Objective To observe the effect of estrogen on BBB permeability,occludin expression after ischemia-reperfusion in rats,and to make a further investigation on the role of estrogen in cerebral ischemia. Methods Ovariectomized rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group,model group,and estrogen pretreatment group. 4 h,24 h,3 d after ischemia-reperfusion were selected as different observation points,and changes of edema,occluding expression,and blood-brain barrier permeability of the 3 points in time were observed. BBB ultra-structure electron microscope observation was made at 24 h and 3 d after ischemia-reperfusion. Changes in cerebral edema were measured by brain water content percentage;protein expressions were measured by Western blot;and BBB permeability was measured by Evans blue as-say. Results Compared with the sham group,brain tissue water content and EB content in model group both increased 4 h after ischemia-reperfusion (P<0. 05),and they keep increasing as time goes by and finally reaching the peak (P<0. 01). Compared with the model group at the same time point,brain tissue water content and EB content in estrogen pretreatment group decreased in different degrees (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01),and it was most significant at the time point of 24 h after ischemia-reperfusion (P<0. 01). Compared with model group,through electron microscope observation,ia was displayed that BBB TJ's open was reduced in estrogen pretreatment group,astrocyte foot process and capillary tube edema were lighter,and it was significant at the time point of 3 d after ischemia-reperfusion. Western blot detection of occludin protein expression found that it was lower in the model group compared with the sham group at 4 h after ischemia-reperfusion,but there was no significant difference (P>0. 05). 24 h after ischemia-reperfusion,the occludin expression were weaker than that in the sham surgery group with a significant difference (P<0. 05),and it keep weakening with a significant difference 3 d after ischemia-reperfusion (P<0. 01). In estrogen group,there was no significant difference compared with the model group in terms of occludin expression at 4 h after ischemia-reper-fusion (P>0. 05). In estrogen group,there was significant difference in occludin protein expression at 24 h and 3 d after ischemia-reperfusion compared with model group at the same time point (P<0. 05). Conclusion BBB ultrastructure disclose TJ was broke and vesicles within EC was increased and astrocyte cell foot process was swelling in MCAO model,it might be the vasogenic brain edema pathological basis for MCAO. In MCAO animal model,with ischemia-reperfusion time increasing,TJ protein occludin expression significantly decreased,it suggests that occludin plays an important role in the regulation of TJ permeability. Estrogen increases has a very close relationship with occludin ex-pression,and it may be one of the mechanisms of protecting BBB integrity and lessening cerebral edema.

Azone ( 1桪odeylazacyclohenptan-2-one) is one of the best skin penetration enhancers. It can increase the permeability of skin for some hydrophobic compounds, so that it is possible to be admi-nistrated through skin. The effects of Azone on permeability of skin of a-Asarone, Nicorandil and Nitroglycerin were studied by flow through diffusion cell with radioactivity tracer.The results showed that the different concentrations of Azone gave different enhancement. The penetration of the 3 drugs was enhanced about 1-fold by

To produce specific antibodies against malachite green ( MG) , one special hapten was synthesized and characterized, and conjugated to carrier protein as immunogen. The immunogen showed excellent reactogenicity and immunogenicity. One specific monoclonal antibody (mAb, named MG-DA4-C7) with high sensitivity and specificity for MG in indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunoassay ( icELISA ) was screened. The isotype was IgG1 and the light chain was κ type. After optimization of ELISA conditions, the proposed icELISA showed a 50% inhibition value ( IC50 ) of 0. 96 μg/L, a linear range ( IC20-IC80 ) of 0. 1-8. 1 μg/L and a limit of detection ( LOD, IC10 ) of 0. 05 μg/L for determination of MG. The assay showed cross-reactivity of 18. 1%, 26. 5% with crystal violet and brilliant green, respectively, and negligible cross-reactivity with other metabolites of MG (<0 . 1%) . The average recoveries of MG from spiked fish samples were from 87. 3% to 107. 3%. Good correlation (R2=0. 999) was obtained between the results of icELISA and those of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. The proposed icELISA is suitable for the determination of MG in fish samples in a simple and sensitive manner.

To detect furaltadone metabolite 3-amino-5-morpholinomethyl-2-oxazolidinone ( AMOZ ) in fish sample, an Eu3+ labeling time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay ( TRFIA ) was developed. The effects of experimental conditions including AMOZA-OVA concentration, dilution of antibody, and reaction time on the sensitivity of TRFIA were explored. The results showed that the optimized assay conditions were as follows:the AMOZA-OVA concentration was 0. 25 μg/mL; the antibody was diluted 5í104 folds, and the competitive reaction time was 50 min. Under optimal conditions, the method showed a detection limit of 0. 01 ng/mL, an IC50 of 0. 26 ng/mL and a linear range (IC20-IC80) of 0. 025-2. 83 ng/mL. The recoveries of AMOZ in fish at three spiked levels ranged from 78 . 0% to 86 . 0%, and the relative standard deviations were less than 15%. Good correlation between the ic-TRFIA and high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was obtained for spiked food samples. The proposed ic-TRFIA method was suited for the determination of AMOZ residue in food samples.

4-Amino dimethyl phthalate as the hapten was coupled to carrier protein and then used to immunize New Zealand rabbits. Polyclonal antibody which showed specific binding to dimethyl phthalate ( DMP) was thus obtained, and on the basis of this, an indirect competitive chemiluminescent enzyme-linked immunoassay ( icCLEIA ) was developed. The experimental parameters of icCLEIA were optimized as follows: the concentration of coating antigen was 50 μg/L, the primary antibody concentration was 92. 5 μg/L, the secondary antibody concentration was 1μg/mL, distilled water (pH 6. 0) was used as diluent solution and the competitive reaction time was 40 min. Under the optimal conditions, the icCLEIA exhibited a linear working range from 0. 74μg/L to 30. 32μg/L with the limit of detection of 0. 29μg/L. The cross-reactivity of thirteen structural analogues was lower than 5%. The recovery of DMP from spiked liquor and soy sauce samples ranged from 80 . 2% to 116 . 0% and the average RSD was less than 3 . 6%. The detection results of the spiked liquor and soy sauce samples were consistent with those by standard gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method. The developed icCLEIA method exhibited a practical potential for detecting DMP residue in food samples.

Due to the low molecular weight and simple structure, the production of specific antibodies against acrylamide is unavailable. In this study, a novel hapten was synthesized through the derivatization of acrylamide and 4-mercaptophenylacetic acid. The hapten was then coupled to carrier protein and used to immunize New Zealand rabbits. Polyclonal antibody which showed specific binding to the acrylamide derivative ( hapten) was obtained. The antibody was labeled with horseradish peroxidase ( HRP) and used to develop a direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( dc-ELISA) . The dc-ELISA was used to determine the content of acrylamide derivative, and then transferred to the content of acrylamide. The assay showed an IC50 value of 45. 49 μg/L, a limit of detection of 3. 0 μg/L and the linear range of 9. 2-195 μg/L for acrylamide. The recovery of acrylamide from spiked food sample was determined ranging from 83 . 6% to 112 . 7%. Good correlations between the results of dc-ELISA and standard HPLC-MS/MS were obtained. The proposed dc-ELISA is suitable for the determination of acrylamide in food samples.

China still has more than 30,000 patients of advanced schistosomiasis while new cases being reported consistently. D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product. As ascites being the dominating symptom in advanced schistosomiasis, the present study aimed to explore a prediction model of ascites with D-dimer and other clinical easy-achievable indicators. A case-control study nested in a prospective cohort was conducted in schistosomiasis-endemic area of southern China. A total of 291 patients of advanced schistosomiasis were first investigated in 2013 and further followed in 2014. Information on clinical history, physical examination, and abdominal ultrasonography, including the symptom of ascites was repeatedly collected. Result showed 44 patients having ascites. Most of the patients' ascites were confined in the kidney area with median area of 20 mm². The level of plasma D-dimer and pertinent liver function indicators were measured at the initial investigation in 2013. Compared with those without ascites, cases with ascites had significantly higher levels of D-dimer (0.71±2.44 μg/L vs 0.48±2.12 μg/L, P=0.005), as well ALB (44.5 vs 46.2, g/L) and Type IV collagen (50.04 vs 44.50 μg/L). Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses indicated a moderate predictive value of D-dimer by its own area under curve (AUC) of 0.64 (95% CI: 0.54–0.73) and the cutoff value as 0.81 μg/L. Dichotomized by the cutoff level, D-dimer along with other categorical variables generated a prediction model with AUC of 0.76 (95% CI: 0.68–0.89). Risks of patients with specific characteristics in the prediction model were summarized. Our study suggests that the plasma D-dimer level is a reliable predictor for incident ascites in advanced schistosomiasis japonica patients.
