Herald of Medicine 2014;(5):575-578
Objective To establish a method for determination of new abused drugs in plasma by using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry ( UPLC-MS/MS ) combined with in-tube solid-phase microextraction. Methods 2 mL of borax buffer was added to 1 mL of plasma with drugs. Then,the mixture was withdrawn into a syringe connected to a stainless steel needle welded with DB-1701 capillary column. 50 μL acetonitrile was used as elution solvent at the flow rate of 300 μL·min-1 for 2 min. Subsequently,the drugs on elute were determined by using UPLC-MS/MS in positive mode with multiple reaction monitoring( MRM) to determine drug concentration in human plasma samples. ResultsThe recoveries rates of the five abused drugs ( codeine hydrochloride, tramadol, diphenoxylate hydrochloride, diazepam, and triazolam) in plasma were between 69. 2% -81. 7% with the RSDs less than 10%. LODs of the drugs were less than 25 ng·mL-1 . Seven out of the 26 plasma samples were determined positive. Conclusion The in-tube SPME method coupled to UPLC-MS/MS is simple, rapid, and environmental friendly, which is suitable for the the rapid screening of the new abused drugs.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of different psychological interventions on depression and pain in patients with arthritis using the method of network Meta-analysis.Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on psychological interventions for arthritis patients were systematically searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Web of Science, PsycINFO, WanFang and CNKI databases. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of databases to September 30, 2021. The literature was screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and quality was assessed using the Cochrane Manual recommended RCT bias risk assessment tool. STATA 15.0 software was used for network Meta-analysis according to frequency framework.Results:A total of 59 RCTS were included, involving 8 psychological interventions and 5 726 patients. For the primary outcome of depression, at post-intervention, the ranking results showed that relaxation was the most likely to be the best intervention. However, in the comparison of different intervention effects, only cognitive behavioral therapy showed statistically significant difference compared with the control group ( P<0.05) . At follow-up, the ranking results showed that cognitive behavioral therapy was the most likely to be the best, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the control group ( P < 0.05) . After intervention, for the secondary index pain, the ranking results showed that hypnosis intervention was the most likely to be the best, but the intervention effect of relaxation intervention and cognitive behavioral therapy was statistically significant compared with the control group ( P< 0.05) . At follow-up, the ranking results showed that the best possibility of receiving commitment therapy was the highest, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the control group ( P < 0.05) . Conclusions:Cognitive behavioral therapy has the best effect on depression indicators in arthritis patients, and relaxation intervention and acceptance commitment therapy have the best effects on pain indicators after intervention and at follow-up, respectively. The potential interventions include relaxation intervention and hypnosis intervention, which are worthy of further study.

Objective:To establish a new strategy for rapid correction of the interference of chyle blood on hemoglobin (HGB) and related indexes by reticulocyte (RET) channel research parameters (HGB-O, MCHC-O) from automatic hematological analyzer.Methods:With the diagnostic experimental design, a total of 90 impatient samples were sequential picked from Fuwai Hospital, which had routine blood testing from June 1 to July 31, 2021. The selected samples were free of hemolysis, jaundice, chylo. The age of the patients was (49.2±5.7) years, with 47 males and 43 females. Three different contents(25, 50, 75 μl) of fat emulsion injection were used to replace plasma in equal amounts to prepare chyle blood samples with mild, medium and heavy degrees of average red blood cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). The research parameters (HGB-O, MCHC-O) obtained by the RET channel detection of the automatic blood analyzer were used as the corrected HGB and its related index values (RET method), and the original values (the detection values before adding fat emulsion) and the formula correction values were paired with t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test, single factor analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test, Bland-Altman and correlation analysis to evaluate the correction effect of RET method.Results:There was no significant difference ( H=0.035, P=0.983; H=0.097, P=0.953; H=0.112, P=0.945) between the RET correction values of HGB (g/L) [104.0(83.8, 132.8), 109.0(87.78, 128.25), 104.0(87.8, 131.8)] and the original values [104.0(83.0, 133.0), 107.5(86.75, 129.25), 103.5(85.8, 131.3)] and the formula correction values [104.0(84.0, 133.8), 106.0(86.75, 131.25), 102.5(86.8, 131.3)] in the samples of chythemia with varying degrees of MCHC (g/L) elevation; meanwhile, the RET correction values [366.5(325.8, 341.5), 333.5(323.8, 340.0), 333.5(327.0, 341.25)] and the original values [336.0(324.8, 342.0), 333.0(323.5, 342.3), 332.0(326.75, 340.5)] and the formula correction values [333.5(323.5, 343.3), 331.0(321.0, 338.3), 329.5(325.25, 337.25)] were also not statistically significant ( H=0.049, P=0.976; H=3.149, P=0.207; H=0.883, P=0.643). The detection values of HGB and related indexes corrected by RET method were in good agreement with the original values [96.7% (29/30) of the points were within the 95% consistency limit], and the two were positively correlated (the correlation coefficients were all higher than 0.919, P<0.01). Conclusion:The RET method based on the research parameters of RET channel of automatic hematological analyzer can serve as a new strategy to correct the interference of chyle blood on the detection of HGB and related indexes.
