Suckling in litters with different sizes,and early and late swimming exercise differentially modulates anxiety-like behavior,memory and electrocorticogram potentiation after spreading depression in rats

Objective: Analyze the hypothesis that swimming exercise, in rats suckled under distinct litter sizes, alters behavioral parameters suggestive of anxiety and recognition memory, and the electrocorticogram potentiation that occurs after the excitability-related phenomenon that is known as cortical spreading depression (CSD).

Methods: Male Wistar rats were suckled in litters with six or 12 pups (L₆ and L₁₂ groups). Animals swam at postnatal days (P) 8–23, or P60–P75 (early-exercised or late-exercised groups, respectively), or remained no-exercised. Behavioral tests (open field – OF and object recognition – OR) were conducted between P77 and P80. Between P90 and P120, ECoG was recorded for 2 hours. After this ‘baseline’ recording, CSD was elicited every 30 minutes over the course of 2 hours.

Results: Early swimming enhanced the number of entries and the percentage of time in the OF-center (P?<?0.05). In animals that swam later, this effect occurred in the L6 group only. Compared to the corresponding sedentary groups, OR-test showed a better memory in the L6 early exercised rats, and a worse memory in all other groups (P?<?0.05). In comparison to baseline values, ECoG amplitudes after CSD increased 14–43% for all groups (P?<?0.05). In the L₆ condition, early swimming and late swimming, respectively, reduced and enhanced the magnitude of the post-CSD ECoG potentiation in comparison with the corresponding L₆ no-exercised groups (P?<?0.05).

Discussion: Our data suggest a differential effect of early- and late-exercise on the behavioral and electrophysiological parameters, suggesting an interaction between the age of exercise and the nutritional status during lactation.     

Prediction of human pharmacokinetics of typical compounds by a physiologically based method using chimeric mice with humanized liver

1. In this study, total body clearance (CL_t), volume of distribution at steady state (V_ss) and plasma concentration–time profiles in humans of model compounds were predicted using chimeric mice with humanized livers.

2. On the basis of assumption that unbound intrinsic clearance (CL_Uint) per liver weight in chimeric mice was equal to those in humans, CL_t were predicted by substituting human liver blood flow and liver weights in well-stirred model. V_ss were predicted by Rodgers equation using scaling factors of tissue-plasma concentration ratios (SF_Kp) in chimeric mice estimated from a difference between the observed and predicted V_ss. These physiological approaches showed high prediction accuracy for CL_t and V_ss values in humans.

3. We compared the predictability of CL_t and V_ss determined by the physiologically based predictive approach using chimeric mice with those from predictive methods reported by Pharmaceutical Research Manufacturers of America. The physiological approach using chimeric mice indicated the best prediction accuracy in each predictive method.

4. Simulation of human plasma concentration–time profiles were generally successful with physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model incorporating CL_Uint and SF_Kp obtained from chimeric mice.

5. Combined application of chimeric mice and PBPK modeling is effective for prediction of human PK in various compounds.

     

营养途径对食管癌围术期患者营养状况的影响

目的探讨肠内营养与肠外营养对食管癌围术期患者的营养状况和并发症的影响。方法回顾性分析淮安市第二人民医院2017年1月至2018年6月食管癌手术治疗患者73例，根据营养干预途径不同分为全肠外营养组（TPN）23例和全肠内营养组（TEN）50例。TPN组给予静脉营养治疗，TEN组给予经鼻饲管（经鼻至空肠起始位置）肠内营养治疗。比较两组患者营养指标和免疫指标、术后肠道功能和安全性指标。结果两组患者就诊前后体重丢失、入院时血清白蛋白、淋巴细胞数组间比较，差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。TPN组血清白蛋白和淋巴细胞数不同时间点整体比较，差异均具有统计学意义（P<0.05）。TEN组淋巴细胞数不同时间点整体比较，差异均具有统计学意义（P<0.05）。两组手术后组间比较，TEN组体重丢失幅度小于TPN组；TEN组术后72h、术后120h血清白蛋白均短于TPN组，TEN组术后120h淋巴细胞数高于TPN组；TEN组肛门排气时间和肠鸣音恢复时间均低于TPN组，差异均具有统计学意义（P<0.05）。两组不良反应和不良事件比较，差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。结论对食管癌围术期患者而言，肠内营养的疗效总体优于肠外营养，且安全性无明显差异。     

肝胆胰外科围手术期营养支持的规范应用

围手术期营养支持理念近年来逐渐被外科医师重视,临床营养治疗也趋于系统化和规范化。研究表明,合理规范的营养支持可以降低患者营养不良发生风险,从而降低围手术期并发症发生率,提高生活质量,改善临床结局。肝胆胰外科患者具有疾病复杂、手术风险高、难度大、发病率及死亡率高等特点,因此,其围手术期的营养评估和营养支持显得尤为重要。本文将肝胆胰外科围手术期营养支持的规范应用作一综述,以期为营养理念在该领域的推广以及临床实践的规范化提供参考。     

大理州孕早期女性血清维生素A、E水平调查

目的了解大理州孕妇妊娠早期血清维生素A、E水平,评价妊娠期维生素的营养状况,指导孕妇妊娠期合理补充维生素。方法收集2017年1月-2018年4月大理州孕妇妊娠早期血清样本共计2861份,采用高效液相色谱法定量测定血清维生素A、E的浓度。结果孕妇妊娠早期血清维生素A检测值为(0.44±0.10)ng/ml,血清维生素E为(14.55±4.09)ng/ml。与参考值比较,血清维生素A总体异常率2.48%,缺乏率2.06%,过量率0.42%;维生素E总体异常率3.32%,全部为过量异常,本研究中未检测到维生素E缺乏的情况。结论大理州孕妇妊娠早期血清维生素A、E水平95%以上均在正常参考范围内,维生素A异常以缺乏为主,维生素E以过量为主。重视孕期维生素A、E水平监测,合理正确补充,对保障母婴安全有重要意义。     

癌性肠梗阻内科治疗的“6字方针”

癌性肠梗阻（MBO）是指原发性或转移性恶性肿瘤本身及其抗肿瘤治疗引起的肠梗阻，是晚期肿瘤患者的常见并发症，总体发生率3%~15%。目前，MBO的治疗仍缺乏统一、有效的治疗规范，大多数医院都采用对症处理的。本文在总结数百例治疗经验基础上，提炼出“减（压）、加（营养）、抑（制消化液分泌）、激（素）、利（尿）、动（运动及促进肠蠕动）”六字方针，简单、实用、有效，通过临床观察，该方案能改善患者症状，恢复经口进食率，提高生活质量和手术治疗的机会，缩短住院时间及降低治疗费用，尽管尚缺乏前瞻性的随机对照研究结果，仍值得推广。
