Objective To evaluate the similarity of dissolution profiles of self-produced and original drug cefuroxime axetil tab-lets.Methods Based on the dissolution detection method in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia,the dissolution behaviors of the self-pro-duced preparation and original drug were investigated in pure water,0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid,0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid, pH4.5 and pH6.8 medium and the rotation speed of 50,25,75 r/mim.The stripping curves were evaluated by the f2 factor method.

2.Modified method of establishing a rat model of myocardial infarction
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(18):2886-2891
BACKGROUND:An animal model of myocardial infarction is of great significance for the study of the pathogenesis, pathophysiology and evaluation of treatment methods of human coronary artery disease. Many researchers aim to improve survival rate and the success rate of model induction.
OBJECTIVE:To improve the method of making a rat model of myocardial infarction.
METHODS:One hundred Wistar rats were divided into model group (n=80) and sham-operated group (n=20). The rats were intraperitoneal y anesthetized with 3%sodium pentobarbital. Tracheostomy was operated. An automatic breathing apparatus was utilized for assisted breathing. A left anterior thoracotomy was performed at the fourth intercostal space. The left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated. Sham-operated rats underwent similar surgery but without coronary artery ligation. The thoracic cavity was closed layer by layer. The breathing apparatus was removed and tracheal intubation was also removed. To prevent suffocation, the trachea and the neck incision were not closed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Heart morphology and hematoxylin-eosin staining demonstrated that the success rate of establishing myocardial infarction model was 98.6%. The survival rate of model group at 3 weeks after surgery was 88.75%. Total y nine rats died, including seven dead rats during operation and within 24 hours after operation, and two dead rats in later stage. The survival rate of the sham-operated group was 100%. We modified the method of establishing a rat model of myocardial infarction and improved the operation success rate and survival rate of rats, such as anesthesia method, longitudinal incision during tracheotomy, without closing the trachea after operation, and the method of opening and closing the chest.

Clinical Medicine of China 2011;27(7):756-757
Objective To analyze the clinical methods of type Ⅲ Pilon fracture internal fixation. Methods The internal fixation with steel plate were performed in 36 cases with Ruedi-AllgoWer type, Ⅲ Pilon fracture and all patients had early post-operative rehabilitation functional exercise. Results Thirty-six cases were followed up for an average period of 16 months. The fracture healed completely in all cases and the successful rates of good function reached 88.9% (32/36) according to YU Guang-rong's evaluation standard. Conclusion For Ruedi-AUgower type Ⅲ Pilon fracture, appropriate surgical time combined with internal fixation with steel plate and early post-operative function exercise showed satisfactory therapeutic effect.

Adjuvants have been used as critical components of vaccine.They were used to stabilize the antigens and potentiate the immune responses.Dose sparing is also of interests in recent years to be applied in potential pandemic situations or to lower the costs of vaccines.With the emerging nanotechnology in many aspects including the use in biomedical applications,the application of nanomaterials as vaccine adjuvants also attracted a lot of attentions in recent years.With favorable biological properties,such as well-defined and well-formed nanoparticles,biocompatibility,biodegradability and ability to induce humoral immunity and cellular immunity simultaneously,calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CaP) have the potentials to be developed as an immune potentiator to be used as vaccine adjuvants.Here,we reviewed the basic properties of CaP and their applications as vaccine adjuvants with antigens of different modalities such as inactivated virus,protein and naked DNAs.The mechanism of the adjuvanting effects is briefly described.Further the development of CaP as vaccine adjuvants with some designed surface modification could lead to next generation vaccine adjuvants with improved immune potentiating properties and safety profiles.

Objective:To investigate the expression of Toll-like receptors(TLRs)signaling pathway in chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS)with nasal polyps.Method:Gene microarray analysis was used to detect the expression of TLRs signaling pathway in CRS with nasal polyps.Result:Of 19 differentially expressed(two-fold changes),4genes were upregulated and 15 genes were downregulated.Conclusion:The differentially expressed genes in TLRs signaling pathway may exert its effect in the pathogenesis of CRS.In addition,the roles of TLR9 and its agonists need further study.

Objective To compare safety,completeness and long-term results between lobectomy by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS) and thoracotomy for clinical stage Ⅰ / Ⅱ non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Between July 2010 and December 2011,673 patients with clinical stage Ⅰ / Ⅱ NSCLC from 11 hospitals underwent pulmonary lobectomy(425 VATS,248 thoracotomy).Patients were matched by propensity score matoh method to create two comparable groups,402 patients remained eligible for analysis,with 201 patients in each group.Perioperative variables and follow-up results were compared between the two groups.Results Patients characteristics were comparable between the two groups,except for a slight lower preoperative FEV1,FEV1% and FEV1/FVC in the VATS group (P < 0.05).There was one postoperative death in each group.There was no significant difference in operative time,mediastinal lymph nodes stations/numbers dissected and postoperative drainage time between the two groups.The operative blood loss was lower in the VATS group(P < 0.001),the mean hospital stay was shorter in the VATS group(P < 0.001).Postoperative pneumonia/pulmonary atelectasis rate was lower in the VATS group than in the thoracotomy group (5.1% vs.10.4%,P < 0.05).Median follow-up time was 20 months in both groups.One-year and two-year recurrence-free survival was 90% vs.88% and 80% vs.70%,respectively(P =0.163).One-year and two-year overall survival were 96% vs.95% and 88% vs.85%,respectively(P =0.226).Conclusion For clinical stage Ⅰ / Ⅱ NSCLC,VATS lobectomy is a feasible procedure with shorter hospital stay and less complications,while its surgical and oncologic outcome is comparable to that of thoracotomy lobectomy.

Objective To study the expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 in human gastric cancer and evaluate their effects on carcinogenesis,cell proliferation,invasion and metastasis of gastric carcinoma,as well as clinical significance.Methods The expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 were detected by immunohistochemical method (streptavidin-peroxidase) in the tissues of 75 primary gastric carcinomas and 15 gastric ulcers.Results The positive expression rate of DCR3 in gastric carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues,and the expression of PTEN and Fas was obviously lower than that in normal tissues (P<0.01).The expression of DCR3 was negatively correlated with Fas and PTEN respectively (r=-0.720,P<0.001; r=-0.336,P<0.001).There was a positive correlation between PTEN and Fas.The expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 was closely correlated with lymph node metastasis,clinical stage,histological differentiation grade and tumor depth of gastric cancer,but not related to sex,age and tumor size (P>0.05).Conclusion PTEN,DCR3 and Fas have mutual restrictive relationships in the process of invasion and metastasis in gastric cancer.Detecting the expression of PTEN,Fas and DCR3 in gastric cancer is helpful to judge the malignant biological behavior of gastric cancer at a different angle,which may be considered as reliability index in clinic diagnosis,judging curative effect and monitoring the prognosis of gastric carcinoma.
