To compare the pharmacokinetics of syringin, eleutheroside E and isofraxidin after intravenous administration of each monomer and Ciwujia injection. Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups and intravenously administrated with syringin, eleutheroside E, isofraxidin, and Ciwujia injection, respectively. The concentrations of the three components in rat plasma were determined by LC-MS/MS. DAS 2.0 software was applied to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters while the SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Significant difference (P < 0.05) was found between each monomer and the injection on the main pharmacokinetic parameters such as AUC, CL and t1,/2. Compared with the injection, the group treated with the syringin has obvious decrease in AUC, and increase in CL while the group treated with eleutheroside E has obvious increase in AUC, and decrease in CL The t1/2 of isofraxidin was prolonged in Ciwujia injection. Pharmacokinetic characters of the ingredients in the injection varied greatly from the monomer. Other constituents in the injection may have an impact on the pharmacokinetic profiles of these three components.

To establish a method for the determination of cucurbitacin in plasma samples, in order to study the in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics of cucurbitacin in rats. Rats were intravenously injected with cucurbitacin. With diphenhydramine as the internal standard (IS), the plasma concentrations of cucurbitacin in rat plasma at different time points were determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). With electrospray ionization source, the positive ion detection in the multiple reaction monitoring mode was conducted to determine the ion-pairs for target compound and IS were m/z 503.2/113.1 and m/z 256.0/167.2, respectively. Agilent ZOBAX SB-C18 column (2.1 mm x 50 mm, 1.8 microm) was adopted and eluted with methanol and 0.1% formic acid (55:45), and the flow rate was 0.2 mL x min(-1). DAS 2.0 software was applied to fit the blood concentration and calculate corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters. The rats were intravenously injected with cucurbitacin at the concentration of 3.0 mg x kg(-1). The target blood quality concentration show good linear relations within the range of 10.5-3 150 microg x L(-1) (R2 = 0.996), the lower limit of the standard curve was 10.5 microg x L(-1), and the signal to noise ratio S/N = 12. Intra- and inter-day precisions RSD was less than 6.9% and 14%, respectively; The accuracy RE ranged between 0.20% and 3.7%; The extraction recoveries ranged between 92.7% and 97.1%. Regarding the pharmacokinetic parameters of tail intravenous injection of cucurbitacin, AUC (0-t) was (811.615 +/- 111.578) microg x h x L(-1), (t1/2) was (1.285 +/- 1.390) h, CL was (3.627 +/- 0.487) L x h x kg(-1), and V(d) was (6.721 +/- 7.429) L x kg(-1). In this study, researchers established a simple, accurate, sensitive and highly specific method for determining the blood concentration of cucurbitacin, and reported the in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics of cucurbitacin in rats for the first time.

In order to elucidate the expression and molecular genetic background of ABO gene seven samples with ABO discrepancy further identified as bi-specific ABO gene were studied. All these samples were subjected to phenotyping by monoclonal and polyclonal antisera and were then genotyped by direct DNA sequencing and haplotype-sequencing at the exon 6 and 7 of ABO gene. As a result, six ABO dual-specific alleles were identified in Chinese population. An antigen expressed by these B (A) or Cis-AB individuals varied from very low level to the normal level, compared with common A blood group samples. In conclusion, molecular genetic backgrounds of two pairs out of four samples in all samples were the same, however, the ABO expression showed diverse.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of the treatment of congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (CHPS) with endoscopic pyloromyotomy.
METHODNine consecutive infants (7 boys, 2 girls; age range 26 - 70 days; weight range 2.65 - 6.10 kg), with a diagnosis of CHPS according to typical clinical manifestations, transabdominal ultrasound (US), gastroenterography and gastroscope. All the cases had accompanying malnutrition, anaemia, metabolic alkalosis, and some were complicated with congenital heart disease. In gastroscope operating room, all the patients were given pentobarbital and midazolam intravenously. A gastroscope with an outer diameter of 5.9 mm was passed through mouth, stomach, pylorus to the descending segment of duodenum. Under gastroscopy, two incisions were made along the anterior and posterior wall of pylorus from the duodenal bulb to the antrum by using endoscopic electrosurgical needle knife and an arch sphincter sarcosome. Incisions were deepened by 2 to 3 procedures until the longitudinal muscle was exposed, about 2 to 4 mm according to transabdominal US performed before operation. The incision depth was 2 - 3 mm if pylorus wall was 4 - 6 mm in thickness; or 3 - 4 mm when the wall was thicker than 6 mm.
RESULTThe endoscope was easily passed through the pylorus to the duodenum post-operation. The transabdominal US and gastroenterography showed that liquid easily flew through pylorus. All patients were able to have regular feeding about 2 to 10 hours after the operation. Vomiting in all patients was significantly decreased in frequency and amount, and in 8 infants vomiting stopped within 1 week, in one case it did not stop until 1 month after the treatment. Some cases showed slight adverse reaction, no perforation or massive haemorrhage in stomach or intestines occurred in any of the patients during and post-operation. Eight infants were doing well at follow-up (range 2 to 9 months). One girl had recurred vomiting at normal feeding after a period of 1 month postoperation without vomiting. This case was cured by second endoscopic pyloromyotomy.
CONCLUSIONSEndoscopic pyloromyotomy is effective, safe, simple, and offers several advantages: no need for open-abdomen surgery, feeding can be initiated rapidly.

And 80 healthy people were divided into control group. The relative hormonal level of three groups were detected, and the correlation between appearance of MRI and insufficient hormonal type, amount and severity degree were analyzed.Results: In part of pituitary stalk interruption group, the heights of anterior pituitary gland were less than 3mm in 10 cases, and they were between 3-5mm in 23 cases and they were more than 5mm in 5 cases. And in them, there were 4 cases were posterior pituitary deficiency, 15 cases were heterotopia, 11 cases were volume diminished. In complete pituitary stalk interruption group, the heights of anterior pituitary gland were less than 3mm in 23 cases, and they were between 3-5mm in 16 cases and they were more than 5mm in 3 cases. And in them, there were 8 cases were posterior pituitary deficiency, 32 cases were heterotopia, 1 cases were volume diminished. All of the hormonal levels included growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor, free thyroxine, serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), cortisol and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) in complete pituitary stalk interruption group were significantly lower than that in part of pituitary stalk interruption group and control group (F=224.92,F=2571.80, F=369.50,F=67.73,F=2677.94,F=24.17,P<0.05), respectively. The differences of growth hormone, TSH, cortisol and ACTH, excepted insulin-like growth factor and free thyroxine, between part of pituitary stalk interruption group and control group were not significant. And pituitary-gonadal hormones level of part of pituitary stalk interruption group was significantly lower than that of control group (F=354.94,F=247.00, F=247.83,F=655.05,F=48.10,P<0.05). Besides, the differences of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, testosterone and prolactin levels between part of pituitary stalk interruption group and complete pituitary stalk interruption group were no significant.Conclusion: Enhanced MRI of pituitary can effectively diagnose pituitary stalk interruption syndrome and damage degree of pituitary target gland function.

OBJECTIVE:
To develop a self-administered risk questionnaire for common nutrition-related diseases in middle school students.
METHODS:
Two phases were conducted to develop the questionnaire: scale development and validation. Phase 1 included 7 steps: (1) determining the objective, theoretical framework, principles and format for indicator generation; (2) setting up the preliminary indicator pool; (3) selecting indicators and forming pilot questionnaire through focus groups; (4) testing the pilot questionnaire; (5) further correcting the questionnaire using expert consultation; (6) choosing indicators again using good-poor analysis; and (7) shaping the final questionnaire. Phase 2 consisted of: (1) using the Pearson correlation coefficient to assess test-retest reliability; (2) using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient to assess the internal consistency reliability; (3) using the feedback from field investigation to assess face validity; and (4) using explanatory factor analysis to assess construct validity. Students from 96 classes were selected at random in Hunan Province as the field test samples using stratified sampling and cluster sampling. And the students from 4 out of the 96 classes were chosen again to serve as the test-retest samples. We used Epidata 3.0 to build the database and SPSS 11.0 to analyze the data.
RESULTS:
A brief self-administered risk questionnaire for common nutrition-related diseases in middle school students with 12 items being formed after Phase 1. Good-poor analysis showed results from t tests for each item were statistically significant (P<0.05). The Pearson correlation coefficient was 0.76 (P<0.05) and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.56. The questionnaire was accepted by the students participating in the field test. Four common factors were extracted using explanatory factor analysis, accounting for 50.18% of the total variation.
CONCLUSION
The brief self-administered risk questionnaire for common nutrition-related diseases in middle school students is reliable and valid.

OBJECTIVETo establish a reliable assay for cloning and sequencing the full-length HLA-Cw gene.
METHODSIn this study, a fragment of 4.5 kb full-length HLA-Cw gene was amplified using the self-designed PCR primer pair by long template PCR, purified PCR products was cloned into the pGEM-Teasy plasmid vector and the plasmid DNA isolated from positive clones was subjected to haplotype sequencing by both directions. A total of 12 samples having been previously-genotyped by PCR sequence-based-typing (PCR-SBT) were amplified by using the TaKaRa LA Taq and Stratagene Pfu polymerase, respectively. PCR products of full length HLA-Cw gene were subjected to cloning and sequencing and the obtained haplotype sequence were compared with the PCR-SBT results.
RESULTSThe specific target fragment of HLA-Cw gene could be amplified and the full-length HLA-Cw allele sequence covering from nucleotide position -962 in 5'untranslated region (5'-UTR) to nucleotide position 3576 in downstream area of 3'-UTR region could be obtained using our method. The results of cloning and sequencing analysis indicated that the Stratagene Pfu polymerase had better fidelity than the TaKaRa LA Taq polymerase in this experiment. By comparing the sequences of Cw*07020101 with Cw*010201, 11 SNPs as well as 2 insertions/deletions in nt-962--284 of 5'-UTR, and 11 SNPs as well as 1 insertion/deletion in nt3067-3576 downstream of 3'-UTR were identified.
CONCLUSIONOur results indicate that the technique for cloning and sequencing full-length HLA-Cw gene has been established, it has a broad application in full-length HLA-Cw gene polymorphism study and the regulation and expression of HLA-Cw gene.
