BACKGROUND:There are less reports about the external use of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) hydrogel to repair thick skin graft donor sites. By now, relevant self-control studies have not been retrieved. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of rhGM-CSF on the repair of thick skin graft donor sites. METHODS:Sixty patients with burns and scar hyperplasia undergoing autologous thick skin grafting were enroled, 47 males and 13 females, aged 18-65 years. The thigh was selected as donor sites. According to the depth of donor sites, the patients were divided into 0.4 mm and 0.55 mm groups, with 30 cases in each group. Wounds on the symmetric areas with equal area and same depth were selected or wounds with same depth were selected and divided equaly. The wounds were randomly assigned into treatment group and control group. The treatment group was treated with rhGM-CSF hydrogel externaly; the control group was only given vaseline dressing. At postoperative 3, 7, 10, 14 days, the fresh dressing was changed. Then, the wound appearance, healing time, healing rate and adverse effects were observed in the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 14 days after operation, the wound surface was smoother and the pigmentation was relatively less in the treatment group compared with the control group; the degree of wound pain
was less in the treatment group than the control group during dressing change (P < 0.05). At 10 and 14 days after operation, the healing rate and healing time were better in the treatment group than the control group (P < 0.05). No general malaise or hypersensitivity cases were reported, and local issue hyperplasia was also not found. Al the above indicate that the external use of the rhGM-CSF hydrogel can evidently shorten the healing time and improve the healing condition when it is applied in the thick skin graft donor sites.

Objective:To explore the vailation of serum sP-selectin,sE-selectin,levels in the patients of pre-diabetic,simple type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and T2DM with coronary heartdisease(CAD).To investigate the possible mechanism that sP-selectin, sE-selectin accelerate type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: Level of serum sP-selectin, sE-selectin was assayed by ELISA in type 2 diabetes with or without coronary heart disease (32 and 34 cases respectively),pre-diabetic (32 cases) and control group(32 cases). Meanwhile BMI,BP,FBS,FINS,TG,CHO,HDL-C,LDL-C,HbA1C were determined in all cases as well as in control group.Results:The serum levels of sP-selectin and sE-selectin in pre-diabetic,type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without coronary heart disease groups were significantly higher than the control group ( P<0.01 ).There was significant positive correlation between serum levels of sP-selectin,sE-selectin and these items including FBG ,FINS,TG,HbA1C,HOMA-IR(P<0.01);but sE-selectin was negatively correlated with HDL-C (P<0.05).Conclusion:sP-selectin,sE-selectin,are risk factors in the initiation and progression of pre-diabetic,type 2 diabetes with or without coronary heart disease;sP-selectin and sE-selectin possibly accelerate type 2 diabetes by inducing insulin resist-ance.

Objective To observe the effects of icarisid Ⅱ (ICS Ⅱ)on cognitive deficits and expression of synaptophysin(SYN)in chronic cerebral hypoperfusion(CCH)rat models.Methods 40 male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:normal group,sham operation group,model group and ICSⅡgroup.The model was established by permanent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion(BCCAO).ICS Ⅱ group was administered ICS Ⅱ at a dose of 8mg·kg -1 ·d -1 by gavage on 1st day after modeling.Sham group and CCH group were injected double -distilled water.The escape latency(s)and spatial probe times were measured by water maze test.Then,the morphology change and expression of SYN in hippocampal were assayed by HE and immunohistochemistry analysis.Results At the 1st month and 2nd month,the escape latency in the model group[(40.02 ±4.95)s,(42.29 ±5.75)s]were significantly prolonged compared with the sham operation group[(26.43 ±2.68)s,(26.84 ±2.06)s](t =4.89,5.06,all P <0.05).And those in the ICS Ⅱ group[(30.58 ±3.03)s,(29.19 ±4.23)s]were significantly decreased compared with the model group(t =3.63,4.10,all P <0.05).The space probe times in the model group[(2.6 ±0.89)times, (2.40 ±1.14)times]were significantly reduced compared with the sham operation group[(6.00 ±2.16)times, (5.75 ±2.16)times](t =3.23,4.18,P <0.05).And those in the ICS Ⅱ group[(4.40 ±1.34)times,(5.00 ± 1.58)times]were significantly increased compared with the model group (t =2.49,2.98,all P <0.05).The average optical density of SYN in hippocampal in the model group[CA1:(0.121 ±0.009),(0.122 ±0.008);CA3:(0.172 ± 0.028),(0.173 ±0.021 )]were significantly reduced compared with the sham operation group[CA1:(0.131 ± 0.006),(0.136 ±0.007);CA3:(0.218 ±0.035),(0.204 ±0.018)](t =2.43,2.53,3.12,2.34,P <0.05). Those in the ICS Ⅱ group[CA1:(0.131 ±0.006),(0.132 ±0.006);(0.212 ±0.02),(0.208 ±0.022)]were significantly increased compared with model group(t =2.41,2.41,2.31,2.77,all P <0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference of those index between the normal group and sham operation group(P >0.05 ). Conclusion ICS Ⅱ can improve the cognitive deficits in CCH rat models and this effect may be associated with increased expressions of SYN in hippocampal.

Aim To establish a LC-MS/MS method for the determination of pirfenidone(BT)and its major metabolite 5-carboxy-pirfenidone(SBT)in human plasma.Methods Human plasma samples containing BT and SBT,as well as their corresponding deuterium-labeled internal standards pirfenidone-d5(dBT)and 5-carboxy-pirfenidone-d5(dSBT),were precipitated using methanol.Chromatographic separation was carried out on an Agilent ZORBAX SB C18(3.0 mm×100 mm,3.5 μm)column with the mobile phase of water(0.5％formic acid)and acetonitrile(50/50).The detection of analytes was performed on a tandem mass system equipped with an electrospray ionization source in positive ion mode using multiple-reaction monitoring.The MS/MS ion transitions monitored were m/z 185.958→77.1 for BT,m/z 215.944→77.0 for SBT,m/z 190.965→81.1 for dBT and m/z 220.948→99.1 for dSBT.Results There was no remarkable interference in blank solvent,plasma,and there was no mutual interference between analytes or internal standards.The proposed method showed good linearity over the concentration range of 0.020 59～25.14 mg·L-1 for BT and 0.016 73～20.42 mg·L-1 for SBT.The intra-batch and inter-batch precision and accuracy were proved to be acceptable.Human samples kept stable after 4 h at room temperature,the three freeze-thaw cycles and 10,29 and 52 days at-70 ℃,and the processed samples remained stable after 24 h in the autosampler.The average extraction recovery and matrix effect were precise,reproducible and acceptable.Conclusion Our current LC-MS/MS method is proved to be sensitive,accurate and convenient,and could be suitable for the clinical pharmacokinetic studies of BT-related preparations.

Aim To establish a LC-MS/MS method for the determination of hydroxysafflor yellow A ( QA ) in human plasma. Methods After being added into 0. 2M ammonium acetate (1∶1,V/V), QA was extrac-ted using solid-phase extraction technique, and the eluent was directly injected into LC-MS/MS systems. Agilent ZORBAX SB C18 (3. 0 × 100 mm, 3. 5 μm) column and isocratic elution system composing of meth-anol and 0. 2 mM ammonium acetate (70 ∶ 30, V/V) provided chromatographic separation of QA and internal standard isorhamnetin-3-O-neohespeidoside ( SLS) fol-lowed by detection with mass spectrometry. The mass transition ion-pair was followed as m/z 611 . 131→490. 900 for QA and m/z 623. 032→298. 800 for SLS. Results The retention time of QA and SLS was 2. 7 min and 3. 9 min respectively, with no interference in human blank plasma. The proposed method showed good linearity over the concentration range of 8. 57 ~4185 μg·L-1 for QA with a correlation coefficient≥ 0 . 9949 . The lower limit of quantitation was 8. 570 μg ·L-1 . The intra-batch and inter-batch precision and accuracy were within 7%. The average matrix effect ranged from 115. 72% to 119. 06% with RSD less than 5%. The average extraction recovery ranged from 77. 75% to 80. 76% with RSD less than 5%. Stability of human samples after 4 h at room temperature, after the three freeze-thaw cycles and after 31 days at -70℃, and post-preparative stability of the processed sam-ples after 24 h was acceptable. Plasma samples with the concentration beyond the upper quantitation limit could be accurately determined after being diluted using 6. 25 times ( V/V ) of human blank plasma. Conclusion Our current LC-MS/MS method is sensitive, accurate and convenient, and is proved to be suitable for the sys-tematic study on clinical pharmacokinetics of QA.
