The present paper reports that the fenfluramine(FA), amphetamine(AP) and methamphetamine(MA) were extracted from the blood by the solid phase microextraction(SPME). The drugs were extracted for 15 min under the condition of 70℃ by a polydimethylsiloxane fiber. d5-methamphetamine(IS) was used as an internal standard. GC/MS was used for analysis with the injection method of derivatization on column. The ions at m/z 268(FA), m/z 240(AP), m/z 254(MA) and m/z 258(IS) in the selected ion minitoring chromatograms were selected for quantitation. Each compound was detectable at least 0 01～0 03 ?g/g. By determination of fenfluramine in poisoning blood, it is proved that this method would be demonstrated to be simple and accurate.

Objective To study the apllication value of cerebraspinal fluid minimal residual leukemia cells(MRLCs) combined with lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) detection in early diagnosis of central nervous system leukemia(CNSL) to provide a laboratory basis for clinical diagnosis and evaluation of disease progression and therapeutic effect.Methods Thirty inpatiernts without blood disease and central nervous system(CNS) organic diseases,and normal CSF routine and detected biochemical indexes were selected as the control group and 96 cases of acute leukemia (AL) diagnosed by bone marrow puncture FAB morphology and flow cytometry typing served as the disease group.Flow cytometry was used to detect the MRLCs in CSF,the activity of LDH in CSF was detected by the rate method,and the detection results were performed the comparative analysis.Results Among 96 cases of AL,30 patients with CNSL had 13 cases of positive MRLCs in CSF,the positive rate was 43.33%,among 66 cases of non-MRLCs,MRLCs was not detected detected.Among 96 cases of AL,CSF LDH level in 30 cases of CNSL was (30.54±10.29)U/L,which was significantly higher (16.16±7.12)U/L in the patients without CNSL,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The detection of MRLCs and LDH in CSF of AL can be used as a laboratory diagnostic index for early diagnosis of CNSL,and MRLCs combined with LDH detection can improve the positive diagnosis rate of CNSL.

Conclusion The nm-haFGF can protect cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice.

Objective To analyze the electrophysiological characteristics of Hirayama disease and explore their significance for its diagnosis.MethodsElectrophysiological tests were performed on 18 patients who fulfilled the clinical criteria for Hirayama disease. Sixteen were males and 2 were females. The mean age was 24.9years old ( 19-58 years), and the mean case history was 5.2 years ( 1-40 years). The Hirayama disease was clearly unilateral in 10 patients and bilateral in 3, with 5 cases suspected of being bilateral. Motor neuron conduction velocity (MCV) and sensory neuron conduction velocity (SCV) were measured in the median and ulnar nerves.Electromyograms (EMGs) of the abductor digiti minimi, abductor pollicis brevis, extensor digitorum communis,brachioradialis muscle, biceps brachii and sternocleidomastoid were recorded in all cases. The MCV and SCV of the common peroneal nerve and an EMG of the tibialis anterior muscle were examined in one leg. The MCV and SCV of the ulnar nerve and EMGs of the abductor digiti minimi, extensor digitorum communis and brachioradialis muscles were inspected on the contralateral sides of 8 cases, including the patients suspected of suffering bilateral Hirayama disease. The MCVs of the median and ulnar nerves were examined segmentally by stimulating the nerves distally as well as proximally, and recording the amplitude, duration and area of compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) and changes in wave form, then determining whether there was a nerve conduction block.Results (1) No conduction block was detected in any median nerve or ulnar nerve among the 18 cases. (2) All the SCVs and sensory nerve action potentials of the median and ulnar nerves were normal. ( 3 ) All the MCVs and SCVs of the common peroneal nerve and the EMGs of the anterior tibialis muscles were normal. (4) MCV slowing in the upper limbs accounted for 41.3％ (19/44) of the examined nerves. The rates of MCV decrease were 72.2％ (13/18)in the ulnar nerve on the affected sides, 33.3％ (6/18) in the median nerve on the affected sides and 0％ (0/8)in the ulnar nerve on the contralateral sides. (5) Amplitude reduction in the CMAP in the upper limbs accounted for 81.8％ (36/44) of the examined nerves. The rates of amplitude decrease were 100％ (18/18) in the ulnar nerves of the affected sides, 77.8％(14/18) of median nerves on the affected side and 50％(4/8) of ulnar nerves on the contralateral side. ( 6 ) Upper limb EMGs revealed a rate of neurogenic damage of 47.0％ ( 62/132). The EMGs decreased in 100％ (18/18) of the abductor digiti minimi and abductor pollicis brevis on the affected side, 88.9％ (16/18) of extensor digitorum communis on the affected side, 62.5％ (5/8) of the abductor digiti minimi on the contralateral side, 37.5％ (3/8) of the extensor digitorum communis on the contralateral side,5.6％ ( 1/18 ) of the brachioradialis and biceps brachii muscles on the affected sides. There was no neurogenic damage of the contralateral brachioradialis muscle or the sternocleidomastoid on the affected side.Conclusions The electrophysiological features of Hirayama disease include unilateral or bilateral neurogenic damage in the upper limbs. According to the abnormal EMGs, spinal anterior horn cells on the affected sides were injured at C7-T1. C6and above C6 were rarely involved. The electrophysiological characteristics of Hirayama disease could provide a clear basis for localization and differentiation in Hirayama disease diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the hepatocyte targeted specific property of galactosylated chitosan-graft-polyethyleneimine (GC-PEI)/DNA complexes in vitro and in vivo.Methods With the plasmid expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (pEGFP-C1) as the reporter gene,the formation of GC-PEI/DNA complexes was induced to self-assemble in 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffered saline(PBS),150 mmol/L NaCl,or 5% glucose solution (GS).The complexes were characterized by the particle size,Zeta potential,DNA binding and protection capacity,and further tested for cytotoxicity and hepatocyte targeted degradation of DNaseⅠand the serum,which presented as a well-formed sphere or compacted nucleocapsid structure at a diameter of 50-200 nm.The GC-PEI copolymer showed no obvious toxicity in the tested cell lines.Acute toxicity assay revealed that the mice grew well in 2 weeks with GC-PEI dosage from 50 to 300 μg.The assay by flow cytometry and fluorescent microscope showed that the transfection efficiency in hepatocyte lines (L02,QSG7701/core) was higher than that in non-hepatocyte lines (SGC7901,HBE) in vitro.In vivo,the GFP was obviously expressed in the liver tissue and not expressed in other organs 48 h after the transfection.Conclusion GC-PEI copolymer may carry the exogenous gene specifically to hepatocytes in vitro and in vivo,which has very good liver targeted specific property.
