Objective:To establish an HPLC method for the determination of the related substances in nimesulide granules. Meth-ods:An Agilent HC-C18(250 mm ×4.6 mm,5 μm)column was used, the mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile-0.01 mol ·L-1 ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (adjusting pH to 7. 0 with ammonia) (40:60) and the detection wavelength was 230 nm, the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 ,the column temperature was 30℃, and the injection volume was 20μl. Results:The linear range of nimesu-lide was 0. 10-0. 30 mg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9). Nimesulide and its related substances could be well separated with the peak separation degree above 2. 0. The limit of detection and the limit of quantification was 0. 3 ng and 1. 0 ng, respectively. Conclusion:The method is simple, accurate and reproducible, which can be used for the quality control of nimesulide granules.

The natural history of chronic HBV infection is diverse and variable, ranging from inactive carriers to progressive chronic hepatitis B ( CHB), cirrhosis and hepatocelluar carcinoma.It is estimated that 93 million people are chronically infected with HBV and 20 million cases suffering from chronic hepatitis B in China.Hepatocelluar carcinoma has been the second leading cause of death for male in China.Liver cirrhosis and HCC which have high mortality and morbidity have become the heavy burden for the limited medication resource of China.Here the current clinical applications and consensus progression based on antigen and nuclear acid detection were acknowledged.The reasonable application as well as appropriate clinical interpretation are emphasized indicating that laboratory medicine practitioners should be more actively involved in clinical diagnosis and treatment.More efforts and contributions should be made by the laboratory medicine practitioner for optimizing clinical management of HBV-related diseases in future.

Objective To evaluate the quality of the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in two key Chineze journals on clinical nutrition.Methods The articles published in CHINESE JOURNAL OF CLIN-ICAL NUTRlTION and PARENTERAL & ENTERAL NUTRITION from 2000 to 2008 were reviewed and the RCTs were identified according to criteria of the handbook of Cochrane Collaboration.The Jadad scale was used to evalu-ate the quality of these RCTs.Results Totally 238 RCT articles were published in these two journals in this peri-od.The Jadad score of all RCT articles was 1.65±0.82.Twenty-eight articles (11.76%) were of high quality and only 5 articles (2.10%) were identified 5 points.There were some problems in the RCTs design,conduction and analyses included unclear randomization methods,poor comparison,lack of inclusion and exclusion criteria.less blinding employment,unclear withdrawals and dropouts,and improper sample size.Conclusion The design and quality control of Chinese clinical nutrition RCTs still have some problems and require further improvement.

During cell apoptosis,a series of characteristic changes occur in the cell configuration and,according to recent findings,in the cytoskeleton as well,including degradation,condensing and maldistribution of the cytoskeleton reticular formation.Through investigations of the biological activity and function of the cytoskeleton protein,the dynamic changes of the cytoskeleton during cell apoptosis and related regulatory factors,we found that the change of configuration is based on that of the cytoskeleton during cell apoptosis,which suggests that we can achieve the purpose of curing tumors and other diseases by inducing cell apoptosis through changing the cytoskeleton configuration.

Aim To investigate the effects and mechanisms of DMA on cardiac function in cardiomegaly rat isolated hearts.Methods With Langendorff perfusion,the changes in the indicators reflecting cardiac function were observed in cardiomegaly rat isolated hearts.Its probable mechanism was explored with calcium channel blocker and sodium calcium exchange(NCX) blockers.Results DMA(0.5～2 ?mol?L~(-1))enchanced cardiac function and exerted positive effects on LVSP-LVDP,+dp/dt_(max)and-dp/dt_(max) in Langendorff-perfused cardiomegaly rat isolated hearts.The effects of DMA on cardiac function in cardiomegaly rat isolated hearts weren′t blocked by nicardipine-one of calcium channel blockers and were blocked by NiCl_2——one of sodium calcium exchange(NCX) blockers.Conclusion DMA can enhance systolic and diastolic function in cardiomegaly rat isolated hearts.By agitating NCX,DMA enhances cardiac function in cardiomegaly rat isolated hearts,independent of L-calcium channel.

Objective To explore the optimal method of anesthesia in radical resection of gastric cancer by comparing the effects of two anesthesia techniques on the balance of Th1/Th2 in order to provide evidence for clinical anesthesia manage-ment.Methods Forty patients who underwent elective radical resection of gastric cancer were randomized into two groups:in-halation anesthesia group(group S)and total intravenous anesthesia group(group P),in which sevoflurane and propofol were ad-ministered for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia,respectively.The general data of the patients were collected,the tis-sue type of tumors obtained and the fluid infusion and blood loss volumes recoded.The VAS score was obtained 1 h,6 h and 5 d after the surgery.Before the induction of anesthesia,6 h and 5 d after surgery,the blood samples were drawn to determine the serum levels of IL-1β,IFN-γ,TNF-α,IL-2,IL-6 and IL-10.Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of CD3+CD8-IFN-γ+ and CD3+CD8-IL-10+ cells and the Th1/Th2 ratio was calculated.Results The level of IL-6 was increased post-sur-gically in groups S and P(P<0.05).There were no significant changes in the levels of IL-1β,IL-2 and IL-10 in groups S and P and in the levels of TNF-αand IFN-γ,and the Th1/Th2 ratio in group S between before the induction of anesthesia and different time points after the surgery(P>0.05).The levels of TNF-αand IFN-γ,and the Th1/Th2 ratio were significantly increased in group P 5 d after the surgery(P<0.05).Conclusion Total intravenous anesthesia with propofol can enhance Th1 response and it is an ideal anesthetic method for radical resection of gastric cancer.
