ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the infection rate of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), indolent B-NHL and multiple myeloma (MM) and its relationship with clinicopathological features. Methods The clinical data of 293 aggressive B-NHL, 181 indolent B-NHL and 261 MM patients in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from January 2009 to April 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The difference of HBV infection was compared among three groups. Serum samples from all patients were tested for HBV markers, including hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb), hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), hepatitis B e antibody (HBeAb) and hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) by using chemiluminescence immunoassay. Results The positive rate of HBsAg was 9.2% (27/293), 5.5% (10/181) and 3.8% (10/261), respectively in the aggressive B-NHL group, indolent B-NHL group and MM group. The positive rate of HBsAg in the aggressive B-NHL group was higher than that in the indolent B-NHL group and MM group (χ2＝6.987, P＝0.030), and there was no statistical difference of HBsAg positive rate between the indolent B-NHL group and MM group (P ＞ 0.05). The positive rate of HBsAg, HBeAg, HBcAb in the aggressive B-NHL group was higher than that in the indolent B-NHL group and MM group [4.1% (12/293), 0, 0.8% (2/261); χ2＝ 14.976, P＝ 0.001], and there was no significant difference in the positive rate of HBsAg, HBeAg and HBcAb between the indolent B-NHL group and MM group (P ＞ 0.05). Compared with HBsAg negative aggressive B-NHL patients, HBsAg positive aggressive B-NHL patients showed, higher ratio of stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ [70.4% (19/27) vs. 49.2% (131/266), χ 2 ＝ 4.377, P＝0.036], more frequent involvement of spleen [51.9% (14/27) vs. 23.7% (63/266), χ 2＝ 10.039, P＝ 0.002], more frequent of B symptom [55.6% (15/27) vs. 32.0% (85/266), χ 2 ＝ 6.073, P＝ 0.014], more frequent of elevated total bilirubin [29.6% (8/27) vs. 14.3% (38/266), χ 2 ＝ 4.360, P ＝ 0.037] and more frequent of reduced albumin [55.6% (15/27) vs. 35.7% (95/266), χ 2＝ 4.115, P＝ 0.042]. Conclusions The infection rate of HBV in aggressive B-NHL patients is higher than that in the indolent B-NHL and MM patients. HBsAg positive aggressive B-NHL patients are associated with adverse clinical characteristics.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the nasal mucosa absorption of paeonol ofXingbi microemulsion-based thermo-sensitive gel in rats; To evaluate the nasal mucosa absorption of medicine and the rationality of preparation form.Methods According to the nasal administration method, the blood medicine concentration of paeonol was determined at different time points.Results The nasal administration bioavailability of paeonol in Xingbi microemulsion-based thermo-sensitive gel was 78.68%, the plasma concentration reached the maximum (0.3404 μg/mL) after 3 min of administration, and the average residence time was 9.23 h. After reaching Cmax, The plasma concentration changed similar to intravenous administration of paeonol. The concentration data of paeonol in plasma was consistent with a two-compartment model, with a weight of 1.Conclusion Xingbi microemulsion-based thermo- sensitive gel has a higher bioavailability, and the preparation form was reasonable.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish the quality standards of Gualou Guizhi Dropping Pills; To investigate the vitro dissolution. Methods HPLC was used to determine the contents of paeoniflorin, albiflorin, cinnamic acid, 6-gingerol, liquiritin, glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritigenin in the dropping pills. The vitro dissolution rate of dropping pills was determined by rotating basket method. Results The calibration curves of paeoniflorin and albiflorin were in a good linearity in the range of 0.690–6.900 μg, 0.300–2.996 μg, respectively, and the average recoveries were 101.12% and 98.52%, respectively, with RSD of 2.24%, 1.37%, respectively. Cinnamic acid was linear in the range of 0.023–0.348 μg and the average recovery was 98.21% with RSD of 2.00%. 6-Gingerol was linear in the range of 0.025–0.382 μg, and the average recovery was 99.19% with RSD of 2.18%. The calibration curves of liquiritin, glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritigenin were in a good linearity in the ranges of 0.120–2.498 μg, 0.150–2.253 μg, and 0.010–0.147 μg, respectively, and the average recoveries were 99.80%, 100.38%, and 100.62%, respectively with RSD of 2.10%, 1.91%, 1.66%, respectively. The accumulated dissolution rates of seven kinds of elements in the dropping pills all reached more than 98% in 15 min. Conclusion The method is simple and accurate, with repeatability, which can be applied to the quality control of Gualou Guizhi Dropping Pills. The vitro dissolution rates meet relevant standards.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of Gualou Guizhi Granules on excitatory toxic damage of PC12 induced by glutamate; To primarily explore the involved protective mechanism of Gualou Guizhi Granules. Methods Excitatory toxic damage of PC12 induced by glutamate was used to establish models. Cells were divided into normal group, glutamate group, and Gualou Guizhi Granules low- (200 μg/mL), medium- (400 μg/mL) and high-dose (800 μg/mL) groups. MTT and LDH assay methods were used to detect PC12 activity; Caspase-3 activity detection method and Annexine V/PI double staining method were used to detect cell apoptosis; Western blot and RT-PCR were used to detect Bcl-2, Bax protein and mRNA expression. Results Compared with glutamate group, MTT showed that all Gualou Guizhi Granules groups could improve PC12 activity, and LDH showed that cell activity in all Gualou Guizhi Granules groups decreased; Annexine V/PI double staining method showed that all Gualou Guizhi Granules groups could decrease the PC12 apoptosis; Caspase-3 activity detection method showed that all Gualou Guizhi Granules groups could decrease the activity of Caspase-3; Western blot and RT-PCR showed that all Gualou Guizhi Granules groups could reduce Bax expression and increase Bcl-2 expression. Conclusion Gualou Guizhi Granules have certain protective effects on excitatory toxic damage of PC12 induced by glutamate, which may be related to its anti-apoptotic activity.
