In this study, based on its enhancement effect on resonance light scattering (RLS) of fluorosurfactant (FSN)-capped gold nanoparticles (GNPs), we reported a simple approach for the rapid sensing of captopril. Under optimum conditions, the lowest detectable concentration of captopril through this approach (S/N=3) was 0.01μg/mL. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 0.08-4.0μg/mL for the detection of captopril. The recoveries of captopril were found to fall in the range between 99% and 100%. We have validated the applicability of our method through the analyses of captopril in pharmaceutical formulations. Good agreements were obtained for the determination of captopril between the present approach and official method.

AIM: To compare and contrast different operation after cataract patients with refractive change rules. To analyze the patients with refractive stability after cataract surgery, and to provide a reference for cataract patients with clinical surgery after visual quality.
●METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 126 cases (150 eyes) were selected from Jan. 2014 to Dec. 2015 in Changzhou First People′s Hospital of cataract extraction combined with foldable intraocular lens implantation for cataract patients as the research samples. According to the different operation for three groups, the first group of 42 patients ( 50 eyes ) underwent above 3 mm clear corneal incision;52 cases in group 2 (60 eyes) underwent temporal side 3 mm clear corneal incision. The third group, 32 cases (40 eyes) underwent 3 corner above the scleral tunnel incision. All the cases were measured at different time point in patients with naked eyes far visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, spherical degree, the degree of astigmatism and astigmatic axial, comparative analysis of after cataract surgery in patients with refractive change regularity and stability of refraction.
●RESULTS: The uncorrected distance visual comparison within the group, and each time point after preoperative differences were significant ( P< 0. 01 ), and the early postoperative period after 1, 3mo significantly different (P<0. 05). Three groups of patients after surgery compared with preoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity improved significantly, and were stable after 1mo. Compare the best corrected distance vision within the group, and each time point after preoperative differences were significant (P<0. 01), postoperative 1wk and after 1, 3d significantly different (P<0. 05), after 1wk and after 1, 3mo was not significantly different ( P > 0. 05 ), three groups of patients were compared with the preoperative best corrected distance visual acuity were increased significantly, and were in stable after 1wk; relatively spherical degree within the array, after 1d and 3d was not significantly different (P>0. 05), hyperopia drift, after 1wk and 1, 3d was significantly different (P<0. 05), after 1wk and 1, 3mo was not significantly different ( P>0. 05 ). Three groups of patients′spherical degrees after 1wk were stabilized. Comparative degree of astigmatism within the array, postoperative compared with preoperative corneal astigmatism were increased 1d after surgery. Corneal astigmatism in each group reached the maximum, and then decreases 1wk and 1d after surgery, compared with postoperative 3d was significantly different ( P<0. 05 ). After 1wk and 1, 3mo was not significantly different ( P>0. 05 ) . Three groups of patients were compared with preoperative astigmatism were significantly increased, and in operation after 1wk were stabilized;astigmatic axis were three groups in the preoperative astigmatism against the rule, the first and third group after 1d, three Tianshun rule astigmatism proportional were increased, and then decreased. Group 2 the- rule astigmatism proportion, after 1wk, 1 and 3mo, the first and third group gradually reduced the proportion of cis regulatory astigmatism, and compared with preoperative increased, increasing the-rule astigmatism group 2 ratio, and increased compared with preoperative.

Objective To establish a system for detecting integration frequency of antibiotic resist-ante integron.Methods We cloned integron and aadA2 gene cassette into different sites of plasmid pACYC 184,and the plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3)containing plasmid overexpressing integrase.The positive clone was cultured overnight and then was spread on LB agar plate with or without streptomycin respectively,and with appropriate amount of bacteria.Clones after cultured overnight were counted to detect the integration frequency.Meanwhile we used positive clones in LB agar plate containing streptomycin as templates to carry out PCR.The purified PCR products were sequenced to identify the integration sites.Re-suits The integration frequency of integron capturing aadA2 gene cassette in BL21(DE3) host was 1.1 x 10-3 mainly at attI site.Conclusion This system can be used to detect integration frequency.

Objective To use numerical simulation technology for analyzing the hemodynamic and morphological factors for rupture status of posterior communicating artery aneurysms. Methods A total of 39 posterior communicating artery aneurysms treated in Changhai Hospital were recruited in the present study during January to December 2011, and they included 28 ruptured and 11 unruptured ones. The 3-dimensional model of the aneurysms were constructed, and the digital subtraction angiography data were obtained. Then the hemodynamic analysis of the aneurysms was done using the method of computational fluid dynamics. Results The aspect ratio (AR) was 1. 233±0. 483 in the ruptured group, which was significantly higher than that in unruptured group (0. 832±0. 252, P = 0. 002). The normalized mean wall shear stress (WSS) was significantly lower in ruptured group than in unruptured group (0. 545±0. 259 vs 0. 761±0. 216, P = 0. 015). And the percentage of the low WSS area (LSA) in ruptured group was significantly higher than that in unruptured group ([11. 669±16. 041]% vs [1. 236±2. 212]%, P=0. 040). Other parameters, including size ratio (SR) and oscillatory shear index (OSI), showed no significant differences, between the two groups. Conclusion Higher AR, lower WSS and higher LSA may be risk factors for aneurysmal rupture.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Tubridge and Pipeline embolization devices in the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms. Methods The clinical data of 99 patients harboring 101 complex intracranial aneurysms, who underwent embolization device treatment between Aug. 2010 and Dec. 2017 in our department, were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Among them, 91 aneurysms were treated for the first time and 10 were recurrent lesions. The mean maximum diameter of the aneurysms was (19.6±6.6) mm. Ninety-four lesions were located in anterior circulation and 7 in posterior circulation. Sixty-one aneurysms of 61 patients were treated with Tubridge embolization device, and 40 of 38 patients were treated with Pipeline embolization device. Clinical and angiographic follow-up were preformed conventionally. Results A total of 116 embolization devices (74 Tubridge and 42 Pipeline) were delivered and implanted successfully. One patient died of delayed hemorrhage, and 2 patients suffered from ischemic events after operation. Angiographic follow-up data was available in 88 aneurysms. The complete occlusion rates of short-term (0-6 months), mid-term (7-18 months) and longterm (>18 months) were 66.7% (42/63), 73.5% (36/49) and 89.3% (25/28), respectively. The complete occlusion rate of all aneurysms was 72.7% (64/88) at the last imaging follow-up, and there was no significant difference between the Tubridge and Pipeline groups (73.6% [39/53] vs 71.4% [25/35], P>0.05). Conclusion Both Tubridge and Pipeline embolization devices are safe and effective in treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms. However, the complications shall not be ignored after implantation of embolization device.

Objective To examine the effects of the MEK inhibitor on human pancreatic cancer cells, and to explore the molecular mechanisms. Methods Human pancreatic cancer cell lines CFPANC1, PANC1 and MiaPaCa2 were treated with MEK inhibitor PD98059 or DMSO, the sensitivity was analyzed by an MTT assay, and cell cycle distribution was evaluated by flow cytometry( FCM), The transcriptional level and protein expression of tumor suppressor genes were detected by real-time RT-PCR and western blot respectively. DNA methyltransferase (Dnmt)1, 3a and 3b were also assayed by western blot, The methylation status of the promoter of the p16INK4A gene was assayed by methylation-specific PCR (MSP). Results PD98059 inhibited to various degrees the growth of three pancreatic cancer cell lines, accompanied by G0-G1 cell cycle arrest. PD98059 up-regulated the expression of p16INK4a, p21WAF1, p27KIP1 mRNA, demethylated the hypermethylation status of p16INK4a gene promoter, and decreased Dnmtl and Dnmt3b in CFPANC1 and PANC1 cell lines. PD98059 only increased the expression of p27KIP1, while the changes of p16INK4a, p21WAF1 and Dnmt were less marked in MiaPaCa2 cell line. Conclusions MEK inhibitor PD98059 down-regulate the activation of Dnmt and up-regulate tumor supress genes, along with the inhibition of cell proliferation and cell cycle progression.

LC-MS/MS method was used to simultaneously determine anti-oxidative active catechins EGCG, ECG, EGC and EC in plasma of rats treated with tea polyphenols (TP). The integrated plasma concentration (C') of TP was calculated by means of self-defined weighing coefficient based on percent AUC of individual components, thereby assessing integrated pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of TP via log C'-T curve. The anti-free radical effects of TP were estimated using inhibitory rate of drug-containing serum collected at different times from rats against in vitro lipid peroxidation of mouse liver homogenate. The obtained E-T curves were used to calculate anti-free radical pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of TP. E-logC and E-log C' plots and linear regression were carried out in order to obtain the correlation coefficient (R2). The results indicated that the log C'-T curves of TP, which could be best described by three-compartment model, corresponded to elimination rule of iv administration of drugs. The integrated PK parameters showed that TP was distributed in body rapidly and widely, and eliminated from deep compartment slowly. From comparison of R2 values and consistence of C'-T course and E-T course, it was evident that TP integrated PK behaviors correlated much better with its PD behaviors than individual active components, and thus demonstrated that integrated PK parameters could characterize to maximal extent holistic disposition of Chinese herbal drugs and reflect residence properties of holistic effective substances in biological body.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of comprehensive assessment of the whole aorta and coronary arteries (CA) simultaneously with high-pitch 128-slice dual-source CT ECG-gated FLASH protocol.Methods A total of 48 consecutive patients with suspected aortic diseases underwent CTA examination of the whole aorta and CA using a ECG-gated FLASH CT protocol (pitch =3.2) without heart rate (HR) control.Aorta,aortic valves and CA were shown with different post-processing modalities.The image quality of the aorta,aortic valves and CA was evaluated and compared according to HR (low HR group ≤ 65 bpm,high HR group ＞ 65 bpm).The scan time,effective dose and contrast medium volume were recorded.Inter-observer differences were calculated by Kappa test.Differences between groups were analyzed by Mann-Whitney test with count data and variance test with measurement data.Results All examinations were completed successfully.The image quality was acceptable in the aorta,aortic valve (100％,48/48) and CA (94.0％,551/586).Percentage of diagnostic quality images was slightly higher in low HR group (94.7％,232/245,93.5％,319/341,Z =-2.504,P ＜ 0.05).Inter-reader reproducibility was 95.8％ (46/48) in the aorta and aortic valve,96.6％ (566/586) in CA,yielded good agreement (Kappa =0.81 and 0.89).The mean attenuation of aorta and CA were higher than 300 HU,especially in low HR group (357.0-446.0) HU.Except proximal segment of right CA,the CNR of whole aorta and coronary arteries were significantly higher in the low HR group (24.5-29.0) than that in the high HR group (20.0-23.1,P ＜0.05).SNR of the whole aorta was higher in the low HR group (13.7-17.9) than the high HR group (11.5-13.9,P ＜ 0.05).The mean scan time was (1.56 ± 0.08) s,effective dose was (4.12 ± 1.23) mSv (2.77-6.77 mSv),and contrast medium volume was (72.8 ± 2.1) ml.Conclusions CT angiography of whole aorta and coronary arteries could be performed simultaueously within 2 seconds with CT ECG-gated FLASH protocol.The images were of diagnostic quality for aortic and CA disease with low dose of radiation and contrast media.However,high HR could decrease the image quality of CA.
