The discriminative stimulus and subjective effects of d-amphetamine,phenmetrazine and fenfluramine in humans

The discriminative stimulus (DS) and subjective effects of d-amphetamine (AMP), phenmetrazine (PMT) and fenfluramine (FFL) were studied in a group of normal healthy adults. Subjects (N=27) were trained to discriminate between placebo and 10 mg AMP (PO). Fourteen of the subjects (discriminators) reliably learned the discrimination, whereas the other 13 did not. Nearly all discriminators labelled AMP as a stimulant, and AMP, relative to placebo, increased ratings of drug liking and general activity level, and produced typical stimulant-like subjective effects, as measured by the Profile of Mood States, the Addiction Research Center Inventory, and a series of visual analog scales. The discrimination accuracy of discriminators increased as a function of hour after drug ingestion, as did analog ratings of how certain subjects were that their discrimination responses were correct. Discriminators were tested with doses of PMT (25 and 50 mg) and FFL (20 and 40 mg) to determine whether the DS properties of these drugs would substitute for those of AMP. Both doses of PMT consistently substituted for AMP, and PMT produced subjective effects very similar to those of AMP. Conversely, neither dose of FFL consistently substituted for AMP, and FFL produced essentially no subjective effects. These findings are consistent with results from discrimination studies with other species, and provide further evidence of the validity of this procedure for studying the DS properties of drugs in humans.

潘生丁增强氨甲蝶呤的抗肿瘤作用

外源性核苷能抵消抗代谢药对肿瘤细胞的杀伤作用;核苷转运抑制剂潘生丁则能阻断核苷的这种抵消作用,从而增强抗代谢药的细胞毒性。本研究证明,胸苷和次黄嘌呤可明显抵消氨甲蝶呤对L1210细胞的杀伤作用,潘生丁则能有效地阻断核苷的抵消作用;潘生丁和两性霉素B合用可明显增强氨甲蝶呤对小鼠S180肉瘤的抑制作用,但不增强氨甲蝶呤对动物的毒性。提示潘生丁有可能应用于肿瘤联合化疗。     

Graves甲亢多种治疗方法对Graves眼病影响的系统评价

目的 通过榆索、分析文献系统评价131I、手术、抗甲状腺药物(ATD)治疗Graves病(GD)对Graves眼病(GO)的影响.方法 检索了MEDIJNE(1966年-2006年3月)、EMBASE(1984-2005年)、The Cochrane Library(2006年第1期)、中国生物医学文献光盘数据库(EBMdisc,1978年1月-2006年4月)和中国学术期刊全文数据库(CNKI,1994-2006年)所收录的有关不同GD治疗方法对GO影响的文献,同时从参考文献中追溯文献.对纳入研究的方法学质量进行评价,根据是否采取预防甲状腺功能低下(简称甲低)发生的措施对纳入研究进行亚组分析,结果采用RevMan4.2软件进行统计学分析.结果 最终纳入随机对照研究5项,非随机对照研究2项,病例对照研究1项,共1625例患者.Meta分析显示:如GD治疗后早期未采取措施预防甲低,131I与手术治疗、131I与ATD治疗GD在诱发或加重GO以及减轻GO症状方面莘异有统计学意义[检验值分别为2.31,5.97,3.70,5.55;P均＜0.05];如GD治疗后早期采取措施预防甲低,手术与ATD治疗GD在诱发或加重GO以及减轻GO症状方面差异无统计学意义(检验值分别为0.27,0.99;P均＞0.05),尚无研究涉及131I治疗GD后早期采取甲低预防措施时131I对GO的影响.结论 若未及时采取甲低预防措施,131I较ATD、手术治疗GD更容易诱发或加重GO,减轻GO的症状却不如后两者,对于治疗前已有活动性GO的患者,应慎用131I.

RGD-based strategies for selective delivery of therapeutics and imaging agents to the tumour vasculature

During the past decade, RGD-peptides have become a popular tool for the targeting of drugs and imaging agents to alphavbeta3-integrin expressing tumour vasculature. RGD-peptides have been introduced by recombinant means into therapeutic proteins and viruses. Chemical means have been applied to couple RGD-peptides and RGD-mimetics to liposomes, polymers, peptides, small molecule drugs and radiotracers. Some of these products show impressive results in preclinical animal models and a RGD targeted radiotracer has already successfully been tested in humans for the visualization of alphavbeta3-integrin, which demonstrates the feasibility of this approach. This review will summarize the structural requirements for RGD-peptides and RGD-mimetics as ligands for alphavbeta3. We will show how they have been introduced in the various types of constructs by chemical and recombinant techniques. The importance of multivalent RGD-constructs for high affinity binding and internalization will be highlighted. Furthermore the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of RGD-targeted therapeutics and diagnostics reported in recent years will be reviewed.

为了评价全雄激素阻断治疗晚期前列腺癌的疗效，采用双侧睾丸切除、Ｆｌｕｔａｍｉｄｅ和Ｆｉｎａｓｔｅｒｉｄ联合治疗Ｄ２期前列腺癌病人５例。随访１５～２０个月，结果ＰＳＡ均正常，前列腺体积缩小６１．２％～６９．３％，有显著性差异（Ｐ＜０．０１），骨转移灶缩小、部分消失，积水肾脏完全恢复正常，所有病人治疗后全部有效。表明全雄激素阻断对晚期前列腺癌有良好的治疗效果。提出在三个层次上阻断雄激素治疗晚期前列腺癌的策略。     

Facilitation of ethanol consumption by intracerebroventricular infusions of corticosterone

Male Wistar rats bearing intracerebroventricular (ICV) cannulae and with simultaneous access to 6% ethanol and water were subjected to adrenalectomy (ADX) or sham surgery. ADX decreased ethanol intake. Starting a few days later, the animals received ICV infusions with 100 μg corticosterone acetate (CORT) with 2-to 3-day intervals for 2 weeks. ICV CORT, but not SC CORT at the same dose, restored ethanol consumption in ADX rats to preoperative levels, whereas vehicle infusions (propylene, glycol) did not. Adrenally intact animals, which normally consumed moderate amounts of ethanol (≈0.5 g/kg per day), also showed a robust effect of ICV infusions of CORT, whereas this facilitatory effect was not observed in high consumers (≈3.0 g/kg per day). The suppressive effect of ADX on ethanol intake was not reproduced by concurrent and repeated ICV infusions of intracellular mineralocorticoid (RU 28318) and glucocorticoid (mifepristone) receptor blockers. It is concluded that CORT stimulates alcohol consumption by acting in the brain, probably by way of neuronal membrane mechanisms.
