Objective To establish an ICP-MS method for the determination of heavy metals,including copper(Cu),arsenium(As),cadmium(Cd) and plumbum(Pb),in five kinds of Chinese medicinal material.Methods The samples were digested by closed-vessel microwave.The four heavy metals were directly analyzed by ICP-MS,with elements 72Ge,115In,and 209Bi as the internal standards.Results For all of the analyzed heavy metals,the correlative coefficient of the calibration curves was in the range of 0.999 5～ 0.999 7.The recovery rates were in the range of 92.3 % ～ 108.0 %,and RSD were in the range of 2.4 % ～ 5.8 %.Conclusion The method is convenient,rapid,accurate and can be applied to determine four heavy metals,including Cu,As,Cd and Pb,in Chinese medicinal material.

Objective: To determine the changes of upper airway morphology induced by mandible position from central relation to advancement position in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Methods: Nineteen patients (17 males and 2 females) suffering from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome were confirmed with polysomnography. Occlusal wax record was made with mandible in advancement position. Helical computed tomography was performed on each patient in central relation and mandibular advancement position with wax record in situ respectively. On each slice, anteroposterior and transverse diameters were obtained. Airway shape was expressed as the anteroposterior/transverse (AP/T) diameter ratio. Paired samples t test was employed to compare the measurements. Results: With mandibular advancement, average and minimal diameters of glossopharynx and hypopharynx were increased significantly. Compared with it, the change of transverse diameter was more prominent. All segments of upper airway were increased significantly except hypophaynx laterally. Moreover, the change of velopharynx shape was observed on axial planes. Ellipse with transversal long axis became more compressed. Conclusion: Upper airway morphology of all segments was influenced by mandibular advancement whether in the sagittal or transverse plane of space, or airway shape. Not only anatomic connection but also regulation of the nerve system and other still unknown mechanism make contribution to the changes of upper airway morphology in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The changes of upper airway morphology above mentioned constitute the rationale of treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome with oral appliances.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO) on axon degeneration.(Methods: Cultured) rat superior cervical ganglia were treated with DMSO(100%,10 ?l) per well to disconnect axons from the cell bodies.SCGs in DMSO control group were treated with a mixture of DMSO(10 ?l) and medium (2 ml) per well;in positive control group were transfected with herpes simplex virus over-expressing Wld~S protein and the cell body was eliminated;and in blank control group were treated with 10 ?l PBS.The separated axons were fixed with 4% poly formaldehyde at 0,4,8,12 and 24 h after treatment with DMSO for immunostaining with specific antibody to microtubulin.Thus,the changes of axonal structure were investigated.The axonal protein was collected and the degeneration of neurofilament was detected by Western Blotting.Results: In DMSO disconnected group,the axonal morphology and structure showed no obvious change at 12 h post disconnection,but slight degeneration was observed at 24 h post disconnection.The degradation of microtubulin was obviously slowed down and their axonal structures maintained intact 12 h later.The neurofilament could be detected 12 h after disconnection.The above changes in disconnected group were similar to those in positive control group.No obvious protective effects on axonal degeneration were observed in blank and DMSO control groups.Conclusion: Local high concentration of DMSO can delay axonal degeneration,which indicates that DMSO can be used for adjuvant treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
