简介:AbstractBackground:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a more prevalent chronic lung disease with a significant health burden, and the majority of these cases receive inadequate treatment.Methods:Prospective, observational, interview (questionnaire) based complete workup COPD study, screened 12,000 cases with chronic respiratory symptoms with cough, sputum production, and shortness of breath. A total of 6000 COPD cases were enrolled after the spirometry test. COPD cases were assessed as disease knowledge and methods of treatment offered by applying questionnaires to patients and treating physicians.Results:In the present study, 3% of study cases were aware of their COPD illness, 54% were not having knowledge about the disease, and 43% cases were not accepting the COPD diagnosis (p < 0.0001). A total of 58% of cases received inhalation treatment as levosalbutamol monotherapy in 31% cases, levosalbutamol plus beclometasone in 18% cases, and formoterol plus budesonide or salmeterol plus fluticasone only in 9% of COPD cases (p < 0.0001). Total 42% cases received oral treatment as theophylline in 16% cases, salbutamol in 7% cases, oral steroids in 19% cases (p < 0.0001).Conclusion:"Doctor–patient–drug trio" discordance clubbed as "difficult doctor, difficult patient, and difficult treatment" is a very crucial issue observed during diagnosis and management of COPD in peripheral settings in India.
简介:摘要目的进行固体靶PET核素89Zr的制备和质量控制,制备89Zr并标记产物89Zr-去铁胺(DFO)-曲妥珠单克隆抗体(Trastuzumab)。方法采用核反应89Y(p,n)89Zr生产89Zr,设计加工89Y靶的固定靶托,由医用回旋加速器20 μA质子束流约12.5 MeV轰击89Y靶约1~2 h。使用羟肟酸树脂分离纯化轰击后的靶片,用1 mol/L草酸溶液淋洗获得89Zr。分析其特征峰、放射性核素纯度及放化纯等。利用89Zr草酸溶液和DFO-Trastuzumab在室温下标记制得89Zr-DFO-Trastuzumab,测定其放化纯。结果成功进行11次89Zr的生产,获得的89Zr产量为555~1 506 MBq,产额(34.8±5.2) MBq·μA-1·h-1,获得纯化后产品227.2~991.6 MBq(纯化率42%~87%),产品放射性浓度可达1.0×106 MBq/L。γ能谱分析显示了89Zr的特征峰(511和909 keV),未发现其他杂质峰,放射性核素纯度与放化纯均接近100%。合成的89Zr-DFO-Trastuzumab放化纯>95%,人血清白蛋白(HSA)溶液中放置72 h放化纯仍超过90%。结论通过自行设计靶片,成功制得性能优良的固体靶PET核素89Zr并行抗体标记,为89Zr药物的临床应用提供保障。

简介:AbstractPlacentation and tumorigenesis have many common features. Human placentation builds a maternal-fetal connection, circumvents maternal immune rejection of the fetus, and utilizes mechanisms that support tumorigenesis, such as proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and immune tolerance. Trophoblasts of the human placenta mimic the behavior of malignant cells, proliferating and invading the uterine decidua until reaching the myometrium and remodeling the spiral arteries that establish a new vascular system and escape the maternal immune response. These processes are under precise temporal and spatial regulation, and their dysregulation is associated with different pregnancy syndromes, including preeclampsia (PE), a pregnancy syndrome that is the leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. At present, the precise mechanisms underlying the development of PE remain unclear. Here, we summarize and dissect the features between physiological placentation and pathological tumorigenesis to explore the pathogenesis of PE - which we believe to be the result of insufficient placentation, compared to the overaggression of tumorigenesis - to provide novel strategies to prevent and treat PE.
简介:AbstractBackground:Urticaria is a common skin disease characterized by episodes of wheals, and it has a negative effect on patients’ quality of life. Large-scale population-based epidemiological studies of urticaria are scarce in China. The aim of this survey was to determine the prevalence, clinical forms, and risk factors of urticaria in the Chinese population.Methods:This survey was conducted in 35 cities from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities of China. Two to three communities in each city were selected in this investigation. Participants completed questionnaires and received dermatological examinations. We analyzed the prevalence, clinical forms, and risk factors of urticaria.Results:In total, 44,875 questionnaires were distributed and 41,041 valid questionnaires were collected (17,563 male and 23,478 female participants). The lifetime prevalence of urticaria was 7.30%, with 8.26% in female and 6.34% in male individuals (P < 0.05). The point prevalence of urticaria was 0.75%, with 0.79% in female and 0.71% in male individuals (P < 0.05). Concomitant angioedema was found in 6.16% of patients. Adults had a higher prevalence of urticaria than adolescents and children. Living in urban areas, exposure to pollutants, an anxious or depressed psychological status, a personal and family history of allergy, thyroid diseases, and Helicobacter pylori infection were associated with a higher prevalence of urticaria. Smoking was correlated with a reduced risk of urticaria.Conclusion:This study demonstrated that the lifetime prevalence of urticaria was 7.30% and the point prevalence was 0.75% in the Chinese population; women had a higher prevalence of urticaria than men. Various factors were correlated with urticaria.
