N-亚硝胺类基因毒性杂质的研究进展

自“缬沙坦事件”之后，N-亚硝胺类基因毒性杂质引起了业界的广泛关注。本文概述了药物中N-亚硝胺类基因毒性杂质和相关检测方法的研究进展，以及近20年来国内外有关药物中基因毒性杂质监管指南的完善历程。N-亚硝胺类基因毒性杂质作为一类高反应活性的基因毒性杂质，主要来源于药物合成过程中发生的副反应，以及药物在储存或者运输过程中发生的氧化或还原等反应。所有的动物实验表明，N-亚硝胺类具有很强的致癌性。在理论上，所有药物都存在N-亚硝胺类杂质或被N-亚硝胺类杂质污染的风险，由于该类化合物在药物中常以痕量形式存在，在分析检测过程中药物基质干扰大，因此建立便捷、高效的分析方法是非常有必要的。     

高压氧综合治疗糖尿病性胃轻瘫患者的疗效观察

目的观察高压氧（HBO）联合吗丁啉综合治疗对糖尿病性胃轻瘫患者胃动素及胃排空时间的影响。方法采用随机数字表法将2000年10月至2004年10月间连续人院的糖尿病性胃轻瘫患者112例随机分为高压氧组和对照组各46例，HBO组在给予吗丁啉（每次10mg，每天3次，连用4周）的基础上加用HBO治疗，HBO采用多人氧舱，在舱内停留120min，压力为0．25MPa（2．5ATA），戴面罩吸人纯氧60min（30min各2次，中间休息10min吸人舱内空气），10次为1个疗程，共3个疗程，每疗程间隔3～5d（排除HBO治疗禁忌证）。对照组为单纯吗丁啉，每次10mg，每天3次，连用4周。45d分别对两组患者治疗前后胃动素、空腹血糖、胃排空时间及症状的改善各项指标进行研究对比。结果HBO组和对照组总有效率分别为92．9％和76．8％，症状的改善、胃动素及胃排空时间治疗组均优于对照组，差异有显著性（P〈0．05）。结论糖尿病性胃轻瘫患者在服用吗丁啉的基础上应用HBO可降低胃动素、加速胃排空时间，对临床症状的改善具有积极作用。     

心脏机械膜瓣置换术后血浆蛋白C和蛋白S活性变化及其与INR的关系

目的:探讨机械瓣膜置换术后口服华法令抗凝的患者血浆蛋白C(PC)、蛋白S(PS)活性改变的意义及其与国际标准IL比值(INR)的关系。方法:动态监测15例心脏机械瓣膜置换术后口服抗凝药初期患者服药1-2 d、3~10 d及1个月的PC、PS活性及INR值。结果:患者组PC、PS活性低于正常对照组(P<0.05),特别是术后3-10 d PC、PS活性明显低于正常对照组(P<0.01),已下降到正常的50％左右,而此时INR尚未达到治疗范围,提示口服抗凝药治疗初期在人体凝血功能未下调时,抗凝系统功能已经开始下降,有发生血栓的倾向;并且,随着抗凝强度的增高(INR低于1.5-高于2.5),PC、PS活性明显下降。结论:口服华法令抗凝患者在监测INR的同时,需要进行血浆PC、PS活性监测,以更好地预防血栓的发生。

Clinical evaluation of a potassium nitrate dentifrice for the treatment of dentinal hypersensitivity

Abstract The effectiveness of a 5% potassium nitrate dentifrice as a daily home treatment for dentinal hypersensitivity was evaluated in a double-blind study in 36 Japanese subjects who complained of cold and/or tactile hypersensitivity. The subjects were divided into 2 groups, with 18 being given a 5% potassium nitrate dentifrice (treated group) and the other 18 a vehicle paste (control group). Both groups were instructed to brush their teeth 2 × a day. The hypersensitivity levels of the affected teeth were assessed by 2 stimuli, one tactile and the other cold air, and by the perception of pain. The results of all 3 assessment methods indicated that the potassium nitrate dentifrice significantly decreased the level of hypersensitivity at weeks 4, 8, and 12. In the treated group, a rapid decrease of positive scores for both the cold air stimulus and the subjective symptoms appeared from week 2. Although a significant decrease of the assessment score was also observed in the control group, the reduction rate of the score was much greater in the treated group by ail 3 assessment methods at weeks 4, 8, and 12. Complete relief of subjective symptoms throughout the 12 weeks’examination was noted in 67% of the subjects in the treated group, but in only 6% in the control group. These results suggest the usefulness of a 5% potassium nitrate dentifrice in Japanese patients with dentinal hypersensitivity.     

Changes in thrombomodulin level in plasma of endotoxin-infused rabbits.

Changes in the plasma thrombomodulin (TM) level were examined in endotoxin-infused rabbits. The plasma TM level in normal rabbits was 143.8 +/- 8.4 ng/ml (n = 67) and the molecular weight of the major TM was about 55 kd. Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS, E. Coli B8:0127) was intravenously infused. LPS infusion increased the plasma TM level dose-dependently between 0.2 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg. When 5 mg/kg LPS was infused, the plasma TM level started to increase immediately and was 2.3 times higher than the control value within 1 hr. The molecular weight of the major TM was about 75 kd. This rapid increase in TM occurred before the decrease in fibrinogen content and the prolongation of prothrombin time. To examine the effect of circulating leukocytes on the TM increase in endotoxin-infused rabbits, 5 mg/kg LPS was infused into rabbits with leukocytopenia induced by X-ray irradiation. The maximum plasma level of TM was significantly lower than in the untreated rabbits given LPS. These data suggest that the increase in plasma TM is caused by LPS-stimulated leukocyte's prior to hemostaseological changes. It is well known that endothelial cells can be injured by stimulated leukocytes, so this increase in plasma TM probably reflects the deterioration of endothelial cells. This deterioration decreases the ability of endothelial cells to inhibit thrombosis, which would, in turn, contribute to the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation in endotoxin-infused rabbits.     

基于太赫兹时域光谱技术的名贵动物药材龟甲的真伪品鉴别

目的： 建立一种利用太赫兹时域光谱和多种化学计量学方法鉴别龟甲真伪的新方法。方法： 选用正品乌龟和伪品红耳彩龟的腹甲进行实验,先用经典的性状鉴别、显微鉴别方法比较两种样品的典型性状特征,后利用太赫兹时域光谱仪测得样品的光谱信息,对样品谱图进行平滑处理和基线校准,并运用化学计量方法进行数据分析以区分正品和伪品龟甲。结果： 性状鉴别结果显示完整正、伪品龟甲样品仅有细微差异,且其碎片或粉末基本无差异;显微鉴别未在两种样品中发现明显的特征差异性结构;两种样品的太赫兹时域光谱曲线图经快速傅里叶变换滤波器平滑滤波处理、正交偏最小二乘法判别分析处理后呈现显著差异。结论： 利用太赫兹时域光谱技术结合正交偏最小二乘法判别分析可以实现龟甲真伪品的精准鉴别。
