13C metabolic flux analysis(13CMFA)have been the research hotspots of metabolic engineering internationally due to its accuracy and applicability.It is vital that the measurement of 13C labelling pattern of proteinogenic amino acids for 13C metabolic flux analysis.To acquire 13C-labelling proteinogenic amino acids,Pseudomonas denitrifican which products Vitamin B12 was firstly fed with mimimal culture medium contained 20% U-13C and 80% natural glucose,after the culture reached a steady state,then about 20 mg biomass was hydrolyzed by 1 ml of 6 mol/L hydrochloric acid for 24h at 110℃.Then amino acids was separated,concentrated,evaporated in a vacuum,and derivatized with MBDSTFA,TBDMS-derivatized amino acids can be observed by GC-MS last we get 13C labelling pattern of fifteen aminio acids through mass spectrum.The experimental methods and sample preparation offers referential value for the development of 13C metabolic flux analysis in our courtry.

The aim of this study is to prepare self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) of the mixture of paeonol (Pae) and borneol (Bor). Solubility test, ternary phase diagrams and simplex lattice method were employed to screen and optimize the formulation of the mixture of Pae and Bor-loaded SMEDDS. After formed into microemulsions, the particle diameter (PD) was determined and a TEM was employed to observe the microemulsions' morphology. The contents of Pae and Bor were determined by gas chromatography. As a result, while ethyl oleate (EO) as the oil phase, cremophor EL35 (EL35) as surfactant and Transcutol HP (HP) as cosurfactant, the range of the microemulsion on the ternary phase diagram was larger than other combinations. And at a ratio of 20:45:35, the microemulsions' PD was about 34 nm and the polydispersity index (PI) was about 0.2. There were 16% of Pae, 2% of Bor, 16% of EO, 37% of EL35 and 29% of HP in the prepared SMEDDS. The preparation process of the Pae and Bor-loaded SMEDDS based on Xingbi Fang is simple and feasible. This study provides a reference for the researches on the related traditional Chinese medicine and the related components.

Proficiency in pharmaceutical biotechnology requires a solid foundation of theoretical knowledge as well as a capability for research and innovations.A set of practical teaching programs have been developed to train practical talents in pharmaceutical biotechnology.These programs have strengthened the practical teaching system amd trained students to focus on research and innovation. Significant resuits have been found by using internal and external teaching resources and a foeus on key subjects.

Objective To study the nasal mucosa absorption of paeonol ofXingbi microemulsion-based thermo-sensitive gel in rats; To evaluate the nasal mucosa absorption of medicine and the rationality of preparation form.Methods According to the nasal administration method, the blood medicine concentration of paeonol was determined at different time points.Results The nasal administration bioavailability of paeonol in Xingbi microemulsion-based thermo-sensitive gel was 78.68%, the plasma concentration reached the maximum (0.3404 μg/mL) after 3 min of administration, and the average residence time was 9.23 h. After reaching Cmax, The plasma concentration changed similar to intravenous administration of paeonol. The concentration data of paeonol in plasma was consistent with a two-compartment model, with a weight of 1.Conclusion Xingbi microemulsion-based thermo- sensitive gel has a higher bioavailability, and the preparation form was reasonable.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between chromosomal abnormalities and Y chromosome microdeletions in idiopathic male infertile patients.

METHODSKaryotypic analysis and PCR were carried out in 133 male idiopathic infertile patients for chromosome karyotype and Y chromosome microdeletion analysis.

RESULTSOf the 133 patients, 25 (18.80%) were found to have chromosome abnormalities, and 12 (9.02%) were found to have Y chromosome microdeletions including 2 with varicocele and 2 with cryptorchism. Four patients had both chromosomal abnormalities and Y chromosome microdeletions.

CONCLUSIONThe chromosomal abnormalities and Y chromosome microdeletions may play an important role in idiopathic male infertility, suggesting the importance of examinations of chromosomal abnormalities and Y chromosome microdeletions in such patients.

Objective To present a preliminary latest procedure for portal hypertension and evaluate the technical feasibility and efficacy of portacaval shunt creation through the percutaneous transhepatic approach in order to make a hemodynamic comparison with that of the classic TIPS.Methods Thirty-eight patients with portal hypertension(36 men;mean age 57 years,range 32～73)were referred for PTPS procedure because of bleeding varices(n=36),intractable ascites(n=1),and hepatopulmonary syndrome(n=1).The severity of liver disease was classified as Child-Pugh B in 27 and C in 11.The PTPS was created by a percutaneous transhepatic puncture into right portal vein and then through left portal vein to the hepatic segment of IVC followed by a prefabrication stress stent-graft placement at the very site.Results Technical and functional success of 100% was achieved in all patients,without related complications.The postprocedural portal vein-IVC gradients mean 13 cmH_2O was achieved with the follow-up period mean 493 days.No recurrence of variceal bleeding and controlled refractory ascites were achieved,and still more with primary patency rate of the involved vascular structure up to 94.8% at 365 days,much better than classic TIPS. Conclusions Portacaval shunt creation using the prefabrication stress stent via percutaneous transhepatic technique is safe and feasible.The compact coincidence was obtained between the stent and the involved vessel with restoration of intrahepatic portal venous bemodynamics together with partial lowering of portal venous pressure and guaranteeing intrahepatic perfusion through right portal vein.It is also obviously to have postoperative prevention of shunt restenoses and lowering postoperative incidence of hepato-encephalopathy.

OBJECTIVETo prepare the nasal thermosensible gels of Chinese medicine Xingbi and study the release mechanism.

METHODThe gels were prepared by using P407 as the gel matrix and P188 and PEG 6000 were used to adjust the gelatination temperature. The formulations were screened by the method of orthogonal test. Mathematic models were used to imitate the drug release.

RESULT20% poloxmar 407, 2% poloxmar 188 and 2% PEG 6000 were suitable to Chinese medicine Xingbi thermosensitive gel in situ. Nasal thermosensible gels of Chinese medicine Xingbi was gelated at the temperature between 32-34 degrees C and the dissolution curves in vitro showed that the drug release could be best described by the Higuchi equation.

CONCLUSIONThe formulation of the nasal thermosensible gels of Chinese medicine Xingbi is reasonable and it is worth doing further research.

AIM: To investigate the risk factors for pregnancy induced hypertension retinopathy, and analyze its influence on maternal and child pregnancy outcomes. METHODS: A total of 100 patients with gestational hypertension who met the requirements of screening were selected, they were divided into two groups, without retinal lesion group (n = 29) and retinopathy group (n=71). The age, course of disease, gestational age, blood pressure, proteinuria and hematocrit in two groups were investigated. The risk factors were detected by single factor analysis, and then the study on independent risk factors were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis. At the same time,their influence on maternal and child pregnancy outcomes were investigated. RESULTS: The single factor analysis showed that except for age, the differences in the course of disease, gestational age, blood pressure, proteinuria and hematocrit were statistically significant (P < 0. 01). Logistic regression analysis showed that the course of disease, blood pressure, proteinuria and hematocrit were the risk factors of retinopathy, gestational age was a protective factor. Compared with the group without retinopathy, the incidence of preterm birth, placental abruption, postpartum hemorrhage, perinatal death in the patients with retinopathy significantly increased, and the difference were statistically significant(P<0.01),and there was a certain correlation between the extent of increase and the grade of retinopathy. CONCLUSION: Course of disease, blood pressure, proteinuria and hematocrit of patients with the hypertension of pregnancy are the risk factors of retinopathy,retinopathy has a serious adverse effect on maternal and child pregnancy outcomes.
