Objective:To establish the drug release determination conditions and method for methylphenidate hydrochloride bipolar controlled release osmotic pump tablets. Methods: The drug release of the tablets was determined by HPLC using a Diamonsil C18 (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) column with acetonitrile-KH2 PO4 (0. 02 mol·L-1 ,and pH was adjusted to 3. 0 by 1% H3 PO4 solution) (30∶ 70) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 ml·min-1 , the column temperature was 35 ℃ and the injection volume was 20 μl. The effects of release medium, release apparatus and rotation speed on the release of methylphenidate hydrochloride bipolar controlled release osmotic pump tablets were studied as well. Results:The established drug release determination method had a good linear rela-tionship within the range of 1. 0-24. 0 μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 5), and the average recovery was 100. 5%(RSD=1. 58%, n = 6). Un-der the conditions of 900 ml pH 3. 0 phosphate buffer solution as the release medium and the rotation speed of 50 r·min-1 , the drug was quickly released in 0-2h, and then the release behavior was complied with a zero-level model in vitro in 2-10h with the release e-quation of Q=5. 505t+44. 221(r=0. 994 5). Conclusion:The method is simple, accurate and reliable, and suitable for the quality control of methylphenidate hydrochloride bipolar controlled release osmotic pump tablets.

Long-term medical education program requires that the medical students should ac-quire both professional knowledge and scientific research ability. These students,with heavy task and course,have difficulty in performing the scientific research systematically. It is very important to develop the early scientific research training. Department of pathology in Central South University,took early sci-entific research activities in various forms,such as literature searching,reviews writing,research design-ing,experiment performing,lecture communicating and clinical practicing after combining the discipline characteristic and arranging the overall process. Satisfactory effects were achieved with efforts.

Objective To investigate the impact of peritoneal albumin leakage on malnutrition-inflammation-atherosclerosis (MIA) syndrome in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Methods A cross-sectional study of a cohort of 130 CAPD patients without edema or active infection was performed. In order to identify peritoneal transport characteristics in CAPD patients, a standard peritoneal equilibration test (PET) was carried out. For malnutrition and inflammation, serum albumin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were measured. Mean-carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) was used to determine atherosclerosis. Residual glomerular filtration rate (rGFR) was defined as the average of 24-hour urinary urea and creatinine clearances. Results Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis showed that peritoneal albumin leakage amount was positively correlated with age, body mass index, night dwell time, blood glucose, 4 h D/P creatinine levels and hs-CRP levels (r=0.204, P<0.05 ;r=0.314, P<0.01; r=0.265, P<0.01; r=0.212, P<0.05; r=0.401, P<0.01; r=0.216, P<0.05); whereas it was negatively correlated with diastolic perssure, serum albumin levels, glucose level of dialyzate and peritoneal Kt/V (r=-0.209, P<0.05; r=-0.123, P<0.05; r=-0.271, P<0.01; r=-0.212, P<0.01). Overall, there was no correlation between peritoneal albumin leakage and IMT. Patients was significantly greater (P<0.01), and there was a positive correlation between peritoneal albumin leakage amount and IMT (r=0.650, P<0.01). Conclusions Peritoneal albumin leakage is significantly associated with peritoneal transport characteristics, malnutrition and inflammatory state in CAPD patients. High peritoneal albumin leakage amount is a risk factor for atherosclerosis in patients with rGFR less than 1 ml·min-1(1.73 m2)-1.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical and pathologic features of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma(AITL) and provide evidence for diagnosis. METHODS: Eighteen AITL patients (9 males and 9 females aged from 14 to 70 years) were retrospectively analyzed in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from July 2002 to September 2007. RESULTS: Characteristic features at the presentation of AITL included generalized lymphadenopathy, fever, splenomegaly, and skin rashes with polyclonal hyper-gammaglobulinemia and other hematological abnormalities (such as Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia), which often involved the bone marrow and had well-described histologic features. The positive rate for CXCL13 was 93.3%. CONCLUSION Repeated lymphadenbiopsy is helpful for AITL diagnosis. Routine histological and immunohistochemical examinations (especially including CXCL13) play significant role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of AITL.

This study explores the application effect of the case-based teaching method based on Xuexitong learning platform in the online teaching of Digestive System, and analyzes the learner's emotional experience, learning behavior, and learning effect in the case-based online teaching. The results of the study show that the case-based online teaching model based on Xuexitong learning platform improves students' online learning interest, and the students have good emotional experience, high learning enthusiasm, good classroom interaction, enhanced self-learning ability before and after class, and good learning effect. In addition, precise teaching can be used for individual students who are not enthusiastic about online learning.

Objective To observe the expression of tyrosine kinase 2(JAK2)and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)in myocardial tissue of rats with myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury(MIRI)by electroacupuncture at"Neiguan"point,and explore the mechanism of electroacupuncture in up regulating JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway,promoting the expression of anti-inflammatory factors,and reducing MIRI injury.Methods Thirty male SD rats with normal echocardiography were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group and electroacupuncture group,with 10 rats in each group.MIRI models were prepared by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery(LAD)in model group and electroacupuncture group,while in sham operation group,only threading was performed without ligation.In the electroacupuncture group,electroacupuncture(density wave,2 Hz/100 Hz,2 mA)at bilateral"Neiguan"points was performed on the 1st,3rd and 5th days after the modeling operation,once a day,20 minutes each time.The left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)of rats on the 1st,3rd and 5th day after operation was observed by echocardiography to evaluate cardiac function;HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of rat myocardium;The myocardial fibrosis was observed by Masson staining;The expression of IL-4 and IL-6 in myocardium was detected by ELISA;The expressions of IL-1β and IL-10 in myocardial tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry;The expression of JAK2,p-JAK2,STAT3,p-STAT3 protein in myocardial infarction area was measured by Western blot.Results Compared with sham operation group,EF in model group decreased significantly(P<0.05),fibrosis area increased(P<0.05),IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,IL-1β The content of JAK2,p-JAK2,STAT3,p-STAT3 protein increased(P<0.05);Compared with the model group,the EF of rats in the electroacupuncture group increased(P<0.05),the fibrotic area of rats in the electroacupuncture group decreased(P<0.05),the content of IL-4 and IL-10 increased,and IL-6 and IL-1β The expression of JAK2,p-JAK2,STAT3,p-STAT3 protein increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Electroacupuncture at Neiguan point can significantly up regulate JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway,reduce the secretion of proinflammatory factors,increase the expression of anti-inflammatory factors,and alleviate myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.

To explore the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of glioma with Brg/Brm-associated factor 53a (BAF53a) expression.
 Methods: A total of 121 patients with glioma was divided into a BAF53a high expression group (n=79) and a low expression group (n=42) according to the results of immunohistochemistry. Then the MRI characteristics, including lesion location, number, boundary, maximum diameter, peripheral edema, midline structure shift, homogeneity, cystic necrosis, hemorrhage, strengthening degree, ependymal strengthening, pia mater enhancement, deep white matter invasion and lesion across the midline (total 14 items), were analyzed.
 Results: The results showed that there were significance difference in lesion border, lesion edema, enhancement of the lesion, and deep white matter invasion between the 2 groups (all P<0.05).
 Conclusion: The MRI characteristics, such as lesion border, lesion edema degree, enhancement degree of the lesion and deep white matter invasion, might be associated with BAF53a expression in gliomas.
