In recent years, the evaluation of the bioequivalence (BE) of narrow therapeutic index (NTI) drugs has drawn much attention. Yet,there are still some controversial issues unresolved about how to evaluate the BE of NTI drugs . Currently in China,there is no relevant guideline for the BE studies of NTI drugs . This article introduces and analyzes the difficulties and major solutions to the BE study of NTI drugs. By referring to the domestic and foreign laws, guidelines and related literature, the BE evaluation of NTI drugs and reference-scaled average bioequivalence(RSABE) methods are introduced in hope of providing reference and help for the evaluation of generic drug quality and efficacy of narrow treatment index drugs in China.

AIM: The biodistribution in tumor-bearing mice and biosafety of paclitaxel (PTX) polymer micelles were investigated. METHODS: The pharmacokinetic study, tissue distribution and antineoplastic effect of PTX polymer micelles and Taxol were evaluated on S180 tumor-bearing mice after intravenous injection. Animals were used to research the acute toxicity, hemolysis and venous irritation of PTX polymer micelle. RESULTS:The t1/2 and MRT of PTX polymer micelles were 3.52 and 4.55 times of Taxol, respectively. Tissue distribution studies showed that the relative uptake rate of PTX polymer micelles at tumor sites was 2.31. The results indicated that PTX polymer micelles improved the circulation time and tumor targeting. The antitumor efficacy of PTX polymer micelles was significantly higher than Taxol. Maximum tolerated dose and LD50 of PTX polymer micelles were significantly improved. PTX polymer micelles had no obvious vascular irritation to ear vein of rabbits. CONCLUSION: The circulation time, tumor targeting, antineoplastic effect and biosafety of PTX polymer micelles were improved, which might turn into a promising tumor targeting paclitaxel polymer micelle preparations in clinic with maximum effect and minmum toxicity.

AIM: To investigate the effect and mechanism of resveratrol on the expression of high mobility group box 1 in rats with hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS: Thirty healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham control (SC) group, hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (HIR) group and resveratrol (Res) group. The blood samples and liver tissue samples were collected. The pathological changes of the liver were observed. Serum ALT, AST and AKP activity were detected as indicators of liver function damage and the content of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum were detected by ELISA. The expressions of HMGBl and TLR4 protein and mRNA were determined by Western Blot and RT-PCR.RESULTS:Compared with the HIR group, the pathological injury of the liver was significantly improved and the concentrations of serum AST, ALT and AKP were significantly lower in Res group (P<0.01); meanwhile, the expression of HMGB1 and TLR4 protein and mRNA of hepatic tissue were decreased, serum inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α were also significantly decreased (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Resveratrol shows significant protective effect on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in rat. This may be related with inhibiting the HMGBl-TLR4 signaling pathway and alleviating the inflammatory response.

AIM: To explore the effect and mechanism of dexamethasone (DEX) on the function of placental transport of glucose. METHODS: One hundred and sixty premature pregnant women who received treatment and delivery in Hangzhou First People's Hospital were randomly divided into control group and DEX group (n=80). Ten placenta tissue samples were randomly selected from two groups, respectively. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect human placental lactogen. JEG-3 cell line used to research mechanism was divided into 4 groups according to different transfer vectors, i.e group pcDNA3.1, group pcDNA3.1-GRα, group Control siRNA and group GRα siRNA. The CCK-8 method was used to detect placental cell proliferation. TUNEL method was used to detect degree of apoptosis. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and glucose uptake were detected. Fluorescent probe was used to detect content of reactive oxygen species. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the relative the expression level of GRα and GLUT.RESULTS:The strong expression of HPL in control group was more than that in DEX group. Compared with pcDNA3.1 group, cell proliferation, MMP level and glucose uptake increased significantly in pcDNA3.1-GRα group (P<0.05, P<0.01); yet cell apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) level decreased significantly (P<0.01) and the relative expression level of GRα, GLUT1 and GLUT3 increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with control siRNA group, cell proliferation, MMP level and glucose uptake of GRα siRNA group decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01); yet cell apoptosis and ROS level increased significantly (P<0.01) and the relative expression level of GRα, GLUT1 and GLUT3 decreased significantly (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: DEX can induce glucose transport function of placenta, which is likely related with ROS/AMPK pathway.

AIM: To explore the anti-tumor effect of salvianolic acid A(SAA) and to research its reversal effect of multidrug resistance on A549/MTX tumor. METHODS: The human lung carcinoma cell line A549 and human lung carcinoma drug-resisitant cell line A549/MTX were cultured in vitro and were divided into three groups: blank control group (medium only), negative control group (cell suspension plus medium) and experimental group (cell suspension plus three kinds of ant-tumor drugs). SAA in five concentrations (4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 μg/mL) intervened A549 cells. The inhibition effects of SAA of 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 μg/mL in 24 h, 48 h and 48 h on A549 cell proliferation were tested by MTT assay. The IC₅₀ of MTX，CDDP，and GEF for the cell of A549，A549/MTX were determined by MTT assay. The IC₅₀ of MTX，CDDP，and GEF for the A549/MTX after intervention with SAA were determined also by MTT assay. The sensitivity change and drug reversal effect of SAA before and after intervention on the A549/MTX cell line were investigated by MTT assay. RESULTS: The inhibition rate after intervention with SAA on A549 cells for 24 h was increased from (9.16±3.64)% (4 μg/mL) to (52.93±5.21)% (64 μg/mL). Accordingly, the inhibition rate of SAA were (54.93±5.21)%, (63.83±2.74)%, (72.91±4.06)% for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h as the concentration was increased to 64 μg/mL. Anti-proliferative effects of SAA on A549 cells were significant, and the inhibition rate increased with dose dependence and time dependence. Inhibition rate of SAA of 4 μg/mL on A549 and A549/MTX cell growth were 9.16% and 7.38%, respectively. Both less than 10% and no obvious toxic effect was observed, so concentration of 4 μg/mL was choosed as safety experiment dose for lung cancer drug resistant. When 4 μg/mL SAA intervened on A549/MTX cell, MTX to A549/MTX half inhibitory concentration was from (105.72±4.62) μg/mL to (26.13±1.36) μg/mL. Reverse ratio was 4.05. Half inhibitory concentration of CDDP on A549/MTX cell was from (174.92±6.86) μg/mL to (49.89±1.73) μg/mL, reverse ratio was 3.51. Half inhibitory concentration of GEF on A549/MTX cell was from (251.38±8.64) μg/mL to (116.93±5.22) μg/mL, reverse ratio was 2.15. Compared with the effect on A549 cells，MTX, CDDP, and GEF presented significant difference (P<0.01). Compared with the effect on A549/MTX cell intervened with SAA，MTX, CDDP, and GEF presented significant effect on A549/MTX cells (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: SAA can inhibit the growth of A549 cells and A549/MTX cells, and partially reverse the multidrug resistance of A549/MTX in vitro．

Nowadays, FDA has specifically established the rules of electronic review files for drug submission. SDTM define.xml, which is based on CDISC ODM (Operational Data Model), has been used as one of the essential documents for FDA review. In recent years many pharmaceutical and CRO companies devote themselves to developing tools to realize automated SDTM define.xml generation. But in terms of quality control, little research is carried out; therefore, people need to spend more time on manual check. The purpose of this research is to create a set of comprehensive checklist based on SDTM define.xml metadata, and realize automated inspection and quality control systematically for these checkpoints via SAS macro. As a result, to ensure all info in SDTM define.xml is correct and kept good traceability by decreasing the human cost and raise efficiency at the same time.

Cardiac hypertrophy is the compensatory response of the heart in response to stimulation. Cardiac hypertrophy can improve the physiological function of the heart, but pathological myocardiac hypertrophy can cause a series of adverse effects on the heart such as arrhythmia, heart failure and sudden death risk. Recent studies revealed that AKAPs participates in the regulation of pathological myocardiac hypertrophy with multiple signal factors. Here we review the role of the A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAPs) in the regulation of pathological hypertrophy and its clinical significance.

Alcoholic liver disease is the chronic liver injury caused by alcohol abuse, which is a serious threat to global public health and social development. However, the incidence of alcoholic liver disease has great individual differences. The genetic polymorphisms associated with alcohol metabolism enzyme, lipid storage, inflammatory response and fibrosis can affect the risk of alcoholic liver disease. In addition, recent genome-wide association studies have also found the PNPLA3 rs738409 and other SNPs which were proved to be associated with alcoholic liver disease susceptibility in different populations. These studies are of great significance to further understand the pathogenesis and clinical diagnosis, prevention and treatment of alcoholic liver disease. This article reviews the recent studies related to association between gene polymorphism and alcoholic liver disease susceptibility.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors originating in the gastrointestinal tract. The understanding of GIST's pathogenesis improves the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease. And the diagnosis and treatment of GIST becomes the model of tumor multidisciplinary treatment. This article summarizes the progress of diagnosis and treatment of GIST, including the pathology, surgery and drug therapy. We hope this overview can help clinical doctors to treat GIST patients better.
