AIM: To investigate the effects of montelukast on learning memory and cholinergic system in model mice induced by scopolamine.METHODS: Mice were randomly divided into 5 groups: vehicle plus vehicle (Veh+Veh), scopolamine plus vehicle(Scop+Veh), scopolamine plus donepezil (Scop+Done 2.0 mg/kg), scopolamine plus montelukast 1.0 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 (Scop+Mon 1.0 mg/kg) and scopolamine plus montelukast 2.0 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 (Scop+Mon 2.0 mg/kg). The drugs were intragastrically administered for 14 consecutive days at 0.5 h after intraperitoneal injection with scopolamine (1.0 mg·kg^-1·d^-1) in mice. Mice were submitted to Morris water maze (MWM) test and Y maze test. Changes in cholinergic system reactivity were also examined by measuring the acetylcholine and acetylcholinesterase in the hippocampus and cortex.RESULTS: Scopolamine injection induced learning memory impairment in the MWM test and Y maze test and severe decrease of cholinergic system reactivity, as indicated by reduced acetylcholine levels and increased acetylcholinesterase activity. Daily administration of montelukast significantly decreased the escape latency times to the platform during acquisition trials, increased the times in target quadrant and the number of crossing times in the probe trial, and times of correct response in Y maze test. This treatment also significantly decreased TChE activity and increased ACh levels in hippocampus and cortex.CONCLUSION: Montelukast demonstrates a significant neuroprotective effect against scopolamine-induced learning memory impairment resulting from Ach elevation through decreasing TChE activity.

AIM: To investigate the pharmacokinetics of semisodium valproate enteric-coated tablets in healthy Chinese volunteers after single or multiple doses.METHODS: This open and random 3×3 latin clinical trial involved 12 healthy volunteers. The volunteers received three single doses and then multiple doses. The concentration of valproic acid in plasma was determined by HPLC. The parameters were calculated using WinNonlin program.RESULTS: The main pharmacokinetic parameters of valproic acid after single doses (250, 500, 1 000 mg ) were as follows: C_max were (20.51±3.36), (39.01±4.06), (63.76±6.90) mg/L, respectively; t_max were (3.1±1.1), (3.7±2.9), (3.2±1.8) h, respectively; AUC_last were (427.9±106.0), (805.4±171.2), (1224.0±193.5) mg·h·L^-1, respectively; AUC_inf were (466.4±138.7), (872.1±231.5), (1315.9±247.3) mg·h·L^-1, respectively. The parameters of valproic acid after multiple doses (500 mg ) were C_max (76.71±9.97) mg/L, t_max(3.2±1.2) h;AUC_last (2057.0±344.0) mg·h·L^-1;AUC_inf ( 2212.9±397.1) mg·h·L^-1.CONCLUSION: The preparation has the effect of enteric, and the delay time of absorption is about 1.5-1.8 hours. After 250-500 mg single dose administration, the pharmacokinetic results show that valproic acid exhibits first order kinetic characteristics, but the pharmacokinetic process is nonlinear after single dose administration higher than 500 mg. After 500 mg multiple doses administration, active ingredient valproic acid exists significant accumulation, and the accumulation coefficient is 2.70 ± 0.24.

Intestinal mucositis is a common adverse reaction during chemotherapy, which was with high incidence, toxic, serious impact on cancer treatment and quality of life. Studies show that the pathogenesis of intestinal mucositis induced by chemotherapy is complex, thus the current drug intervention strategies were more, but the curative effect is not exact. In this paper, we reviewed the etiology of intestinal mucosal inflammation induced by chemotherapy and its possible mechanism, and summarized the possible mitigation way to alleviate the chemotherapy induced side effects. From this paper, we could provide reference for the development of rational treatment of this disease and related drugs.

Nearly one third of the world's population have been infected with hepatitis B and the virus is endemic in many Asian countries. China has a high prevalence of HBV, and the number of chronic carriers reaches to ninety-three million. Chemotherapy is an important component in comprehensive treatment of tumor and with increasing life expectancy and the expected global increase in cancer, chemotherapy induced reactivation of HBV is likely to become an increasing problem. Severe liver damage causing by HBV reactivation may also result in a delay to complete chemotherapy or even death of liver failure. It has been recognized that HBV reactivation following chemotherapy can effectively be prevented by nucleoside analogue. However, the optimal method of prevention and treatment have not been fully clarified.

Vancomycin is an essential antibiotic to treat serious gram-positive bacterial infections, which is also linked to some extent of nephrotoxicity. The contemporary guidelines all promote to shift the vancomycin trough level to ensure the clinical efficacy. However, there is much debate that the high trough regimen may influence the renal function of patients. This article reviews the research progress of vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity and mainly describes the relationship between trough levels and nephrotoxicity.
