Objective To investigate the protective effect of rhein lysinate (RHL)on the liver of the models with diabetic rats,and to provide basis for research on treatment of fatty liver in the patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods The models of diabetic rats were established by intraperitoneally injecting streptozotocin(STZ).40 rats were divided into control,model,25 mg·kg-1 RHL,and 50 mg·kg-1 RHL groups(n=10).The levels of malonaldehyde (MDA)and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) were detected by thiobarbituric acid method, pyrogallol autoxidation method, and NADPH coupling method, respectively.The pathological changes of liver tissue were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE)staining;the content of fat in liver tissue was observed by Nile red staining;the expression levels of fat synthesis-related proteins were detected by Western blotting method.Results Compared with control group,the body weight of the rats in model group was decreased and the levels of blood glucose,total cholesterol(TC)and triglyceride(TG)were increased (P<0.05);the activities of SOD and GSH-Px in liver tissue were decreased (P<0.05);there were a plenty of fat vacuoles and fat accumulation in liver tissue. The signal pathway of fat synthesis-related ERK1/2-SREBP-1c was activated in model group;compared with model group,it was inhibited in 25 and 50 mg· kg-1 RHL groups (P<0.05).Compared with model group,the blood glucose,TC and TG of the rats in 25 and 50 mg ·kg-1 RHL groups were decreased (P<0.05);the activities of SOD and GSH-Px were increased (P<0.05);however the body weight had no change. Compared with model group, the fatty vacuoles and the fatty accumulation of liver tissue in 25 and 50 mg·kg-1 RHL groups were decreased. Conclusion The hepatic protection of RHL is correlated with the inhibition of oxidative stress, fat degeneration and fatty accumulation of liver tissues.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for promoting the development of related legislation work on ensuring pediatric drug use in China. METHODS:The legislation process of pediatric drug use in US,the effects of current Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act and Pediatric Research Equity Act on pediatric drug use in US were intrduced and analyzed,suggestions on guarantee-ing the accessibility and safety on pediatric drug use in China were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The policy6-month period of pediatric exclusive protectionin Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act has motivated the enthusiasm of phar-maceutical companies developing pediatric studies,while it affects the marketing of generic drugs. Pediatric Research Equity Act has achieved remarkable effect in terms of ensuring the safety of pediatric drug use by forcing pharmaceutical companies to carry out pediatrics assessments,while there is no enough force for the marketed drugs that has not been widely used for children. En-couragement and enforcement are useful methods for promoting development of pediatric drug use. It is suggested to take measures like modifingone drug two formsin Prescription Management Regulations,accelerating approvals of related pediatric drugs on the premise that safety is guaranteed,implementing tax preference for related pharmaceutical companies that produced pediatric drugs,promoting the entry of drug reimbursement list and empowering CFDA to force pharmaceutical companies to implement pedi-atric studies to promote the accessibility and safety of pediatric drugs.

A quantitative analysis method of multi-components with a single marker (QAMS) for simultaneous determination of six marker compounds (one from phenolic acids and five from phthalides) in Chuanxiong Rhizoma was established by applying HPLC and using butylidenephthalide as the internal reference substance. And also the feasibility and accuracy of the established method for quality evaluation and application of Chuanxiong Rhizoma were investigated and validated. The analysis was performed with the mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile - 0.2% aqueous formic acid. The flow rate was 1.0 mL . min-1 and the column temperature was maintained at 30 °C. The detection wavelengths were set at 252 nm (for ferulic acid, Z-ligustilide, and butylidenephthalide) and 266 nm (for senkyunolide I, senkyunolide A, and coniferyl ferulate), separately, and 20 µL was injected for analysis with gradient elution. The results showed that there were no significant differences observed between the HPLC-QAMS method and the external standard method (RSD <5%). The relative correction factors were credible (RSD < 5%) in changed chromatographic conditions. The established HPLC-QAMS method can be accurately used for simultaneously evaluating and controlling the quality of Chuanxiong Rhizoma with multi-components.

Tumor tissue is a complex of tumor cells, stromal cells, and extracellular matrix, and they constitute a disordered and aggressive microenvironment, which plays an indispensable role in the occurrence and development of tumors. In breast cancer, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) not only promote the occurrence, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance of tumor, but also participate in events including angiogenesis, lymph angiogenesis, extracellular matrix remodeling, and reconstruction of the microenvironment, which are known to induce cancer. Therefore, a new strategy for tumor therapy is provided by targeting CAF. This article reviews the research progress of CAF in breast cancer.

Objective The present study was designed to investigate the risk factors affecting bleeding during percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Methods The records of 218 patients with percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedure by a single surgeon were retrospectively reviewed.The mean age was 48 years ( range,19 -70).One hundred and forty six patients had staghore stones,and 7 patients had previous open or percutaneous nephrolithotomy histories.Forty-one patients had concomitant diabetes mellitus,and 89 cases had hypertension.The following factors including age,sex,BMI,diabetes status,hypertension status,stone type,calix of puncture,previous open or percutaneous nephrolithotomy history,number of accesses,size of accesses,operative time,and surgeon experience were analyzed.Univariate analysis and multivariate step regression analysis were used for statistical assessment. Results 207 procedures were successfully performed,and 11 patients failed because of difficulty to establish the accesses.Single-tract was used in 176 cases and multiple-tract was used in 31 cases.163 cases were performed via a 18 F access and 44 cases via a 24 F access.The mean operative time was 78.4 min.The overall blood transfusion rate was 7.7%,and stone type ( P =0.034),diabetes ( P =0.030),number of accesses ( P =0.019 ),size of accesses ( P =0.008) and operative time (P =0.001 ) were the risk factors affecting blood transfusion requirement.The average hemoglobin (Hb) drop after percutaneous nephrolithotomy procedures was 11.2 g/L,and stone type ( P < 0.001 ),diabetes ( P =0.015 ),number of accesses ( P =0.016),size of accesses ( P < 0.001 ) and operative time ( P < 0.001 ) were the risk factors affecting Hb drop.The following covariates including Hb drop:age,sex,BMI,previous open or percutaneous nephrolithotomy history,hypertension status,calix of puncture and surgeon experience were not risk factors affecting blood transfusion requirement and Hb drop.Multivariate stepwise regression analysis showed that diabetes ( OR =1.75 ),stone type ( OR =1.92),number of accesses ( OR =2.45 ),size of accesses ( OR =1.32) and operative time ( OR =1.66) significantly increased risk of bleeding. Conclusions Stone type,diabetes,number of accesses,size of accesses and operative time were the risk factors affecting blood loss during percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
