To establish a simple and sensitive LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of the concentration for L-tryptophan(L-Try)and L-kynurenine(L-Kyn)in rat plasma. The changesin the process of the liver tumors formation may provide a basis for the diagnosis of liver cancer. 3-Nitro-L-tyrosine(3-NT)were added as the internal standard for the determination of two active substances and the chromatographic analysis was performed on a RRHD Eclipse Plus C18 column(3. 0 mm×100 mm, 1. 8 μm). The mobile phase was composed of water and acetonitrile(containing 0. 1%formic acid)(90 ∶10)at a flow rate of 0. 25 mL/min, and the injection volume is 5 μL. Detection and quantification were performed by mass spectrometry in multiple reaction monitoring mode with m/z 205. 12→146. 10(L-Try), m/z 209. 09 →146. 10(L-Kyn), m/z 227. 09→181. 10(3-NT), respectively. The results show that thelinear ranges were 9. 670-9 670 ng/mL for L-Try, and 9. 973-9973 ng/mL for L-Kyn(r2≥0. 9990). The limit of quantitation were 9. 670 ng/mL for L-Try, and 9. 973 ng/mL for L-Kyn, respectively. The intra- and inter-day precisions were all less than15%; the recoveries ofthe two analytes were more than 81. 17% and severe matrix effect was not observed. The ratio of L-Try/L-Kyn determined by LC-MS/MS in rat plasma showed an overall downward trend, which could used effectively for the drug metabolism studies and researches on the action mechanism of medicine on liver cancer. A rapid, simple, sensitive and specific LC-MS/MS method has been successfully developed and could also be used effectively for the drug metabolism studies and researches on the action mechanism of medicine on liver cancer.

Objective:To explore the views of general practitioners (GPs) on developing special interests in the context of the county medical community.Methods:A survey was conducted using self-designed questionnaire from November and December 2019, among 49 general practice residents trained in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. Meanwhile, structured interviews were undertaken with 14 general practice residents.Results:Forty-nine valid questionnaires were collected with a response rate of 100.0%. All participants were from the county medical community units. The survey showed that 91.8% (45/49) of respondents were willing to develop special interests and 79.6% (39/45) chose one subject, and the top three subjects were endocrinology, gastroenterology and cardiology. The structured interviews demonstrated that most participants did not understand meaning of general practitioners with special interests (GPwSIs) clearly and were unable to distinguish GPwSIs from specialists; they were confused about the status, training mode, and assessment standards of GPwSIs. The interviews also showed that the demand for developing special interests for them was derived from the needs of patients for diagnosis and treatment, the target population of health care services, peer advice and personal interests.Conclusions:Most general practice residents are willing to develop special interests, and internal medicine is the first choice; however, their understanding of the GPwSIs is insufficient. The survey suggests that the position, training model, assessment and certification of GPwSI need to be further clarified.

OBJECTIVE: To study the repair effect of artificial Isaria cicadae on intestinal mucosal injury induced by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in rats. METHODS: Forty SD rats were randomly divided into normal group (normal saline), model group (normal saline), artificial I. cicadae high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose groups (3.5, 1.75, 0.875 g/kg), with 8 rats in each group. Except for normal group, other groups were given intraperitoneal injection of 5-FU (0.25 g/10 mL) 30 mg/kg, once a day, for consecutive 5 days. At the same time, each group was given relevant medicine/normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 8 d. After medication, body weight of rat was determined in each group. HE staining was used to observe the pathological change of small intestine. The levels of biobarrier-related factor [endotoxin (ET), D-lactic acid (D-LA)], immune barrier related factors (TNF-α, IFN-γ, sIgA, IL-15, G-CSF in serum and MPO, MDA in small intestine) and the levels of mechanical barrier related factors (connexin ZO-1 and Claudin-1) were detected. RESULTS: Compared with normal group, body weight of rats in model group was decreased significantly (P<0.01). Intestinal villus exfoliated obviously, the crypt structure was scattered, a large number of inflammatory cells gathered, and intestinal mucosa was seriously damaged. Serum levels of ET and D-LA, the levels of TNF-a, IFN-γ, MPO and G-CSF in serum, MDA level in small intestine were increased significantly (P<0.01). Serum levels of sIgA and IL-15 as well as the expressions of ZO-1 and Claudin-1 in small intestine were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group, body weight of rats in artificial I. cicadae high-dose group was increased significantly (P<0.01). The pathological changes of the small intestine of rats in each administration group were improved to varying degrees. The intestine morphology of artificial I. cicadae high-dose and medium-dose groups was close to that of the normal group. The levels of and ET, D-LA, TNF-α, IFN-γ, MPO, G-CSF in serum and the level of MDA in intestinal were decreased significantly (P<0.01). Serum levels of sIgA and IL-15 in administration groups as well as the expressions of ZO-1 and Claudin-1 in intestinal tissue were increased significantly (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Artificial I. cicadae can repair intestinal mucosal damage caused by 5-FU in respects of mechanical barrier, immune barrier, biological barrier.

National and regional incidence rates were calculated. The data of cause of injury,injury level,severity of injury,segment and type of fracture,complications,death and other data were collected by medical record questionnaire,and analyzed according to geographical region,age and gender.Results:Medical records of 4,134 patients were included in this study,with a male-to-female ratio of 2.99∶1. The incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury in China in 2018 was 50.484 / 1 million (95% CI 50.122-50.846). The highest incidence in the Eastern region was 53.791 / 1 million (95% CI 53.217-54.365). In the whole country,the main causes of injury were high falls (29.58%),as well as in the Western region (40.68%),while the main causes of injury in the Eastern and Central regions were traffic injuries (31.22%,30.10%). The main injury level was cervical spinal cord in the whole country (64.49%),and the proportion of cervical spinal cord injury in the Central region was the highest (74.68%),and the proportion of lumbosacral spinal cord injury in the Western region was the highest (32.30%). The highest proportion of degree of injury was incomplete quadriplegia (55.20%),and the distribution pattern was the same in each region. A total of 65.87% of the patients were complicated with fracture or dislocation,77.95% in the Western region and only 54.77% in the Central region. In the whole country,the head was the main combined injury (37.87%),as well as in the Eastern and Central regions,while the proportion of chest combined injury in the Western region was the highest (38.57%). A total of 32.90% of the patients were complicated with respiratory complications. There were 23 patients (0.56%) died in hospital,of which 17(73.91%) died of respiratory dysfunction. Conclusions:The Eastern region of China has a high incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury. Other epidemiological features include high fall as the main cause of injury cervical spinal cord injury as the main injury level,incomplete quadriplegia as the main degree of injury,head as the main combined injury,and respiratory complications as the main complication.
