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.

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.

Objective To evaluate the predictive effect of preoperative pressure-flow studies on the outcome of transurethral prostatectomy.Methods Sixty-three patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) were evaluated by using pressure-flow studies,international prostate symptom score,uroflowmetry,and residual urine volume before and 3 months after surgery.The patients were divided into 3 groups(obstruction equivocal and unobstruction) according to the grade of pressure-flow.The outcome of transurethral prostatectomy were analyzed in each group with detrusor contractility(weak or normal).Results Treatment outcome could be predicted by using the grade of benign prostatic obstruction and detrusor contractility.The sensitivity of which was 73.5%,with a specificity of 88.5% and positive predictive value of 96.2%.Conclusions Urodynamic studies provide great predictive value of option in transurethral prostatectomy.

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

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.

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.

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.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of three-port transumbilical endoscopic cholecystectomy performed using conventional laparoscopic instruments.

METHODSThirty-two patients undergoing three-port transumbilical endoscopic cholecystectomy using conventional laparoscopic instruments (group A) with 3 ports around the umbilicus were compared with 96 patients (group B) receiving the conventional 4-port routine endoscopic cholecystectomy.

RESULTSAll the procedures were successfully completed without conversion to open laparotomy. In group A, the procedures were completed smoothly in 30 cases while 2 cases required another port (5 mm) punctured below the xyphoid due to severe adhesion around the cyst. The median operating time was 39.7∓5.2 min in group A, significantly longer than that in group B (25.3∓3.3 min, P<0.001), but the patients in group A obtained better cosmetic results (P<0.001); the median blood loss, recovery time of postoperative intestine function, length of postoperative hospital stay, and the rate of use of postoperative painkillers were comparable between the two groups. Bile leakage or other postoperative complications occurred in none of cases in the two groups.

CONCLUSIONIn cases without severe adhesion around the cyst, three-port transumbilical endoscopic cholecystectomy using conventional laparoscopic instruments is a safe and feasible alternative to routine endoscopic cholecystectomy with better cosmetic results.
