Ibuprofen/ethyl-cellulose (EC)-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) sustained-release composite particles were prepared by using supercritical CO2 anti-solvent technology. With drug loading as the main evaluation index, orthogonal experimental design was used to optimize the preparation process of EC-PVP/ibuprofen composite particles. The experiments such as encapsulation efficiency, particle size distribution, electron microscope analysis, infrared spectrum (IR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and in vitro dissolution were used to analyze the optimal process combination. The orthogonal experimental optimization process conditions were set as follows: crystallization temperature 40 degrees C, crystallization pressure 12 MPa, PVP concentration 4 mgmL(-1), and CO2 velocity 3.5 Lmin(-1). Under the optimal conditions, the drug loading and encapsulation efficiency of ibuprofen/EC-PVP composite particles were 12.14% and 52.21%, and the average particle size of the particles was 27.621 microm. IR and DSC analysis showed that PVP might complex with EC. The experiments of in vitro dissolution showed that ibuprofen/EC-PVP composite particles had good sustained-release effect. Experiment results showed that, ibuprofen/EC-PVP sustained-release composite particles can be prepared by supercritical CO2 anti-solvent technology.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of B lymphocyte stimulator (Blys) and its receptor BAFF (BAFF-R) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods The expression of Blys and BAFF-R was measured by flow cytometry in 90 pa-tients with SLE,which was compared with that of 45 healthy controls. The relationships between the expression of Blys, BAFF-R and other laboratory parameters as well as disease activity were analyzed. Results The expression of Blys and BAFF-R in PBMCs from patients with SLE was significantly elevated compared to healthy controls (P <0.001), so did the active group (P < 0.001) and inactive group (P < 0.001 and P < 0.01). The expression of Blys in PBMCs from active SLE patients was higher than that of inactive patients (P <0.05). However,there was no statisti-cal difference of BAFF-R between the two groups. The expression of Blys in PBMCs was positively related to SLEDAI (r =0.728,P <0.001) ,IgG and IgM(r=0.691,P<0.001 and r =0.453,P<0.01) ,but negatively related to C3 and CA (r = -0.510, P < 0.001 and r = -0.312, P < 0.05). The expression of Blys in dsDNA positive group was higher than those of dsDNA negative group (P < 0.01). The expression of Blys and BAFF-R in Cl qAb positive group was higher than those of ClqAb negative group as well (P <0.01). Conclusion The expression of Blys and its receptor BAFF-R in PBMCs from SLE is elevated ,which may reflect the disease activity and is related to the pro-duction of autoantibody. They might be involved in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of open reduction and internal fixation with dynamic anterior plate-screw system for quadrilateral area ( DAPSQ ) in the treatment of elderly patients with acetabular fracture involving medial displacement of the quadrilateral surface. Methods Between January 2007 and December 2014, a series of 18 senile patients with acetabular fractures involving medial displace-ment of the quadrilateral surface were treated at our department. They were 13 men 5 women, with a mean age 67. 8 years ( range, from 61 to 78 years ) . By the Judet-Letournel classification, there were 4 anterior column fractures, 5 anterior column plus posterior hemitransverse fractures, 8 double column fractures and one T-shaped fracture. The delay from injury to surgery averaged 6. 5 days. All were treated with the technique of DAPSQ. Screw internal fixation of the quadrilateral area followed plate moulding via a single ilioinguinal ap-proach. Fixation with lag screws for the posterior column was added if necessary. Results The 18 pa-tients were followed up for 12 to 35 months ( mean, 26 months ) . By the Matta criteria for fracture reduction, 9 cases were rated as excellent, 6 as good and 3 as poor. Bone healing was achieved within 2 to 4 months( mean, 3. 5 months ) . By the modified Merle d'Aubigné & Postel criteria, the affected hips scored 9 to 18 points ( mean, 16. 3 points ) at the final follow-ups, giving 7 excellent, 7 good, 2 fair and 2 poor cases. By the Harris evaluation, the affected hips scored 58 to 98 points ( mean, 87. 6 points ) , giving 7 excellent, 8 good, one fair and 2 poor cases. The postoperative complications included urinary tract infection in one, lesion of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in one, heterotopic ossification ( Brooker Grade Ⅰ) in one, and traumatic osteoarthritis in 5 cases 2 of whom had to receive total hip arthroplasty. Conclusion The technique of DAPSQ is suitable for the treatment of acetabular fractures involving medial displacement of the quadrilateral surface in elderly patients, because it can provide and maintain stable fixation of the fracture in the quadri-lateral area and preserve hip joint function, leading to fine outcomes.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical characteristics and identify potential factors of the early-stage hip involvement in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) based on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Methods:A retrospective group control study was carried out in 570 AS patients who were consecutively admitted to our hospital from 2014 to 2018. Patients with hip pain or hip function limitation but lacking definitive evidence of hip involvement on radiography were underwent hip MRI. Patients were divided into three groups: no hip involvement, early-stage hip involvement (hip involvement detected by MRI but with negative radiographs) and advanced-stage hip involvement (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index-hip score ≥2). The study factors included demographic, laboratory, clinical and radiographic data. Simple and multiple ordinal logistic regression analysis were used to identify factors associated with the early-stage hip involvement and advanced-stage hip involvement.Results:A total of 236 patients (41.4%) presented with hip involvement, in which 146 cases (25.6%) were diagnosed with early-stage hip involvement, while 90 cases (15.8%) were diagnosed with advanced-stage hip involvement. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that older age at onset [ OR=0.80, 95% CI (0.72, 0.90), P<0.01], more active inflammation in the sacroiliac joints [ OR=1.13, 95% CI(1.07, 1.18), P<0.01] and worse BASMI score [ OR=3.06, 95% CI(2.14, 4.13), P<0.01] were associated with the occurrence of early-stage hip involvement. Conclusion:MRI is superior to radiography in detecting early-stage hip involvement. MRI is more suitable for hip involvement assessment in AS patients with suspected symptoms or risk factors of hip involvement.

Objective To observe the reliving of the work stress in new nurses by emotion management training. Methods A questionnaire about work stress was conducted among 60 nurses working in a level three class A hospital. The questionnaires included stress source questionnaire, the positive and negative emotion scale, trait coping style questionnaire and so on. After survey, 10 classes emotion management training was conducted. Then after training, the other survey result was collected and the data were analyzed. Results The work stress of new nurses were mainly caused by nursing specialty and work issues, especially frequent shift work. The score of positive emotion and coping were apparently increased, while the score of negative emotion and coping were decreased after training with statistical significance compared with scores before training ( P<0. 05). Conclusions The emotion management training was helpful to improve the positive emotion management and trait coping style, so as to relieve their work stress.

Objective To determine the influence of abiraterone acetate (AA) on neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and the prognostic predicting value of the serum NED markers in mCRPC patients treated with AA.Methods We conducted an analysis in 115 chemotherapy-naive mCRPC patients who were treated with chemotherapy in Renji hospital from 2013 to 2017.The median age was 70,ranged from 65 to 76 years old.The median CgA,NSE and PSA levels were 101.1 ng/ml (78.5-150.0 ng/ml),13.4 ng/ml (10.5-17.6 ng/ml) and 38.8 ng/ml (11.2-123.2 ng/ml),respectively.Among them,48 cases were classified as the group without AA treatment.The other 67 cases were classified as group after AA failure.In group without AA treatment,the median CgA,NSE and PSA levels were 109.1 ng/ml(80-151.5 ng/ml);13.8 ng/ml(10.8-18.2 ng/ml) and 39.2 ng/ml (8.6-200 ng/ml),respectively.In group after AA failure,the median CgA,NSE and PSA levels were 105.4 ng/ml(78.8-175.5 ng/ml),13.8 ng/ml(10.8-17.6 ng/ml) and 39.0 ng/ml(8.4-219.8 ng/ml),respectively.In the group with serial evaluation of NED markers during AA treatment,the median serum CgA,NSE levels at baseline were 115.9 ng/ml(90.1-201.5 ng/ml),13.3 ng/ml (10.4-18.1 ng/ml),respectively.The endpoints were PSA PFS(progression-free survival) and radiographic PFS (rPFS).Results In 34 patients with serial evaluation,serum NED markers level in 19 patients increased after the failure of AA treatment.Median serum CgA and NSE levels were 115.9 ng/ml(90.1-201.5 ng/ml)and 13.25 ng/ml (10.37-18.14 ng/ml) at baseline.Median serum CgA and NSE levels were 129.6ng/ml (75.5-230.5 ng/ml) and 14.7 ng/ml (11.8-19.1 ng/ml) after 6 months treatment,respectively.The median serum CgA and NSE levels were 130.4 ng/ml (95.7-205.7 ng/ml) and 15.2 ng/ml(12.4-18.7 ng/ml) at the time of failure of AA treatment,respectively.There was no significant difference of NED markers between baseline and failure of AA treatment (P =0.243).In logistic univariate analysis,AA treatment and its duration were not independent factors influencing NED(P =0.30;P =0.52).Compared with the NED markers elevation group in the first 6 months of AA treatment and baseline supranormal NED markers group,the NED markers decline group(PSA PFS(17.1 vs.10.4 months,P < 0.001) and rPFS (17.0 vs.10.4 months,P =0.003)) and baseline normal NED markers group(PSA PFS(14.1 vs.9.5 months,P =0.001) and rPFS(16.4 vs.10.5 months,P < 0.001)) has a longer median PSA PFS and rPFS respectively.In multivariate Cox analysis,baseline NED markers level and NED markers variation during the first 6 months of AA treatment remained significant predictors of rPFS(P < 0.05),and PSA-PFS (P < 0.05).Conclusions We found there was heterogeneity in changes of NED markers in different mCRPC patients during AA treatment,and AA might not significantly lead to progression of NED of mCRPC in general.Serial CgA and NSE evaluation might help clinicians guide clinical treatment of mCRPC patients.Serum NED markers elevation during the first 6 months of AA treatment and elevated baseline NED markers levels indicated poor prognosis in mCRPC treated with AA.
