A method was developed for the determination of eight steroid hormones ( estrone, α/β-estradiol, estriol, testosterone, epitestosterone, progesterone and testosterone propionate ) in butter samples by gel permeation chromatography ( GPC) purification-followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The samples were first extracted by ethylacetate/cyclohexane (1:1, V/V) and the extract was later degreased by GPC column. Then, the GPC concentrate was separated using a C18 column ( 100 mm í2. 0 mm i. d. , 3. 0 μm) with gradient elution of acetonitrile/water. Finally, the steroid hormone components were qualitatively and quantitatively determined by mass spectrometer with electrospray ionization in multi reaction monitoring mode. Using matrix matched external standard method, good linearity in response could be obtained in the concentration range of 1 . 0-20 . 0 μg/kg with correlation co-efficiency larger than 0 . 999 . The detection limits of the method were 0. 04-0. 30 μg/kg and the quantification limit was 1. 0 μg/kg. At the spike levels of 1. 0, 2. 0 and 4. 0μg/kg, the recoveries of hormones were within the range of 64. 1%-110%, and the relative standard deviation ( RSD) was less than 11%. The results show that the method is accurate and reliable, and meets the requirements for determination of 8 steroid hormones in butter samples.

ObjectiveTo observe the early and mid-term clinical effect of occupational therapy on patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) during perioperative period. MethodsFrom July to August, 2018, 100 patients who underwent the first TKA in the First Affiliated Hospital of USTC were divided into control group (n = 50) and observation group (n = 50) according to the treatment plan. Both groups received routine preoperative rehabilitation education, surgical treatment and postoperative physical therapy, in addition, the observation group received perioperative occupational therapy. They were assessed with modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) before operation; one, two and three days after operation; on the day of discharge; one month, three months and six months after operation. ResultsOne day, two days, one month, three months and six months after operation, the scores of MBI were higher in the observation group than in the control group (t > 2.113, P < 0.05). One month, three months after operation, the scores of IADL were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (t > 5.125, P < 0.001). The postoperative hospitalization time was significantly shorter (t = -5.356, P < 0.001), and the total treatment cost was lower (t = -2.455, P < 0.05) in the observation group than in the control group. ConclusionOccupational therapy could effectively improve the early and mid-term activities of daily living of TKA patients and help them return to normal life earlier.

Antipyretic-analgesics are currently one of the most prescribed drugs in children.The clinical application of antipyretic-analgesics for children in our country still have irrational phenomenon, which affects the therapeutic effect and even poses hidden dangers to the safety of children.In this paper, suggestions were put forward from the indications, dosage form/route, dosage suitability, pathophysiological characteristics of children with individual differences and drug interactions in the symptomatic treatment of febrile children, so as to provide reference for the general pharmacists when conducting prescription review.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effects of pedicled omentum covering and wrapping the ureteral anastomosis to prevent ureteral anastomotic leakage after surgery of abdominal and pelvic tumors.

METHODSClinical data of 64 patients with ureteral anastomosis after surgery of abdominal and pelvic tumors treated in our department from May 2005 to May 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. They were assigned into 2 groups. There were 23 patients of ureteral anastomosis combined with pedicled omentum surrounding and wrapping the anastomotic site (optimization group), and 41 cases of ureteral anastomosis alone (control group). The clinical data of all the 64 patients were reviewed and the therapeutic effects of the two treatment approaches were compared.

RESULTSAt one week after the operation, there were 8 cases (34.8%, 8/23) with ureteral anastomotic fistula in the optimization group and 31 cases (75.6%, 31/41) in the control group (P = 0.010). In the postoperative days 1-3, the average drainage everyday from abdominal tube around the anastomotic site was 260.4 ml and 320.8 ml, respectively (P = 0.446). The average drainage volume everyday was 80.5 ml and 160.5 ml from the postoperative day 4 to day 7 (P = 0.015). The average time of removal of the peritoneal cavity drainage tube was 18.5 d in the optimization group and 32.6 d postoperatively in the control group (P = 0.015).

CONCLUSIONSCovering and wrapping the ureteral anastomosis with pedicled omentum can promote the rapid adhesion of surrounding tissues to reduce urine leakage and postoperative complications, and shorten the surgical treatment cycle.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility of recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein （EC）， and to provide evidence for selecting skin detection methods for tuberculosis infection diagnosis and auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis. METHODS The effectiveness and safety of EC compared with purified protein derivative of tuberculin （TB-PPD） were analyzed by the method of systematic review. Cost minimization analysis， cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis were used to evaluate the short-term economy of EC compared with TB-PPD， and cost-utility analysis was used to evaluate the long-term economy. The evaluation dimensions of innovation， suitability and accessibility were determined by systematic review and improved Delphi expert consultation， and the comprehensive score of EC and TB-PPD in each dimension were calculated by the weight of each indicator. RESULTS The scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation and suitability of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. The affordability scores of the two drugs were consistent， while the availability score of EC was lower than those of TB-PPD. After considering dimensions and index weight， the scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability， accessibility and the comprehensive score of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. CONCLUSIONS Compared with TB-PPD， EC performs better in all dimensions of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility. However， it is worth noting that EC should further improve its availability in the dimension of accessibility.
