TA method for the content determination of methionine sulfoxide and methionine sulfone in compound amino acid injection (18AA-II) was established in order to investigate their level in 155 batches of this product, and to explore the reason for the generation of these two impurities.The determination was performed on an Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C18 column with mobile phases of sodium acetate/tetrahydrofuran solution (A) and sodium acetate solution -acetonitrile-methanol (B, 200∶400∶400) (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 0.5 mL/min.The excitation wavelength and the emission wavelength of the fluorescence detector were 233 nm and 441 nm, respectively.The column temperature was 40 °C, and the injection volume was 8 μL.The contents of methionine sulfoxide and methionine sulfone from 155 batches of compound amino acid injection (18AA-II) was determined using this method, and the residual oxygen content was detected by headspace gas analyzer.The results showed that the linear range of methionine sulfoxide and methionine sulfone were 0.128 1-10.250 0 μg/mL (r = 0.999 9) and 0.261 0-10.440 0 μg/mL (r = 0.999 8), respectively.The limits of quantitation were 0.13 μg/mL and 0.26 μg/mL, respectively; the limits of detection were 0.04 μg/mL and 0.09 μg/mL, respectively.RSDs of precision, stability and repetitive test were all lower than 1.3%.The recoveries ranged 98.00%-100.79% (RSD = 1.15%, n = 9) and 98.19%-102.31% (RSD = 1.33%, n = 9).The content level of oxidized related substances from different manufacturers showed significant difference, showing relevance with the residual oxygen content to some extent, yet no significant correlation with the added amount of antioxygen (sodium pyrosulfite).The method is validated to be useful for the content control of methionine sulfoxide and methionine sulfone in compound amino acid injection (18AA-II).It is quite necessary to include the determination of oxidized related substance into the quality specification.Manufacturers should strengthen the control of remaining oxygen in their products.

Objective To observe the effects of CoC12 treatment on the expression of Hypoxia-inducible factor-1(HIF-1α) in mice hippocampus at different time point.Methods Balb/c mice were injected with CoCl2 and the change of HIF-1 α was detected by western blot and immunofluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscope at different time point(0h,1h,2h,3h,4h,5h and 6h) after injection.Results The relative protein level of HIF-1α was 0.135 ±0.01,0.572 ±0.01,0.595 ±0.03,1.09 ±0.03,1.30 +0.04,1.275 ±0.03,0.947 ±0.03respectively at different time point after the injection.The HIF-1α protein level reached its peak value at 4 h and decreased at 5h and 6h.Fluorescence intensity of HIF-1α was 13.33 ± 3.42,30.95 ± 7.86,46.50 ± 9.65,61.50± 10.02,88.30 + 15.69,71.39 ± 11.28,67.41 ± 10.78 respectively at different time point after the injection.The HIF-1α fluorescence intensity also reached its peak value at 4 h and decreased at 5h and 6h.Conclusion Time dependent HIF-1α accumulation was in close correlation with the CoCl2.

BACKGROUND: The study aimed to estimate the value of embryonal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (ENOTES) in treating severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated with abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). METHODS: The patients, who were randomized into an ENOTES group and an operative group, underwent ENOTES and laparotomy, respectively. The results and complications of the two groups were compared. RESULTS: Enterocinesia was observed earlier in the ENOTES group than in the operative group. Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score of patients in the ENOTES group was lower than that of the operative group on the 1st, 3rd and 5th post-operative day (P<0.05). The cure rate was 96.87％ in the ENOTES group, which was statistically different from 78.12％ in the operative group (P<0.05). There were significant differences in complications and mortality between the two groups (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Compared with surgical decompression, ENOTES associated with flexible endoscope therapy is an effective and minimal invasive procedure with less complications.

Objective To study the placental vascular distribution of monochorionic (MC) twins with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) or hirth weight discordance.Methods Twenty-eight MC placentas were injected in Peking University Third Hospital between Feb.2010 and Feb.2011.The vascular distribution type (parallel,crossed,mixed and monoamniotic),the anastomosis of vessels and the placental sharing were recorded.The outcome of pregnancy and the placental characteristics of birth weight discordance (birth weight discordance ≥ 20％) in non-TTTS MC twins were analyzed.Results (1) The outcome of pregnancy:the miscarriage or gestational weeks of 28 MC twins were 20 to 38 weeks (median of 35 weeks).Six cases were TTTS,3 of which received fetoscopic laser occlusion of communicating vessels (FLOC).There were 48 live births,with an average birth weight of (2036 ± 623) g.(2) Type of placental vascular distribution:in the 28 MC placentas,number of parallel,crossed,mixed and monoamniotic type of placental vascular distribution were 4 (14％),14 (50％),6 (21％) and 4 (14％) cases,respectively.No parallel type was found in TTTS.There was no significant difference of vascular anastomosis or unequal placental sharing among the different placental vascular distribution types (P ＞ 0.05).(3) Characteristics of placental vascular distribution in birth weight discordance twins:there were 20 non-TTTS MC twin pregnancies,all of which got live births of both babies.Birth weight discordance equal to or more than 20％ was found in 6 pairs of newborns,while birth weight discordance less than 20％ was found in the rest 14 cases.Ratio of unequal placental sharing was significantly different between the two groups (P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference of umbilical cord insertion,placental vascular distribution and anastomosis in the two groups (P ＞0.01).Conclusions Vascular distribution type of MC twins might be related to TTTS.Unequal placental sharing is a risk factor of birth weight discordance in non-TTTS MC twins.
