Abstract: Objective　To investigate a poisoning incident caused by eating eight treasure congee, and establish liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS)/MS screening method of 28 alkaloids to provide references for disposal of similar poisoning incidents. Methods　LC-MS/MS was used for screening 28 alkaloids in the urine, eight treasure congee and food raw material, and the detected alkaloids were quantified. Samples were extracted with 0.4% formic acid aqueous solution and separated by a Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (1.7 μm, 100 × 2.1 mm). Acetonitrile-0.2% formic acid aqueous solution was used as the mobile phase and gradient elution was adopted. The ionization mode was electrospray positive ionization mode, and the detection method was multi-reaction monitoring (MRM). Analytes were quantified with the external standard method. Results　In the concentration range of 0-100 ng/mL, the linear correlation coefficient r were greater than 0.999 for 28 alkaloids. The recovery of 28 alkaloids in urine sample ranged from 63.0% to 105.0%, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were between 5.8% and 8.6%. The recovery of 28 alkaloids in eight treasure congee sample ranged from 72.0% to 109.0%, and the RSDs were between 6.3% and 9.7%. The recovery of 28 alkaloids in semen sesami nigrum sample ranged from 60.0% to 95.0%, and the RSDs were between 4.8% and 8.2%. Hyoscyamine (2 380.0 ng/mL), scopliamine (3.6 ng/mL) and rac-anisodamine (4.7 ng/mL) were detected in the patient's urine. Hyoscyamine (63.3 μg/g), scopliamine (5.7 μg/g) and rac-anisodamine (2.1 μg/g) were detected in eight treasure congee. Hyoscyamine (901.0 μg/g), scopliamine (80.0 μg/g) and rac-anisodamine (30.1 μg/g) were detected in the seed of Datura stramonium L. The ratio of scopliamine and hyoscyamine in the seed of D. stramonium was 1∶11, which complies with the characteristics of D. stramonium L. In urine sample, the proportion of scopliamine and rac-anisodamine was 0.15% and 0.20%, and hyoscyamine accounted for 99.65%. Conclusion　Seed morphology, the content range and proportion of three alkaloids are all in accord with the characteristics of D. stramonium. Combined with the clinical symptoms of atropine poisoning, it can be deduced that this incident is a family food poisoning caused by accidental consumption of seed of D. stramonium L. The method can provide technical support for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of alkaloid poisoning patients, and also provide a basis for emergency detection and disposal of alkaloid poisoning events.

Objective To establish a mouse model of prostate cancer expressing human PSCA for the development of new anti-tumor drugs or vaccines. Methods The total RNA of DU145 cells,a human prostate cancer cell line,was isolated by using TRIzol reagent according to the (RT-PCR),the first-strand cDNA was synthesized using the SuperScript First-Strand synthesis system. The human PSCA gene was amplified with the primers and cloned into the plasmid pcDNA3.1 to generate pcDNA-PSCA. DNA sequencing was used to confirm the constructs. The mouse prostate tumor cell line RM-1 cells,syngeneic to C57BL/6,were transfected with pcDNA-PSCA plasmids followed by selection using G418. RT-PCR analysis was performed to examine the validity of the constructs. Expression of PSCA on the cell surface was determined by staining with anti-PSCA antibody,and the anti-PSCA antibody was detected using an FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody,and analyzed by flow cytometry. 4-6-week-old male C57BL/6 mice purchased from the Laboratory Animals Center were inoculated with different amounts of RM-PSCA cells to search for suitable cell population which can form tumor in mouse,and the mice were monitored twice a week. The growth and the survival time of mice were measured,respectively. The tumor volume was measured by vernier caliper according to the formula:V=0.5a×b~2,where a and b are the long and short diameters of the tumor,respectively. Results The plasmid pcDNA-PSCA was successfully constructed and the PSCA was successfully expressed in RM-PSCA 7~# and RM-PSCA 28~# cells by RT-PCR and confirmed by flow cytometry. 1×10~5 RM-PSCA cells were sufficient to get tumor growth in 100% of inoculated mice. The tumor grew quickly and the volume of the tumor reached 12000 mm~3 within 34 days. All the mice died within 40 days and their mean survival time was 37 days. Conclusion A PSCA-expressing tumor model in mice has been successfully established. It can be used to evaluate the activities of drugs or vaccines.

Objective:To obtain the high expression of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1(HSV-1)Glycoprotein D gene. Methods:The Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1(HSV-1)Glycoprotein D(gD1) gene fragment containing dominant antigen epitopes confirmed by computer analysis was cloned by PCR technical and inserted into plasmid vector pTrxA. Then the recombinant plasmid was transformed into Rosetta. The expressed product was analyze by SDS-PAGE. Results:930 bp gene fragment was amplified by PCR as anticipated. Nucleotide sequencing showed a 100 % homology with that of the published sequence in GenBank. The molecular weight of the expressed protein was about 48kDa, Western blotting indicated that the antigenicity of the protein was good. Conclusion:The plasmid pTrxA-gd1 was constructed and a high efficiency expression of the gd1 gene from Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1(HSV-1)strain was made. The expressed product shows a good antigenicity.

Plasma obestatin level was determined in patients with impaired glucose regulation and type 2 diabetes mellitus.The plasma obestatin levels in patients of both groups were significantly decreased as compared with that in controls.Plasma obestatin level was negatively correlated with body mass index,HbA_(1C),waist-to-hip ratio,plasma insulin and HOMA-IR.Obestatin level seems to be related with metabolic disorder.

Neurovascular unit (NVU) concept proposed for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) provides a new target, i.e., we should target as an integrity including neurons, glia, and microcirculation, thus supplementing limitations of previous treatment targeting neurons or blood vessels alone. Meanwhile, many clinical trials have failed after NVU protection against AIS drug research has developed at home and abroad. Chinese medicine has multi-component, multi-target, and overall regulation advantages, and is in line with clinical requirement for overall treatment targeting multiple targets of NVU. Currently clinical studies of Chinese medicine treatment of AIS targeting NVU are few. Standardized and systematic clinical efficacy evaluation is lack. Clinical studies for improving AIS-NVU injured blood markers by Chinese medicine are rarer. We hope to pave the way for performing clinical studies on Chinese medicine treatment of AIS targeting NVU.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum-VEGF(sVEGF)and clinical features in children and adolescent patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma(NHL) and acute lymphoblagtic leukemia(ALL).Methods The sVEGF in 101 of pretreated NHL and ALL patients were detected by enzymelinked inununosorbent assay(ELISA).The sVEGF prior and post-treatment were compared in 61 patients who achieved complete remission(CR).Results The median sVEGF was 567.70 ng/L in 81 prior-treated NHL patients.It was significantly higher than that in normal controls(P＜0.001).The median sVEGF wag 253.90 ng/L in 49 patients with CR,which was significantly different compared to pretherapeutic level(P＜0.001),whereag no statistical difference was observed compared to the normal controls. No relationships were found between sVEGF and clinical indexes such as clinical stage,Bsymptoms,gender,performance status(PS)score,bulk and serum lactate dehydrogenage (LDH)et al in untreated NHL patients.The median sVEGF was 198.60 ng/L in 20 untreated ALL patients.which wag no statistically different in comparison with that of normal controls.And the median sVEGF wag 181.73 ng/L in 12 of the CR ALL patients.which wag not statistically different in comparison with that in prior-treatment group or normal controls.Conclusion This study showed that the sVEGF in untreated children and adoleseent patients with NHL were higher than that of normal controls.The high sVEGF dmpped after achieving CR.There was no relationship between the level of sVEGF and clinical characteristics in the NHL patients.The sVEGF level in untreated ALL patients wag not difierent compared to that of the normal controls.and there was no change for sVEGF after chemotherapy in ALL patients.
