Abstract:
Objective Amphotericin B (AmB) was a polyene antifungal agent. Because of its lowest resistance rate and broad antibiotic spectrum, AmB was considered as a "gold standard" for the treatment of deep fungal infections. However, the occurrence of toxicity and serious side effects, especially renal toxicity, greatly limited the application of AmB in clinical antifungal therapy. Due to the lack of antifungal with high efficiency and low toxicity, the combination of antifungal agents with different mechanisms of action was a promising research direction. The advantage of the combinations was the course of treatment shortened, drug side effects reduced, the antibacterial spectrum expanded, and drug resistance avoided. The research progress in the combined use of AmB with different types of antifungal compounds were introduced in this article.

Abstract:
Computer aided drug design had become part of the drug discovery process, greatly improved the speed of drug development compared with traditional drug finding methods. In particular, the de novo drug design method could be used to identify ligands with novel structure for a special target. Through computer simulation, researchers could find new ideas about how to change a compound to improve the drug properties or how to assemble some fragments to generate candidates which be drug-like, synthetically accessible and high affinity for a target. The common software of de novo design included LUDI, MCSS, LigBuilder, SPROUT, SYNOPSIS, BREED, LeapFrog and RACHEL, etc. The methods were fragments link and grow, side chain replacement, parent molecule evolve, template, scaffold hopping and so on. Discovery and development of cancer drugs had been revolutionized over the last decade. De novo drug design methods had already played a significant role in the discovery of some anticancer compounds such as kinesin spindle protein inhibitors, vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, cyclophilin A inhibitors, cell division cycle protein CDC25 inhibitors and BRAF inhibitors. The common software and methods of de novo drug design were summarized in this review and their applications in antitumor drug design were discussed.

Tan Hexin, Liu Ying, Zhang Lei
2014, 32(1): 35-41,48. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-0111.2014.01.009
Abstract:
Salvia miltiorrhiza (Bung), a famous medicinal plant, is widely used in China, Japan, America and European countries to treat various conditions, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, due to their excellent medicinal values. A novel fructose-bisphosphate aldolase gene (designated as SmFBA, GenBank accession no. FJ540907) was cloned from S. miltiorrhiza for the first time. The full-length cDNA of SmFBA was 1 390 bp with an open reading frame (ORF) of 1 065 bp which encoding a protein of 355 amino acid residues. The deduced protein had isoelectric point (pI) of 5.60 and a calculated molecular weight of about 37.78 ku. The deduced amino acid sequence of SmFBA gene shared high homology and identity with other plant FBAs. The SmFBA genomic DNA sequence was also obtained, revealing SmFBA had three exons and two introns. Southern-blot analysis indicated that SmFBA was a low-copy gene in S. miltiorrhiza genomic. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that SmFBA expressed constitutively in all tested organs, with the highest expression level in roots. In addition, the recombinant SmFBA protein has enzyme activity in E. coli and could improve the high-salinity stress tolerance of E. coli. The successful isolation of the SmFBA gene will be helpful for studying EMP pathway in the near future.

Abstract:
Objective To compare the stability of ethacridine solution influenced by three factors:pH value, antioxidants and inert gas, to find out the most economical and effective production of ethacridine solution for the hospital with the consideration of economic benefits. Methods The content of ethacridine solution was determined by UV spectrophotometry, and the room-temperature storage period was predicted with the initial uniform rate method. Finally, the optimal conditions for producing the ethacridine solution was selected by orthogonal design. Results Ethacridine solution was the most stable under the condition of pH4.0, 0.10% p-phenetidine and nitrogen of 2 minutes. Ethacridine solution was the second most stable under the condition of pH4.5, 0.00% p-phenetidine and nitrogen of 2 minutes. Conclusion The condition of pH4.5 and nitrogen of 2 minutes was the optimal choice by considering the irritation of ethacridine solution, the cost of production and operation difficulty. However, more tests should be done to find out the optimal plan of production.

Results The onset time of sense block, disappeared time of pain in group B and group C were significantly shorter than those in group A (P<0.05), while there was not significantly different between group B and group C (P>0.05). Compared with group A and group B, the onset time, duration and degree of motor block in group C was much longer, while there was no significantly different between group A and group B (P>0.05). The VAS scores after cesarean section for 2 h, 12 h in group B and group C were significantly lower than that in group A(P<0.05), while there was no significantly difference between Group B and Group C (P>0.05). The VAS scores after cesarean section for 24 h among the three groups were not statistically different (P<0.05). The rate of side effects including nausea and vomiting, sleepiness and itchy skin in group A and group B were lower than that in group C(P<0.05).

Methods From Jan 2011 to Dec 2012, 108 patients who were proved to be multi-drug resistant to tuberculosis in Yuhuan County People's Hospital of Zhejiang Province were included in the study. The patients were divided into moxifloxacin treatment group or levofloxacin treatment group by computer-generated random number and randomly allocated method. The treatment regimens were as follows:in moxifloxacin treatment group, the patients were given moxifloxacin, pasiniazid, pyrazinamide, protionamide, rifapentine, sodium aminosalicylate, and amikacin for 3 months, followed by 6 months treatment of moxifloxacin, pyrazinamide, protionamide, pasiniazid and rifapentine, then moxifloxacin, rifapentine, pyrazinamide, andpasiniazid for 9 months. In levofloxacin treatment group, moxifloxacin was replaced by levofloxacin, and other combinations were same as moxifloxacin group. The treatment time was 18 months in 2 groups. Results At the end of the study, 41 of 53 patients finished the treatment in moxifloxacin-group and 44 of 55 patients finished the treatment in levofloxacin-group. Mortalities were 9.4%(5/53)in moxifloxacin-group and 9.1%(5/55) in levofloxacin-group, respectively. The sputum negative rate was 87.8%(36/41) and 84.1%(37/44) in each group, respectively. The effective rate of chest X ray was 92.7%(38/41) in moxifloxacin group and 93.2%(41/44) in levofloxacin group, and the cavity closure rate were 39%(16/41)and 43.2%(19/44). The rate of serious adverse drug reactions was 13.2%(7/53) and 10.9%(6/55), respectively. There was no significant difference between 2 groups. Conclusion Moxifloxacin combined with other drugs to treat multi-drug-resistant TB had no significant advantages compared to levofloxacin combined with the same drugs.

Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical effect of mifepristone combined with misoprostol and misoprostol in missed abortion curettage. Methods Seventy cases from April 2010 to August 2011 of medical termination of pregnancy in Huzhou family planning service station of Zhejiang Province were collected. All cases were divided randomly into research group (38 cases) and the control group (32 cases). The patients in research group were treated with mifepristone 50 mg once per 12 h, 3 times, on 3rd day, 600 μg misoprostol 2 h before abortion curettage; the patients in control group were treated with 600 μg misoprostol 2 h before abortion curettage. Results There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in complete abortion rate (P>0.05). Vaginal bleeding time in research group was significantly less than that in control group, there was significant difference between 2 groups, with χ2=4.12 and P<0.05. Blood volume in research group was significantly less than in control group, there was significant difference between the 2 groups, with χ2=5.30, and P<0.05.The incidence of side effects of research group was significantly less than that of control group, there was significant difference between 2 groups, with χ2=5.61 and P<0.05. Conclusion Mifepristone combined with misoprostol and misoprostol only for pregnancy termination had the same clinical effect. But mifepristone combined with misoprostol could effectively reduce the vaginal bleeding time and blood loss, and have fewer side effects.
