Blood samples were collected from 20 healthy volunteers after oral ad- ministration of 160 mg megestrol acetate dispersible tablets. The analytes were extracted by liq- uid-liquid extraction procedure and separated on a hanbon lichrospher column with the mobile phase of methanol and water containing 0.1% formic acid and 20 mmol/L ammonium acetate （5：1, v/v）. Positive ion electrospray ionization with multiple reaction-monitoring mode （MRM） was employed by monitor- ing the transitions m/z 385.5-325.4 and m/z 387.5-327.4 for megestrol and medrysone, respectively. Under the isocratic separation conditions, the chromatographic rim time was approximately 2.54 min for megestrol and 2.59 min for medrysone. The calibration curve range was from 0.5 to 200.0 ng/mL. The inter-batch and intra-batch precision and accuracy were less than 5.2% relative standard deviation （RSD） and 6.4% relative error （RE）. The proposed method was successfully applied in the bioequivalence study of megestrol acetate dispersible tablets.展开更多

The data of the two groups were compared (P < 0.05).Conclusion: megestrol is effective in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced vomiting of colorectal cancer, which can reduce the incidence of vomiting and improve the prognosis of patients.展开更多

Methods: One hundred and six girls with idiopathic precocious puberty were divided into 3 groups. The 51 girls in the TCMWM group were treated with Chinese herbal medicine combined with megestrol acetate (MA), 35 girls in the MA group treated with megestrol acetate alone, and 20 girls were taken as control group and given no treatment at all. Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) stimulating test were performed before and after treatment, and the size of the uterus and ovary, linear growth rate, X-ray bone age measurement and final height prediction were also observed simultaneously. Results: After treated with TCM-WM for 2.7 years in average,the luteinizing hormone (LH) peak value of LHRH stimulating test was reduced from 48. 5 ± 5. 2 IU/L to 12.2 ± 1. 3 IU/L, size of uterus and ovary decreased, secondary sexual characteristics regressed, the bone age difference/chronological age difference value (ΔBA/ΔCA) reduced from 1. 35 ± 0. 09 to 0. 65 ± 0. 05 and predictive final height increased from 153. 3 ± 0. 5 cm to 158. 5 ± 0. 6 cm. Conclusion: TCM-WM therapy could not only modulate the function of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and the development of internal genitalia, but also could decelerate skeletal growth, delay skeletal maturation, and thereby prevent premature epiphyseal fusion and increase the final height of patients.展开更多

The treated group were tr eated with arsenious acid combined with Tα-1 thymus peptide and megestrol ac etate, and the control group were treated with chemotherapy in the NP protocol .Results: (1) Therapeutic effect :In the 36 patients of the treated group, 2 were evaluated as CR, 8 as PR, 9 as MR, 8 as SD and 9 as PD, the CR+PR rate being 27.7% (10/36), while in the 40 patients of the control group, the co rresponding numbers were 3, 10, 11, 9, 7 and 32.5% (13/40). Comparison between t he CR+PR rate between the two groups showed insignificant difference ( P >0.05 ). (2)Clinical benefit rate: The positive rate of Karnofsky scores in the treate d group and the control group was 44.4% and 20.0% respectively; and the positive rate of body weight in the two groups was 33.3% and 12.5% respectively, the dif ference between the two groups was significant ( all P <0.05). (3)Changes of T- cell subsets and NK cell activity: CD4 and CD4/CD8 ratio after treatment i n the treated group increased significantly ( P <0.05), while in the control group, CD3, CD4, CD4/CD8 ratio and NK cell activity all lowered significantly ( P <0.01). Comparison between the two groups after treatment showed significa nt difference in CD4, CD4/CD8 ratio and NK cell activity, with those in the trea ted group all higher than those in the control group ( P <0.01). (4)Adeverse -reaction: No serious adverse reaction was found in both two groups. (5)Media n survival period:The treated group was 30 weeks and that in the control group w as 28.5 weeks, and the difference between the two groups was insignificant ( P >0.05).Conclusion: Arsenious acid combined with Tα-1 thymus peptide and megestrol acetate was a relatively effective scheme with low toxicity in tre ating advanced NSCLC.展开更多
