Objective To study the pharmacokinetics difference of levofloxacin polymorphs in rats, evaluate the advantageous medical polymorph,and explore the effects of different polymorphs on clinical medicine. Methods Four crystal forms of levofloxacin were administered intragastrically to rats,and high performance liquid chromatography( HPLC)was used to measure the contents of levofloxacin in rat plasma. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and compared Results After a single oral dose,the peak plasma concentration(Cmax)of crystal forms ofⅠ,Ⅱ,ⅢandⅣof levofloxacin was 6. 984,9. 692,9. 405,6.424 mg·L-1;the time to peak(tmax)was 0.6,0.9,1.0,1.0 h;the half-life(t1/2)was 4.207,2.97,4.857,1.695 h;theareaunderthecurve(AUC0→12h)was31.478,42.385,32.406,31.636mg·h·L-1. Conclusion Thereisnostatistically significant difference in pharmacokinetic parameters. However,compared with other crystal forms,plasma concentration of crystal form II is higher and maintained longer. Therefore,crystal form II of levofloxacin is an advantageous polymorph for medicine.

Objective To explore the effect of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IOPTH) examination on parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism.Methods The clinical data of 41 PHPT patients who received IOPTH monitoring (IOPTH group) from Jan.2009 to Dec.2014 were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical manifestation,examination and changes of parathyroid hormone and calcium before and after operation were collected.Results There were 12 males and 29 females.36 cases had parathyroid adenoma,and 5 cases were parathyroid carcinoma.23 cases were positive in 24 cases of 99Icm-MIBI parathyroid adenoma radionuclide examination,and 2 cases were positive in 3 cases of parathyroid carcinoma radionuclide 99Tcm-MIBI inspection (P＝ 0.213).10 mins after tumor resection,PTH in all cases decreased by 50％ or more than that before tumor resection except for one case of parathyroid carcinoma.23 cases appeared hypocalcemia in 36 cases of parathyroid adenoma after surgery and 2 cases appeared hypocalcemia in 5 cases of parathyroid cancer patients (P＝0.361).No postoperative hoarseness,cough,bleeding occoured.Patients were followed up from 6 to 72 months.Hypocalcemia symptoms recovered 2 weeks to 3 months after surgery.No permanent hypoparathyroidism occured.One case of parathyroid carcinoma died of hypercalcemia 5 months after surgery.The remaining 40 cases survived without recurrence or death.Conclusions Intraoperative PTH monitoring can help doctors analyze whether all the hyperthyroidism glands have been removed,which can help to avoid miss diagnosis of multiple gland disease and unnecessary bilateral neck exploration.This method is highly accurate so it is recommended for routine use in PHPT surgery.

Different polymorphs of drugs have different molecular arrangements or molecular forces. Raman spectroscopy can reflect the change of molecular polarizability and can be used for the detection of drug polymorphs. The technology has been recorded for the analysis of polymorphism in European Pharmacacopoeia, British Pharamacopoeia and Chinese pharmacopoeia. This review focuses on the application of Raman spectroscopy in the study of pharmaceutical polymorphism. The advances in Raman spectroscopy in the qualitative, quantitative and dynamic processes of drug polymorphism are summarized and analyzed systematically, aiming to provide reference for researchers in related fields.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness, safety and cost between urinary follicle stimulating hormone (uFSH) and recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in China.Methods:Data were collected from 16 reproductive centers in China covering oocytes collection time from May 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018. Eligible patients were over 18 years old, adopting COS with uFSH (uFSH group) or rFSH (rFSH group) as start gonadotropins (Gn), and using in vitro fertilization (IVF) and (or) intracytoplasmic sperm injection for fertilisation, excluding frozen embryo recovery cycle. Generalised estimating equation was used to address the violation of independency assumption between cycles due to multiple IVF cycles for one person and clustering nature of cycles carried out within one center. Controlling variables included age, body mass index, anti-Müllerian hormone level, cause of infertility, ovulation protocol, type of fertilisation, number of embryos transferred, number of days of Gn use.Results:Totally 102 061 cycles met eligibility criteria and were included in the analyses. In terms of effectiveness, after controlling relevant unbalanced baseline characteristics, compared with rFSH group, the high oocyte retrieval (>15 oocytes was considered high retrieval) rate of uFSH group significantly decreased in gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist protocol ( OR=0.642, P<0.01) and in gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol ( OR=0.556, P=0.001), but the clinical pregnancy rate per transfer cycle and the live birth rate per transfer cycle significantly increased ( OR=1.179, OR=1.169, both P<0.01) in both agonist and antagonist protocols. For safety, multiple analysis result demonstrated that in the agonist protocol, compared with rFSH group, the incidence of moderate to severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome of uFSH group significantly decreased ( OR=0.644, P=0.002). The differences in ectopic pregnancy rate and multiple pregnancy rate between the uFSH and rFSH groups were not significant ( P=0.890, P=0.470) in all patients. In terms of cost, compared with rFSH group, the uFSH group had lower total Gn costs for each patient ( P<0.01). Conclusion:For patients who underwent COS, uFSH has better safety, and economic profiles over rFSH in China.
