1.Research progress in opioids induced oxidative injury
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(07):-
Opioids were widely applied to analgesia and treatment of coughing, diarrhea, anxiety and sleepless. Opioids had toxic effects while playing pharmaceutical roles with oxidative injury as one of the most important toxic effects. Multi-organ or systems in our body were more liable to be damaged either by opioids reduced concentration of glutathione, the reductant or antioxidant, or by increased concentration of reactive oxidative species. To further clarify the research progress in opioids induced oxidative injury is very important towards opioids applications as well as prevention and cure of drug abuse.

In present study, standard method and standard operation practice for measuring the activities of influenza neuraminidase and its inhibitors have been established. The accuracy and stability of the method has been evaluated. Standard operation is as following: 10 microL sample, 30 microL neuraminidase and 60 microL substrate are added to one well of a 96-well plate, and then incubated at 37 degrees C for 1 h. The reaction was stopped with NaOH before fluorescence intensity determination. One unit of neuraminidase is defined as the amount of enzyme that produces 1 nmol 4-MU in 1 h under above conditions. The inhibition accuracy is indicated by an uncertainty measurement of 6.51 x 10(-12), and its stability was reaffirmed by determination of oseltamivir acid. In this study, systematic assessment of neuraminidase inhibitory assay not only provided theoretical basis of its application in drug discovery, but also made preliminary attempt to use uncertainty measurement as a parameter in biological measurement.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of low field MRI for adenomyosis. Methods MRI features of adenomyosis pathologically proved in 18 cases were retrospectively analysed.Results 15 cases were diffusive adenomyosis,the junctional zones of uterus were exteusive thickened to 12.0~32.6 mm,mean 16.2 mm,diffusive high signal intensity distributed over in myometrium which was low signal intensity in 11 cases,it was typical “snowing sign”,lower signal intensity in the myometrium in another 4 cases on T 2WI and fat-suppression imaging. A little high signal intensity was found in 6 cases on T 1WI. 3 cases were focal adenomyosis(adenomyoma), 4 lesions totally. The adenomyoma’s boundaries were not distinct and their shapes were roundish or irregular. The lesions were low signal intensity or diffusive high signal intensity distributed in the low signal intensity fields on T 2WI and fat-suppression imaging. A little high signal intensity was found in 2 lesions on T 1WI. Conclusion T 2WI and fat-suppression imaging of low field MRI are very useful techniques of the diagnosis of adenomyosis.

Objective:To observe the influence of Xinfeng capsule(XFC) on pulmonary HRCT images and cytokines(TNF-?,IL-10) in blood serum adjuvant arthritis rats.Methods:60 rats were averagely divided into normal control group,model control group,methotrexate(MTX) treated group,tripterygium wilfordii polycoride tablet(TPT) treated group, XFC treated group,12 in each.Except for the rats of normal group,the others were intracutaneously injected with 0.1 ml of Freund’s complete adjuvant in the right hindlimb.After 19 days,different drugs were given to all rats. Pulmonary HRCT images were obtained and the blood samples were reserved for assaying cytokines.Results:In model control group ,the lungs’ outlines weren’t clear and the blood vessels expanded with the edges of them being obscure and unregular. There were high density images shaped as rope and slip in lungs of model control group rats and the pleura near the images were a little thickening. In MTX treated group, there were high density images shaped as slice along pulmonary veins. The veins of the blood vessels were obscure and the edges were unclear. In TPT treated group,there were multiple high density images shaped as tubercle and slice and the boundary were not clear. In XFC treated group, the lungs’ outlines were clear and the veins were well-distributed. High density images shaped as spot were found in part lungs. Compared with normal control group,tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) in blood serum ascended obviously in model control group(P0.05).Conclusion:XFC eliminates swelling by down-regulating the levels of TNF-?, up-regulating the levels of IL-10, restraining the inflammatory reaction.In adittion,cytokines participated in forming pulmanory fibrofication.So the changes of pulmanory HRCT images were also improved at the same time.

The aim of this study was to figure out the predictors of early postoperative catheter-related bladder discomfort (CRBD) after urological surgery. We designed a prospective observational study in our hospital. Consecutive adult patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia or epidural anaesthesia necessitating urinary catheterization were included during a 3-month period. severity of bladder discomfort was assessed on a 4-point scale: (1) no pain, (2) mild pain (revealed only by interviewing the patient), (3) moderate (a spontaneous complaint by the patient of a burning sensation in the urethra and/or an urge to urinate and/or sensation of urethral foreign body without any emotional agitation) and (4) severe discomfort (agitation, loud complaints and attempt to remove the bladder catheter associated with a burning sensation in the urethra). Predictors of CRBD were identified by univariate and multivariate analysis. Totally, 116 patients were included, of which 84.5% had CRBD (mild CRBD: 40.5%; moderate or severe CRBD: 44.0%) at day 1, while 31.9% developed CRBD (mild CRBD: 29.3%; moderate or severe CRBD: 2.6%) at day 3. We evaluated 9 potential forecast factors of CRBD, and univariate Chi-square test showed male gender [OR=2.4, 95%CI (1.1-5.6), P<0.05], abdominal open surgery compared with transurethral surgery [OR=0.3, 95%CI (0.1-0.6), P<0.05], abdominal surgery compared with laparoscopic surgery [OR=3.3, 95%CI (1.2-8.9), P<0.05] and history of catheterization [OR=0.5, 95%CI (0.2-0.9), P<0.05] were independent predictors of moderate or severe CRBD in the patients after surgery. While multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the abdominal open surgery [EXP(B)=3.074, 95%CI (1.3-7.4), P<0.05] and the history of catheterization [EXP(B)=2.458, 95%CI (1.1-5.9), P<0.05] might contribute more to the occurrence of moderate or severe CRBD. In conclusion, this observational study identified that the type of surgery and the history of catheterization might be predictive factors of moderate and severe CRBD after urological surgery.
