Objective To establish a rapid and precise continuous flow-injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of tetracycline and oxytetracycline. Methods In NaOH solution, tetracycline and oxytetracycline can sensitize obviously the chemiluminesence (CL) intensity of the reaction of luminol with KIO4, the sensitized CL intensity is proportional to the concentration of tetracycline and oxytetracycline. So, a new flow-injection CL method has been developed. The optimum chemical conditions for the CL reaction were investigated. Results Under the optimized conditions (KIO4 concentration: 1.0×10-5 mol/L; NaOH concentration: 0.1mol/L; luminol concentration: 1.0×10-4mol/L), tetracycline and oxytetracycline were determined. The linear range of the working curves was 1.0×10-7 -1.0×10-4g/mL, the detection limits was 1.0×10-8g/mL and 1.1×10-8g/mL, and the relative standard deviation was 2.6% (CS=1.0×10-6g/mL; n=11) and 2.0% (CS=1.0×10-6g/mL; n=11) respectively. Conclusion The method is simple, rapid, and sensitive, and it has been successfully applied to the the determination of tetracycline and oxytetracycline tablets, the mean recoveries being 99.7% and 98.8% respectively.

Lactic acid production of twelve strains of LAB isolated from broiler intestine and tolerance property of three strains were investigated. The results of lactic acid production showed that among all strains K6 exhibited the most rapid production during the first twelve hours, the seconds were K9 and C1; D17 exhibited the highest production of lactic acid by twenty-four hours, C1 exhibited the highest production of lactic acid by forty-eight hours. The pH values in three strains of K9、D17 and C1 culture showed the fast decline during the first twelve hours, with the final values significantly lower than those of other strains cultures. The results of tolerance property showed that the survival counts of C1could be detected when pH value was at 2 after three hours, but the survival counts of D17 and K9 could not be detected after one hour. When pH value was at 2.5 after three hours ,the survival counts of C1 declined from 10~ 8.2 /mL to 10~ 4.8 /mL, K9 from 10~ 8.2 /mL to 10~ 4.6 /mL, the survival counts of D17 could not be detected. 0.08% bile had few effects on the survival counts of three strains; when incubated in the medium with 0.40% bile, the survival counts of C1 declined from 10~ 8.4 /mL to 10~ 6.5 /mL,D17 from 10~ 10.3 /mL to 10~ 7.5 /mL, and K9 from 10~ 9.8 /mL to 10~ 7.7 /mL. When the group treated with 37℃ for 20 minutes was served as the control, the survival counts of C1 and K9 was not detected when treated with 80℃, but the survival counts of D17 were 10~ 4.9 /mL, when treatment with 65℃ the survival counts of C1 and K9 decreased significantly .

Objective To explore the rationality of pancreaticojejunostomy and double purse embedded pancreaticogastrostomy in pancreaticoduodenectomy through comparing the short-term effects between pancreaticojejunostomy and double purse embedded pancreaticogastrostomy in pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods A retrospective review was performed for 38 patients who were underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at the second affiliated hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2010 to December 2012.Results All 38 pancreaticoduodenectomy were performed successfully.The pancreatic fistula (0％),operationtime [(327.50±32.56) min],postoperative hospital days [(10.31 ±2.44) d] were found to be significantly lower in double purse embedded pancreaticogastrostomy group than those of pancreaticojejunostomy group [3/12,(425.83 ± 33.77) min,(14.33 ± 4.14) d],which has statistical significance(P＜0.05).Although the incidence of bile leakage,postoperative abdominal bleeding,delayed gastric emptying,infection of incision,infection of lung,intraoperative amount of bleeding are also lower than that of pancreaticojejunostomy group,which has no statistical significance.Conclusions Double purse embedded pancreaticogastrostomy is a digestive tract reconstruction which is safer and more reasonable than pancreaticojejunostomy.The former one is operated simply and the operation time is shorter.There are great advantages in the prevention of complications such as pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

New Chemical Entities (NCEs) development is a systematic long-term project that involves multiple disciplines. The translation research will help to build an advanced R&D system from the basic laboratory research, preclinical studies and clinical evaluation to clinical application of drug, for the purpose of shortening the R&D cycle and accelerate the launch of new drugs. In new drug R&D and its clinical application, drug disposition (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, ADME) properties are important criteria for assessing drug-likeness of candidates. ADME evaluation of NCEs plays an important role in the translation research throughout innovative drug R&D process. Therefore, ADME evaluation at the early stage of drug design and development will be helpful to improve the success rate and reduce costs, and further access to safe, effective drugs.

OBJECTIVETo demonstrate the inhibitory effect of kappa-opioid receptor activation by U50488H on hypertrophy induced by NE in cultured neonatal rat cardiac myocytes and compare its effect with that of prazosin and propranolol.

METHODSThe cellular proliferation was determined with crystal violet staining. The protein content was assayed with Lowry's method. The cardiomyocytes volumes were measured by computer photograph analysis system. The protein synthesis was assayed with [3H]-lencine incorporation method.

RESULTS(1) NE significantly induced the increase of protein content, [3H]-leucine incorporation and cell size without a concomitant increase in cell number in low serum medium. OThese responses were partially suppressed by prazosin or propranolol alone and completely abolished by both in combination. U50488H significantly inhibited the NE-induced increase of protein content, [3H]-leucine incorporation and cell size. The inhibitory effects of U50488H on NE-induced cardiac hypertrophy were greater than either prazosin or propranolol, but comparable to combination of both.

CONCLUSIONNE, acting via both alpha1- and beta-adrenergic pathway, stimulates myocyte hypertrophy. Stimulating kappa-opioid receptor significantly inhibits NE-induced cardiac hypertrophy, which may be related with alpha1- and beta1-adrenergic pathway.
