OBJECTIVE To explore standardized evaluation process for clinical comprehensive evaluation of blood lipid- regulating drugs and perform rapid assessment of clinical comprehensive evaluation of blood lipid-regulating drugs with different mechanisms so as to provide reference for the drug catalogue selection and rational drug use of medical institutions. METHODS Referring to guidelines and consensus such as the guideline for the management of comprehensive clinical evaluation of drugs, the methods such as literature research, expert interviews, and Delphi expert consultation were used to establish a multi-dimensional and multi-criteria clinical comprehensive evaluation index system and quantitative scoring table for blood lipid-regulating drugs around the two main lines of technical evaluation and policy evaluation. Then 13 blood lipid-regulating drugs with different mechanisms in 21 third-grade class-A medical institutions from five provinces and regions of Northwest China were scored from both technical and policy dimensions to form a comprehensive evaluation result. RESULTS The clinical comprehensive evaluation index system and corresponding rapid evaluation quantitative scoring table were constructed for blood lipid-regulating drugs in the five northwest provinces and regions. The technicalevaluation section included 6 primary indicators, 13 secondary indicators, and 34 tertiary indicators, totaling 110 points. The policy evaluation section included 4 primary indicators and 6 secondary indicators, with a total score of 40 points (30 points for some drugs) and a total score of 150 points (or 140 points). The scoring results showed that the highest score was atorvastatin, followed by rosuvastatin and simvastatin. CONCLUSIONS Statins are still the cornerstone of drug therapy for patients with dyslipidemia; the rapid evaluation quantitative scoring table constructed in this study is comprehensive, systematic and operable. The evaluation process in this study can provide empirical references for other groups to exploring the standardized path and quality control mechanism of clinical comprehensive evaluation of drugs.

Objective@# To investigate the influence of mechanical debridement on the subgingival microbiome in chronic periodontitis by 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing.@*Methods@#Patients with generalized moderate to severe chronic periodontitis were recruited into this study and received oral hygiene instruction and supragingival scaling. One week later, they received ultrasonic and manual subgingival scaling and root planning. Clinical parameters were recorded and subgingival plaques were sampled at baseline and 3 months and 6 months after treatment. The comprehensive profiles of the subgingival microbiome were analyzed by sequencing the V3-4 region of 16S rRNA with the Illumina MiSeq platform.@*Results @#Alpha diversity analysis showed that the richness and diversity of the subgingival community were consistent before and after treatment, but a significant difference in community structure was detected only between baseline and month 3 by principal coordinates analysis (PCoA). After 3 months, the clinical parameter as probing depth (PD) decreased significantly and the relative abundances of the genera related to periodontitis such as Porphyromonas, Treponema, Tannerella, and Filifactor decreased significantly. Meanwhile, the relative abundances of the genera associated with periodontal health increased, such as Capnocytophaga, Kingella. Six months later, however, less genera related to periodontitis decreased significantly from the baseline level, such as Filifactor. PD decreased significantly compared with baseline, but increased significantly compared with 3 months after treatment. @* Conclusion@#Mechanical debridement alone could relieve periodontal inflammation and balance microbial dysbiosis and the greater efficacy occurred 3 months after treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To develop an LC-MS/MS method for the determination of vonoprazan pyroglutamate and vonoprazan fumarate in rat urine to determince the urine excretion of the two drugs in SD rats. METHODS: The detection was performed on an API 4000 tandem mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was selected with the transitions of m/z 346.2 to 315.2 for TAK-438 P and m/z 237.2 to 194 for IS, respectively. Separation of the analytes was achieved by a Shimadzu liquid chromatography system with an Agelient C18 analytical column (4.6 mm×150 mm, 3.5 μm). Isocratic elution was adopted with mobile phase A (10 mmol•L-1 ammonium acetate and 0.1% formic acid) and mobile phase B (methanol) at the ratio of 40:60, at a flow rate of 0.6 mL•min-1. The total run time was 6 min and the injected sample volume was 5 μL. All the features of the developed method suggested it met the criteria for bioanalytical METHODS recommended by regulatory authorities. The accumulative urine excretion rates of TAK-438 F and TAK-438 P were determined after oral administration of TAK-438 P and equimolar TAK-438 F in SD rats. RESULTS: The accumulative urine excretion rates of the prototype drugs were 2.11% and 2.03%, respectively. The low excretion rates indicated that metabolism might be the major clearance mechanism of TAK-438 P and TAK-438 F. CONCLUSION: This was the first time to establish and validate a simple, rapid and sensitive LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of TAK-438 P. There is no significant difference of the accumulative urine excretion rate between TAK-438 P and TAK-438 F in SD rats, which provides the basis for the druggability of TAK-438 P.

Objective:To study the kinetics of transdermal absorption of volatile oil from Angelica slinesis in fetal skin and investi-gate the mechanism of penetration enhancement in terms of morphology. Methods: Franz diffusion cells were used to investigate the transdermal characteristics in vitro. The content of ligustilide was determined by HPLC, and the cumulative permeation amount per unit area and rate constant of ligustilide were calculated. The effects of volatile oil from Angelica slinesis on skin ultrastructure was observed by a scanning electron microscope and a transmission electron microscope. Results:The kinetics of volatile oil at different concentra-tions was all in accordance with Higuchi equations. The ultrastucture changes of fetal skin under the scanning electron microscope were as follows:the wrinkles on skin surface increased, some areas of stratum corneum peeled off and turnovered like worn-out cotton pad-ding, the follicular orifice was enlarged, and the cuticles of the hair shaft dropped off and became thinner. The changes of fetal skin ul-trastucture under the transmission electron microscope were as follows:stratum corneum cells peeled off, the cell junction in basal lam-ina and stratum spinosum were broken, and the intercellular space was enlarged. Conclusion: The volatile oil from Angelica slinesis has good transdermal permeability. Its enhancement mechanism of transdermal drug absorption is closely related with the effects on skin ultrastructure, which can change the structure of stratum corneum to increase the cell gaps resulting in enhancing drug penetration.

AIM:To explore whether histamine can regulate the expression of early growth response factor-1 (Egr-1) in the cerebral cortex astrocytes.METHODS:Normal wild-type (WT) mice, histidine decarboxylase knockout ( HDC-KO) mice and histamine treated HDC-KO mice were sacrificed for extracting the total RNA of the cerebral cortex. Primary cultured rat cortical astrocytes were treated with histamine at concentrations of 10 -8 , 10 -7 , 10 -6 , 10 -5 or 10 -4 mol/L for 15, 30, 60, 120 or 240 min.H1 or H2 receptor antagonists were pretreated for 15 min before histamine treat-ment.After histamine treatment, the cell total RNA or protein was extracted.The expression of Egr-1 at mRNA and protein levels was determined by real-time PCR and Western blot.RESULTS:The mRNA level of Egr-1 in cerebral cortex of HDC-KO mice was significantly lower than that in WT mice, while exogenous histamine induced the mRNA expression of Egr-1 in HDC-KO mice.In cultured astrocytes, histamine induced the mRNA expression of Egr-1.The maximum increase in the mRNA level of Egr-1 was produced by histamine at concentration of 10 -5 mol/L.In addition, histamine-induced Egr-1 mRNA accumulation peaked at 30 min after commencing stimulation, while histamine significantly increased Egr-1 protein expression at 60 min.Furthermore, histamine-induced Egr-1 expression was inhibited by H1 receptor antagonist but not H2 receptor antagonist.CONCLUSION:Histamine up-regulates the Egr-1 expression in cerebral cortex and cultured astrocytes, which may attribute to H1 receptor activation.
Résumé
p53 gene plays an important role in apoptosis, which is necessary for successful invasion of trophoblast cells. The change from an arginine (Arg) to a proline (Pro) at codon 72 can influence the biological activity of p53, which predisposes to an increased risk of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). In order to investigate the association between p53 polymorphism at codon 72 and RSA, we conducted this meta-analysis. Pubmed, Embase and Web of science were used to identify the eligible studies. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to evaluate the strength of the association. Six studies containing 937 cases of RSA and 830 controls were included, and there was one study deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). There was a significant association between p53 polymorphism at codon 72 and RSA in recessive model (Pro/Pro vs. Pro/Arg+Arg/Arg; OR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.14-2.24) and co-dominant model (Pro/Pro vs. Arg/Arg; OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.02-2.12) whether the study that was deviated from HWE was eliminated or not. A significant association was observed in allelic model (Pro vs. Arg; OR=1.28, 95% CI: 1.04-1.57) after exclusion of the study that was deviated from HWE. No association was noted in recessive model (Pro/Pro+Pro/Arg vs. Arg/Arg; OR=1.05, 95% CI: 0.86-1.30) and co-dominant model (Pro/Arg vs. Arg/Arg; OR=0.96, 95% CI: 0.77-1.19). Subgroup analysis by ethnicity also indicated a significant association between p53 polymorphism at codon 72 and RSA in Caucasian group. No heterogeneity and publication bias were found. Our meta-analysis implied that p53 polymorphism at codon 72 carries high maternal risk of RSA.

This study compared the effectiveness and safety of double-balloon catheter versus intra-amniotic injection of ethacridine lactate for the termination of second trimester pregnancy in patients with SLD. A total of 55 patients with indications of labor induction were enrolled and analyzed by retrospective control analysis method. Twenty-three cases adopted Cook double balloon dilation as Cook group, and 32 cases received intra-amniotic injection of ethacridine lactate as EL group. The primary outcome was evaluated by successful abortion rate and the difference in the induction-to-abortion interval. Secondary outcomes included liver function recovery and the frequency of adverse events. Both Cook and EL regimens were effective, with successful abortion rate of 87.0% and 93.8%, respectively (P=0.639). The induction-to-delivery interval was similar between Cook group and EL group (38.1 ± 21.5 vs. 41.3 ± 17.4, P=0.543). The liver disease status was more severe in Cook group than in EL group, but it did not show any significant difference after pregnancy termination between the two groups and the improvement rate also did not show any significant difference. Both treatments were safe and there was no significant difference in bleeding and cervical laceration adverse events between the two groups. Our study firstly compared double-balloon catheter and ethacridine lactate for the induction of labor in women with SLD during second trimester pregnancy.
