Objective To observe the effect of different doses of butorphanol and sufentanil repeatedly epidural injected on the neurobehavior function in bone cancer model rats.Methods A PE-530 catheter was inserted into the epidural space of all male Sprague-Dawley rats(not mated,weighting 150-180 g) at L1-2 level.Three days after operation,64 rats without any motor dysfunction were randomly divided into eight groups (n=8):sham operated group (group C),normal saline with bone cancer pain group (group N),butorphanol groups(group B 1,B2,B3)and sufentanil groups (group S1,S2,S3).Bone cancer pain model was constructed in group N,B and S when rats in group C were sham operated.Rats in group C and N were epidurally injected NS 30μl each,and rats in group B1,B2 and B3 were respectively epidurally injected butorphanol 25,50,100 μg (all diluted to 30 μl with NS),when rats in group S1,S2 and S3 were respectively cpidurally injected sufentanil 1,2,4 μg (all diluted to 30 μl with NS) on time per day for 10-14 days after modeling.The neurobehavior paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) of the left hind claw was recorded to observe the changes in pain behavior.The neurobehavior function of rats were recorded by BBB (BASSO,BEATTIE and BRESNAHAN) score and the inclined plane test.Results Compared with group C((67.65±9.29) g),the MWT of the model groups obviously decreased before the first time of injection (N (15.23± 2.46) g,B 1 (16.14±2.28) g,B2(15.42±3.22) g,B3(14.35±2.32) g,S1 (15.37±2.11)g,S2(15.22±2.93) g,S3(16.25± 2.36) g) (all P＜0.05)).Compared with group N((16.13±2.37) g),the MWT of group B2,B3 and S3 increased obviously after the first time of injection ((35.12±5.16) g,(35.63± 1.53) g and (34.24±5.93) g) (P＜ 0.05).At the first day of injection,there was no significant difference in the BBB scores and the inclined plane test between the model groups (P＞0.05).At 6 h after the forth injection the inclined plane test and the BBB scores of group B3 were obviously decreased compared with group N ((34.72 ± 4.56) ° and (10.64 ± 1.82) points to (43.15±4.67)° and (14.05±1.78) points (P＜0.05)).Conclusion The results provide evidence that repeatedly epidural injection of butorphanol 50 μg or 100 μg or sufentanil 4 μg can reduce the pain of the rats with bone cancer pain.But repeated epidural injection of butorphanol 100 μg can injure the neurological function.

Objective To compare the result differences of different dynamic nerves transferring to different segments of the radial nerve. Methods From 1997 to 2000, different ways of intercostal nerves or contralataral C 7 transfering to different segments of the radial nerves were carried out in 36 cases with total avulsed brachial plexus injuries that were followed up for average 42.39 months. Four-fold table was selected to statistically calculate the effective rate of muscle strength recovery. Results The total effective rate was 56% (20/36). The effective rate of the functional rehabilitation of elbow extension was 5/8 in the group with neurotization to radial nerve trunk and 4/4 in the group with neurotization to branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle of radial nerve. The highest effective rate up to 75% (9/12) of the functional rehabilitation of wrist and digit extension belonged to the group with contralateral C 7 transferring to the radial nerve segment in the humeral spiral groove where branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle had already diverged. Conclusions The way of neurotization to radial nerve trunk and to branches innervating the triceps brachii muscle of the radial nerve can win good functional rehabilitation of elbow extension. Contralataral C 7 transfering to the radial nerve segment in the humeral spiral groove ranks the best way for function recovery of the wrist extension. Age below 30 years and operation interval less than 12 months are helpful for functional rehabilitation of the radial nerve.

To investigate chemical constituents from Radix Pittospori, chloroform extract of the roots was subjected to column chromatography with various chromatographic techniques. The structures were elucidated on the basis of physico-chemical property and spectral analysis. Two triterpenoids were identified as 22-acetyl-21-(2-acetoxy-2-methylbutanoyl)-R1-barrigenol(1) and 3alpha-hydroxyl-20-demethylisoaleuritolic-14(15)-ene-28, 30-dioic acid (2). Compound 1 is a new triterpene and compound 2 is isolated from this plant for the first time.

The content of endogenous anabolic steroids is extremely low in biological matrices.Its chemical structure contains polar functional groups such as hydroxyl and carbonyl, which limits their applicability in GC-MS.The lack of ionized groups in the chemical structure leads to poor sensitivity in LC-MS, which plays a significant role in various physiological activities analysis.It is an effective way to enhance the response of mass spectrometer by modifying the chemical structure of endogenous anabolic steroids through derivatization technology.This review summarizes various derivatization reagents and corresponding derivatization processes of endogenous anabolic steroids analysis in the methods based on different testing instruments and methodologies.The advantage and disadvantage of all kinds of derivatiaztion methods and the prospect of the endogenous anabolic steroids derivatiaztion techniques are also discussed.

Objective To establish an HPLC method for determination of the content of radiosensitizer YABQ and its related substances.Methods Diamonsil C18 column (250 mm ×4.6 mm,5 μm) was used.The mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.1%formic acid (22∶78) and isocratic elution at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min.The detection wavelength was 266 nm,the temperature of the column was 30℃, and the injection volume was 10 μl.Results The linear range of YABQ was 7-84 μg/ml, r=0.9992.The detection limit was 8 ng (S/N≥3), and the quantitation limit was 24 ng (S/N≥10). According to destructive sample processing, the separation coefficient between the peaks was above 1.5, indicating that this chromatographic method could meet the YABQ monitoring requirements.Conclusion Method validation and destructive testing show that both the precision and specificity are fine with this method, which could be used for quality control of YABQ and its related substances.

Objective: To investigate the dynamic changes of plasma and erythrocyte riboflavin and its derivatives concentrations after riboflavin deficiency and so as to provide theoretic basis for their application in riboflavin status assessment. Methods: The riboflavin deficiency was induced in rats by feeding a riboflavin deficient diet. The plasma and erythrocyte riboflavin and its derivatives (FMN and FAD) were analysed with HPLC method. The blood glutathione reductase activity coefficient (BGRAC), erythrocyte GSH concentration and urinary riboflavin excretion were also measured. Results: The plasma riboflavin concentration as well as the urinary riboflavin excretion were decreased rapidly early after riboflavin deficiency and followed by plasma riboflavin derivatives. The erythrocyte riboflavin and its derivatives and GSH concentrations were decreased significantly later. On the other hand, the BGRAC was increased significantly in the early period of riboflavin deficiency and the change, however, was limited in a narrow range. Conclusion: The plasma and erythrocyte riboflavin concentration can be applied as a marker in riboflavin status assessment but human studies are necessary for further research.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of artificial blood vessel sheath around re-nal vein for the treatment of left renal vein entrapment syndrome. Methods Eight cases with left re-nal vein entrapment syndrome (7 males and 1 female, mean age, 16 years) with history of gross hema-turia for 6 to 36 months were reviewed. Doppler ultrasound reports suggested compression of the left renal vein at mesenteric angle in all eases. CT scan showed the abnormal angle between aorta and su-perior mesenterie artery in 5 cases. Cystscopy showed hematuria from the left ureteral orifice in 5 ca-ses. All cases with left renal vein entrapment syndrome were treated ,with the method of putting artifi-cial blood vessel as a sheath around left renal vein. Results The operations were all successful. The average operation time was 150 min, the average blood loss was 50 ml, and the average hospital stay after operation was 9 d. No surgical complications occurred. The gross hcmaturia disappeared in 6 ca-ses and Doppler ultrasound showed that left renal vein outflow was normal in 7 when the patients dis-charged from the hospital. The gross hematuria disappeared during 2-24 months' follow-up in 7 pa-tients. Conclusions The surgical aim of renal vein entrapment syndrome is to reduce the compres-sion of renal vein. The method of putting artificial blood vessel around renal vein could be a simple, safe and effective method.
