Objective To explore the effect of different concentrations of hypertonic saline for cerebral ede -ma on blood biochemical and osmotic pressure .Methods 60 cases were randomly divided into the 3% HS group, 7.5%HS group and the mannitol group .The patients were randomly assigned to infusion of 3% HS, 7.5% HS or 20%mannitol (all 2 mL/kg).Blood biochemical and osmotic pressure on patients were measured before and after the treatment among groups .Results Serum Na +, Cl -and osmotic pressure were significantly higher at 2 hours and 22 hours of reperfusion than at baseline (p<0.05) in the 7.5% HS group and the mannitol group .The difference were significant on serum Na +, Cl-and osmotic pressure at 2 hours and 22 hours of reperfusion in the 7.5% HS group and the mannitol group than in the 3% HS group(p<0.05).Conclusion 3% hypertonic saline had less effects on blood biochemical and osmotic pressure than other groups for patients of cerebral edema .It is worthy of popularization and application .

A method was developed to assay α-Hydroxyltriazolam and α-Hydroxyalprazolam,　which are the major metabolites of triazolam and alprazolam respectively,in human urine.　After addition of 2-hydroxyflurazepam　(interal standard) and hydrolysis with β-glucuronidase, the hydroxy-metabolites were extracted with hexane-dichloromethane (1∶1) at pH　10.8, then were derivated with (BSTFA). The analysis was performed on a HP-5 capillary column with electron-capture detector.The detection limits of analysis in urine were about 1μg/L.The method was successfully applied to urine specimens collected from healthy human volunteers who ingested 0.5 mg of triazolam or 0.8 mg alprazolam. The method was enough sensitive to assay urine specimen excreted at 24 h by volunteers after taking the medicine.
