ABSTRACT
Alismatis Rhizoma(AR)is widely used in Chinese medicine,and its major bioactive components,tri-terpenes,reportedly possess various pharmacological activities.Therefore,it is very important to study the metabolism of triterpenes in vivo.However,the metabolism of AR triterpene extract has not been comprehensively elucidated due to its complex chemical components and metabolic pathways.In this study,an ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry method,which was based on the characteristic ions from an established database of known triterpenes,was used to analyze the major metabolites in rats following the oral administration of Alismatis Rhizoma extracts(ARE).As a result,a total of 233 constituents,with 85 prototype compounds and 148 metabo-lites,were identified for the first time.Hydrogenation,oxidation,sulfate and glucuronidation conjugation were the major metabolic pathways for triterpenes in AR.In addition,the mutual in vivo transformation of known ARE triterpenes was discovered and confirmed for the first time.Those results provide comprehensive insights into the metabolism of AR in vivo,which will be useful for future studies on its pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics.Moreover,this established strategy may be useful in meta-bolic studies of similar compounds.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effect of laparoscopic minimally invasive on anorectal dynamics and serum carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724) in patients with rectal cancer.Methods:38 cases of rectal cancer patients were selected as the research group from March 2014 to March 2016 and 40 cases of non neoplastic intestinal polyps as control group,Preoperative anorectal dynamics index (anal resting pressure (ARP),rectal resting pressure (RRP)and anal maximal contraction pressure (MSP),rectal maximum tolerated volume (MTV) of two groups were compared,Preoperative and 3 d,1,2 weeks after operation of serum CEA and CA724 levels were detected in the research group and the clinical curative effect was observed.Results:There was no significant difference of ARP,RRP,MSP,MTV before operation in research group compared with the control group(P＞0.05),and was significantly reduced 2,4 weeks after operation(P＜0.05),then gradually restored,and basically recovered to the preoperative level 12 weeks after operation.There was no significant difference of serum CEA and CA724 levels 3 d after operation compared with preoperative in research group (P＞0.05),and were significantly lower 1,2 weeks after operation compared with preoperative (P＜0.05).The clinical effective rate was 65.8％.Conclusion:Efficacy of laparoscopic minimally invasive in treatment of rectal cancer is effective,can effectively reduce the levels of tumor markers,although there are some influence on anorectal dynamics,but it can be returned to normal in the short term.
ABSTRACT
Objective The research is to study the temperature rising situation in the thermochemotherapy process of the domestic dog through the hepatic artery, and the bearing ability of heart, liver, and kidney during the process, as well as the biochemical and histological change of the liver after the procedure. Methods A thermostated container of water bath and an infusion pump, both designed domestically, were adopted. Ten domestic dogs were divided into 2 groups of A and B with 5 dogs respectively. Through hepatic artery infusion for group A, glucose solution (GS) was administered at 43?C for 30 minutes, with the flowing rate of 30ml/min, in group B 5% GS at 45?C for 30 minutes, with the flowing rate of 40ml/min added with chemotherapy drug MMC(0.2mg/kg) was administered to 3 dogs and 5% GS with the same flowing rate added with CDDP(1mg/kg) into other 2 dogs. Results The temperature of anus and liver was 0.3～0.5?C and 0.5～1.0?C higher than before the procedure respectively, there was no significant rate changes of heart and respiration during and before the procedure. Four dogs were radiographied after 15 minutes' infusion, showing different degrees of hepatic artery dilation accompanied with relevant increase of infusion. Six dogs were radiographied after 30 minutes' infusion, 5 of them showed arterial contraction astescal on accompanied with relevant decrease of infusion. There appeared slight or moderate increase of aminopherase after the procedure, but in actually returned to normal within a week. Pathologically, there appeared no acute effect on heart, lung and kidney other than slight and reversible damage to hepatic tissue. Conclusions Healthy dogs can endure the chemotherapy treatment of infusion through hepatic arterial fistula at 43?C 45?C for 30 minutes.
