A series of tacrine-methoxybenzene hybrids (5a-5i) were designed, synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of cholinesterases (ChEs). All the compounds had better ChEs inhibitory activities than tacrine with IC50 values at the nanomolar range. Compound 5h exhibited the strongest inhibition on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with an IC50 value of 6.74 nmol x L(-1) and compound 5f showed the most potent inhibition on butyrylcholinesterase with IC50 value of 3.83 nmol x L(-1). Kinetic and molecular modeling studies showed that these hybrids targeted both the catalytic active site and the peripheral anionic site of AChE.

ObjectiveTo verify the efficacy and safety of conversion from cyclosporine (CsA) to tacrolimus (Tac) in renal transplant recipients. MethodsThe clinical data of conversion from CsA to Tac in renal transplant recipients were retrospectively analyzed. In 97 patients undergoing kidney transplantation, there were 62 cases of chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN), 21 cases of refractory renal allograft rejection, 8 cases of hepatic impairment, and 6 cases of gingival overgrowth and hirsutism. The patients were followed up with renal function, hepatic function, blood fat, pressure,glucose,acute rejection incidence, patients/kidney survival rate,and adverse drug reaction for 3 years.ResultsThe renal function of patients with CAN and refractory acute rejection was greatly improved after conversion from CsA to Tac treatment at the first year (P＜0. 05) ,and steady at the 2nd or 3rd year. The conversion treatment could greatly improve the hepatic function of patients with dysfunction of liver, improve the gum hypertrophy and hypertrichosis results from CsA. The 1- and 3-year patients/kidney survival rate after conversion from CsA to Tac was 100 ％/97. 9 ％ and 100 ％/92. 8 ％, respectively. The conversion treatment showed a significantly lower degree of plasma cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, triglyceride, and blood pressure (P ＜ 0.05). Incidence of pathoglycemia, diarrhea or anepithymia,and tremor after conversion treatment was 13.4 ％ (13/97),2. 1％ (2/97) and 5. 2 ％ (5/97),respectively. There were no serious pulmonary infection and tumor during the observation period. ConclusionThe mid-long term effect of conversion from CsA to Tac in patients with kidney transplantation is safe and effective.

The extracting technology of salidroside, tyrosol, crenulatin and gallic acid from Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix et Rhizoma was optimized. With extraction rate of salidroside, tyrosol, crenulatin and gallic acid as indexes, orthogonal test was used to evaluate effect of 4 factors on extracting technology, including concentration of solvent, the dosage of solvent, duration of extraction, and frequency of extraction. The results showed that, the best extracting technology was to extract in 70% alcohol with 8 times the weight of herbal medicine for 2 times, with 3 hours once. High extraction rate of salidroside, tyrosol, crenulatin and gallic acid were obtained with the present technology. The extracting technology was stable and feasible with high extraction rate of four compounds from Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix et Rhizoma, it was suitable for industrial production.

Objective To analysis the clinical effects of biliary-pancreatic double stents in pancreatic cancer patients with obstructive jaundice.Methods From July 2008 to October 2011,a total of 60 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer were randomly divided into two groups to receive biliary-pancreatic double stents (n =28) or biliary stent only (n =32) according to the odd and even numbers of their admission date.Changes in liver function,abdominal pain,quality of life scores (QOL) were compared between two groups.Results The stents were placed successfully in 54 patients (90.0％),in which symptoms were relieved or gradually disappeared in all patients after the procedure.One week after stents placement,the serum total bilirubin decreased significantly from 164.32 ±45.16 μmol/L before ERCP to 63.25 ±27.06 μmol/L (P ＜ 0.05),other parameters including ALT,AST,AKP and r-GT were also decreased significantly compared with those of pre-ERCP (P ＜ 0.01),but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).25 cases in double-stents group and 29 cases in single-stent group had varying degrees of pain relief at 7d after ERCP,but the overall pain relief rate and complete pain relief rate in double-stent group were significantly higher than those in single-stent group (92.0％ vs.55.2％; 64.0％ vs.34.5％,P＜0.05).At 7d and 14d after ERCP,Karnofsky QOL score were improved significantly in double-stent group (P ＜ 0.05).It was significantly better than single-stent group at 14d after ERCP (P ＜0.05).No death or other severe ERCP-related complications were observed.Conclusion Biliary-pancreatic stent placement for pancreatic cancer could significantly improve liver function and relieve obstructive pain.In the ways of alleviating pain and improving quality of life scores,it was better than ERCP biliary stent placement,especially for patients with pancreatic cancer combined obstructive pain.It indicated that biliary-pancreatic stent placement was better than simple biliary stent placement for advanced pancreatic head cancer patients with obstructive pain.

Objective:Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a key molecule negatively regulating osteoclast differentiation and activation; and the conserved mycobacterial heat shock 70 (HSP70) peptide p111-125 has also been found to inhibit inflammation reactions in chronic arthritis. BaculoDirectTM baculovirus expression system was selected to express recombinant OPG-HSP70 in insect cells.Methods:The human functional fragment (p22-194) of OPG and functional fragment (p111-125) of mycobacterial HSP70 gene were cloned into the transfer vector pENTRTM/SD/D-TOPO. The recombinant plasmid was performed an LR reaction with the BaculoDirectTM Linear DNA to generate recombinant baculovirus DNA. The cultured Sf9 insect cells were directly transferred with the recombinant baculovirus DNA,and the pure recombinant baculovirus was obtained. Then recombinant baculovirus was infected Sf9 insect cells again to express the OPG-HSP70 gene.Results:The target protein was detected at the time of 48h post infection,reached at highest yield at the time of 72h post-infection. A 28kDa protein immunostaining band was detected by Western blotting from lysate of those cells.And the purified protein was obtained by using Ni-NTA system. Functional stuies on the fusion protein showed it significantly reduce osteoclast cell number[(3.10?0.640) cells under each microscope field in treatment group by comparing to (10.70?0.817)cells in the control group] in the osteoclast inhibition test,and reduce the inflammation reaction in a delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) mice model (P

The functional framework of information management system for regional medical and health institutions was established according to the 5 application systems (public health, medical service, medical support, drug supply support and general management ) and the target to develop 2 databases ( a resident electronic health records data-base and a resident electronic medical records database ) and an operational network put forward in the overall framework of health information construction during The National Twelfth-5 Year Plan Period, based on the functional position of health institutions at different levels.The difficulties to realize the target of the national 3521 project and its prospects were pointed out.
