The aim of the study is to prepare flurbiprofen axetil nanoemulsion-in situ gel system (FBA/NE-ISG) and observe its ocular pharmacokinetics, rheological behavior, TEM images, irritation and cornea retention. Production of nanoemulsion was based on high-speed shear and homogenization process, and then mixed with gellan gum to prepare FBA/NE-ISG. Rheological study showed that FBA/NE-ISG possesses strong gelation capacity and its viscosity and elastic modulus increases by 2 Pa*s and 5 Pa respectively when mixed with artificial tear at the ratio of 40 : 7. TEM images suggested no significant changes in particle morphology of the pre and post gelation. Good ocular compatibility of FBA/NE-ISG was testified by the irritation test based on histological examination. In vivo fluorescence imaging system was applied to investigate the characteristics of cornea retention, and the results indicated that the nanoemulsion-in situ gel (NE-ISG) prolonged the cornea retention time significantly since K(NE-ISG) (0.008 5 min(-1) was much lower compared with flurbiprofen sodium eye drops (FB-Na, 0.03% w/v) of which the K(Eye drops) was 0.105 2 min(-1), indicated that the cornea retention time of NE-ISG was prolonged significantly. Pharmacokinetics of FBA/NE-ISG in rabbit aqueous humor was studied by cornea puncture, the MRT (12.3 h) and AUC(0-12h) (126.8 microg x min x mL(-1)) of FBA/NE-ISG was 2.7 and 2.9 times higher than that of the flurbiprofen sodium eye drops respectively, which meant that the ocular bioavailability was improved greatly by the novel preparation. Therefore, FBA/NE-ISG can enhance the ocular bioavailability by prolonging drug corneal retention significantly. What's more, encapsulated by emulsion droplets prodrug flurbiprofen (FBA) instead of flurbiprofen (FB) can reduce the ocular irritation.

AIM　To develop a sensitive, specific and reliable reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic method(RP-HPLC) to determine the total and unbound(free) concentrations in human plasma of amitriptyline and its major metabolite, nortriptyline. METHODS The assay involved a simple extraction procedure. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and distilled water(30∶70, V/V), containing triethylamine(0.5%) and orthophosphoric acid(0.3%), pH 3.1. Separation was achieved on the C18 ODS column and the effluent was measured for UV absorption at 240 nm. RESULTS　The calibration curves were linear in the range of 4～400 μg*L-1 for total concentration, and in the range of 4～64 μg*L-1 for free concentration for both amitriptyline and nortriptyline. The lowest limits of detection were 4 μg*L-1 for both compounds. The absolute recovery rates were 102.0%±3.77% for amitriptyline and 99.3%±7.13% for nortriptyline. The precision values(RSD) of intra-day and inter-day for both amitriptyline and for nortriptyline were determined to be <5%, and <8%, respectively. The method was applied to determine the total and free concentrations in plasma of the healthy volunteers after a single oral dose of 50 mg amitriptyline. CONCLUSION　The assay was simple, repid, highly selective and sensitive. It is suitable for the routine analysis of total and free drug concentrations in plasma using readily available instruments with lower cost.

Objective To describe the status of nurses′professional identity and the self-concept and to explore the relationship between nurses′professional identity and the self-concept. This will be the base for intervening nurses′professional identity. Methods A convenience sample of 250 nurses from one major hospital in Beijing was recruited. The Macleod Clark Professional Identity Scale and the Professional Self-Concept Instrument were introduced. A standard translation procedure was carried out. Results A total of 250 questionnaires were sent out, 241 questionnaires were withdrawed with an effective rate of 96.4%. The mean score of nurses′professional identity was 42.54±8.70, which was at moderate level. The mean score of nurses′professional self-concept was 86.28 ±22.86, also at moderate level, among which,knowledgescores highest (25.91±6.00), leadership scored 20.84±8.02, inter-personal relationship scored (20.28±4.18), caring scored the lowest (19.25±4.67). There was significant difference among the professional identity in the different departments (P<0.05) , while the same results were not seen in professional self-concept. Nurses′professional identity was positively correlated with professional self-concept′s four dimensions (P<0.05). Conclusions The nurse managers should pay attention to the cultivation of professional self-concept in the training of nurses in order to improve the professional identity of nurses and the whole nurses′development.

Aim: To prepare novel cubosome system for effective ocular drug delivery with dexamethasone(DEX) as model drug, and investigate its pharmacokinetic profile in rabbit aqueous humor. Methods: DEX cubosomes was prepared by the method of high-pressure homogenization, and its particle size was determined by the laser particle sizer, and the microstructure observed by cryo-TEM. In addition, Draize method was used to evaluate the ocular irritation of DEX cubosomes. Finally, aqueous humor microdialysis was utilized to evaluate its pharmacokinetics in rabbits. Results: Average diameter of DEX cubosomes was about 200 nm, and the cubic structure of the particles was evident under the cryo-TEM. It was indicated by Draize scores that this dosage form exhibited excellent ocular tolerance. Results of pharmacokinetic profiles in aqueous humor showed that AUC_(0→240) and c_(max) of the rabbit group administered with DEX cubosomes were significantly higher than those of the control group( DEX sodium phosphate eye drops), with AUC_(0→240) of the formulation Fl( 10% oil content) and F2(20% oil content) is being about 1. 8 and 2. 9 times higher than those of the control group, respectively( P <0. 05). Conclusion: The novel ocular drug delivery system of DEX cubosomes was capable of increasing significantly the drug concentration in aqueous humor, and improving the ocular bioavailability.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of placental transfusion of umbilical cord milking on very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Methods Fifty-seven VLBW infants born from September 2011 to May 2014 who had umbilical cord milking at birth were selected as experimental group. Sixty-one VLBW infants born from January 2008 to August 2011 who had normal cord clamping at birth were selected as control group. The complications of VLBW infants, blood transfusion, frequency of using pulmonary surfactant (PS), the duration of mechanical ventilation, the duration of oxygen and mortality were compared between two groups.Results The incidence of severe asphyxia, IVH and anemia was signiifcantly lower in experimental group than in control group (P< 0.05). The blood transfusion and transfusion volume, duration of mechanical ventilation, and duration of oxy-gen were signiifcantly lower in experimental group than in control group (P< 0.05).Conclusions Umbilical cord milking can reduce the incidence of severe asphyxia, IVH and anemia. It also can reduce the blood transfusion, the duration of mechanical ventilation, and the duration of oxygen in VLBW infants.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of modified transperitoneal laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty in children with with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).Methods The clinical data of 27 children with UPJO treated with transperitoneal laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty were analyzed retrospectively.The age ranged from 5 to 104 months (mean,37 months).All cases were diagnosed by ultrasonography,IVU,CT and/or renal radionuclide scanning.The antero-posterior pelvic diameter was more than 3 cm by ultrasound in all cases.Indications of surgery were as followings:symptoms of upper abdominal pain or low back pain and/or split renal function ＜40％ and/or progressive dilatation.Modified transperitoneal laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty was performed.Double hitch stitches were transfixed at the top of pelvis and ureter to be anastomosed,and a 6 F urethral catheter was inserted as a ureteral stent percutaneously through the puncture hole and was removed 7-9 days postoperatively without double-J stent.Results All operations were completed laparoscopically without conversion to open surgery.The mean operative time was 118 min (range,85 to 176),the mean blood loss was 16 ml (range,10 to 30) and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 10.5 days (range 9 to 13).The perinephric urine drainage occurred in 2 patients with about 200 ml/d,and reduced to 6 ml/d and 4 ml/d 5 to 6 days after operation.During the follow-up period for 12 to 36 months(mean,22 months) in 27 cases,there was no stricture at UPJ and the hydronephrosis reduced significantly or disappeared.Conclusion Laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty with double hitch stitches and an ordinary urethral catheter as an ureteral stent is an easy method with high successful rate and less operative time,which avoids reoperation to remove the double-J stent and is worthy of clinical popularization.
