Objective:To establish a headspace capillary gas chromatography method for the determination of residual solvents in clindamycin hydrochloride. Methods:A headspace gas chromatography was used to separate the residual solvents on a DB-624 capillary column with an FID detector. The carried gas was nitrogen at a flow rate of 2ml·min-1 . The split ratio was 1∶1. The temperature of the injector was 200℃ and that of the FID was 300℃. The programmed column temperature was set as follows:maintained at 40℃ for 5 min and then raised to 200℃ at the rate of 20℃·min-1 and maintained for 10 min. The containers of headspace injector were in e-quilibrium at 80℃ for 30 min. Water was used as the solvent. The amounts of the residual solvents such as methanol,ethanol,acetone, chloroform and N,N-dimethyformamide were calculated by an external standard method. Results:The detected solvents were separated completely. The calibration curve of each solvent showed a good linear relationship (r=0. 999 1 ~0. 999 9). The average recovery was within the range of 97. 2% ~101. 2% and RSD was within the range of 0. 68% ~1. 98%(n=9). Conclusion:The method is suit-able for the determination of residual solvents in clindamycin hydrochloride.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the changes of cytokine levels in patients with sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis and drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis before and after anti-tuberculosis treatment. Methods The clinical data of 213 pulmonary tuberculosis patients admitted to the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from August 2019 to October 2020 were collected, and divided into a sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis group and a drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis group, of which 141 were in the sensitive group and 72 in the drug-resistant group , and the pro-inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-6, IL-17, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and anti-inflammatory factors IL-10 and IL-4 in plasma before treatment, 3 months and 6 months after treatment were compared. Results Compared with the healthy group, the levels of plasma IL-6 in the sensitive group and the resistant group were significantly increased, difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). The plasma levels of IFN-γ and IL-17 in the sensitive group were increased, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with before treatment, the levels of IL-6 and IL-4 in the plasma of the sensitive group after 6 months of treatment were lower than those after 3 months of treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and IFN-γ was significantly decreased (P<0.001). After 6 months of treatment, the IL-10 content was lower than that before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the IFN-γ decreased significantly (P<0.000 1). The levels of IFN-γ at 3 months were higher than those in the resistant group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). After 6 months of treatment, there was no significant difference in the content of IFN-γ between the sensitive group and the resistant group. The effective rate of CT absorption was 70% in the sensitive group and only 43.33% in the resistant group at 3 months of treatment, and there was no significant difference in the effective rate between the two groups after 6 months of treatment. Conclusions Detection of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines in plasma can provide reference for host-directed therapy of pulmonary tuberculosis. Understanding this important feature of cytokines on pathogen-host interactions can provide new insights into the study of virulence mechanisms and may provide new approaches for immune intervention in pulmonary tuberculosis.

As the development of technology in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit,the neurology outcome of premature has become a critical issue for their future life quality.Early electroencephalogram (EEG) test is a noninvasive and convenient method to monitor brain function.Nowadays,EEG monitoring has been used to evaluate the maturity of background activity,to detect subclinical seizures and to predict future neurological outcomes.The guideline of American clinical neurophysiology society in 2011,and the guideline of French clinical neurophysiology society in 2015 have made recommendations for the indication,timing and duration of EEG monitoring.Interpret EEG needs both skill and experience,it is hard for clinicians to master the skill in a short time.Hence,despite the advantages of EEG monitoring,the application of EEG among premature is limited.The amplitude-integrated EEG and other quantitative EEG monitoring method have become the latest research hotspot for evaluation of preterm brain function.In order to improve the recognition of EEG in the area of preterm neurologic evaluation,now the latest researches are reviewed.

Objective To screen and identify the serum biomarker of anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding (ADUB) , to determine the expression of biomarker protein in menses of ADUB pa-tients, and to investigate the relation between ADUB and the biomarker proteins. Methods Subjects included 128 ADUB patients and 93 age-matched controls( normal women ). Their serum and super-natant of mense were collected and stored for use at -80℃. The differential proteins in the serum of the 2 groups were detected by CM 10 and analyzed by Biomarker WizardTM3.2 software. Then, the differential proteins were identified by Trieine-SDS-PAGE gel separation, spectrometry identifica-tion, and immunoprecipitation. The expression of the protein identified above in the menses was test-ed by ELISA, RT-PCR, and Western blotting. SPSS 14.1 was applied for statistical analysis and chart drawing. Results Five differential protein peaks were screened and their peak values were 11.80, 13.59, 13.79, 13.85, and 14.20 km/z, respectively. The intensity of protein peak ( 11.80 km/z ) which was identified as serum amyploid protein A ( SAA ) of ADUB was significantly higher than that of the controls (P<0.05). While the intensity of protein peak (13.59 km/z) which was identified as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of ADUB was obviously lower than that of the controls (P<0.05). The intensity of protein peak 13.08, 13.85, and 14.20 was not different between the cases and controls. SAA expressed highly in the menses of ADUB but low in that of the controls. Conversely, VEGF expressed highly in the menses of the control but low in that of the ADUB. Conclusion Two biomarkers which might be related with ADUB have been correctly screened and identified as SAA and VEGF. It needs further study whether the increased expression of SAA and reduced expression of VEGF are the cause or result of ADUB.

Objective To study the expression of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) and the counts of lymph vessels in laryngeal squarnous cell carcinoma and polyps of vocal cord tissues, and explore their clinicopathologic significance and correlation in the course of laryngeal carcinoma. Methods SP immuno-histochemical method was used to detect the expression of NF-κB and the counts of lymph vessels on the routinely paraffln-embedded sections of the specimens from 50 cases laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and 10 cases of polyps of vocal cord tissues. Results The positive rate of NF-κB and the counts of lymph ves-sels in laryngeal carcinoma[60. 0% ,( 13.3±3.4)/HP]were significantly higher ( P <0. 05 and P <0. 01respectively) than those in polyps of vocal cord tissues[10.0 % ,(6. 1±3. 8)/HP]. The positive rate of NF-κB and the counts of lymph vessels in well differentiated adenocarcinoma and cases without metastasis were significantly lower( P < 0. 05, P <0. 01 ), compared with poor-differentiated adenoearcinoma and ca-ses with metastasis. The counts of lymph vessels in the NF-κB positive cases were significantly higher than thoseinNF-κBnegativecases[(14.9±4.1)/HPvs (9.8±3.1)/ HP, P <0.01] . Conclusions The expression of NF-κB and the counts of lymph vessels might be important markers to be used to monitor the progression, biological behaviors, metastatic status and prognosis of laryngeal carcinoma. NF-κB might pro-mote lympoangiogenesis in laryngeal squnmous cell carcinoma tissues.

Late intraocular lens dislocation is one of the most severe late complications after phacoemulsification.It often occurs 3mo after the surgery.Different from early intraocular lens dislocation, late intraocular lens dislocation is caused by zonular dehiscence and contraction of the capsular bag many years after phacoemulsification.In recent years, the incidence of late intraocular lens dislocation gradually increases, having a risk of 0.1% after 10a and 1.7% after 25a.In the long-term follow-up patients who underwent cataract surgery, 90% had zonular insufficiency and capsular contraction.Among the multiple factors which may contribute to zonular weakness and capsular contraction, pseudoexfoliation is the most common cause, accounting for 50% of all the cases.Other risk factors include aging, high myopia, uveitis, trauma, previous vitreoretinal surgery, retinitis pigmentosa, diabetes mellitus, atopic dermatitis, previous acute angle-closure glaucoma attack, and connective tissue disorders.The understanding of these predisposing factors will suggest necessary preventions for high-risk patients in the future.
