OBJECTIVE:To study the possible mechanisms of the effects of indol-2,3-dione (MW147) on experimental atherosclerosis (AS). METHODS: A total of 120 male quails were randomly divided into six groups: normal control group, model group, lovastatin (79.5 mg?kg-1) positive control group, and MW147 (20, 60, 120 mg?kg-1) groups. The normal control group was fed on normal diet, while the other 5 groups were fed on high lipid diet and treated ig with corresponding drugs for eight weeks. Then the lipid levels including TC, TG, L-DLC and H-DLC in serum and tissues, and the total superoxidedismutase (T-SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined. Meanwhile the tissues of aorta and liver were observed under light microscope. RESULTS: In MW147-treated groups compared with model group, the levels of TC, TG, LDL-C and MDA were decreased while the levels of HDL-C, T-SOD, GSH-Px and T-AOC in serum were increased (P

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of using the ratio of (Cho + Cr)/Cit derived by MRS to predict the differentiation grades of prostatic cancer and Gleason grading.Methods Five postoperative prostate specimens were spitted and layered according to the region of interest of MRS inspections.The correlation between the CC/C values of each region of interest in each layer and the Gleason scores of the corresponding pathological sections was analyzed.The optimum diagnostic cutoff value was determined by conducting the hypothesis test of the area below the ROC curve of the well and moderately differentiated groups and poorly differentiated ones on the basis of CC/C values with a Spearman test.Results A total of 90 regions with valid pathologic diagnosis were obtained,70 cancer-affected and 20 cancer-free.In MRS,a CC/C value above 0.86 was used as a criterion for defining a cancer-affected region As a result,65 cancer-affected regions and 25 cancer-free regions were identified,among which pathologic diagnosis confirmed 59 and 14,respectively.Spearman′s rank correlation analysis revealed that the CC/C values of the prostatic carcinoma had significant positive correlation with Gleason scores ( r =0.746,P =0.000).For the well and moderately differentiated groups,the hypothesis test about the cutoff value,which was obtained by calculating the area below the ROC curve,was of no statistical significance.For the poorly differentiated groups,the optimum cutoff value was defined as 0.948,and the sensitivity and specificity were 81.4% and 75.0%,respectively.It was also observed that the Gleason scores of the poorly differentiated endemic regions had positive correlation with the CC/C values ( r =0.605,P =0.000 ),suggesting that CC/C value was associated with the differentiation grade of the poorly differentiated prostatic cancer.When CC/C value was above 0.948,the poorly differentiated prostatic cancer was typically detected and Gleason score was often above 7.Conclusions CC/C values has positive correlation with Gleason scores.MRS may be used to predict the differentiation of prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to develop glipizide push-pull osmotic pump (PPOP) tablets by using a formulation design expert system and an artificial neural network (ANN). Firstly, the expert system for the formulation design of osmotic pump of poor water-soluble drug was employed to design the formulation of glipizide PPOP, taking the dissolution test results of Glucotrol XL as the goal. Then glipizide PPOP was prepared according to the designed formulations and the in vitro dissolution was carried out. And in vivo evaluation was carried out between the samples which were similar to Glucotrol XL and the Glucotrol XL in Beagle dogs. The range of the factors of formulation and procedure, which could influence the drug release, was optimized using artificial neural network. Finally, the design space was found. It was found that the target formulation which was similar to Glucotrol XL in dissolution test could be obtained in a short period by using the expert system. The samples which were similar to Glucotrol XL were bio-equivalent to the Glucotrol XL in Beagle dogs. The design space of the key parameter coating weight gain was 9.5%-12.0%. It could be concluded that a well controlled product of glipizide PPOP was developed since the dissolution test standard of our product was more strict than that of Glucotrol XL.

BACKGROUND: Previously, more researches are about the pathological changesinskeleton, nerveandmuscularofcongenitalclubfoot(CCF). Researches are exploring the changes in the surrounding soft tissues of the deformed feet.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationships between the pathogeny,pathology and pathogenesis of CCF and extracellular matrix (ECM).DESIGN: A completely randomized controlled trial.SETTING: Institute of Orthopeadics of the Fourth Military Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: The study was conducted in the Institute of Orthopeadics of the Fourth Military Medical University from November 1997 to August 2003. The deep fascia of study group was obtained from 15 CCF patients who received operative corrections including 11 males and 4 females with an average of 9 months. Five infant corpses who died from non-neural muscular diseases and non-collagen diseases aged between 4 and 21 months with an average age of 11 months were selected in the control group.METHODS: Immunohistochemical investigation was used for the assay of both study and control group. Slices were quantitatively analyzed by Letica Q,570c color image analysis and management system.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Positive expressions of collagen Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ, and the relative contents in the deep fascia of both groups.RESULTS: The grey values for relative contents of collagen Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ in the interior foot were 116. 43 ± 11. 80, 132. 91 ± 8. 88, and 184. 40 ± 11.82respectively in the study group, and 169.28 ± 8.17, 176. 33 ± 9.47, and 194. 38 ±5.87 in the control group. The contents of collagen Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲincreased in the contractured tissues of CCF group with the most significant increase in collagen Ⅰ, followed by collagen Ⅲ and the increase of collagen Ⅱwas least. Additionally, collagen Ⅰ was negatively correlated with collagen Ⅲ. The positive expression of collagen Ⅱ might be an accompanying phenomenon, which had no correlation with collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ.CONCLUSION: ECM changes in CCF are accorded with fibrosis in tissues and organs and general fibroelastosis. Therefore, CCF might be caused by the fibrosis of interior foot.
