OBJECTIVE:To study the HPLC fingerprint profiles of crude and processed Semen Cassiae so as to provide basis for the establishment of chromatographic fingerprint of Semen Cassiae.METHODS: The samples of Semen Cassiae were hydrolyzed in the 1.5 mol?L-1 hydrochloride acid and then reflux extracted with chloroform.The HPLC analysis was run in gradient elution.The whole information of single-wavelength chromatographic fingerprint,two-dimension information data at full wavelength 220 nm～550 nm and the data of 18 fingerprint peaks compared with chrysophanol were treated by cluster analysis.RESULTS:It was observed that the contents of several chemical components were higher in the crude or processed Semen Cassiae than in chrysophanol.There were differences between the crude and the processed Semen Cassiae in HPLC fingerprint profiles though they were of good similarity.CONCLUSION: The HPLC fingerprints of liposoluble constituents were obtained with good resolution under the experimental chromatographic system.Three pure chromatographic peaks of chrysophanol,emodin and physcion have been identified.More reliable cluster result can be obtained from two-dimension information data at full wavelength 220 nm～550 nm than from the whole information of single-wavelength chromatographic fingerprint or from the information of chromatographic fingerprint of characteristic peaks.

Objective To explore optimum cycle of Automatic Washer Disinfector for endozime auto wash triple plus with advanced proteolytic action to ensure mechanical cleaning quality and improve safety of reusable medical instruments. Methods Visual inspection, STF cleaning efficacy monitoring test and Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) test were used to verify cleaning quality of the newly updated No.4 automatic washer disinfector, and changed key parameters on weekly basis, such as pre-cleaning temperature, pre-cleaning time, detergent concentration, main cleaning temperature, and main flushing time, recorded cleaning results for three weeks:Group test of initial procedure, Group test 1 of optimization procedure and Group test 2 of optimization procedure.Χ2 test was used to compare differences of the three groups and determine the optimum cycle. Results Group test 2 of optimization procedure had the highest visual inspection and ATP test qualification rate (both were 100.00%), and pass all the STF tests. Cleaning quality was significantly better than the other two groups, and the cycle made full use of the tested detergent. Conclusions Cycle parameters of cleaning machine have great impact on medical instruments cleaning quality; Specific consuming products need to be verified to determine the optimum cleaning cycle.

OBJECTIVETo establish a method for determination of 2,5-hexanedione in urine by headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography.

METHODSAfter extraction by solid-phase microextraction head, 2,5-hexanedione in urine was determined by gas chromatography and was quantified by external standard method.

RESULTSThe concentration of 2,5-hexanedione in urine showed a linear relationship within the range of 0.1-20.0 µg/ml. The regression equation was y=261.36x-1.903 3, r=0.999 2. The minimum detectable concentration was 0.01 µg/ml. The recovery rate was 92.6%-97.1%, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.3%-5.8%. The intra-day and inter-day RSDs were 3.8%-6.2% and 4.7%-6.3% respectively.

CONCLUSIONThis determination method has no requirement for organic solvents, features simple and rapid operation, possesses higher detection sensitivity, and applies well to the determination of 2,5-hexanedione in urine.

Objective To investigate the role of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) on the diagnosis of cryoglobulinemia related glomerulonephritis. Methods Sixteen cases which showed glomerular organized deposits by TEM in the renal biopsy specimens were collected in our hospital during last six years. Their clinical data, renal pathological features and ultrastructural morphology were analysed. Results Four cases had positive serum cryoglobulin were diagnosed as cryoglobulinemia related glomerulonephritis. Serum cryoglobulin was not available in the other 12 cases, who were suspected as cryoglobulinemia related glomerulonephritis. All patients had proteinuria with microscopic hematuria,and some cases had nephrotic syndrome, hypertension and mild to moderate renal insufficency. The main pathological pattern was membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.Endocapillary proliferation with an infiltration of monocytes was observed in these cases. Glomerular subendothelial deposits and intraluminal thrombi was their prominent features. Organized electron-dense deposits were identified by TEM, whose deposits organized into microtubular, fibrillary, crystalline-like and granular structures, and were demonstrated mainly in glomerular subendothelia and capillary lumen. Most of cases were considered as cryoglobulinemia related glomerulonephritis by the ultrastructural findings of glomerular organized deposits. Conclusion Glomerular organized deposits identified by TEM provide important diagnostic implications for cryoglobulinemia related glomerulonephritis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of follow-ups on medical compliance behaviors and quality of life of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Methods One hundred GERD patients who were hospitalized in our department from June 2012 to June 2013 were divided into intervention group (n=50) and control group (n=50) according to the random number table. Both groups received the same drug treatment and conventional nursing during hospitalization.The control group received periodically outpatient follow-ups,while the intervention group received professional follow-ups by trained nurses after discharge from hospital. The compliance behaviors and quality of life in these patients were assessed and statistically analyzed after 6 months nursing intervention or outpatient follow-up.Results With the implement of follow-up in patients with GERD,the intervention group was better than the control group in compliance behaviors,including the decrement of smoking and drinking,strong tea,coffee,having midnight snack and spicy food (P<0.05),but there was no difference in the behavior of staying-up between the two groups.Concerning the quality of life,the intervention group was significantly better than the control group in the 6 items excluding the physical and physiological functions (P<0.05).Conclusion Professional follow-ups can improve compliance behavior and quality of life of GERD patients.
