Objective To establish the method of liquid chromatography-mass spectrum for the determination of /Ginsenoside-Rd in human urine. Methods With the gentiopicroside as internal standard, the dilution method was adopted to treat the urine samples. Electrospmy ionization(ESI)source was applied and operated in the positive ion mode. Multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)mode was used to detect Ginsenoside-Rd content. Results By this method the linearity limit of Ginsenoside-Rd is 30.3～ 10 100 ng? mL-1, the lower quantitative limit is (30.3? 2.16) ng? mL-1, and the inter-and intra-day precision (RSD) was less than 10 % . Conclusions This is an accurate, sensitive, specific and convenient method, which can be used for the determination of Ginsenoside-Rdin urine of the healthy human.

Objective To investigate the influence of caspase-3 on the apoptosis of glomerulus cells in chronic arsenic poisoning. Methods Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats in cleanliness grade were randomly divided into high-dose group,low-dose group and control group,10 in each (5 males and 5 females). The rats in high and low groups were treated with As2O3 through drinking water,10 and 0.4 mg/(kg?d) respectively,for four months. The content of arsenic in the blood and urine was determined. The expression of caspase-3 in the glomerulus cells was detected by SABC immunohistochemistry and analyzed through image patterns. Results Compared with the control group,a higher arsenic content in the blood and urine,more positive cells of caspase-3 and lower OD value the glomerulus cells were found in both of high-dose and low-dose groups. Compared with low-dose group,a higher arsenic content in the blood and urine,more positive cells of caspase-3 and the lower value of grey degree in the renal glomerulus cells were all found in high-dose group. Conclusion The obvious increase of caspase-3 in the glomerulus cells may play a role in the apoptosis of the glomerulus cells induced by chronic arsenic poisoning.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between hMLH1 mutation and promoter methylation and genetic instability in gastric carcinomas. Methods hMLH1 mutation was measured by two dimentional DNA electrophoresis and DNA sequencing. The methylation of hMLH1 promoter was measured with methylation specific PCR. MSI was analyzed by PCR based methods. Results Sixty eight cases of sporadic gastric carcinoma were studied for hMLH1 mutation and promoter methylation. hMLH1 mutaions were detected in three cases (4.4%) of gastric cancer. No association was observed between hMLH1 mutation and tumor size, differentiation, histological type, depth of invasion, metastasis or stages. Methylation of hMLH1 promoter was detected in 11 cases (16.2%) of gastric cancer. By using five microsatellite markers, MSI in at least one locus was detected in 17 of 68 (25%) cases of the tumors analyzed. hMLH1 mutations were all detected in MSI H(≥2 loci, n =8), but no mutation was found in MSI L (only one locus, n =9) or MSS (tumor lacking MSI or stable, n =51). Methylation frequence of hMLH1 in MSI H was significantly higher than that in MSI L or MSS ( P 0.05). Conclusion hMLH1 mutation and promoter methylation may be involved in MSI pathway in gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the risk factors of surgical site infection(SSI)in patients undergoing selective brain tumor resection,and provide reference for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods Patients who under-went selective brain tumor resection in the neurosurgery department of a hospital during April-September 2013 and April-September 2014 were monitored prospectively,monitoring programme and individualized questionnaire were formulated,the basic data,operation condition,postoperative symptoms/signs,laboratory test results,infection-related factors,and antimicrobial use in patients were collected,risk factors for infection were analyzed.Results A total of 205 patients were investigated,23 (11 .22%)of whom had SSI;univariate analysis showed that body mass index (BMI),NNIS score,and cerebrospinal fluid leakage were related to the occurrence of SSI(all P<0.05);lo-gistic regression analysis showed that high NNIS score and cerebrospinal fluid leakage were independent risk factors for SSI in patients undergoing selective brain tumor resection(both P<0.05).Conclusion Incidence of SSI is high-er in patients with selective brain tumor resection,corresponding preventive measures should be taken according to different risk factors including cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

BACKGROUND:The number of complications after hip replacement, such as infection, implant loosening, fracture prosthesis wear, osteolysis, and recurrent dislocation, had drastical y increased. These complications would induce the increased occurrence of total hip revision.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the causes and treatment measures of revision after total hip replacement. METHODS:The reasons for revision, the prosthesis selection, the treatment of bone defect and the postoperative rehabilitation were discussed in 33 cases after total hip replacement. The prosthesis for revision included general metal ring and lining (21 cases), large head and cup (8 cases), polyethylene cup (4 cases), general femoral components (15 cases, including 11 cases fixed by bone cement), and lengthening femoral components (18 cases, including 9 cases fixed by bone cement and 6 cases of combined components).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al 33 patients were fol owed up for 24-60 months, averagely 36.5 months. After revision, wound healed perfect, and the prosthesis was reliable. No case suffered from infection or dislocation. Hip joint function was greatly improved. Harris score was increased from 37.1 preoperatively to 91.3 postoperatively. Medium-or short-period clinical fol ow-up results demonstrated that if the indication of revision was right, bone defects were handled perfectly, prosthesis was chosen correctly, one-stage total hip revision can get a good clinical efficacy.
