OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of hydrophilic polymers on the stability of self-microemulsifying drug deliv-ery systems (SMEDDS). METHODS:Taking felodipine (FDP) as model drug,the content of FDP was determined by HPLC method. The effects of pure water,0.5% Kollidon VA64,HPMC E5,HPMC K100LV,HPMC K4M,PVP K30 solution,while 0.1%,0.5% and 1.0% HPMC E5 and Kollidon VA64 on residual content of dissolved FDP were determined in SMEDDS. RE-SULTS:The residual contents of dissolved FDP in SMEDDS placed in Kollidon VA64,HPMC E5,HPMC K100LV,PVP K30, HPMC K4M and pure water for 1 h were 92.7%,63.6%,50.2%,46.2%,36.0%and 24.0%,respectively. The order of maintain-ing the supersaturation state was Kollidon VA64>HPMC E5>HPMC K100LV>PVP K30>HPMC K4M>pure water. The residu-al contents of dissolved FDP in SMEDDS placed in 0.1%,0.5%,1% Kollidon VA64 and HPMC E5 and pure water for 1 h were 93.2%,95.1%,96.0% and 48.4%,62.1%,75.1%. CONCLUSIONS:Kollidon VA64 and HPMC E5 can significantly inhibit drug release in SMEDDS and be used as stabilizer of SMEDDS,wherein Kollidon VA64 was better.

As one of the species of soil-transmitted helminths (STH), hookworm infection is widely prevalent in tropical and subtropical developing countries. Hookworm is harmful to human health mainly including anemia, digestive tract symptoms, female infection can also cause menopause, abortion, infection in infants and young children can lead growth retardation. With the development of economy and implementation of mass drug administration strategies, the infection of hookworm in human body has decreased continuously, but there are still a large number of mild infection cases which clinical symptoms are not obvious, easy to cause missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Several zoonotic hookworm species can cause large-scale infections in cats, dogs and other animals, so as to increase the risk of human hookworm infection. Therefore, it is important to find a highly sensitive and rapid detection techniques to identify hookworm species. In this paper, the existing detection techniques of hookworm were reviewed and their application were prospected to provide ideas for hookworm detection at present situation.

There are some common analysis challenges in the hormone detection in agriculture science, including matrix interference, complicated sample preparation, poor reproducibility, trace analyte content. An automated on-line SPE and innovative fast polarity switch analysis method employing dual-gradient liquid chromatography ( DGLC ) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry ( DGLC-MS/MS ) was established and validated for the simultaneous determination of gibberellic acid ( GA3 ) , indole acetic acid ( IAA ) , zeatin ( ZT) and abscisic acid ( ABA) in the soybean plant ( leaf, grain and pod) . The method was applied in the actual sample detection successfully. In order to acquire higher sensitivity, recovery, stability and precision, some conditions including SPE column, analytical column, mobile phase, additive etc were optimized according to the selection and retain of hormone. Beans were cryogenically grinded by liquid nitrogen, extracted by 80% methanol, certrifugatel and dilluted with water, and then injected directly. Samples were transported and gradient eluted on the analytical column Acclaim PA2 by 0 . 1% formic acid in water and methanol, after retaining and separation on the SPE column Hypersep Retain AX. All analytes were detected in selection reaction monitoring ( SRM) mode in both positive and negative channels. The quantification was based on linear regression. The linear ranges of GA3, IAA and ZT were 0. 1-50 μg/L with the LOQ of 0. 0002 μg/g, and the linear of ABA was 0. 5-50 μg/L with the LOQ of 0. 0010μg/g. The recoveries of four kinds of plants hormones were 76 . 1%-93 . 5%, and RSDs were 0 . 82%-6 . 02% at low ( 0 . 8 μg/L ) , medium (4. 0μg/L) and high (40μg/L). The results noted that the content of ABA in seeds was apparently higher than others. This method could be used for the rapid and accurate detection of hormone in different parts of soya beans.

Objective To detect mutations of the ADAR1 gene in three Chinese families with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH).Methods DNA was extracted from the blood samples of seven patients with DSH and their 33 relatives in three families with DSH as well as from 50 unrelated healthy controls.PCR and direct sequencing were performed to detect mutations in the ADAR1 gene.Results All the patients carried mutations in the ADAR1 gene.Three mutations were identified,including one frameshift mutation c.2433-2434delAG in family 2 and two missense mutations,i.e.,c.1760A ＞ G (p.Y587C) in family 1 and c.3620G ＞ T (p.G1207V) in family 3.No mutations were found in the ADAR1 gene in unaffected individuals in these families or the healthy controls.Conclusion Two novel missense mutations are found in the ADAR1 gene of two Chinese families,which may represent a molecular mechanism underlying the development of DSH.

BACKGROUND:Knee society score of Peking Union Medical Col ege has been promoted and used in the 306th Hospital of PLA for 2 years and we have accumulated some clinical data.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the stability and feasibility for suitable clinical medical practice of knee society score of Peking Union Medical Col ege.
METHODS:Fifty-five patients with osteoarthritis of the knee were included, and the patients were divided into
three groups:the preoperative group;3 months postoperative fol ow-up group;6 months postoperative fol ow-up group. The measurement results obtained by the application of the scale were compared to those of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universityies Ostroarthritis Index, visual analog scale, and hospital for special surgery
score, and then knee society score goodness-of-fit analysis was performed based on the structural equation model.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Knee society score performance assessment of the signs and symptoms of
osteoarthritis of the knee patients was positively correlated with the pain severity of visual analog scale score;the overal knee society score of the patients after 6-month fol ow-up was significantly improved compared with that before treatment. The knee society score after 3-and 6-month fol ow-up was significantly higher than that before treatment, and the score was quite with the hospital for special surgery score. The overal assessment of the knee society score after treated for 3 and 6 months was improved for more than grade Ⅰ, the visual analog scale
score was decreased for more than 30%. The pain assessment items and physiological functional assessment items of Western Ontario and McMaster Universityies Ostroarthritis Index after 6-month fol ow-up were
significantly better than those before treatment (P<0.05);the visual analog scale score was poor after 3-month fol ow-up, and there was significant difference in visual analog scale score before and after treatment which was related with the pain level;the score accompanied by function and joint stiffness was significantly improved. The knee society score of Peking Union Medical Col ege obtained four dimensions of 22 assessment projects, and the
goodness-of-fit analysis showed that the scale had good goodness which had scientific nature and application value.

Objective To detect the expression of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in the sun exposure and non-exposure skin,to observe the elastic protein in the same location,and to explore the relationship between non-enzymatic glycation reactions and,photo-aging skin morphological changes.Methods In the exposure and non-exposure specimens from 30 patients,elastic fibers were stained with Gomori staining,and immunohistochemistry for AGEs was performed.Results AGEs expressed clearly positive in all elastic fibers of degeneration markedly (+ + above) of exposure skin,and appeared line-like in markedly(+ + above)elastic fibers.While in all non-exposure skin,AGEs expressed negative.In the exposure skin with middle or old age,compared with non-exposure skin,AGEs expressed more and elastic fibers were hyperplasia with thickening,curling and irregular distribution.The skin parts of AGEs expressed accorded with where elastic fibers degenerated.Conclusions Ultraviolet radiation can induce denaturation of elastic fibers and non-enzymatic glycation may contribute to the mechanism of skin photo-aging.
