Objective Develop a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methodfor detecting isoniazid in vitreous humor and spinal fluid.Method Vanillin, as a derivative reagent, was added to the vitreous humor and spinal fluid samples. Isoniazid and vanillin reacted to form isonicotinoyl hydrazone which was separated and detected. The pretreatment method of sample, the linear range, the precision, the recovery of isoniazid were all established by using rabbit's vitreous humor and spinal fluid spiked with standard isoniazid. The HPLC method has then been applied to investigate the concentration of isoniazid in intoxicated rabbits'vitreous numor and spinal fluid respectively.Results As established in the method, the linear range was 0.2?g/ml～12.0?g/ml (for vitreous humor ?=0.9990, for spinal fluid ?=0.9988). The detective limit was 0.2?g/ml. The intra and inter-day precision of assay for isoniazid were less than 4.9%( n =5) in vitreous numor and spinal fluid. The average recoveries of isoniazid were more than 97.1%. The concentration of isoniazid was 74.60?7.40?g/ml in vitreous humor, 88.95?10.12?g /ml in spinal fluid.Conclusion The HPLC method is suitable for analyzing isoniazid in the vitreous numor and spinal fluid.

Abstract?AlM:To evaluate the accuracy and practicability of three - dimensionally preformed Arbeitsgemeinschaft Osteosynthese AO titanium mesh plates for orbital fractures.?METHODS:Forty-seven patients with isolated blow-out orbital fractures were included in this study. Fracture locations were as follows: floor/medial wall ( n = 26, 55%), medial wall ( n = 12, 26%), and floor ( n = 9, 19%) . The floor fractures were exposed by a standard transconjunctival approach, whereas a combined transcaruncular transconjunctival approach was used in patients with medial wall fractures with temporary dissection of inferior oblique muscle. A three -dimensionally preformed AO titanium mesh plate was selected according to the size of the defect previously measured on the preoperative computed tomographic scan examination and fixed at the inferior orbital rim with 2 screws. The accuracy of plate positioning of the reconstructed orbit was assessed on the postoperative computed tomography ( CT) scan. The practicability of clinical use of AO three - dimensionally preformed titanium mesh plates was assessed on the preoperative and postoperative clinical data.?RESULTS: Postoperative orbital CT scan showed an anatomic three- dimensional placement of the orbital mesh plates in all of the patients. All patients had a successful treatment outcome without clinical complications. 40 patients ( 87%) had a successful enophthalmos correction. 25 patients ( 86%) had a successful recovery from diplopia.?CONCLUSlON: Three- dimensionally preformed AO titanium mesh plates for orbital fracture reconstruction results in an accurate anatomic restoration of the bony orbital contour with a high rate of success to correctenophthalmos and diplopia.

Testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) is a most common testicular malignancy with an increasing incidence, and its pathogenesis and mechanisms are not yet clear. The next generation sequencing has become the main tool to uncover the underlying mechanisms of TGCT. The differential gene expressions, gene mutation, predisposing gene-dominated signaling pathways, and changes of the relevant genes in the sex chromosome are largely involved in the occurrence and development of TGCT. Studies on the genomics of TGCT contribute a lot to identifying the pivotal pathogenic genes and paving a theoretical ground for the early screening and targeted therapy of TGCT. This paper summarizes the advances in the studies of the genomics of TGCT so as to reveal thetmechanisms of the disease at the genetic level.
