AIM To compare the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of between capsule and solution of benzoylmetronidazole. METHODS Ten chinese healthy male volunteers in a randomized 2-way crossover study were given a single oral dose 960 mg capsule(test) and solution (control) respectively. The serum concentrations of metronidazole, one of the metabolites of benzoylmetronidazole, was measured by high performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS The serum concentration-time curves appeared one-compartment open model. The results of the capsule and the solution of benzoylmetronidazole showed that T max (5.10?1.60) h and (3.12?0.90) h; C max (5.32?0.87) mg?L -1 and (6.51?1.25) mg?L -1 ; T 12 (10.56?1.75) h and (10.16?1.65) h; AUC (106.96?19.62) mg?h -1 ?L -1 and (113.59?19.84) mg?h?L -1 . CONCLUTION No significant difference appears in the pharmacokinetic parameters between the two formulations except of T max and C max ( P

This article unscrambled the concept of pathogenesis theory,through textual research of literatures,directly explained the concept connotation.From the relationship between pathogenesis and symptom differentiation and the innovation of pathogenesis theory of doctors in past dynasties,it demonstrated the possibility that pathogenesis theory was the innovation breakthrough point of traditional Chinese medicine theory.It proposed the conjecture that pathogenesis was the "saddle point" "sensitive point" of traditional Chinese medicine is theory,and proposed several assume about pathogenesis theory study.

Objective To study the clearance of high risk human papillomavirus(HPV)infection among the women with normal cervical pathologic diagnosis.Methods One hundred and seventy.two HPV-positive cases with normal cervical pathologic diagnosis were enrolled in the study.The infection status of HPV was monitored during follow-up from Aug 2006 to Aug 2008.The time of HPV infection spontaneous clearance,as well as effect factors,were analyzed.Results During follow-up,there were 62.2%(107 cases,107/172) of the HPV infection cleared.The medium clearance time was 11.3 months(95% CI:10.6-16.6 months).The medium clearance time of aged<30 years,30-39 years,40-49 years and>49 years were 11.3,12.0,10.9 and 8.5 months.respectively.There were not significant difference among aged intervals (P=0.384).The virus copies of HPV-clearance cases and persistent-infection were 22.6 and 95.0,respectively.There was not significant difference between groups(P=0.061).Conclusions Most of the high risk HPV infection with normal cervical pathologic diagnosis would spontaneously cleared.Age and HPV copies may play little role in the HPV clearance.

Evidence-based medicine(EBM) emphasizes that the clinical practice should be based on the combination of the best available clinical evidence,medical experiences and patient desire to cope with the demand of medical decision-making.Guidelines for good clinical(research) practice,conduct of more trials as multicentre trials,and the cochran collaboration may all help apply the best research evidence to clinical practice.China is challenged by variety of health problems.The implementation of EBM will improve the decision-making and health care services and protect the doctors and patients rights.

Objective To report a method for preparation of saturated oligosaccharides from al- ginate. Methods The alginate was degraded by acid hydrolysis, followed by fractionation at pH 2.85 resulting in the homopolyguluronic acids (PG) and homopolymannuronic acids (PM). The alginate-derived homopolymers were further degraded by acid hydrolysis at pH 3.8, 120 ℃ for 3 h, and at pH 4, 120 ℃ for 4 h, respectively. The resulted acidic hydrolysates were separated by gel permeation chromatography to get oligosaccharide fractions, and the oligosaccharides were obtaind by repeated purification on gel chromatography. The structures of the oligosaccharides were characterized by analyses of infra-red spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR), and mass spectrometry (MS). Results It was showed that the derived oligosaccharides were in saturated structures with the same structure characteristics as the original alginate macromolecule. Conclusion The method des cribed in this paper is a effective and convenient approach for the preparation of low-molecular-weight oligosaccharides from alginate.

The prevalence of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) associated with EV71 and the genetic variation in Fujian , China from 2003 to 2012 was investigated in this study .Descriptive epidemiology was used to analyze the epidemiologic and clinical features of AFP cases associated with EV 71 .Phylogenetic analysis was performed to explore the genetical characteris-tics of EV71 based on the complete VP1 nucleotide and amino acid sequences .Results showed that the mean incidence of EV71-associated AFP in children under 15 years old was 2 .24/10 000 000 in Fujian Province during 2003 and 2012 ,based on the number of EV71 isolates and the reported AFP cases .And the incidence has increased since 2008 .The EV71 strains isolated from the AFP cases or from the healthy contacts were distributed in 9 prefectures of Fujian Province ,most in the months of May and June .Of 76 .0% (19/25) of AFP cases associated with EV 71 were the children under 3 years and the male-to-female ratio was 1 .5 :1 .Twenty out of twenty-two cases (90 .91% ) had fevers before the onset of paralysis .Most cases had unilater-al limb paralysis (14/22 ,63 .6% ) .Typical manifestations of hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD) were observed in five cases before the onset of paralysis .Residual paralysis was observed in two cases during the follow-up visits .The strains isolated from 25 cases belonged to genotype C4 .All other strains belonged to subtype C4a except the subtype C4b strains isolated in 2003 .The homology among the strains was high in 2009-2011 ,and the homology among these strains and the representative strains in Fuyang ,Anhui Province was also in the high level .Therefore ,it was possible that the isolated strains had the same origin and might cause the epidemic .In conclusion ,an AFP surveillance system could be developed for analyzing the incidence of AFP associated with EV71 ,determining the features of the isolates ,and describing the intensity and trends of EV71 epidem-ics .

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the transient outward potassium channel protein expression in paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and its contribution to renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) in rats with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS:A rat model of CHF was prepared by acute myocardial infarction that was induced by ligation of the left ante -rior descending coronary artery .Four weeks after heart failure , echocardiogram was applied to identify the CHF model and plasma norepinephrine (NE), serum NH2-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were detected by ELISA. The expression of ransient outward potassium channel proteins Kv 4.2 and Kv4.3 at mRNA and protein levels was deter-mined by real-time PCR and Western blot .The mean arterial pressure ( MAP) , heart rate ( HR) and RSNA were measured in anesthetized rats with PVN microinjection of potassium channel blockers 4-AP.RESULTS:In CHF group , the rat car-diac function and Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 expression in PVN were obviously lower while plasma NE and serum NT-proBNP were obviously higher than those in sham group .Microinjection of 4-AP into PVN induced an increase in MAP , HR and RSNA in both sham and CHF rats , while the CHF rats exhibited smaller responses to 4-AP than sham-operated rats .CONCLU-SION:Downregulation of Kv4.2 and Kv4.3 expression in the PVN may be a potential mechanism for sympathoexciation in the rats with chronic heart failure .

Objective: To investigate the first family cluster of COVID-19 in Lanzhou, so as to provide basis for improving the COVID-19 outbreak prevention capacity. Methods : On January 23, the First Hospital of Lanzhou University reported two suspected cases of COVID-19.According to the COVID-19 Epidemiological Investigation Plan ( second edition ) , general information, disease diagnosis and treatment, clinical symptoms, laboratory test results, household environment, exposure history and close contacts were collected to figure out the source of infection and routes of transmission. Results: This family cluster lasted 29 days, from January 23 to February 21, reporting nine confirmed cases ( one death ) and one asymptomatic case. There were three imported cases from Wuhan, who were the source of the cluster; and seven secondary cases, who all had close contact with the imported cases during daily life or through having dinners. The secondary attack rate was 41.18% ( 7/17 ) . Among 9 confirmed cases, the incubation period ranged from four to ten days, with a median of nine days. Except for seven secondary cases, 24 close contacts were found and detected negative in the nucleic acid tests. Conclusions The first family cluster of COVID-19 in Lanzhou is caused by the imported cases from Wuhan. All the secondary cases have had dinners and/or had contact with the imported cases, thus they are infected through respiratory droplets and close contact.
