Objective To analyze the efficacy of epley maneuver associated with vertigo calming for treating posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (PC-BPPV) in young.Methods Two hundred and fifty-eight cases(age was 18-50 years old) with PC-BPPV were randomly divided into maneuver group(86 cases),betahistine group(86 cases) and vertigo calming group(86 cases).The maneuver group was treated by epley maneuver associated with placebo,2 pills per time,3 times daily for one month and follow up one month.The betahistine group and vertigo calming group were treated by epley maneuver with betahistine(12 mg/ time,Tid) or vertigo calming(2 piles/time,Tid),the same dose,period of treatment and follow-up as maneuver group.Results After one time treatment,199 cases were cured in 258 patients,including 68 cases in maneuver group,66 cases in betahistine group,65 cases in vertigo calming group,and the difference between groups was not statistically significant(x2 =0.308,P＞0.05).After treatments and followed up for one month,72 cases were cured,3 cases were effective,11 cases were invalid in maneuver group;74 cases were cured,3 cases were effective,9 cases were invalid in betahistine group;81 cases were cured,4 cases were effective,1 cases were invalid in vertigo calming group.Efficient of betahistine group,maneuver group and vertigo calming group were 89.5％,87.2％ and 98.8％,and the difference between maneuver group and betahistine group was not statistically significant(x2=58.65,P＞0.05),the difference of vertigo calming group between with other groups was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The effects of vertigo calming in addition to Epley maneuver is significantly better than both Epley maneuver and Epley maneuver combined with betahistine in young PC-BPPV,while the effects of Epley maneuver combined with betahistine isn't better than Epley maneuver.

The association of serum nesfatin-1 levels with insulin resistance and pancreatic β-cell function in gestational diabetes mellitus was investigated.Oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) was performed in ninety pregnant women from 24,to 28 gestational weeks.They were divided into three groups according to OGTT:45 nomal controls,27 gestational diabetes mellitus with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) of 5.1 mmol/L to 7.0 mmol/L (GDM1),18 gestational diabetes mellitus with FPG more than 7.0 mmol/L (GDM2).Serum nesfatin-1 levels were significantly higher in patients with GDM1 and GDM2 than in controls (P＜0.01),and in GDM2 group it was also higher than GDM1 group(P＜0.05).Fasting serum nesfatin-1 was positively correlated with FPG,30 min plasma glucose,1 h plasma glucose,2 h plasma glucose,homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance,and PGAUC,but negatively correlated with homeostasis model assessment for β-cell function.Furthermore,multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that FPG was the independent influencing factor of serum nesfatin-1 level.Nesfatin-1 was positively correlated with insulin resistance,while negatively correlated with pancreatic β-cell function.Nesfatin-1 may play a role in the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus.

As an important neurotransmitter, adenosine displays its functions by acting on the adenosine receptors. Recent studies have shown that the distribution, expression and balance among subtypes of adenosine receptors are closely related with cognitive activities, and changes of adenosine receptors play key roles in neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease. It has been pointed out that prolonged activation of adenosine receptors by high level adenosine may lead to the disturbance of balance among adenosine receptor subtypes. This imbalance mainly performed as increased expression of A2a receptor and decreased expression of A1 receptor, and enhancement of the excitatory signals mediated by A2a receptor and weakened inhibitory signals mediated by A1 receptor. Changes of these two subtypes of adenosine receptors may lead to a lot of disorders of neurological activities which developed into dysfunction of cognition to the end. These findings imply that the potential of maintaining the balance among adenosine receptors on the treatment of AD would facilitate both the revealing of the mechanism and the cure of AD.

OBJECTIVE:To develop a capillary electrophoresis method for determing the enantiomer of ceftriaxone Na.METHODS:A chiral resolving agent,?-cyclodextrin,was employed as chiral additive for ceftriaxone Na enantiomeric separation by capillary electrophoresis.In different electrophoresis polarity mode,the effect of pH of background electrolyte and the concentration of ?-cyclodextrin were investigated.RESULTS:The optimal conditions for enantiomeric separation were as follows:separation voltage:28kV,buffer solution:NaH2 PO4 50mmol/L,?-CD 0.04mmol/L,Tirs 3.0mmol/L,pH7.15.CONC_LUSION:The method is simple,sensitive,rapid and accurate,and can be used for the quality control of ceftriaxone Na enantiomers.There was significant difference in contents of enantiomers of ceftriaxone Na between products of two factories.We suggest that a quality control method for ceftriaxone Na enantiomer should be established,which will provide scientific basis for quality control of drug and clinical choice of effective antibioties.

OBJECTIVE:To study the distribution characteristics of germacrone from zedoary turmeric oil (ZTO) in each tis-sue of mice,and to provide reference for further application of zedoary turmeric oil. METHODS:30 KM mice were given zedoary turmeric oil 0.5 mL;6 mice were randomly selected 1,2,4,8,12 h after medication,respectively. The contents of germacrone in heart,liver,spleen,lung and kidney tissues were determined by HPLC. 15 KM mice were selected,medication and sampling method were same as above;3 mice were collected at each time point respectively. The fluorescence intensity of germacrone in above sections were observed by fluorescence. The same number of mice were selected as control in 2 trials. RESULTS:The con-centration of germacrone in each tissue 1-4 h increased gradually as time and reached the peak value at 4 h. The contents of ger-macrone in liver and spleen were significantly higher than in heart and lung. The concentrations of germacrone in each tissue were ranked as liver>spleen>kidney>heart>lung. The results of fluorescence intensity observation was same as above results. CON-CLUSIONS:Results of 2 methods show same distribution characteristics of germacrone in mice tissues,and indicate that ger-macrone is distributed more in liver,spleen and kidney tissues and less in heart and lung.
