补充维生素D预防骨折——随机对照试验汇总分析

背景：对于脊椎以外的骨折而言，补充口服维生素D的预防作用和用量仍无定论。 目的：评估补充维生素D在预防老年髋骨骨折和非脊椎骨折方面的效果。 数据来源：使用MEDLINE、Cochrance对照试验记录（1960～2005年）以及EMBASE（1991-2005年），对英文和非英文文章进行系统回顾。通过与临床专家接触，通过检索美国社会骨和骨矿研究协会提供的参考文献和摘要（1995～2004年）．进一步寻找更多的研究。检索词包括随机对照试验（randomized controlled trial，RCT）、临床对照试验、随机分配、双盲法、维生素D3、维生素D2；25-羟基维生素D、骨折、人类、老年、摔倒和骨密度。 研究选取：纳入的研究仅限于口服补充维生素D（维生素D3、维生素D2、补钙或不补钙）与补钙或安慰剂比较的双盲RCTs。试验于检查髋部骨折或非脊椎骨折的老年人（年龄≥60岁）中进行。数据提取：两位作者根据预先规定独立提取相关数据，其中包括研究质量指标。 数据综合：所有的汇总分析均以随机效应模型为基础。5项有关髋部骨折的RCTs（n=9294）和7项有关非脊椎骨折危险的RCTs（n=9820）符合我们的纳入标准。所有试验均使用了维生素D3。对髋部和非脊椎骨折预防研究的异质性亦进行观察，用低剂量（400IU／d）和高剂量（700～800IU／d）分别合并RCTs后异质性消失。与补钙或安慰剂相比，每天服700～800IU的维生素D可使髋部骨折的相对危险（relative risk，aa）下降26％（3项RCTs共计5572人；RR，0．74；95％可信区间[confidence interval，CI]，0．61～0．88），使非脊椎骨折的相对危险下降23％（5项RCTs共计6098人；RR，0．77；95％CI，0．68～0．87）。每天服400IU的维生素D（2项RCTs共计3722人；髋部骨折RR，1．15；95％CI，0．88～1．50；非脊椎骨折RR，1．03；95％CI，0．86—1．24）未见明显获益。 结论：口服补充维生素D（700～800IU／d）可以降低尚能活动的老人或慈善机构收容的老年人发生髋部骨折和脊椎以外骨折的危险，每天口服400IU维生素D并不足以预防骨折。

203Pb-labeled alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone peptide as an imaging probe for melanoma detection.

Peptide-targeted alpha-therapy with 7.4 MBq of (212)Pb-[1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid]-ReO-[Cys(3,4,10),d-Phe(7),Arg(11)]alpha-MSH(3-13) ((212)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH) cured 45% of B16/F1 murine melanoma-bearing C57 mice in a 120-d study, highlighting its melanoma treatment potential. However, there is a need to develop an imaging surrogate for patient-specific dosimetry and to monitor the tumor response to (212)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH therapy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH as a matched-pair SPECT agent for (212)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH. METHODS: DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH was labeled with (203)Pb in 0.5 M NH(4)OAc buffer at pH 5.4. The internalization and efflux of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH were determined in B16/F1 melanoma cells. The pharmacokinetics of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH was examined in B16/F1 melanoma-bearing C57 mice. A micro-SPECT/CT study was performed with (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH in a B16/F1 melanoma-bearing C57 mouse at 2 h after injection. RESULTS: (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH was easily prepared in NH(4)OAc buffer and completely separated from the excess nonradiolabeled peptide by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH displayed fast internalization and extended retention in B16/F1 cells. Approximately 73% of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH activity internalized after a 20-min incubation at 25 degrees C. After incubation of the cells in culture medium for 20 min, 78% of internalized activity remained in the cells. (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH exhibited a biodistribution pattern similar to that of (212)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH in B16/F1 melanoma-bearing mice. (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH exhibited a peak tumor uptake of 12.00+/-3.20 percentage injected dose per gram (%ID/g) at 1 h after injection. The tumor uptake gradually decreased to 3.43+/-1.12 %ID/g at 48 h after injection. (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH exhibited a peak tumor-to-kidney uptake ratio of 1.53 at 2 h after injection. The absorbed doses to the tumor and kidneys were 4.32 and 4.35 Gy, respectively, per 37 MBq. Whole-body clearance of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH was fast, with approximately 89% of the injected activity cleared through the urinary system by 2 h after injection. (203)Pb showed 1.6-mm SPECT resolution, which was comparable to (99m)Tc. Melanoma lesions were visualized through SPECT/CT images of (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH at 2 h after injection. CONCLUSION: (203)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH exhibited favorable pharmacokinetic and tumor imaging properties, highlighting its potential as a matched-pair SPECT agent for (212)Pb-DOTA-Re(Arg(11))CCMSH melanoma treatment.     

Changes in T .lymphocyte subsets after severe traumatic brain inJury

BACKGROUND： Besides local changes of cranial parenchymal cells, hemorrhage, etc., severe traumatic brain injuries also cause the changes of total body fluid and various functions, and the changes of lymphocytes and T lymphocyte subsets should be paid more attention to. OBJECTIVE： To reveal the changing laws of T lymphocyte subsets after severe traumatic brain injury, and compare with mild to moderate brain injury. DESIGN： A comparative observation. SETTINGS： Department of Neurosurgery, Longgang District Buji People＇s Hospital of Shenzhen City; Central Laboratory of Shenzhen Hospital of Prevention and Cure for Chronic Disease. PARTICIPANTS： All the subjects were selected from the Department of Neurosurgery, Longgang District Buji People＇s Hospital of Shenzhen City from August 2002 to August 2005. Thirty patients with severe brain injury, whose Glasgow coma score （GCS） was ≤ 8 points, were taken as the experimental group, including 21 males and 9 females, aging 16 - 62 years. Meanwhile, 30 patients with mild traumatic brain injury were taken as the control group （GCS ranged 14- 15 points）, including 18 males and 12 females, aging 15 -58 years. All the subjects were in admission at 6 hours after injury, without disease of major organs before injury Informed consents were obtained from all the patients or their relatives. METHODS： （1） The T lymphocytes and the subsets in peripheral blood were detected with immunofluorescent tricolor flow cytometry at l, 3, 7 and 14 days after injury in both groups. （2） The conditions of pulmonary infections were observed at 4 days after injury. The differences of measurement data were compared with the t test. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES： Changes of T lymphocytes subsets at 1 - 14 days after severe and mild or moderate traumatic injury. RESULTS： Finally, 28 and 25 patients with mild to moderate traumatic brain injury, whereas 25 and 21 patients with severe traumatic brain injury were analyzed at 7 and 14 days respectively, and the missed ones died due to the development of disease. （1） Changes of T lymphocyte subsets： At 1 and 3 days after injury, CD3, CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8 began to decrease, whereas CD8 increased in the experimental group, which were very significantly different from those in the control group （t =2.77 - 3.26, P 〈 0.01）, and began to recover at 7 days, which were significantly different from those in the control group （t = 2.06 - 2.24, P 〈 0.05）, and generally recovered to the normal levels at 14 days （P 〉 0.05）. （2） Conditions of pulmonary infections： At 4 days after injury, the rate of pulmonary infection was significantly different between the experimental group and control group [73% （22/30）, 0, x2=37.29, P 〈 0.01]. CONCLUSION： Patients with severe traumatic brain injury suffer from damages of cellular immune function at early period （within 7 days）, and they are easily to be accompanied by pulmonary infections.     

Characterization of a novel metabolite intermediate of ziprasidone in hepatic cytosolic fractions of rat, dog, and human by ESI-MS/MS, hydrogen/deuterium exchange, and chemical derivatization.

Ziprasidone (Geodone), a novel atypical antipsychotic agent, is recently approved for the treatment of schizophrenia. It undergoes extensive metabolism in preclinical species and humans after oral administration, and only a very small amount of administered dose is excreted as unchanged drug. In vitro studies using human liver microsomes have shown that the oxidative metabolism of ziprasidone is mediated primarily by CYP3A4. However, coadministration of ziprasidone with ketoconazole, a CYP3A4 inhibitor, showed only a modest increase in its exposure. Therefore, in vitro metabolism of ziprasidone was investigated in hepatic cytosolic fractions to further understand its clearance mechanisms in preclinical species and humans. The major metabolite from incubation of ziprasidone in cytosolic fractions of rat, dog, and human was characterized by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and found to be the product of reductive cleavage. Derivatization and hydrogen/deuterium exchange were used to deduce that the addition of two hydrogen atoms had occurred at the benzisothiazole moiety. Further studies to determine the enzyme involved in the formation of this metabolite are currently in progress. The identification of this novel metabolite in cytosol has clarified the clearance mechanism of ziprasidone in humans and preclinical species.
