ObjectiveTo develop and verify a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC)method for the determination of residual amount of trifluoroacetic acid(TFA)in human interferon alpha 2b(hIFNα2b)stock solution,and preliminarily apply the method.MethodsThe conditions of liquid chromatography were as follows:ZORBAX300SB-C18 column(4. 6 mm × 250 mm,5 μm);mobile phase:0. 08% phosphoric acid(pH 3. 0)+ 5. 0% methanol solution;detection time:6 min;flow rate:0. 8 mL/min;column temperature:35 ℃；UV wavelength:210 nm;injection volume:20 μL;isocratic elution. The system adaptability,linearity,specificity,accuracy,precision,limit of quantitation(LOQ),limit of detection(LOD)and durability of the method were verified. The TFA residues in three batches of hIFNα2b stock solution samples were determined by the developed method and composite column Comixsil ACRP(100 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm).ResultsThe linearity of TFA was good in the range of 10-300 μg/mL(R2= 0. 998 4). The average spike recovery rate was 101. 8% and RSD was 2. 68%. The RSDs of repeatability and intermediate precision verification were 0. 46% and0. 45%,respectively. The LOQ was 10 μg/mL,and the LOD was 2 μg/mL. The slight fluctuation of pH of organic solvent,buffer salt and temperature of column under the specified conditions had no obvious influence on the detection results,and the peak area was affected when the detection wavelength changed. In addition,TFA residues were not detected in three batches of hIFNα2b stock solution by two methods.ConclusionThe developed RP-HPLC method has good system adaptability,specificity,accuracy,precision and durability,and can be used for the determination of TFA residues in hIFNα2b stock solution.

The purpose of this study was to investigate STI changes resulting from static and dynamic exercises in boys, 9-10 years old, so as to reveal the effects of physical work of different types and loads on the heart function.Our research showed that the effects of static load and dynamic load on STI in children were different. After dynamic exercise all items of STI changed significantly and PEP/LVET decreased significantly. No PEP change was found after static exercises (50% and 80% max load). Static exercise of 50% max load resulted in no IVCT change, but static exercise of 80% max load resulted in very significant change of IVCT, and the longest recovery period was found afterwards. Thus, 80% static exercise would result in a heavy, transient heart load in children.Our research also showed that the changes of HR?systolic blood pressure?LVET after dynamic load and static load were significantly different indicating that oxygen consumption in heart muscles was higher during dynamic exercise and the effect of dynamic exercise on heart was stronger.

OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for research & development and application of pill preparation. METHODS: Our understanding on the statement "Pill, Is Sluggish" was come up with, and the pertinetn literature and research results were analyzed and summarized. RESULTS: The statement "Pill, Is Sluggish" is not only the description of the traditional pill's dosage-form characteristic, but also contains the requirement on administration method. It is a relative description. There is also difference in speed of taking effect between different kinds of pills. Its origin contains the factor of dosage as well as the factor of dosage-form; It does not apply to some new type pills. CONCLUSION: The connotation of "Pill, Is Sluggish" is extremely rich, which should be viewed relatively, comprehensively and developmentally so as to continuously enrich and develop the dosage form theory of Chinese materia medica and make pills serve better for the clinic.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of traditional excision of involved lymph nodes and functional neck dissection in the treatment of patients with multiple cervical tuberculous lymphadenopathy(MCTLP).Methods From Jan 2006 to May 2008,76 patients with MCTLP who presented with focal liquefaction or sinus formation after ineffective conservative therapy were randomly divided into study group(functional neck dissection) and control group.Data regarding the 3-month recurrence rate,postoperative neck function,the mean hospitalization days and medical costs of the 2 groups were compared.Results There was significant difference in relapse rate 3 months postoperatively between study group(1 case,2.56%) and control group(7 cases,16.22%)(

Objective To investigate the association of cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4(CTLA 4) gene polymorphism with type 1 diabetes in Chinese Han population.Methods The A/G phenotype at position 49 of the CTLA 4 gene exon 1 was determined by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR RFLP)method in 33 typical type 1 diabetes patients,57 latent autoimmune diabetes in adults(LADA) patients and 84 healthy control subjects of Chinese Han.Results The frequency of the CTLA 4/G 49 phenotype was significantly higher in type 1 diabetes patients than in control subjects(55.6% vs 36.9%, respectively, P =0.0005),but there was no significant difference between typical type 1 DM and LADA groups. Neither the presence nor the absence of G 49 allele influenced the occurrence of islet autoantibody(ICA) and glutamate decarboxylase antibody(GADAb).Conclusion The polymorphism of CTLA 4 gene exon1 confers susceptibility to type 1 diabetes. This association is independent of ICA and GADAb.

BACKGROUND:Receptor-interacting protein 140-knockout mice are lean and resistant to high fat diet-induced obesity due to an increase in mitochondrial biogenesis, fatty acid oxidation and oxidative phosphorylation.
OBJECTIVE:To study the expression level of receptor-interacting protein 140 mRNA in adipose tissue of high fat diet-induced obese mice and the correlation with insulin resistance.
METHODS:Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group and high fat diet group, and fed for 14 weeks separately. The mice of the two groups were weighed. Mice in high fat diet group whose body weight were 20%higher than average weight of control mice were selected as obese mice.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 12 mice in high fat diet group were recruited into the obesity group. The levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, fast blood glucose and fast insulin in obesity group were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The expression of receptor-interacting protein 140 mRNA in adipose was significantly higher in obesity group compared with the controls (P<0.05). Moreover, the expression of receptor-interacting protein 140 mRNA in adipose was positively correlated with triglycerides levels and insulin resistance index (r=0.526, P<0.05;r=0.465, P<0.05), but negatively associated with the levels of total cholesterol, fast blood glucose and fast insulin (P>0.05).
