Objective To improve the related substances analysis method of cobamamide.And to further research light degradation characteristics of cobamamide.Methods Determined the related substances of solid and aqueous solution of cobamamide after light degradation by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) conditions,which is Merck Hibar C18 column (4.6 mm ×250 mm, 5μm), 0.05 mol/L KH2PO4 solution:acetonitrile (90:10) -80% acetonitrile as mobile by gradient elution and detection wavelength 260 nm.And compared their light stability.The main three kinds of light degradation impurities were determinate from LC-MS.Results Gradient elution made the light degradation impurities separate better.The results of precision and reproducibility tests increased to RSD =0.2% (n=6) and RSD =8% (n=5) from RSD =3.8% (n =6) and RSD=38%(n=5). Cobamamide solution was very sensitive to light, the preparation should be strict dark operation.Two of the light degradation impurities were adenosine and hydroxycobalamin, with the relative response factor 2.5 and 0.7.Conclusion New method is specific, durable and reproducible, which can be used for quality control of cobamamide.

Objective To analyze peroxide value and anisidine value of ethyl polyenoate soft capsules and imported drugs and evaluate the oxidative stability.Methods The analysis was carried out on a TSK gel ODS-100 V(250 mm ×4.6 mm,5μm)with methanol-water(98:2,V/V)as the mobile phase to determine the structure of the vitamin E as antioxidant.The influence on the antioxidation effect of tocopherol acetate andα-tocopherol as excipient in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ethyl ester drugs was evaluated.Results The structure of vitamin E as antioxidant in domestic drugs was acetate, while vitamin E as excipient in foreign drugs had the structure of α-tocopherol monomer.As antioxidant, the antioxidation effect of tocopherol acetate was better thanα-tocopherol.The structure of vitamin E had a direct impact on the antioxidation effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid ethyl ester drugs.Conclusion The studies provide the basis for evaluate rationality of antioxidant in ethyl polyenoate soft capsules scientifically, which has positive significance for controlling the quality of the drug effectively.

Objective To study the distribution and properly of the transparent globules within Hensen cells (HC) of guinea -pig Corti organ .Methods The cochlear epithelial cells were isolated from 10 guinea pigs .The cells of cochlea were marked by Bodipy493/503 ,sudan III ,oil red O ,and osmium tetroxide .Results The transpar‐ent globules within the HCs of the guinea -pigs were green staining by Bodipy493/503 ,jacinth staining by Sudan III ,ruby red by oil red O .And they were black globules stripe as post -fixed in 1% osmium tetroxide .Conclusion The results indicate that the transparent globules within guinea -pigs HCs'lipid droplets by four methods .

OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effect of drug treatment for patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) accompanied with feeling of ear fullness (FEF).

METHODSA prospective clinical multicenter research was carried out from August 2007 to October 2011. SSNHL patients aged between 18 to 65 years old and accepted no medication were recruited, with a duration less than two weeks. The patients were divided into four types according to the hearing curve: type A was acute SSNHL in low tone frequencies, type B was acute SSNHL in high tone frequencies, type C was acute SSNHL in all frequencies, and type D was total deafness. Each type was subdivided into two groups by the accompaniment of SEF or not. And each type had four different treatment programs, based on the unified designed randomized table. All patients were followed up for four weeks from the initial examination.

RESULTSA total of 1 024 cases with single side SSNHL were recruited in the study from 33 hospitals in China, including 565 cases accompanied with FEF (55.18%), and 459 cases without FEF (44.82%). By classification of audiogram, 205 cases were type A (20.20%), of whom 122 were accompanied with FEF (59.51%); 141 cases belonged to type B (13.77%), of whom 74 were accompanied with FEF (52.48%); 402 cases were type C (39.25%), of whom 229 were accompanied with FEF (56.97%); and 276 cases were classified as type D (26.95%), of whom 140 were accompanied with FEF (50.72%). No significant difference was observed in total effective rate between the SSNHL patients accompanied with FEF or not in four acoustic types (P > 0.05). Among four acoustic types, the clinical cure rate of patients accompanied with FEF in type A was 93.44%, ranking the first; followed by 84.28% for type C; 75.71% for type D; and 70.27% for type B, respectively.

CONCLUSIONSThe therapeutic effect for patients accompanied with FEF in type A is satisfactory. The presence of FEF do not impact the therapeutic effect for SSNHL patients.
