ABSTRACT
Comparative pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis is often carried out throughout the entire period of drug development, the common approach for the assessment of pharmacokinetics between different treatments requires that the individual PK parameters, which employs estimation of 90% confidence intervals for the ratio of average parameters, such as AUC and Cmax, these 90% confidence intervals then need to be compared with the pre-specified equivalent interval, and last we determine whether the two treatments are equivalent. Unfortunately in many clinical circumstances, some or even all of the individuals can only be sparsely sampled, making the individual evaluation difficult by the conventional non-compartmental analysis. In such cases, nonlinear mixed effect model (NONMEM) could be applied to analyze the sparse data. In this article, we simulated a sparsely sampling design trial based on the dense sampling data from a truly comparative PK study. The sparse data were analyzed with NONMEM method, and the original dense data were analyzed with non-compartment analysis. Although the trial design and analysis methods are different, the 90% confidence intervals for the ratio of PK parameters based on 1000 Bootstrap are very similar, indicated that the analysis based on NONMEM is a reliable method to treat with the sparse data in the comparative pharmacokinetic study.
ABSTRACT
Objective To improve the clinic,CT and pathologic knowledge of pleomorphic hyanilizing angiectatic tumor of soft parts(PHAT).Methods Clinical,CT and pathologic characters of PHAT in one case at the right nuchal region were detailedly analysed with literature review.Results The clinical symptoms of PHAT were slight and unspecified.The lesion appeared as a orbicular-ovate tumour with sublobe and clear edge,the density of tumor was uneven on plain scan and uneven enhanced after injected contrast agent,and a part of the tumour was enhanced close to the CT value of blood vessel.The characters of pathology were the presence of clusters of dilated thin-walled vessels,with prominent hyalinization of vessel wall,perivascular and intercellular hyalinization,and pantomorphia neoplastic cell distributed between these dilated vessels.Conclusion PHAT is a low potential malignant soft tissue tumor,it has some specific CT and pathologic characters.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clinical CT manifestations of infective ovarian cysts so as to improve diagnostic ability.Methods All the cases were evaluated on plane scan and enhancement scan.Their manifestations on CT were analysed.Results The cysts lying in the left ovary account for 14 cases, in the right ovary 4 cases. The size of cysts varied from 11 cm?10 cm?11 cm to 4 cm?3 cm?4 cm. The cyst walls thickened to some extent. 15 cases thickened “gradually”. 3 cases thickened “comparatively evenly”. The thickness of the cyst walls was over 1 cm, the thickest being 2 cm. The length of the thickened wall was more than one half circumference of the cyst, with smooth inner side.The cyst wall showed the density of soft tissues and it was mildly intensified after being enhanced.Conclusion The clinical CT manifestations of infective ovarian cysts have certain characteristics.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the CT features and the diagnostic value in invasive mole. Methods Eleven cases (age, 30 to 53 years, mean 40 years)with invasive mole proved by operation and pathology were studied, including 3 cases during peri menopausal period of eight months, ten months and twelve months respectively. All cases were scanned by CT and enhanced study was done. Results All cases showed enlargement of uterus of varying degrees. On CT, the density of uterine cavity was similar to that of water, intermingled with spotty patchy and hazzy circular isodense shadows. High density stripe like bleeding foci were found in 3 cases.The outline of uterine cavity was locally disrupted in all case and the muscle layer was thickened in 3 cases. On enhanced CT scan, the lesions in the uterine cavity appeared markedly hyperdense, just like “the crater” and the “mole sign” .The muscle layers at the site of disruption showed inhomogeneous enhancement after contrast injection. Conclusion The CT features of invasive mole are characteristic, with important diagnostic value, especially for those during peri menopausal period.
ABSTRACT
The clinical data of 67 patients underwent orthotopic liver transplantation, including 4 cases of early intra abdominal hemorrhage after orthotopic liver transplantation, were analyzed retrospectively.Anastomotic liver artery hemorrhage was found in 2 cases, hemorrhage of IVC in 1 case and hemorrhage of right adrenal gland in 1 case. All the 4 patients were correctly dignosed and successfully treated by operation in time. It suggests that the early intra abdominal hemorrhage after orthotopic liver transplantation is mostly due to surgical technique. The improvement of surgical technique,correct diagnosis and timely operation are very important for the treatment of intra abdominal hemorrhage.
ABSTRACT
To investigate the phenotype characteristics of peripheral blood lymphocytes(PBL)grown in the presence of IL 12 and IL 2. CD2,CD3,CD8,CD28, CD19 and NK were detected using immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. The phenotype of PBL showed significant changes after being cultured 72h with IL 12 and IL 2 respectively.IL 12 mainly increased CD2( P
