ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the clinical characteristics, treatment methods and outcomes of extramedullary plasmacytoma of the head and neck. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 10 cases with extramedullary plasmacytoma of the head and neck who were admitted to Henan Tumor Hospital from January 2005 to January 2020. Among the 10 patients, 6 were male and 4 were female. The average age at diagnosis was 56.3 years old (34-74 years old). Among them, 3 cases were located in the nasal cavity, 2 cases in the nasopharynx, 1 case in the sinuses, 2 cases in the larynx, 1 case in the oropharynx, and 1 case in the cervical lymph nodes. Treatments were administered according to tumor size and resection extent. Complete surgical excision (negative margins) was preferred, followed by adjuvant radiotherapy or radiotherapy alone. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of EMP were analyzed. Results: The patients' symptoms were not specific, frequently with local obstruction symptom and localized masses. All patients were confirmed pathologically as suffering from monoclonal plasmacytoma, with negative bone marrow biopsy and negative skeletal survey. Five patients received surgery, 3 received radiotherapy, and 2 received surgery with additional radiation. The follow-up time was 16-125 months, with a median of 92 months. Two patients developed into multiple myeloma. One patient who received radiotherapy after surgery relapsed after 7 years of follow-up and again received surgical treatment, with no evidence of second recurrence. The remaining patients had no recurrence or progression. Conclusion: Extramedullary plasmacytoma of the head and neck has a good prognosis. Surgical treatment can be considered for completely resectable lesions.

OBJECTIVE@#To study the clinical features of electrical status epilepticus during sleep (ESES) in children, as well as the clinical effect of methylprednisolone pulse therapy in children with ESES.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was performed using the clinical data of 78 children with ESES. Among these children, 56 children who had had the failure of antiepileptic drugs were treated with methylprednisolone pulse therapy at a dose of 15-20 mg/(kg·d) for three courses. Each course of treatment was 3 days, followed by oral prednisone [1-2 mg/(kg·d)] for 3 days. The role of methylprednisolone pulse therapy in eliminating ESES, controlling clinical seizures, and improving intelligence and behaviors was analyzed.@*RESULTS@#The mean age of onset of epilepsy in 78 children was 6.8±2.4 years, and the mean age for the first occurrence of ESES was 7.6±2.5 years. Compared with normal children, children with ESES had delayed intelligence development and higher scores of some behavior problems. Methylprednisolone pulse therapy had an overall response rate of 73% (41/56) on clinical seizures, and the overall response rate on electroencephalography (EEG)/spike-wave index was 70% (39/56) after treatment. There were significant improvements in verbal intelligence quotient, performance intelligence quotient and full intelligence quotient, and significant reductions in the scores of learning problems, impulse-hyperactivity and hyperactivity index after treatment (P<0.05). The overall recurrence rate after 1-year follow-up was 29% (11/38).@*CONCLUSIONS@#ESES often presents around school age and impairs children's intelligence and behaviors. Methylprednisolone pulse therapy has a marked efficiency in reducing clinical seizures and EEG discharges in children with ESES and can improve intelligence and behavior development, but the recurrence rate remains high.

ABSTRACT
It is great value to analyze the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease for the formulation and research of prevention and treatment strategies. The change of zang-fu meridians and collaterals is the essential rule of the pathogenesis of internal injury and miscellaneous diseases. Based on the analysis of the physiological basis of the aging changes of zang-fu meridians and the relationship between dementia and the abnormal function of zang-fu meridians and collaterals, this paper systematically explored the relationship between the changes of zang-fu meridians and the pathogenesis of dementia. It is considered that the change of zang-fu meridians and collaterals is the basic law of its pathogenesis development. Therefore, it is proposed that strengthening Qi is the essential principle throughout the whole process of dementia, and dredging channels and collaterals and maintaining normal function of meridians and collaterals are the key to block the pathogenesis evolution of dementia.

Objective: Based on the Chinese Medicine Heritage Auxiliary Platform (V2.5) software, to analyze the differences in prescriptions for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and Vascular dementia in the literature of the past five years, and to find the rules of prescription. Methods: Screening CNKI, VIP, and Wan fang data for nearly 5 years to find the prescriptions for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and Vascular dementia, and constructing a prescription database through the Chinese Medicine Heritage Auxiliary Platform (V2.5) software, and utilizing the Data mining algorithms such as association rules and entropy clustering of the software. Compare the frequency of medication, the drug.s natural, flavor and channel tropism, the common drug pairs, the potential drug pairs, and the differences in the new prescriptions used in the treatment of senile dementia and vascular dementia. Results: 13 of the top 20 high frequency herbs used in AD and VD are the same, the other is different. Its common pathogenesis reflect the interaction of deficiency, stasis and phlegm, while the difference shows that AD focuses on spleen and kidney deficiency, insufficiency of essence and blood, but VD focuses on the interaction of phlegm blood stasis and toxic turbidity obstruction in collaterals. They both use warm herbs in nature and flavor, but AD mainly use sweet and warm herbs, followed by calm and cold herbs, while VD mainly use bitter and warm herbs, followed by cold and calm herbs; The channel tropisms both are mainly liver channel, followed by heart channel, spleen channel and kidney channel. In addition, 16 potential medicine pairs, 7 new prescriptions, 26 new prescriptions and 13 new prescriptions were found. Conclusion:Prescriptions for AD and VD have similarities and differences, with emphasis on each other, suggesting that the former focuses on warming Yang and invigorating spleen, while the latter focuses on resolving phlegm and removing blood stasis, detoxifying and awakening the brain.
ABSTRACT
Aim Tongluoxingnao effervescent tablets ( TLXNET) ,based on the ancient formula of QiongGui Tang, can improve cognitive dysfunction in different AD models. This research is aimed to study the effects of TLXNET on the Aβmetabolism and explore the anti-AD mechanism in SH-SY5 Y-APP and SH-SY5 Y-C99 cells. Methods Cells were incubated for 48h in dif-ferent concentrations of medicated serum ( containing 0% ~40% of TLXNET in the serum ) . Firstly, the non-toxic concentration was measured by MTT assay, the activity of cells was detected by LDH methods, and ELISA was used to measure the levels of Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 . Then, the gene and protein expressions of APP were detected via RT-PCR and Western blot of which the expressions of shearing fragments such as sAPPα and sAPPβ were investigated by Western blot, the same as the expressions of IDE and NEP. Addi-tionally, the level of mRNA, protein and activity of BACE1 were measured by qRT-PCR, Western blot and fluorescence detection kits respectively. Eventually, MTT assay was performed to detect the cell viability after the SH - SY 5 Y cells were treated with various concentrations of medicated serum and Aβ25-35 for 48h. Results There was no significant toxicity of TLXNET medicated serum in SH-SY5 Y-APP and SH-SY5 Y-C99 cells ( P >0 . 05 ) . TLXNET could signifi-cantly inhibit Aβ secretion in SH-SY5 Y-APP cells ( P0. 05). Additionally, TLXNET could still notably inhibit the expression of sAPPβ pro-tein in a dose-dependent way, with statistical signifi-cance ( P <0. 05 ) . Meanwhile, the level of mRNA, protein and activity of BACE1 were also significantly decreased by TLXNET (P <0. 01). Moreover, the medicated serum of TLXNET had a protective effect on SH-SY5 Y apoptosis induced by Aβ25-35 ( P <0 . 01 ) . Conclusion TLXNET could obviously inhibit β-secretase enzyme, and has an antagonistic effect a-gainst Aβneurotoxicity, which suggests that the inhibi-tion of β-secretase enzyme and antagonism against Aβneurotoxicity are the main anti-AD mechanism of TLX-NET .
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the immunological characteristics of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis model and examine the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) treatment.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty-two male specific pathogen free Spragne-Dawley rats were randomly equally assigned to four groups: control, TNBS, APS and prednisone groups. Experimental colitis was induced by enema administration of TNBS. Then rats were treated with APS (0.5 g•kg•day, once daily) or prednisone (1.0 mg•kg•day, once daily) by gavage for 14 days. Macroscopic lesion and histological damage were determined, and activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) was measured in the colonic tissues. Expressions of T-box expressed in T-cells (T-bet) and GATA-binding protein-3 (GATA-3) were determined by immunohistochemistry analysis and western blot.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Both macroscopic lesion and histological colonic damage induced by TNBS were reduced by APS and prednisone treatment. These were accompanied by significant attenuation of MPO activity (P=0.03). TNBS intervention enhanced the expression of both GATA-3 and T-bet, but the expression of T-bet was significantly enhanced than that of GATA-3, resulting in significant reduction of GATA-3/T-bet ratio (P=0.025). APS administration enhanced the expression of T-bet (P=0.04) and GATA-3 (P=0.019) in comparison to TNBS group, and resulting in an up-regulated GATA-3/T-bet ratio. Prednisone treatment inhibited both expressions; however it also resulted in up-regulation of the GATA-3/T-bet ratio.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>These results demonstrated that APS exerted a beneficial immune regulatory effect on experimental colitis. It promoted the expression of T helper cell 1 (Th1) and T helper cell 2 (Th2) specific transcription factors but ultimately favor a shift toward Th2 phenotype, suggesting that APS possessed therapeutic potential in experimental colitis.</p>

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Hyperglycemia is associated with poor clinical outcomes and mortality in several patients. However, studies evaluating hyperglycemia variation in tumor patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) are scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between glycemia and tumor kinds with TPN by monitoring glycemic variation in tumor patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>This retrospective clinical trial selected 312 patients with various cancer types, whose unique nutrition treatment was TPN during the monitoring period. All patients had blood glucose (BG) values assessed at least six times daily during the TPN infusion. The glycemic variation before and after TPN was set as the indicator to evaluate the factors influencing BG.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The clinical trial lasted 7.5 ± 3.0 days adjusted for age, gender, family cancer history and blood types. There were six cancer types: Hepatic carcinoma (HC, 21.8%), rectal carcinoma (17.3%), colon carcinoma (CC, 14.7%), gastric carcinoma (29.8%), pancreatic carcinoma (11.5%), and duodenal carcinoma (DC, 4.8%). The patients were divided into diabetes and nondiabetes groups. No statistical differences in TPN glucose content between diabetes and nondiabetes groups were found; however, the tumor types affected by BG values were obvious. With increasing BG values, DC, HC and CC were more represented than other tumor types in this sequence in diabetic individuals, as well as in the nondiabetic group. BG was inclined to be more easily influenced in the nondiabetes group. Other factors did not impact BG values, including gender, body mass index, and TPN infusion duration time.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>When tumor patients are treated with TPN, BG levels should be monitored according to different types of tumors, besides differentiating diabetes or nondiabetes patients. Special BG control is needed for DC, HC and CC in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients. If BG overtly increases, positive measurements are needed to control BG values. The ClinicalTrials.gov ID is NCT02024321.</p>

To prepare Zhitong micro-emulsion in this study, with the empirical formula of Zhitong preparation as the model medicine, the essential oil in the formula as the oil phase, and the water decoction as the water phase. The types of surfactant and co-surfactant were investigated. The changes in micro-emulsion conductivity and construction, the water percentage in the micro-emulsion system, the changing curve of conductivity and the fine pseudo-ternary phase diagram of micro-emulsion were drawn to determine the surfactant-co-surfactant mass ratio (K(m)). Subsequently, the D-mixture design was used to optimize Zhitong Micro-emulsion formula, with particle size and surface tension of micro-emulsion as the indexes. Finally, efforts were made to determine part of physical parameters of Zhitong micro-emulsion and preliminarily detect its stability. The results showed that the micro-emulsion was optimal with the EL-35-tween 20 ratio of 4:1 in surfactant, whereas the absolute ethyl alcohol was recommended as the co-surfactant. The ratio between surfactant and co-surfactant (K(m)) was 1.5. The finalized micro-emulsion formula contains 12% surfactant, 8% co-surfactant, 70% 1 g x mL(-1) water decoction and 8% oil. The results of the preliminary stability experiment showed a better stability of Zhitong micro-emulsion.

The present study was aimed to evaluate the MDR reversal activity of bromotetrandrine (BrTet) in vitro and in vivo. The inhibitory effects of adriamycin (ADM) used alone or in combination with BrTet or Tet on the proliferation of K562 and K562/A02 cells were evaluated by MTT assay. The ADM accumulation and the protein levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) were detected by flow cytometry. The mRNA levels of P-gp were determined by RT-PCR. The in vivo effect of BrTet and Tet was investigated by using nude mice grafted with sensitive human leukemia cell line K562 and MDR cell line K562/A02. The results showed that BrTet at 0.25, 0.5 and 1 micromol/L reversed the resistance to ADM in MDR K562/A02 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometry suggested that BrTet significantly increased the intracellular accumulation of ADM in K562/A02 cells in a dose-dependent manner. BrTet also inhibited the overexpression of P-gp in K562/A02 cells, and down-regulated mdr1 expression. In nude mice bearing K562 xenografts on the left flank and K562/A02 xenografts on the right flank, intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg/kg BrTet significantly enhanced the antitumor activity of ADM against K562/A02 xenografts with inhibitory rates of 26.1%, while ADM alone inhibited the growth of K562/A02 xenografts only by 5.8%. No enhancement effect by BrTet was seen in K562 xenografts. It is concluded that BrTet shows significant MDR reversal activity in vitro and in vivo. Its activity may be related to the inhibition of P-gp overexpression and the increase intracellular accumulation of anticancer drugs. BrTet may be a promising-MDR modulator for eventual assessment in the clinic.

To prepare Fe(3)O(4)-magnetic nanoparticles loaded with adriamycin and investigate the reversal role of drug-loaded nanoparticles in K562 and resistant cell line K562/A02, the drug-loaded nanoparticles were prepared by using mechanical absorption polymerization at different conditions of 4 degrees C or 37 degrees C for 24 or 48 hours. The survival of cells cultured with drug-loaded nanoparticles for 48 hours was detected by MTT assay, then the growth inhibition efficacy of cells was calculated. The results showed that the growth inhibition efficacy of both two cell lines was enhanced with increasing concentration of Fe(3)O(4)-magnetic nanoparticles. The inhibitory ratio of two cell lines obtained at 4 degrees C and for 48 hours was significantly better than that at 37 degrees C and 24 hours. In conclusion, Fe(3)O(4)-magnetic nanoparticles can load adriamycin by using mechanical absorption polymerization, but depended on proper temperature and time. Furthermore, drug-loaded nanoparticles showed an ability reversing multidrug resistance.
