Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and toxicity of paclitaxel liposome combined with cisplatin chemotherapy in NSCLC with brain metastasis. Methods Twenty-eight patients were newly diag-nosed NSCLC with brain metastasis(confirmed by pathology or cytology). The patients were treated with pacli-taxel liposome(135 mg/ m2 )on day 1 intravenous drip for 3 hours,cisplatin,25 mg/ m2 on day 1-3. The course of treatment was 21 days. The patients accepted the anti-allergy treatment before chemotherapy. Results Twenty-eight patients could be evaluated,and 101 treatment cycles were completed( 3. 6 cycles per patient). General lesion assessment presented that no patient got complete remission( CR),13 patients (46. 43% )got a partial response(PR),11(39. 28% )had a stable disease(SD)and 4(14. 29% )had a progressive disease( PD). The objective response rate( RR)was 46. 43% ,and the disease control rate (DCR) was 85. 71% . Local cerebral response assessment showed that no patient got CR,6 patients (21. 43% )got a PR,15(53. 58% )had a SD and 4(14. 29% )had a PD. The RR was 21. 43% ,and the DCR was 85. 71% . There was a significant difference in the RR(χ2 = 3. 90,P = 0. 03)but not in the DCR (χ2 = 0. 15,P = 0. 3)between the local cerebral disease and the general lesion. The median time to disease progression(TTP)for general lesion and local cerebral were 7. 2 months and 6. 2 months,respectively(χ2 =6. 43,P < 0. 05). The adverse reactions included bone marrow suppression,gastrointestinal reactions,elevated transaminases,alopecia,neurotoxicity,etc. All of these could be well controlled. Conclusion Paclitaxel liposome combined with cisplatin regimen demonstrates a higher efficacy and well tolerable against main metas-tasis of NSCLC,and the adverse effects are minor.

Glycyrrhizic acid, as the main active ingredient of Glycyrrhiza, has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antitussive, expectorant, immunomodulatory and other pharmacological effects. In recent years, many new clinical uses of glycyrrhizic acid have been found, and glycyrrhizic acid has an effect on human and animal cytochrome P 450. This paper summarizes the clinical application of glycyrrhizic acid and its effect on cytochrome P 450, providing reference for clinical rational use of glycyrrhizic acid preparation.

Borneol is a traditional Chinese medicine. In the past few years, many studies showed that borneol can improve the bioavailability of other drugs, promoting drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier, so the potential drug interactions between borneol and other medicines have attracted great attention, but the influence of borneol to CYP450 and its isoforms are rarely reported. In this research, male Wistar rats were orally administered by borneol for 7 days, then the mRNA and protein expression and the activities of CYP2D were detected, we also compared the pharmacokinetic parameters of CYP2D's specific substrate between control group and borneol group. The results show that borneol (33, 100 and 300 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) have no significant effect on CYP2D, while the activites of CYP2D increased 1.71, 1.97 and 2.89 times comparing to the control group. At the same time, borneol (300 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) caused the C(max) decreased 10.6% (P > 0.05), AUC(0-∞) decreased 27.5% (P < 0.01), CL/F increased 41.1% (P < 0.01), V(z)/F increased 23.1% (P > 0.05) of dextromethorphan. Our data provided that borneol speed up dextromethorphan's elimination in vivo. Since the activity of CYP2D can be induced by borneol, the metabolic interactions might happen when borneol and the substrate drug CYP2D are used together.

Objective To discuss the relationships between serum uric acid levels and clinical stages,cognitive dysfunction in parkinson' s disease (PD).Methods Sixty patients of PD were enrolled,and their history,detailed physical examination UPDRS Ⅲ scale and mini-mental state score (MMSE) scale were performed to determine the Hoehn-Yahr stage of patients.At the same time 52 cases of healthy person were collected from the Health Examination Centers whose age,sex,and education matched with PD group as control group.The levels of serum uric acid in the two groups were examined and compared.Results The serum uric acid levels in PD group were significantly lower than those in normal control group((262.4 ±85.2) μmol/L vs (357.6 ±73.3) μmol/L) (t =1.013,P =0.005) ;There was no level correlation between different Hoehn-Yahr stage period of PD group (r =0.143,P ＞ 0.05) ; There was no significant difference on serum uric acid levels between subgroup of PD patients (F =1.014,P =0.06) ;The M MSE score between PD group and normal control group had no significant difference (26.12 ± 2.87 vs 28.32 ± 2.17) (t =1.970,P =0.073).Conclusion Low level of the serum uric is likely to be a risk factor for PD,but cannot be used to assess the severity of disease and MMSE scale used to determine the cognitive impairment in PD is not sensitive enough.

OBJECTIVEIn order to get the method for improving the salt resistance of Lycium ruthenium seeds and seedlings under NaCl stress, the seed germination and physiological characteristics of L. ruthenium seedlings was studied.

METHODSeveral physiological indexes of L. ruthenium seeds under NaCl stress, such as the germination rate (Gr), germination vigor (Gv), germination index (Gi), vigor index (Vi), and relative salt damage rate were measured. Other indexes of the seedlings like relative water contents (RWC) , chlorophyll contents, soluble protein contents, electrolyte leakage, the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), and peroxidase (POD) were also measured.

RESULTNaCl at lower concentration could promote the seed germination but inhibit the seed germination at higher concentration. After the treatment by CaCl2 at the different concentrations, all germination indexes were increased. With the increase of salt concentration, the relative water contents and the contents of chlorophyll were decreased, the content of MDA and electrolyte leakage were increased. The change trend of POD activity showed the first increase and then decrease with the increase of salt concentration, which was similar to that of the soluble protein. After the treatment by CaCl2, relative water contents, chlorophyll and POD activities were decreased more slowly, and also electrolyte leakage and MDA contents increased slowly.

CONCLUSIONThe CaCl2 could significantly alleviate the damages to the seeds and seedlings of L. ruthenium under NaCl stress, and promote the salt resistance to the seeds and seedlings of L. ruthenium.

Along with the development of economy and society, type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) has become one of the most common diseases at the global level. As one of the complications of T2DM, diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP) stubbornly and chronically affects the health and life of human beings. In the pain field, dorsal root ganglion (DRG) is generally considered as the first stage of the sensory pathway where the hyperexcitability of injured neurons is associated with different kinds of peripheral neuropathic pains. The abnormal electrophysiology is mainly due to the changed properties of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) and the increased sodium currents (I(Na)). Curcumin is an active ingredient extracted from turmeric and has been demonstrated to ameliorate T2DM and its various complications including DNP effectively. The present study demonstrates that the I(Na) of small-sized DRG neurons are significantly increased with the abnormal electrophysiological characteristics of VGSCs in type 2 diabetic neuropathic pain rats. And these abnormalities can be ameliorated efficaciously by a period of treatment with curcumin.
