OBJECTIVE:To establish the ultraviolet visible spectrophotometry(UV-VIS)for the determination of Fe content in iron dextran preparations.METHODS:Under the acidic condition,Fe~(3+)was dissociated from iron dextran solution by heating,then Fe~(3+)was deoxidized into Fe~(2+)by hydroxylamine hydrochloride,and red Fe~(2+)-orthophenanthroline complex was formed through combination with o-phenanthroline.The content of the Fe~(2+)-orthophenanthroline complex was determined by UV-VIS at a wavelength of 510 nm.RESULTS:The linear range of Fe~(2+)was 0.5～4.0?g?mL~(-1)(r=0.999 9). The average recoveries of two preparations(tablets and injection)of iron dextran were 99.8%(RSD=0.52%)and 99.7% (RSD=0.44%),respectively.CONCLUSION:The UV-VIS method is simple,accurate in results and applicable for the determination of iron dextran preparations.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of protective technique for intercostal nerve in the application of esophageal cancer surgery.Methods Seventy cases of esophageal and cardia cancer patients with thoracic operation were randomly divided into observation group and control group,and each group was 35 cases.Patients in the observation group were treated with improved protective technique of intercostal nerve during operation,and patients in the control group using the traditional methods of operation for treatment.All patients were treated with intramuscular injection of morphine analgesia drugs after operation.Results The pain score of every time point analgesia patients in the observation group (VAS score) was significant difference from that in the control group (t =3.041,2.854,1.827,2.156,1.965,2.706,P＜ 0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions of analgesia,the incidence of painless patients of postoperative 30 d and 60 d,morphine dosage,chest tube indwelling time and the average hospitalization time in observation group were 0,42.86％,68.57％,(10.6±5.2) mg (4.0±1.6) d,(17.6±4.5) d,and the control group were 17.14％,20.0％,34.29％,(22.8±7.6) mg,(4.8±1.8) d,(20.4±5.8) d (x2=4.56,4.24,8.24,t=7.838,1.965,2.257,P＜0.05).Conclusion The improvement protective technique for intercostal nerve in esophageal cancer surgery,not only can reduce thoracotomy acute postoperative pain,but also reduce the happening of the CPP.Meanwhile,the analgesic effect is good.It is proved with a simple operation,less adverse reaction,conducive to disease recovery after esophageal cancer surgery,indicating that it has clinical popularization value.

Objective To explore the main inhalational and alimentary allergens which triggers allergic asthma in children in Suzhou area.Methods The serum specific aspiration allergens were detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in 119 children with bronchial asthma,including 7 kinds of common inhalational allergens.The 6 kinds of alimentary allergens test was conducted in 65 children.Results The total inhalational allergens positive rate of the subject was 75.63%(90/119).The highest rate was dust mite 49.58%(59/119),then was house dust 21.02%(25/119),animal hair 19.33%(23/119).The positive rate of aspiration allergens increased with the patient′s age and showed a positive correlation.Positive rate of food allergens was 49.23%(32/65).Of them,the highest rate was fish 20.0%(13 cases),then was lobster and claw 16.92%(11 cases),egg 12.31%(8 cases).Conclusions Inhalational allergens are the main allergens in children with asthma in Suzhou district.The positive rate of aspiration allergens increases with the patient′s age.The most common allergen is dust mite.The allergen test plays a clinically significant and advisable role in treatment and prognosis in bronchial asthma in children.

OBJECTIVE:To provide references for the evolvement of Chinese drug safety credit system construction.METHODS:The status quo of Chinese drug safety credit system was analyzed by applying the credit management theory,and some corresponding developmental countermeasures were put forward by drawing experiences from abroad.RESULTS &CONCLUSION:The fundamental strategy for the construction of standardized economic order in pharmaceutical market is to establish and perfect drug safety credit system.The drug safety credit system should be constructed comprehensively from the credit laws,credit information databank,credit ratings,credit supervision,credit agency,credit awards and punishments,etc.

Purpose To establish myocardial infarction model in rabbits and to evaluate cardiac function and pathological changes.Materials and Methods In 35 New Zealand white rabbits, the left anterior descending branch (LAD) of the coronary artery was ligated. The cardiac function was evaluated using echocardiography, and the blood serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level was examined preoperatively, on postoperative day 1, and in 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks for comparison. Pathological sections and HE staining were performed to observe pathological changes. Results The death rate was 28.6% (10/35). There was progressive increase in left ventricular end systolic diameter (LVESD) and left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD) at 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks (P<0.05). There was progressive decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening fraction (LVFS) at 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks (P<0.05). The BNP level started increasing in 1 day, peaked in 1 week, then gradually decreased but remained higher than preoperative level in 8 weeks (P<0.01). Pathological section showed typical myocardial cell degeneration, necrosis, ifbrosis, calciifcation and scar formation. Conclusion This myocardial infarction model is satisfactory with signiifcant decrease of cardiac function and increase of BNP level.

Purpose: To explore the therapeutic method for lameness caused by lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods: 28 cases of the patients with lameness were treated by puncturing Dachangshu (BL 25), Weizhong (BL 40), Chengshan (BL 57) and Kunlun (BL 60) and simultaneously another 26 cases were treated with routine method for control study. Results:After the treatments for four weeks, the scores of the symptoms in the two groups were remarkably elevated. In the acupuncture treatment, the results showed remarkable effect in 4 cases, effect in 21 cases. In the routine treatment, the results showed remarkable effect in 4 cases and effect in 8 cases. Conclusion: acupuncture treatment is better than the routine conventional treatment for lameness caused by lumbar spinal stenosis.

Objective Normal estimation is the key step for volume visualization. Commonly used methods for normal estimation are based on interpolation and derivative. A novel normal estimation algorithm based on approximation for visualization of medical images was presented in this paper. Method It approximated the density function in local neighborhood with a second-degree polynomial function. The coefficients of the polynomial function were solved by minimizing the error of the approximation and the gradient vector at arbitrary point was obtained directly from the analytical derivative of the density function without interpolation. Because of symmetry, the solution of this equation was simplified.This method was tested in several volume data sets. The results and the generation time by different methods were obtained and compared. Result The results showed that this algorithm produced satisfactory quality images while the computational complexity was not increased. Conclusion This approach is preferable for most applications, especially for medical images reconstruction.

AIM:To investigate the possible mechanism of magnolol on the damage of PC12 cell induced by the addition of 6-OHDA placed in an incubator for 24 h with rat's pheochromocytoma cell of adrenal medulla in the absence and presence of magnolol. METHODS:Cell viability was measured by MTT method. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and aspartate-specific cysteine proteases-3 (Caspase-3) concentration(s) were assayed by fluorescence spectrophotometer. RESULTS:Cell activity declined sharply by the addition of 6-OHDA at concentration of 100 ?mol/L,the pre-treatment of magnolol(0.1~10 ?mol/L)could significantly increase the PC12 cell activity and prevent the increased ROS and caspase-3. CONCLUSION:Magnolol may protect the cell trauma induced by 6-OHDA,and the mechanism is related to inhibiting the 6-OHDA-induced elevation in intracellular ROS levels and reducing the caspase-3 activity.
