OBJECTIVE:To prepare Baicalin proliposomes (PBA) containing sodium deoxycholate (SD) with optimized for-mulation,and to study pharmacokinetics of it in rats in vivo. METHODS:PBA were prepared by spray drying method. Response surface method based on Box-behnken design was adopted to optimize the formulation of PBA with the amount of HSPC,cholester-ol and SD as factors using entrapment efficiency of PBA as index. The particle size,morphology,leakage rate and stability of the optimal PBA were evaluated along with the pharmacokinetics of it(compared to raw materials)in rats after ig administration of 15 mg/kg. RESULTS:The optimal formulation of PBA was that the amounts of baicalin,HSPC,cholesterol and SD were 100,214, 68 and 53 mg,respectively;the predicted and practical values of entrapment efficiency were 86.42% and 84.32%,respectively, and particle size of the optimal PBA was 358.4 nm. The leakage rate of reconstituted liposomes was low and the stability of PBA was good. Compared with baicalin raw material,t1/2,tmax,MRT,cmax and AUC0-t of PBA were all increased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01 or P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS:PBA were prepared successfully using the spray drying method. This method is simple and easy,and the optimized formulation is feasible and can improve the oral bioavailability of baicalin.

Objective: To observe the effect of Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises) on the muscle strength in senile sarcopenia. Methods: Sixty-five old people with sarcopenia were randomized into Yi Jin Jing group and a blank control group. Thirty-three patients in Yi Jin Jing group practiced Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises), while 32 patients in the blank control group didn't receive any interventions. The muscle strength was measured before and after 12-week training. Results: During the study, each group had 1 dropout. The muscle strength was improved after 12-week training in Yi Jin Jing group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the blank control group (P>0.05). After the intervention, there was a significant difference between Yi Jin Jing group and the blank control group in comparing the muscle strength (P<0.05). Conclusion: Constant Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises) training can notably improve skeletal muscle strength in senile sarcopenia.

Objective: To study the infectious state of 3 kinds of viruses (CVB, CMV and EBV) in respiratory tract infection and its significance. Methods: Among 290 patients studied, there were 158 boys and 132 girls, aged from 6 months to 12 years. The antigen of coxsackievirus B (CVB-Ag) and antibody of coxsackievirus B (CVB-IgM), antibody of cytomegalovirus (CMV-IgM) and antibody of EB virus (EBV- IgM) were detected by ELISA method. Results: (1) The positive incidence of upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, pneumonia was higher than that of noninfectious disease group (P<0.01). The positive incidence of CVB was higher than that of CMV and EBV(P＜0.01). (2)There were cross viruses positive, especially in pneumonia group (P<0.05), usually CVB cross other virus infection. (3) The course of pneumonia was long in single CVB (P<0.01) and longer in cross infection of viruses (P<0.01). Conclusion: CVB infection is the most common one in the 3 viruses. Attention should be paid to multiple viruses infections in pneumonia children.

Objective: To understand the relationship between coxsackievirus B and pediatric diseases. Methods: The infectious state of coxsackievirus B in hospitalized children were studied. Among 796 children studied, there were 218 upper respiratory tract infection cases, 179 pneumonia, 106 asthma, 155 myocarditis, 19 allergic purpura and 89 other diseases. The antigen (CVB-Ag) and IgM (CVB-IgM) were detected using ELISA method. Results: (1)There were 47% positive of CVB in upper respiratory tract infection and 48% positive of CVB in pneumonia(no difference between them, P>0.05). (2) There were 62% positive of CVB in asthma, 61% positive of CVB in myocarditis and 68% positive of CVB in allergic purpura(no difference among them, P>0.05)； But the positive rate of CVB in asthma, myocarditis and purpura were higher than in upper respiratory tract infection and pneumonia, (P<0.05). (3) There were lower positive rate of CVB in other kinds of diseases (16%) and in healthy children (3%)(no difference between them, P>0.05). Conclusion: CVB infection was related to several kinds of diseases, the relationship between CVB infection and diseases such as asthma, myocarditis, and allergic purpura should be further studied.

OBJECTIVETo analyze serum metabonome of patients with breast carcinoma by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

METHODSSerum samples from 30 patients with breast carcinoma and 25 normal people were collected. Endogenous metabolites amino acids, fatty acids, saccharides and organic acids were analyzed after derivatization.

RESULTThe injection precision and intra-day precision (RSD) were less than 14.4 %. The method displayed good recovery (80.7 %-118.0 % with RSD<12.0 %) and linearity (r(2)>0.9905). Samples were stable in 24 h at room temperature. The samples were stable through three freeze-thaw cycles (RSD<14.6 %). Alaine,oxalate and glutamine were found with frequency of 96.7 %, 100 % and 93.3 %, respectively, which indicated that they may be the potential biomarkers.

CONCLUSIONThe method is stable and reliable, which may be helpful for the diagnosis of breast cancer as an auxiliary method.

Objective To investigate the safe region for screw fixation in atlas lateral mass by ra- diologic measurements to conduct the operative procedure.Methods The dimensions of the pedicles were determined in 30 patients with normal atlas by CT scan and three dimensional reconstruction images of the upper cervical spine.The space available for the screw(SAS)was defined as the perpendicular distance between two lines tangential to the spinal canal and the transverse foramen,respectively.SAS was evaluated at 0?(SAS1)and 10?(SAS2)insertion angles.The location of screws in 13 cases of opera- tion were observed by CT scan images measurements of the cervical spine.Results SASI at 0?inser- tion angle was(7.81?1.28)mm and SAS2 at 10?insertion angle was(9.69?1.23)mm,with statisti- cal difference(P＜0.01).For SAS1,the distance from the midline of pedicle to the midline of posterior arch and the distance from the center of C2 inferior articular process to the midline of posterior arch showed insignificant statistical difference.However,the entry point at the posterior arch of the midline of SAS2 was located at 2.0 mm lateral to the midline of ASAI.Twenty-six pedicle screws in 13 cases were inserted correctly,without cortex breakage,or nerve and vessel injury.Conclusions There is a safe region for screw fixation in atlas lateral mass.Wider space available for the screw can be acquired when transverse angle is 10?.It is necessary to confirm the safe region by using axial CT of atlas before screw fixation.

Objective To study effects of early non-invasive ventilation (NIV) application in treating elderly patients with acute left ventricular failure induced respiratory failure. Method Totally 32 elderly patients with acute left ventrieular failure induced respiratory failure, admitted from August 1997 to February 2007, received NIV treatment, and were retrospectively studied. There were 22 male and 10 female, aged (81.5?8.6) yearsdd. The changes of rahs, respiration rate, heart rate, arterial blood gas, cardiac function before and after NIV application were compared. According to the application time of NIV, 32 patients were divided into two groups: group A (early NIV application group, n=17) and group B (non-early NIV application group, n= 15). The time to improve the symptoms, the application time of NIV, cure rates, tracheal intubation rates and mortality were compared between the two groups. Results Thirty of the 32 patients survived, cardiac function was improved from New York classⅣtoⅠ～Ⅱ, respiratory rate, heart rate and blood pressure significantly decreased, PaO_2 and SaO_2 significantly increased and PaCO_2 significantly decreased. The tracheal intubation was performed in 4 patients. The time needed to improve the symptoms and the application time of NIV were significantly different between group A and group B (P

Objective To study the changes of subgroups of peripheral blood T lymphocytes in the patients infected with the 2009 pandemic influenza A ( H1N1 ) virus of different severity type. Method A total of 66 patients infected by H1N1 evidenced by RT-PCR admitted from September 2009 to January 2010 were divided into three groups: mild type ( B group, n = 47 ), cured patients of severe and critical severe type ( C group, n = 14) and died patients ( D group, n =5), according to the severity and prognosis. A total of 20 healthy volunteers served as control group( A group). Peripheral blood lymphocyte count, CD3+,CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte count were detected by flow cytometry at the different time points. Fever duration and H1N1 virus negative time were compared. Statistical analysis were performed by using SAS version 9.13 software and the data were processed with ANOVA and SNK test. Results Lymphocyte count, CD3+,CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocyte count declined in the early period in all the groups, and there were significant differences compared with A group (P＜0. 05), while rised with the clinical progression in group B and C,and those of C group were lower than B group ( P ＜ 0.05 ), but those of D group were always low. Fever duration and H1N1 virus negative time were (4.4 ± 1.6) days vs. (4.4 ± 1. 4) days, ( 12.9 ± 3. 1 ) days vs.( 10.2 ± 2.6) days and ( 15.2 ± 7.3 ) days vs. ( 13.3 ± 2.9 ) days respectively, and there were significant differences among the three groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusions The cellular immune function was seriously damaged when patients were infected with H1N1. Further more, the changes of lymphocyte count, CD3+ , CD4+and CD8+ T lymphocyte count were tightly related with the degree of severity and prognosis. These findings can be used for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
