Objective:To establish a quantification method for understanding the varieties and concentrational changes of fatty acids under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. Methods:Based on isobutyl esterification using (-)-menthyl chloroformate and isobutanol, 27 typical fatty acids were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detector/mass spectrometry (GC-FID/MS). The sensitivity and stability of the method were detected by limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantification (LOQ), and intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviation (RSD). The method was applied to four typical biological samples (human serum, urine, feces and rat liver) to verify the universality in different substrates. Results:Isobutyl esters of 27 fatty acids were effectively separated with an HP-5MS column. The results showed nice linearity within 2-3 orders of magnitude in terms of concentration with R2>0.99 for all 27 tested fatty acids. The LODs of the method were between 0.03 and 2.96 pmol on column whereas the LOQs were between 0.09 and 9.86 pmol. The results of method validation showed that the intra-day and inter-day RSDs were all under 10% in the range of high, medium and low concentrations. With this method, moreover, 10, 7, 14 and 9 fatty acids were detected in human serum, urine, feces and rat liver, respectively. Conclusion:A quantitative analytical method for fatty acids with short, media and long chains (C1-C24) is established based on isobutyl estrification in aqueous media. This method has the advantages of mild condition, high sensitivity, good stability, and simple and quick operation, and can be directly used in the detection of serum, urine, feces, liver and other biological samples, which may provide a new idea for high-throughput metabolome analysis.

OBJECTIVE To investigate drugresistance and clinical distribution characteristics of Staphylococcus strains isolated from inpatients.METHODS The meticillin-resistance and drug-resistance of the Staphylococcus strains isolated from the clinical specimens of the inpatients in our hospital between 2003 and 2005 were tested.RESULTS Totally 768 Staphylococcus strains were mainly isolated from sputum,blood,pus and wound secretion.The main clinical wards were from pediatrics,ICU,tumor chemotherapy departments.The age of these inpatients were mainly over 60 years old(48.7%) and less than 13 years old(33.2%).Two hundred and ninetyStaphylococcus aureus strains(37.8%)and 478 coagulase-negative Staphylococcus strains(62.2%)were included.The isolated rates of meticillin-resistant S.aureus and meticillin-resistant coagulasenegative Staphylococcus were 74.8% and 89.1%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS Infections of Staphylococcus are increased year by year among inpatients.There are high rates of meticillin-resistant strains.It is very important to monitor infections of Staphylococcus,to control the source of infections,to interrupt their spread and to protect impressionable inpatients,in order to prevent infections of Staphylococcus actively.

Objective To study the relationship between polymorphism of NAT2 gene and the susceptibility of osteosarcoma. Methods Using serum samples of patients with osteosarcoma , NAT2 gene polymorphism was determined by PCR-RFLP to observe M1, M2 and M3 mutant genes, NAT2 genotype and allele distribution. Slow acetylation and rapid acetylation genotype between groups in the distribution were also detected. Moreover , the relationship between the clinical characteristics of osteosarcoma and NAT2 genetic polymorphism were analyzed. Results From January 2010 to September 2015, 126 patients with osteosarcoma were enrolled as a case group, and 119 healthy persons in the same period were as the control group. In the control group, the frequency of NAT2 genotype (homozygous wild type (wt/wt and miscellaneous synthetic mutant WT/ MX, homozygous mutant MX/MX) were 30.95%, 50.79% and 18.25% respectively; In the experimental group were 47.06%, 46.22% and 6.72% respectively. The frequency of the two groups was statistically significant (P <0.05). Rapid NAT2 acetylator genotype of suffering from the risk of osteosarcoma 1.782 times slow acetylation genotype (P < 0.05). Compared to rapid acetylation genotype patients with osteosarcoma, slow acetylation genotype patients has smaller tumor volume (P = 0.008),lower differentiation degree of tumor (P = 0.011) and less occurrence of distant metastasis (P = 0.001). Conclusion The rapid acetylation genotype of NAT2 gene may be a risk factor for osteosarcoma.
