OBJECTIVE:To establish the HPLC method for the content determination of cetirizine hydrochloride gel.METHODS:The assaying was conducted on a SinoChrom ODS-BP column with 0.02 mol?L-1 sodium dihydrogen phosphate-acetonitrile(60∶40)as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL?min-1.The column temperature was 25 ℃;the detection wavelength was 231 nm and the sample size was 10 ?L.RESULTS:The linear concentration range of cetirizine hydrochloride gel was 0.100 4～4.016 0 ?g(r=0.999 9)with average recovery rate at 97.85%(RSD=1.57%).CONCLUSI-ON:The method is simple,accurate and reproducible,and it can be used for the quality control of cetirizine hydrochloride gel.

Diphtheria is an ancient disease.Since the implementation of enhanced program of immunization by WHO in 1978,the global incidence of diphtheria decreased sharply.There were no diphtheria cases reported in recent years in China,but there were still diphtheria cases and outbreak reported in surrounding countries.It is necessary to strengthen the laboratory diagnosis of diphtheria in China to prevent the recurrence and for early detection of emergent and imported diphtheria cases.Here in this review,the laboratory diagnosis of diphtheria and its progress were summarized.

Objective To preparemicroRNA-34 a loaded liposome and evaluate the targeting efficiency for lung cancer stem cells and effect on the treatment of lung cancer. Method The liposomes were prepared by thin film hydration method. The particle size,Zeta potential and entrapment efficiency were evaluated. Stability of liposome in serum was evaluated. The efficiency of cellular uptake on lung cancer stem cells in vitro was evaluated. The anti-proliferation efficiency of miLPs-34 a was evaluated by MTT assay. Tumor spheroids were used to evaluate anti-tumor ability of miLPs-34 a. Lung cancer stem cells were used to build orthotopictumor model, which were used to evaluate the effect of anti-cancer. Results The particle diameter of the miLPs-34 a was (136.55±11.4) nm with the Zeta potential of (21.45±4.55) mV. The entrapment efficiency of microRNA-34 awas 94.6%.the results demonstrated that the liposomes could keep stable in 50%serum for 24 h. miLPs-34 a uptaken by lung cancer stem cells were 3.1 times higher than that of microRNA-34 a(P<0.01). The MTT assay confirmed strong inhibitory effect of miLPs-34 a than microRNA-34 a(P<0.01). the inhibition of tumor spheroid confirmed strong inhibitory effect of miLPs-34 a than microRNA-34 a(P<0.01). The anti-tumor of miLPs-34 a was much more effectively than microRNA-34 a(P<0.01).Conclusion the microRNA-34 a loaded liposome could target to lung cancer stem cells and inhibit the proliferation of lung cancer stem cell. MiLPs-34 a, as a new nanometer drug, has a special application value for the therapy of lung cancer stem cell.

AIM: To study the chemical constituents of Elaeagnus pungens. METHODS: Chemical constituents were separated through chromatographic methods and their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis. RESULTS: Five compounds were isolated from the petroleum ether extract of leaves of Elaeagnus pungens Thunb.Their structures were elucidated as hentriantane(1),lupeol(2),?-sitosterol(3),oleanolic acid(4) and 3,5-dihydroxy4,7-dimethoxy flavone(5). CONCLUSION: Compounds hentriantane(1) and 3,5-dihydroxy-4,7-dimethoxyflavone(5) were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Medical ethics is a set of behavioural principles which regularized medical workers' relationships to patients and society and that between themselves under social ethics and the development of medical science.It is an essential constituent of the social ethical system and plays an important role in medical activity.By studying the current situation of the ethics-oriented education on medical students,the author re-analyzed the current state of medical ethics and proposed some creative and feasible methods on improving the quality of medical ethics of the students.

OBJECTIVE:To improve the rational compatible use of Chinese patent medicines with western medicines. METHODS:A total of 24 000 prescriptions were randomly sampled from July 10th to July 15th in 2006 for an analysis of the compatibility of Chinese patent medicines containing Salvia miltiorrhiza,Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae,Radix et Rhizoma Rhei with western medicines.RESULTS:Of the total 24 000 prescriptions analyzed,6 830(or 3 213 patients) involved combined use of Chinese patent medicines with western medicines,of which,the irrational combination for Salvia miltiorrhiza-contained,Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae-contained and Radix et Rhizoma Rhei-contained Chinese medicines with western medicines totalled 128,118 and 16 cases respectively.CONCLUSION:When the Chinese patent medicines being used in combination with western medicines,their physicochemical and pharmacological properties should be taken into fully consideration so as to achieve rational combination.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reaction protein,which is very sensitive to the inflammatory reaction.Many studies have confirmed that CRP is closely correlated with ischemic stroke and atherosclerosis.However,studies on correlation between CRP and intracerebral hemorrhage are less.This article reviews the relationship between CRP and intracerebral hemorrhage.
