Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies with mitoxantrone in the treatment of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of mitoxantrone were studied in 15 patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) after single intravenous rapid infusion (12 to 14 mg/m2). Mitoxantrone plasma concentrations and urinary excretion were measured specifically with the use of a high-performance liquid chromatographic method with ultraviolet detection at 242 and 658 nm. The pharmacokinetic parameters are described adequately by a three-compartment model with a terminal half-life of 71.5 +/- 40.1 hours and a volume of distribution of 5037 +/- 2377 l. The total plasma clearance was 743 +/- 462 ml/minute, and the renal clearance was 18.8 +/- 8.49 ml/minute. Within 72 hours, 1.8 +/- 0.6% of the administration dose was excreted in urine as mitoxantrone parent compound. From the urinary excretion rate data, glomerular filtration and possible tubular reabsorption were the mechanisms involved in the urinary excretion of mitoxantrone. The values for unbound fraction (%) in plasma at time 0 and 5 minutes were 2.88 +/- 0.91% and 3.25 +/- 1.19%, with an average of 3.04 +/- 1.01%. The degree of protein binding of mitoxantrone was not affected by concentration (P greater than 0.05) in Chinese patients with NPC. The response rate for mitoxantrone was poor in this study. Clinical studies have demonstrated that mitoxantrone was generally well tolerated. Only very low incidences of nausea, vomiting, and alopecia were observed. The mild and rapidly reversible dose-limiting hematologic toxic effects have proven leukopenia. Although the toxicities reported here were tolerated for most patients, other combination regimens including mitoxantrone or other administration routes may be considered and need to be evaluated carefully.

Identification of Leishmania donovani isolates from different kala-azar foci in China by kDNA hybridization.

kDNA sequence homology of Leishmania donovani isolates from three types of kala-azar foci in China were analyzed by using dot and Southern hybridization with biotin- and 32P-labelled probes. The results revealed kDNA sequence heterogeneity among Leishmania donovani isolates from the three kala-azar foci: sequence homology between isolates of hill and desert foci was higher than that between hill and plain foci isolates. The kDNA hybridization technique was also found to be specific and sensitive for direct identification of Leishmania in animal tissues. In a preliminary survey, kDNA hybridization of cutaneous tissue blots of 71 dogs from endemic regions showed a positive rate of 40.8%, and the rate of double positive cases (touch blot hybridization and bone marrow smear) reached 91.3%. The direct identification of Leishmania in tissues by kDNA hybridization seems to be a useful and convenient method for epidemiological study and clinical diagnosis, especially for species/strain characterization.     

Antibodies against dengue virus E protein peptide bind to human plasminogen and inhibit plasmin activity

Both mice and rabbits immunized with dengue virus E protein peptide spanning amino acids 100–119 (D4E) produced antibodies that reacted not only with the D4E peptide itself but also with human plasminogen, as shown by ELISA and Western blot. Sera from dengue virus-hyperimmunized mice and dengue patients also contained antibodies against D4E and plasminogen. Furthermore, such sera all contained plasmin inhibitory activity. Using affinity-purified anti-D4E antibodies and free D4E peptide for competitive inhibition, we demonstrated that the inhibition of plasmin activity was due to anti-D4E antibodies rather than other substances in the sera. Taken together, these results suggest dengue virus E protein amino acids 100–119 are a cross-reactive immunogenic region, and antibodies against this region may interfere with human fibrinolysis.     

选择性髂内动脉结扎与栓塞对盆腔血供的影响

目的：旨在探讨选择性髂内动脉结扎与栓塞两种方法对盆腔血供的影响。方法：将两组犬在膀胱上动脉分支以下之髂内动脉分别行结扎与栓塞，对比观察两组膀胱创面出血、盆腔动脉造影及盆腔脏器组织学变化，以确定其盆腔脏器的血供情况。结果：①结扎组膀胱创面出血明显大于栓塞组；②结扎组髂内动脉侧支循环建立时间明显早于且数目多于栓塞组；③两组盆腔脏器均未见缺血坏死。结论：栓塞组阻断髂内动脉侧支循环的数目多于结扎组，故对盆腔血供的影响大于结扎组。避免髂内动脉阻断范围过广可减少盆腔脏器缺血坏死的机会。     

Influence of anesthesia on the threshold of pacing-induced ischemia.

Increased myocardial oxygen demand, induced by increased heart rate, may cause myocardial ischemia in the presence of significant coronary artery disease. Alterations in anesthetic depth or technique might put at risk or protect myocardium with compromised blood flow. In 20 dogs with critical left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) stenosis, atrial pacing rates from 100 to 160 beats/min were achieved, with end-tidal halothane 0.7% (LowH) and 1.1% (HighH), end-tidal isoflurane 1.1% (LowI) and 1.5% (HighI), as well as with continuous fentanyl plus midazolam (FM) infusion anesthesia. Despite significantly different mean arterial and coronary perfusion pressures, rate-pressure product, and left ventricular dP/dtmax, the pacing rate at which systolic shortening decreased below the lower limit of the physiologic response, indicating regional dysfunction, was the same in all investigated anesthesia conditions (LowH: 127 +/- 4 beats/min; HighH: 128 +/- 5 beats/min; LowI: 125 +/- 4 beats/min; HighI: 122 +/- 5 beats/min; FM: 124 +/- 4 beats/min [mean +/- SEM], P greater than 0.05). None of the investigated anesthesia conditions either increased ischemia tolerance or showed a detrimental effect on myocardium with compromised coronary blood flow.     

Acupuncture Treatment of Frequent Urination

Patient Liu （a male office worker of a company in Beijing）, aged 49, paid his first visit on March 10, 2003, with the chief complaint of frequent urination at night for over one year. One year ago, he started to have frequent urination 4-5 times every night, which disturbed his sleep and made him fatigue during the day. Though he tried to drink less water, the above symptoms couldn＇t be alleviated. The condition was accompanied by such symptoms as listlessness, general lassitude,     

小肝癌的病理与螺旋CT诊断

原发性肝癌(primaryhepatocellularcarcinoma,PH CC)在我国是居第3位的恶性肿瘤,每年患者达11万之多,预后甚差[1]。肝癌的早期诊断,是提高患者5年生存率的重要手段,也是影像学面临的重大课题。直径>3cm的病灶,各种影像学技术的检出敏感性均很高,无统计学差异。而对于小肝癌(SHCC),特别是微小肝癌(MHCC)的检出仍有一定困难,其检出敏感性有一定差异。以往文献报道术中超声、CT动脉门脉造影(CTAP)和碘油CT的敏感性最高,但均为创伤性检查,临床应用有严格指征。1989年螺旋CT机问世,其连续快速扫描和容积数据采集成像技术的应用,特别是近…
