The paper reports the establishment of a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for simultaneous analysis of 11 opiates in hair samples, and the study of presence of opiates in the hair of active heroin addicts. About 20 mg of decontaminated and pulverized hair sample was hydrolyzed with buffer solution for 30 min, in the presence of morphine-d3 and acetylmorphine-d6 used as internal standards, and then extracted with the mixture of dichlormethane and isopropanol, separated by the Allure PFP propyl column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 20 mmol L(-1) ammonium acetate buffer, and then analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used to analyze 11 opiates. Eleven opiates showed a fairly good linearity over the corresponding range (r > 0.996 0). The detection limits were less than 0.05 ng mg(-1). The recoveries were between 47.2% and 110%, and the deviations of intra- and inter-day precision were less than 14%. Heroin, acetylmorphine, morphine, codeine, acetylcodeine and hydrocodone were detected in hair samples of 21 herion addicts. The developed method shows high sensitivity and selectivity, and is suitable for the simultaneous analysis of 11 opiates in hair samples and identify legal and illegal use of opiates.

Objective To discuss the best resistance factors of paclitaxel(Taxinol)on benign biliary scar fibrosis,in order to provide an effective basis for clinical prevention and treatment of benign biliary scar fibrosis.Methods Human bile duct epithelial cells were cultured in vitro,the prepared PTX at 0.001 uM,0.005 uM,0.1 uM,0.5 uMand 1 uMconcentration were separately added into cells for 48 h.The half inhibitory rate of BEC (IC50) were determined by MTT and the optimal concentration were confirmed.Human bile duct epithelial cells were cultured in 0 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h,the inhibitory rate of BEC at 100 nM,250 nM,and 500 nM PTX-Chitosan Sustained release membranes and the optimal concentration of PTX were determined by MTT and the optimal concentration of PTX-SRM were obtained.Human bile duct epithelial cells were cultured for 48 h and 72 h,the mRNA and protein expression ofα-SMA,E-cadherin,Vimentin were detected by Western Blot and Real-time PCR methods.Results The optimum resistance concentration of PTX to benign biliary scar was 250 nM.PTX and PTX-SRM could effectively inhibit the proliferation and transformation of BEC,and the best effective treatments to resist benign biliary scar fibrosis were low and middle concentrations of PTX-SRM,the best drug loading were 100 nMand 250 nM.The inhibition duration of PTX-SRMon BEC was longer than PTX alone(P<0.05).Conclusion The inhibition of PTX-SRMon BEC proliferation and transformation is better than the single drug of PTX,which provides a new scientific and feasible method for clinical prevention and treatment of benign biliary scar.

Objective To explore the effect of Paclitaxel-Chitosan Sustain film on growth, apoptosis and cell cycle of biliary fibroblasts cells. Methods Human biliary fibroblasts cells were cultured and treated with PTX-CSF and naked PTX,separately, untreated cells as blank control. The experiment was divided into five groups:untreated group, simple PTX-treated group (250nM) and low, medium and high chitosan sustained-release film PTX-treated group (100 nM, 250 nM, 500 nM). The proliferations of cells were determined by MTT assay. The apoptosis and cell cycle of cells were detected by FCM. Results The proliferation of biliary fibroblasts cells was inhibited by PTX-CSF with time-dependent and dose-dependent, and the inhibiting effect was more obvious than naked PTX treatment as the time went on. Meanwhile, PTX-CSF could inhibit the magration of bile duct fibroblasts induced by TGF-β1,and had longer effect than naked PTX. After 72 h, the apoptosis rate of cells treated with PTX-CSF was significantly higher than cells treated with naked PTX or untreated cells(P<0.05), the difference between naked PTX or untreated cells was not significant. Compared with untreated cells, the proportion of G 2/M in cells treated with PTX or PTX-CSF were significantly increased, and the former was sinificantly higher than the latter(P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with naked PTX, PTX-CSF has strong cytotoxic effects and obviously sustained-release effect. The effective concentration can be maintain for a long time by PTX-CSF, and it could be as the novel drug delivery system to continuously inhibit proliferation of bile duct fibroblasts.

Objective To explore the clinical value of color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) combined with quantitative analysis technique to evaluate renal flow perflusion. Methods Twenty patients with different renal diseases matched with healthy control subjects were examined with Philips iU22 CDFI system. CDFI system and Qlab quantitative technique were used to measure renal restrictive index(RI), vascularization index(VI), flow index(FI), vascularization-flow index (VFI). The patients all received renal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) examination. Results The RI of 32 kidney with lower flow perfusion in SPECT were higher than in the contol group (P <0.01). VI,FI, VFI were lower than those in control(VI, VFI, P <0.01 ;FI, P <0.05). Conelusious The renal blood flow perfusion of patients with renal diseases are lower than that of healthy people. It has high clinical value using CDFI combined with quantitative analysis technique to evaluate the renal perfusion of the patients with renal diseases.

This study aimed to examine the preparation of cationic lipid microbubble (CLM), and evaluate its physical and chemical properties and toxicity, measure the gene transfection efficiency by ultrasound triggered microbobble destruction (UTMD) in combination with CLM. The CLM was prepared by the method of the thin film hydration, and its morphology was observed under the electron microscopy at 1st, 3rd, 7th, 10th, and 14th day after preparation, respectively. The size, Zeta potential and stability of CLM were tested. The acute toxicity of CLM was assessed. The green fluorescent protein gene (EGFP) transfection efficiency was evaluated. The experiment grouping was as follows: naked plasmid group (P group), ultrasonic irradiation plus naked plasmid group (P-US group), naked plasmid plus CLM group (P-CLM group), naked plasmid plus ultrasound and CLM group (UTMD group). The expression of EGFP was detected by fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. The results showed that CLMs were spherical in shape, with the similar size and good distribution degree under the light and electron microscopies. The size of CLMs was varied from 250.4±88.3 to 399.0±99.8 nm and the Zeta potential of CLMs from 18.80±4.97 to 20.1±3.1 mV. The EGFP expression was the strongest in the UTMD group, followed by the P-CLM group, P-US group and P group. Flow cytometry results were consistent with those of fluorescent microscopy. The transfection efficiency was substantially increased in the P-US group, P-CLM group and UTMD group as compared with that in the P group, almost 7 times, 10 times and 30 times higher than that in the P group respectively. It is suggested that CLMs prepared by the method of thin film hydration are uniform in diameter, and proved non-toxic. UTMD combined with CLM can significantly increase the transfection efficiency of EGFP to targeted cells.

Objective To assess the value of quantitative color Doppler sonography in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods The right renal in 21 patients with SLE and 22 normal subjects were examined with Philips IU22 ultrasonic diagnostic device. Resistence index (RI) of interlobar artery and interlobular artery were measured with color Doppler sonography, vascularity index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularization flow index (VFI) which reflecting the renal cortical blood flow were calculated with quantitated analysis software. All the parameters between two groups were compared and analyzed. Results The color signals of renal cortical blood flow in patients with SLE were inferior to those of the normal group, especially in the area near the edge of renal. No statistical difference of RI was found between the two groups (P>0.05), while VI, FI and VFI in SLE group were significantly lower than those of the normal group (VI, VFI, P<0.01, FI, P=0.01). Conclusion Color Doppler sonography combined with blood flow quantitative technique provide a helpful, sensitive and convenient tool to detecte the renal changes in SLE patients.
