IL-17,as a pro-inflammatory cytokine,is one of the early initiation factors of the inflammato-ry response induced by T cells.It can induce and regulate multiple immune responses.Recent studies have re-vealed that myeloid neutrophils,macrophage,mast cell and other innate immune cells all can secrete large a-mount of early responding IL-17 in organs suffering ischemia/hypoxia,and in turn can activate,amplify and re-cruit neutrophils to the reperfusion-damaged tissue to release large amount of free radicals and lysozyme that cause IRI.Researchers have also provided evidence that appropriate administration of anti-IL-17 mono-antibody to neutralize IL-17 during early reperfusion stage would reduce the tissue damage.The purpose of this review is to summarize the research progress of the effects of IL-17 produced by innate immunocyte on organ reperfusion injury.

Objective To develop a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of bisphenol A in drinking water by liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry. Methods Bisphenol A was extracted from the drinking water sample by a SEP-PAK C18 column,eluted with methanol and concentrated with a rotary evaporator. The extract was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization. Results The calibration curve of bisphenol A was linear in the range of 5 -100 ng/ml,the linear equation was y =6 796.61x -8 655.64 and the correlation coefficients of linear calibration curve was 0.999 2. The limit of detection (S/N=3) and the limit of quantification (S/N=10) of bisphenol A were 0.007 5 ng/ml and 0.025 ng/ml,respectively. The rates of recovery of bisphenol A were from 83.46% to 94.00% and the relative standard deviation was 3.06% -4.60%. Conclusion The method is simple,rapid,accurate and is applicable to the qualitative and quantitative determination of bisphenol A in drinking water.

Object To investigate the preparation technique and optimal formulation of Breviscapin Sustained release Pellets (BSP) and the release mechanism of breviscapin from the pellets. Methods BSP was prepared by extrusion spheronization method. Based on the studies of influential factors, optimal formulation modified to release drug over 12 h was obtained by the orthogonal design. And release mechanism of breviscapin from BSP was established by equation fitting. Results Prepared BSP has such advantages as simple technique, uniformity in diameters and high loading with even contents. They can release drug for 12 h. And the release of breviscapin could be mainly controlled by diffusion associated with slight erosion. Conclusion Extrusion spheronization method is simple for the preparation of BSP, and useful for the large scale prodution.

Objective To observe the effectiveness of early enteral nutrition (EEN) in managing ICU mechanically ventilated patients.Methods Totally 47 patients who had been ventilated for more than one week were randomly divided into EEN group and control group.The EEN group was supplied with enteral nutrition (EN) 12-24 hours after ICU admission,whereas the control group received EN 72 hours-5 days later.The function of intestinal mucosal barrier was evaluated by the reabsorb concentration of disaccharides lactulose/mannitol (L/M).In addition,the body mass index (BMI),body temperature,urine L/M ratio,serum albumin,pre-albumin,and ventilation days were recorded or calculated.Results On the seventh day,the L/M ratio was (0.036 ±0.004) in the EEN group,which was significantly lower than that (0.108 ±0.020) in the control group (t =2.746,P ＜0.01) ; the average body temperature was significantly lower in the EEN group than in the control group [(38.25 ± 1.20) ℃ vs (38.92 ± 1.40) ℃ ; t =2.683,P ＜ 0.05)] ; the incidences of adverse reactions such as constipation and diarrhea were significantly lower in the EEN group [16.7％ (4/23) vs 27.3％ (6/22),P＜0.05].The weaning rate within 2 weeks also favoured the EEN group [90％ (18/20) vs 80％ (16/20),P ＜ 0.05].Compared with the control group,the nutritional status of serum albumin and pre-albumin also showed a favourbale trends in the EEN group.Conclusions EEN can improve intestinal mucosal barrier and increase the weaning possibility in patients with mechanical ventilation.

Objective To analyze the genetic characterization(evolution, antigenicity, enzyme activity sites and glycosylation sites)of the neuraminidase(NA)gene of the novel influenza virus A/H1N1 in 2009 pandemic in Guangdong Province. Methods The viral RNA was extracted from 69 isolates of influenza virus A/H1N1 from patients in 2009 pandemic in Guangdong Province. NA gene fragments were amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and sequenced. The other 52 NA gene sequences of influenza virus A in different years and different regions were retrieved from GenBank. The analysis of evolution and amino acid sequences were analyzed by MEGA 4.0 software. Results The homology of 2009 novel H1N1 influenza viruses in Guangdong and avian H5N1 influenza virus strains was high(＞85 % ). The amino acid distributions of potential antigenic sites were identical. The enzyme activity sites of NA genes of all virus strains were strictly conserved, which had eight glycosylation sites. But there were amino acid substitutions in 5 glycosylation sites, while it was identical with the 2001 avian H5N1 influenza virus. Conclusion The NA genes of 2009 novel H1N1 influenza viruses in Guangdong are high homologous with avian H5N1 influenza virus and the viral specific binding sites of neuraminidase inhibitor are not changed.

AIM: A new HPLC-MS method was developed to determine finasteride in human plasma. METHODS: Two formulations of finasteride tablets were given to 20 healthy male volunteers according to a randomized 2-way cross-over design. The samples were extracted by ethyl acetate under basic conditions, then were separated by C18 column and determined by mass detector. RESULTS: The calibration curve of finasteride was linear and intra-day and inter-day RSD were less than 10 %. The pharmacokinetics parameters of the two formulations (4.5 ± 0.5) h for t1/2; (3.0 ± 0.7) and (2.8 ± 0.9) h for tmax, respectively. The results indicated that there was no significant difference on cmax, A UC0-24, t1/2 or tmax values between the two formulations. CONCLUTION: The relative bioavailability of tablets I with respect to tablets Ⅱ is (99.3 ± 9.2) % by the A UC0-24 measurement, and bioe quivalence is observed between the two tablets.

Objective To understand the evolutionary characterization of hemagglutinin (HA)gene of pandemic H1N1 influenza virus in Guangdong during 2009-2011. MethodsWe selected 83 pandemic H1N1 strains isolated in Guangdong during 2009-2011. The HA1 genes were sequenced and analyzed comparatively by Bioedit 7.0 and MEGA 4.0. ResultsThe evolutionary rate of Hal gene of pandemic H1N1 and seasonal H1N1 viruses was 5.2×10-3 substitutions/site/year, higher than that of seasonal H1N1 viruses. Most amino acid changes in HA1 molecules accumulated on the surface of the molecule and were partly located in antigenic sites. Two fatal infections were detected with a mutation at HA residue 222, in one virus with a change D222G, and in one virus D222N. ConclusionThe phylogenetic analysis demonstrates that the influenza epidemic in Guangdong at the beginning of 2011 are due to occurrence of genetic changes of pandemic H1N1 virus. The amino acid change at residue 222 of the HA1 are likely to be associated with severe or even fatal illness.
