This study was aimed to simultaneously determinate the content of naringin, hesperidin and atractylodin in Y un-Pi (YP) Powder extract by HPLC. A Thermo ODS-2 column (250 mm í 4.6 mm, 5 μm) was used for the gra-dient elution with a methanol-water of 0~5 min (30%~40% A), 5~15 min (40%~50% A), 15~20 min (50%~79%A), 20~30 min (79%~100% A), 30~45 min (100% A), 45~55 min (100%~30% A), 55~60 min (30% A). The col-umn temperature was at 30℃. The detection wavelength was at 283 nm. The flow rate was 1 mL·min-1. The linear range was determined to be 0.009 16~0.137 00 μg (r = 0.999 9), 0.006 22~0.091 30 μg (r = 0.999 8), 0.003 58~0.053 70 μg (r = 0.999 9), respectively for naringin, hesperidin and atractylodin. The average recovery rate of pterodontic acid was 103.51%, 96.82% and 97.65%. And RSD was 1.37%, 1.41%, 1.49% (n = 6). It was concluded that the method had good specificity and repeatability. It was considered as a good tool for the content determination of naringin, hesperidin and atractylodin in YP Powder extract.

This study was aimed to screen out an optimal pharmaceutical formulation of Wuji Gastric Floating Sus-tained-release Tablets. With multicomponents of release for index, the extra-floating ability of the tablets was stud-ied with the orthogonal test of four excipients, which were HPMC (K100M), PEG 6000, sodium bicarbonate and se-tanol. The results showed that the combined optimal pharmaceutical formulation was 35% HPMC, 5% PEG 6000, 10% sodium bicarbonate, 15% setanol, 10% MCC and 25% main drug. It was concluded that Wuji Gastric Floating Sustained-release Tablets had the characteristics of slow-release and long floating duration which comply with re-quirements of formulation design. This preparation technique is with good maneuverability.

This article was aimed to study the multicomponent in vivo releasing rules of Zuojin Gastric Floating Sus-tained-release Tablet. Stomach contents of rabbits were collected at different times and then prepared into solutions for the study. The HPLC was used to establish fingerprints of each time and fingerprints of completely dissolved samples. The in vivo releasing rates were calculated. The evaluation was made on releasing behaviors among index components as well as between index components and preparations. The results showed that within 10 h, the f2 of berberine and limonin, rutaecarpine, preparation were 52, 61.5, 66.4, respectively. The f2 of limonin and rutae-carpine, preparation were 70, 46.5, 53.7, respectively. It was concluded that within 10 h, the releasing behavior of berberine and limonin, rutaecarpine, preparation was similar. The releasing behavior of rutaecarpine and limonin, preparation was similar. However, the releasing behavior of limonin and preparation was different.

The aim of the present study was to explore the differentially expressed genes in the blood vessel endothelial cells (BVECs) between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and reac- tive lymph node hyperplasia (RLNH), and to perform an initial bioinformatics analysis on a novel gene, C20orf14, which is highly expressed in lymph node of lymphoma. The mRNA of the tissue from the BVECs of DLBCL and RLNH tissues was labeled with biotin respectively and hybridized with expression profile microarray, and the differentially expressed genes were obtained. Initial bio- informatics analysis was performed on a novel gene named C20orf14. Its gene structure, genomic lo- calization, the physical and chemical characteristics of the putative protein, subcellular localization, functional domain etc. were predicted, and the systematic evolution analysis was performed on the similar proteins among several species. By using expression profile microarray, many differentially expressed genes were uncovered. The efficient bioinformatics analysis have fundamentally identified that C20orfl4 was a nuclear protein, and may be involved in the post-transcription modification of mRNA. Therefore, microarray is an efficient and high throughout strategy for the detection of differ- entially expressed genes, and C20orf14 is thought to be a potential target for tumor metastasis re- searches by bioinformatics analysis.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the main diseases jeopardizing the health of the iron miners and to explore the relationship between dust exposure and malignancies as well as other diseases.
METHODSA retrospective study with a cohort of 7,469 workers employed between January 1, 1972 and December 31, 1974 in Daye Iron Ore Mine Co. in Hubei Province was conducted. Standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was calculated for the main causes of death using Chinese national mortality rates for reference.
RESULTSAll subjects were followed up through December 31, 2003 with an accumulation of 199, 108.0 person years. A total of 1,752 workers died. The cumulative mortality was 23.5%. The cancers, cerebrovascular diseases, non-malignant respiratory diseases and cardiovascular diseases were main diseases that threatened workers' life span. The SMR for all subjects was a little higher than expected based on the Chinese national mortality rates. The diseases causing the significantly higher death rate were the nasopharynx cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, pneumoconiosis and accident with SMR 1.84, 1.51, 1.83, 14.94 and 1.25 respectively. Increased mortality was observed among dust-exposed workers in the cohort. The cumulative mortality from all causes such as stomach cancer, lung cancer, nonmalignant respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases and accident in dust exposed workers were significantly increased compared with those in non-exposure workers with RR 1.35, 1.83, 1.61, 2.27, 1.34 and 1.69 respectively.
CONCLUSIONThe risk factors especially dust exposure affect the health and lifespan of the iron mine workers.
