Objective: To examine the feasibility and technical considerations of thorough debridement using uniportal thoracoscopic surgery for tuberculous empyema complicated by chest wall tuberculosis. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 38 patients who underwent comprehensive uniportal thoracoscopy debridement for empyema complicated by chest wall tuberculosis in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, from March 2019 to August 2021. There were 23 males and 15 females, aged (M(IQR)) 30 (25) years (range: 18 to 78 years). The patients were cleared of chest wall tuberculosis under general anesthesia and underwent an incision through the intercostal sinus, followed by the whole fiberboard decortication method. Chest tube drainage was used for pleural cavity disease and negative pressure drainage for chest wall tuberculosis with SB tube, and without muscle flap filling and pressure bandaging. If there was no air leakage, the chest tube was removed first, followed by the removal of the SB tube after 2 to 7 days if there was no obvious residual cavity on the CT scan. The patients were followed up in outpatient clinics and by telephone until October 2022. Results: The operation time was 2.0 (1.5) h (range: 1 to 5 h), and blood loss during the operation was 100 (175) ml (range: 100 to 1 200 ml). The most common postoperative complication was prolonged air leak, with an incidence rate of 81.6% (31/38). The postoperative drainage time of the chest tube was 14 (12) days (range: 2 to 31 days) and the postoperative drainage time of the SB tube was 21 (14) days (range: 4 to 40 days). The follow-up time was 25 (11) months (range: 13 to 42 months). All patients had primary healing of their incisions and there was no tuberculosis recurrence during the follow-up period. Conclusion: Uniportal thoracoscopic thorough debridement combined with postoperative standardized antituberculosis treatment is safe and feasible for the treatment of tuberculous empyema with chest wall tuberculosis, which could achieve a good long-term recovery effect.

Mechanism of compound kushen injection in the treatment of lung cancer based on serum metabolomics and network pharmacology / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

AIM: To explore the mechanism of action of alkaloid components of compound kushen Injection (CKI) in the treatment of lung cancer based on serum metabolomics, network pharmacology, and molecular docking techniques. METHODS: A lung cancer model was established in C57 mice by inoculation of Lewis mouse lung cancer tumor strain. Thirty male mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group and CKI group. The drug was administered by tail vein injection once daily for 17 consecutive days. Mouse serum was examined by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) metabolomics, and several multivariate statistical analyses including principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), combined with databases such as the human metabolic database (HMDB) and related literature to identify and identify differential metabolites, the relevant metabolic pathways were searched for by the metaboanalyst online tool. Using network pharmacology, construct the“component-target-disease”network of CKI in the treatment of lung cancer. Molecular docking method was used to verify the interaction between potential active ingredients and core targets. Serum metabolomics was jointly analyzed with network pharmacology to construct a“metabolite-germinal-enzyme-gene” network. RESULTS: Through metabolomics technology, 16 differential metabolites associated with lung cancer were screened from serum, and CKI addback these differential metabolite levels compared with the model group. Metabolic pathways mainly involve retinol metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism and other metabolic pathways. Network pharmacology analysis indicated that CKI treatment of lung cancer mainly targets STAT3, MAPK3, and MAPK1, which are closely related to proteoglycans, cellular senescence, and HIF − 1 signaling pathways in cancer. CONCLUSION: This article explains the mechanism of CKI in treating lung cancer from the perspective of metabonomics and network pharmacology, and provides basis for further study of CKI.

Spray pattern and plume geometry measurement method of nasal spray and its correlation with nasal deposition / 药学学报

Nasal spray can treat local diseases such as rhinitis, it also plays an important role in the treatment of systemic diseases including vaccine immunity. As a drug-device combination product, spray pattern is often used as the quality indicator of nasal spray to ensure its quality, plume geometry can not only be combined with the spray pattern to evaluate the performance of the nasal spray, but also can predict the deposition of the nasal spray in the nasal cavity. This article systematically reviews the definition and measurement methods of the spray pattern and plume geometry of nasal spray and their correlation with nasal deposition behavior. The measurement parameters of spray pattern and plume geometry are defined. The influence of formulation, device and trigger parameters on spray pattern and plume geometry is clarified. The correlation between various parameters and nasal deposition is analyzed. The measurement parameters are classified according to the size and shape of the spray. Plume angle is closely related to the deposition of drugs in the nasal cavity. Jet-like plume with a smaller plume angle can increase the navigation ability of the nasal spray in the curved anatomical structure of the nasal cavity, which is conducive to increase drug deposition. This makes it possible to increase deposition of the nasal spray in the nasal cavity via appropriately increasing viscosity and thixotropy of the nasal spray formulation. This review provides the theoretical basis for the high quality nasal spray product development.

Withaferin A protecting against high fat diet induced obesity by inducing white adipose tissue browning / 解剖学报

[ Abstract] Objective To investigate the protective effect of withaferin A (WA) against high fat diet induced obesity and its associated mechanism. Methods C57BL / 6 J mice at 8-week of age were divided into two groups. The mice were fed with high fat diet (HFD) and were given an intraperitoneal injection of WA or DMSO (solvent control) . The body weight and food intake of the mice were monitored. One week later, inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT), interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT), epididymal white adipose tissue (eWAT) and retroperitoneal white adipose tissue (rWAT) were collected and weighed. Expression levels of the genes associated with white adipose browning were detected in iWAT. HE staining was applied to observe the morphological changes of iWAT. Results The data showed that body weight and fat weight in WA group were significantly lower than those in the control group, and the food intake was not changed significantly. Real-time PCR analysis showed that the expression level of browning related genes in iWAT of the WA group was significantly increased. The result from Western blotting analysis showed that the protein levels of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha (PGC1α) increased significantly in iWAT of the WA group. The typical morphological change of adipose browning, such as the multilocular adipocytes was observed in inguinal white adipose tissue of the mice treated with WA by using HE staining and mmunofluorescence assay. Conclusion Taken together, these observations indicate that withaferin A can protect the mice from high fat diet induced obesity by promoting white adipose tissue browning.

Preparation and characterization of drug-loaded polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticles with tunable surface hydrophobicity / 药学学报

The surface hydrophobicity of nanoparticles plays an important role in drug delivery process. The aim of this study was to verify the feasibility of using self-assembly method to prepare drug-loaded nanoparticles with tunable surface hydrophobicity. Here, Soluplus was selected as the polymeric carrier to prepare panobinostat (PNB) loaded micelles. Three different monoglycerides, glycerly monooleate (GMO), glycerly linoleate (GML) and glycerly linolenate (GMLO), were used to modify the surface of PNB-Soluplus micelles to prepare polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (PLHNs). The effect of monoglyceride type and amount on the physico-chemical properties of PNB-loaded PLHNs was investigated, and the surface hydrophobicity of PLHNs was characterized by Rose Bengal (RB) binding method and mucin particle method. The results suggested that compared with the PNB-Soluplus micelles (particle size 77.97 ± 0.78 nm, zeta potential 0.44 ± 0.29 mV, entrapment efficiency 99.45% ± 1.47%, the RB binding constant (K) value 0.008 ± 0.002, the increased particle size after mixing with mucin particles 7.90 ± 1.41 nm), surface hydrophobicity of the PLHNs increased significantly when modified by GMO, GML, GMLO, with K values of 0.055 ± 0.010, 0.050 ± 0.011 and 0.058 ± 0.008, respectively. The increased particle sizes after mixing with mucin particles were 17.37 ± 4.48 nm, 22.60 ± 2.10 nm and 25.13 ± 3.89 nm, respectively. Among them, the physico-chemical properties of the GMLO modified PNB-loaded PLHNs (particle size 81.60 ± 4.52 nm, zeta potential 0.77 ± 0.03 mV, entrapment efficiency 99.59% ± 0.20%) kept constant, thus GMLO was selected to further investigate the effect of GMLO mass ratio (1%-3%) to Soluplus on the properties of the nanoparticles. While no statistical significant difference in particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency or in vitro release behavior was found when GMLO ratio increased, the surface lipophilicity of the PLHNs, as characterized by K values and the increased particle sizes after mixing with mucin particles, increased almost linearly with the increase of GMLO amount. In conclusion, we demonstrated that drug-loaded PLHNs based on Soluplus and GMLO can be prepared by self-assembly method, and the surface hydrophobicity was tunable by modifying the mass ratio of GMLO to Soluplus. This approach could be used for related basic science research aiming to elucidate the effect of surface hydrophobicity on in vivo behavior of drug-loaded system.

Role of different phenotype tumor-associated macrophages in tumor progression / 中国肿瘤临床

Innate immune cells are highly represented in the tumor microenvironment,and among the most abundant of these are macrophages.However,macrophages are broadly categorized as"classically activated"pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages and"alter-natively activated"anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages,which might be too simplified to describe the various phenotypes and func-tions of tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs).Most TAMs are now reclassified into CD68+TAM,CD163+TAM,CD204+TAM,CD169+TAM,and CCL18+TAM,among others,according to the different expression of surface proteins.These surface proteins have different types of ligands and regulate different signaling pathways and cytokines.Therefore,even if these subtypes of TAMs have similar ef-fects of promoting or inhibiting tumors,the mechanisms involved and the induced clinical manifestations are different.In this paper, the effects of various phenotypes of TAMs on tumor growth,metastasis,prognosis,and clinical relevance are reviewed.

Modification of in situ perfusion in study of nasal absorption of insulin / 药学学报

The objective of this study is to develop an in vitro screening method for nasal absorption of insulin. First, the adaptability of in situ rat nasal perfusion test for the study of insulin was investigated. It was found that insulin was liable to be absorbed on the silicone tube and the traditional method is not suitable. However, addition of 0.001% Labrasol into the perfusate can effectively solve this problem. A modified method suitable for in situ rat nasal perfusion of insulin was established with the addition of 0.001% Labrasol into the perfusate. Using the modified method, effect of pH and drug concentration on the absorption of insulin in the nasal cavity was further investigated. The results suggest that compared with pH 4.5 and pH 7.4, the drug absorption rate was the lowest at pH 6.0. The intranasal absorption mechanism of insulin may be passive diffusion.

Prognostic analysis of colorectal liver metastases treated by surgery combined with intraoperative radiofrequency ablation / 中华外科杂志

Objective@#To investigate the clinical value of intraoperative radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of colorectal liver metastasis (CLM).@*Methods@#A retrospectively analysis of 187 patients with CLM who underwent liver resection with or without RFA from January 2009 to August 2016 in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences was performed. According to whether RFA was used intraoperatively, patients were divided into resection only group and combined treatment group. The clinical and pathological characteristics of the two groups were compared to explore factors influencing survival and recurrence. Imbalance of background characteristics between the two groups was further overcome by propensity score matching method (PSM).@*Results@#The number of liver metastases (267), simultaneous liver metastases (100%), bilobar involvement (73.3%) and preoperative chemotherapy (93.3%) rates were significantly higher in the combined treatment group than those in the resection only group(471, 74.7%, 42.0% and 63.1%)(all P<0.05). In the combined treatment group, median overall survival (OS) was 25.7 months; and 3-year and 5-year OS were 47.9% and 28.8%, respectively. In the resection only group, the median survival time was 46.9 months; and 3-year and 5-year OS rate was 59.1% and 42.4%, respectively (χ2=4.579, P=0.034). Median disease-free survival (DFS) was 5.4 months in the combined treatment group, and 10.1 months in the resection only group (χ2=5.399, P=0.023). In multivariate analysis, intraoperative RFA was not an independent prognostic factor for OS and DFS (HR=0.98, 95%CI: 0.47-2.08, P=0.965; HR=1.21, 95%CI: 0.71-2.07, P=0.465). After PSM, the median OS of the resection only and the combined treatment groups were 30.2 and 25.7 months (χ2=0.876, P=0.350). The median DFS in the two groups was 5.3 and 4.2 months, respectively (χ2=0.199, P=0.650).@*Conclusion@#In patients with similar tumor burden, liver resection combined with intraoperative RFA for unresectable CLM can achieve long-term outcomes similar to hepatectomy alone for resectable CLM.

Methods:The HPLC method was conducted on a Phenomenex Gemini C18 column ( 250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm ). The mobile phase was 1％ acetic acid-methanol(40 :60). The flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 and the de-tection wavelength was 254 nm with the injection volume of 20 μl and the column temperature of 25℃. Results:Methylparaben, eth-ylparaben and propylparaben showed good linear relationship (r>0. 999)within the range of 1. 00-19. 94μg·ml-1,2. 01-20. 08μg· ml-1 and 0. 21-10. 46 μg·ml-1,respectively. The average recoveries were 99. 20％-99. 90％, and the RSDs were 1. 34％-1. 54％(n=9). Conclusion:The method is accurate, reproducible and stable without interference, which can be used for the determination of three bacteriostatic agents in taurine eye drops.

Prognostic analysis of 313 aged pancreatic cancer patients in hospital treatment between Uygur and Han nationality in Xinjiang area / 实用肿瘤学杂志

Objective To investigate the prognostic factors of survival time of the Uygur and Han nation-ality elderly patients( over 60 years) with pancreatic cancer in Xinjiang.Methods We carried on a retrospective study of 313 aged patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 1st,2003 to May 30th,2015.We used Kpalan-Meier method for calculation of survival, used Log-rank method for those factors which could affect the prognosis of patients,at last we used Cox propor-tional risk model for those multiple factors which match the role.Results Three hundred and thirteen cases with pancreatic cancer had a median survival of 157 days,and survival rates of half a year,1 and 2 year were 34.8%, 18.5%,7.0%.There was a statistic difference between Uygur patients′and Han patients′survival time(P<0.05).Single factor analysis showed the nationality,tumor size,surgery,ZPS(ECOG),Clinical stage(TNM), chemotherapy and radiotherapy,carcino-embryonic antigen(CEA)level and cancer antigen 199(CA199)level before treatment with outcome(P<0.05).Multiple factor analysis showed that the clinical stage,surgery(P<0.05)can be regarded as independent prognostic decision factors.Conclusion The clinical staging,surgical treatment could be regarded as independent prognostic factors for the elderly prognosis of pancreatic cancer.Both of the Han and Uygur patients,earlier discovered and more appropriate surgery treatment are the key for the elder-ly patients with pancreatic cancer.
