A sensitive high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) method was established for the determination of eplerenone (EP) in human plasma. The plasma samples of EP were extracted with ethyl acetate and separated by HPLC on a reversed phase C18 column with a mobile phase of 10 mmol x L(-1) ammonium acetate water solution-methanol (30 : 70, v/v). EP was determined with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 2-4 000 ng x mL(-1) for EP. The lower limit of quantification was 2 ng x mL(-1). The method has been successfully applied in the pharmacokinetic study of the EP tablets. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of EP after oral administration of 25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg were as follows, t1/2: (4.9 +/- 2.1), (4.7 +/- 1.5), (5.9 +/- 1.2) h; AUC(0-infinity): (4 402 +/- 1 735), (8 150 +/- 2 509), (13 783 +/- 4 102) microg x h x L(-1); and MRT: (6.2 +/- 2.1), (6.6 +/- 1.3), and (7.2 +/- 1.6) h. Parameters of EP after oral administration of multiple doses of 50 mg were as follows, t1/2: (6.1 +/- 1.7) h; AUC(ss): (10 071 +/- 4220) microg x h x L(-1); MRT: (8.1 +/- 2.3) h; and DF: (3.2 +/- 1.0).

OBJECTIVETo summarize experience of perioperative anesthetic management for patients undergone excision of pheochromocytoma and complicated with catecholamine cardiomyopathy.
METHODSPerioperative anesthetic management for surgical treatment of three cases of pheochromocytoma complicated with catecholamine cardiomyopathy was described and discussed according to literature reports.
RESULTSThe catecholamine cardiomyopathy of the three cases presented with left ventricular hypertrophy, congestive cardiac failure and acute myocardial infarction. After removal of the pheochromocytoma under general anesthesia, a prolonged hypotension occurred in all of the three cases. In order to maintain stable hemodynamics, large dose of catecholamine was required after surgery. All of the three patients were survived and discharged.
CONCLUSIONSIt is suggested that myocardial dysfunction may be another important factor for the prolonged hypotension after removal of the tumor. Meticulous preoperative assessment of heart function is of primary importance for the management of anaesthesia during surgical procedures.

OBJECTIVETo observe the combined effect of etoposide (Vp-16) and recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) on mobilization of autologous peripheral blood stem cells (APBSC) in malignant tumor patients and find out the suitable dose of Vp-16.
METHODSThirty patients were randomly divided into two groups, 15 in each group. In group A, Vp-16 1000 mg/m(2) was injected intravenously in six divided doses, for 2 hours every 12 hours on day 1, 2 and 3. In group B, Vp-16 1500 mg/m(2) was injected intravenously in six divided doses for 3 hours every 12 hours on day 1, 2 and 3. rhG-CSF was given as a single daily injection subcutaneously at the dose of 300 microg.body(-1).day(-1) from the day of the nadir of white blood cell (WBC) to the day before the end of APBCS harvest. APBSC harvest started when WBC > or = 5.0 x 10(9)/L and finished when accumulated mononuclear cells (MNC) > or = 5 x 10(8)/kg or CD34+ cells > or = 2 x 10(6)/kg.
RESULTSThere was no significant difference between the time of nadir, nadir of WBC, absolute neutrophil count (ANC), the beginning time and continuous time of rhG-CSF given, the beginning time and continuous time of APBSC harvest. When the blood volume, flow rate and continuous time of apheresis were similar in each apheresis in the two groups, the number of APBSC in each harvest and total number of APBSC were also not significantly different between the two groups. The side effects induced by Vp-16 were also not significant different between the two groups.
CONCLUSIONVp-16 combined with rhG-CSF is a safe and highly effective method for APBSC mobilization, 1000 mg/m(2) and 1500 mg/m(2) of Vp-16 possess similar efficiency and side effects for APBSC mobilization.

This study was aimed to detect the ratio of CD34+ cells in bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) and the expression rate of G(M)-CSFR on CD34+ cells in bone marrow of the patients with aplastic anemia (AA) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The ratio of CD34+ cells in BMMNCs and the expression rate of G(M)-CSFR on cells of 27 AA patients, 45 MDS patients and 20 controls were detected by flow cytometry (FCM). The results showed that the ratio of CD34+ cells in BMMNCs of AA patients reduced and was significantly different from controls (p<0.05), the ratio of CD34+ cells in MDS patients elevated and was significantly different from controls (p<0.05). Compared with controls and MDS-RA patients, the ratio of CD34+ cells in MDS-RAEB patients significantly elevated (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference between MDS-RA patients and controls (p>0.05). The ratio of CD34+ cells in MDS-RA patients was significantly higher than that in AA patients (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in expression rate of G-CSFR on CD34+ cells between AA patients and controls, MDS patients and controls, AA patients and MDS patients, MDS-RA patients and MDS-RAEB patients (p>0.05). The expression rate of GM-CSFR in MDS patients was significantly higher than that in AA patients and controls (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference between AA patients and controls, MDS-RA patients and MDS-RAEB patients (p>0.05). In AA patients, the ratio of CD34+ cells in BMMNCs was less than 0.1% accounts for 6/8 SAA patients, compared with 2/19 in CAA (p<0.05). There was no correlation between the expression rate of either G-CSFR or GM-CSFR and neutrophil count at diagnosis (r=0.058 and r=0.044). In MDS patients, there was no correlation between bone marrow CD34+ cells ratio and peripheral neutrophil count at diagnosis (r=-0.335). And there was no correlation between the expression of either G-CSFR or GM-CSFR and neutrophil count on diagnosis (r=0.064 and r=0.051). It is concluded the detection of CD34+ cells and their surface expression rate of G(M)-CSFR in AA and MDS is useful in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of these two diseases.

OBJECTIVETo observe the polyamines metabolism changes in rat cardiomyocytes underwent ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.
METHODSA branch of the descending left coronary artery was occluded to induce rat myocardial I/R injury (30 min ischemia followed by 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h reperfusion). RT-PCR and Western blot were performed to detect the expression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT) and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the concentrations of polyamines were measured with high performance liquid chromatography in hearts with or without I/R.
RESULTSThe myocardial transcription and expression of SSAT and ODC were significantly upregulated. Compared with the sham group, ODC mRNA and SSAT mRNA respectively increased 3.1 fold and 3.8 fold and their proteins respectively increased 3.1 fold and 2.9 fold at 24 h of reperfusion (P < 0.01); the concentrations of spermidine, spermine and the total polyamine pool respectively decreased by 33.6%, 35.3% and 32.9% while putrescine concentration increased by 58.9% at 24 h of reperfusion (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONOur results suggest that ischemia-reperfusion in the heart may affect polyamine metabolism and the disturbance of polyamine metabolism might thus play a critical role in myocardial I/R injury in this model.

OBJECTIVETo analyze tracheal intubation and respiratory treatment in the critical severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) patients.
METHODSReview and analyze tracheal intubation and respiratory treatment in critical SARS patients in intensive care unit (ICU).
RESULTSThree of thirteen patients had been intubated or received tracheotomy before they entered into ICU, the other patients received treatment of nasal cannula or oxygen mask. With the development of the disease, two patients had been intubated because of respiratory failure or tracheotomy. Tracheal intubation was twice made in two patients in order to replace tracheal tubes.
CONCLUSIONSThe patient should be intubated or received tracheotomy if non-invasive respiratory support has no effect. Standard protection could protect medical staff from infection under tracheal intubation.
