Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can be used to both identify and quantify chemicals from complex mixtures. Over the last several decades, significant technical and experimental advances have made quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR) a valuable analytical tool for quantitative measurements of a wide variety of samples. This particular approach is now being exploited to characterize the metabolomes of many different biological samples and is called quantitative metabolomics or targeted metabolic profiling. In this review, some of the strengths, limitations of NMR-based quantitative metabolomics will be discussed as well as the practical considerations necessary for acquisition with an emphasis on their use for bioanalysis. Recent examples of the application of this particular approach to metabolomics studies will be also presented.

Objective To investigate the preventive effect of midazolam pretreatment against neurotoxicity of ropivacaine and the underlying mechanism. Methods Thirty male SD rats aged 4-6 months weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups with 10 animals in each group: group Ⅰ blank control; group Ⅱ ropivacaine (R) and group Ⅲ midazolam-ropivacaine (M-R). In group R and M-R 0.75% ropivacaine was infused i.v. at a rate of 0.5 ml?min-1 until the animal developed convulsion. The animals were killed and brains were immediately removed for detennination of glutamate, aspartate, glycine and GABA content in the brain. Venous blood samples were taken for determination of pH and plasma concentration of lactate. The total amount of ropivacaine infused was calculated.Results The plasma lactate concentration was significantly higher and pH was significantly lower in group R than in blank control group. The concentrations of the 4 amino acids in the brain were significantly increased in group R and M-R as compared with the blank control group. The aspartate, glycine and GABA contents in the brain were significantly lower in M-R group than in R group. The total amount of ropivacaine infused i.v. was significant larger in group M-R than in group R.Conclusion Midazolam pretreatment can prevent the neurotoxicity of ropivacaine by modulating the balance between excitatory and inhibitory amino acids.

Gold nanostructures with unique optical and photo-thermal properties based on their size and shape have wide applica-tion potential in tumor diagnosis, imaging, photo-thermal therapy, and drug delivery because of surface plasmon resonance. The optical properties of gold nanomaterials allow its use for dark field imaging, optical coherence tomography, and two-photon imaging. Gold nanomaterials can also be used as carriers for a variety of fluorescent molecules and drugs, achieving multifunctional imaging, chemo-therapy, photodynamic therapy, and so on. Photon-electron and electron-electron interactions of gold nanomaterials, which are excited by near-infrared laser, will generate heat that can be used for tumor photothermal therapy. This phenomenon promotes drug release, and photoacoustic imaging. The combined application of hyperthermia and chemotherapy based on gold nanoparticles is effective in opti-mizing the efficacy of cancer treatments. Therefore, gold nanoparticles can integrate multiple functions into one single system and real-ize the integration of tumor diagnosis and therapy, which provide new insights for the on-demand therapy and personalized medicine de-velopment. This study reviews the recent progress of several gold nanoparticles in the integrated applications for tumor theranostics, in-cluding gold nanoshells, gold nanorods, hollow gold nanospheres, gold nanocages, and gold nanostars. The major strategies of gold nanomaterials in biomedical applications are also discussed.

Objective To investigate the relationship between hereditary deafness and SLC26A4 gene IVS16+10C>T mutation.Methods One hundred and two patients with hereditary deafness admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical College from January 2014 to May 2016 were enrolled and assigned as the observation group, and another 102 cases with normal hearing were selected as the control group. The gene mutation types and hearing thresholds were detected in the two groups and compared between them, the mutations of alleles 1 and 2 situations of patients with GJB2 and SLC26A4 mutations were analyzed, Ab initio software was used to predict whether there was obstacle preventing the recognition on slice sites, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was adopted to detect the common mutation types of SLC26A4 gene.Results In 102 patients with hereditary deafness, the cases caused by SLC26A4 gene mutations were more than those caused by GJB2 gene mutations (30 cases vs. 15 cases). Compared with the normal hearing control group, the mutation rates of GJB2 and SLC26A4 genes were significantly increased in the observation group [GJB2: 14.71% (15/102) vs. 2.94% (3/102), SLC26A4: 29.41% (30/102) vs. 1.96%(2/102), bothP <0.01], and there was a tendency that the percentages of GJB2 and SLC26A4 mutations were increased (GJB2: 0.98%, 1.96%, 4.90%, 6.86%, SLC26A4: 4.90%, 6.86%, 7.84%, 9.80%) with the increase of the severity of deafness (mild—moderate—severe—extreme severe) in the observation group. Compared with the control group, the hearing threshold was significantly increased (dB: 67.83±8.96 vs. 10.43±2.89,P < 0.01), and along with the increase of deafness severity (mild—moderate—severe—extreme severe), the hearing threshold (dB) was increased (34.96±4.98, 58.42±10.61, 83.96±12.17, 96.77±11.42, respectively) in the observation group. Thirty patients with SLC26A4 gene did not show any IVS16+10C>T mutation, indicating that IVS16+10C>T gene mutation was not the cause of genetic deafness.Conclusion There is no obvious relationship between the IVS16+10C>T mutation of SLC26A4 gene and patients with hereditary deafness, which may provide a basis clinically for the prediction of deafness occurrence in the patient's next generation.
