Objective To observe the safety and effectiveness of inductive chemotheray with lobaplatin plus 5-Fu (LF regimen) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy with lobaplatin for local-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients,and investigate the appropriate lobaplatin dose for the concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Methods Newly diagnosed local-regionally advanced NPC patients signed informed consent.The inductive chemotherapy was lobaplatin 30 mg/m2 + 5-Fu 4 g/m2 civ 120 h for 2 cycles every 21 days,then concurrent lobaplatin chemoradiotherapy was conducted.The initial lobaplatin dose for concurrent chemoradiotherapy was 50 mg/m2 with at least 3 cases in every dose level.If 2 of 3 patients presented dose-limiting toxicity (DLT),5 mg/m2 dose decreased for the next level until maximal tolerant dose (MTD) reached.The tumor response was evaluated after inductive chemotherapy,at the end of the chemoradiotherapy,3 months after chemoradiotherapy and 6 months after chemoradiotherapy.Results From Dec 2011 to Apr 2012,11 patients were enrolled in this study.After 2 courses of inductive chemoradiotherapy,CR,PR and SD were observed in 1,8 and 2 patients,respectively.At the end of the chemoradiotherapy and 3 months after chemoradiotherapy,CR and PR were observed in 10 and 1 patients,respectively.Six months after the chemoradiotherapy,all patients were CR.For the patients(3 in each arm) received 50 mg/m2 or 45 mg/m2 lobapaltin concurrent chemoradiotherapy,2 patients in each arm presented DLT.For the 5 patients received 40 mg/m2 lobapaltin concurrent chemoradiotherapy,no patients presented DLT.40 mg/m2 was suggested as the MTD.Inhibition of platelet was the major DLT.Conclusion Inductive chemotherapy with LF regimen and concurrent chemoradiotherapy with lobaplatin is safe and effective for local-regionally advanced NPC patients and the MTD of lobaplatin for the concurrent chemoradiotherapy is 40 mg/m2.Further clinical trial with large sample is expected.

Objective To evaluate the effect of problem-based learning (PBL)versus tradi-tional methods in medical statistics. Methods Computer retrieval was conducted to search for con-trolled studies comparing PBL and traditional methods. The quality of included studies was critically evaluated and data were analyzed by using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0 software. Results A total of 21 articles were retrieved,but only 7 were included. The results of Meta analysis showed that there was no significant difference between PBL and traditional methods in both the passing rate of student's score (RR=1.09,95%CI=0.98-1.23,P=0.12>0.05)and the exact score (WMD=0.30, 95%CI=-0.06 -0.67,P=0.10>0.05). Conclusion PBL showed no better learning results in medical statistics compared with traditional methods.

A simple hollow fiber based centrifuge ultrafiltration pretreatment procedure has been developed for the analysis of active components with high polarity in Chinese traditional and herbal drugs which usually contain macromolecule impurities. The procedure combined with HPLC was applied to the determination of hesperidin in Huoxiangzhengqi water. Sample solutions were purified by our patent hollow fiber centrifuge ultrafiltration device. Under the effect of the centrifgual force, micromolecules were removed from solution samples, thus it increased the service life of the column. The accuracy and repeatability of this method have also been improved. The separation was carried out on a Promosil C18 column (4.6 mm x 150 mm, 5 microm) with methanol -0.5% acetic acid solution (35:65) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1). The detector wavelength was 283 nm and the column temperature was 30 degrees C. A good linear relation was obtained in the range of 4.69 - 150 mg x L(-1) (r = 0.999 7) and the average recovery was 103.0% with RSD of 1.9%. This method is simple, rapid and accurate, and it provides a simple and cheap ultrafiltration means for the analysis of the polar components in Chinese traditional and herbal drugs.

OBJECTIVETo establish a convenient and rapid method of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) for the extraction of psoralen and isopsoralen in Psoralea corylifolia.

METHODThe effects of various parameters on the MAE were investigated with several single-factor tests, and compared with the traditional extraction.

RESULTThe optimal conditions of MAE were as follows: the extractine time was 3 min, and the ratio of solvent to material was 400 mL x g(-1) by using methanol as the solvent. Compared with soxhlet extraction, heat reflux extraction, and ultrasound-assisted extraction, MAE needed only 3 min to give the highest yield of psoralen and isopsoralen, while the other extraction methods needed several hours and gave lower yield.

CONCLUSIONThe proposed method has greatly shortened extraction time and improved extraction yield, so it provides a neotype, simple and rapid measure for the separation of psoralen and isopsoralen from P. corylifolia.

Objective To explore the effect of high glucose on the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in rat glomerular endothelial cells and its probable mechanism.Methods Rat glomerular endothelial cells were stimulated by culture medium containing 5 mmol/L or 30 mmol/L glucose (with or without pre-treatment of captopril and chymostatin) for 12 h,24 h,48 h,72 h.ELISA,real-time PCR,Western blotting and confocal immunofluorescence microscopy were employed to examine the follows:the angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ ) concentration in cell lysate and the culture medium; the mRNA levels of angiotensinogen and renin; the protein levels of angiotensin Ⅱtype 1 receptor (AT1R),angiotensin Ⅱ type 2 receptor (AT2R),renin and angiotensinogen in cell lysate; localization of intracellular AT1R,AT2R and renin.Results Exposure to high glucose for only 12 h or 72 h resulted in a significant increase of Ang Ⅱ levels in the culture medium compared with control cells (P＜0.05),but only exposure to high glucose for 72 h resulted in a significant increase of Ang Ⅱ levels in the cell lysate compared with control cells (P＜0.05).However,exposure to high glucose for 24 h or 48 h had no effects on Ang Ⅱ levels in the cell lysate or culture medium.The captopril and chymostatin were able to antagonize high glucose induced Ang Ⅱ generation when exposure time was 72 h but not 12 h.Exposure to high glucoseincreased the mRNA level of angiotensinogen,but reduced the level of renin mRNA,meanwhile angiotensinogen protein increased,and AT1 protein reduced,but protein levels of AT2R and renin were unchanged.However,the transformation of AT2R from the cell nucleus to cytoplasm was observed.Conclusions High glucose can activate the local renin-angiotensin system in rat glomerular endothelial cells,and the probable mechanism may contribute to ACE and non-ACE pathways.The effects of high glucose on glomerular endothelial cells may also involve in the substrate and receptors of Ang Ⅱ.
