Objective To study the small intestinal absorption patterns of glimepiride in rats. Methods A rat model of small intestinal absorption in vivo was employed in this study. The small intestinal absorption rate of glimepiride was detected by high performance liquid chromatography. Results At the low and high concentrations of glimepiride, the average small intestinal absorption rates were 0.233 6 h -1 and 0.217 8 h -1 , respectively. Conclusion The small intestinal absorption pattern of glimepiride might be passive diffusion.

Objective To explore the early clinical characteristics of multiple system atrophy (MSA) in the elderly,and provide the basis for early diagnosis.Methods Totally 102 cases with probable MSA in elderly patients were retrospectively analyzed to understand the beginning symptom,clinical features and assistant examination results,combined with the literature review.Results Among the 102 cases diagnosed as probable MSA (61 cases were male and 41 cases were female),57cases (55.9％) were diagnosed as parkinsonism dominant MSA (MSA-P) subtype and 45 cases (44.1％) as cerebellar dominant MSA (MSA-C)subtype.In the beginning symptom,27 cases appeared autonomic dysfunction,including 15 cases (26.3％) in MSA P subtype and 12 cases (26.6％) MSA-C subtype; 14 cases manifested as dysuresia,11 cases as orthostatic hypotension,and 8 cases as sexual dysfunction.Parkinsonism as the beginning symptom was in 49 cases,among whom 24 cases were of abnormal gait,3 cases of resting tremor,16 cases of muscle rigidity,and 15 cases of slowed movement.Cerebellar symptoms as the beginning symptom were in 33 cases,with gait and limb ataxia of 27 cases,dysarthria of 6 cases,nystagmus of 2 cases.Pyramidal tract signs as the beginning symptom were in 2 cases.There was early misdiagnosis of 36 cases (35.3％).Conclusions As wide variety of early clinical features,MSA can be easily misdiagnosed.The clinical features and assistant examination should be paid attention to improvement of the accuracy of early diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of the gram positive bacteria isolates from hospital in Chongqing during 2006-2011 .Methods Non-repetitive gram positive bacterias were collected retrospectively from ten hospitals in Chongqing .Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of all clinical isolates were carried out using Kirby-Bauer(KB) .Results 14 473 strains were isolated .There were 4 840 strains of Staphylococcus aureus (33 .4% ) ,2 566 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis (17 .7% ) ,1 822 strains of Staphylococcus haemolyticus (12 .6% ) ,1 325 strains of Enterococcus (E .faecalis/E .faecium )(9 .2% ) . Staphylococcus was highly sensitive to nitrofurantoin ,rifampicin ,piperacillin/tazobactam ,linezolid ,teicoplanin and vancomycin ,but their resistance rate to ampicillin/sulbactam ,oxacillin ,penicillin and clarithromycin was high .The resistance rate of E .faecium to the majority of antimicrobial agents was obviously higher than that of E .faecalis ,excluding imipenem ,chloramphenicol and tetracy-cline .Vancomycin and linezolid still remain the strongest antibacterial activity to Enterococcus .Conclusion The distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in Chongqing present regional particularity ,and antibiotic resistance is severe .It is significant to strengthen the epidemiology study of pathogenic bacteria and to develop policies to intervene in the use of antimicrobial agents .

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum M-type phospholipase A2 receptor(PLA2R) antibody detection for the diagnosis of idiopathic membranous nephropathy(IMN) by meta analysis.Methods By searching the databases of PubMed,Emabse,Wanfang and CNKI from inception to May,2017,all the literatures referred to serum PLA2R antibody for the diagnosis of IMN in both English and Chinese were reviewed and selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.QUADAS was used to assess the quality of eligible studies.Meta-disc 1.4 was used to analyze heterogeneity and pooled effectsize and Stata 12.0 was used to analyze publication bias.Results A total of 20 studies with high quality were included.Heterogeneity test indicated there was no threshold effect.The pooled sensitivity was 0.69 (95 ％ CI:0.67 to 0.72),the pooled specificity was 0.97 (95 ％ CI:0.96 to 0.98) and the summary area under curve was 0.880.Sensitivity analysis indicated that the result was stable.Deek's funnel plot indicated there was no publication bias.Conclusion The sensitivity of detection of serum PLA2R antibody was acceptable for the diagnosis of IMN with high specificity,so more attention on PLA2R antibody should be paid in the clinical practice.

Objective To synthesize glycylproline p-nitroanilide tosylate as a substrate for glycylprolyl dipeptidyl-aminopeptidase(GPDA),and to study its clinical application.Methods The title compound was prepared by DCC-HOBt synthesis.GPDA in human serum was detected by continuous monitoring method using substrate. Results The substrate with purity of 98.5% was obtained.The linearity of the method was up to 358.1 U/L.Intraassay CV and interassay CV of GPDA in diverse serum samples were 3.01% and 5.04%,respectively.It was shown that GPDA level in patients with hepatic cancer was significantly increased,while those in patients with gastric carcinoma and chronic gastritis were significantly decreased compared with that in the control group in clinical detecting(P

Objective:To observe therapeutic effect of ambrisentan on Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) .Methods:A total of 79 ES patients ,who hospitalized in Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital from Apr 2011 to Mar 2014 ,were divided into ambrisentan group (n=38 ,received digoxin combined ambrisentan treatment) and routine treatment group (n=41 , received digoxin treatment) ,and both groups were treated for 12 weeks .The 6min walking distance (6MWD) , WHO functional class (WHO FC) of pulmonary hypertension etc .were observed in both groups before and 12-week after treatment .Changes of hemodynamic parameters ,including mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) ,total pulmonary resistance (TPR) and ratio of pulmonary circulating flow to system circulating flow (Qp/Qs) etc .,were observed in ambrisentan group before and after treatment . Results:Compared with before treatment , after 12 weeks ,6MWD significantly rose ,TPR significantly reduced ,Qp/Qs significantly increased and WHO FC signifi-cantly improved in ambrisentan group ,P<0.05 or <0.01. Compared with routine treatment group after 12 weeks , there was significant rise in 6MWD [ (356.8 ± 74.1) m vs .(393.7 ± 69.2) m] ,significant reduction in BNP level [(832.5 ± 422.2) ng/L vs .(646.6 ± 297.1) ng/L] and significant improvement in WHO FC (class I/II ,67.5% vs . 86.8% ) in ambrisentan group ,P<0.05 or <0.01. No patient died ,the adverse reactions were mild in ambrisentan group ;one case died in routine treatment group .Conclusion:Oral ambrisentan can significantly improve heart func-tion and exercise capacity in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome ,and it possesses good safety and tolerance .

Methods HPLC was used to measure the content of arctinin, and the adsorption performance and the elution parameters were investigated. Results The optimal separation conditions were as follows: the concentration of Arctinin was 5.5 mg/ml with a flow rate of 2 BV/h, and 50% alcohol was used as eluant. The adsorption of Arctinin was 52.08 mg/g, and the elution ratio of arctinin was 93.8%, and the purity of arctinin reached 65.2%. Conclusion AB-8 resin can be used to refine the arctinin in the extraction of Fructus arctii.
