OBJECTIVE:To optimize the formulation of Asiaticoside cationic liposomes,and to investigate the characteristics of drug release in vitro. METHODS:The thin film dispersion method was used to prepare liposome;using encapsulation efficiency and drug-loading amount as index,the formulation of Asiaticoside liposomes was optimized by central composite design-response surface method with the ratio of drug to lipid(X1),the ratio of cholesterol to lipid(X2)and the concentration of D-mannose(X3) as factors. Using sodium lauryl sulfate as medium,in vitro release characteristics of cationic liposomes prepared with 1%octadecyl-amine was investigated by bag filter method,and compared with those of Asiaticoside solution and common liposome. RESULTS:The optimal formulation was X1 0.07,X2 0.17 and X3 0.03 g/ml. The encapsulation efficiency was (75.529 ± 1.071)%,and drug-loading amount was(2.539±0.029)%(n=3);the deviation from the predicted values were -0.217% and 0.205%;1% oc-tadecylamine was add into formulation to obtain cationic liposomes,and the Zeta potential had changed from -5.6 mV to 20.8 mV. in vitro accumulative release rates of Asiaticoside solution,common liposomes and cationic liposomes were 89.13%(12 h), 87.58%(72 h) and 94.46%(72 h),and the latter was in line with Weibull model. CONCLUSIONS:Asiaticoside cationic lipo-somes have high encapsulation efficiency,and can releases for 72 h.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effects of one-stage hemiarthroplasty in treating fresh subtrochanteric fracture combined with old femoral neck fracture.

METHODSFrom October 2003 to October 2013, 7 patients with fresh subtrochanteric fracture and old femoral neck fracture were treated with hemiarthroplasty in one stage. There were 5 males and 2 females, aged from 69 to 80 years old with an average of 74.5 years. According to the Garden classification, 2 cases were type IV and 5 cases were type V. According to the A0 classification of subtrochanteric fracture, all cases were type A1 (long oblique femoral subtrochanteric fractures). Biological coating long handle femoral prosthesis was used in the patients. The hip joint functions were assessed according to Charnley scoring system after all hemiarthroplasty.

Objective To study the clinical features,differential diagnosis and treatment of caesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) with sonographic mass.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 39 patients of CSP with sonographic mass undergoing treatment in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2005 to 2012.14 cases with misdiagnosis of gestational trophoblastic neoplasm,among 4 cases were administered by chemotherapy with methotrexate (MTX),cisplatin,fluorouracil (5-FU) and dactinomycin.According to treatment methods,39 cases were divided into five groups: 3 cases in methotrexate,16 cases in dilation and curettage,15 cases in excision of CSP lesion via laparoscopy,6 cases in excision of CSP lesion via laparotomy,and 4 cases in transabdominal hysterectomy (TAH).Results (1)Clinical characteristics: the mean age was (33 ± 5) years old.Five patients had undergone two prior caesarean sections.The median interval from the last caesarean delivery to CSP was 4 years.Thirty-five cases presented vaginal bleeding or abnormal serum β-hCG level from 5 cases with medical abortion,9 cases with artificial abortion and 21 cases with dilation and curettage.The sonography showed cystic-solid or solid mass with mixed echoes in the lower segment of anterior uterine wall,surrounded by peritrophoblastic vasculature.(2) Treatment outcome: diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic neoplasm was suspected or made in 20 patients,four of whom were even treated by chemotherapy.MTX therapy was given to 3 patients,2 of whom were cured.Dilation and curettages were given to 16 patients,11 of whom were cured.8 patients underwent curettage with sonographic guidance after uterine artery embolism,and 8 patients with laparoscopic or hysteroscopic guidance.All of 15 patients underwent excision of CSP lesion via laparoscopy were cured.4 patients were treated by TAH.(3) Time of in hospital and operation:in laparoscopy group,the average hospitalization days were (3.5 ± 1.6) days,the average operation duration was (54 ± 16)minutes.In laparotomy group,the average hospitalization days were (9.7 ± 5.8) days,and the average surgical duration was (87 ± 15) minutes.It reached significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions CSP with sonographic mass was the consequence of continued growth of residual pregnancy mass after incomplete abortion or curettage of CSP with gestation sac.The similar sonographic image might lead to misdiagnosis.Individual therapy was recommended.Excision of CSP lesion via laparoscopy might be the primary option for its advantages in differential diagnosis,caesarean scar defect repair and successful ratio.

BACKGROUND:Whether determination of tacrolimus blood concentration by different immunoassay methods can influence predictive ability to immunosuppressive effects and toxicity, and whether it can be more sensitive to reflect blood concentration in patients with renal dysfunction are worthy of studying.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation of tacrolimus (FK506) concentrations determined by enzyme-multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in combination with renal function parameters.
METHODS:133 clinical blood samples were col ected. EMIT and ELISA techniques were used to determine the FK506 concentration. The correlation of two determination methods were analyzed, combined with renal function. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In patients with renal dysfunction, the mean results and standard deviation mensurated by ELISA were higher than those by EMIT. For blood concentration in 5-20μg/L by ELISA, the incidence of renal dysfunction occurred less than by EMIT. The overal mean results of blood concentration for two methods appeared no significant difference (r=0.904 5, P>0.05). When the concentration was less than 2.0μg/L, the concentration results by EMIT were higher than those by ELISA (P<0.01). When the concentration was more than 2.0μg/L, there was no significant difference between two determination methods (P>0.05). These findings indicate that EMIT and ELISA has good correlation, which are both suitable for clinical routine determination of plasma concentration. It is not recommended for applying EMIT method to determine low blood concentrations (<2.0μg/L). The reference range of concentration should be compartmentalized depending on combination of determination methods and renal function.

BACKGROUND:The elastic modulus of the fiber post is close to that of the dentine, so they can form a homogeneous whole and share the masticatory force, which can ease the stress concentration of dentine and prevent from tooth fracture. OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical effects of anterior teeth with flared root canals restored by fiber posts using three application methods. METHODS:Anterior teeth with flared root canals from 48 patients were involved. They were divided into three groups, then restored with three post-core crowns respectively: a single fiber post, rehabilitation with composite resin, and fiber post combined with accessory post. Al patients were folowed up for 2 years to observe post and core loosening, fracture and root fracture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The group of a single fiber post was failed in eight teeth including four cases of post and core loosening and four cases of post and core fracture, with a successful rate of 64%. The group of rehabilitation with composite resin was failed in three teeth including two cases of post and core loosening and one case of post and core fracture, with a successful rate of 90%. The group of fiber post combined with accessory post was failed in two teeth of post and core loosening, with a successful rate of 93%. The successful rate of the group of a single fiber post was lower than that of the groups of rehabilitation with composite resin and fiber post combined with accessory post (P < 0.05) . The difference between the groups of rehabilitation with composite resin and fiber post combined with accessory post was not statisticaly significant (P > 0.05). The clinical effects of rehabilitation with composite resin and fiber post combined with accessory post are better than that of a single fiber post. But the method of combination fiber post with accessory post is recommended because of easy operation.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical effect and safety of Xuebijing injection in the treatment of moderate and se-vere infection of stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ pressure ulcer. METHODS:A total of 130 cases of moderate and severe infection of stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ pres-sure ulcer admitted to our hospital from Jul. 2011 and Jun. 2016 were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 65 cases in each group. Control group was treated with 0.5%Iodophor disinfectant to disinfect the sore surface,given wet ster-ile gauze soaked with 0.5% Iodophor disinfectant to compress sore surface for 30 min,and then given Aikangfu absorptive silver ion antibacterial healing dressing to fill wound,changed dressing after 2/3 was soaked. Observation group was additionally given Xuebijing injection 50 mL added into normal saline 100 mL intravenously for 30-40 min,2-3 times a day,for consecutive 7 days,on the basis of control group. Treatment course of both groups lasted for 4 weeks. The clinical efficacy,the score of pres-sure ulcer scale for healing(PUSH),debridement time,the time of local symptom and SIRS disappearance as well as the occur-rence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group(93.85%)was signifi-cantly higher than that of control group (80.00%),and debridement time,the time of local symptom and SIRS disappearance were all significantly shorter than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statisti-cal significance in PUSH score between 2 groups (P>0.05). After 1-4 weeks of treatment,PUSH score of 2 groups was de-creased significantly compared to before treatment,and the score of observation group was significantly lower than that of con-trol group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:For moderate and severe infection of stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ pressure ulcer,Xuebijing injection effectively reduces inflammatory exudation,improves the ab-sorption of necrotic tissue,relieves local symptom and systematic inflammatory reaction,promotes the healing of pressure ulcers and has good clinical effect and safety.
