OBJECTIVE: To establish an HPLC method for the content determination of prostaglandin A1 and prostaglandin B1 in Alprostadil for injection.METHODS: The determination was performed on Alltech Alltima C18 column with mobile phase consisted of phosphate puffer(pH=6.3)-acetonitrile-methanol(70 ∶ 25 ∶ 5) at a flow rate of 1.5 mL? min-1.The detection wavelength was set at 196 nm.The column temperature was set at room temperature and the injection volume was 20 ?L.RESULTS: The prostaglandin A1 and prostaglandin B1 were well separated from main component and other impurities.The linear range of prostaglandin A1 and prostaglandin B1 were 0.175～19.00 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 7) and 0.23～19.90 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 2).The contents of prostaglandin A1 in 3 batches of samples were 4.7%,4.9% and 4.3%,and the contents of prostaglandin B1 in 3 batches of samples were 0.6%,0.8% and 0.5% respectively.CONCLUSIONS: This method is proved to be simple,specific and suitable for the content determination of related substances in Alprostadil for injection.

Objective To analyze the CT features of hepatic echinococcosis rupture into the biliary tract, and to assess the value of CT study in the diagnosis of such cases. Methods CT findings in 15 cases proved surgically and pathologically were studied and analyzed retrospectively. Results 15 patients had 20 hepatic echinococcosis, including simple echinococcosis with single cyst (9 lesions), simple hydatid cyst with multiple cysts (6 lesions), and multivesicular echinococcosis with multiple cysts (5 lesions). 2 lesions had calcifications on the cyst wall. The rupture of hepatic echinococcosis into the intrahepatic ducts was found in all 15 cases. Meanwhile, 12 of them had rupture into the common bile duct, and 2 into the gallbladder. The main CT findings were hepatic echinococcosis incorporated with the dilatation of the biliary tract. Conclusion Signs of rupture of hepatic echinococcosis into the biliary tract are characteristic in CT studies, providing a reliable evidence for preoperative diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the mechanical properties of carbon-fiber-reinforced polyether-ether-ketone (CF/PEEK)composite materials and to evaluate the biocompatibility and bioactivity of CF/PEEK after implanted into mandibula.Methods 27 adult Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into experimental group (n=9) and control group (n=18),CF/PEEK was implanted into bilateral mandibula of the rabbits in experimental group, autologous bone was implanted into left mandibula of the rabbits in positive control group (n=9 )while the right sides were taken as blank control group (n=9 )without implants. The materials-bone interface of samples were collected to make the observation of gross,imaging and histology and to analyze the histological score after 8,12, and 16 weeks.Results All the animals and no infection had secondary fractures.Obviously callus formation was observed on the edge of the defect in both experimental group and positive control group in the imaging observation, while the rabbits in blank control group had no obvious change.Compared with 8 weeks after operation, the score evaluation of local cellular immune response showed significant decreasing in 12 weeks after operation(P<0.01), the data was the minimum in 16 weeks(P<0.05).At the same time,the score evaluation of local cellular immune response in three groups showed no significant difference (P> 0.05).Trabecular bone and osteoblasts could be observed in the bone defect of both experimental group and positive control group after 16 weeks,and blank control group was filled with fibrous connective tissue.The osteogenesis rates in experimental group and positive control group were increased with the prolongation of time, and they were better than that in blank control group (P<0.01).Conclusion CF/PEEK material has good mechanical property,biocompatibility and bioactivity;and it has light immune response after implantation.

Objective To evaluate X-ray stereotactic localized biopsy with resident metal wire in the diagnosis of breast minutelesions. Methods 28 cases of breast minute lesions were analyzed retrospectively,all cases were non-palpable clinically,but were positive by mammography.Needle biopsies were executed under X-ray stereotactic localization,and a thin metal wire was sited in lesion to instruct resection. Results All of 28 cases with minute lesion were successfully localized and completely resected,localization satisfaction rate was 93% percent.Pathological diagnosis showed benign lesion in 19 cases,and malignant lesion in 9 cases.Among the 9 malignant cases,there were 5 cases of invasive duct carcinoma,1 case of duct carcinoma with early invasion,2 cases of duct carcinoma,and 1 case of medullary carcinoma. Conclusion X-ray stereotactic localized biopsy with resident metal wire can provide accurate localization and precise diagnosis,especially in the diagnosis of occult breast cancer.It is an efficient method in the diagnosis of early breast carcinoma.

AIM: To observe the effect of Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation intravitreal bevacizumab in the treatment of neovascular glaucoma ( NVG) .
METHODS:Twenty-two cases (22 eyes) who presented with NVG were first treated with intravitreal bevacizumab 0. 1mL ( 2. 5mg ), then with Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation after regression of iris neovessels. Cases were followed - up for 6 - 36 ( mean 24 ) mo with observation on visual acuity, IOP control, regression of iris neovessels, and complications during or after surgery.
RESULTS: Iris neovessels was regressed in different degree after injection within 1wk in 22 eyes. At final follow-up, the IOP of 18 eyes were all less than 21mmHg without any drugs and of 3 eyes with 1-3 kinds of anti-glaucoma drugs after combined Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation. The IOP of one eye was controlled after cryotherapy. The mean IOP dropped from 45. 36 ±8.13mmHg preoperatively to 15. 59 ± 3. 21mmHg postoperatively. IOP reduction was statistically significance between preoperative and postoperative ( P<0. 05) at final follow-up. Visual acuity was improved in 9 eyes (41%) and was no changed in 13 eyes. No serious complications were observed during or after intravitreous bevacizumab injection and Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation.
CONCLUSION: Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation and intravitreal bevacizumab in the treatment of NVG is useful and safe. It improves the success rate of surgery and preserves visual function, furthermore its complications are less.

Objective To discuss methods of decoration reconstruction for finger defect in emergency and to observe the elinical effects.Methods Of the 41 cases of finger injuries of different degrees,15 were repaired with part of the skin flaps of the big toenails or skin flaps of the second toenalis,8 were repaired with part of the skin flaps of the big toenails,7 were reeonstructed with the second tiptoes,11 were repaired with the abdominal skin flaps of the big toes or lateral flaps of the second toes.Results All the 41 fingers sur- vived.One skin flap of the big toe was somewhat swelling and a decorating operation was performed.The 4～18 months of follow-up visitation of the rest cases revealed good function and shapes.No obvious functional ab- norality was found in the donating feet.Conclusion Various kinds of decoration reeonstruetion for finger defects are available to recover the hand shape and function as much as possible.
