Objective To establish a headspace GC method for the determination of residual organic solvents in testosterone cypionate. Methods The residual organic solvents were determined by GC with DB-WAX capillary colum(30 m× 0. 32 mm,0. 25 μm)and FID detector at 230℃,using high purity nitrogen as the carrier gas by headspace sampling. The flow rate was 1. 5 mL·min-1 ,the split ratio was 20:1,the temperature of injection port was 220℃,the headspace heating temperature was 70 ℃,and the headspace balance time was 40 mins. The content of residues was calculated by using n-propanol as the internal standard. Results Four residual solvents were completely separated. There were good linearity for m-ethanol,ethanol,benzene and pyridinein in the ranges of 4. 17-2. 50×103 μg·g-1(R=0. 999 9),4. 18-2. 51×103 μg·g-1(r=0. 999 6),0. 84-172 μg·g-1 (r=0. 998 1),and 2. 95-1. 77×103μg·g-1(r=0. 999 9),respectively. The detection limit was 2.08,1. 23,0.28,and 0. 87 μg·g-1,respectively. The average recovery of methanol,ethanol,benzene and pyridinein was 102. 2%(RSD=4. 0%),99. 6%(RSD=1. 9%),112. 6(RSD=5. 6%),and 98. 9%(RSD=1. 6%),respectively. Conclusion This method is reliable,sensitive, accurate and can be used for the determination of residual organic solvents in testosterone cypionate.

This study aimed to study the inhibitory activities of flavonoids on cell cycle-dependent protein kinase (CDK1)and hepatoma cells BEL-7402.The CDK1 inhibitory activity of licorice flavonoids was evaluated by CDK1 reagent kit,and antiproliferaty activity in vitro was investgated by CCK-8 assay.Subcutaneous tumor model of liver cancer Bel-7402 was established in nude mice,which were then randomly divided into drug group,posi-tive drug group and blank control group.The mice in drug group were orally administrated with licorice flavonoids for continuous 18 days. The body weight and tumor size of mice were recorded every other day.The results demonstrated that these licorice flavonoids displayed potent efficacy against CDK1,specifically,isoliquiritigenin exhibited the most potent CDK1 inhibitory activity(IC50=0.05 ± 0.005 μmol/L),which was about 6-fold more potent than positive control flavopiridol(IC50=0.29 ± 0.230 μmol/L).Molecular docking studies revealed that isoliquiritigenin engaged in six hydrogen bonds with K33,E81,L83,S84,D86,D149 in CDK1,while flavopiridol only engaged in five hydrogen bonds with E81,L83,S84,Q132,D149.In vitro biological evaluation indicated that these licorice flavonoids displayed significant antiproliferative effects on Bel-7402 cancer cells.Among them, isoliquiritigenin showed the greatest potency against Bel-7402(IC50=0.7 ± 0.11 mol/L),which was 3-fold more potent than flavopiridol(2.4 ± 0.34 mol/L).In vivo biological evaluation showed that the LD50of isoliquiritigenin was 4.38 mg/kg,and could effectively inhibit the cell growth of liver cancer Bel-7402 in mice.

Objective To explore the feasibility of coronary magnetic resonance angiography(CMRA) with a T2-prepared turbo field echo(T2-TFE) sequence at 3.0T MR scanner.Methods 33 objects underwent CMRA at 3.0T MR imaging unit.The CMRA was performed with a 3D T2-TFE sequence.Electrocardiographically gating combined with real-time respiratory navigator gating and tracking was used to suppress the cardiac motion and correct for respiratory-induced coronary artery motion.The original images were reconstructed with MIP and Soap Bubble software.The quality of CMRA was evaluated and the lengths of the main coronary arterial branches were measured.Results 115 of 128 coronary arteries were scored higher than 3 with the standard of image quality.The lengths of LM,LAD,LCX and RCA were(12.0?3.8) mm,(79.4?18.9) mm,(60.0?12.7) mm and(110.7?27.2) mm,respectively.Conclusion CMRA with T2-TFE sequence is feasible at 3.0T.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the curative effect of local massage with safflower oil in patients with phlebitis following peripheral intravenous catheters.MethodsA total of 71 patients with phlebitis following peripheral intravenous catheters wererandomly divided into 2 groups, a safflower oil group with 36 cases, and a magnesium sulfate group with 35 cases. The magnesium sulfate group was treated by local external application of 33% magnesium sulfate on phlebitis at the puncture site, while the safflower oil group was treated by external application of safflower oil 3~5 cm around the peripheral vein puncture site and massage. Both groups were treated for 48 h. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain degree, marking method to label the localred swelling area.ResultsThe VAS score (0.81±0.13vs.0.94±0.11;t=4.543,P<0.01) at 48 h after the treatment, and the local red swelling area at 24 h (3.62±1.22 cm2vs.4.42±1.72 cm2;t=2.335, P=0.022) and 48 h (1.07±0.25 cm2vs.3.26±1.07cm2;t=11.952,P<0.01) after the treatment in the safflower oil group were significant lower or smaller than the magnesium sulfate group.ConclusionsLocal massage with safflower oil can effectively alleviate the severity of phlebitis, relieve symptoms, reduce the score of VAS and local red swelling area, and promote the damaged tissue to restore normal.

Objective To explore the effects of Rab11 on biological functions of human cervical cancer cell line HeLa through regulating the expression levels of Rab11. Methods The Rab11 siRNA was transfected into HeLa cells and the expression of Rab11 was detected by Western blot. CCK8 assay, colony formation experiments, EdU assay and Transwell assay were adopted to observe the effect of Rab11 on HeLa cells proliferation and invasion. Results The expression of Rab11 was decreased significantly in HeLa cells transfected with Rab11 siRNAs than that in control siRNA (1.096 ±0.091 vs 1.735 ±0.084, P< 0.01). The proliferation was markedly inhibited in Rab11 siRNA group compared with that in control siRNA group (48 h:0.721±0.092 vs 1.090±0.099; 72 h: 0.956±0.105 vs 1.482±0.096; 96 h: 1.231±0.099 vs 1.720±0.174, P< 0.01), the number of colonies was lower than that in control siRNA group (36±1 vs 75±8, P< 0.01) and so was proliferation rate [(33.880±1.902) % vs (45.570±2.025) %, P< 0.05]. The cell invasion rate of Rab11 siRNA group was lower than that of control siRNA group [(38.6 ±0.8) % vs (100.0 ±0.2) %, P< 0.01]. Conclusion Down-regulation of Rab11 expression can inhibit the growth of HeLa cells.

Objective To explore the effects and related mechanism of Exendin-4 on secretion of extracellular matrix in high glucose-induced glomerular mesangial cells(GMCs). Methods GMCs were incubated in medium with glucose or Exendin-4 for the four groups: normal glucose group(NG group): cells were treated in medium with 5.6 mmol/L glucose; NG with Exendin-4 treatment group(NGE group): cells were treated with 5.6 mmol/L glucose and Exendin-4; high glucose group(HG group): cells were cultured with 30 mmol/L glucose; HG with Exendin-4 treatment group(HGE group): cells were treated with 30 mmol/L glucose and Exendin-4 at concentration of 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 nmol/L separately, which were cultured for 12, 24, 48 hours. GMCs treated with Exendin-4 were determined by assessing proliferation using a CCK8 method. The levels of fibronectin(FN), collagen type Ⅳ(Col-Ⅳ)in the cell supernatant were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The gene levels of Col-Ⅳ, FN, and expression of inflammatory mediators including monocyte chemotactic protein 1(MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1), transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)were evaluated using reverse transcription PCR(RT-PCR); The expression of nuclear transcription factor-κB(NF-κB), glucagon-like peptide-l receptor(GLP-1R), and phosphorylation levels of mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPKs)were evaluated by Western blot. Results(1)After treatment with 10 nmol/L Exendin-4 for 24 hour, the proliferation rate of GMCs was significantly decreased compared with 3 nmol/L, 5 nmol/L Exendin-4 treatment(P<0.05), while there was no difference compared with 15 nmol/L, 30 nmol/L Exendin-4 treatment(both P>0.05). (2)The gene expression of FN, Col-Ⅳ and the inflammatory mediators, MCP-1, TNF-α, ICAM-1, TGF-β1 in HG group were significantly increased compared with the NG group,(all P<0.05). After treatment with Exendin-4, the levels of FN, Col-Ⅳ and the gene expression of TNF-α, MCP-1, ICAM-1, TGF-β1 were decreased(all P<0.05). (3)Compared with NG group, the expression of NF-κB and the phosphorylation of extracellular regulated protein kinases(p-Erk1/2), Jun N-terminal kinase(p-JNK)and, p38MAPK(p-p38MAPK)in the group of HG group were increased significantly, accompanied by the decrease of GLP-1R protein level(all P<0.05). Importantly, Exendin-4 treatment significantly reduced protein expression of p-Erk1/2, p-JNK, and NF-κB(all P<0.05), and the level of GLP-1R protein increased(P<0.05). Furthermore, specific Erk1/2, JNK or NF-κB inhibitors markedly blocked Exendin-4-mediated decrease in the levels of FN, Col-Ⅳ. Conclusion Exendin-4 treatment inhibits the secretion of extracellular matrix potentially through Erk1/2, JNK/NF-κB signaling in higher glucose induced GMCs.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the regularity and characteristics of adverse drug reaction (ADR) in our hospital,to reduce the incidence of ADR,and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:1 731 ADR cases reported by our hospital during Jan. 2002 to Jul. 2015 to national ADR monitoring center through the network system were selected and analyzed statistically in respects of gender,age,related drugs,route of administration,causal relationship evaluation,reporting personnel status,ADR results and drug dosage form organs or systems involved in ADR and manifestation. RESULTS:There were a total of 1 731 ADR patients,among which 640 cases were male,and 1 091 cases were female;patients aged 41-60,≥61 were 676,568 cases;there were 86 cases of severe ADR and 1 645 cases of general ADR,249 cases of new ADR,include 19 cases of severe ADR;causal relationship evaluation of ADR was“impossible”(572 cases) and“very likely”(859 cases) as the vast majority of staff reporting;the most of reporters were doctors (1 290 cases,74.52%),followed by pharmacists (323 cases, 18.66%) and nurses (118 cases, 6.82%);ADR of most patients were improved and recovered. There were 16 routes of administration in ADR cases,among which intravenous infusion and oral administration were the main route of administration, accounting for 92.95%;ADR reports involved 32 kinds of dosage form,which mainly were injection,tablets and capsules, accounting for 86.76%. CONCLUSIONS:Great importance should be attached to ADR monitoring and reporting. We also should reduce the use of intravenous drugs,pay attention to the safety of drug use in elderly patients,promote clinical rational drug use, and ensure the safety of patients.

Objective To investigate the intensive atorvastatin therapy on B7-H4 in peripheral blood monocytes of patients with unstable angina PCI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods 80 patients with unstable angina were randomized to pretreatment with intensive dose (80 mg/day ,n = 40) and conventional dose(20 mg/day,n=40)of atorvastatin. Peripheral blood were subsequently obtained prior to PCI,and 18 ~ 24 h after PCI. Peripheral blood serum level of IL-4,IL-10 and IFN-γ were quantified using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Fluorescence-based quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure levels of periph-eral blood monocytes B7-H4 mRNA. Results Levels of IL-10 ,sB7-H4 and B7-H4 mRNA increased in patients of both groups after PCI. The increase in intensive dose group is more significant (P < 0.05). IL-4 and IFN-γ decreased in patients of both groups after PCI. The decrease in intensive dose group is more significant (P <0.05). Conclusion Intensive dose atorvastatin treatment improve post-PCI immune inflammation in patients with unstable angina,possibly by promoting the expression of B7-H4 in peripheral blood monocytes.

This study was to evaluate the effect of individualized health education on blood glucose control in type 2 diabetic(T2D)Patients.Two hundred and thirty-eight T2D patients were randomly received individualized diabetes education(intervention group)or general education(control group).At 48 week,change of blood glucose control from baseline was observed.The blood glucose level and HbA1c in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group[(7.1±0.8)vs (9.3±6.5)mmol/L,(7.0 ±1.3)%vs(8.0%±1.0)%;P＜0.05].Thus,individualized diabetes education might be helpful for blood glucose control in T2D patients.
