OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical characteristics and gene polymorphism of oxcarbazepine (OXC)- induced Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). METHODS:Retrieved from CNKI,Wanfang,VIP, PubMed,EMBase,SpringerLink and other databases,case reports about OXC-induced severe ADR were summarized and ana-lyzed. RESULTS:Twelve literatures were collected,and 13 case reports about OXC-induced SJS/TEN were obtained. Male had more OXC-induced severe skin ADR than female. ADR mostly occurred during 1-14 d after medication. All patients were cured with treatment of glucocorticoid and antiallergy,without death case. Genotyping for 8 patients were performed and 6 of them showed the presence of HLA-B*1502 allele. While HLA-B alleles of 2 patients were HLA-B*1518/B*4001,which was the variation of HLA-B*1502. CONCLUSIONS:OXC-induced ADR should be monitored closely. Great importance should be attached to patient education and follow-up program. HLA-B*1502 gene detection should be performed to guide rational use of OXC and optimize clini-cal drug use plan.

Objective To explore the effects of the β3 adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) agonist BRL37344 on cardiac fibroblast proliferation and collagen fiber hyperplasia in Wistar rats by promoting the phosphaticlylinositol 3 kinase-protein kinase B(PI3K-Akt) signal transduction pathway. Method Cardiac fibroblasts(CFbs) were isolated from 1 - 3 day-old Wistar rats under the sterile environment in the laboratory of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hasbin Medical University, by using enzyme digestion and an modified technique of differential anchoring velocity.The cultured myocardial cells were randomly (random number) divided into five groups. ① In blank group, rats were not treated with drug; ②in BRL group, rats were treated with BRL37344; ③in LY group, rats were treated with LY294002(PI3K antagonist) for one hour before treated with BRL37344;④in Akt-Ⅰ group,rats were treated with Akt-Ⅰ (Akt antagonist) for one hour before treated with BRL37344;⑤in L-A group, rats were treated with LY294002 and Akt-Ⅰ for one hour before treated with BRL37344. MTT colorimetric method and RT-PCR were used to observe the role of β3-AR agonist with or without PI3K antagonist and/or Akt antagonist in cardiac fibroblast proliferation (CFP) and collagen fiber hyperplasia (CFH). Comparisons between groups were made by one-way ANOVA and Tukey test. Results ①β3-AR was present in the CFbs. ②Compared with BRL group, the CFP and CFH in LY and Akt-Ⅰ groups were lower (P <0.01) and those in L-A group were lowest (P < 0.01). ③Compared with blank group,the expressions of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ fiber mRNA obliviously increased in BRL group (P < 0.01),and at 48 hours,the expressionrs reached peak. At 48 hours,compared with BRL group,the expressions in LY and Akt-Ⅰ groups were lower, and were lowest in L-A group ( P <0.01). Conclusions BRL37344 promotes cardiac fibroblast proliferation and expressions of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen fiber mRNA by activating the PI3K-Akt signal transduction pathway.

The research on clinical efficacy evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a hot and difficult issue in the field of TCM. However, the overall level of current related research also needs to be improved. There are still a lot of academic controversies in the field of TCM clinical efficacy evaluation. The author believed that before conducting research, it is necessary to sort out core issues of TCM clinical efficacy evaluation, which in-clude the concept of TCM clinical efficacy and its evaluation. In recent years, Chinese scholars have conducted a series of studies on these issues and have some achievements. To think and answer these questions will play an important role for the ultimate resolution of problem of TCM clinical efficacy evaluation.

Objective To observe the expression of mRNA of podocin,nephrin,CD2AP and α - actin - 4 in Doxorubicin - induced nephrotic(ADN)rats,and explore the possible mechanisms of podocyte molecule during the de-velopment of proteinuria. Methods Forty - eight Sprague - Dawley(SD)rats were divided into ADN model group(in-jected with 6. 5 mg/ kg Doxorubicin in tail vein,n = 24)and control group(injected with saline solution in tail vein,n =24). After the nephropathy model was established,6 rats were killed at the end of 1st ,2nd ,4th ,6th week in each group. The changes of the following indicators were observed:(1)24 - hour urinary protein,serum albumin and cholesterol were detected;(2)mRNA expression of nephrin,podocin,CD2AP and α - actin - 4 in cortex of kidney were examined by real time fluorescence quantification PCR. Results The model group came out massive proteinuria(15. 66 ± 1. 50) mg/ 24 h,(45. 98 ± 1. 45)mg/ 24 h,(65. 58 ± 4. 68)mg/ 24 h,(82. 83 ± 8. 43)mg/ 24 h in 1,2,4,6 weeks respec-tively,hypoalbuminemia(27. 4 ±2. 5)g/ L,(23. 6 ±2. 9)g/ L,(20. 6 ±1. 5)g/ L,(6. 9 ± 2. 3)g/ L in 1,2,4,6 weeks respectively and hypercholesterolaemia(2. 00 ± 0. 25)mmol/ L,(2. 16 ± 0. 44)mmol/ L,(4. 02 ± 0. 81)mmol/ L, (7. 54 ± 1. 12)mmol/ L in 1,2,4,6 weeks respectively,and the differences of proteinuria,plasma albumin and total cholesterol compared with control group at each time point had statistical significance(all P ﹤ 0. 01). Compared with the control group,podocin mRNA expression in the model group decreased at the end of 1st week(10. 56 ± 3. 62),de-creased significantly at the end of 2nd week(20. 44 ± 9. 03),and decreased at the end of 4th week(2. 19 ± 0. 18)com-pared with the control group;nephrin mRNA expression decreased at the end of 1st week(2. 41 ± 1. 10)and reached to the peak value,decreased at the end of 4th week(0. 52 ± 0. 18);CD2AP mRNA expression did not change significantly in the 1st week(4. 17 ± 0. 79),increased at the end of 2nd week(6. 74 ± 1. 53),reached to the peak value at the end of 4th week(6. 91 ± 1. 13),but did not change significantly at the end of 6th week(4. 04 ± 0. 82);α - actin - 4 mRNA ex-pression did not change significantly at the end of 1st week(1. 75 ± 0. 48),decreased at the end of 2nd week(2. 01 ± 0. 55),reached to the peak value at the end of 4th week(2. 24 ± 0. 81),but did not change significantly at the end of 6th week(1. 39 ± 0. 18). Compared with the control group,the difference had statistical significance( all P ﹤ 0. 05).
