OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics of prulifloxacin capsules in Chinese healthy volunteers after single and multiple oral administration of prulifloxacin capsules.METHODS:A total of 12 healthy adult subjects were randomly grouped by 3? 3 Latin square,who were assigned to receive oral single dose of 132,264 and 528mg prulifloxacin capsules and multiple doses of 264mg prulifloxacin capsule for 6 days in succession.The blood concentration of NM394-the metabolite of Prulifloxacin was determined by HPLC at different time after oral administration of Prulifloxacin.The simulation and fitting,and computation of parameters were performed using DAS ver1.0 software.RESULTS:All 12 subjects had completed single oral administration test,with no adverse drug reactions appeared during the test.No prulifloxacin but its metabolite-NM394 was identified in the blood sample of subjects.The high,medium and low dosage groups were all fitted two-compartment model.The pharmacokinetics fitted first order kinetics process without gender difference.There was no accumulation and pharmacokinetic parameters change after multiple oral administration of prulifloxacin,suggesting prulifloxacin had no self-enzyme inhibition or induction.CONCLUSION:The established method is sensitive,accurate,reliable and specific,and it can meet the requirement of clinical pharmacokinetic trial.Its parameters are in line with literature reported abroad,with no gender difference among Chinese adults.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the experimental induction of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) by intravitreous injection of hyaluronidase and perfluoroethane (C(2)F(6)).

METHODSFifteen rabbits (30 eyes) were divided into 3 experimental groups,the contralateral eyes in same animals served as the controls. Eyes in group A and B were received two vitreous injections of 15 IU of hyaluronidase at an interval of 5 d. The eyes in group C and all control eyes were injected with balanced salt solution (BSS). Seven days after injection, the experimental eyes in group A and C were received 0.5 ml of Fifteen rabbits (30 eyes) were divided into 3 experimental groups, the contralateral eyes in same animals served as the controls. Eyes in group A and B were received two vitreous injections of 15 IU of hyaluronidase at an interval of 5 d. The eyes in group C and all control eyes were injected with balanced salt solution (BSS). Seven days after injection,the experimental eyes in group A and C were received 0.5 ml of C(2)F(6) injection. The ocular and retinal signs were examined for 8 following weeks and then killed for histological examination.

RESULTFive eyes in group A (100.0%) showed complete separation of the vitreous cortex from the retina (PVD), three eyes in group B(60.0%) showed partial PVD, and no PVD was detected in group C and all control eyes. On electroretinogram no significant difference was found in amplitude and latency of a-(or b-) wave in both experimental and control eyes, between before and after experiments. No evidence of ocular or retinal toxicity was revealed by light or scanning electronic microscopy in all eyes.

CONCLUSIONVitreous injection of hyaluronidase combined with perfluoroethane, as a safety method, can induce posterior vitreous detachment without mechanical vitrectomy.

Objective To investigate the clinical and imaging characteristics of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor and improve the clinical diagnosis. Methods From November 2014 to September 2017, 22 patients with pathologically confirmed diagnosis as phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor (PMT) were retrospectively analyzed, including 12 males and 10 females, age ranged from 30-72 years, mean (47 ± 11) years old. The clinical data, laboratory tests [serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone and 1, 25- (OH) 2 D] and imaging examinations (X-ray, CT, MRI, nuclide) were collected and explored. Sixteen patients underwent SPECT scan and seven underwent PET/CT scan. Twenty patients had X-ray, eighteen patients had CT and 12 patients had MRI with enhancement. Results All patients suffered from diffuse pain for one to fifteen years, especially in lower back and lower extremities. All patients were found with low serum phosphorus, normal serum calcium. Twenty-one patients were found with elevated alkaline phosphatase, 16 with increased parathyroid hormone and 15 with decreased 1, 25 - (OH) 2 D. Thirteen lesions were located in the medullary cavity, seven in the soft tissue and two in the sinuses. Nineteen cases showed varying degrees of trabecular bone sparse, osteoporosis and osteomalacia on X-ray;There were 15 cases of multiple pseudo-fractures, including four cases of pelvic fracture complicated with femoral fracture, six cases of single fracture of pelvis, four cases of femur and one case of fibula. And seven cases showed multiple vertebral compression fractures. Thirteen lesions showed soft-tissue density and four in the medullary cavity showed high density on CT scan. The lesions presented low signal intensity on T1WI,high or low signal intensity on T2WI FLAIR and obviously enhanced in 12 patients who underwent MRI enhancement. Conclusion For patients with decreased serum phosphorus, elevated alkaline phosphatase, bone softening and fracture, octreotide or other nuclides should be primary imaging modality for confirming the location of the lesion. CT and MRI can further evaluate the nature of the lesion and improve diagnostic accuracy.

Objective:To investigate the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the differential diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and non-diabetic renal disease (NDRD) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:A diagnostic test. In this prospective study, patients with T2DM who underwent both IVIM-DWI and renal biopsy at the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between October 2017 and September 2021 were consecutively enrolled. IVIM-DWI parameters including perfusion fraction (f), pure diffusion coefficient (D), and pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*) were measured in the renal cortex, medulla, and parenchyma. Patients were divided into the DN group and NDRD group based on the renal biopsy results. IVIM-DWI parameters, clinical information, and diabetes-related biochemical indicators between the two groups were compared using Student′s t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. The correlation of IVIM-DWI parameters with diabetic nephropathy histological scores were analyzed using Spearman′s correlation analyzes. The diagnostic efficiency of IVIM-DWI parameters for distinguishing between DN and NDRD were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results:A total of 27 DN patients and 23 NDRD patients were included in this study. The DN group comprised 19 male and 8 female patients, with an average age of 52±9 years. The NDRD group comprised 16 male and 7 female patients, with an average age of 49±10 years. The DN group had a higher D* value in the renal cortex and a lower f value in the renal medulla than the NDRD group (9.84×10 -3 mm 2/s vs. 7.35×10 -3 mm 2/s, Z=-3.65; 41.01% vs. 46.74%, Z=-2.29; all P<0.05). The renal medulla D* value was negatively correlated with DN grades, interstitial lesion score, and interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) score ( r=-0.571, -0.409, -0.409; all P<0.05) while the renal cortex f value was positively correlated with vascular sclerosis score ( r=0.413, P=0.032). The renal cortex D* value had the highest area under the curve (AUC) for discriminating between the DN and NDRD groups (AUC=0.802, sensitivity 91.3%, specificity 55.6%). Conclusion:IVIM-derived renal cortex D* value can be used non-invasively to differentiate DN from NDRD in patients with T2DM that can potentially facilitate individualized treatment planning for diabetic patients.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a safe and effective method for the treatment of portal hypertension complications in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. At present, there are many prognostic scoring tools for risk stratification of poor prognosis after TIPS. This article briefly introduces seven prognostic scoring tools commonly used for TIPS and summarizes the clinical research evidence of each scoring tool. The literature review shows that there is currently no sufficient research evidence to determine the optimal prognostic scoring tool after TIPS. Future clinical studies should comprehensively explore the advantages and disadvantages of different scoring tools in predicting short- and long-term adverse prognostic events after TIPS and develop new prognostic scoring tools in combination with new prognostic markers.

The awake prone position plays an important role in the treatment of hypoxemia and the improvement of respiratory distress symptoms in non-intubated patients. It is widely used in clinical practice because of its simple operation, safety, and economy. To enable clinical medical staff to scientifically and normatively implement prone position for awake patients without intubation, the committees of consensus formulation, guided by evidence-based methodology and Delphi method, conducted literature search, literature quality evaluation and evidence synthesis around seven topics, including indications and contraindications, evaluation, implementation, monitoring and safety management, termination time, complication prevention and health education of awake prone position. After two rounds of expert letter consultation, Expert consensus on implementation strategy of awake prone positioning for non-intubated patients in China (2023) was formulated, and provide guidance for clinical medical staff.
