Recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide is a synthetic polypeptide drug that is primarily used to treat acute heart failure. Its mechanism of action closely mimics that of human endogenous brain natriuretic peptide. By binding to receptors on cardiomyocytes, it exerts its pharmacological effects. Methods: For the study, 76 heart failure patients with hypotension were selected from our hospital between May 2022 and June 2023. These patients were divided into two groups: a control group and an observation group, each comprising 38 patients. The control group received dopamine treatment, while the observation group was treated with recombinant brain natriuretic peptide. The objective was to compare the effects of the treatments in both groups by analyzing cardiac function indices and levels of vasoactive substances to identify any significant differences in outcomes. Results: The overall response rate of the patients in the observation group and the control group was 94.74% and 73.68%, significantly higher as compared with the observation group (P 0.05). After the following treatment, BNP, ANNP and urine output in the observation group were significantly different compared with the control group, of the statistical significance (P Conclusion: For the treatment of heart failure patients with hypotension, the clinical application of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide is the most ideal, and significantly improves the cardiac function of patients, which is worth popularizing.展开更多

METHODS: Acute liver damage was induced by injecting 8-wk-old mice with CCl 4 1 mL/kg (1:3 dilution in corn oil) intraperitoneally (ip). Survival after liver failure was assessed by injecting 8-wk-old mice with a lethal dose of CCl 4 2.6 mL/kg (1:1 dilution in corn oil) ip. Mice were subcutaneously injected with 1 mg/kg recombinant human IL-1Ra twice a day after CCl 4 treatment for 5 d. Serum alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were determined with a commercial assay kit. Serum IL-1β, IL-1Ra levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to determine liver IL-1β, IL-1Ra and IL-6 expression during CCl 4-induced acute liver injury. Liver sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. A histology-injury grading system was used to evaluate the degree of necrosis after acute liver injury. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) staining was used to evaluate the role of rhIL-1Ra in promoting hepatocyte proliferation. RESULTS: Quantitative analysis showed a higher level of IL-6 mRNA expression and reduced serum AST and ALT levels in the livers of the rhIL-1Ra-treated group at the early phase of CCl 4-induced acute liver injury. Histological examination indicated a decrease in centrilobular necrotic areas in mice treated with rhIL-1Ra, and a novel role of rhIL-1Ra in promoting hepatocyte proliferation was also supported by an increase of PCNA staining. All these results, accompanied by a strong survival benefit in rhIL-1Ra-treated vs PBS-treated groups, demonstrated that rhIL-1Ra administration ameliorated the histological damage and accelerated the regeneration and recovery process of the liver. CONCLUSION: rhIL-1Ra could be further developed as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of acute liver injury because of its ability to reduce hepatocellular damage and facilitate liver regeneration.展开更多

All the 3 groups had been supplied with nitrogen and caloricity according to the need of patients for 16 days. The rhGH therapy started 48 h after surgery and lasted for 14 days in two rhGH-treated groups in which rhGH was 0.2 and 0.4 U/(kg·d) respectively, and the resting group served as control one. The levels of nitrogen balance, prealbumin and safety variables (blood sugar, Na+, TT3 and TT4) were observed and com- pared among the three groups. The levels of nitrogen balance on the postoperative day (POD) 3 and 5 in the rhGH-treated groups were -1.28±3.19, 5.45±2.00 and -0.18±2.55, 6.11±1.60, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (-5.17±1.68 and -1.08±3.31, P<0.01). The values of prealbumin on the POD 3 and 5 in the rhGH-treated groups were 180.19±27.15, 194.44±50.82 and 194.94±29.65, 194.11±16.17, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (117.42±19.10 and 135.63±28.31, P<0.01). There was no sig- nificant difference between the rhGH 0.2 U/(kg·d) group and rhGH 0.4 U/(kg·d) group in both of the levels of nitrogen balance and prealbumin. It is concluded that the nutritional support therapy with adjuvant rhGH which starts 48 h after surgery improves the nutrition state of the patients with severe multiple trauma. It is safe for severe multiple trauma patients who accept rhGH at the dose of 0.2 and 0.4 U/(kg·d).展开更多

In the single-dose format pharmacokinetic study, thirty-six healthy male volunteers received three dose levels of rhPTH (1-84) subcutaneously: 1, 2, and 4 μg/kg. The blood was timing drawn and the serum concentration of rhPTH (1-84) was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Serum concentration-time curves of PTH (1-84) exhibited a double-peak pattern, the first peak appearing about 10 to 30 min after administration and the second peak occurring about 1.5 to2 h after administration. Serum terminal half-time of PTH (1-84) was approximately 2 h. The parameters indicated the serum levels were directly proportional to the administered dose, with the mean Cmax and AUC0_24 ranging from approximately 543.47 to 1845 pg/mL and 2358.6 to 9232.12 pg.h.mL^-1 over the dose range. The drug was well tolerated, the clinical symptoms were generally mild and of short duration.展开更多

All preterm infants received supplements of vitamin E (20 IU) and iron (20 mg) each day. Our results showed that postnatal decline of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) were lessened in the treatment groups, particularly in the group 2 and the differences were very significant (P<0. 0001 for all). Treated infants had significantly higher reticulocyte counts (Ret) (P<0. 000] for all), but there was no significant difference between the two treatment groups (P>0. 05). Serum iron dropped significantly in the treatment groups as compared with control group (P<0. 01 for all), but no dose-dependent relationship was observed in treated infants (P>0. 05). After treatment, serum levels of erythropoietin was higher in group 2 than those in group 1 and control group (P<0. 0001, P<0. 01 and P<0. 05, respectively). There was no significant difference between group 1 and control group (P>0. 05). No side effects related to rhEpo therapy were observed. Our study suggested that rhEpo therapy stimulates endogenous erythro-poiesis and enhances Ret, Hct and level of Hb in a dose-dependent manner in premature infants. The therapy is more efficient when given in higher dosages.展开更多

Methods rHuEPO was covalently coupled with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and the conjugate was used to immunize mice to produce specific mAb against rHuEPO based on hybridoma technology. The obtained F3-mAb was characterized by enzyme-linked irmnunosorbent assay (ELISA), SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Results The isotype of F3-mAb was found to be IgM with an affinity constant of 2.1x10s L/mol. The competitive ELISA using the obtained IgM showed a broader linear range and lower detection limit compared with previous work. Conclusions The modification of rHuEPO was proved to be successful in generating required specific mAb with high avidity to rHuEPO.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Dry eye syndrome(DES)after diabetic cataract surgery can seriously affect the patient’s quality of life.Therefore,effective alleviation of symptoms in patients with this disease has important clinical significance.AIM To explore the clinical effect of recombinant human epidermal growth factor(rhEGF)plus sodium hyaluronate(SH)eye drops on DES after cataract surgery in patients with diabetes.METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 82 patients with diabetes who experienced DES after cataract surgery at Tianjin Beichen Hospital,Affiliated Hospital of Nankai University between April 2021 and April 2023.They were classified into an observation group(42 cases,rhEGF+SH eye drops)and a control group(40 cases,SH eye drops alone),depending on the different treatment schemes.The therapeutic efficacy,dry eye symptom score,tear film breakup time(TFBUT),basic tear secretion score[assessed using Schirmer I test(SIt)],corneal fluorescein staining(FL)score,tear inflammatory markers,adverse reactions during treat-ment,and treatment satisfaction were compared between the two groups.RESULTS Therapeutic efficacy was higher in the observation group compared with the control group.Both groups showed improved TFBUT and dry eye,as well as improved SIt and FL scores after treatment,with a more pronounced improvement in the observation group.Although no marked differences in adverse reactions were observed between the two groups,treatment satisfaction was higher in the observation group.CONCLUSION rhEGF+SH eye drops rendered clinical benefits to patients by effectively ameliorating dry eye and visual impairment with favorable efficacy,fewer adverse reactions,and high safety levels.Thus,this treatment should be promoted in clinical practice.
文摘Objective: This paper aims to investigate the effect of applying recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide in patients with heart failure combined with hypotension. Recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide is a synthetic polypeptide drug that is primarily used to treat acute heart failure. Its mechanism of action closely mimics that of human endogenous brain natriuretic peptide. By binding to receptors on cardiomyocytes, it exerts its pharmacological effects. Methods: For the study, 76 heart failure patients with hypotension were selected from our hospital between May 2022 and June 2023. These patients were divided into two groups: a control group and an observation group, each comprising 38 patients. The control group received dopamine treatment, while the observation group was treated with recombinant brain natriuretic peptide. The objective was to compare the effects of the treatments in both groups by analyzing cardiac function indices and levels of vasoactive substances to identify any significant differences in outcomes. Results: The overall response rate of the patients in the observation group and the control group was 94.74% and 73.68%, significantly higher as compared with the observation group (P 0.05). After the following treatment, BNP, ANNP and urine output in the observation group were significantly different compared with the control group, of the statistical significance (P Conclusion: For the treatment of heart failure patients with hypotension, the clinical application of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide is the most ideal, and significantly improves the cardiac function of patients, which is worth popularizing.
文摘BACKGROUND Chronic heart failure(CHF)is a serious and prevalent condition characterized by impaired cardiac function and inflammation.Standard therapy for CHF has limitations,prompting the exploration of alternative treatments.Recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)has emerged as a potential therapy,with evidence suggesting that it can improve cardiac function and reduce inflammation in patients with CHF.However,further research is required to determine the efficacy and safety of lyophilized recombinant human BNP in CHF patients and its impact on microinflammatory status.This study aimed to investigate the effects of lyophilized recombinant human BNP therapy on CHF patients’cardiac function and microinflammatory status.AIM To investigate the effects of freeze-dried recombinant human BNP therapy on cardiac function and microinflammatory status in patients with CHF.METHODS In total,102 CHF patients admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were randomly assigned to control and observation groups(n=51 patients/group).The control patients were treated with standard HF therapy for 3 d,whereas the observational patients were injected with the recombinant human BNP for 3 d.Clinical efficacy,inflammatory factor levels,myocardial damage,cardiac function before and after the treatment,and adverse reactions during treatment were compared between the two groups.RESULTS The overall clinical efficacy was higher in the observation group than in the control group.Compared with baseline,serum hypersensitive C-reactive protein,N-terminal proBNP,and troponin I level,and physical,emotional,social,and economic scores were lower in both groups after treatment,with greater reductions in levels and scores noted in the observation group than in the control group.The overall incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was not significantly different compared with that in the control group(P>0.05).CONCLUSION Freeze-dried recombinant human BNP therapy can improve heart function and enhance microinflammatory status,thereby improving overall quality of life without any obvious side effects.This therapy is safe and reliable.

文摘AIM: To evaluate the effects of positive regulation of recombinant human interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (rhIL-1Ra) on hepatic tissue recovery in acute liver injury in mice induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ). METHODS: Acute liver damage was induced by injecting 8-wk-old mice with CCl 4 1 mL/kg (1:3 dilution in corn oil) intraperitoneally (ip). Survival after liver failure was assessed by injecting 8-wk-old mice with a lethal dose of CCl 4 2.6 mL/kg (1:1 dilution in corn oil) ip. Mice were subcutaneously injected with 1 mg/kg recombinant human IL-1Ra twice a day after CCl 4 treatment for 5 d. Serum alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were determined with a commercial assay kit. Serum IL-1β, IL-1Ra levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to determine liver IL-1β, IL-1Ra and IL-6 expression during CCl 4-induced acute liver injury. Liver sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin. A histology-injury grading system was used to evaluate the degree of necrosis after acute liver injury. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) staining was used to evaluate the role of rhIL-1Ra in promoting hepatocyte proliferation. RESULTS: Quantitative analysis showed a higher level of IL-6 mRNA expression and reduced serum AST and ALT levels in the livers of the rhIL-1Ra-treated group at the early phase of CCl 4-induced acute liver injury. Histological examination indicated a decrease in centrilobular necrotic areas in mice treated with rhIL-1Ra, and a novel role of rhIL-1Ra in promoting hepatocyte proliferation was also supported by an increase of PCNA staining. All these results, accompanied by a strong survival benefit in rhIL-1Ra-treated vs PBS-treated groups, demonstrated that rhIL-1Ra administration ameliorated the histological damage and accelerated the regeneration and recovery process of the liver. CONCLUSION: rhIL-1Ra could be further developed as a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of acute liver injury because of its ability to reduce hepatocellular damage and facilitate liver regeneration.

文摘In order to observe the nutrition state in the severe multiple trauma patients undergoing adjuvant recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) nutritional support therapy, 45 patients with severe multiple traumas (ISS>25) were randomly divided into 3 groups. All the 3 groups had been supplied with nitrogen and caloricity according to the need of patients for 16 days. The rhGH therapy started 48 h after surgery and lasted for 14 days in two rhGH-treated groups in which rhGH was 0.2 and 0.4 U/(kg·d) respectively, and the resting group served as control one. The levels of nitrogen balance, prealbumin and safety variables (blood sugar, Na+, TT3 and TT4) were observed and com- pared among the three groups. The levels of nitrogen balance on the postoperative day (POD) 3 and 5 in the rhGH-treated groups were -1.28±3.19, 5.45±2.00 and -0.18±2.55, 6.11±1.60, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (-5.17±1.68 and -1.08±3.31, P<0.01). The values of prealbumin on the POD 3 and 5 in the rhGH-treated groups were 180.19±27.15, 194.44±50.82 and 194.94±29.65, 194.11±16.17, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (117.42±19.10 and 135.63±28.31, P<0.01). There was no sig- nificant difference between the rhGH 0.2 U/(kg·d) group and rhGH 0.4 U/(kg·d) group in both of the levels of nitrogen balance and prealbumin. It is concluded that the nutritional support therapy with adjuvant rhGH which starts 48 h after surgery improves the nutrition state of the patients with severe multiple trauma. It is safe for severe multiple trauma patients who accept rhGH at the dose of 0.2 and 0.4 U/(kg·d).
文摘The current study was designed to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic parameters of recombinant human parathyroid hormone [rhPTH (1-84)] used for the treatment of osteoporosis. In the single-dose format pharmacokinetic study, thirty-six healthy male volunteers received three dose levels of rhPTH (1-84) subcutaneously: 1, 2, and 4 μg/kg. The blood was timing drawn and the serum concentration of rhPTH (1-84) was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Serum concentration-time curves of PTH (1-84) exhibited a double-peak pattern, the first peak appearing about 10 to 30 min after administration and the second peak occurring about 1.5 to2 h after administration. Serum terminal half-time of PTH (1-84) was approximately 2 h. The parameters indicated the serum levels were directly proportional to the administered dose, with the mean Cmax and AUC0_24 ranging from approximately 543.47 to 1845 pg/mL and 2358.6 to 9232.12 pg.h.mL^-1 over the dose range. The drug was well tolerated, the clinical symptoms were generally mild and of short duration.

文摘BACKGROUND Chronic liver disease(CLD)related thrombocytopenia increases the risk of bleeding and poor prognosis.Many liver disease patients require invasive procedures or surgeries,such as liver biopsy or endoscopic variceal ligation,and most of them have lower platelet counts,which could aggravate the risk of bleeding due to liver dysfunction and coagulation disorders.Unfortunately,there is no defined treatment modality for CLD-induced thrombocytopenia.Recombinant human thrombopoietin(rhTPO)is commonly used to treat primary immune thrombocytopenic purpura and thrombocytopenia caused by solid tumor chemotherapy;however,there are few reports on the use of rhTPO in the treatment of CLD-related thrombocytopenia.AIM To evaluate the efficacy of rhTPO in the treatment of patients with CLDassociated thrombocytopenia undergoing invasive procedures.METHODS All analyses were based on the retrospective collection of clinical data of patients with CLD who were treated in the Department of Infectious Diseases at The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between June 2020 and December 2021.Fifty-nine male and 41 female patients with liver disease were enrolled in this study to assess the changes in platelet counts and parameters before and after the use of rhTPO for thrombocytopenia.Adverse events related to treatment,such as bleeding,thrombosis,and disseminated intravascular coagulation,were also investigated.RESULTS Among the enrolled patients,78(78%)showed a platelet count increase after rhTPO use,while 22(22%)showed no significant change in platelet count.The mean platelet count after rhTPO treatment in all patients was 101.53±81.81×10^(9)/L,which was significantly improved compared to that at baseline(42.88±16.72×10^(9)/L),and this difference was statistically significant(P<0.001).In addition,patients were further divided into three subgroups according to their baseline platelet counts(<30×10^(9)/L,30-50×10^(9)/L,>50×10^(9)/L).Subgroup analyses showed that the median platelet counts after treatment were significantly higher(P<0.001,all).Ninety(90%)patients did not require platelet transfusion partially due to an increase in platelet count after treatment with rhTPO.No serious adverse events related to rhTPO treatment were observed.Overall,rhTPO demonstrated good clinical efficacy for treating CLD-associated thrombocytopenia.CONCLUSION rhTPO can improve platelet count,reduce the risk of bleeding,and decrease the platelet transfusion rate,which may promote the safety of invasive procedures and improve overall survival of patients with CLD.
文摘The recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain stably expressing recombinant human glucagon-like peptide-l(rhGLP-1) analogue, as a potential oral drug delivery system for diabetes type II treatment, was successfully constructed by the homologous recombination between chromosomal DNA and yeast and integrating vector pNK-GLP containing yeast ribosomal DNA fragments. The amount of rhGLP-I analogue fusion protein in transformant SG2 reached ca. 0.84 mg per gram of packed cells when SG2 was grown for 24 h in the YPD medium with a inoculum and medium ratio of 1:1. Oral administration of 5 g lyophilized SG2/kg to hyperglycemic rats decreased serum glucose from (24.8±1.40) to (21.2±1.36) mmol/L.
文摘BACKGROUND Lung cancer is one of the deadliest cancers in the world with the highest incidence and mortality rate among all cancers.Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)accounts for approximately 80%of primary lung cancer.However,efficacy and safety of the current regimens for NSCLC is unsatisfactory.Therefore,there has been an increasing urgency for development of potential therapeutic therapies for NSCLC.AIM To investigate the therapeutic outcomes and safety of continuous intravenous infusion of recombinant human endostatin(Rh-endostain)using an infusion pump in retreated advanced NSCLC.METHODS Patients with retreated advanced NSCLC who were admitted to Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from October 2017 to April 2019 were recruited.These patients received continuous intravenous infusion of Rh-endostain using an infusion pump.Objective response rate(ORR),clinical benefit rate(CBR),median progression-free survival(mPFS),and incidences of adverse events(AEs)were analyzed after treatment.RESULTS A total of 45 patients with retreated advanced NSCLC were included,and all of them were evaluated.In these patients,ORR was 22.2%,CBR was 84.4%,and mPFS was 5.3 mo.The following AEs were observed,decreased hemoglobin(34 cases,75.6%),nausea/vomiting(32 cases,71.1%),elevated transaminase(24 cases,53.3%),leukopenia(16 cases,35.6%),thrombocytopenia(14 cases,31.1%),and constipation(1 case,3.4%).None of the patients had leukopenia,nausea/vomiting,and constipation of grade III and above.CONCLUSION The patients showed improved adherence to 5-d continuous intravenous infusion of Rh-endostain using an infusion pump.Favorable efficacy and safety of this treatment regimen were achieved in retreated advanced NSCLC.
文摘To assess the efficacy and the optimum dose of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEpo) on the anemia of premature, 45 preterm infants with a gestational age of less than 35 weeks and birth weight of less 1 800 g were randomly assigned to treatment group 1 (n = 15, receiving subcutaneous rhEpo 150 U/kg·time), treatment group 2 (n = 15, receiving 250 U/kg·time), three times a week for 6 weeks, and control group (n = 15, no treatment was given). All preterm infants received supplements of vitamin E (20 IU) and iron (20 mg) each day. Our results showed that postnatal decline of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct) were lessened in the treatment groups, particularly in the group 2 and the differences were very significant (P<0. 0001 for all). Treated infants had significantly higher reticulocyte counts (Ret) (P<0. 000] for all), but there was no significant difference between the two treatment groups (P>0. 05). Serum iron dropped significantly in the treatment groups as compared with control group (P<0. 01 for all), but no dose-dependent relationship was observed in treated infants (P>0. 05). After treatment, serum levels of erythropoietin was higher in group 2 than those in group 1 and control group (P<0. 0001, P<0. 01 and P<0. 05, respectively). There was no significant difference between group 1 and control group (P>0. 05). No side effects related to rhEpo therapy were observed. Our study suggested that rhEpo therapy stimulates endogenous erythro-poiesis and enhances Ret, Hct and level of Hb in a dose-dependent manner in premature infants. The therapy is more efficient when given in higher dosages.

文摘Intraperitoneal injection of recombinant human interleukin-2(rhIL-2)inhibits neuronal apoptosis in the chronic ocular hypertension retinal ganglion cell layer.Intravitreous injection was performed on retinal ganglion cells in a Wistar rat model of chronically elevated intraocular pressure to observe the effects of LY294002 and AG490 on retinal ganglion cell survival,macrophage activation,and PI3K/Akt and JAK/STAT activation.The number of retinal ganglion cells in the rhIL-2 treatment group was much greater than in the normal control and phosphate-buffered saline groups.Western blot analysis revealed low Akt and STAT3 protein expression in the retina after 3-hour intravitreous injections of rhIL-2.However,protein expression was increased at 12 hours,but decreased again at 24 hours,with very low expression at 96 hours.LY294002 and AG490,which are inhibitors of the PI3K/Akt and JAK/STAT3 signal pathways,prevented upregulation of Akt and STAT3 protein expression in the retina,respectively.Intravitreous injection of rhIL-2 exhibited neuroprotective effects by decreasing retinal ganglion cell layer damage in a rat model of chronic glaucoma.These results suggest that intravitreal injection of rhIL-2 could induce the PI3K/Akt and JAK/STAT3 signaling pathways to protect retinal ganglion cells in chronically elevated intraocular pressure models.

文摘Recombinant human interferon a2b(rhIFNa2b)is widely used as an antiviral therapy agent for the treatment of hepatitis B and hepatitis C.The current identification test for rhIFNa2b is complex.In this study,an anti-rhIFNa2b nanobody was discovered and used for the development of a rapid lateral flow strip for the identification of rhIFNa2b.RhIFNa2b was used to immunize an alpaca,which established a phage nanobody library.After five steps of enrichment,the nanobody I22,which specifically bound rhIFNa2b,was isolated and inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a.After subsequent purification,the physicochemical properties of the nanobody were determined.A semiquantitative detection and rapid identification assay of rhIFNa2b was developed using this novel nanobody.To develop a rapid test,the nanobody I22 was coupled with a colloidal gold to produce lateral-flow test strips.The developed rhIFNa2b detection assay had a limit of detection of 1 mg/mL.The isolation of I22 and successful construction of a lateral-flow immunochromatographic test strip demonstrated the feasibility of performing ligand-binding assays on a lateral-flow test strip using recombinant protein products.The principle of this novel assay is generally applicable for the rapid testing of other commercial products,with a great potential for routine use in detecting counterfeit recombinant protein products.
