Objective:To estimate the pharmacokinetics for two solution types of propofol glycoside in-jections in rats .Methods:A high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry ( HPLC-MS) was established for measuring propofol in rat plasma .Two kinds of propofol glycoside injec-tions were developed and intravenously administered to rats via tail vein , respectively , and a commercial-ly available propofol emulsion injection was intravenously administered as a control .Propofol plasma concentration-time curves were determined , and the pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated .Re-sults:HPLC-MS measurement was performed by using a quadrupole-orbit trap high-resolution mass spec-trometer on a C18 chromatographic column.The mobile phase consisted of water and methanol (20∶80, V/V) .The ion source was an atmospheric pressure chemical ion source , and the negative ion was used for detection with a scanning mode of selective ion monitoring in which m/z 177.127 4 was used for propofol and m/z 149.096 1 used for thymol as an internal standard .A linear correlation between con-centration and peak area ratio was constructed in the range of 50 μg/L-10.0 mg/L propofol.The limit of quantification was 50μg/L propofol .The average recoveries of propofol from plasma were in the range of 93.6% -101.1%, and intra-day or inter-day relative standard deviation for measurement was <14%.The pharmacokinetic results showed that the two kinds of propofol glycoside injections exhibited the same pharmacokinetic behavior .However, the clearance and area under curve values of propofol for the two propofol glycoside injections were evidently increased as compared with those for propofol emulsion injection, respectively.Furthermore, their apparent distribution volumes were increased as well .Never-theless, the propofol elimination half-life (t1/2) value of the newly developed propofol glycoside injections was the same as that of commercial propofol emulsion injection (approximately 1.5 h).Conclusion:The established HPLC-MS method can be used for measuring propofol concentration accurately in rat plasma . The clearance and distribution volumes of propofol glycoside injection are bigger than those of the propofol emulsion injection .

Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of propranolol in infantile hemangiomas by comparing with prednisone.Methods A systematic literature search of PubMed,Embase,Cochrane,Ovid,Google Scholar and CNKI,VIP,Wanfang database was conducted to identify studies about the treatment of propranolol in children with hemangiomas.We chose randomized controlled trials and clinical controlled trials.We selected literatures by certain standards.Results Eight papers including 9 studies were identified by the strategy mentioned above.These 8 literatures met our inclusion criteria after review by two independent reviewers.The studies comprised 407 patients.Six of the control group were oral prednisone,and there was no statistic heterogeneity (P =0.09,I2 =0%).The fixed model was used to do the statistic analysis.The outcome showed the effective rate of propranolol was higher than that of prednisone,with statistically significant difference (OR=7.56,95% CI:3.18-17.98).Three of the control group included observation or oral placebo,without statistic heterogeneity (P=0.48,I2=0%) either.The outcome showed the effective rate of propranolol on hemangioma was higher than that of the control group (OR=23.15,95%CI:7.15-74.94).Of all the eight researches,five reported adverse effects,with statistic heterogeneity (P=0.0003,I2 =81 %).In addition,the adverse rate of propranolol was lower than that of prednisone,with statistically significant difference (OR=0.12,95% CI:0.02-0.75).Conclusions The results of this meta-analysis show that oral propranolol could obviously decrease the volume and improve the color of infantile hemangiomas.And propranolol is a significantly more effective for IH than steroids.The incidence of adverse effects of propranolol is also lower than that of prednisone.As a result,propranolol should be recommended as the first choice therapy for infantile hemangioma.

Objective To examine the advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) in patients with acute coronary syndrome(ACS) and discuss the relationship between oxidative stress with the development of atherosclero-sis(AS). Methods Plasma were collected in 59 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients including 35 patients underwent selective PCI,24 patients underwent emergency PCI,43 unstable angina pectoris(UA) patients and 10 non-coronary artery disease (non-CAD) patients. All cases underwent coronary angiography (CAG). Plasma was collected immediately,post-24 hours and post-48 hours after admission. AOPP was determined by measurements of absorbance (A) at 340 nm under acidic conditions via spectrophotometry. Results AOPP was (236.42±30.41) ( n = 35 ), ( 207.84±29.50 ) mmol/L ( n = 35 ), ( 227.79 ± 35.18 ) mmol/L ( n = 31 ) respectively immediately, post-24 hours and post-48 hours after admission in AMI ( selective PCI ), ( 239.95 ±39.94 ) mmol/L ( n = 43 ), (175.92 ±29.46) mmol/L(n =38) ,and (156.54 ±28.29) mmol/L(n =35) in UA group and (57.41 ± 13.60) mmol/L( n = 9 ), (56.11 + 11.90) mmol/L ( n = 10 ) and ( 61.75 ± 12.28 ) mmol/L ( n = 8 ) in non-CAD group. Compared with normal group ( without CAD ) , significantly higher plasma AOPP was detected in AMI ( selective PCI) and UA patients ( P < 0.05 ). AOPP level was significantly increased in AMI selective PCI patients as compared with that of emergency PCI group immediately and post-24 hours after admission( P <0.01 ) ,and post-48 hours after admission( P < 0.05 ), but there was no statistical significance between emergency PCI and UA group( P > 0.05 ). Conclusions Oxidative stress is an important step in the development of atherosclerosis, and the higher levels of AOPP in ACS patients show that AOPP may be as good markers in these patients.
