Tamoxifen and letrozole are two of the most effective pharmaceuticals mainly used in hormonal dependent) breast cancer therapy. A trace analytical method using ultra performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS) was developed to simultaneously detect these two drugs in both influent) and effluent of municipal sewage treatment plant. Sewage samples were passed through an Oasis HLB cartridge, then an amino solid phase extraction cartridge was connected with Oasis HLB cartridge. Target compounds) was firstly eluted with 6 mL methanol and then 3 mL methanol was used to elute the amino solid phase extraction cartridge, collected and pooled the elutants. After concentration, target compounds were separated) on a BEH C_(18)) column using a gradient elution profile with a mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid aqueous) solution and acetonitrile and detected by an electro spray ionization tandem mass spectrometry with multiple reactions monitoring(MRM). Satisfactory linearity(R~2>0.997) was obtained over the range of 1.0-100 μg/L) and 0.1-100 μg/L for tamoxifen and letrozole, respectively, with limits of quantification(LOQ) of 1.0 and 0.1 ng/L. Mean recoveries of two target compounds(spiked in sewage samples at three concentration levels) ranged from 68.8% to 103.0%, with relative standard deviations(RSD) less than 15%. This method can be applied for the analysis of target drugs sewage samples.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of compound total flavonoids on atherosclerosis in ApoE -/- knockout mice.Methods Seven-week old C57BL/6 mice considered of the normal group (n =1 5 );seven-week old ApoE -/- mice were fed with high-fat diet and were assigned randomly into 5 groups:model group,simvastatin group,the low com-pound flavonoids group,the middle compound fla-vonoids group and the high compound flavonoids group.After 1 6 weeks,mice serum and aortas were harvested.The formation of atherosclerotic plaque was analyzed by HE staining,The serum level of lipids pro-files and superoxide dismutase (SOD )were deter-rnined.The levels of IL-1 βand NF-κB in serum were detected by ELISA assay.Results Area of atheroscle-rotic lesion was significantly less in the compound fla-vones group than in model.The level of TC,TG,LDL-C,IL-1 β,NF-κB in serum of the compound flavonoids group were decreased significantly,while SOD and HDL-C increased significantly compared with the mod-el group,and the difference was significant (P <0.05).Conclusion The compound flavonoids have a good protective effect on early atherosclerosis in mice, which may be due to its alleviating effects on hyperlipi-demia and inflammation and oxidation.

Objective To investigate changes in the expression of apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease (APE) and the oxidative DNA damage marker 8 OHdG in distant hippocampus regions of the rat brain after focal cerebral ischemia of the middle cerebral artery.Methods SD rats were divided into the sham surgery group and the pMCAO group (induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion).Pathological changes in brain tissues were examined at 2 h,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h and 72 h.The expression of APE and 8-OHdG was measured by immunohistochemical staining methods.TUNEL staining was performed to detect apoptosis.Results Reduction of APE expression in the CA1 region of the hippocampus on the ischemia side appeared at 2 h in the pMCAO group and continued as ischemia persisted (F=11.91,P<0.05).The expression of 8OHdG and TUNEL immunoreactivity in the CA1 region of the hippocampus on the ischemia side were first observed at 6h in the pMCAO group and intensified during the remainder of induced ischemia (F=9.23 and 10.46 respectively,P<0.05 for both).Compared with the sham group,8-OHdG expression and TUNEL immunoreactivity in the pMCAO group were at nearly the same levels from 24 h to 72h.Conclusions Oxidative DNA damage occurs in hippocampus regions of the rat brain after experimentally induced focal cerebral ischemia of the middle cerebral artery.APE expression declines in regions distant from focal cerebral ischemia.Development and accumulation of oxidative DNA damage can induce apoptosis in certain brain regions.

BackgroundThe research of corneal thickness after pars plana vitrectomy in DM patient plays an important role not only theoretically but clinically.Objective Present study was to evaluate the change in corneal thickness after pars plana vitrectomy.Methods A prospective coherent study was designed.Seventy-five eyes of 70 consecutive diabetic retinopathy(DR) patients were collected in Tianjin Medical University Eye Center.Pentacam was used to assess the central and periphery corneal thickness by the same investigator preoperatively and 7 days,1 and 3 months postoperatively,respectively.The thickness values from five corneal zone were obtained,including cornea vertex,the thinnest point of the cornea,periphery cornea near the scleral incision of 4 mm away to vertex of cornea on vertical and 240°,120°,60° meridian ( right eye) or 300°,120°,60° meidian ( left eye ).These results were compared and analyzed with ANOVA of repeated measurement data.Subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate the influence of different corneal positions,the use of conventional 20g or 23g transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy(TSV) groups,surgery duration,gas or fluid endotamponde on corneal thickness.This study was approved by Ethic Committee of this hospital.Written informed consent was obtained from the subjects before any relative medical procedure.Results The mean corneal thickness was ( 639.9 ± 103.1 ),( 689.5 ± 119.3 ),( 666.5 ±113.7),( 650.8 ± 108.6 ) μm before operation,postperative 7 days,1 and 3 months respectively.As covariates appearing in the model,the corneal thickness change rates were revised as the parameters as following: diabeitc duration =13.0 and age =57.2.The revised corneal thickness was significant different among various time points( F=210.928,P=0.000) and different corneal zones(F=24.843,P=0.000) with the size order in turn P4>P3>P1>P2>P5.The corneal thickness change rates were less in 23g TSV group compared with conventional 20-g group (F =53.843,P =0.000) and BSS tamponade group compared with gas tamponade group ( F =5.288,P =0.022).But no significant difference was found in the revised corneal thickness among surgery duration < 1 hour group,1-2 hour group and >2 hour group( F=1.233,P =0.293).ConclusionsVitrectomy is a safe procedure on the ground of cornea,but TSV and fluid endotamponade appear to be more beneficial to the protection of cornea.Pentacam could offer the reliable data in not only central cornea but also periphery cornea.

Objective To observe the change of interleukin-8(IL-8) during perioperative period, and to define whether the increase of IL-8 in response to cardiac surgery is related to the presence of a certain allele in a functional polymorphism. To explore the relationship between postoperative inflammation and clinical outcome. Methods One hundred and forty-five patients undergoing selective off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) for the first time were enrolled. The IL-8 (-251A >T) polymorphisms were analyzed by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gene sequencing. The plasma levels of cytokine, troponin T (TnT). creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) and creatinine (Cr) were measured before and 4, 24 and 72 hours after operation by suspension array system. Results After surgery, the IL-8 concentration increased and reached the highest level at 4 hours after surgery [18.0 (8.4, 37.1) ng/L, P = 0.000], and then it decreased to the preoperative level at 3 days after surgery. Four hours after surgery, the patients with IL-8-251 AA homozygous genotype had higher concentration of IL-8 C33.1 (16.6, 49.5) ng/L, P =0.0353. They had higher TnT and CK-MB levels than patients homozygous for AT and TT genotype 4 hours after surgery [TnT:0.53 (0.43, 4.92) ng/ml, P = 0.037; CK-MB: 41.5 (28.8, 65.5) U/L, P=0.025], and patients homozygous for AT genotype had higher Cr level 24 hours after surgery C93.1 (76.4, 121.5) μmol/L, P = 0. 021]. The patients who underwent ventilation for more than 1 day or post-operative hospital stay for more than 14 days had higher IL-8 levels (P=0.036, 0.038). IL-8-251AA genotype was an independent risk factor for patients undergoing ventilation for more than 1 day (OR=11.80, 95% CI: 1.87-74.48) and post-operative hospital stay for more than 14 days (OR=38.00, 95% CI:4.15-347. 87) . Conclusions OPCAB results in postoperative inflammatory response. IL-8-251AA genotype is associated with longer mechanical ventilation and hospital staying. Genetic background might alter the extent of inflammatory response and relate to postoperative prognosis. 、
