AIM: A new HPLC-MS method was developed to determine finasteride in human plasma. METHODS: Two formulations of finasteride tablets were given to 20 healthy male volunteers according to a randomized 2-way cross-over design. The samples were extracted by ethyl acetate under basic conditions, then were separated by C18 column and determined by mass detector. RESULTS: The calibration curve of finasteride was linear and intra-day and inter-day RSD were less than 10 %. The pharmacokinetics parameters of the two formulations (4.5 ± 0.5) h for t1/2; (3.0 ± 0.7) and (2.8 ± 0.9) h for tmax, respectively. The results indicated that there was no significant difference on cmax, A UC0-24, t1/2 or tmax values between the two formulations. CONCLUTION: The relative bioavailability of tablets I with respect to tablets Ⅱ is (99.3 ± 9.2) % by the A UC0-24 measurement, and bioe quivalence is observed between the two tablets.

Objective To explore the clinical value of serum procalcitonin (PCT)-based antibiotic therapy in the second-classedexacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Methods 240 patients diagnosised as AECOPD were randomized to the PCT group and the control group. Serum PCT levels of patients from the PCT group were measured 1 h after hospitalized and the third, fifth, eighth day respectively. When PCT < 0.1 μg / L, patients will stop taking antibiotics and initiated while PCT≥0.1 μg / L. Antibiotic treatment in the control group was based on guidelines of COPD diagnosis and treatment. Results Duration of antibiotic therapy and hospitalization were respectively 5.6 ± 1.4 and 8.2 ± 1.1 days in the PCT group, 9.2 ± 2.2 and 11.4 ± 2.5 days in the control group (both P < 0.05). Mean costs of hospitalization expensesand antibiotic therapy were 5700 ± 201 and 1650 ± 189) yuan in the PCT group, 6210 ± 220 and 2350 ± 210 yuan in the control group (both P < 0.05). The clinical effective rate, times of exacerbation, one-year ΔFEV1, the 1-year hospitalization rate and time to next exacerbation all showed no significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion PCT-guided antibiotic treatment reduces antibiotic use inthe second-classed acute exacerbations patients.

Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a sleep breathing disorder caused by obstruction of the upper airway during sleep from various causes. At present, the diagnosis and treatment of OSAHS are insufficient. OSAHS causes cognitive decline due to excessive oxidative stress and inflammatory response caused by sleep breathing disorder, and its alteration of the brain gray matter area may be related to cognitive dysfunction. This review investigates the correlation between cognitive dysfunction and brain gray matter areas changes in OSAHS, and elucidates the underlying mechanisms, which provide a theoretical basis for early clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. It is urgent to develop new drugs to improve the prognosis of ESCC patients. Here, we found benzydamine, a locally acting non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, had potent cytotoxic effect on ESCC cells. Benzydamine could suppress ESCC proliferation in vivo and in vitro. In terms of mechanism, CDK2 was identified as a target of benzydamine by molecular docking, pull-down assay and in vitro kinase assay. Specifically, benzydamine inhibited the growth of ESCC cells by inhibiting CDK2 activity and affecting downstream phosphorylation of MCM2, c-Myc and Rb, resulting in cell cycle arrest. Our study illustrates that benzydamine inhibits the growth of ESCC cells by downregulating the CDK2 pathway.
