The authors determined the concentration of matrine in rabbit blood plasma with HPLC after it was injected intravenously at constant rate and studied the pharmacokinetics with following five dosage groups of 10,15,20,30 and 60 mg/kg,respectively.As a result,the pharmacokinetics of matrine in rabbit body coincides with two-compartment open model.For 10-30mg/kg dosage groups,the t_(1/2)?,Vc and CLS are similar basically. A direct proportion increase in AUC as dose is increased.The matrine reveals linear elim- ination.For 60 mg/kg dosage group,t_(1/2)? obviously lengthens.AUC increases over pro- portion.The elimination of matrine is nonlinear.

Objective To investigate the TH1/TH2 patterns by calculating the percentage of TH1, TH2 cells, and the TH1/TH2 ratio of peripheral blood from patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Methods The percentage of TH1 and TH2 cells in peripheral blood from 15 normal pregnant controls and 20 PIH patients (including 12 moderate and 8 severe cases) were calculated using flow cytometry for the analysis of both the surface marker CD3 CD8 and intracellular cytokines, interleukin-4 (IL-4), and interferon-? (IFN-?). Results The percentage of TH1 cells and the ratio of TH1/TH2 in PIH patients were significantly higher than those in the normal third-trimester pregnant controls [(20.50?4.02)% vs (12.57?2.18)%, P

0.99).The limits of detection were below 0.5 ?g/L.The rates of recovery for the spiked samples ranged from 70.1% to 117.9% and the relative standard deviations(RSD) were between 0.4%-16.1%.Conclusion The method is simple,rapid,accurate and is applicable to the simultaneous determination of multi-pesticide residues in drinking water.

Objective To detect the encoding gene of efflux pump and two-component system, and investigate the effect of efflux inhibition on the multiresistance of Acinetobacter baumarmii. Methods PCR was used to detect the adeB, adeR and aries gene. Agar dilution was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations(MIC) of ciprofloxacin, cefotaxime, amikacin and imipenem of 50 multiresistance Acinetobacter baumannii, with or without 25 μg/ml reserpine. Results 94%, 96% and 92% of 50 muhiresistance of Acinetobacter baumannii were detected for adeB, adeR and aries gene,respectively. At least four fold decrease of MIC was observed in 49, 50, 50 and 46 isolates for ciprofioxacin, cefotaxime, amikacin and imipenem, respectively. Conclusion The multiresistance of Acinetobacter baumannii is related to the effect of the efflux system.

Objective To determine the possible genetic background and the source of our hospital's 43 clinical isolates of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, and the category of gene cassettes in type 1 integrons of all strains.Methods Restriction enzyme Apa I was chosed for all strains in pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) methods.Multilocus sequence typing ( MLST) was used to compare the allelic profiles of all the strains. PCR method was used for amplify the integrons of all strains. Results PFGE results showed that 43 strains were divided into four types. A-type and B-type were divided into 4 and 2 subtypes, respectively. The MLST results showed the existing of three allelic profiles; 1-3-3-2-2-7-3, 1-3-3-2-2-11-3, and 1-3-3-2-2-14-3.B-type and D-type of PFGE have the same allelic profile(1-3-3-2-2-11-3).A-type strains were detected mainly in ICU, and in burn unit only found B- and D-type.The same integron was detected in 62.8% of the strains.The constituent ratio of A1,A2,A3,A4,B1,B2,C and D-type was 40.7% , 18.5% , 7.4% , 3.7% , 14.8% , 3.7% , 3.7% and 7.4% , respectively.Conclusions The coexistence of multiple cloning system in this region was proved by the PFGE and MLST, and the same clone can evolve to different subtypes when stimulated by different environmental conditions; and the different carrying-situationt of the same integron in strains prove the possibility of the change during the evolution of resistance mechanisms.

Objective To investigate the impact of aging and weight bearing on cartilage endplate morphology and chondrocyte apoptosis in rats. Methods The bipedal rat model (n=45) was developed by forelimb amputation and special breeding methods. The normal rats of the same age served as the control group (n=40). When the rats became 3, 6, 9, and 12 months old, 8 rats randomly selected from each group were sacrificed and paraffin-embedded mid-sagittal sections of the L4-5 spine were obtained. Sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and the TUNEL procedure was performed. The numbers of apoptotic cells and viable cells in the cartilage endplates of the intervertebral discs were counted, the thickness of the cartilage endplate was measured and the degree of impairment of the cartilage endplate was evaluated. Results Apoptosis first appeared in the cartilage endplate, then increased with aging and resulted in a remarkable decrease in cell density. The apoptotic rate of chondrocytes within the cartilage endplate of the bipedal rat model group was significantly higher than the control group at the 6-month time point. A statistically significant difference was observed in the bipedal rat model group between the 6-month time point and 9-month time point (P<0.05). Correlation analyses indicated that there was a highly negative correlation between the number of the viable cells of the cartilage endplate and the degree of the cartilage endplate degeneration (r=-0.97, P<0.05). Compared with the naturally aged group, the bipedal rat model group experienced more severe degeneration in the structure of the cartilage endplate, more obvious thickening of the cartilage endplate's calcified layer, and more defects in the structure of the cartilage. Conclusions Besides aging, weight bearing is probably a key factor of the increase of chondrocyte apoptosis and the degeneration of vertebral cartilage endplate.

OBJECTIVE To study the changing trends of drug-resistance of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates.METHODS All 668 isolates of A.baumannii were obtained from clinical patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of China University of Sciences Medical between 2001-2006.K-B test was used to determine the susceptibility and the results were read based on National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards(NCCLS)of the USA.RESULTS The number of A.baumannii isolates was increasing from 61 in the year of 2001 to 247 in the year of 2006.And during the six years,the resistant rate to ciprofloxacin,gentamicin and imipenem was increasing from 28.8%,25.4%,5.4% to 64.9%,72.7% and 48.5%,respectively.The resistant rate of the 50 multidrug-resistant A.baumannii isolates to polymyxin B was 18.6%.CONCLUSIONS During the six years,the isolating rate is increasing,the result showed that there is not a large scale outbreak.The resistant rate is so high that we must strengthen the monitoring and indentify the drug-resistance mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE To study the information of drug resistance of 1292 coagulase-negative staphylococci(CNS) isolates. METHODS There were 1292 isolates of CNS obtained from clinical patients in between 2001-2006.K-B test was used to determine the susceptibility and the results were read based on Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI) of the USA. RESULTS The isolating rate of CNS isolates was decreasing from 11.0% in the year of 2001 to 6.4% in the year of 2006.During the six years,the resistant rate to erythromycin,oxacillin and benzylpenicillin was high(90.0%,78.9% and 95.0%,respectively) and the resistant rate to cefepime,ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin increased from 17.3%,42.4%,and 28.7% in the year of 2001 to 39.1%,56.0% and 42.6% in the year of 2006.But the resistant rate to tetracycline,trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole decreased from 71.2% and 72.0% in the year of 2001 to 52.7% and 33.3% in the year of 2006.The resistant rate to quinupristin /dalfopristin was 5.6%. CONCLUSIONS The steady resiatence rate of CNS over the past six years provides powerful evidence for the choice of clinical medication and practice of infection control.
