The study aims to identify related substances in orlistat pharmaceutical substance from different production technologies. Advanced technologies including UPLC-QTOF-MS and UPLC-QTrap-MS were used and the structures or molecules of 10 kinds of related substances in orlistat were identified. The experimental data were valuable to the quality control and development of orlistat.

We reported 2 cases of descending neerotizing mediastinitis (DNM) and reviewed the related literatures. The etiology, clinical manifestations, imaging manifestations, diagnostic criteria and therapeutic strategies of DNM were discussed. It is concluded that descending necrotizing mediastinitis is a life-threatening disease with high mortality and is prone to be misdiagnosed. Early diagnosis, prompt application of sensitive broad-spectrum antibiotics and abscess drainage with proper surgical medality may improve the prognosis of DNM.

Objective To observe the clinical outcomes of modified posteromedial and posterolateral approaches for the treatment of posterior tibial plateau fractures.Methods Between January 2006 and October 2011,25 patients with posterior tibial plateau fracture were identified.They were 17 men and 8 women,aged from 22 to 76 years (average,46.4 years).According to the AO/OTA classification,there were 4 cases of type 41-B1,6 cases of type 41-B2 and 15 cases of type 41-B3.According to Luo's three-column classification,they were all posterior column fractures.Ten patients with posterolateral tibial plateau fracture were treated by the modified posterolateral approach and the other 15 patients with posteromedial tibial plateau fracture by the modified posteromedial approach.The posterior fractures were fixated with a buttress plate.The knee function was evaluated at the last follow-up by the The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Score.Results All the 25 cases were followed up for a mean time of 13.2 months (from 10 to 24 months).By the radiological Rasmussen criteria for fracture reduction,the mean score immediately after surgery was 16.5 points (from 13 to 18 points),with 20 excellent cases,4 good cases and one fair case.All patients were pain-free with full range of motion.Radiologically,bone union was achieved in all cases after a mean time of 13.9 weeks (from 12 to 18 weeks).No surgery-related complications were found.The mean HSS score was 91 points(range,74 to 97 points) and the good to excellent rate was 100％ (17 excellent and 8 good cases) at the last follow-up.The average range of knee motion ranged from 0° to 125°.Conclusion In the treatment of posterior tibial plateau fractures,because the modified posteromedial and posterolateral approaches can result in excellent fracture reduction under direct visualization and allow for posterior buttress plating,soft tissues can be well preserved and good functional results can be expected.

Objective To analyse CT findings and CT diagnostic value of the giant cystic lesions in abdomen.Methods CT findings of the giant cystic lesions in abdomen were retrospectively analyzed in 28 pathologically proven cases.Results In 28 cases,there were 4 cases of ovarian cystic, 1 ovarian serous cystadenoma, 1 ovarian mucinous cystadenoma, 3 giant hydronephrosis, 2 cyst of kidney, 2 cyst of ureter,3 pancreatic pseudocyst, 3 splenic cyst, 2 congenital common bile duct cyst, 1 hepatic cyst, 2 cystic lymphangioma, 1 urachal cyst, 1retroperitoneal cystic liposarcoma, 1 unmature cystic teratoma and 1 cystic metastatic carcinoma. Up to 92.9% of the giant cystic lesions inabdomen was benign. Each disease was of its own features on CT scans and certainly location.Conclusion CT is very effective imagingmodality in localization and qualitative diagnosis of the giant cystic lesions in abdomen.

[Objective] To discuss effective way for Prominent Lumbar Intervertebral Disc.[Method] Apply shinbone tube seal and dimensional traction on 118 cases of the said patients.[Result] After following up for 3~18 months,62 cases were very good,occupying 52%;43 good,36%;10 bad,8%;no effect 3,2%,the effective rate 88%.[Conclusion] It is safe and one of good therapies presently to treat Prominent Lumbar Intervertebral Disc with shinbone tube seal and dimensional traction.

Objective:To explore therapeutic effect of rehabilitation intervention on patients with diabetes mellitus (DM)complicated tuberculosis (TB).Methods:A total of 108 DM + TB patients treated in our hospital from Jan 2008 to Aug 2013 were enrolled.According to random number method,they were randomly and equally divided into rehabilitation intervention group and routine treatment group.The intervention course was eight weeks,and then rehabilitation effect was compared between two groups.Results:Compared with before treatment,after treatment, there were significant reductions in fasting blood glucose (FBG)and 2h postprandial blood glucose (2hPBG)in both groups,P <0.01 all;compared with routine treatment group,after treatment,there were significant reductions in levels of FBG [(6.77±1.82)mmol/L vs.(5.54±1.46)mmol/L]and 2hPBG [(7.94±1.83)mmol/L vs.(6.87 ±1.42)mmol/L],P <0.01 both,and significant rise in percentages of significant reduced or disappeared pleural effusion (51.85% vs.83.33%)and significant reduced or closed TB focus (44.44% vs.72.22%)in rehabilitation intervention group,P <0.01 both.Conclusion:Rehabilitation intervention can make patients get better control of blood glucose,promote absorption of pleural effusion and pulmonary tuberculosis focus.

Objective To explore the diagnostic significance of the uric acid in preeclampsia.Methods The samples were chosen between January 2008 and August 2015 in our hospital maternity clinic,at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation,singletons,1 357 cases of pregnant women,136 cases for the development of preeclampsia,and 1 221 cases of normal pregnancy.the clinical data of 1 357 cases were retrospectively analyzed.Results (1) The maternal age,birth gestational age,body mass index,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,urine protein,cholesterol,creatinine,uric acid,and uric acid increased value of the control group of preeclampsia were significandy higher than the normal group (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of preeclampsia,cesarean delivery rate,fetal growth restriction,small gestational age,and newborn asphyxia rate of high uric acid hematic disease group were significandy higher than the normal group (P ＜ 0.05).(2) Logistic regression analysis showed that systolic blood pressure,urinary protein and uric acid were the predictors,and uric acid was the best predictor.(3) By using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve,the growth of uric acid was 112 μmol/L,and the sensitivity was 85.2％,the specificity was 90.1％.Conclusions Uric acid level can be used as an important indicator to monitor the pathophysiology of preeclampsia,and uric acid value can be accurately predicted.
