Objective To establish an analytical method to investigate the protective effect of reversed lipid-based nanoparti-cle(RLBN)for topotecan(TPT)in artificial intestinal fluid. Methods Reversed lipid-based nanoparticle of TPT(RLBN-TPT)was prepared by the two-step methods of lyophilization and dissolution. An analytical method was established to determine the concentra-tions of both forms of TPT by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). Release curve of RLBN-TPT in simulated intestinal flu-id(SIF)was investigated to study the stability of TPT in gastrointestinal(GI)fluid. Results Both lactone and carboxylate forms of TPT were well separated and determined precisely by the optimized HPLC method. The calibration curves were linear within the range of 0.25-5μg/ml for both forms of TPT. Compared with free TPT,RLBN-TPT significantly improved the stability of TPT in SIF as the per-centage of carboxylate form was remarkably lower than the free TPT(P<0.05). Conclusion RLBN can significantly protect the TPT from hydrolysis in GI,which may lay the foundation for the deuelopment of oral chemotherapeutic drug with higher bioavailability.

Objective To evaluate the value of plastic-embedded bone marrow (BM ) biopsy sections in diagnosing myelodysplas-tic syndrome(MDS) .Methods HGF and Gomori stained .Glycol methacrylate(GMA) embedded BM biopsy specimens were detec-ted from 125 MDS patients with 25 cases in good health as control .Dyshematopoiesis and abnormal stroma cell responses were se-lected as main observed projects .Results Bone marrow biopsy sections gave an exact assessment of cellularity ,19 cases (15 .2% ) showed a decrease of cellularity as hypocellular MDS .66 cases(52 .8% ) of these cases did show abnormal localization of erythro-blastic clusters ,biopsy of 64(62% ) of low risk group 103 cases did show abnormal localization of immature precursors such as blasts and promyelocytes(ALIP positive) .Numeration of megakaryocytes and mast cells within 1mm2 acre of BM tissue were all much in MDS group than in control group .Gomori′s stain revealed moderate increase in reticulin fibres in 65 cases ,10 cases(8 .0% ) showed degree of myelofibrosis were + + + as hyperfibrotic MDS .Among 125 cases ,33 cases(26 .4% ) of bone marrow biopsies showed different types of erythrocytic and granulocytic immature cells with unusual intrasinusoidal bone marrow infiltration .Con-clusion It is clear that GMA embedded BM biopsy section is helpful in making diagnosis of MDS ,and has important clinical appli-cation value .

Objective To analyze the clinical and pathologic features in patients with ldiopathic cytopenia of undetermined signif-icance (ICUS) ,and provide the diagnostic basis .Methods 10 ICUS patients who did not fulfil minimal diagnostic criteria for MDS but suffered from constant (>6 months) progressive cytopenia ,with no marked dysplasia (<10% in three-major cell lineages) and abnormal karyotype were reported .Results 2 of 10 patients transited to MDS ,bone marrow review showed that ≥2 cells appeared diagnostic pathology development .Karyotype analysis showed that 1 case was still normal ,1 case lost a normal chromosome 20 (20q-) ,the rest 8 cases had been efollowed up for 6 to 25 months and still maintain ICUS .Conclusion Patients with MDS who fail to meet the diagnostic criteria of ICUS ,must carry out regular follow-up .There are some patients can transition to public MDS after a certain incubation period ,in fact it is Pre-MDS or MDS-early before ,which shows that ICUS should cause clinical attention ,so that avoid missed diagnosis .
