OBJECTIVE: To establish an HPLC method for the content determination of prostaglandin A1 and prostaglandin B1 in Alprostadil for injection.METHODS: The determination was performed on Alltech Alltima C18 column with mobile phase consisted of phosphate puffer(pH=6.3)-acetonitrile-methanol(70 ∶ 25 ∶ 5) at a flow rate of 1.5 mL? min-1.The detection wavelength was set at 196 nm.The column temperature was set at room temperature and the injection volume was 20 ?L.RESULTS: The prostaglandin A1 and prostaglandin B1 were well separated from main component and other impurities.The linear range of prostaglandin A1 and prostaglandin B1 were 0.175～19.00 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 7) and 0.23～19.90 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 2).The contents of prostaglandin A1 in 3 batches of samples were 4.7%,4.9% and 4.3%,and the contents of prostaglandin B1 in 3 batches of samples were 0.6%,0.8% and 0.5% respectively.CONCLUSIONS: This method is proved to be simple,specific and suitable for the content determination of related substances in Alprostadil for injection.

Objective To explore the relationships between plasma vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP),superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA) and hypoxic-ischemic brain damage(HIBD) in neonates with asphyxia.Methods Sixty-eight full-term neonates hospitalized with asphyxia were enrolled in this study (simple asphyxia group 15 cases,mild HIE group 17 cases,moderate HIE group 22 cases and severe HIE group 14 cases) according to the diagnostic criteria of neonatal hypoxic- ischemic encephalopathy(HIE),and 20 cases in control group.Plasma VIP,SOD and MDA were detected by radio-immuhoassay,thiobarbatic acid colorimety and xanthine oxidase at d1 and d7 after born in every group.Results 1.There were significant difference in the plasma VIP,SOD and MDA among every group(Pa

Objective To evaluate the characters of respiratory function in children with chronic cough and explore the correlative association between cough variant asthma(CVA) and etiology of chronic cough.Methods One hundred and forty patients with chronic cough were divided into 2 groups based on peak expiratory flow(PEF) or forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1).Ninty-three cases were done exercise test and 47 cases were done bronchoditor rest.The parameters included forced vital capacity(FVC),FEV1,PEF,forced expiratory flow at 50% and 75%(FEF50,FEF75).Results The measurement 35 cases with positive bronchoditor rest,and 30 cases with positive exercise test were found.The PEF and FEV1 variation rate were(18.30?10.50)%,(18.78?9.44)% in exercise test groups,and(30.36?27.27)%,(36.13?26.83)% in bronchoditor rest groups,respectively.Conclusions FEV1,PEF may be used as markers for the reversibility of airway obstructe in children with CVA.There is significant correlation between PEF and FEV1.Respiratory function mensurate may reflect the change and degree of inflammation in the airway of children with chronic cough.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Xuebijing injection in treatment of sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome ( MODS ). Methods A prospective multicenter clinical study was conducted. The patients with sepsis, severe sepsis, or MODS admitted to Department of Emergency and Critical Care Medicine of 70 hospitals across the country during 2006 to 2008 were enrolled. All of the patients received the basis treatment of conventional therapy, plus Xuebijing injection of 50-100 mL, 2-3 times a day for 5-7 days, and the dose might be increased in serious cases. The vital signs, 24-hour urine output, Glasgow coma score ( GCS ), white blood cell count ( WBC ), platelet count ( PLT ), Marshall score, gastrointestinal function score, syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ), blood lactate ( Lac ), blood glucose, serum creatinine ( SCr ), and total bilirubin ( TBil ) were observed before treatment, 1, 3, and 5 days after treatment, and at the end of the treatment. The results of above mentioned parameters after the treatment were compared with that before treatment in each patient. At the same time, the occurrence and the degree of adverse reactions were recorded to evaluate the safety of Xuebijing injection. Results A total of 2 574 patients were enrolled, and in 2 509 cases the treatment was completed in, with a drop of 65 cases. 704 cases were diagnosed to have sepsis, 768 with severe sepsis, and 1 037 with MODS. According to TCM, in 1 951 cases syndrome of stasis-toxin in the interior, and in 558 syndrome of excessive exuberance of heat-toxic in the interior were diagnosed. After the treatment of Xuebijing injection combined with conventional therapy, the temperature, heart rate, respiration rate, blood pressure, WBC, PLT, GCS, 24-hour urine output, blood glucose, Lac, SCr, TBil, Marshall score, gastrointestinal function score, as well as the symptoms, signs and TCM tongue condition and pulse condition, and TCM scores were significantly improved in all patients as well as the patients with sepsis, severe sepsis, or MODS ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ). The effective rate of all patients and the patients with sepsis, severe sepsis, or MODS was 89.20%( 2 238/2 509 ), 92.76%( 653/704 ), 91.54%( 703/768 ), 85.05%( 882/1 037 ), respectively, and the 28-day survival rate was 93.90%( 2 356/2 509 ), 98.01%( 690/704 ), 96.35%( 740/768 ), 89.30%( 926/1 037 ), respectively. In 3 patients with MODS adverse events ( 0.12%) occurred, including 2 cases of stress ulcer and 1 case of Adams-Stokes syndrome. After clinical evaluation, the adverse events were found to be unrelated with the study medication, and Xuebijing injection was continued till the end of treatment. Conclusion Xuebijing injection combined with conventional therapy may effectively ameliorate systemic inflammatory response, protect organ function, alleviate the symptoms, improve organ functions, and elevate the clinical cure rate. Adverse events occur occasionally. Xuebijing injection is found to be safe.

Objective:To produce rhBMP-4 with bioactivity in E.coli. Methods: The full-length human BMP-4 gene was mutated by PCR without changes in amino acid sequence, then the synthesized gene was cloned into plasmid pET-3c, transducted into BL21(DE)plysS, and induced by adding IPTG to a final concentration of 1.0 mmol/L. The protein product was purified using ion-exchange chromatography method and then renaturated, bioactivity was checked by C2C12 differentiation in vitro and mouse ectopic bone formation in vivo. Results: A 438 bp gene fragment encoding mature peptide of hBMP-4 was cloned , the protein product was mostly in the form of inclusion body, after renaturation, the engineering protein shows better bioactivity. Conclusion:The mutant strategy can enhance the expression of bioactive rhBMP-4 in E.coli expression system.

Purpose To investigate the expression of miR200a in different lung cancer cell lines and its effect on proliferation,migration,and apoptosis in A549 cells.Methods The expressions of miR-200a in different lung cancer cell lines were detected by RT-PCR.miR-200a mimics was transfected into A549 cells by Lipofectamine RNAiMax.The change of proliferation ablility of A549 cells was detected by CCK-8 method and plate clone formation assay.Cell migration was examined by Transwell chamber assay.The flow cytometry was used to examine the changes of apoptosis.The possible target genes of miR-200a were forecasted by bioinformatics tools.Results The results of RT-PCR showed that the expression of miR-200a was significantly down-regulated in A549,H23 and H460 cell lines than 16HBE cell line.CCK-8 assay showed that the OD values of the mimics group at 4,and 5 days were significantly lower than those in the negative control (NC) group (P ＜ 0.05).Plate clone formation assay showed rate of colony formation in the mimics group was significantly lower than that in the NC group [(33.13±0.74)％ vs (45.57 ±1.27)％,P＜0.05].Transwell migration assay showed that the cell number of mimics group that passed the Transwell membrane was significantly lower than that of the NC group [(71.60 ± 17.90) vs (140.20 ± 17.88),P ＜0.05].Flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate of the mimics group was significantly higher than that of the NC group [(17.80± 1.90)％ vs (11.33 ± 1.96)％,P ＜ 0.05].Tiam1 may be one of the target gene of miR-200a.Conclusion miR-200a can inhibit the proliferation and migration,and promote apoptosis of lung cancer A549 cells,suggesting a potential new therapeutic agent for lung cancer cell.MiR-200a may play a function of regulation of tumor development through target gene Tiam1.
