OBJECTIVE: To studies on the stability of glucosamine-?-aminoacids-nickel(Ⅱ) ternary complexes(GANTC). METHODS: The formation constant of GANTC were determined at (25?0.1) ℃,I=0.1 mol?L-1 KNO3 by pH method. RESULTS: The formation constant of GANTC were Gly 13.73(7.33),Pro 13.97(7.12),Ser 13.15(7.07),Val 13.46(6.84),iLe 13.55(6.88),Phe 13.13(6.93) and Met 13.17(7.18). CONCLUSIONS: The two biologically active ligand,?-aminoacid and glucosamine accommodate each other when coordinated to nickel(Ⅱ) ion. The formation constant of the ternary complexes linearly increase with the increase of protonation constant of aminoacid. Linear free energy relationship does exist in the presence of ternary system.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss the method of reducing error in estimating postmortem interval (PMI). METHODS: Two hundred and fifty-six solved murder cases from 2003 January to 2013 January in Changzhou and Nanjing City were collected, The PMI of all cases was estimated by traditional method and then compared with the real PMI obtained after the cases were solved. The cases were grouped according to the PMI, the accuracy was calculated, and the reasons of suboptimal PMI were analyzed. RESULTS: The accuracies of early PMI (less than 12h and 13-24 h) were 90% and 89%, respectively; while the accuracies of late PMI (1-7 d, 1-2 weeks, 3-4 weeks, 1-6 months, 7-12 months and 1-5 years) decreased over time, being 79%, 76%, 83%, 79%, 60% and 50%, respectively. The common reasons of estimating error included improper inference methods, water submerged body, extreme temperature, lack of objective evidence, intentionally abandoned body, and changed or destroyed scene, etc. CONCLUSION The multiple index data can reduce the error in estimating PMI.

Objective To summarize the experiences in diagnosing and removing foreign bodies in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Methods Eight hundred and two cases were examined endoscopically for their ingested foreign bodies from 1978 to 2003. Endoscopy and various instruments for grasping the foreign bodies were used. Results Altogether there were 1 198 pieces of foreign bodies, 424 of which were impacted in the esophagus, 662 in the stomach, and 112 in the duodenum. One thousand one hundred and ninity-eight pieces of foreigen bodies were successfully removed from 780 patients without any complications. But removal of 31 pieces in 22 patients failed because the foreign bodies were impacted in the gastrointestinal tract. The success rate was 97.3%. Among all the foreign bodies taken out, the largest one was 20cm in length and 4.2cm in width. Conclusion Endoscopy could be used safely and effectively in patients with ingested foreign bodies.

Objective To evaluate the osteoinductive activity of recombinant adenoviral vector carrying the human BMP-2 gene(AdBMP-2) and investigate the mechanism of bone formation induced by the bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP-2).Methods AdBMP-2 infected rabbit bone messenchymal stem cells(BMSC) were cultivated in vitro.The expression of hBMP-2 was determined by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analysis,and ALP was determined by enzyme cytochemistry 7 d after infection.At 21th day,Alizarin red S staining was used to evaluate calcium-rich deposits by cells transfected in culture.30 ?L AdBMP-2 solution(2?10~(12)pfu?mL~(-1)) was injected into the muscle of the left hind limb of the nude rat,and 30 ?L Ad? gal solution(2?10~(12)pfu?mL~(-1)) was injected into the muscle of the right hind limb as control.Animals were sacrificed at 20th day following injection to investigate the bone formation histologically and the expression of BMP-2 in the specimens of the injection sites by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization method.Results The expressions of BMP-2 and ALP in the transduced BMSC were confirmed at 7 th day after infection.A deeply stained mineralized layer was evident at 21th day in transduced cells.In vivo experiment,BMP-2 gene therapy induced mesenchymal monocytes chemotaxis,proliferation, differentiation into chondrocytes,with subsequent endochondral bone formation.At the same time,hBMP-2 expression was observed in the chondrocytes,osteoblasts and mesenchymal monocytes.(Conclusion AdBMP-2) posseses the osteoinductive activity in vitro and in vivo.

The electrochemical behaviors of parathion(PT) on nano-Al2O3 film modified electrode(nano-Al2O3/GCE/CME) were investigated. It was found that the redox peak currents of PT remarkably increased and the oxidation peak potential negatively shifted at the nano-Al2O3/GCE/CME. All the experimental parameters were optimized and a simple and sensitive electroanalytical method was developed for the determination of PT. The oxidation peak current was linear with the concentration of PT over the range from 2.5×10-9 to 1.0×10-7 mol/L and 1.0×10-7 to 1.0×10-5 mol/L. A low detection limit of 1.0×10-9 mol/L was obtained for 30 s accumulation at open circuit(S/N=3). The relative standard deviation(n=10) was 3.8% for 1×10-5 mol/L PT. The proposed method was used for the quantitative analysis of PT in some vegetables and the results were satisfactory.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the opioid switch from morphine to sufentanil on the expression of μ-opioid receptors in the midbrain periaqueductal gray (PAG) of rats.Methods Forty healthy male Wistar rats,aged 8 weeks,weighing 250-290 g,were randomly assigned into 5 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),7 day sufentanil group (group S),7 day morphine group (group M),14 day morphine group (group MM),and 14 day alternate administration of morphine and sufentanil group (group MS).Normal saline 2 ml/kg,sufentanil 0.01 mg/kg and morphine 10 mg/kg were injected subcutaneously in the cervical region twice a day for 7 consecutive days in C,S and M groups,respectively.In group MM,morphine 10 mg/kg was injected subcutaneously in the cervical region twice a day for 14 consecutive days.In group MS,morphine 10 mg/kg was injected subcutaneously in the cervical region twice a day for 7 consecutive days (1st-7th days),and sufentanil 0.01 mg/kg was then injected subcutaneously in the cervical region twice a day for 7 consecutive days (8th-14th days).The tail flick latency (TFL) to a thermal nociceptive stimulus was measured at 15 and 30 min after the initial administration every day.After the last administration,the rats were sacrificed,and the midbrain PAG was isolated for determination of the expression of the μ-opioid receptor and μ-opioid receptor mRNA using Western blot and real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction,respectively.Results Compared with group C,the TFL was significantly prolonged on 1st-6th days after the beginning of administration in M,MM and MS groups,the TFL was significantly prolonged on 1st-7th days after the beginning of administration in group S,and the expression of the μ-opioid receptor and μ-opioid receptor mRNA in the midbrain PAG was significantly down-regulated in M,MM and MS groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group MM,the TFL was significantly prolonged on 8th-14th days after the beginning of administration,and the expression of the μ-opioid receptor and μ-opioid receptor mRNA in the midbrain PAG was significantly up-regulated in group MS (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which the opioid switch from morphine to sufentanil reduces morphine tolerance is related to enhanced activity of μ-opioid receptors in the midbrain PAG of rats.
