Objective:To study the efficacy and safety of mirtazapine and paroxetine in patients with first-episode climacteric depression. Methods:A 8-week double-blind study was conducted with 90 female patients suffered with climacteric first-episode depression. Subjects were randomly assigned to either mirtazapine (n=45) or paroxetine (n=45). All subjects were evaluated with Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression-17 (HAMD-17), Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety,and Treatment Emergent Symptom scale (TESS) at baseline, the end of week 1, 4 and 8 after treatment. The study had lasted for 8 weeks.Results:The response rate between two groups (mirtazapine 88.9% vs paroxetine 82.2%) was similar. There were significant differences on the scores of HAMD between the two groups at the end of 1st and 8th week, and HAMA at the 1st week after treatment(21.3?3.5/25.2?2.9,18.2?3.2/21.5?2.4,t=-2.367、-3.514,P=0.042、0.032;7.2?3.5/9.8?2.3,t=-3.258,P=0.035). Mirtazapine had increased food appetite(15.6%), body weight(13.3%), hydropsia(8.9%), dry mouth(6.7%), sleep disorder and nausea(4.4%). Meanwhile paroxetine had dry mouth(22.2%), sleep disorder(20.0%), nausea(17.8%), tremor(15.6%), restlessness/agitation(13.3%) and sexual disturbance(11.1%).Conclusion:Mirtazapine has rapid response, strongly antidepressive effect in female climacteric first-episode patients and less side-effects.

Paeonol is an nerb which has been used us an anodyne. The analgesic action of Paeonol has been shown in this paper by using the following methods: Mice licking hind paw on hot plate (55℃); mice wring evoked by ip 0. 7% acetic acid 10 ml ? kg-1; continuous pain stimuli elicited by sc 2. 5% formaldehyde 0. 03 ml in fore paw of mice.No tolerance of analgesic effect was found after daily sc of Paeonol 100 mg ? kg-1for 7 d in mice assayed with hot plate method. In naloxone-challenge test, no jumping response was observed in mice treated with Paeonol 690mg ? kg-1, the maximal tolerance dose. The results indicate that Paeonol induced no morphine-like tolerance norphysical dependence.The analgesic action of Paeonol was not an-tagonizd by naloxone, but was eliminated by in-traperitoneal injection reserpine 3 mg ? kg-1 3 h prior to Paeonol. These results demonstrate that Paeonol belongs to the non-narcotic analgesic, and suggested that the analgesic action of Paeonol may be related to the monoamine level in brain.

BACKGROUND: Under the cellular physiological condition, 15.3% N-acetylated chitosan has poor solubility which limits cellular microencapsulation process.OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to prepare 50% N-acetylated chitosan with 15.3% N-acetylated chitosan and investigate its feasibility for preparing chitosan microcapsule used for hepatocyte embedding after in conjunction with methacrylic acid-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-methyl methacrylate (MAA-HEMA-MMA) copolymer under the cellular physiological condition.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: This study, a control observation experiment, was performed at the Central Laboratory, First Hospital Affiliated to Jinan University, Guagnzhou, Guangdong Province, China between January and October 2006.MATERIALS: 15.3% N-acetylated chitosan was provided by Sigma-Aldrich Company, Singapore. Hepatocytes were acquired from male Wistar rats, weighing 250-300g, by two-step collagenase digestion method.METHODS: Hepatocytes were microencapsulated using 50% N-acetylated chitosan and MAA-HEMA-MMA copolymer at 25℃ under aseptic condition.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Microcapsule permeability was expressed with the diffusion degree of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-dextran in the empty microcapsule. The homeostasis of microencapsulated hepatocytes was measured by mechanical shearing-crush tests. The albumin-synthesizing capability of microencapsulated hepatocytes was determined by enzyme-labeled immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Urea-synthesizing capability was tested using kits (Sigma Diagnostics, USA) at the wavelength of 540 nm by colorimetric assay. Cytochrome P450 activity was determined using confocal laser microscopes and quantitated by the fluorescence intensity of products of 0-dealkylated 7-ethoxy resorufin, a substrate of cytochrome P450IA1. The plate-cultured hepatocytes were taken as controls.RESULTS: With increasing mass concentration of 50% N-acetylated chitosan, the diffusion degree of Mr 20000 and Mr 40000 FITC-dextran presented with a decreasing tendency, while the diffusion degree of Mr 70000 FITC-dextran was low and did not alter markedly. When the microencapsulated hepatocyte density was 2×109 L-1, the broken rate of microcapsule was only about 6% after 24 hours of shaking. Under the same condition of shaking, empty microcapsules were all broken after 4 hours of shaking. After 1 day of culture, approximately 30μmol/d urea could be synthesized among 1×106 bepatocytes that was markedly higher than the plate culture experimental result, 15μmol/d. After 7 days of culture, urea-synthesizing capability was close between in the microencapsulated hepatocytes and in the plate cultured hepatocytes. In the first 3 days of culture, 10μg/d albumin was acquired from 1×106 hepatocytes, and after 7 days of culture, only about 5μg/d albumin was obtained. The albumin level in the whole culture process was higher than plate culture results. After 1 day of culture, cytochrome P450 activity in the microencapsulated hepatocytes was higher approximately 8 times compared to plate culture results. After 1 week of culture, cytochrome P450 activity still retained at 50% of 1-day culture level.CONCLUSION: Microcapsule prepared by 50% N-acetylated chitosan under the physiological condition has good permeability and structural stability during the process of culture. Compared with in vivo surface culture test, degenerated chitosan microcapsule is better favorable to in vitro function of hepatocytes.

Objective To study the significance of expression of VEGF in the hepatocellular carcinoma tissue(HCT) and the expression of AFPmRNA in the peripheral vein blood in hepatocellular carcinoma patients(HCC) with metastasis. Methods AFPmRNA was detected in peripheral blood before operation and the expression of VEGF in HCC tissue was analyzed by immunohistochemistry after operation in 20 patients. The relations between the expression of VEGF protein and AFPmRNA with clinicpathological parameters were analyzed statistically. Results (1)Among the 20 patients with HCC, 10 were positive expression of VEGF protein, which had no relation with the clinicopathological parameters. (2)Of the 20 patients, positive expression of AFPmRNA were detected in the peripheral blood in 15 patients, and AFP≥200?g/L were found in 13 patients.(3) AFPmRNA in the peripheral blood vein was detected in 9 of 10 patients with VEGF positive expression. Conclusions (1)Either VEGF protein expressed in HCC tissue or AFPmRNA detected in the peripheral blood could be as a guide line to judge the tendency of the metastasis of HCC,however former is simpler and the later is more sensitive . (2)The detection of AFPmRNA in the peripheral blood is more sensitive than the detection of serum AFP lever for surveillance of the high risk patients and postoperative follow up of the patients with HCC.

Objective To evaluate the applicability and security of transpancreatic precut sphincterotomy vs double guidewire technique for cannulation in difficult bile duct cannulation in endoscopic retrograde eholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Methods Retrospective analysis of 158 cases difficult bile duct cannulation in ERCP from January 2012 to January 2014, according to the intubation tube method, we divided all the cases into 3 groups, transpancreatic precut sphincterotomy group (group A); double guide wire technique group (group B); single guide wire technique group (group C). Then compare the intubation success rate and the incidence of complications among the 3 groups. Results 54 of 58 patients in group A intubation successful, the success rate is 93.1%, 50 of 56 patients in group B intubation successful, the success rate is 89.3%, 26 of 44 patients in group C intubation successful, the success rate is 59.1%, there was no significant difference between group A and B(P > 0.05), group A and group C, group B and C have significant difference (P < 0.05). In group A, 4 cases were complicated with acute pancreatitis, hemorrhage in 6 cases, infection in 2 cases, the complication rate is 20.7%; In group B, 5 cases were complicated with postoperative pancreatitis, 4 cases of infection, incidence of complications is 16.1%; 7 patients were complicated with pancreatitis in group C, hemorrhage in 2 cases, infection in 4 cases, complication rates is 29.5%, 3 groups were no perforation occurred.The complication rate of group B is lower than in group A, but no significant difference (P > 0.05), group A and group C, B and C complication rates had significant difference (P < 0.05). Conclusions When selective bile duct intubation is difficulty and guide wire thread into the pancreatic duct, continue to single guide wire have low intubation success rate and higher incidence of complications,transpancreatic precut sphincterotomy and double guide wire technique can effectively improve the success rate of intubation, and complication rates are relatively low, no significant difference between the two.
