Objective:To establish an HPLC method for the determination of EDTA-2Na in amphotericin B. Methods: A Waters C18 column(50 mm × 4. 6mm, 5 μm) was used. The mobile phase A was acetic acid solution (1. 5 ml acetic acid was added into 1000ml water, and 41 ml 10% tetrabutylammonium hydroxide solution was added), and the mobile B was acetonitrile with gradient e-lution. The flow rate was 0. 8 ml·min-1 , the column temperature was 30℃, the detection wavelength was 260 nm and the injection volume was 25μl. Results:The results showed that EDTA-2Na in amphotericin B could be detected without any interference. The cal-ibration curve of EDTA-2Na was linear within the range of 0. 92-7. 37μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9), the LOD was 1. 93 ng·ml-1 and the LOQ was 6. 45 ng·ml-1. The average recovery was 102. 5% (RSD=2. 8%, n=9). Conclusion: The method is simple, selective and accurate. It can be used for the quality control of EDTA-2Na in amphotericin B.

Transgenic animals are those in which recombinant DNA technology is used to remove a gene or a specific part of DNA with exogenous DNA, which is hereditable and can be expressed stably. Transgenic rodent technology, first demonstrated by Gordon in 1980,opened the door to the next step in biotechnology and gene regulation, which has been used to reproduce or mimic a part of a human disease in a complex cellular environment by creating in vivo models with germ line transmission of the introduced genetic regulatory elements. Animal models for drug discovery are developing increasingly, which is promoting the research and development new drugs greatly. The use and development of transgenic animals in pharmacological research is reviewed in this article.

To evaluate the protective effect of anti-digoxin antiserum on hypoxic injury myocardium and its mechanism.Methods It was observed that different concentration anti-digoxin antiserum effect on endogenous digitalis-like factor and cell membrane ATPase activity in hypoxic myocardium model.Results The level of endogenous digitalis-like factor was remarkably higher,cell membrane ATPase activity were remarkably lower in hypoxic group than those of normal group;anti-digoxin antiserum can resume membrane ATPase activity.Conclusion Rise of endogenous digitalis-like factor was basic of molecular biology of myocardial damage during myocardial hypoxia.Anti-digoxin antiserum has lightened myocardial injury and has protective effect on hypoxic myocardium by against effect of endogenous digitalis-like factor.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of laparoacopic cholecystectomy(LC) for acute cholecystitis. Methods LC was performed in 68 cases of acute cholecystifis for 2004 to 2007. The operation was completed under CO2 pneumoperitoneum by using 4-port technique. Results The LC was successfuUy accomplished in 64 cases, while a conversion to open surgery was required in 4 cases. A drainage tube at the foramen of Winslow was placed in 1 cases. Conclusion Strict adhesion to surgical indications of LC, standard performance of the proce-dure, timely conversion to open surgery, and proper placement of drainage tube are key factors to ensure a successful operation.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and feasibility of cardiovascular computed tomography angiography(CTA) in 128-slice DSCT with low tube voltage and low dosage contrast media in children with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Methods Forty patients with TOF were randomly divided into group A and group B by random number table method, patients in group A received a conventional scan with 80 kVp and contrast media of 1.2 ml/kg, patients in group B, 70 kVp and contrast media of 1.0 ml/kg were used. The injection time of the two groups were both fixed for 12 s. CT attenuation, image noise and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of ascending aorta, the main pulmonary artery, left ventricle and right ventricle were quantified. Radiation dose and volume of the contrast medium were recorded. Subjective image quality was assessed by two radiologists in consensus. The Student's t test was performed to analyse the differences between the two groups regarding CT attenuation, image noise, SNR, radiation dose and volume of the contrast medium. The image quality scores between the two groups were compared by using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results No significant difference was found in the attenuation, noise, SNR between the two groups in the same evaluated anatomic regions and no significant difference was found in the image quality. Effective dose (ED) was(0.17±0.05),(0.13±0.04)mSv respectively, there was significant reduction in group B than that in group A (t=2.48, P=0.019). The consumed iodine amount was(10.00±1.84),(8.29± 1.45) ml respectively, there was significant reduction between the two groups (t=2.89, P=0.007). Conclusions In children with TOF, the cardiovascular CTA with diagnostic quality can be adequately acquired with low tube voltage (70 kVp) and low concentration contrast media (1.0 ml/kg), there is significant reduction in radiation dose and contrast medium amount.

OBJECTIVETo observe preventive and therapeutic effects of Tanshinone IIA (T II A) on oxaliplatin induced peripheral neuropathy (OlPN) and to explore its effects on the expression of calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and never growth factor (NGF).

METHODSTotally 36 phase II - III patients with malignant tumor of digestive tract undergoing chemotherapy program with oxaliplatin, were equally assigned to the T II A group (using THA at 80 mg/day 1 day before oxaliplatin chemotherapy for 3 successive days) and the control group (using chemotherapy program with oxaliplatin alone) by segmented randomization. After 4 cycles of chemotherapy, the incidence degree and incidence of OlPN were evaluated. Sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) and motor nerve conduction velocity ( MNCV) were tested by EMG evoked potential device. Serum levels of CGRP and NGF were also detected in the two groups before and after chemotherapy. The correlation of serum levels of CGRP and NGF to OIPN was assessed using linear correlation analysis.

RESULTSAfter chemotherapy the OlPN incidence was 27.8% (5/18 cases) in the T II A group, obviously lower than that in the control group (55.6%, 10/18 cases; P < 0.05). Compared with before treatment in the same group, SNCV and MNCV of common peroneal nerve were slowed down, serum NGF levels decreased, and serum CGRP levels obviously increased in the two groups (all P < 0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, SNCV and MNCV of common peroneal nerve were obviously accelerated, serum NGF levels increased, and serum CGRP levels obviously decreased in the THA group (all P < 0.05). Results of linear correlation analysis indicated serum NGF level was negatively correlated with peripheral neuropathy (PN), serum CGRP expression was positively correlated with neurotoxicity (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONT II A could reduce the incidence of OlPN, which might be associated with inhibiting the expression of CGRP and up-regulating NGF activities.

Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease with unclear etiology. From the point of etiology, Chinese medicine (CM) theory holds that pathological products like dry toxin, blood stasis are produced in the pathological process. They are both pathologic results and pathogenic factors for its further development. So pathological products are also named as second pathogenic factors. In this article, the concept of second pathogenic factors was sorted and defined. Main second pathogenic factors of Sjögren's syndrome were pinpointed, and their modern medical bases were analyzed. Authors came to a conclusion that clearing away second pathogenic factors is a key point in treating Sjögren's syndrome.
