Objective To investigate the regulation effect of promoter methylation of deathassociated protein kinase (DAPK) on mRNA and protein expression of DAPK in tissue of primary gastric cancer (GC). Methods The cancerous and noncancerous samples from 62 patients with GC were determined by RT-PCR for mRNA expression of DAPK. The DAPK promoter methylation was detected by methylation-specific PCR. The protein expression of DAPK in 34 patients with methylation was determined by Western blot. Results mRNA and protein expre.ssions of DAPK in cancerous tissues were reduced significantly compared to noncancerous tissues (0. 2863d±0. 2027 vs 0. 57364±0. 1968,0. 2616±0. 0913 vs 0. 65294±0. 1808, P＜0.01). Methylation frequency of DAPK in cancerous tissues was higher than that in noncancerous tissues (54.8% vs 17.7%, P＜0.01). Furthermore, DAPK mRNA expression was decreased in methylation group compared to unmethylation group (0.1399±0. 0835 vs 0. 46404±0. 1569, P＜0. 01). Moreover, a significant correlation was demonstrated between the TNM stage and DAPK promoter methylation (P = 0. 04). Conclusion Expression of DAPK is down-regulated in cancerous tissues at mRNA and protein levels. Low expression of DAPK is associated with hypermethylation of the promoter of DAPK gene.

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.

This article is report the study of the pharmacokinetics and metabolic disposition of exogenous phosphocreatine (PCr) in rats by means of an ion-pair HPLC-UV assay. PCr and its metabolite creatine (Cr) and related-ATP in rat plasma and red blood cell (RBC) were simultaneously determined. A blank plasma and RBC were initially run for baseline subtraction. Plasma and RBC samples were deproteinized with 6% PCA prior to HPLC. Following i.v. administration of PCr 500 mg x kg(-1) and 1 000 mg x kg(-1) the C-T curve could be described by the two-compartment model with t1/2beta 22.5-23.3 min, V(d) 0.956 4-0.978 6 L x kg(-1), CL 0.029 L. kg(-1) x min(-1). The Cr as PCr degraded product appeared as early as 2 min post i.v. dosing with t(max) 20 min, t1/2kappa (m) 40.6-42.7 min and f(m) 60%-76%. After po administration of PCr, the parent drug in plasma was undetectable, but the metabolite Cr was detected with t(max) 65-95 min, t1/2kappa (m) 56.0-57.7 min, metabolite-based bioavailability F(m) 55.02%-62.31%. PCr i.v. administration resulted in significant elevation of ATP level in RBC but not in plasma, the related-ATP in RBC was characterized by t(max) 68-83 min, t1/2kappa 49-52 min. In RBC no exogenous PCr was found but Cr was detected following i.v. administration of PCr, with the t(max) 120 min and t1/2k (m) 70 min for Cr. The above results indicate that PCr eliminates and bio-transforms in body very rapidly; K > K(m) confers ERL, instead of FRL, type upon the metabolic disposition of Cr. Following po administration of PCr, the degraded product Cr is absorbed but not the parent drug PCr. The formed Cr can be accounted for by most of i.v. and po PCr. Intravenous dosing leads apparently increased and sustained Cr and related-ATP concentration in RBC.

Objective To develop a liquid chromatography technique coupled with tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS)for simultaneous determination of four active catechins EGCC,ECG,EGC,and EC of tea polyphenols(TP)in rat plasma in order to further study its multi-component pharmacokinetics.Methods Following a single step liquid-liquid extraction of plasma samples with ethyl acetate,the four catechins were separated on a Hypersil ODS C18 column using an isocratic mobile phase composed of methanol-water(30:70).The detection using a mass spectrometer was performed under negative ESI in the MRM mode.The analytes were identified by reference to both MRM and tR values and quantified using peak area internal standard method.Results The method was shown to be specific without interference from matrix,metabolites,and impurities present in TP raw material and to be sensitive with LOD and LOQ of 1.5 and 10 ng/mL(EGCG)as well as 0.75 and 5 ng/mL(ECG,EGC,and EC).A good linearity was obtained over a wide range of 10-10000 ng/mL for EGCG and 5-5000 ng/mL for other three catechins(r > 0.996).The method was validated to be reproducible and reliable,as evidenced by intra-batch and inter-batch precision of less than 10% and 11%,accuracy of 97.13%-106.05% and 99.22%-103.14%,respectively.The recovery of extraction ranged from 72.74% to89.13%,matrix effect from 88.76% to 105.97% for four cateckins.The method was successfully used to study the pharmacokinetics of TP iv administered to rats at a dose of 100 mg/kg.Conclusion This method is shown to completely meet requirements for the multi-component pharmacokinetic study of TP in rats.

Objective: To investigate HPV vaccine hesitation and associated factors among female college students in Weifang, and to provide a suggestions for improving the coverage rate of HPV vaccine among female college students. Methods: The questionnaire of HPV vaccine hesitancy of female college students was designed. By adopting the stratified sampling method, the survey was conducted among female students at one medical university and three nonmedical universities in Weifang. Chi-square test and Logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of vaccine hesitation. Results: Female college students who had high risk perception toward vaccine (OR=4.15, 95%CI=1.55-11.10) and those who were angry about the sideeffects of the vaccine (OR=3.63, 95%CI=1.95-6.75) were hesitate to vaccinate against HPV. Female college students who believed long protection period of HPV vaccine (OR=0.08, 95%CI=0.04-0.17), that women had a high probability of cervical cancer (OR=0.44, 95%CI=0.21-0.90) and that the knowledge of HPV vaccine scored >6 (OR=0.31, 95%CI=0.15-0.67) were more likely to receive HPV vaccine. Conclusion High risk perception of vaccines and anger at vaccine adverse reactions are important factors affecting HPV vaccines for female college students. Our findings call for strategic role of the state, school-based health education as well as medical professional guidance in lowering HPV vaccination hesitation among fenale college sutdents.

In order to solve the saturation distortion phenomenon of R component in fingertip video image, this paper proposes an iterative threshold segmentation algorithm, which adaptively generates the region to be detected for the R component, and extracts the human pulse signal by calculating the gray mean value of the region to be detected. The original pulse signal has baseline drift and high frequency noise. Combining with the characteristics of pulse signal, a zero phase digital filter is designed to filter out noise interference. Fingertip video images are collected on different smartphones, and the region to be detected is extracted by the algorithm proposed in this paper. Considering that the fingertip's pressure will be different during each measurement, this paper makes a comparative analysis of pulse signals extracted under different pressures. In order to verify the accuracy of the algorithm proposed in this paper in heart rate detection, a comparative experiment of heart rate detection was conducted. The results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper can accurately extract human heart rate information and has certain portability, which provides certain theoretical help for further development of physiological monitoring application on smartphone platform.
