This paper is to report the development of a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of s-oleylpropanolamide (OPA) in various tissues of rat (brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, small intestine, kidney, adipose tissue and muscle), and to assess the applicability of the assay to tissue distribution. OPA was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction method with undecylenoylethanolamide as an internal standard. The concentrations of OPA were determined by LC-MS/MS after a single intragastric dose of 50 mg x kg(-1) at 4 time points (5 rats per group). With multiple reactions monitoring mode (MRM) the limit of quantification (LLOQ) was determined at 1 microg x L(-1). The calibration curve was linear from 1 to 2 x 104 microg x L(-1) (r > or = 0.999 0) for tissue homogenates. Validation parameters such as accuracy, precision and recovery were found to be within the acceptance criteria of the assay validation guidelines. The highest concentration was found in small intestine (the highest time point is 15 min) and heart (the highest time point is 90 min). The assay is rapid, sensitive and applicable to studying tissue distribution of OPA in rats.

Objective To explore the association of the Arg64 polymorphism β-3-adrenergic receptor(β3-AR) gene with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)and its characterization with obesity,insulin resistance(IR)，blood pressure (BP), blood lipid spectrum. Methods The polymorphism of the β-3-AR gene was determined in 163 patients with PCOS and 100 controls. Body mass index(BMI), waist to hip circumference ratio(WHR), BP were examined. Blood glucose,blood lipid spectrum,insulin were also measured. Insulin resistance index was calculated. Results The frequency of Arg64 allele in PCOS women was significantly higher than that of controls(0.33 vs 0.13 respectively, P<0.05). Fasting insulin, insulin resistance index, WHR in Arg64 group were significantly higher than those of Trp64 group. The frequency of Arg64 allele was positively correlated with FINS, insulin resistance index, WHR. Conclusion The Arg64 mutation in the β-3-adrenergic receptor(β-3-AR) gene might contribute to development of PCOS and IR.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of ketogenic diet (KD) therapy in the epilepsy of infancy with migrating focal seizures (EIMFS) associated with TBC1D24 gene mutation.Methods:Clinical data of two children with TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS were collected retrospectively, who were admitted to Department of Pediatrics, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from 2019 to 2020. Their clinical characteristics and the efficacy and safety of KD therapy were analyzed, and literature review was conducted.Results:Seizures were onset before six months old in the two children with TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS. Multifocal myoclonic seizures were manifested and happened frequently, lasting for more than 30 minutes sometimes. Developmental retardation was obvious in the two children. A small amount of focal sharp, spike, sharp-slow complex, and spike-slow complex waves were showed in the interictal electroencephalography (EEG). TBC1D24 gene mutations were found in the two children, one with a compound heterozygous mutation (c.1025C>T, p.S342L; c.229_c.240delATCGTGGGCAAG,p.I77_K80del), and the other with a homozygous mutation [c.119G>A,p.R40H(Arg40His)]. Both of those were potentially pathogenic. A variety of anti-epileptic drugs showed poor outcome for the two children. The epilepsy was drug-refractory one. After four to 17 months of KD therapy, the epilepsy in the two children was controlled effectively. There was not obvious adverse reactions. Among six children with TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS in the literature review, four cases were effective or partially effective for KD therapy, one was discontinued due to insufficient ketogenic ratio, and one was discontinued without effect. There were no obvious adverse reactions in the six children.Conclusions:TBC1D24 gene-related EIMFS is mostly drug-refractory epilepsy. Early KD therapy may help to control seizures.

Objective To evaluate the effect of rosiglitazone on insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) Methods Rosiglitazone was given 4 mg daily to 30 patients with PCOS for 12 weeks Before and after treatment, body mass index(BMI), plasma glucose, insulin, levels insulin resistance index (HOMA IR), blood lipid spectrum, leptin, neuropeptide Y, and sex hormone concentrations and ovulation rate were determined and compared Results After 12 weeks of treatment, basal insulin level decreased from (18?8) to (12?7) mIU/L ( P

Objective To elucidate the experience and attitude of bad news delivery from nurses to advanced cancer patients, in order to offer better nursing care to the dying cancer patients as well as to provide evidence for end-of-life cancer care. Methods A phenomenological research method of qualitative study was employed in this study. Fifteen nurses caring for dying cancer patients were in-depth interviewed with semi-structured interview guide. Colaizzi analytical method was adopted to collect and analyze the data, which was then organized into themes and subthemes. Results Three themes wereconflict between will and behavior barriers of bad news delivery delivery with comprehensive assessment of dying cancer patients. Conclusions Though the oncology nurses thought the dying cancer patients should be told they were dying, few nurses did that. Communication and hope maintenance related to end-of-life cancer care training should be offered to oncology nurses, as well bad news delivery to ensure cancer patients′safety.

Objective To propose a novel computer-aided segment algorithm, and retrospectively investigate its effect on radiologist's sensitivity and specificity for discriminating malignant masses from benign masses basing on ultrasound images. Methods Four hundred and sixty-six images of 100 masses obtained by conventional ultrasound were processed by a novel segment algorithm. Radiologists who were blind to the histology results were invited to analyse the original and computerized images respectively. The sensitivity and specificity were calculated by means of a binary outcome using receiver operating characteristic(ROC) analysis. Results By using the segment algorithm, the quantity of the image was obviously improved, especially the margin and calcification of the masses. The diagnostic performance of the radiologists was also improved. The sensitivity rose from 70.32% to 90.52% while the specificity was 74.31%. The area under the ROC curve increased significantly (P<0.01) from 80.8% to 90.5%. Conclusions The proposed segmentation algorithm can improve the diagnosis performance of the radiologists by meliorating the quality of the ultrasound image.
