ABSTRACT
Objective To study the pharmacokinetics of raltitrexed using different ways of drug delivery, including femoral venous infusion, hepatic artery perfusion, hepatic artery injection of lipiodol suspension, hepatic artery perfusion followed by embolization with Gelfoam. Methods According to the administration way of raltitrexed, a total of 40 New Zealand rabbit models with VX2 liver tumor were randomly divided into group A (femoral venous perfusion), group B (hepatic arterial perfusion), group C (hepatic artery injection of lipiodol suspension), and group D(hepatic artery perfusion followed by embolization with Gelfoam). Drug concentration in plasma were determined by using LC-MS/MS method and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. Results After administration of raltitrexed, the Tmax was 5 minutes in all 4 groups. In group A, B, C and D, the values were (5.88±1.39), (7.31±2.60), (9.86±5.10) and (7.19±2.27) respectively, with group C having the longest t1/2 value, which was significantly different with that of group A (P＜0.05); the (ng·ml-1·h-1) values were (2 056.40± 139.17), (1 389.21±180.28), (911.84±105.62) and (1 133.41±181.42)respectively, with the value of group A being obviously higher than that of group B, C and D (P＜0.05) and the value of group C being the lowest; the AUC0-t(ng· ml-1·h-1) values were (5 482.72±1 007.07), (4 156.99±1 475.77), (2 785.13±1 107.36) and (3 903.64±947.25) respectively, with the value of group A being remarkably higher than that of group B, C and D (P＜0.05) and the value of group C being the lowest. Conclusion Compared with the femoral vein infusion way, the ways of hepatic artery infusion, hepatic artery lipiodol suspension injection and hepatic artery perfusion followed by embolization with Gelfoam may promote more raltitrexed to deposit in the tumor area, thus, the curative effect is enhanced, the drug concentration in plasma is lowered and the side effects are alleviated.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between cervical lesions in patients with high -risk human papilloma virus(HPV)infection and serum interleukin -1 beta(IL -1 ),interleukin 2(IL -2),interleukin 10(IL -10).Methods 180 cases of cervical lesions were treated in our hospital from August 2013 to August 2015. Among them,105 cases were infected with HPV,and 75 cases were not infected by HPV.The serum levels of IL -2, IL -10 and IL -1βwere observed in two groups,and compared the levels of serum IL -2,IL -10 and IL -1βin patients with different DNA hr -HPV load,the correlation between DNA hr -HPV load and IL -1β,IL -2 and IL -10 levels was analyzed.Results The levels of IL -1β,IL -10,IL -2 were (0.85 ±0.23)ng/L,(182.35 ± 10.02)ng/L,(38.97 ±5.23)ng/L in patients with HPV infection,the levels of IL -1β,IL -10,IL -2 in patients without HPV infection were (0.62 ±0.18)ng/L,(305.42 ±11.13)ng/L,(25.18 ±3.16)ng/L.The levels of IL -1β,IL -10 were significantly higher in HPV group than in without HPV infection group,the level of IL -2 in HPV group was significantly lower than that of uninfected HPV group,and the differences were statistically significant (t =7.222,20.328,-7.558,all P 1 000,100 -1 000 and 1 000.DNA hr -HPV load was positively correlated with serum IL -1βand IL -10 levels in patients with cervical lesions and HPV infection(r =0.452,0.422,P =0.035,0.019),and nega-tively correlated with IL -2 level(r =-0.398,P =0.027).Conclusion hr -HPV infection is closely correlated with serum IL -1β,IL -2,IL -10 levels in cervical lesions patients,IL -1,IL -2 and IL -10 can be used as impor-tant index for clinical monitoring.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the regulation of immune function in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) by the secretion of T cell 1 (Th1) gamma interferon gamma (IFN-γ) in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Methods From January 2011 to January 2014, 20 cases of laboratory-confirmed AIDS patients were collected for research. Patients with AIDS received highly active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART group), while 20 healthy volunteers were selected as control group. Before receiving highly active anti-retroviral treatment in six months and 12 months , the patients with AIDS were collected in blood study of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in separated culture group and IFN-γ co-culture group for testing culture differential expression of cytokines and immune cells in solution. Results Before treatment in 6 months and 12 months , the supernatants in the cultured alone group and IFN-γ co-culture group by IL-12, IL-21 levels were significantly lower than that in the healthy group (P < 0.05); After treatment in 6 months and 12 months , the supernatants in the IFN-γ co-culture group by IL-12 and IL-21 levels were significantly higher than that in the cultured alone group (PP < 0.05). Before treatment in 6 months and 12 months,the level of IP-10 and CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3Treg cells in the cultured alone group and IFN-γ co-culture group, were significantly higher than the healthy group (P < 0.05); After treatment in 6 months and 12 months, the supernatant in the IFN-γ co-culture group was significantly higher than the average in the cultured alone group in IP-10; CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3Treg cells in the IFN-γ co-culture group were significantly lower than that in the cultured alone group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Patients with AIDS received highly active anti-retroviral therapy can improve the immunity. IFN-γ may further stimulate the secretion of immune cytokine in patients with AIDS.
ABSTRACT
Through the consultation of TCM ancient classical theory, the relationship of kidney essence, marrow and brain is analyzed. It is discovered that the degenerative brain diseases, represented by Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) share the same etiological basis as "kidney essence deficiency and brain marrow emptiness" and have the mutual pathological outcomes as yang qi declining. The Governor Vessel gathers yang qi of the whole body and maintains the normal functional activity of zangfu organs in the human body through the storage, regulation and invigoration of yang qi. It is viewed that the theory of the Governor Vessel is applied to treat the different degenerative brain diseases, which provides the theoretic support and practice guide for the thought of TCM as the same therapeutic program for the different diseases. As a result, the degenerative brain diseases can be retarded and the approach is provided to the effective prevention and treatment of degenerative diseases in central nerve system:

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To establish a new pattern of ward round record for clinical pharmacist and rational use of drug. METHODS: The new pattern of ward round record was established according to domestic and foreign history pattern, The Principle and Proposed Pattern of Clinical Medication History in China, disease course record. This new pattern focused on patients’ disease and medication changes. A case of cardiovascular department was taken as example. RESULTS: Established ward around record contained two parts, i.e. first page and record chart. CONCLUSION: Established pattern is concise and practical and covers essential medical information. It makes communication more easily between pharmacist and doctors and meets the needs of clinical pharmacy practice.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To reduce the incidence of the disputes between pharmacists and patients. METHODS: The reasons for the disputes between pharmacists and patients as well as the countermeasures were analyzed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: The disputes between pharmacists and patients were mainly resulted form pharmacists' dispensing error, improper service attitude or skills, or lack of the ability in dealing with the problems. The quality of pharmaceutical care can be enhanced and the incidence of disputes can be reduced or evaded through institutionalized management, standardized operation and humane concern showed to patients etc.
