3.Changes of plasma level of neuropeptide Y in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension
Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2001;36(4):206-208
Objective To investigate the changes and its clinical significance of plasma neuropeptide Y(NPY) concentration in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). Methods Plasma NPY levels were detected by radioimmunoassay in 30 patients with PIH, 20 normal non-pregnant women and 23 normal pregnant women. The PIH group was subdivided into mild, moderate and Severe subgroups, and the NPY concentration was also measured in these subgroups respectively at admission and one week after delivery. Results The plasma NPY levels in patients with PIH [(164.16±68.32) ng/L] were significantly higher than those of normal non-pregnant women and normal pregnancies [(86.60±20.65) ng/L, (82.42±12.46) ng/L, P<0.01, respectively]. There was significant difference among plasma NPY levels among the patients with mild, moderate, and severe PIH at admission (P<0,01). At one week after delivery the concentrations of plasma NPY were significantly decreased in the moderate and severe subgroups compared with the value measured at admission (P<0.01). Moreover, the NPY levels in patients with severe PIH after delivery were still higher than those of normal non-pregnant women. Conclusions The results suggested that the level of NPY in plasma is increased in women with PIH. Elevated plasma NPY levels may play a key role in the development of PIH.
4.Fluorimetric analysis of camptothecin in Chinese herbal medicine common Camptotheca fruit.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2012;47(10):1370-4
Three-dimensional (3D) fluorescence spectra and thin layer fluorescence chromatogram of common Camptotheca fruit (CCF) crude drug, camptothecin (CPT) and 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) have been studied, and a novel fluorimetric method for determination of CPT in CCF crude drug has been established. In 3D fluorescence spectra, CPT presented 3 fluorescence peaks with excitation wavelengths lambdaex of 215, 255 and 365 nm, separately, and all peaks with emission wavelength lambdaem of 430 nm. HCPT presented 4 fluorescence peaks with lambdaex of 220, 265, 325 and 375 nm, separately, and all peaks with lambdaem of 555 nm. The fluorescence of CPT is much stronger than that of HCPT. Comparison of 3D fluorescence spectra and analysis of thin layer fluorescence chromatogram revealed that the main fluorescent component of CCF is CPT. HCPT and other components basically do not interfere with the fluorescence of CPT. Under the condition of pH 3.0-6.7, CCF aqueous solution can produce strong and steady fluorescence. Using methanol as solvent, the extracting solution of CCF was prepared, and diluted properly with water, then measured fluorescence intensity at lambdaex/lambdaem = 365/430 nm to determine the content of CPT. A linear calibration curve covered the concentration range 0.002 35-0.235 microg x mL(-1). The regression equation was IF = 9 + 30,844 c, with correlation coefficient r = 0.999 (n=9). The method has been applied to the analysis of CPT in a CCF sample, with a result of 0.127% and a spiked recovery rate of 102%. The reliability of the method has been verified by a thin layer chromatography-fluorescence scanning method. Experimental results demonstrated that this method can be used for quality evaluation of CCF crude drug.
5.Application of a quantitative history for vasovagal syncope
International Journal of Pediatrics 2011;38(6):541-544
Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most common cause of transient loss of consciousness ( TLOC ),mainly with head-up tilt test (HUTT) for diagnosis and treatment evaluation.Beacause of potential risks in the process of HUTT,it is necessary to explore an early,accurate,safe,effective,inexpensive and convenient means of diagnosis and evaluation for VVS.The means of quantitative history are now in practice of clinical trials.The means commonly used are Calgary Presyncope Form (CPF)and three questionaires about point scores in the Calgary syncope symptom studies.Due to its stable,simple and easy to apply features,CPF has some advantages on assessing the effectiveness of different treatment methods for VVS.The three questionnaires have some application potential in diagnosis for VVS.
6.Effects of sedation induced with dexmedetomidine versus propofol on intracranial pressure and cerebral oxygen metabolism in patients with permissive hypercapnia
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2011;31(4):397-400
Objective To compare the effects of sedation induced with dexmedetomidine and propofol on intracranial pressure and cerebral oxygen metabolism in patients with permissive hypercapnia. Methods Twentyfour patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 12 each) :dexmedetomidine group (group D) and propofol group (group P) . Their APACHE Ⅱ scores were 11-18. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT 5-7 ml/kg, RR 12-17 bpm, PEEP 6-10 cm H2O, FiO2 40-60%). PaCO2 was maintained at 50-65 mm Hg. Radial artery was cannulated for direct BP monitoring and blood sampling. Right internal jugular vein was cannulated and the catheter was advanced cephalad until jugular bulb. Continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine was started at 0.5 μg· kg-1· h-1 and TCI of propofol was started at target plasma concentration (Cp) of 0.4 μg/ml. The infusion of both drugs was gradually increased until Ramsay score (1= fully awake, 6 =asleep, unresponsive to loud verbal stimulus) reached 3,4,5. Transcranial Doppler monitoring was used to determine cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) before administration of dexmedetomidine and propofol (T0 ) and at 30 min after the 3 levels of sedation were reached (T1-3) . Meanwhile blood samples were taken from radial artery and jugular bulb for blood gas analyses. Cerebral O2 metabolic rate (CMRO2), cerebral A-V O2 content differences (Da-jvO2) and cerebral O2 extraction rate (CERO2) were calculated .ResultsCBFV, PI, RI and CMRO2 were significantly decreased at T1-3 as compared with the baseline values at T0 in both groups. CBFV was positively correlated with CMRO2 in both group D (r = 0.80) and group P ( r = 0.76) . CBFV, PI and RI were significantly lower at T1-3 in group D than in group P. There was no significant change in Da-jvO2 and CERO2 at T1-3 as compared with the baseline values at T0 in both groups. Conclusion At different sedation levels, dexmedetomidine results in lower intracranial pressure than propofol and maintains the balance between cerebral O2 supply and demand in patients with permissive hypercapnia.

China Pharmacist 2016;19(9):1800-1803
Objective:To evaluate the quality condition and problems of acetylspiramycin at present. Methods:According to the standard described in Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition), acetylspiramycin and its preparations were determined, and the overall quality level of domestic acetylspiramycin was evaluated. The related substances, components and dissolution were analyzed to further explore the quality status. Results:In 258 batches of samples, the dissolution of only one batch did not meet the standard with the passing rate of 99. 6%. The results of exploratory research showed that the content of impurities in raw material was determined by the synthesis process, and the impurity profile of domestic and foreign formula was different. The dissolution behavior of domestic and for-eign formula in four kinds of media was not similar as well. Conclusion: The quality of domestic acetylspiramycin is promising. The research of related substances provides the reference for controlling the target impurities. The consistency assessment of dissolution pro-vides the reference for the formula process improvement and clinical application of acetylspiramycin tablets.
