It was found that Ag nanoparticles (NPs) could enhance the chemiluminescence (CL) intensity of luminol- potassium ferricyanide system. On the basis of enhancement effect,a flow injection method was developed for the determination of terbutaline sulfate. The structure and shape of Ag NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The UV-Vis absorption spectra and chemiluminescence spectra suggested that new luminophor was not formed after Ag NPs introducing in luminol-potassium ferricyanide chemiluminescence system. A possible mechanism of Ag NPs strengthening on luminol-potassium ferricyanide CL reaction was also discussed. The effect of concentration of luminol,potassium ferricyanide,sodium hydroxide and Ag NPs on CL reaction was investigated respectively. In the optimum conditions,the linear range was 1.0×10~(-9) -2.0 ×10~(-5) g/L(r =0.9935) and the detection limit was 1×10~(-10) g/L. The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 3.6% for 1. 0 ×10~(-6) g/L terbutaline sulfate (n = 11 ). The recommended method has been successfully applied to the determination of terbutaline sulfate tablets and the recovery was between 98. 5% - 102. 5% ,moreover the results were almost identical with the same results of Pharmacopoeia method.

Objective To explore the relationship between metabolic syndrome(MS) and glomerular filtration rate(GFR).Methods A total of 10 140 adults aged 40 years and older inhabitants in Zhaiji community of Guiyang urban areas were investigated from May 2010 to August 2010 by adopting stratified cluster sampling method.The venous blood sample was drawn for the measurements of serum creatinine(Cr), fasting plasma glucose(FPG), OGTT 2hPG, fasting insulin, triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C), and fasting plasma insulin.The definition of MS in our study was modeled after the Adult Treatment Panel Ⅲ(ATP-Ⅲ).Decreased GFR was defined as an estimated GFR<60 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1.Results The prevalence of GFR less than 60 ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1 were 3.0% and 1.2% in participants with and without MS, respectively.The multivariate-adjusted odds ratios[95% confidence interval(CI)] of MS, which were independently associated with decreased GFR, were with elevated blood pressure, higher TG, lower HDL-C, and elevated FPG, their statistically odds ratios were 1.78, 2.96, 1.06, and 1.22, respectively.The prevalence of GFR decreased with the increase of MS components by 0.56%, 1.10%, 1.50%, 2.87%, 3.23%, and the odds ratios were 1.00, 1.57, 1.93, 3.07, and 2.89, respectively.Conclusion With the increase of MS components the risk of GFR decline increased.The occurrence of chronic renal dysfunction(CKD) might integrate multiple different risk factors of MS.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect and mechanism of tea polyphenol (TP) on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) cell line HONEl. METHOD: After treated with different concentration of tea polyphenol, CCK-8 assay, fluorescent staining, cell scratching assay and transwell assay were applied to detect the effect of tea polyphenol on the HONE1 cells. Furthermore, the expression of protein VEGF was investigated by flow cytometry assay. RESULT: It was found that tea polyphenol could inhibit NPC cell proliferation significantly in a dose-dependent manner, however, little impact was observed in normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69. Furthermore, it was demonstrated by fluorescent staining assay that tea polyphenol could induce NPC cell apoptosis, and cell scratching assay and transwell assay showed that tea polyphenol could inhibit cell migration and invasion. CONCLUSION Tea polyphenol can significantly inhibit cell proliferation, induce cell apoptosis and decreased the migration and invasion ability of NPC cells in vitro. Tea polyphenol might be a tumor suppressor of NPC cells.

Objective To investigate the relationship between changes of ankle brachial index (ABI) and adverse cardiovascular events. Methods Baseline survey was conducted in 4 160 forty-year-old or older citizens living in Yunyan District of Guiyang City from May to August of 2011, which was in the way of cluster sampling to obtain their ABI and to collect information related to physical and blood biochemical examination and disease history. These citizens were conducted a follow-up survey for (39.29±1.47) months from July to December of 2014. Based on the change of ABI (ΔABI) from initial survey to follow-up survey, participants were subsequently divided into three groups: ΔABI>0.15 group,-0.15≤ΔABI≤0.15 group and ΔABI<-0.15 group. The adverse cardiovascular events during follow-up survey were compared between three groups. The risk factors affecting the adverse cardiovascular events were analyzed. Results Follow-up surveys were completed in 3 220 citizens in 3 years. The follow-up rate was 77.4%. Eighty-two new cases (2.5%) of adverse cardiovascular events were found in 3 220 cases in follow-up. The incidence rates of adverse cardiovascular events were higher inΔABI<-0.15 group compared with those of-0.15≤ΔABI≤0.15 group (8.3%vs. 2.4%, P<0.016 7). Logistic regression analysis indicated that age, hypertension history, and ΔABI<-0.15 were risk factors for adverse cardiovascular events. Exercise was the protective factor for adverse cardiovascular events. Conclusion Subjects withΔABI<-0.15 are at high risk for adverse cardiovascular events. The ΔABI can be used as a means of monitoring of adverse cardiovascular event, which provides certain forecast value for determining the possibility of adverse cardiovascular event.

Objective To investigate the relationship between brachial ankle pulse wave velocity and the incidence of cardio-cerebral events in people aged over 40. Methods Cluster sampling method was used to prospectively study 4 380 residents aged over 40 in Guiyang City District from May to August in 2011. Data of ba-PWV were collected. The follow-up examination was conducted from July to November of 2014. According to ba-PWV values, participants were divided into three groups:<14 m/s (control, n=1 039) group, 14-17.9 m/s group (n=1 393) and≥18 m/s group (n=809). Multi-factor Logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between ba-PWV values and risk factors of cardio-cerebral events. Results After three-year follow-up, a total of 3 241 participants were included in the final analysis. The cardio-cerebral events were identified in 63 (2.0%) cases, which were 0.6%, 2.2%and 3.2%in control group, 14-17.9 m/s group and≥18 m/s group. The value of ba-PWV increased significantly in those two groups compared with that of normal group. Logistic regression analysis showed that the incidence rates of cardiovascular and cerebralvascular events in 14-17.9 m/s group and≥18 m/s group were 2.777 (1.123-6.864) and 2.786 (1.032-7.526) times of control group after adjusting age, gender, systolic blood pressure, risk factors of diabetes, hypertension and blood lipids. Conclusion There is higher incidence rate of cardio-cerebral events in people aged over 40 in higher ba-PWV group. The value of Ba-PWV can be used to predict the occurrence of cardio-cerebral events.
