The authors determined the concentration of matrine in rabbit blood plasma with HPLC after it was injected intravenously at constant rate and studied the pharmacokinetics with following five dosage groups of 10,15,20,30 and 60 mg/kg,respectively.As a result,the pharmacokinetics of matrine in rabbit body coincides with two-compartment open model.For 10-30mg/kg dosage groups,the t_(1/2)?,Vc and CLS are similar basically. A direct proportion increase in AUC as dose is increased.The matrine reveals linear elim- ination.For 60 mg/kg dosage group,t_(1/2)? obviously lengthens.AUC increases over pro- portion.The elimination of matrine is nonlinear.

Objective To investigate the TH1/TH2 patterns by calculating the percentage of TH1, TH2 cells, and the TH1/TH2 ratio of peripheral blood from patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Methods The percentage of TH1 and TH2 cells in peripheral blood from 15 normal pregnant controls and 20 PIH patients (including 12 moderate and 8 severe cases) were calculated using flow cytometry for the analysis of both the surface marker CD3 CD8 and intracellular cytokines, interleukin-4 (IL-4), and interferon-? (IFN-?). Results The percentage of TH1 cells and the ratio of TH1/TH2 in PIH patients were significantly higher than those in the normal third-trimester pregnant controls [(20.50?4.02)% vs (12.57?2.18)%, P

0.99).The limits of detection were below 0.5 ?g/L.The rates of recovery for the spiked samples ranged from 70.1% to 117.9% and the relative standard deviations(RSD) were between 0.4%-16.1%.Conclusion The method is simple,rapid,accurate and is applicable to the simultaneous determination of multi-pesticide residues in drinking water.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between blood pressure, blood glucose or blood lipids and patients with cerebral infarction (CI) or intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in diff erent age or gender. Methods: hT e case-control study consecutively recruited patients with if rst-ever-in-a-lifetime CI (n=358) and ICH (n=230) and community-acquired pneumonia (n=165) as controls between January 2010 and December 2013 at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. hT epatients with CI or ICH were divided into the young group, the middle-aged group and the older group, and the risk factors were compared between the 3 groups. hTe patients with CI or ICH were respectively further divided into the male group and the female group. hTe blood pressure, glucose and lipids were measured. Results: Data from logistic regression models showed that CI was closely associated with high blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM) or fasting plasma glucose (FPG) (P<0.05), and ICH was closely related to high blood pressure, hypertension, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), FPG, serum creatinine (SCr) or alcohol drinking (P<0.05); hypertension was the main risk factor for stroke. hTe odds ratios for the young, the middle-aged and older group were 10.43, 4.74 and 7.39 respectively (P<0.05). Systolic blood pressure (OR=28.74) was the important risk factor for the young stroke, and the OR is 2.81 for the middle-aged stroke. Diastolic blood pressure (OR=2.96) and DM (OR=6.25) were the risk factor for the middle-aged stroke. LDL-C (OR=2.87) was a risk factor for the older stroke; the mean levels of diastolic blood pressure in males were signiifcantly increased compared with that in females with CI, while the mean levels of TC, HDL-C or LDL-C in females were signiifcantly higher than that in males with ICH (P<0.05). Conclusion: Hypertension, systolic blood pressure in particular, is the most common risk factor for young stroke patients. DM and hypertension are the risk factors for the middle-aged patients, while hypertension, DM, LDL-C and alcohol consuming are the risk factors for the aged patients.

Objective To explore the effect of caspase-9 inhibitor on low fetal bovine serum ( FBS)-induced apop-tosis in cartilage endplate chondrocytes in SD rat vertebrae.Methods Disc cartilage endplates were obtained from 3-month old SD rats and subjected to sequential digestion to harvest chondrocytes for primary culture, and apoptosis was in-duced by 1%FBS for 48 hours.Three groups of chondrocytes were treated by 1% FBS, caspase-9 inhibitor ( Z-LEHD-FMK) and DMSO, respectively.After 48 hours, apoptosis was detected by DAPI staining and flow cytometry.The expres-sion of procaspase-9, active caspase-9 and active caspase-3 was monitored by Western blot.Results Compared with the 1%FBS group (40.8 ±0.84)%and DMSO group (40.2 ±1.56)%, the apoptosis rate of the caspase-9 inhibitor group (26.3 ±2.56)% was significantly lower (P<0.05).The expressions of active caspase-9 and active caspase-3 in the caspase-9 inhibitor group were significantly lower than those in the other two groups (P<0.05).Conclusions Caspase-9 inhibitor can inhibit low FBS-induced apoptosis in cartilage endplate chondrocytes of rat vertebrae, and might become a new drug for the treatment of disc degeneration.

Objective To determine the possible genetic background and the source of our hospital's 43 clinical isolates of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, and the category of gene cassettes in type 1 integrons of all strains.Methods Restriction enzyme Apa I was chosed for all strains in pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) methods.Multilocus sequence typing ( MLST) was used to compare the allelic profiles of all the strains. PCR method was used for amplify the integrons of all strains. Results PFGE results showed that 43 strains were divided into four types. A-type and B-type were divided into 4 and 2 subtypes, respectively. The MLST results showed the existing of three allelic profiles; 1-3-3-2-2-7-3, 1-3-3-2-2-11-3, and 1-3-3-2-2-14-3.B-type and D-type of PFGE have the same allelic profile(1-3-3-2-2-11-3).A-type strains were detected mainly in ICU, and in burn unit only found B- and D-type.The same integron was detected in 62.8% of the strains.The constituent ratio of A1,A2,A3,A4,B1,B2,C and D-type was 40.7% , 18.5% , 7.4% , 3.7% , 14.8% , 3.7% , 3.7% and 7.4% , respectively.Conclusions The coexistence of multiple cloning system in this region was proved by the PFGE and MLST, and the same clone can evolve to different subtypes when stimulated by different environmental conditions; and the different carrying-situationt of the same integron in strains prove the possibility of the change during the evolution of resistance mechanisms.
