Objective To investigate the influence of injection color regents concentration on completed resection rate, operation time and injection volume of patients with intestinal tumor by ESD.Methods 90 elderly patients with intestinal tumor by ESD were chosen from June 2013 to June 2016. They were randomly divided into 3 groups including A group (30 patients) with glycerin fructose used alone, B group (30 patients) with glycerin fructose combined with 2% mythylene blue on the basis of glycerin fructose and C group (30 patients) with glycerin fructose combined with 4% mythylene blue on the basis of glycerin fructose; and the completed resection rate of tumor, operation time, injection volume and complication incidence in the peri-operative period of 3 groups were compared.Results There was no signiifcant difference in the completed resection rate of tumor among the 3 groups (P < 0.05). The operation time and injection volume of C group were signiifcant better than A group and B group (P< 0.05). There was no signiifcant difference in operation time and injection volume between A group and B group (P < 0.05). There was no signiifcant difference in the complication incidence in the peri-operative period among the 3 groups (P < 0.05).Conclusion Compared with glycerin fructose used alone and glycerin fructose combined with 1% mythylene blue for 2 mg, glycerin fructose combined with 1% mythylene blue for 4 mg by intestinal submucosal injection on patients with intestinal tumor by ESD can efifciently shorten the operation time and reduce the injection volume.

Objective To determine the in vitro effects of the traditional Chinese medicines, berberine, matrine and baicalin, on the proliferation and lipid synthesis of human immortalized sebocyte SZ95, and to investigate their possible mechanisms of action on sebaceous glands at the cellular level. Methods Inverted microscopy was used to observe cell morphology and determine toxic concentrations of the compounds. The MTT method was adopted to examine the effects of different concentrations of berberine, matrine and baicalin on SZ95 cell proliferation after 24 h, 48 h and 72 h of incubation. Lipid contents in the SZ95 cells were labeled with Nile red and analyzed by flow cytometry. Results The toxic concentrations were 1?10-3 mol/L, 1?10-4 mol/L, 1?10-3 mol/L for baicalin, berberine and matrine, respectively. Berberine reduced sebocyte proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with an inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) of 2.9?10-5 mol/L and 1.4?10-5 mol/L after 48 h and 72 h of incubation, respectively. When the concentration of matrine was 0.05). Lipogenesis of SZ95 cells showed a 26.9% increase with 1?10-3 mol/L matrine. Conclusions Our results indicate that berberine and baicalin can inhibit proliferation and lipid synthesis of SZ95 sebocytes in vitro, which suggests a possible clinical role in treating acne.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect and safety of topical propranolol hydrochloride gel for treatment of infantile hemangioma. METHODS Thirty nude mice (BALA/c, nu/nu) were divided into three groups, experimental group, control group and normal group. Human hemangioma endothelial cells cultured in vitro were injected subcutaneously in experimental group and control group to establish infantile hemangioma model. Topical propranolol hydrochloride gel was applied on the surface of the hemangioman in experimental group and normal group. Tumor volumn change and the skin situations (edema, erythema, ulceration) were observed at different periods. 45 days after cell injection, the mice were killed and plasma concentration was detected in the experimental group and the control group by high performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detector, and tumors were subjected to histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry for CD31 and CD34. The correlation between volumes and plasma concentration was statistically analyzed with SPSS 13.0 paired samples t test with α = 0.05 as statistical standard.

RESULTSAt 45 days, the volume of the tumor in control group was (366.57 ± 17.08) mm³, which has a significant difference as compared to the experimental group (13.36 ± 2.09) mm³ (P < 0.05); and the plasma concentration was (16.83 ± 1.53) ng/ml in experimental group, and (18.42 ± 2.21) ng/ ml in normal group (P > 0.05 ). Topical propranolol hydrochloride gel (3%) has no irritation to nude mice's skin.

CONCLUSIONSTopical application of 3% propranolol hydrochloride gel is effective and safe for the treatment of infantile hemangioma.

A chiral LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous analysis of desvenlafaxine (DVS) enantiomers in human plasma was developed and applied to a pharmacokinetic study on 12 Chinese healthy volunteers. d6-Desvenlafaxine was used as internal standard (IS). Chromatographic separation was performed on the Astec Chirobiotic V chiral column (150 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The assay was linear over the concentration range of 0.500-150 ng x mL(-1) for both enantiomers (r2 > 0.99). The method was successfully applied to a stereoselective pharmacokinetic study of 100 mg desvenlafaxine sustained release tablets on 12 Chinese healthy volunteers under fasting conditions. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic parameters were similar to both enantiomers in Chinese healthy volunteers. The AUC(0-t), and C(max) of the two enantiomers were about 1.5 times higher than those of blacks and whites reported in the literature.

Pancreatic cancer is a commonly malignant gastrointestinal tumor with an significantly increasing incidence.Those patients without nonspecific symptoms at early stage had mostly lost the opportunity of surgical therapy when pancreatic cancer was detected at advanced stage,and its prognosis is poor.Therefore,it is rather important to improve the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.In recent years,proteomics is developing rapidly.Proteomics technologies have been widely used in clinical research.Using proteomics technology screening pancreatic cancer tumor markers becomes the research focus,thus we try to find a kind of or a group of pancreatic tumor markers,so as to improve the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To observe the changes of plasma neuropeptide Y (NPY) and neurotensin (NT) levels in patients with heart failure and investigate their clinical significance. Methods The levels of plasma NPY, NT of 76 patients with heart failure and 28 normal controls were determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). The color echocardiogram was used to evaluate the cardiac structure, function and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Results The level of plasma NPY in patients with heart failure [(159.7 ± 56.3) ng/L] was higher than that in normal controls [(120.8 ± 51.9) ng/L] (P < 0.05), the level of plasma NT [(69.5 ± 29.6) ng/L] was significantly lower than that in normal controls [(99.1 ± 19.3) ng/L] (P < 0.01). Following the severity of heart failure, the level of plasma NPY increased, and the level of plasma NT decreased. The level of LVEF had negative correlative relationship with the level of plasma NPY (γ = -0.31, P < 0.05) and positive correlative relationship with the level of plasma NT (γ = 0.28, P < 0.05). The level of plasma NPY and NT in patients with heart failure had negative correlative relationship (γ = -0.26, P < 0.05). Conclusions The levels of plasma NPY, NT in patients with heart failure are unbalanced. This unbalance may participate in the damage of cardiac function.
