表皮生长因子对人子宫颈癌细胞形态及噻唑蓝还原的影响

表皮生长因子(EGF)10μg/L作用于人子宫颈癌(Hela)细胞,24h、48h未见细胞数量改变,第5d时可观察到细胞由原来的呈椭圆形克隆样生长变为有树突样胞质突出的长梭状较均匀地分布生长:EGF作用下,Hela细胞噻唑蓝还原呈剂量依赖性增加.提示EGF不能促进Hela细胞增殖,但可引起细胞形态改变及线粒体脱氢酶活性增高,这可能与EGF促分化作用有关.

Long-term effects of eliglustat on skeletal manifestations in clinical trials of patients with Gaucher disease type 1

PurposeMost patients with Gaucher disease have progressive and often disabling skeletal manifestations. We examined the long-term effect of eliglustat treatment on bone outcomes in clinical trials in adults with Gaucher disease type 1.MethodsData from 4 completed phase 2 and 3 trials were evaluated in treatment-naïve patients or patients switching to eliglustat from enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).ResultsOverall, 319 of 393 (81%) eliglustat-treated patients remained in their trials until completion or commercial eliglustat became available. Mean eliglustat treatment duration ranged from 3.3 to 6.5 years. In treatment-naïve patients and ERT-switch patients, frequency and severity of bone pain decreased during eliglustat treatment. Mean lumbar spine T-scores shifted from abnormal to normal in treatment-naïve patients and remained in the healthy reference range or improved modestly in ERT-switch patients. Mean total bone marrow burden score shifted from marked-to-severe to moderate in treatment-naïve patients and remained moderate in ERT-switch patients. MIP-1β (marker of active bone disease) was elevated at baseline and decreased to the healthy reference range in treatment-naïve patients and remained in the healthy reference range among ERT-switch patients.ConclusionThese findings confirm the long-term efficacy of eliglustat on skeletal complications of Gaucher disease in treatment-naïve and ERT-switch patients.     

The role of law enforcement in minimizing the harm resulting from illicit drugs

Illicit drugs have become a major global problem in recent decades following considerable recent political change, including the collapse of communism and the formation of international super-states to increase trade. Despite increasing collaboration between law enforcement authorities in different countries, illicit drug problems appear likely to increase in the future because of the vast profits available, continuing (and increasing) demand and more permissive attitudes concerning drugs among young people. While rejecting legalization or decriminalization, the search for more effective responses by law enforcement authorities and the community generally must be stepped up. Police services continue to play an important role restricting the availability of illicit drugs but increasing emphasis needs to be given to reducing demand, including more available and more effective preventive drug education in schools. Police also need to work with harm reduction approaches devised to reduce the negative consequences of drug use for those who continue to use illicit drugs. New measures proposed in Britain are outlined. These stress the importance of a multi-sectoral approach operating at both national and local levels with the objective of reducing drug-related crime, reducing the acceptability and availability of illicit drugs and reducing the harmful consequences of illicit drug use. Harm reduction requires a commitment for close collaboration between police and drug treatment services to maximize the effectiveness of needle-exchange schemes and other harm reduction approaches. Cautioning, now commonly used in Britain for selected minor drug offences, has a number of benefits including reducing criminal justice costs. Greater emphasis must be placed on diversion schemes involving close links between police and drug treatment services. Future progress requires firm commitments to providing adequate and effective drug treatment services, conducting research to develop and evaluate more effective diversion schemes, improving collaboration between sectors and effective leadership. In addition to the major costs of illicit drug use to the community, the huge cost to individuals must remain a major focus driving the search for more effective responses to the problems resulting from illicit drugs.     

Harm reduction in the developing world

This paper examines harm reduction from the perspective of poor countries. In considering which elements of the broad approach are suitable for adaptation and adoption by poor countries, there is a need to examine critically the arguments put forth in support of it and which, if any, of these are supported by evidence. There are also significant indirect influences that the approach is likely to have on how drug use is understood and interpreted by wider society. The likely impact of these on areas other than simply services directed to drug users needs to be assessed. There are some features regarding harm caused by alcohol and other drug use that are specific to poor countries. Most important among these is that levels of use which are not deemed to be harmful in rich societies cause grave harm through diverting meagre resources away from survival needs in the poor world. Alcohol, as well as other drugs, tends in deprived settings to cause dependence and other problems much earlier in people's drinking careers and at much lower levels of consumption than in rich countries.     

Defining harm reduction

Harm reduction attempts to reduce the adverse consequences of drug use among persons who continue to use drugs. It developed in response to the excesses of a “zero tolerance approach”. Harm reduction emphasizes practical rather than idealized goals. It has been expanded from illicit drugs to legal drugs and is grounded in the evolving public health and advocacy movements. Harm reduction has proved to be effective and it has gained increasing official acceptance; for example, it is now the basis of Canada's Drug Strategy. However, the concept is still poorly defined, as virtually any drug policy or programme, even abstinence-oriented programmes, attempt to reduce drug-related harm. The principle feature of harm reduction is the acceptance of the fact that some drug users cannot be expected to cease their drug use at the present time. Harm reduction is neutral about the long term goals of intervention while according a high priority to short-term realizable goals. Harm reduction should be neutral about legalization. The essence of the concept is to ameliorate adverse consequences of drug use while, at least in the short term, drug use continues.     

Harnessing harm reduction in Australia: an interview with the Hon. Neal Blewett. Interview by Steve Allsop

The National Campaign Against Drug Abuse (NCADA) was established in April 1985. Aiming to provide a national framework to minimize the harmful consequences of drug use, the original 3-year programme was extended to 1997. A key figure in the NCADA, Dr Neal Blewett, was interviewed to gain his perspective on the development and implementation of the Campaign over its first 10 years.
