OBJECTIVE:To establish and validate the method for the determination of carbamazepine (CBZ) in human plas-ma,and to apply the method for external quality assessment. METHODS:After precipitated with acetonitrile,the plasma sample was determined by LC-MS/MS. Using loratadine as internal standard,the determination was performed on Kromasil C18 column with mobile phase consisted of water (containing 0.1% formic acid)-acetonitrile (gradient elution) at flow rate of 0.6 ml/min and column temperature of 40 ℃. The ion transitions under MRM mode by ESI+ ionization were performed at m/z 237.1→194.0 and m/z 383.1→267.0 for CBZ and internal standard,respectively. RESULTS:The linear range of CBZ were 5-1 000 ng/ml (r>0.998). The limit of quantitation was 5 ng/ml. RSDs of inter-day and intra-day were 1.00%-6.42%;relative deviation were -6.93%-0.32%. The external quality assessment of 5 samples were 679.0,475.0,104.0,29.2 and 26.2 ng/ml,respectively. The pass rate of assess-ment result was 100%. CONCLUSIONS:The method is sensitive,accurate and specific. The method is applicable for the plasma concentration determination and external quality assessment of CBZ.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasonic ablation in patients with chronic deep vein thrombosis of lower extremities. Methods Fifty-six patients with chronic deep vein thrombosis resulting in total occlusion of iliac-femoral veins accepted intra-venous ultrasonic ablation. The time for ultrasonic ablation was 12-24 minutes with the mean being 18 minutes. After the procedure, anti-coagulation was performed through the retaining catheters and venous propeller was utilized for promoting blood reflow. Results Ultrasonic ablation easily created a channel within the occlusive iliac-femoral veins and achieved successful recanalization in 49 of 56 patients (87.5%). Five patients (8.9%) were partially re-canalized and 2 (3.6%) had no recanalization. Thirty-eight of the 49 re-canalized patients were followed up, including 22 with no stent placement showed 9 (40.9%) re-occlusion and 16 received stent placement, and 2 had (12.5%) re-occlusion. Conclusions Intravascular ultrasonic ablation is an effective therapeutic modality to recanalize chronic thrombosed occlusion of iliac-femoral veins and can lay down a foundation for further balloon-expansion or stent-placement with long term patency.
