ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To re-evaluate t he methodology quality of published systematic review/Meta-analysis of antidepressants in the treatment of post-stroke depression. METHODS ：Retrieved from Cochrane Library ，PubMed，Embase， SinoMed，CNKI，Wanfang database ，VIP，CBM and other databases ，systematic review/Meta-analysis of antidepressants in the treatment of post-stroke depression were collected during the inception to Dec. 2019. After literature screening and data extraction ， methodology quality of included literatures were evaluated by using the AMSTAR scale. RESULTS ：A total of 33 systematic reviews/Meta-analysis were included ，involving 523 RCTs and 41 020 patients. Average score of AMSTAR methodological quality evaluation was 6.76. Citalopram ，duloxetine and paroxetine were effective for the therapy of post-stroke depression ，but the conclusions about the effectiveness among antide-pressants were not consistents. The ADR incidence of Paroxetine was low. It was not clear that sertraline and citalopram may improve the neurological function of patients. CONCLUSIONS ：The methodological quality of systematic review/Meta-analysis of antidepressants in the treatment of post-stroke depression is medium ，and the conclusions about the effectiveness of antidepressants ，improvement of daily life ability and the recovery of neurological function are still controversial.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To provide some thoughts for pharmaceutical treatment and care for the patients with pulmonary infection af-ter renal transplantation. Methods:Clinical pharmacists participated the whole treatment process of one case of pulmonary infection af-ter renal transplantation. According to the literatures combined with medical history, clinical symptoms and lab results, the drug treat-ment process of the patient was analyzed, and the key points of the optimized pharmaceutical care were summarized. Results: The pharmaceutical care included the dose adjustment of immunosuppressants at the early phase of the disease and after the improvement of clinical symptoms, attention paid to the interactions between multiple anti-infective drugs and immunosuppressive agents, dosage ad-justment based on the renal function of the patient, monitoring adverse drug reactions and drawing up personalized regimen. Conclu-sion:Through comprehensive medication monitoring, clinical pharmacists can help physicians develop timely and effective treatment programs and provide professional and effective pharmaceutical care for patients.
ABSTRACT
To investigate the effects of particle size, mPEG molecular weight, coating density and zeta potential of monomethoxyl poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (mPEG-PLGA) nanoparticles on their transportation across the rat nasal mucosa, mPEG-PLGA-NPs with different mPEG molecular weights (M(r) 1 000, 2 000) and coating density (0, 5%, 10%, 15%) and chitosan coated PLGA-NP, which loaded coumarin-6 as fluorescent marker, were prepared with the nanoprecipitation method and emulsion-solvent evaporation method, and determine their particle size, zeta potential, the efficiency of fluorescent labeling, in vitro leakage rate and the stability with the lysozyme were determined. The effects of physical and chemical properties on the transmucosal transport of the fluorescent nanoparticles were investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The result showed that the size of nanoparticles prepared with nanoprecipitation method varied between 120 and 200 nm; the size of nanoparticles prepared with emulsion-solvent evaporation method varied between 420 and 450 nm. Nanoparticles dispersed uniformly; the zeta potential of PLGA-NPs was negative; mPEG-PLGA-NPs was close to neutral; chitosan coated PLGA-NPs was positive; and the efficiency of fluorescent labeling were higher than 80%. In vitro leak was less than 5% within 4 h and nanoparticles were basically stable with lysozyme. The CLSM results show that the transportation efficiency of mPEG-PLGA-NPs with a high PEG coating density and high mPEG molecular weight was significantly higher than that of uncoated PLGA nanoparticles and also that of chitosan coated PLGA-NPs (P < 0.05). The hydrophilcity, zeta potential and particle size of nanoparticles play important roles on the efficiency of mPEG-PLGA nanoparticles to transport across the rat nasal mucosa.
ABSTRACT
The present study is to establish Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-cultured cells and investigate the transport capability of PLGA nanoparticles with different surface chemical properties across Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-cultured cells. PLGA-NPs, mPEG-PLGA-NPs and chitosan coated PLGA-NPs were prepared by nanoprecipitation method using poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) as carrier material with surface modified by methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) and chitosan. The particle size and zeta potential of nanoparticles were measured by dynamic light scattering. Coumarin 6 was used as a fluorescent marker in the transport of nanoparticles investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The transport of furanodiene (FDE) loaded nanoparticles was quantitively determined by high performance liquid chromatography. Colchicine and nocodazole were used in the transport study to explore the involved endocytosis mechanisms of nanoparticles. Distribution of the tight junction proteins ZO-1 was also analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. The results showed that the nanoparticles dispersed uniformly. The zeta potential of PLGA-NPs was negative, the mPEG-PLGA-NPs was close to neutral and the CS-PLGA-NPs was positive. The entrapment efficiency of FDE in all nanoparticles was higher than 75%. The transport capability of mPEG-PLGA-NPs across Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-cultured cells was higher than that of PLGA-NPs and CS-PLGA-NPs. Colchicine and nocodazole could significantly decrease the transport amount of nanoparticles. mPEG-PLGA-NPs could obviously reduce the distribution of ZO-1 protein than PLGA-NPs and CS-PLGA-NPs. The transport mechanism of PLGA-NPs and mPEG-PLGA-NPs were indicated to be a combination of endocytosis and paracellular way, while CS-PLGA-NPs mainly relied on the endocytosis way. PEG coating could shield the surface charge and enhance the hydrophilicity of PLGA nanoparticles, which leads mPEG-PLGA-NPs to possess higher anti-adhesion activity. As a result, mPEG-PLGA-NPs could penetrate the mucus layer rapidly and transport across Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-cultured cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the easement degree of pain after the treatment of low back pain patients in 6 months after the operation.Methods To treat lumbar degenerative osteoarthritis (21cases),lumbar disc herniation(31 cases),Lumbar spinal stenosis assompanied with lumbar disc herniation(1 cases) with percutaneous radiofrequency-ablation,compare the JOA,VAS,Oswestry score of the patients before and at the just after operation,2 weeks,6weeks,3 months,6 months after operation.Results The JOA score of patients after operation rise obviously than that of patients before operation,and VAS and Oswestry score reduce obviously,they all have statiscal significance(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The pain of patients who suffered from discogenic low back pain,lumbar disc herniation is relieved by percutaneous radiofrequency-ablation,the quality of patients'life is heightened,all of above indicate that the treatment is an effective method for discogenic low back pain,lumber disc herniation.
