To develop a RP-HPLC method for the determination of catechin (C),epicatechin (EC),gallic acid (GA)and procyanidin B2 (PCB2 )in procyanidins and compare the contents of C,EC,GA and PCB2 in procyani-dins purchased from different manufacturers.A RP-HPLC method was developed and the determination was car-ried out on a Hypersil ODS2 column (4.0 mm ×200 mm,5 μm).The mobile phase consisted of methanol and 2% acetic acid with gradient elution and the detection wave-length was at 280 nm.There was a good linear rela-tionship between concentration and the peak area in the range of 0.1-50 μg/mL (r =0.998 6)for catechin,0.1-50 μg/mL (r =0.994 5)for epicatechin,0.05-50 μg/mL (r =0.999 9)for gallic acid and 0.1-50 μg/mL (r =0.992 2)for procyanidin B2 ,respectively.The average recoveries of catechin,epicatechin,gallic acid and PCB2 were 98.36%,98.21%,89.60% and 98.47%,respectively and the RSDs were 1.39%,0.84%,2.12% and 2.46%,respectively.The method is simple,accurate,reproducible and can be used for assay of C,EC,GA,PCB2 in procyanidins.There was a great difference in the content of four substance in procyanidins purchased from dif-ferent manufacturers.

Objective To investigate the correlation between food intolerance and Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura (HSP) in children and the efficacy of food forbidden or alternative therapy. Methods The levels of IgG against several common food in serum obtained from 40 children with HSP were measured by ELISA. The efficacy of food forbidden or alternative food therapy was assessed after 3 months. Results Total positive rate of serum food-intolerant IgG antibodies in HSP children was 92.5%. Among these 14 intolerant foods, the positive percentage of egg was the highest (33.8%), followed by tomato (14.9%), milk (13.5%) and morrhua (12.2%). Significant differences of the sort and degree of food intolerance existed among different age groups (t=2.257, P=0.045), but not between boys and girls (t=1.053, P=0.315), city and countryside (t= 1.388, P=0.193). There was no linear correlation between total food intolerance and serum IgG level (t=0.793, P=0.445). Food intolerance had no direct relation to immune complex deposition in kidneys of HSP nephritis (r =-0.262, P =0.387). The efficacy of adjusting diet was 95% . Conclusions HSP is closely related to food intolerance. Egg is the most common intolerant food. Food forbidden or alternative therapy shows acceptable efficacy in the treatment of most Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura children.

Objective To investigate the medication safety and relevant influence factors among the elderly with chronic diseases,to improve the safety of the elderly medication,and provide the theory basis for the rational use of drugs.Methods Questionnaire survey was conducted on 452 elderly outpatients with chronic diseases using self-designed questionnaire.Results 21.7％ (98/452) of the elderly took seven or more drugs.The incidence of adverse drug reactions was 38.4％ (174/452).The prevalence in the top three were cardiovascular disease [61.3％ (277/452)],diabetes [53.5％ (242/452)],and lung disease [42.0％ (190/452)].Old people had unsafe medication behaviors including missing medication,stopping medication on their own,increased or reduced dosages of medicine and taking overdue medication,and so on.Logistic regression analysis showed that the main influence factors of medication safety were age,previous occupation,educational level,monthly household income per capita,medication time,the source of drugs and whether received medication safety health education (P＜0.05).Conclusions Relative lack of safety knowledge,wrong cognition and behaviors exist in the elderly.It is worthy of paying attention to adverse drug reactions and hidden dangers of the elderly.

Objective: To explore the clinical and echocardiography characteristics between noncompaction of ventricular myocardium (NVM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) combining hypertrabeculation in order to distinguish NVM from DCM.
Methods: Our research included 2 groups of patients: NVM group,n=31 and DCM combining hypertrabeculation group, n=50. The basic information as gender, age, family history, symptoms, ECG, plasma levels of BNP and echocardiography were recorded and examined in all patients; the size of cardiac chambers, myocardium, endocardium and hemodynamics were particularly focused. The trabeculation was analyzed by 17 segments method.
Results:①Compared with NVM group, the patients in DCM combining hypertrabeculation group had the worse cardiac classiifcation, higher plasma levels of BNP (P<0.05) and more obvious cardiac dilatation.②The patients in NVM group had the most trabeculation segments (9.82 ± 2.02) and the apical (17th segment) was involved, patients had the higher ratio of noncompacton/compaction (NC/C) as (2.84 ± 0.61), there were (4.12 ± 2.68) segments with NC/C > 2.③The patients in DCM combining hypertrabeculation group had the less trabeculation segments (5.56 ± 1.56) and the apical was seldom involved, patients had the lower ration of NC/C as (1.91± 0.42), there was at most 1 segment with NC/C > 2. All P<0.05.
Conclusion: Echocardiography is a simple, practical and noninvasive method to distinguish NVM from DCM. NVM could be diagnosed by obvious left ventricular apex involvement with NC/C >2 in at least 2 segments of free ventricular walls.

Objective To investigate the effect of total flavonoid of Herba Pyrolae(TFHP) on the changes of ECG in rats with acute myocardial ischemia as well as the mechanism of the action.Methods Acute myocardial ischemic model was established by intravenous injection of pituitrin in rats,and ECG was recorded.Acute myocardial infarction model was established by the ligation of left descending coronary artery in rats,and serum level of nitric oxide(NO) and free fatty acid(FFA) was determined with spectrophotometrical method besides ECG.Results In comparison with the model controls,TFHP antagonized the decreased T wave by pituitrin and ligating coronary artery,and increased NO level and reduced FFA concentration in the serum of rats with acute myocardial ischemia.Conclusion TFHP protects the myocardium from ischemic injury possibly through increasing NO release and decreasing FFA production.

Objective To establish the proper review rules for the microscopic screening of urine analyzed by UF-1000i automatic urinalysis work station (composed of UF-1000i urine flow cytometer and AX-4030 urine dry chemical analyzer).Methods A total of 2 839 random urine samples were collected at Chinese People′s Liberation Army General Hospital from September 2009 to February 2010, and were analyzed using UF-1000i urinalysis work station.The parameters obtained from UF-1000i and AX-4030 included RBC, WBC, CAST and ERY, LEU, PRO.After analysis by urinalysis work station, each urine sample was examined microscopically by two technologists using double-blind method.The average results got from the two technologists were regarded as the judging criterion.Based on the criterion, the review rules for the 2 839 urine samples tested by urinalysis work station were created and adjusted, and the true positive rate, false positive rate, true negative rate, false negative rate and review rate of these review rules were calculated.After that, 299 randomly selected urine samples were tested to validate these review rules.Omission diagnostic rate and review rate were used to assess the clinical practicability of the review rules.Results Thirty seven rules for microscopic review and twenty seven rules without further microscopic examination were set up based on six parameters using UriAccess 3.0 Software.The microscopic examination result was taken as the judging criterion, the consistency rate of these rules was 81.11%(2 311/2 839), the true positive rate was 40.51%(1 150/2 839), the false positive rate was 16.17%(459/2 839), the true negative rate was 41.00%(1 164/2 839), the false negative rate(omission diagnostic rate) was 2.43%(69/2 839) and the review rate was 18.28% (519/2 839).Additional 299 urine samples were assayed using UriAccess3.0 software to further verify these review rules.The consistency rate was 82.27%(246/299), the true positive rate was 36.12%(108/299), the false positive rate was 16.39%(49/299), the true negative rate was 46.15%(138/299), the false negative rate(omission diagnostic rate) was 1.34%(4/299), the review rate was 19.06%(57/299). The 4 false negative samples selected by these review rules did not come from the nephropathy department or the urology department.Microscopic results of RBC and WBC form these 4 samples ranged 3-8 cells/HP. Thus, these review rules could avoid the missed diagnosis of those patients with severe renal dysfunction.Conclusion The review rules established from this study for the UF-1000i urinalysis work station can effectively detect abnormal urine samples and improve the efficiency and the quality of urinalysis in routine clinical practice.
