A new method for the determination of peptide antibiotics in sediment from aquaculture environment by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed. The target analytes in sediments were ultrasonically extracted twice with citrate buffer solution and methol mixture (3∶ 4, V/ V), followed by complexation with 0. 5 g of Na2 EDTA, purification with 5 mL of methyl isobutyl ketone, and clean-up with HLB-SPE column. The analytes were separated on a MGII C18 column by gradient elution with 0. 1% formaic acid-0. 1% formaic acid acetonitrile as mobile phase, detected in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) with electrospray ionization (ESI) under positive ion mode, and quantified by external standard method. The calibration curves were linear (R2 >0. 999) over a concentration range of 10 -10000μg / L for colistin and bacitracin and 4-4000 μg / L for virginiamycin M1 . The limits of detection (S / N = 3) were 5 μg / kg for colistin and bacitracin and 2 μg / kg for virginiamycin M1 . The limits of quantification (S / N=10) was 10 μg / kg for colistin and bacitracin and 4 μg / kg for virginiamycin M1 . At three spiked levels, the recoveries ranged from 79. 7% to 91. 6% (RSD=1. 9% -10. 8% ), showing high sensitivity, good reproducibility and wide applicability.

BACKGROUND: Nowadays, it is thought that transforming growth factorβ (TGFβ) is closely related with cicatrization. TGFβ that is a key active molecule can affect each phase of cicatrization. Theoretically, to inhibit the biological effect of TGF β can reduce cicatrization.OBJECTIVE: To explore the inhibitive effect of antisense TGF β1 deoxy-oligonucleotide on generation of cicatricle in intention of animal models with hyperplastic scars and observe the effective route of administration of using antisense TGF β1.DESIGN: Own control and animal study.SETTING: Department of Plastic Surgery, Anning Hospital of General Hospital, Lanzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLAMATERIALS: The experiment was performed at the laboratory of anatomy,Lanzhou Medical College from September 2002 to July 2003. Totally 20flap-eared Japanese rabbits were selected.METHODS: Blood vessels could be seen in ventral surface of each rabbits' ear getting out of the way along long axis to establish two 1.0 cm×2.5 cm oblong full-thickness cutaneous deficiency raw surfaces that interval for 1.5 cm, to the surface of cartilage, totally 80, so asto establish ventral surface of rabbits' ear models with hyperplastic scars. After epithelizatio of raw surfaces of rabbits' ear (20 days, averagely), 5μL(1 g/L) antisense TGF β1 deoxy-oligonucleotide was closely injected into local endepidermis of each raw surface of left ear of each rabbit with microinjector, which was regarded as TGF β1 group. 5 μL saline was injected into each raw surface of right ears, which was regarded as saline control group. After injection for3, 7, 11, 20, 30 days, cicatricial tissues were cut, 4 rabbits in each time phase. Hematoxylin-esoin (HE) staining, Masson staining and TGFβ1 mRNA, type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen mRNA in situ hybridization histochemistry staining were applied.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Results of HE staining, Masson staining and in situ hybridization histochemistry staining.RESUTLS: A total of 20 animals were included in the result analysis. ①HE staining showed that inflammatory cell infiltration and significant infiltrative zone of leukocytes occurred in hyperplastic scars of right ears in each group. There was inflammatory cell infiltration, but no infiltrative zone of leukocytes in hyperplastic scars of left ears after intervention with antisense TGF β1. ②Masson staining suggested that collagen fibers with deep blue-stain occurred in hyperplastic scars of right ears from the 3rd week after injury, till the 7th week there still was blue-stain collagen fibers,which was bulky (width of about 8-10 μm) and arranged in a great mess.The blue-stain collagenous fibers also appeared in hyperplastic scars of left ears at the 3rd week after injury by the intervention of antisense TGF β1,but till the 6th and 7th weeks the blue-stain became light and thin (width of about 3-5 μm), arranged in order. ③In situ hybridization revealed that expressive rates of TGF β1 mRNA, type Ⅰ collagen mRNA, type Ⅲ collagen mRNA positive cells decreased obviously.CONCLUSION: Antisense TGF β1 can inhibit the proliferation of hyperplastic scars of rabbits' ears and lighten markedly the fibrosis of cicatricial tissue. The local injection with naked DNA is feasible in the treatment of cicatricle.

Objective To investigate the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP 2), matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP 7), and tissue inhibitor of matalloproteinase 2 (TIMP 2) in lung carcinoma tissue and their significance Methods The expressions of MMP 2, MMP 7, and TIMP 2 in 74 cases of lung carcinoma tissues and 20 cases of peri cancerous normal lung tissues were detected by immunohistochemical method, and the correlation between the expressions of these proteins and the clinicopathological parameters and the prognosis was analyzed Results MMP 2 and MMP 7 expressions in lung carcinoma tissues were significantly higher than those in peri cancerous normal lung tissues ( P 0 05), and the expression of TIMP 2 was significantly lower in lung carcinomas with lymph node metastasis than that in lung carcinomas without lymph node metastasis ( P

Objective To understand the clinical characteristics of primary small vessel vasculitis with involvement of lungs in children and analyze the causes of misdiagnosis.Methods Clinical data from 16 patients with primary small vessel vasculitis were collected and their pathological,antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA),pulmonary lesion manifestations,image and misdiagnosis were further analyzed.Results Among 16 cases,9 cases were microscopic polyarateritis(MPA) and 4 cases were Wegeners granulomatosis(WG) and 3 cases were Churg-Strause syndrome(CSS).The ages of onset were from 3 to 14 years old with average age of 7.5 years old.Seventy-five percent(12/16) were ANCA positive.The patients with lung involvement had cough,chest pain,dyspnea,hemoptasis and asthma.Findings on lung X-ray films were variable.Some showed multiple patch shadows,others showed single or multiple masses or nodular shadows with or without cavity formation.After the treatments with corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide,10 cases turned better;including 8 cases with normal on lung X-ray films.Three cases given up;3 cases died.Conclusion It is very difficult to make diagnosis of primary small vessel vasculitis with involvement of lungs and should be paid more attentions to this issue.

Objective To study the effect of hypothyroidism on oxidative stress status in developing rat brain and to further explore the mechanism of impaired brain development caused by hypothyroidism. Methods Perinatal hypothyroidism was induced by administering propylthiouracil(PTU) solution to the dams by gavage.The oxidative stress indexes were measured in brain homogenate of normal and hypothyroid pups which were sacrificed on the 21st d after birth. Results As compared to the control,the following indexes were found to be increased in the hypothyroid group: protein carbonyl contents,thiobarbital acid reactive substances,reduced glutathione,total antioxidative capacity,activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase(P0.05). Conclusion Hypothyroidism during rat brain development may cause oxidative stress,which may be related to the brain damage caused by hypothyroidism.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of different strategy of antithrombotic therapy in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary disease.Methods 224 inpatients and outpatients with AF and coronary disease whose mean follow-up time was 2 years,were divided into warfarin group,warfarin combined with antiplatelet drug(aspirin or clopidogrel) group,antiplatelet drug(aspirin or clopidogrel) group and control group.The thromboembolic event rate and adverse events incidence were observed in different groups.Results The risk of thromboembolic events,particular emerging risk of cerebral infarction in the control group(12.50 ％) was significantly higher than other groups (P＜ 0.05).Thrombotic event rates in warfarin + single joint group(2.78％) was lower than other groups(warfarin group 4.29 ％,single joint group 5.81％),but there was no significant statistical difference.The overall risk of bleeding in the control group (3.13 ％) was significantly lower than other antithrombotic group (P＜0.05).The incidence of skin bruising in single joint group was lower than other antithrombotic groups,the overall bleeding risk,especially gasfrointestinal bleeding in warfarin+ single joint group was significantly higher than other groups (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Elderly patients with coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation need antithrombotic therapy to prevent thrombotic events.Using warfarin alone or warfarin combined antiplatelet drug does not lead to serious bleeding events,but generally bleeding risk should be attracted more attention.
