Objective To evaluate the effect of oxycodone on migration of human colon cancer cells and the role of μ and κ receptors.Methods The human colon cancer HCT116 cells at the logarithmic growth phase were seeded in 24-well or in 6-well plates at a density of 1 × 106 cells/mnl (0.5 ml/well or 2 ml/well,144 wells in total).The cells were divided into 6 groups (n=24 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),1,5 and 10 μmol/L oxycodone groups (group O1,group O2 and group O3),oxycodone plus μ receptor antagonist CTOP group (group O2+CTOP) and oxycodone plus κ receptor antagonist nor-binaltorphimine group (group O2+BNI).The cells were incubated for 24 h with oxycodone 1,5 and 10 μmol/L in O1,O2 and O3 groups,respectively.The cells were incubated for 24 h with 5 μmol/L oxycodone plus 20 μmol/L CTOP and 5 μmol/L oxycodone plus nor-binahorphimin 20 μmol/L in O2+CTOP and O2+BNI groups,respectively.The invaded and migrated cells were counted,and the levels of Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA),Rho-associated protein kinase 1 (ROCK1),matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 were detected.Results Compared with group C,the number of invaded and migrated cells was gradually decreased,and the levels of RhoA,ROCK1,MMP-2 and MMP9 were gradually decreased in O1,O2 and O3 groups (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group O2+BNI (P>0.05).Compared with group O2,the number of invaded and migrated cells was significantly increased,and the levels of RhoA,ROCK1,MMP-2 and MMP9 were increased in group O2 + BNI (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group O2+CTOP (P>0.05).Conclusion Oxyc odone can inhibit the migration of human colon cancer cells,and the mechanism is totally related to inhibition of RhoA/ROCKl signaling pathway activation after activating κ receptors,but not related to μ receptors.

Objective To study the effect of acupuncture combined with clean intermittent catheterization in the treat-ment of neurogenic bladder. Methods A total of 46 patients were randomly divided into test and control groups. There were 23 patients in the each group. The clean intermittent catheterization only used in the control group. However inte-grated acupuncture and clean intermittent catheterization were used in the test group. Final the residual urine volume and the incidence of bacteriuria were researched after 5 months. Results There were 17 cases restored the micturating function in the test group, however only 7 cases in the control group. There were 3 cases suffered bacteriuria in the test group, but there were 11 cases suffered bacteriuria in the control group. The difference between the two groups was sta-tistical ly significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion Combined acupuncture with clean intermittent catheterization can effi-ciently maintain the normal function of bladder, decrease the residual urine volume, and reduce the incidence of bac-teriuria.

Five new racemic N-acetyldopamine (NADA) trimers, asponchimides A-E (1-5), were isolated from Aspongopus chinensis, a prominent traditional Chinese medicinal insect employed for alleviating pain, treating indigestion, and addressing kidney ailments. Compounds 1-5 were successfully resolved by chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), yielding five pairs of enantiomers: (+)- and (-)-asponchimides A-E (1a/1b-5a/5b). Their structural identities were discerned by extensive spectroscopic analyses, including high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and their absolute configurations were determined by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Compounds 1-5 are pioneering instances of NADA trimers featuring a Δ7 double bond. When subjected to a series of bioassays, a majority of the compounds exhibited weak inhibitory activity against nitric oxide (NO) production in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells.

In order to strengthen the supervision of the use of drugs in hospitals,the Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences· Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital took the lead in compiling the Principles for the Rational Use of National Key Monitoring Drugs (the Second Batch) with a number of experts from multiple medical units in accordance with the Second Batch of National Key Monitoring Rational Drug Use List (hereinafter referred to as “the List”) issued by the National Health Commission. According to the method of the WHO Guidelines Development Manual, the writing team used the Delphi method to unify expert opinions by reading and summarizing the domestic and foreign literature evidence of related drugs, and applied the evaluation, formulation and evaluation method of recommendation grading (GRADE) to evaluate the quality of evidence formed, focusing on more than 30 drugs in the List about the evaluation of off-label indications of drugs, key points of rational drug use and key points of pharmaceutical monitoring. It aims to promote the scientific standardization and effective management of clinical medication, further improve the quality of medical services, reduce the risk of adverse drug reactions and drug abuse, promote rational drug use, and improve public health.
