· AIM: To evaluate the safety of eye anterior tissue when plasmin (Pm) and hyaluronidase (HS) are injected into pigs'vitreouses to induce posterior vitreous detachment(PVD).· METHODS: 15 pigs without ocular diseases were randomly assigned to groups A,B,C (5 in each group). For each pig, one eye was experimental, the other eye was control. The experimental eye received intravitreal injection with enzyme:group A: 50U(0.1mL) HS; group B: 0.5U(0.1mL) Pm; group C: 0.5U(0.05mL) Pm combined with 50U(0.05mL) HS; while the control eye received intravitreal injection with equivalent dose of balanced salt solution (BSS). Postoperative reactions in the eyes were carefully observed by clinical examinations such as slit-lamp microscopy and direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy and measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP). Eyeballs were extirpated 7 days after the operation and histological examination was carried out. The corneas and irises were observed under light microscope (LM). The epithelia of ciliary bodies and lens were studied with transmission electron microscope (TEM).· RESULTS: In all experimental eyes and control eyes of group A, B and C, histological examination showed: under LM ,the corneas and irises of experimental eyes had no histological abnormality in structure; Under TEM, epithelial cells of ciliary bodies and the lens were tightly arrayed with clear cellular boundaries, clear intracellular structure, intact cell membranes, and intact nuclei; There was no significant difference in the clinical examinations and in the change of IOP between preoperation and postoperation, between the experimental group and the control group.· CONCLUSION: With 0.5U Pm and HS 50U injected into pigs' vitreouses to induce PVD, alone or combined with two enzymes, evaluation revealed no evidence of toxicity on the eye anterior tissue. The dosage was proved to be safe for eye anterior tissue.
2.Advances in the studies of concealed penis.
National Journal of Andrology 2015;21(9):852-854
Concealed penis is usually found in children, which affects the patients both physiologically and psychologically. Some of the patients are wrongly treated by circumcision, which may bring about serious consequences to the sexual life of the patients in their adulthood. In the recent years, this disease has been receiving more and more attention from both doctors and parents. However, controversies remain as to its classification, pathogenesis, pathology, and treatment. This paper focuses on the understanding and advances in the studies of concealed penis.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical effects of the massage method of micro-regulating with vertical cross pressing lying on one side in treating cervicogenic headache (CEH).
METHODSTotal 136 patients with CEH were collected in the study from August 2012 to April 2014. They were divided randomly into two groups according to random digits table. Sixty-nine patients accepted the treatment of micro-regulating with vertical cross pressing lying on one side (pressing micro-regulating group), including 29 males and 40 females with an average age of (50.55 ± 11.38) years old; 67 patients received the treatment of traditional massage (traditional massage group), including 28 males and 39 females with an average age of (51.20 ± 11.90) years old. Clinical effect was observed according to the standard of curative effect of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine; the function of cervical vertebra and all body status were evaluated according to NDI score. VAS score, frequency and time of headache were recorded and compared before and after treatment.
RESULTSNo adverse reactions were found after treatment, all patients were followed up from 1 to 6 months with an average of 3.1 months. In pressing micro-regulating group, 25 cases got fully recover, 26 excellence, 14 effectiveness and 4 inefficiency; and in traditional massage group, the results were 12,21,22, 12;clinical effect of pressing micro-regulating group was better than that of traditional massage group (P<0.01). NDI score in pressing micro-regulating group decreased from preoperative 13.48 ± 4.83 to postoperative 6.23 ± 3.76; in traditional massage group also decreased from preoperative 13.82 ± 5.78 to postoperative 8.25 ± 4.75; the improvement of the pressing micro-regulating group was obviously better than that of traditional massage group (P < 0.01). VAS score in pressing micro-regulating group decreased from preoperative 4.75 ± 0.97 to postoperative 1.88 ± 1.78; and in traditional massage group decreased from pre-operative 4.78 ± 0.98 to postoperative 2.84 ± 1.94; pressing micro-regulating group was more notable than that of traditional massage group (P < 0.01). The frequency per week,the pain time in pressing micro-regulating group decreased from preoperative (5.38 ± 1.96) times and (6.87 ± 3.67) hours to postoperative (1.71 ± 2.04) times and (0.97 ± 1.74) hours,respectively,in traditional massage group the above parameters decreased from preoperative (5.22 ± 1.81) times and (6.90 ± 3.79) hours to postoperative (2.81 ± 2.42) times and (1.83 ± 2.21) hours;pressing micr-regulating group was more notable than that of traditional massage group (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONUsing the tuina method of micro-regulating with vertical cross pressing lying on one side to treat CEH can improve function of cervical vertebra and all body status, lessen the intensity, frequency, duration time of pain, and had advantage of higher security, simple operation, and evident effect.

9. N-Ethylation facilitates simultaneous quantification of amino neurotransmitters using UHPLC-MS/MS
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2018;38(11):1300-1305
Objective • To investigate the effect of content changes of neurotransmitters on multiple physiological and pathophysiological processes in mammals, and explore simultaneous sensitive quantification of these metabolites. Methods • An efficient and sensitive method for simultaneous quantification of 20 amino neurotransmitters was achieved through pre-column N-ethylation of neurotransmitters with acetaldehyde and NaBH3CN followed with quantitative analysis using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). And NaBH3CN and NaBD3CN were used as a pair of stable isotope labeling reagents together with natural isotopic standards to achieve accurate quantification. Results • The analysis showed all 20 neurotransmitters had excellent linearity with R2 over 0.991 0 and sensitivity with the limits of detection (LOD) in the range of 0.5-10 fmol except for histidine with an LOD of 36.5 fmol. The result also showed good robustness with the interday and intraday RSD (relative standard deviation) below 15%. The method was further applied to human urine, serum and saliva samples for validation, in which 14, 10 and 8 neurotransmitters were detected, respectively. Conclusion • The method is of high sensitivity and precision. Compared to previous ones, this method is of great applicability in different matrices, with mild reaction and straightforward procedures. Besides, the reaction reagents are easy to be removed by simple quenching thus avoiding interference in the subsequent analysis.

Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2015;46(22):3333-3337
Objective: To prepare salidroside (SAD) phospholipid complex in Rhodiola crenulota and search for its optimum preparation and characterization. Methods: Taking the ratio of salidroside and phospholipid as index, the factors that might affect the combination percentage of SAD with PLC (SAD-PLC) were investigated, separately. At the same time, UV, FT-IR, and XRD microscope anaIysis techniques were used to analyze the structure of SAD phospholipid complex. Results: In the optimum preparation process of SAD-PLC, tetrahydrofuran was used as reaction solvent, the weight ratio of SAD to phospholipid was 1:4, and the total concentration of SAD and PLC in the reaction solvent was 10 mg/mL, the reaction temperature was 20℃. Conclusion: The reaction ratio, concentration of SAD, and reaction time have geater impact on the formation of phospholipid complex, and the reaction temperature also has some impact. Chemical changes do not occur in the formation process, but the phospholipid complex is different with the simple physical mixtures.
