A method of direct determining the residual rivanol in human albumin preparations without separation by first-order derivative spectrophoto- metry using Pye Unicam SP8-100 spec- trophotometer was reported.The stan- dart curves had a correlation coeffi- cient r=0.9990,the average recovery was 90.45% and the coefficient of variation was 3.27%.The method is simple,rapid and practical,and there- fore it can be used as a routine analytical method for quality control of human albumin preparations.

The plasma fibronectin(FN) tevel(?SD)determined in 40 nor- mal subjects by the single radial im- munodiffusion method,was 292.48? 43.11 ?g/ml,whereas the plasma FN level(?SD)determined in 30 pa- tients with acute leukemia,was 209.49?69.56 ?g/ml,with p being0.05).In ad- dition,the FN concetration deter- mined in 89 bags of cryoprecipitate prepared by our institute,was 1.5583 ?0.4476 mg/ml,which was consi- tent with that reported abroad,and sthe recovery of FN was higher than that found in the literature(p

Aim To examine the protective effects of allopregnanolone against seizure on different animal models.Methods　The protective effects of allopregnanolone against maximal electrical seizure (MES) and picrotoxin-induced seizure were studied in C57 mice 15 minutes after vehicle or drug intraperitoneal administration.Results　In the MES test, we found that pretreatment with the phenobarbital or allopregnanolone produced a dose-dependent protective effect against seizure. The potency (ED50 value) of phenobarbital in the MES test was 2.40 mg·kg-1, with 95% confidence interval range from 1.22 to 4.72 mg·kg-1. The potency (ED50 value) of allopregnanolone in the MES test was 0.086 mg·kg-1, with 95%confidence interval range from 0.037 to 0.201 mg·kg-1, which was significantly higher than that of phenobarbital (P<0.01). The combination study of half ED50 values of phenobarbital and allopregnanolone resulted in a 80% of protective effect in MES test, which was higher than 50% produced by either phenobarbital or allopregnanolone at their ED50 values respectively. This result indicated that there was a synergism between phenobarbital and allopregnanolone in their anticonvulsant activities. In the picrotoxin test, we found that pretreatment with the allopregnanolone also produced a dose-dependent protective effect against picrotoxin-induced seizure. The potency of allopregnanolone in the picrotoxin seizure test was 0.123 mg·kg-1, with 95% confidence interval range from 0.058 to 0.263 mg·kg-1.Conclusion　Allopregnanolone(ip) could protect different seizures in a dose-dependent manner,had a higher potency than phenobarbital,and had synergism with phenobarbital in the MES test.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of formaldehyde inhalation on the allergic rhinitis mice model. METHOD: Forty-eight male BALB/C mice in six experimental group were exposure to (A) saline control; (B) Der p1; (C) formaldehyde (3.0 mg/m3); (D) Derp1 + formaldehyde (1.5 mg/m3); (E) Der p1 + formaldehyde (3.0 mg/M3); (F) Der p1+ formaldehyde (6.0 mg/m3). The concentrations of IL-4, IL-10 and IFN-γ in the peripheral serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Nasal mucosal inflammation was evaluated by HE staining. Result: Formaldehyde exposure could increase the number of allergic rhinitis mice with sneezing and rubbing nose. The levels of IL-4 and IL-10 in group B, D, E and F were higher than that ingroup A (P < 0.05). Compared with the group C, the group D, E and F could effectively increase serum IL-4 and IL-10. The concentration of IL-4 in group E and F was higher than that of group B, while the group C was lower (P < 0.05). The concentration of IL-10 in group D, E and F was higher than that in group B (P < 0.05). The expression of IFN-γ in group B, D, E and F was lower than that in group A. While, the IFN-γ expression in group B was lower than that of group C and higher than that in group F (P < 0.05). Moreover, the concentration of IFN-γ in group D, E and F was lower compared with group C (P < 0.05). The nasal mucosa HE staining showed that the density of EOS increased simultaneously in formaldehyde exposure allergic rhinitis groups. CONCLUSION The study showed that formaldehyde exposure can promote Th2 cytokines and eosinophil infiltration and then aggravate the allergic rhinitis symptoms.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlative between anxiety and coping mode of parents of children with air way foreign bodies. METHODS Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and simplified coping style questionnaire (SCSQ) were used to investigate the anxiety level and coping mode among 212 parents of children with airway foreign bodies. RESULTS The SAS scores of parents of children with airway foreign bodies was considerably higher than China normal, there was significant difference between the two (P <0.01), the positive coping style score was higher (P<0.05), while the negative coping style score was lower than the normal (P <0.01). The SAS score was significantly and positively related to the negative coping style score (P<0.01), and not related to the positive coping style score (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The parents of children with airway foreign bodies have higher anxiety level than the norm, they often take an positive coping style.

Objective To examine the protective effects of allopregnanolone against pentylenetetrazol- induced seizures. Methods The protective effects of allopregnanolone against pentylenetetrazol- induced seizures were studied in C57 mice and SD rats 15 minutes after vehicle or drug intraperitoneal (ip) administration. Results The pretreatment with the allopregnanolone produced a dose- dependent protective effect against pentylenetetrazol- induced seizures. The potencies (ED50 values) were 4.7 mg/kg and 9.8 mg/kg for mice and rats, respectively. Conclusion Allopregnanolone has anticonvulsant activity against pentylenetetrazol- induced seizures in rodents.

Objective To investigate the effect of maternal serum vitamin D (VD)levels on the developing nervous system in in-fants.Methods A total of 1 012 pregnant women's serum VD levels of early pregnancy were given the right amount of VD supple-mentation according to the results.They were divided into 3 groups (normal,deficiency and insufficiency group)according to the third trimester VD levels;and their infants 6-8 months were tested on the developmental quotient (DQ),mental index (MI)and other neurological development index by the Developmental Screening Test for child under six(DST).Results There were up to 94.17% of pregnant women in early pregnancy had severe VD deficiency,the average levels was (16.21 ± 7.54)ng/mL;Although VD levels was increased after supplements,there were 46.25% of pregnant women still deficient in VD.The average DQ score of 1 020 infants was 92.67±16.45 and M1 score was 97.53±17.04,which accorded with normal distribution.The rate of the infants born by mothers who had the normal VD levels were superior to those with VD deficiency and insufficiency on the quotients of out-standing and smart,and there was a significant difference between them(P <0.01).But there was no statistical difference between the deficiency and insufficiency group (P >0.05).The level of VD was positively correlated with DQ and MI,and the correlation coefficients are 0.63 and 0.2(slightly correlated),respectively.Conclusion It should be pay more attention to monitoring the VD levels of the pregnant women during the pregnancy,and for lack should be promptly added.
