Objective To establish HPLC method for the determination of the content of caffeic acid in Chanhou Tieshijin. Methods The determination was performed on HangBang C18 column (200 mm?4.6 mm, 5 ?m). The mobile phase was methanol-buffer phosphate (23∶77) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The UV detection wavelength was set at 323 nm and the sample size was 10 ?L. Results The linear range of caffeic acid was 0.052～0.26 ?g (r=0.999 8), with average recovery rate of 97.44% (RSD=0.78%). Conclusion The established method is simple, rapid and accurate, and suitable for the quality control of Chanhou Tieshijin.

Digestive tract reconstruction is the main part of gastrointestinal surgery. With the rapid development of technology and widely application in stapling device, more and more surgeons are using stapled anastomosis. Stapled anastomosis is associated with shorter operating time and hospital stay than hand-sewn anastomosis. However, it is not easy to select suitable ones from various staplers and use them correctly. Choice and reasonable application of staplers for anastomosis in gastrointestinal surgery are summarized and evaluated in this article.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of free fatty aids (FFAs) on the apoptosis and migration of human breast cancer cells ( MDA-MB-231 ).MethodsBreast cancer cells were exposed to oleic acid (OA) and palmitic acid (PA) with different concentrations (50,200,and 500 umol/L).Quantity RT-PCR was conducted to detect mRNA expression of PTEN,and Western blot to detect protein expression of PTEN and Bcl-2.Cell apoptosis was measured with TUNEL method,and migration measured with transwell method.ResultsThe mRNA and protein expressions of PTEN in MDA-MB-231 cells were down-regulated after OA stimulation,but up-regulated after PA stimulation ( all P ＜ 0.05 ).The protein expression of Bcl-2 increased after OA stimulation and decreased after PA stimulation ( both P ＜ 0.05 ).PA increased the apoptosis,and both OA and PA enhanced the invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells.ConclusionsPA may promote apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells through changing the expression of the tumor suppressor PTEN,but also increases the invasion of the cancer cells.The invasion of cancer cells could be enhanced by OA stimulation as well.

This paper summarizes the experiences of nursing care for children patients with Pavlik harness in the treatment of developmental hip dysplasia. Nurses attended to the children immediately after the diagnosis was identified. Cooperating with orthopedic surgeon,nursing care mainly focused on family health education,follow-up and guidance on how to prevent the leg from the position of over abduction,as well as guidance on daily life,skin care and positions being holded. As a result,43 children achieved stable reposition with Pavlik harness while 4 cases changed to manipulation reposition integrated with casting whose femoral head had not reduced to the acetabulum. No femoral head necrosis and limb contracture happened except 3 cases suffered from slight skin damage.

Objective　To investigate the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) gene and its significance in the process of glioma cell differentiation induced by nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA). Methods　Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization were used to detect the expression changes of GFAP protein and GFAP mRNA qualitatively and quantitatively. Results　The expression levels of GFAP protein and GFAP mRNA in NDGA treatment group were significantly increased compared with the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion　NDGA could induce GFAP gene in malignant glioma cells and the up-regulation of this gene expression might be one of the mechanisms by which NDGA induces glioma differentiation.

Objective:This paper intends to provide reference for consummation of biosimilar registration poli-cies in China. Methods:This paper evaluates the performance of Japanese registration regulation policies on biosimi-lars by analyzing the procedure and reviewing the features of biosimilars. Results and Conclusions:According to the findings of the present investigation, the availability and affordability of biosimilars have been improved, and the bio-medicine industry has achieved great development. On the other hand, it's recommended that the guideline for the de-velopment and evaluation of biosimilars should be amended on the principle of appropriate simplification, which means to simplify the research and development procedure and exempt partial application dossier. Besides, the regis-tration procedures should be adopted continuously to ensure the stability of biosimilars' R&D and registration.

Point-of-care testing ( POCT ) is a new area in the laboratory medicine.This article discusses the current situation in regulations , industry management , quality management , personnel management and training and other aspects of POCT in America and China.Then this article points out the challenges of POCT development in China , and further puts forward advanced measures and suggestions for improving POCT management system in China.

Stroke is one of the major diseases that threaten human health, early diagnosis and treatment are very important for stroke. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is measured noninvasively to diagnosis stroke, and it is a independent predictor for stroke because its thickening can timely predict the incidence and development of stroke. As an important predictor of cardiovascular disease, more and more attention is played on CIMT. In this review, we will make a summary on the important role of CIMT in stroke and the mechanisms of carotid intima-media thickening in stroke as well as the potential use of traditional Chinese medicine in treating carotid intima-media thickening.

Medical implant communication service (MICS) is a standardized short-range wireless communication with ultra low power consumption applied for medical implant devices,which has been widely used all over the world.It is necessary to establish a unified international MICS standard.This paper details ITU-R SA.1346 standard from four aspects of technical parameters,compatibility,anti-interference methods and reliability of data transmission,and introduces the applications of MICS standard in Europe and America.Furthermore,comparison and analysis of the technical criteria in the above areas is conducted.

Objective To investigate the alkaloidal constituents of Nauclea officinalis, an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial traditional Chinese herb. Methods The alkaloids were isolated and purified by silica gel, Sephadex LH20, and C-18 ODS column chromatography repeatedly, and their structures were identified by spectral analysis. Results Eleven alkaloids were isolated from the stems of N. officinalis and their structures were identified as angustoline (Ⅰ), 19-O-ethylangustoline (Ⅱ), 3-S-3, 4-dihydroangustoline (Ⅲ), 3-R-3, 4-dihydroangustoline (Ⅳ), naucleamide A (Ⅴ), strictosamide (Ⅵ), vincosamide (Ⅶ), 6′-acetyl-strictosamide (Ⅷ), 2′-acetyl-strictosamide (Ⅸ), pumiloside (Ⅹ), 3-epi-pumiloside (Ⅺ).
