Reoperation rates and risk factors for revision 4 years after dynamic stabilization of the lumbar spine

Background Context

The concept of dynamic stabilization (DS) of the lumbar spine for treatment of degenerative instability has been introduced almost two decades ago. Dynamic stabilization follows the principle of controlling movement in the coronal plane by providing load transfer of the spinal segment without fusion and, at the same time, reducing side effects such as adjacent segment disease (ASD). So far, only little is known about revision rates after DS due to ASD and screw loosening (SL).

Age-related variations in gene expression patterns of renal cell carcinoma

Background

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is known to occur across the adult lifetime traversing the spectrum of age-related organismal changes. Little is known as to how the aging process may affect the course of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the repertoire of genes involved.

Clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics of tamoxifen and endoxifen

Introduction: Tamoxifen dominates the anti-estrogenic therapy in the early and metastatic breast cancer setting. Tamoxifen has a complex metabolism, being mainly metabolized by CYP2D6 into its 30–100 times more potent metabolite, endoxifen. Recently, a phase I study in which endoxifen as an orally z-endoxifen hydrochloride has been successfully evaluated.

Areas covered: the principal pharmacogenetic and non-genetic differences in the pharmacology of tamoxifen and endoxifen are evaluated. To this end, references from PubMed, Embase or Web of Science, among others, were reviewed As non-genetic factors, important differences and similarities such age, or adherence to tamoxifen therapy are comprehensively illustrated. Additionally, since CYP2D6 genotypes are considered the main limitation of tamoxifen, many studies have investigated the association between the worsened clinical outcomes in patients with non-functional CYP2D6 genotypes. In this review, an overview of the research on this field is presented. Also, a summary describing the literature about individualizing tamoxifen therapy with endoxifen concentrations and its limitations is listed.

Expert opinion: z-endoxifen hydrochloride is only investigated in the metastatic setting, still more research is required before its place in therapeutics is known. Similarly, monitoring tamoxifen efficacy based on endoxifen concentrations might not be overall recommended due to the limited evidence available.     

米索前列醇联合依沙吖啶在中晚期妊娠引产中的临床应用

目的 探讨米索前列醇联合依沙吖啶在中晚期妊娠引产中的应用效果。方法 选取西安交通大学附属3201医院2012年1月—2017年12月收治的138例中晚期妊娠引产患者，按引产方式分为对照组、观察组，各69例。对照组使用乳酸依沙吖啶注射液进行引产，观察组在对照组的基础上联合使用米索前列醇进行引产。比较两组引产效果、胎儿娩出时间、阴道出血量及不良反应的发生情况。结果 观察组引产有效率是100%，显著高于对照组的91.75%（P<0.05）。观察组胎儿娩出时间<35 h的人数占比显著高于对照组（P<0.05）。观察组患者阴道出血量显著低于对照组（P<0.05），两组不良反应的发生率间差异不显著。结论 米索前列醇联合依沙吖啶在中晚期妊娠引产中的效果较好，可显著提高引产有效率、缩短胎儿娩出时间，值得临床应用。     

UPLC-MS/MS测定73例患者血中头孢哌酮与舒巴坦的浓度

目的：建立液相色谱-串联质谱法（UPLC-MS/MS）同时测定人血浆中头孢哌酮与舒巴坦的浓度，分析头孢哌酮/舒巴坦血药浓度监测结果，为临床合理用药提供参考。方法：以氯唑沙宗为内标，采用Waters BEHC₁₈柱（2.1 mm×100 mm，1.7 μm）进行分离，通过串联质谱仪，负离子检测模式下，以多反应监测（MRM）方式进行定量测定。对某院2018年以不同给药方案进行治疗的73例住院患者测定的头孢哌酮/舒巴坦血药浓度结果进行分析。结果：头孢哌酮与舒巴坦在测定条件下1~200 mg·L^-1范围内线性关系良好，两者日内精密度RSD均<10%，基质效应分别为（72.77±0.99）%与（75.72±0.11）%，提取回收率均>90%。73例患者共监测血药浓度96次，其中不同给药方案2 g，q8 h（43例次）；2 g，q12 h（26例次）；2 g，q6 h（27例次），各组头孢哌酮血药浓度的中位数分别为34.12 mg·L^-1（4.12~177.79 mg·L^-1）、31.23 mg·L^-1（1.89~251.8 mg·L^-1）、59.96 mg·L^-1（1.77~140.58 mg·L^-1），舒巴坦血药浓度的中位数分别为6.3 mg·L^-1（0.61~136.01 mg·L^-1）、28.83 mg·L^-1（0.5~133.69 mg·L^-1）、11.17 mg·L^-1（0.73~143.53 mg·L^-1）。Mann-Whitney U检验显示，头孢哌酮血药浓度结果无统计学差异（P>0.05），舒巴坦有统计学差异（P<0.05）。结论：本检测方法操作简便、快速、重复性好，可满足临床头孢哌酮与舒巴坦浓度的检测；头孢哌酮/舒巴坦在不同给药方案下血药浓度结果与个体差异相关，有必要开展血药浓度监测并依据结果适时调整用药方案，提高治疗效果减少耐药率的发生。     

2015—2017年解放军总医院抗震颤麻痹药物的使用情况分析

目的 了解解放军总医院抗震颤麻痹药物的应用情况与用药趋势。方法 采用世界卫生组织（WHO）推荐的以限定日剂量（DDD）为指标的分析方法，对2015-2017年解放军总医院抗震颤麻痹药物的销售金额、用药频度（DDDs）、日均费用（DDC）及排序比（B/A）等进行统计分析。结果 普拉克索、多巴丝肼和恩他卡朋的用药金额始终处于前3位，普拉克索的用药金额逐渐上升，卡比多巴/左旋多巴的用药金额逐渐下降；DDDs排序列前2位的是多巴丝肼和司来吉兰，多巴丝肼的DDDs逐年上升，一直处于第1位；2015-2016年各种抗震颤麻痹药物的DDC较为稳定，2016-2017年各种抗震颤麻痹药物的DDC开始略有下降；除普拉克索和恩他卡朋的B/A始终小于1.00，其他抗震颤麻痹药物的B/A均在1.00以上波动。结论 解放军总医院抗震颤麻痹药物的使用较为合理，其中多巴丝肼、普拉克索和司来吉兰具有很好的市场前景。
