The synchronous fluorescence spectra of myoglobin were studies for the first time. The fluorescence peaks observed in the spectra were assigned. When the wavelength interval (Δλ) is 80 nm, the main peak at 335 nm is originated from the tryptophan residues in the myoglobin molecule. When Δλis 20 mn, the peak at 308 nm is mainly due to the tyrosine residues in the myoglobin molecule and in a small part due to the tryptophan residues.Two peaks at 322 and 596 nm were observed in the spectrum of myoglobin for Δλ = 40 nm. The peak at 322 nm is due to both tyrosine and tryptophan residues. The peak at 596 nm is attributed to the heme group in the myoglobin molecule .

Objective To observe the clinical therapeutic effect of Xuebijing injection on vascular endothelial cell ( VEC) injury,microcirculation disorder and organ dysfunction in patients with sepsis. Methods Seventy?three patients with sepsis were randomly divided into two groups:Xuebijing injection?treated group (40 cases) and control group (33 cases). Routine medicine therapy was applied in both groups. Additionally, the Xuebijing injection?treated group was treated with Xuebijing injection 100 ml and saline 100 ml by intravenous drip every 12 hours for consecutive 5 days. Vascular endothelial injury index, including soluble thrombomodulin( sTM) ,vascular endothelial growth factor 2 ( VEGF?2) ,endothelial specific molecule 1 ( ESM?1),microcirculation index of arterial blood lactic acid (Lac),central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2),total microvessel density (TVD),the perfusion vascular density (PVD),proportion of perfused vessels (PPV) and microvessel flow index ( MFI) of the two groups before and after therapy were observed and the sequential organ failure score ( SOFA) was recorded before and after treatment. Results Senventy?three patients with sepsis had different degrees of increase in vascular endothelial damage markers,lactate and sequential organ failure scores in arterial blood, while the central venous blood oxygen saturation ( ScvO2 ) , the total vascular density of the sublingual microvasculature ( TVD) ,perfused vessel density ( PVD) ,proportion of perfused vessels ( PPV) and microcirculatory flow index ( MFI) decreased before treatment. After 5?day treatment,the above indicators of all patients were improved,the indexes in the Xuebijing injection group decreased significantly,compared with the control group ,sTM ( (16. 91±4. 55) μg/L,(19. 51±4. 09) μg/L,t=-6. 021,P<0. 05),VEGF?2 (50. 8 (17. 8,127. 7) ng/L vs. 74. 9(22. 7,155. 1) ng/L,t=4. 227,P<0. 05),ESM?1 ( (10. 20 ±2. 43) μg/L vs. (14. 80±3. 52) μg/L,t=-4. 113,P<0. 05),Lac( (2. 1±0. 7) mmol/L vs. (3. 7±1. 1) mmol/L,t=2. 366,P<0. 05) and SOFA ( (5. 9±2. 1) vs. (8. 7±2. 6),t=-7. 990,P<0. 05). ScvO2( (0. 771±0. 153) % vs. (0. 641±0. 113) %,t=5. 061,P<0. 05),PVD ( (16. 8±6. 1) mm/mm2 vs. (12. 1±5. 1) mm/mm2,t=4. 002, P<0. 05),PPV ( (66. 2±21. 3) % vs. (50. 4±19. 3) %,t=-2. 550,P<0. 05) and MFI (6. 2 ±2. 4) vs. (3. 8 ±2. 2),t=-5. 001,P<0. 05) were significantly higher than those in the control group in the same period. sTM and PPV had a significant negative correlation (r=-0. 755,P=0. 000),PVD,PPV,ESM?1 and MFI were negatively correlated (r=-0. 665,P=0. 000; r=-0. 600,P=0. 000; r=-0. 469,P=0. 000),PPV,MFI and SOFA were negatively correlated ( r=-0. 798,P=0. 000;r=-0. 995,P=0. 000);sTM,ESM?1 and SOFA were significantly positively correlated ( r = 0. 883, P = 0. 000;r = 0. 881, P = 0. 000 ) .

OBJECTIVE To synthesize[3H]labelled trantinterol and determine the mass balance in rats and the profile of trantinterol and its metabolites in excreta. METHODS [3H]Trantinterol was synthesised from the intermediate1-(4-amino-3-chloro-5-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-2-bromo-ethanone through reduction by sodium borotritide and aminolysis by t-butylamine. Following an oral dose of[3H] trantinterol(45.5 MBq·kg-1)to bile duct cannulated(BDC)rats and normal rats. Bile,urine and faeces were collected individually before and after dosing at different times. Liquid scintillation counter(LSC) was used to detect total radioactivity recovery and HPLC/radio-detector for metabolite profiling in urine and bile. RESULTS The majority(73.6%)of the administered radioactivity was recovered in the first 24 h postdose with 48.3%in urine and 25.4%in faeces. It was cumulated to(84.7±6.8)%till 168 h. In BDC rats,29.3%of the dose was recovered in the bile 3 d post-dose. According to the peak area ratio determined by HPLC/radio-detector,only 4.7%and 9.5%of the radioactive dose were excreted as the parent drug in urine and bile,respectively,while the majority of the remaining radioactivity was excreted in the form of various metabolites. CONCLUSION Following oral administration in rats,trantinterol is completely absorbed,extensively metabolized and rapidly excreted mainly in urine as various metabolites.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment for intracranial venous sinus thrombosis based on individual condition. Methods Twelve patients with intracranial venous sinus thrombosis were treated with endovascular management according to the severity and course of disease after they failed to respond to anticoagulant therapy. The clinical signs and symptoms,cerebrospinal fluid pressure and arteriovenous circulation time were observed and followed up (including MRV). Intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombus maceration were carried out in all 12 patients,while intravenous thrombolysis, mechanical thrombus maceration in combination with intra-arterial thrombolysis were employed in 3. After the treatment, anticoagulant therapy was carried out for 6 months.The patients were followed up for 12 to 24 months. Results Of the twelve patients, clinical signs and symptoms included slight headache (2 cases), mild hemiplegia (1 case), ambiopia or blurred vision (3 cases). The cerebrospinal fluid pressure returned to under 26 cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0.098 kPa)following treatment from 28 to 38 cm H2O [ mean (32. 4 ±3.0) cm H2O] in preoperative measurement and the arteriovenous circulation time returned to below 10 s in all patients following treatment. Neither recurrence of thrombosis nor new symptoms of neurologic dysfunction was observed. No procedure-related intracranial or systemic hemorrhagic complications occurred both during and after the operation with the exception of a subcutaneous bleeding at the venopuncture site. Conclusion Endovascular treatment is effective and safe for patients with intracranial venous sinus thrombosis.

AIM:To determine the effect of rhBMP2 on the migration of human breast cancer cells MCF-7. METHODS:MCF-7 was induced by rhBMP2 (30 ?g/L) for 24 h. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to observe the changes in cell morphology. Cell migration and invasion abilities were assayed by scratch healing and transwell experiments. RESULTS:The formation of lamellipodia and cell polarity together with increased cell length were observed in the cells treated with rhBMP2,whereas lamellipodia of cells in control group were not obvious and the majority of cells tended to be rounder with shorter cell diameter. Compared to control group,scratch healing and transwell experiments showed that the migration and invasion capacity of rhBMP2-induced MCF-7 cells was markedly enhanced. CONCLUSION:rhBMP2 induces human breast cancer cell MCF-7 to present the phenotype of migration and enhances the invasion capacity.

Objective:To explore and compare the value of radiomic features based on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET and CT in distinguishing epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Methods:Pretreatment 18F-FDG PET/CT images and EGFR gene status of 114 patients (64 males and 50 females, aged range: 35-84 (average age: 61) years) with primary lung adenocarcinoma between January 2017 and December 2017 were retrospectively collected. The volume of interest was drawn manually slice by slice, then the features were extracted by the LIFEx software. The parameters were screened by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method for 200 times, and ten-fold cross-validation was used to select the best tuning parameter λ. Three models, namely M PET, M CT, M PET+ CT, were constructed by binary logistic stepwise regression. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated and the corresponding area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were calculated. The AUCs of three models were compared by Delong test. Results:Totally, 53.51%(61/114) patients were with wild type EGFR and 46.49%(53/114) patients had EGFR mutation. There were 3, 3, 7 parameters selected to form M PET, M CT, M PET+ CT, respectively. The AUCs for M PET, M CT, M PET+ CT were 0.730, 0.752 and 0.866 respectively. When the cut-off values were 0.427, 0.522, 0.378 for M PET, M CT and M PET+ CT, the Youden index were up to the maximum as 0.420, 0.405, 0.630, with sensitivities of 83.0%(44/53), 58.5%(31/53), 92.5%(49/53), specificities of 59.0%(36/61), 82.0%(50/61), 70.5%(43/61) and accuracies of 70.2%(80/114), 71.1%(81/114), 80.7%(92/114), respectively. There was no significant difference between AUC of M PET and M CT ( z=-0.320, P>0.05). The differences of AUCs between M PET+ CT and M PET, M PET+ CT and M CT were statistically significant ( z values: 2.963, 2.523, both P<0.05). Conclusions:PET, CT and PET+ CT radiomic features are all associated with EGFR gene expression in lung adenocarcinoma. M PET+ CT has the highest predictive efficiency.
