Objective To evaluate the effects of analytic variations in creatintine measurements on estimated glo -merular filtration rate (eGFR) and the classification of chronic kidney disease ( CKD).Methods A total of 13 157 patients, including inpatients, outpatients and health individual , were enrolled, whose creatinine range from upper reference limit (URL) -12% ×URL to URL +12% ×URL.There were 9 886 males and 3 271 fe-males with an age range of 20 ~89 years.The results of sCr incremented or decremented 4%, 8%, 12% and orig-inal results were divided into 7 groups.The effects of different degree of analytic variation in sCr measurement on eGFR and classification of CKD using eGFR were evaluated .Results When sCr was in the range of URL ±12%×URL, creatintine increased with age, on the contrary, eGFR decreased with age (P <0.05).The mean bias of the results of eGFR compared with the original results of eGFR was increased with the analytic variation of sCr . When the results of sCr had a reverse analytic bias of 12%, the results of eGFR had a forward bias of 16.73%. When sCr results had a forward analytic bias of 12%, the male patients in stage G3 (eGFR in 30 ~59 ml/min/1.73 m 2 ), according to the classification of CKD using eGFR, increased about 20%; while women in this stage could increase by nearly 30%.When sCr results had a reverse analytic bias of 12%, the percentage of female pa-tients in stage G3 could decrease from 38.65% to 10.42%; while male patients could decrease by 7%.Conclu-sion The analytic variation of creatinine change in laboratory testing tolerance range can cause large shift in the distribution of eGFR, which can cause change in the classification of patients .The correct eGFR report relies on the accurate detection of sCr.Routine reporting of eGFR alongside creatintine should pay attention to the detection accuracy of sCr.

A total of 306 fresh human serum samples were randomly selected. Alb concentrations were measured by bromcresol green ( BCG) method, modified bromcresol purple ( mBCP) method, and immunoturbidmetic assay ( ITA) , respectively. GA was measured by an enzymatic method. GA value was expressed as the percentage of GA in the total serum Alb [ GA%(%) =GA/Alb?100%] . When Alb≥40 g/L, the clinical differences between BCG and mBCP, BCG and ITA, and mBCP and ITA were not significant, and there was no statistical difference between GA% BCG and GA% mBCP(P=0. 537); when Alb<40 g/L, BCG had statistical difference between mBCP and ITA ( P<0. 01 ) , and GA% BCG was significantly lower than GA% mBCP ( P<0. 01 ) . No obvious clinical signifi-cance of Alb concentrations was observed measured by BCG, mBCP, and ITA when Alb≥40 g/L. There was no difference in different Alb methods for GA% calculation. When Alb<40 g/L, the consistency of mBCP and ITA was better than that of BCG and ITA, which indicated that mBCP method may be more suitable for the assay of gly-cated albumin value ( GA%) , whereas the GA% may be underestimated if using BCG method for the determination of Alb.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare mesopocous molecular sieve SBA-15 surface molecularly imprinted polymer (SBA-15@MIP),and analyze the application of SBA-15@MIP in the determination of active micro-component. METHODS:Using baica-lein as the template molecule,acrylamide(AM)as the function monomer,tetrahydrofuran/ethanol(3∶2,V/V)as the polymeriza-tion solvent,ethylene glycol dimethacrylate(EGDMA)as the cross-linker,and 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile(AIBN)as the initiator, SBA-15@MIP was synthesized on the surface of mesopocous molecular sieve SBA-15. The surface morphology and structure of the obtained polymer were characterized by TEM and FT-IR. Finally,the imprinted polymer was used as an adsorbent for solid-phase extraction (SPE) to detect baicalein in plasma samples by HPLC. RESULTS:It revealed that the well-ordered one-dimensional pore structure of SBA-15 was still preserved in the successful synthesized SBA-15@MIP,and baicalein molecule was imprinted suc-cessfully. The limit of detection(LOD)and limit of quantification(LOQ)for baicalein in plasma were 3.5 ng/ml and 11.6 ng/ml, respectively;the average recovery was 94.4%(RSD=2.9%). CONCLUSIONS:SBA-15@MIP is prepared successfully,and can be applied for the determination of active micro-component.

It is an urgent task to transform scientific research achievements on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) into standard for the science and technology workers of TCM. The transformation not only improves the level of TCM standard, but also promotes the scientific research achievement on TCM into productivity. The Medium and Long-Term Strategic Development Plan for TCM Standardization issued by the State Administration of TCM of the People's Republic of China put forward reinforcement of study on method for transformation of TCM scientific research achievement into standard. Thus, this paper presented seven steps for the transformation on the basis of the TCM Standardization Regulation (trial) in order to provide some references.

The MRI appearances of 7 adult patients with pathologically proven intracranial primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) were retrospectively analyzed. The MRI features were compared with findings in pathology and surgery. In this group, the tumor masses were most commonly found in the semisphere of cerebrum and in the vermis of cerebellum. They were relatively large and 4 were in lobulated shape. All of them had well-defined margins. MR images showed the tumors to be mildly or obviously hypointense on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images. Most masses had heterogeneous appearances with some cystic and necrotic areas. Intratumoral haemorrhage and focal calcification were occasionally seen. Mostly, there was no or only mild surrounding edema. Marked inhomogeneous contrast enhancement on MRI was seen in 6 cases except one. Two patients with multiple intracranial metastases were revealed on MR images. In this series, there was good correlation between MRI features and findings in pathology and surgery. These results showed that certain MRI features might suggest the diagnosis of intracranial PNET in adults. MRI is an effective technique to detect these tumors and is helpful to treatment planning and follow-up.

Curcumin is the main active component in turmeric, which possesses many pharmacologic effects, including anti-in-flammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-atherosclerosis, liver and kidney protection and so on. However, due to its poor bioavail-ability, its clinical application is limited. Therefore, the methods for improving the bioavailability of curcumin were reviewed by refer-ring to a large number of literatures. The bioavailability of curcumin can be improved by different administration routes and various dos-age forms. The review provides theoretical basis and research ideas for the development of new drugs.

Objective To develop an HPLC method for simultaneous determination of contents of asiaticoside, tetrahydropulmatine and saikosaponin d in Shenji Huwei Granules. Methods The analysis was performed on a R&C C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) by using the mobile phase of acetonitrile (A) - phosphate buffer (which used potassium dihydrogen phosphate 8.34 g, potassium phosphate 0.87 g dissolved by 1000 mL water) with gradient elution (0–15 min, 20％A; 15–30 min, 20％→40％A; 30–42 min, 40％A; 42–45 min, 40％→48％A; 45–50 min, 48％A; 50–70 min, 48％→50％A). The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min; the detection wavelength was set at 210 nm; the column temperature was maintained at 30 ℃. Results Asiaticoside, tetrahydropulmatine and saikosaponin d were in the linear ranges among 0.173–2.770 μg (r=0.9999), 0.021–1.320 μg (r=0.9992), 0.151–9.660 μg (r=0.9993), respectively. The average recovery rates of asiaticoside, tetrahydropulmatine, saikosaponin d were 96.25％, 97.02％, and 97.84％, respectively, and RSD were 2.31％, 4.51％, 1.87％, respectively. Conclusion This method is simple, with good separation effect and strong specificity, and can be used for simultaneous determination of contents of asiaticoside, tetrahydropulmatine and saikosaponin d in Shenji Huwei Granules, which provides references for perfection of quality control of Shenji Huwei Granules.

The amino acid sequences of the NP,P, M, F,HN and L proteins of the paramyxovirus Tianjin strain were analyzed by using the bioinformatics methods. Phylogenetic analysis based on 6 structural proteins among the Tianjin strain and 25 paramyxoviruses showed that the Tianjin strain belonged to the genus Respirovirus, in the subfamily Paramyxovirinae, and was most closely related to Sendal virus (SeV). Phylogenetic analysis with 14 known SeVs showed that Tianjin strain represented a new evolutionary lineage. Similarities comparisons indicated that Tianjin strain P protein was poorly conserved, sharing only 78.7%-91.9% amino acid identity with the known SeVs, while the L protein was the most conserved, having 96.0%-98.0% amino acid identity with the known SeVs. Alignments of amino acid sequences of 6 structural proteins clearly showed that Tianjin strain possessed many unique amino acid substitutions in their protein sequences, 15 in NP, 29 in P, 6 in M, 13 in F, 18 in HN, and 29 in L. These results revealed that Tianjin strain was most likely a new genotype of SeV. The presence of unique amino acid substitutions suggests that Tianjin strain maybe has a significant difference in biological, pathological, immunological, or epidemiological characteristics from the known SeVs.

Object To probe into the antihypertension activity mechanism of extracts from Compound Jueming (CJ). Methods The method of radioimmunoassay was used to assay the concentration of the related substances on spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) such as angiotensin Ⅱ (ANGⅡ), renin activity (RA), endothelin (ET), atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP), aldosterone (ALD), and urine. Results All of the three doses (9.5, 7.2, and 4.8 g/kg) of extracts from CJ reduced ANG Ⅱ and RA, but had no influence on ALD, ET, ANP, and urine in SHR. Conclusion The antihypertension effect of extracts from CJ is related to decreasing of renin angiotensin, but not to ALD, ET, ANP, and urine.
