Population pharmacokinetics of voriconazole and CYP2C19 polymorphisms for optimizing dosing regimens in renal transplant recipients.

Aims: The aims of the present study were to characterize the pharmacokinetics of voriconazole in renal transplant recipients and to identify factors significantly affecting pharmacokinetic parameters. We also aimed to explore the optimal dosing regimens for patients who developed invasive fungal infections.

Methods: A total of 105 patients (342 concentrations) were included prospectively in a population pharmacokinetic analysis.

Mechanism and Treatment Strategy of Osteoporosis after Transplantation.

Osteoporosis (OP) has emerged as a frequent and devastating complication of organ solid transplantation process. Bone loss after organ transplant is related to adverse effects of immunosuppressants on bone remodeling and bone quality. Many factors contribute to the pathogenesis of OP in transplanted patients.

Attenuation of Porphyromonas gingivalis oral infection by α-amylase and pentamidine.

The Porphyromonas gingivalis bacterium is one of the most influential pathogens in oral infections. In the current study, the antimicrobial activity of α-amylase and pentamidine against Porphyromonas gingivalis was evaluated. Their in vitro inhibitory activity was investigated with the agar overlay technique, and the minimal inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations were determined.

[Effect of sonicated extracts of Porphyromonas gingivalis on osteogenic differentiation of mouse osteoblasts].

Objective: To investigate the effects of sonicated extracts of Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) on osteogenic differentiation of mouse osteoblast cell line MC3T3-E1.

Methods: PgW83 was cultured under standard anaerobic conditions and extracted by sonication. Mouse osteoblast cell line MC3T3-E1 was cultured with various concentrations of the extraction (0, 10, 100, 1000 mg/L).

[Effect of caspase-dependent pathway on apoptosis of human gingival fibroblasts induced by advanced glycation end products].

Objective: To investigate the effect of synthesized advanced glycation end products (AGE) on apoptosis of human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and the possible role of caspase-dependent pathway in the process of AGE-induced apoptosis.

Methods: HGF were incubated with AGE-human serum albumin (AGE-HSA). The activity of caspase-8, caspase-9 and caspase-3 were detected by microplate reader after 12 and 24 hours.

[Remineralization of artificial root caries by fluoride dentifrice of different fluoride concentration in vitro].

Purpose: Although the effectiveness of fluoride dentifrice in remineralizing enamel caries has been established, the optimum fluoride concentration for remineralization root caries has not been defined. The aim of this study was to assess and compare the effect of 1.1g/L, 1.

[Evaluation of 126 radical cystectomy with orthotopic ileal or sigmoidocolic neobladder].

Objective: To evaluate the long-term clinical effects of orthotopic ileal or sigmoidocolic neobladder.

Methods: One hundred and twenty six patients with bladder cancer who underwent radical cystectomy and orthotopic ileal or sigmoidocolic neobladder from 1989 to 2001 were followed up, the clinical data was collected and analysed. Hautmann orthotopic ileal neobladder was performed on 84 cases and orthotopic sigmoidocolic neobladder was performed on 42 cases; Lymph node clearing during surgery was performed on 62 cases, chemotherapy and radiotherapy was performed on 64 cases after surgery.

[Influence of environmental factors on synthesis rate of hydrogen peroxide by Streptococcus oralis].

Objective: To investigate the influence of a broad range of environmental conditions on initial rates of hydrogen peroxide produced by Streptococcus oralis (S. oralis).

Methods: For each rate measurement, 1 ml aliquots of 10(12) cells/L mid-logarithmic phase S.
