Objective To observe the change of neuropeptide of the infant patients with post infection cough (PIC) and explore the possible pathogenesis and diagnostic value.Methods Fifty-two cases with PIC in our hospital were selected as PIC group,while thirty infant patients with bronchopneumonia as pneumonia group.Phlegm cells classification and substance P(S P),neurokinin(NKA),neurokinin (NKB),calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) concentration of the patients in both groups were compared.Results Phlegm cells classification of the two groups showed that,compared with the PIC group,the neutrophils,macrophages,and lymphocytes of the infant patients in the pneumonia group were obviously higher (P ＜ 0.05).After anti-infection treatment,the neutrophils,macrophages and lymphocytes of the infant patients in the pneumonia group were obviously lower(P ＜ 0.01).The phlegm cells classification of the PIC group had not changed significantly before and after treatment (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment,the phlegm cells classification of both groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).During the progress of treatment,there was no evident change for the eosinophils (P ＞ 0.05).Neuropeptide of the two groups showed that,before treatment,the SP and CGRP of the patients in the PIC group were (538.4 ±432.2) ng/L,(123.6 ±70.2) ng/L,and that in the pneumonia group were (613.2 ± 345) ng/L,(156.2 ± 82.6) ng/L.There was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).After treatment,the SP and CGRP of the PIC group were (552.8 ± 421.7) ng/L,(133.5 ± 81.3) ng/L,and there was no significant difference (P ＞0.05).While the SP and CGRP of the patients in the pneumonia group were (156.2 ± 131.2) ng/L,(741.2 ± 35.4) ng/L,they were obviously lower (P ＜ 0.01).There was statistical difference compared with the PIC group after treatment (P ＜ 0.01).The NKA and NKB had not changed significantly before and after treatment.Conclusion Airway neurogenic inflammation mediated SP and CGRP plays a key role in the acute and chronic infections.The increase of SP and CGRP is closely related to the morbidity of PIC.So SP and CGRP is a reference index for early detection of PIC.

Aim To investigate the effect of polydatin on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by high glucose (25.5 mmol·L -1 )and insulin (0.1 μmol ·L -1 ) (HGI)and its possible influence on peroxisome prolif-erator-activated receptor-β (PPARβ)/nuclear tran-scription factor-κB (NF-κB)/nitric oxide (NO)signa-ling pathway.Methods The cardiomyocyte hypertro-phy was characterized in rat primary cardiomyocytes by measuring the cell surface area,protein content,and atrial natriuretic factor (ANF)mRNA expression.The mRNA and protein expressions were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively.The activity of NO synthase (NOS)and NO content were measured by reagent kit through ultraviolet spectroscopy.Results HGI significantly induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy which increased the cell surface area,protein content and ANF mRNA expression (P <0.01 ).Meanwhile, the expressions of PPARβmRNA and protein reduced while the NF-κB p65 and iNOS expressions increased significantly which occurred in parallel with rising NOS activity and NO concentration (P <0.01 ).Polydatin (0.1,1,10 μmol·L -1 )inhibited the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by HGI (P <0.01 ),and re-versed the mRNA and protein expressions of PPARβ, NF-κB p65 and iNOS,and NOS activity,as well as NO content.These effects of polydatin were abolished by GSK0660 (1 μmol·L -1 ),a selective PPARβan-tagonist (P <0.05 ).Conclusion Polydatin resists HGI-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,which may be mediated by PPARβup-regulation,and then NF-κB-iNOS-NO pathway inactivation.

A chiral LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous analysis of desvenlafaxine (DVS) enantiomers in human plasma was developed and applied to a pharmacokinetic study on 12 Chinese healthy volunteers. d6-Desvenlafaxine was used as internal standard (IS). Chromatographic separation was performed on the Astec Chirobiotic V chiral column (150 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The assay was linear over the concentration range of 0.500-150 ng x mL(-1) for both enantiomers (r2 > 0.99). The method was successfully applied to a stereoselective pharmacokinetic study of 100 mg desvenlafaxine sustained release tablets on 12 Chinese healthy volunteers under fasting conditions. The results showed that the pharmacokinetic parameters were similar to both enantiomers in Chinese healthy volunteers. The AUC(0-t), and C(max) of the two enantiomers were about 1.5 times higher than those of blacks and whites reported in the literature.

A rapid, sensitive and convenient LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in human plasma. d2-γ-Aminobutyric acid (d2-GABA) was synthesized as internal standard (IS). After extraction from human plasma by protein precipitation with acetonitrile, all analytes were separated on a Luna HILIC column (100 mm x 3.0 mm, 3 μm) using an isocratic mobile phase of water: acetonitrile: formic acid (20 : 80 : 0.12) with a flow rate of 0.5 mL x min(-1). Acquisition of mass spectrometric data was performed in multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) in positive electrospray ionization using the transitions of m/z 104 --> 69 for GABA and m/z 106 --> 71 for d2-GABA. The method was linear in the concentration range of 5.00 to 1 000 ng x mL(-1). The intra- and inter-day precisions were within 9.9%, and accuracy ranged from 99.1% to 104%, within the acceptable limit across all concentrations. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of GABA tablets in healthy Chinese volunteers.
