An automated analytical method for simultaneous determination of vitamin A and E in livers, fortified infant formulae and eggs has been developed based on on-line solid phase extraction (SPE) coupled with a dual gradient high performance liquid chromatography system with column-switching. Firstly, food samples were centrifuged after saponified in mixture solution of anhydrous alcohol, potassium hydroxide and ascorbic acid at 80 ℃ for 30 min. Secondly, the saponified sample was loaded and washed on the first dimension extraction column using methanol-water (60∶40, V/V). Afterwards, the targeted analytes were trapped and enriched on the SPE column. Finally, the trapped analytes were transferred to the second dimension analysis column by valve-switching technique for the following separation and determination. Several key factors such as the type of SPE columns, elution buffer as well as pH of washing solution were optimized. The results showed that the calibration curves of vitamin A and E were linear in the range of 0 . 02-20 mg/L with correlation coefficient (R2) more than 0. 9998. In addition, the limits of detection (S/N=3) were found in the range of 3. 0-30. 0 μg/L. The spiked recoveries of the vitamin A and E from livers, eggs and fortified infant formulae ranged from 87 . 3% to 115 . 0% with the relative standard deviations ( RSDs ) of 1 . 8% -4 . 6%. The developed method is simple, sensitive and rapid to determine vitamins A and E in animal derived food.

Objective To study the characteristics of clustering of cardiovascular risk factors in patients less than 50 years-old of premature stable coronary heart disease(PSCHD)complicated with nonalcoholic fatty liver(NAFL).Methods One hundred and six patients with documented PSCHD were recruited into this study and their clinical data,including biochemical parameters,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hsCRP),white blood cell(WBC)count,ete.,were analyzed based on whether they had NAFL by B-type ultrasound scanning and their homeostasis model assessment ratio(Homa-IR)by the criteria for metabolic syndrome formulated by the International Diabetes Federation.Results Thirty-two (30.1percent)of 106 patients of PSCHD complicated with NAFL,and 74(69.9 percent)without NAFL. As compared to patients without NAFL,patients with NAFL had higher fasting blood glucose(FBS),serum level of insulin(INS),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),serum activity of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),hsCRP,WBC count,body mass index(BMI),Homa-IR,and higher proportion of those with abnormal blood glucose,hypertension.metabolic syndrome(MS)and carotid atherosclerosis (CA)(P＜0.05),respectively.Bi-variate correlation analysis revealed that hsCRP positively correlated to BMI,TG,ALT and Homa IR(r=0.420,P=0.000;r=0.200,P=0.040;r=0.218,P=0.048:and r=0.546,P=0.000,respectively)and inversely correlated with serum level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)(r=-0.220,P=0.023).WBC count positively correlated with FBS(r=0.211,P=0.030).BMI,hsCRP,ALT,and proportions of hypertension,diabetes,MS,NAFL and CA in patients with Homa-IR above median were significantly higher than those in patients with that below median ( P＜0.05,respectively).Conclusions More risk faetors for chronic inflammatory reaction,cardiovascular disease and insulin resistance were clustered more obviously in patients of PSCHD complicated with NAFL.

Objective To investigate the osteogenie and adipogenic difference of bone marrowdeftved mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)between patients with aplastic anemia(AA)and healthy volunteers and to explore the role of MSCs adipo-differentiation in the pathogenetic mechanism of AA.Methods MSCs were isolated from bone marrow of patients with AA and healthy donors and expanded in vitro.MSCs derived from the AA patients and healthy volunteers were compared with respect to morphology,in vitro proliteration capacity,phenotype,differentiation ability and gene expression during differentiation.Results The MSCs clones in the AA patients were(19.30±4.77)/(5×105 MNCs)7 days after culture,being significantly lower than those in the healthy volunteers,which was(47.72±3.46)/(5×105 MSCs)(P＜0.05).Compared with those the healthy donors,MSCs from the AA patients had similar proliferative capacity in the first 8 passages and then decreased in the following passages.MSCs from different sources had the same Dhenotype.MSCs from the AA patients could differentiate more easily into adipocytes but less easily and slower into osteoblasts than those from the healthy volunteers.Conclusion The increased adipogenic capacity and decreased osteogenic capacity of MSCs in AA patients may contribute to the development and progress of AA.

AIM: To investigate the effect on growth and activity of telomerase in esophageal carcinoma cells by inhibiting ubiquitin-proteasome pathway(UPP). METHODS: The esophageal carcinoma cell strain Eca9706 was treated with MG-132 to inhibit its UPP specially. The effect of growth suppression on cells was evaluated with MTT assay, morphologic changes of cells were observed under microscope, cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). DNA fragment analysis was used to confirm the presence of apoptosis. The activity of telomerase was detected. RESULTS: MG-132 had obvious inhibitory effect on the growth of Eca9706 cells in a dose and time-dependent manner. Obvious pathologic change of cells were observed under microscope, cells became round, small and exfoliating. The FCM analysis showed that the ratio of esophageal carcinoma cells of G_1 phase increased and a obviously apoptotic sub-G_1 peak was found. Agarose electrophoresis showed marked ladder. The activity of telomerase was obviously inhibited. CONCLUSIONS: MG-132 significantly inhibits the growth and the activity of telomerase of Eca 9706 cells. These findings indicate that inhibiting UPP is a new strategy for the treatment of esophageal carcinoma. [
