Sputum TB-DNA qualitative and serum anti-PPD-IgG detection and joint application of acid-fast staining in the diagnosis of tuber-culosis infection .Results Sensitivities of acid-fast staining ,TB-DNA and serum anti-PPD-IgG in the TB group were 32 .01% , 51 .44% and 48 .56% respectively .The detectable rate of combining TB-DNA with serum PPD-IgG was 67 .63% .The detectable rate of combining TB-DNA with acid-fast staining was 54 .68% .The detectable rate of combining serum anti-PPD-IgG with acid-fast combined rate was 57 .55% .The detectable rate of combining three assays improved to 68 .71% .Conclusion Serum anti-PPD-IgG detection in the diagnosis of tuberculosis is simple ,effective ,qualitative detection of acid-fast staining sensitivity better than TB-DNA ,but it had a poor specificity .Bacteriologic diagnosis are tuberculosis diagnostic gold standard,but the detectable rate for acid-fast bacilli is low .The qualitative of TB-DNA test had a better sensitivity and specificity than other two assay .Combining with three assays could increase detectable rate and improve diagnosis of tuberculosis disease .

The financial objective of the health non-operating state-owned assets(NSA) value-running is defined as non-profit, an empirical test is designed; the non-profit objective function and for-profit objective function is established and the impact of fix asset and staff cost on financial objective in multiple regression functions are compared.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of adult dermatomyositis with gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation. Methods The clinical data of a adult dermatomyositis with gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation were retrospectively analyzed. And the clinical characteristics of this patient were analyzed, combined with 7 cases reported in the literature. Results Among the 8 cases, 6 cases were females and 2 cases were males, aged 18 to 63 years. The 5 cases had melena, 3 cases had hematemesis, 3 cases had hematochezia and 1 case had hemoptysis. The main treatment was glucocorticoids, immunosuppressive agent, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG), endoscopic hemostasis and angiographic embolization. Four of the 8 cases died. Conclusions Adult dermatomyositis with gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation is rare, but the condition is dangerous and the mortality is high. Dermatomyositis with early onset of abdominal pain, vomiting, melena should be alert to serious complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation.

Many studies have confirmed that thyroid hormone (TH) and mitochondria have protective effects on myocardium. The partial subtype of sirtuins (SIRTs) can also be able to protect myocardium by mitochondria, which includes improving ischemia reperfusion injury, improving the pathological cardiac hypertrophy and improvement of heart failure. SIRTs can achieve the protective effect for myocardium mainly through inhibiting mitochondrial permeability transition pore and mitochondrial membrane permeabilization, maintaining balance of regulation of mitochondrial morphology, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, maintaining the function of autophagy of impaired mitochondria. At the same time, there is an interaction between TH and SIRTs. At present, the role of mitochondria has become more and more concerned in apoptosis and necrosis and its protective effect on cells. This review summarized the protective effect of SIRTs on myocardium through mitochondrial and the influence of the interaction between SIRTs and TH on myocardial protection of mitochondrial.

[Summary] Glucose homeostasis is precisely regulated by glucagon of pancreaticαcell and insulin ofβcell secretion.Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by insulin deficiency or insulin resistance (IR). Absolute or relative excess of glucagon secretion may play an important role in the development of diabetes.Previously more studies on the functions of islet βcells were reported,but less on islet αcells. There are a variety of factors involved in the regulation of glucagon secretion,such as nutrients,endocrine hormones and neurotransmitters. High fasting and postprandial blood glucose in patients with diabetes are associated with increased glucagon.Isletαcell dysfunction is closely related to the development of diabetes and the ability of responding to hypoglycemia.Further studies of α cell function and its role on the development of diabetes could provide insight into the treatment of diabetes.

An isocratic high-performance liquid-chromatographic method is-described for the simultaneously determining carbamazepine and its biologically active metabolite, carbamazepine-10, 11-epoxide. Serum samples containing an internal standard (10-methoxycarba-mazepine) are extracted with dichlor-methane and 4 mol ? L-1 sodium hydroxide. The organic extract are evaporated at ambient temperature under a stream of nitrogen. The residues are reconstituted in mobile phase and injected on to a re-versed-phase C18 Column (150?4. 6mm I. D). The mobile phase consists of ace-tontrile/methanol/water (50/210/260 by vol) . The UV detector is operated at 214nm. The elution times of all com-pounds are within 7 min.The least detectable concentrations of carbamazepine and carbamazepine-10, 11-epoxide are 0. 08mg ? L-1 and 0.1mg ? L-1, respectively. The average absolute recovery for carbamazepine is 96.0% and for carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide is 97.3%. Within-run CV is 3. 3%~5.7%. and between-run CV is 4.3%~9.0%. The standard curve is linear at least within 40mg ? L-1 for carbamazepine and within 20mg ? L-1 for carbamazepine-10, 11-epoxide.

The outcome of the elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has not improved in the last three decades. Their clinical features limit the ability to tolerate intensive cytotoxic chemotherapy and result in greater early mortality. The AML seen in elderly patients is also more likely to have greater resistance to therapy. Attempts to improve outcome have generally been unsuccessful But further manipulation of standard cytotoxic chemotherapy alone is unlikely to improve the outcome for the majority of patients with AML.

Objective To study the phosphorylation mode of extracellular regulated kinase( ERK)induced by acute and chronic morphine treatment on Chinese hamster ovary( CHO)cells expressed withμopioid receptors. Methods The time course of ERK phosphorylation 1 h and 36 h after morphine exposure as well as naloxone-precipitated withdrawal was detected by immunobloting. Results A transient enhancement of ERK phosphorylation was induced by 1 μmol · L-1 morphine with the peak effect at 5 min(P〈0. 01),and the effect was dose-dependent. No difference in ERK phosphorylation was found after 36h of treatment with 10 μmol · L-1 morphine compared with the control. However,5 or 10 min-naloxone precipitation induced remarkable decrease in ERK phosphorylation compared with the control(P〈0. 01). Conclusion Different changes of ERK phosphorylation were found under acute and chronic morphine treatment and naloxone precipitation,indicating a compensation of ERK related pathway induced byμ opioid receptors.

For the minimized phase transtorming risk, the most stable polymorph is generally considered as the desirable solid form for pharmaceutical applications. However, occasionally, the stable form may have some shortcomings such as low solubility, dissolution rate and bioavailability, etc. In that case, the metastable form which is kinetically stable at room or lower temperature could be selected. Using metastable form may result in polymorph transformation in pharmaceutical manufacture and storage. Hence, the knowledge of the transformation between solid forms is essential to the development of the drug materials. In this paper, we will review the recent studies in the area of crystal conversion of polymorphs and hydrates, to illustrate some cases to introduce the types, conditions and mechanisms of the crystalline solid transformation.
