Objective: To establish a method for the determination of the related substances in pantoprazole sodium capsules. Methods:A Kromasil C18 column (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) was used. 0. 01 mol·L-1 monopotassium phosphate solution (adjus-ting pH to 7. 0 with phosphoric acid)-acetonitrile was adopted as the mobile phase with gradient elution. The detection wavelength was 289 nm and the column temperature was 40℃. The injection volume was 20μl and the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 . Results:Panto-prazole sodium and its degradation substances could be well separated. The limit of detection and quantification of pantoprazole sodium was 0. 16 ng and 0. 48 ng, respectively. Conclusion:The method is simple, specific and sensitive, and can be applied to determine the related substances in pantoprazole sodium.

Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic(PK/PD)modeling,as an available tool accounting for the interrelated dynamic connection between the dosage and efficiency of drugs,plays an important role in the field of studying the mechanism and optimizing the clinical administration of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).Based on the general illustration on the foregoing application of PK/PD modeling,the present work investigates the involving challenges in the field,such as the selection of the target chemical composition and effect mark.In accordance with the unique properties of TCM,further,the related suggestions,mainly focusing on determining the substances based on the effect and establishing the multi-index appraise system,are put forward as reference for the following research work.

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a potent chemotactic and mitogenic factor, is involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis and platelet production. Our studies demonstrate the presence of functional PDGF receptors (PDGFR) on human megakaryocytes/platelets and CD34(+) cells, and their ability to mediate a mitogenic response. PDGF promotes the ex vivo expansion of human hematopoietic stem (CD34(+)) and progenitor (CD41(+)) cells. More significantly, PDGF enhances the engraftment of human CD45(+) cells and their myeloid subsets (CD33(+), CD14(+) cells) in NOD/SCID mice. PDGF also stimulates in vitro megakaryocytopoiesis via PDGFR and/or the indirect effect on bone marrow microenvironment to produce TPO and other cytokines. It also shows a direct stimulatory effect of PDGF on c-Fos, GATA-1 and NF-E2 expressions in megakaryocytes. We speculate that these transcription factors may be involved in the signal transduction of PDGF on the regulation of megakaryocytopoiesis. PDGF also enhances platelet recovery in mouse model with radiation-induced thrombocytopenia. This radioprotective effect is likely to be mediated via PDGFR with subsequent activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. It provides a possible explanation that blockage of PDGFR may reduce thrombopoiesis and play a role in imatinib mesylate-induced thrombocytopenia.

Objective The questionaires of the ONFH aegers who were hospitalized in Kanggu hospital,during 2005-2008 ,were collect-ed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of acupotomy by proper statistical methods. Methods Four indexes according to the criteria of Therapeutic effect of adult ONFH recovery and reconstruction (ZHAO Dewei, 1996) were measured to evaluate the effect of the treatment. Results Monofac-torial analysis showed that the treatrnent was effective,but some phenomena could not be correctly explined in specialized field. This problem was re-solved appropriately by structural equation model(SEM). Conclusion By the method of SEM, the confounding factors could be better controlled and the evaluation was more reliable.

Objective To investigate the expression of netrin-1 in placenta from patients with pre- eclampsia and the relation to placental angiogenesis.Methods Twenty patients with pre-eclampsia(12 mild cases and 8 severe cases)and 20 normal late pregnant women were investigated.The expression of netrin-1 mRNA and protein was determined with RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively.The placenta vascular density was examined by immunohistochemical F8 staining.Results (1)The values of netrin-1 mRNA in normal group and pre-eclampsia groups were 0.51?0.08 and 0.41?0.06;The values of netrin- 1 protein in normal group and pre-eclampsia groups were 26.4?1.8 and 20.5?1.3(P

A study was made of the effects of carboxymethyl modified hemi-cellulose ( CMMH ) on the immune reaction in mice. When it was administered with 1.5% 300mg/kg ip daily for 5 d, CMMH remarkably enhanced the phagocytic activity of peritoneal exudate macro-phages(P

Objective To explore the clinical significance of mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) antibody IgM positive with high titers.Methods Two hundred and sixty-seven cases of respiratory tract infections of MP with MP-IgM positive were confirmed in our hospital during Jun.2005 to Aug.2008,of which 63 cases with significantly increased titers of MP-IgM antibodies(MP-IgM≥1:1 280).A prospective observation and later analysis of the clinical manifestations of the 63 cases were carried out.Results 1.Among 63 cases,6 cases were diagnosed as upper respiratory tract infection,12 cases as acute bronchitis and 45 cases as pneumonia,respectively.2.The 63 cases pre-sented mainly with fever and cough,of them 59 cases had fever and 45 cases with paroxysmal cough,39 cases could be found crackles on physical examination.3.Extrapulmonary manifestations could be found in many cases,including heart complications in 21 cases,abnormal liver functions in 35 cases,gastrointestinal manifestations in 22 cases,neurological manifestations in 1 case,dermatological disorders in 7 cases and renal manifestations in 3 cases.4.Patterns of chest X-ray findings of the 63 cases with MP infections were varied,of which 45 cases showed pulmonary abnormality.Chest X-ray findings of the 45 children included 12 cases with interstitial infiltration,6 cases with lobar condensation,15 cases with patch shadows,4 cases with enlarged porta pulmonis and 8 cases with reticulonodular infiltrates.Three cases were complicated with pleural effusion and 2 children with segmental atelectasis.5.The cases were given azithromycin,10 mg/(kg?d),a daily dose for 5 days and intermitted for 4 days.All cases repeated the treatment courses for 1 to 4 times.The mean duration of fever was 6.6 days,cough could last 11.7 days and the crackles on physical examination could not be found 7.5 days later after treatment.The abnormality of chest X-ray findings dissolved in 38 cases 2-3 weeks later after treatment.Conclusions Cases of MP infections with high titers of MP-IgM positive had severe symptoms,of which more than 90% patients presenting with lower respiratory tract infections,mainly with pneumonia.Recovery of chest radiological finding was posterior to clinical improvement,so timely and regular chest X-ray examinations were essential after treatment and could avoid the false ceasing of treatment of the cases.Patients of MP infections with high titers of IgM antibodies positive have good prognosis.
