 15.1 months. 92.5% BM developed in 3 years after the complete resection. Conclusion: As the first failure, the rate of distant failure was much higher than that of local failure in completely resected stage ⅢA(N2) NSCLC. Brain was the most common site of distant failure as the first failure. These results can be helpful in guiding standard clinical practice and evaluating the outcome of comprehensive treatment.

AIM To establish the expermental model in vitro for the study of mechanism of antitumor drug resistance and the screening of antitumor drug. METHODS By continuously exposing cells to gradually increasing concentration of drug and agar cell colony forming technique, using dye exclusive method for determing cytotoxic effect, a murine leukemia L1210 cell subline were established,which exhibited 40 fold resistance to Cis diamminedichloro platinum(DDP). RESULTS The doubling times, plate efficiency, cell cycle, DNA index and cell morphology of DDP resistant L1210 subline were similarto those of its parant cell line. When the cell subline was stored with DDP at -196℃ for 6 months and then was recovered, its characterization of antitumor drug resistance was still maintained to a period of 5 months without DDP. DDP resistant L1210 subline was characterized with cross resistance to Carboplatin, Mitomycin, Thio Tepa, Methotrexate, Vincristin and Mustine Hydrochloride, but with no cross resistance to Harringtonine and Adriamycin. It was seemed more sensitive to Cytarabine and Fluorouracil. CONCLUSION DDP resistant L1210 subline is a good experimental model in vitro for the study of mechanism of antitumor drug resistance and the screening of antitumor drug.
