The linear range of the three optical isomers was 0. 6-20μg·ml-1(r≥0. 999 7). The average re-covery was 104. 1%, 105. 5% and 92. 0% with RSD of 2. 3%, 2. 4% and 2. 7%, respectively (n=9). The limit of quantification and detection limit was 3 ng and 1 ng, respectively. Conclusion:The method is rapid and accurate, and can be used for the determi-nation of optical isomers in bortezomib.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of different pressure on microcirculation of scar proliferation. METHODS: A total of 60 patients with scar proliferation after burning were collected, including 49 males and 11 females, with averagely aged 37 years. The patients were divided into low pressure (0.67-1.33 kPa), normal pressure (1.33-3.33 kPa) and high pressure (3.33-6.67 kPa) groups by envelope method. Pressure tension bandage was used at 1 week after wound healing and gradually increased, reached expected pressure at days 5-7 and sustained for 6 months. Then the changes of blood perfusion at the scar tissue were measured by laser Doppler perfusion imaging (LDPI). RESULTS: According to the intended processing analysis, all the 60 patients enter the result analysis. There were no significant differences of the scar tissue perfusion of the 3 groups before the therapy. After the therapy, the perfusion was decreased in the low pressure group, but there are no statistical changes compared to before the therapy (P > 0.05), while the perfusion was decreased in the normal pressure and high pressure groups (P < 0.05), which was lower in the high pressure group than the normal pressure group (P < 0.05). When the pressure increased to 3.33-6.67 kPa, the patients feel much more uncomfortable and the swelled signs appear, and 2 patients quit the experiment. CONCLUSIONS: The scar tissue perfusion is decreased obviously when adding the pressure to 3.33 kPa by using tension bandage. Using this method, the pressure should gradually increase to the maximum if patients can bear.

Objective To study the induction of integrin molecules mediated by CYR61 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC). Methods A recombinant expression plasmid containing full length of human CYR61 labeled with human IgG Fc fragment was constructed and identified by DNA sequencing.COS7 was used as host cell for identification of secretary CYR61 expression,confirmed by Western blot method.The commercial lipofectin was adopted for recombinant plasmid transfection into PBMC.Real-time PCR was ultilized to analyze expression patterns of CYR61 and integrin molecules in transfected PBMC. Results The insert sequence was correct in the recombinant plasmid.Western blot test showed that CYR61 protein secreted into culture supernatant or was in COS7 cytoplasm.The recombinant plasmid was transfected into PBMC stimulated with phytohemagglutinine(PHA) to induce CYR61 expression and secretion.The results demonstrated that exogenous CYR61 transcribed rapidly after being incubated with PHA and reached the peak after 24 h.But the expression dropped down quickly to a very low level after 48 h.Simultaneously,integrin molecules expressed just after CYR61 transcription.In the set of integrin molecules tested in the study,?v,?M,?3 and ?5 expression were higher than the other integrin molecules(P

Objective: To evaluate the efifcacy and safety on clopidogrel combining proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for treating the patient after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by Meta analysis.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and conference databanks, the retrieval time ended at 2014-03 and 14 references were selected for Meta analysis by RevMan 5.2 software. A total of 52274 patients were enrolled and divided into 2 groups, Control group, the patients received clopidogrel, n=43809 and Combination group, the patients received clopidogrel and PPI n=8465. The efifcacy and safety were compared between 2 groups.
Results: Compared with Control group, the patients in Combination group showed increased all cause death rate (OR=1.20, 95% CI 1.05-1.37), re-myocardial infarction (MI) (OR=1.19, 95% CI 1.07-1.33) and in-steut re-vascularization (OR=1.22, 95% CI 1.08-1.39), all P<0.05; while the MACE (OR=1.29, 95% CI 0.98-1.69), in-stent thrombosis (OR=1.22, 95% CI 0.97-1.54) and gastro- intestinal bleeding (OR=0.95, 95% CI 0.55-1.67) were similar between 2 groups, all P>0.05. Further analysis found that PPI (such as omeprazole and esomeprazole) could compete the CYP2C19 enzyme location of clopidogrel, increase the risk of cardiovascular events and decrease the gastrointestinal protection.
Conclusion: Clopidogrel combining PPI may increase the risk of all cause death, MI, in-stent revascularization and decrease the gastrointestinal protection in patients after PCI, especially for omeprazole and esomeprazole which may compete the CYP2C19 enzyme location of clopidogrel.
