OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for simultaneous determination of 9 common inorganic anions in Huanglian shangqing tablet. METHODS:The accelerated solvent extraction-ion chromatography was adopted. Inorganic anions were deter-mined by Ion Pac AS11-HC anion exchange column,protected by Ion Pac AG11-HC column and eluted by hydroxide potassium so-lution(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 1.2 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃,elution time was 18 min,and sample volume was 25 mL. RESULTS:The linear ranges of fluorinion,formate ion,nitrite ion,bromide ion,nitrate ion,sulfate ion,oxalate ion and phosphate ion were 0.1-5 mg/L(r=0.9990-0.9999). The limits of quantitation were 0.020,0.078,0.030, 0.058,0.052,0.068,0.084,0.064,0.074 mg/L,and the limits of detection were 0.005,0.024,0.008,0.017,0.015,0.022, 0.026,0.020,0.021 mg/L,respectively. RSDs of precision,stability and repeatability were all lower than 4.0%;recoveries were 80.00%-125.08%(RSD ranged 0.97%-2.47%). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,precise,stable and repeatable,and can be used for 9 common inorganic anions in Huanglian shangqing tablet.

BACKGROUND: To prepare a novel biological material that can be implanted into the lesion of bone tuberculosis, keep sustained release of anti-tuberculosis drugs around bone tuberculosis tissues for a long time, and enhance the effect on bone repair has become a hot spot for clinical studies on bone tuberculosis.OBJECTIVE: To prepare the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs)/sustained-release rifampin-loaded microsphere complex, and to preliminarily study its effects in a rabbit model of spinal tuberculosis.METHODS: Rifampin-chitosan-calcium alginate sustained-release microspheres were synthesized, and co-cultured with ADMSCs to prepare an anti-tuberculosis composite for bone tissue engineering. Forty New Zealand rabbits were used to make lumbar L6 tuberculosis models. Thereafter, rat models were randomly divided into four groups and given rifampin by gavage in rifampin group, ADMSCs by paravertebral injection+rifampin by gavage in stem cell group, rifampin by gavage+implantation of the anti-tuberculosis composite material in experimental group, and no treatment in control group.The duration time of rifampin administration was 8 weeks. The anti-tuberculosis effect of the composite material was evaluated by X-ray and CT scanning observation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the control group, obvious damage to lumbar vertebrae L5 and L6 was apparent; inflammatory granulation tissues formed; and the intervertebral space was narrowed. In addition, two rabbits in the control group showed obvious kyphotic deformity and five showed pasoas major swelling with low-density dark region in the psoas muscle. In the rifampin group, there were five rabbits with moderate damage of the lumbar vertebrae L5 and L6,and two rabbits with pasoas major swelling. In the stem cell group, there were two rabbits with moderate damage of the lumbar vertebrae L5 and L6, three rabbits with mild damage of the upper part of the lumbar vertebra L6, and three rabbits with pasoas major swelling. In the experimental group, only four rabbits suffered from mild damage of the upper part of the lumbar vertebra L6 but with no changes in the intervertebral space between the L5 and L6, and without pasoas major swelling. These results indicate that the composite material of ADMSCs combined with sustained-release rifampin-loaded microspheres can inhibit mycobacterial growth effectively, and reduce vertebral bone destruction,thereby giving some therapeutic actions for the animal models with spinal tuberculosis.

AIM: To construct eukaryotic expression vector of small interfering RNA(siRNA) specific to bcl-2 and investigate the effect of recombinant plasmid on suppressing bladder cancer cell growth.METHODS: siRNA of bcl-2 gene was designed according to the principle of RNAi-based medicine, and was converted into cDNA coding expression of small hairpin RNAs(shRNA) of siRNA. The cDNA was synthesized and inserted into plasmid pGenesil-1. The recombinant eukaryotic expression vectors of pGenesil-1545 and pGenesil-1555 were controlled by the U6 promoter of RNA polymerase Ⅲ, identified by the restriction map and the sequence analysis, and transfected into T24 cells. After T24 cells were transfected for 72 h, expression of bcl-2 mRNA was assayed by RT-PCR; and MTT was used to observe the proliferation of T24 cells.RESULTS: The recombinant plasmids of pGenesil-1545 and pGenesil-1555 were identified by the restriction map and the sequence analysis. The sequences completely coincided with the designs. The expression of the bcl-2 mRNA in T24 cells transfected with recombinant plasmid decreased nearly 80%, and the growth of T24 cells was suppressed significantly.CONCLUSION: The siRNA eukaryotic expression vector against bcl-2 gene is successfully constructed. It effectively downregulates the expression of bcl-2 in T24 cells and suppresses the cell growth.

AIM: To investigate serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level in patients with bladder transitional cell carcinoma(BTCC) and its clinical significance. METHODS: ELISA method was used to examine the serum VEGF level in 42 cases of bladder transitional cell carcinoma and in 10 cases of normal people as control. The change of VEGF in blood of the pre-operation and post-operation patients with BTCC was also compared. RESULTS: The VEGF level in blood of the patients was higher than that of the normal people, in spite of pre-operation, post-chemotherapy, and post-operation, but VEGF level decreased obviously after chemotherapy or operation. In addition, the plasma VEGF level was related to the grade and invasion of tumor. CONCLUSION: Detecting serum VEGF level can help us to assess the change of tumor and therapeutic effect.
