RESUMO
Objective:To explore the protective effect of methyl eugenol (Me) on islet ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and elucidate its underlying mechanism.Methods:The islets were isolated and purified from 6-8 week male BALB/c mice and divided into four groups of normal control (normal culture without any treatment), hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R treatment), H/R+ dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO dosing plus H/R treatment) and H/R+ Me (Me dosing plus H/R). Viability of islet cells in each group was detected by acridine orange (AO)/propidium iodide (PI) double stain.Function of islet cells (insulin secretion) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Murine islet β Min6 cells were selected for detecting the effect of Me on the proliferative activity of normal cultured and H/R treated islet cells under different concentration gradients by CCK8.Then Min6 cells were divided into four groups of normal, H/R, H/R+ DMSO and H/R+ Me.The definition of group was the same as that of primary murine islets.Flow cytometry and Hoechst 33342 nuclear stain were utilized for detecting cell apoptotic rate in each group.The protein expressions of p-JNK, p-p38, JNK, p38, Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blot.And the data were processed by one-way ANOVA or t test.Results:The proportion of dead islet cells in H/R group was (29.47±2.65)% and it was significantly lower than that in normal group (7.63±1.53)%.And the inter-group differences were statistically significant ( P<0.001). The proportion of dead islet cells was (20.63±3.07)% in H/R+ Me group.It was higher than that in H/R group (29.47±2.65)% and in H/R+ DMSO group (30.13±1.50)% and inter-group difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05 & P<0.01). Under the stimulation of high glucose, the insulin secretion level of islet in H/R+ Me group was (1.76+ 0.08) mg/L, which was higher than that in H/R group and H/R+ DMSD group(1.24±0.14)mg/L and(1.27±0.05)mg/L, and the difference was statistically significant[(1.76±0.08) vs. (1.24±0.14) mg/L; (1.76±0.08) vs.(1.27±0.05) mg/L, P<0.01]. There was no significant effect on cell viability after Me dosing within a certain concentration range (0-40 μmol/L). After Me dosing (5 μmol/L), cell viability of H/R-treated Min6 cells was significantly higher than that without Me.And the difference was statistically significant[(1.19±0.03) vs.(1.00±0), P<0.01]. As compared with H/R and H/R+ DMSO groups, overall apoptotic rate declined in H/R+ Me group (Hoechst 33342 stain: 14.50%±1.05% vs. 23.30%±1.18%, 14.50%±1.05% vs. 22.77%±1.75%, P<0.001; Flow cytometry: 4.36%±0.54% vs. 21.44%±1.02%, 4.36%±0.54% vs. 21.68%±3.06%, P<0.01). The expressions of p-JNK and p-p38 were down-regulated (p-JNK: 0.77±0.06 vs. 1.03±0.05, 0.77±0.06 vs.0.93±0.04, P<0.001; p-p38: 0.80±0.05 vs. 1.01±0.08; 0.80±0.05 vs. 1.00±0.05, P<0.05) while Bcl-2/Bax ratio rose (1.62±0.13 vs. 0.72±0.10, 1.62±0.13 vs. 0.74±0.13, P<0.01). Conclusions:Me can improve the viability and function of islets and suppress the apoptosis of Min6 cells after H/R.The mechanism is correlated with JNK and p38 MAPK signaling pathways.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE： To investigate current status and quality of domestic pharmacoeconomic literatures， and to provide reference for the standardization of pharmacoeconomic research. METHODS： Retrieved from CNKI， Wanfang， VIP and other database， the pharmacoeconomic literatures published from Jan. 2017 to May 2018 were collected. The qualities of literatures were evaluated with Guidelines for Quality Evaluation of Pharmacoeconomics Evaluation Reports （“PEERs” for short）. RESULTS： Totally 160 domestic pharmacoeconomic research literatures were included. The results of PEERs evaluation showed of which the coincidence rate was 32.5％ （52/160）. The literatureswhich were in full compliance （the report had a certain reference value） accounted for 1.3％ （2/160）， which were in basic compliance （the report had certain reference value after being revised） accounted for 31.3％（50/160），which were in non-conformity （the report did not had reference value） accounted for 67.5％（108/160）. Domestic pharmacoeconomic researches were of high quality in terms of research object， evaluation method and content，research purpose， research design and design type， etc.； but the researches were of low quality in terms of research angle， incremental cost/incremental output analysis， sensitivity analysis and other aspects， and there was no explanation or unclear elaboration. CONCLUSIONS： The quality of domestic pharmacoeconomic research literatures are uneven， and their research quality needs to be further improved. It is recommended to standardize the evaluation of pharmacoeconomics， making the evaluation of pharmacoeconomics more scientific and objective.
RESUMO
Objective@#To discuss the application of three dimentional(3D)visualization technologies in treatment plan of hepatic malignant tumor.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 300 patients with liver malignant tumor who received treatment from January 2016 to January 2017 in the Third Department of Hepatic Surgery of Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital was retrospectively analyzed in this study, including 221 male and 79 female patients aged from 7 to 76 years with median age of 54 years. The median height was 168 cm (115-183 cm), the median weight was 65 kg (20-105 kg) and the median tumor volume was 142 ml (23-2 493 ml). Three-dimensional visualization technology was used in all patients to reconstruct liver three-dimensional graphics. Also, two and three-dimensional methods were taken respectively to evaluate patients and develop treatment strategy. The change of treatment strategy caused by 3D evaluation, actual surgical plan, operation time, time of hepatic vascular occlusion, intraoperative blood loss, volumes of blood transfusion and postoperative complications was observed.@*Results@#After three-dimensional visualization technology was applied, 75(25%) of 300 patients′ treatment strategies had been changed. The range of hepatectomy was extended in 25 patients. And 7 of them were due to hepatic venous variation, which resulted in increasing drainage area. In other 4 patients, liver resections were extended due to lack of perfusion of the liver parenchyma after the removal of portal vein. And hepatectomy was expanded in 14 patients in order to increase the surgical margin. The range of hepatectomy was reduced in 8 patients, 4 of which were due to hepatic venous variation, such as hepatic vein of segment 4 or lower right posterior hepatic vein. The remaining 4 cases were because of insufficient residual liver volume.The surgical resection was performed in 278 cases, 257 of which received operation directly. Left hepatectomy was performed in 24 patients and right hepatectomy was performed in 33 patients. Left trisectionectomy was carried out in 12 patients and right trisectionectomy was carried out in 11 patients. Caudate lobectomy was applied in 10 patients. There were 18 cases of left lateral sectionectomy, 7 cases of right anterior sectionectomy, 25 cases of right posterior sectionectomy and 18 cases of mesohepatectomy. Single or multi segment resection was performed in 99 patients. The treatment strategy of thirty-six patients was converted to staged hepatectomy (ALPPS 11 cases and portal vein embolization 25 cases). The median operation time was 130 minutes (90-360 minutes) and the median inflow blood occlusion time was 20 minutes (0-75 minutes). Median blood loss volume was 200 ml (20-1 600 ml). Thirty-seven of 278 patients received transfusions, and the average red blood transfusion volume was (4.4±1.7)units (0-8 units). Median hepatic resection volume was 530 ml(30-2 600 ml). There were 117 cases of pleural effusion after operation, including 3 patients needing invasive therapy. Ascites occurred in 23 patients, 6 of whom needed invasive therapy. Biliary leakage was observed in 30 patients. Eight patients occurred hepatic cutting surface hemorrhage, 6 of whom received blood transfusion, and 4 of whom underwent laparotomy to stop bleeding. Three patients had pulmonary infection after surgery and 3 patients appeared biliary obstruction. Deep vein thrombosis took place in 2 patients and portal vein thrombosis was observed in 4 patients. No postoperative liver failure and death ever happened in our study group.@*Conclusion@#Three-dimensional visualization technique can optimize the treatment strategy of patients with liver malignant tumor, improve surgical safety.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the distribution and molecular epidemiology of Candida strains isolated from vulvovaginal candidiasis in Shanghai,and conduct molecular phylogenetic analysis of the strains.Methods Candida pathogens were collected from the patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis during the period from August 2015 to February 2016 in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University,Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital,and Intemational Peace Matemity and Child Health Hospital.All the strains were identified and statistically analyzed.ATB FUNGUS 3 kit was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of antifungal agents against these strains in vitro.Molecular typing was conducted using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) method.Phylogenetic analysis was carried out by eBURST and MEGA 6 software.Results Of the 2 185 strains of Candida,1 988 were identified as Candida albicans,149 Candida glabrata,20 Candida tropicalis and 28 other Candida species.Overall,6.5％ of the Candida albicans strains were resistant to fluconazole.Twenty-six diploid sequence types (DSTs) were identified among the 93 strains of Candida albicans analyzed,including 50 fluconazole-susceptible strains with sporadic genotypes,but 43 fluconazole-resistant strains clustered as one clonal complex (CC 69) on the same branch (MLST Clade 1) of phylogenetic tree.Conclusions Candida albicans was the main pathogen of vulvovaginal candidiasis in the three obstetrics & gynecology hospitals in Shanghai,which showed slightly higher resistance to fluconazole.It is necessary to monitor the spread of fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans in these hospitals,especially clonal dissemination of CC 69 clone.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the molecular epidemiology of 114C. albicans strains isolated from the vaginal discharge of female patients treated in three obstetrics and gynecology hospitals in Shanghai by analyzing the relationship between the main genotypes and resistance proifle, and the relationship between genetic diversity and cluster ofC. albicans.Methods A total of 114 strains ofC. albicans were collected from the Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital Corporation and the International Peace Maternity & Child Health Hospital of China welfare institute. Phylogenetic analysis of strains were carried out by eBURST.C. albicans strains were also analyzed by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). The susceptibility of theC. albicans strains was tested by ATB FUNGUS 3.Results A total of 47 diploid strain types (DSTs) were identiifed from the 114 strains, 30 of which were known types. DST 79 and DST 435 were the main types. Of the 114C. albicans strains, 96.5% were susceptible to lfucytosine, 100% to amphotericin B, 85.1% to lfuconazole, 55.2% to itraconazole and 84.3% to voriconazole.Conclusions The pathogenicC. albicans strains isolated from different obstetrics and gynecology hospitals in Shanghai were originated from multiple clones, the main type of which was DST 79 and DST 435 with certain degree of antifungal resistance. MLST typing suggests that genetic diversity is present in theC. albicans strains isolated in Shanghai area. The clustering analysis ofC. albicans strains is consistent with its genotypes.
