BACKGROUND:Compared with organic fluorescent dyes and fluorescent proteins, rare earth nanomaterials have higher sensitivity, better optical stability, and lower cytotoxicity. OBJECTIVE: To investigate thein vitro cytocompatibility of (Y0.95Eu0.05)2O3 METHODS:(Y rare earth nanomaterial and the effect of amine functionalization on the material cytocompatibility. 0.95Eu0.05)2O3 nanomaterials were synthesized using sol-gel method, and underwent amine functionalization. Amine-functionalized samples (10, 25, 50, 100, 200 mg/L) and non-amine-functionalized (Y0.95Eu0.05)2O3 rare earth nanomaterial suspensions were co-cultured with vascular smooth muscle cels of Sprague-Dawley rats for 3 days. Cel proliferation was detected using Cel Counting Kit-8 assay. 100 mg/L amine-functionalized samples and non-amine-functionalized (Y0.95Eu0.05)2O3 rare earth nanomaterial suspensions were co-cultured with L929 cels for 48 hours. Cel apoptosis was observed using fluorescence staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:With increased mass concentration of material suspension, survival rate of vascular smooth muscle cels was gradualy reduced. At the mass concentration of 10, 25, 50 mg/L, cel survival rate was significantly higher in the amine-functionalized group than in the non-amine-functionalized group (P < 0.05). When the mass concentration of materials reached 200 mg/L, the cel survival rate decreased to 76% in the non-amine-functionalized group, but it was stil above 80% in the amine-functionalized group, showing significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05). The growth of L929 cels was good and the number of apoptotic cels was less in the amine-functionalized group. Cels were sparse and the number of cel apoptosis was more in the non-amine-functionalized group, showing slight cytotoxicity. These data verified that amine-functionalization can improve cytocompatibility of (Y0.95Eu0.05)2O3 rare earth nanomaterial.

OBJECTIVE To establish the method for the content determination of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural （5-HMF） in glucosamine hydrochloride tablets， and to analyze its regularity and influential factors. METHODS Quantitative analysis of 5-HMF was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography. The analysis was conducted on Shim-pack GIST C18-AQ column with mobile phase consisted of 0.1% phosphoric acid solution-methanol （90∶10， V/V） at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃， and detection wavelength was 284 nm. The injection volume was 20 μL. Reaction kinetics test of different temperatures was adopted to analyze the relationship of 5-HMF content with reaction temperature and reaction time， and utilized to build its formation kinetic model. RESULTS The linger range of 5-HMF was 0.057-5.698 μg/mL （r＝0.999 9）. The limits of detection and quantitation were 5.70 and 17.09 ng/mL； RSDs of precision， repeatability and stability （24 h） tests were all lower than 1.0% （n＝6）. The average recoveries ranged from 99.38% to 99.73%（RSD＝0.53%， n＝9）. The contents of the 5-HMF in 8 batches of samples ranged 4.10-35.13 μg/g. Results of data fitting in reaction kinetics test showed that the higher reaction temperature and the longer reaction time， the higher 5-HMF content in the sample. At 50， 60， 70 and 80 ℃ ， the relationship between the content of 5-HMF and the reaction time was linear， in accordance with a zero-order kinetic model. The reaction rate constants were 6.789， 7.715， 8.815 and 11.430， respectively. CONCLUSIONS The established method has strong specificity， high sensitivity， and good accuracy； the reaction temperature and reaction time are important influential factors for the formation of 5-HMF in glucosamine hydrochloride tables. The change rule of its content conforms to the zero-order kinetic model.
