0.05) between the two group. Conclusions:No significant difference, concerning efficacy and toxicity ,is shown between domestic made and imported vinorelbine plus cisplatin combination chemotherapy in treating non small cell lung cancer.

Objective To evaluate the association between isotretinoin pharmacokinetic parameters and CYP2B6 (cytochrome p-450) gene polymorphisms. Methods Blood samples were collected at different time points from 21 healthy male volunteers who received a single 40-rng oral dose of isotretinoin. High performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was used for the quantification of isotretinoin in plasma samples which were standardized by dosage and body weight. PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis were performed to detect the G516T mutation in exon 4 as well as A785G mutation in exon 5 of CYP2B6 gene in these subjects. Results There was an obvious genetic linkage imbalance in exon 4 and 5 of CYP2B6 gene among these volunteers. In the case of CYP2B6*4 allele,3 (14.29%) people were CYP2B6*4/*4 homozygotes, 6 (28.57%) CYP2B6*1/*4 heterozygotes, and 12 (57.14%) CYP2B6*1/*1 wild-type homogygotes, while as far as CYP2B6*6 allele was concerned, 3 (14.29%)people were CYP2B6*6/*6 homozygotes, 5 (23.81%) CYP2B6*1/*6 heterozygotes, and 13 (61.90%)CYP2B6*1/*1 wild-type homozygotes. The reaction half-time (t1/2) and mean residence time (MRT) of isotretinoin were longer in volunteers carrying wild-type CYP2B6*4 allele than those of CYP2B6*4/*4 homozygotes (both P ＜ 0.05 ), while no significant difference was observed in maximum concentration (Cmax), peak time (Tmax) or area under the plasma concentration time (AUC) between the two groups of volunteers. There was no statistical difference in any of the above parameters between subjects carrying wild type CYP2B6*6 allele and those of CYP2B6 *6/*6 homozygotes (all P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusions The mutation of CYP2B6*4 allele ia relevant to the metabolism of isotretinoin, which seems to be more rapid in CYP2B6*4/*4 homozygotes.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of hospital acquired mycotic pneumonia in elderly patients (aged≥ 80 years).Methods The clinical data were reviewed on 64 cases of elderly patients aged 80-93 years with hospital-acquired infection of mycotic pneumonia from June 2007 to July 2011.According to the results of sputum culture,therapy plan was made and antibiotic drugs were selected.Results Among these 64 patients,Candida mycoderma (62.5 ％,40 cases) occupied the first place and C.glabrata (20.3％,13 cases) was the second place (x2 =127.50,P＜0.01).Their chest x-ray or CT films were not characteristic,but lamellar shadows (68.8％,44cases) and cotton-like shadows (40.6 ％,26 cases) were found in the majority.60 cases (93.8 ％ ) of these patients had more than 3 complications,and 58 cases (90.6％) of them took over 2 kinds of antibiotics.The improvement rate of these patients was 81.3％ (52 cases)and mortality rate was 18.8％(12 cases).Conclusions Elderly patients (aged≥ 80 years) with hospital acquired infection of mycotic pneumonia have high incidence and mortality rate.The key point to cure is to make an early diagnosis and treat them as early as possible.

Objective To study the effect of bird's nest nursing on the vital signs,gastroenteric function,body weight and growth of premature infants.Methods 456 cases of premature infants were divided into the warm box group and the bird's nest group randomly according to odd and even number of birth,namely 228 cases in each group.The warm box group adopted routine nursing care.The bird's nest group adopted routine nursing care and bird's nest nursing in the mean time,namely the bird's nest wag put into the warm box,the premature infants slept in the pre-heated bird's nest.The condition of the two groups Was compared.Results On the first day of birth,there were no statistical difference(P＞0.05)between the two groups in respiration,heart rate,milk amount and body weight.On the seventh and fourteenth day,respiration and heart rate were stable and milk amount and body weight increased rapidly in bird's nest group.There Was statistical difference(P＜0.05)between the two groups.In bird's nest group,the premature had long sleeping time and body temperature-fluctuation was reduced.There was statistical differencere(P＜0.01)between the two groups.Conclusions After the bird's nest was used in premature care,diseases were recovered rapidly,hospitalization days were shortened and it was beneficial to the development of intelligence and body and mind of the premature infants.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect and mechanism of tandospirone citrate (TC) on blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS:SHR were divided into model group,positive control group (Levamlodipine besylate tab-lets,2.5 mg/kg),TC high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose groups(TC capsules,40,20,10 mg/kg),8 in each group. Other 8 nor-mal rats were chosen as normal control group. The rats were intragastrically administrated medicines,once a day,for 28 d. Systolic blood pressure(SBP)before first administration and after 0.5,1,1.5,2,3,4 h of administration in each group were measured, and SBP after 1 h of administration were measured once every 7 d. After last administration,nitric oxide(NO)content in serum, endothelin,renin,angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ) and norepinephrine (NE) contents in plasma were detected. RESULTS:In single ad-ministration,compared with model group,SBP in 0.5,1 h in positive control group and TC groups after first administration were obviously decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01),then SBP were obviously decreased only in positive control group and TC high-dose group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In multiple administration,compared with model group,SBP in 7th,14th,28th day of administra-tion in positive control group and TC high-dose,medium-dose groups were obviously decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group,NO content in serum in positive control group,TC high-dose group were obviously increased;endothelin,re-nin,Ang Ⅱ and NE contents in plasma were obviously decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with positive control group, NO content in serum in TC groups was obviously decreased;endothelin,renin,Ang Ⅱ and NE contents in plasma were obviously increased in TC medium-dose group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:TC can obviously decrease the blood pressure of SHR. The mechanism may be associated with adjusting the balance of NO and endothelin,and decreasing renin,AngⅡand NE contents.

Objective To study the clinicopathologic features,effective therapeutic regimen and prognosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).Methods Two cases of HIV infection concurrent with leukemia,one with APL,one with CML,were studied and relevant literatures were reviewed.Results Case 1 was HIV infection concurrent with APL,ATO was used to induce remission,in the eight day of therapy,the patient died of brain disorder.Case 2 was HIV infection concurrent with CML,hydroxycarbamide and interferon were used to induce remission,three month later,state of an illness progressed to acute phase,after combination chemotherapy,concurrent with lung multiple infection (fungus and pneumocystis carinii),at last,the patient died of respiratory failure.Conclusion HIV infection concurrent with acute and chronic leukemia has poor therapeutic effect,and is easy to infect seriously.

A method for the determination of B6-pyridoxamine (PAM), pyridoxal (PAL) and pyridoxine (POL) by RPLC was proposed. The procedure included the addition of 0.1M H2SO4 to the sample, hydrolysis for 30 min at 120℃, centrifuging, filtration and direct analysis by ODS Cl8 column. PAM, PAL and POL were completely separated, when the flow rate of the mobile phase (pH2.0-2.1) was 1.0-1.5ml/min. Quantitation by a fluorescent detector was performed with Exc: 293 nm and Em: 395 nm. The recovery ranged from 99 to 103% with CV 5.0-5.3%. The method was simple, rapid, sensitive and reproducible.

Objective: To examine the effect of SiO2 exposure on the airway surface microenvironment and NIMA-related kinase 7 (NEK7)/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor containing pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in rats. Methods: Twenty-four specific pathogen-free male rats of the SD strain were randomly divided into the control group and the model group, of 12 rats in each group. Rats in the model group were given SiO2 suspensions through disposable tracheal intubation perfusion to model silicosis in rats, while rats in the control group was perfused with the same amount of physiological saline. The pH value and glucose level were measured in the rat bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) 14 and 28 days after modeling. Lung tissues were stained with HE and Masson and the distribution of inflammatory cells and the deposition of pulmonary interstitial collagens were observed in lung tissues under a light microscope. The expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), collagen type Ⅰ(ColⅠ), collagen type Ⅲ (Col Ⅲ), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), NLRP3, N-terminal domain of Gasdermin D (GSDMD-NT), caspase-1, and NEK7 was quantified in lung specimens using immunohistochemistry. Results: Lower pH values were measured in rat BALF in the model group than in the control group 14 [(6.38±0.05) vs. (6.68±0.08), P<0.05] and 28 days after modeling [(6.63±0.14) vs. (6.86±0.05), P<0.05], while higher glucose levels were seen in the model group than in the control group 14 [(0.39±0.06) vs. (0.31±0.04) mg/dL, P<0.05] and 28 days after modeling [(0.39±0.08) vs. (0.31±0.06) mg/dL, P<0.05]. HE and Masson staining showed mild to moderate alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis in rats 14 days post-exposure to SiO2, and showed moderate to severe alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis 28 days post-exposure. Immunohistochemistry detected higher TGF-β1, ColⅠ, Col Ⅲ, IL-1β, NLRP3, GSDMD-NT, caspase-1 and NEK7 expression in rat lung tissues in the model group than in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions SiO2 exposure may cause changes in rat airway surface microenvironment, including BALF acidification and elevated glucose. Pyroptosis induced by activation of NEK7-associated NLRP3 inflammasome may be an important mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis caused by silicosis.
