Objective To establish HPLC method for fast, effective, simultaneous determination of Vancomycin and Norvancomycin in serum. Methods The separation was achieved on the Hypersil ODS2(250 mm ×4.6 mm,5μm)with methanol-acetonitrile-a mixture of potassium phosphate (9.5:2.5:88) as the mobile phase.The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min.The UV detecting wavelength was 280 nm.The temperature of the column was 35 ℃. Vancomycin and Norvancomycin were used as the internal standard for each other .Results Vancomycin and Norvancomycin blood concentration were in well linearity in the range of 1.25-100μg/mL,R2 =0.9996.The average method recovery rate of three concentrations were 96.88%,99.50%,105.01%respectively, the average method recovery rate of three concentrations were 94.40%,103.90,103.81%respectively, the intra-day and inter-day RSD were less than 5%.Conclusion The HPLC method is proved to be simple,sensitive, accurate and precise in which little blood sample is taken, thus it is suitable for the therapeutic drug monitoring(TDM) and pharmacokinetic study of Vancomycin and Norvancomycin.

Autophagy is a process for the degradation of long half-life proteins and organelles via the lysosome system. A large body of evidence indicates that the autophagic phenomena exist in the progressive atherosclerotic plaques. Vascular smooth muscle cells, macrophages, and endothelial cells treated with some stimulants that result in atherosclerosis formation in in vitro experiments, these cells show certain autophagic features, such as myelin-like structures, accumulation of ubiquitinated inclusions in the cytoplasm, and extensive vacuolization. However, although the interests in research on autophagy are increasing, the exact role of autophagy in atherosclerosis remains unclear. Therefore, understanding the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of autophagy will provide a new idea for studying the mechanisms and treatment of atherosclerotic disease.

BACKGROUND:One function of papaver nudicaule L is its analgesic effect. Previous studies showed that total alkaloid,extracted from papaver nudicaule,possesses observable analgesic effects. Nudicauline,separated from the total alkaloid of papaver nudicaule,is a new kind of alkaloid.OBJECTIVE:To study the analgesic effect of nudicauline and its mechanism of action.DESIGN:A randomized controlled study based on the experimental animals.SETTING:Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine ,Chengde Medical Colege.MATERIALS:The experiment was conducted in the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Chengde Medical College (Key Laboratory for Research and Exploitation of Traditional Chinese Medicine) from August 2001 to December 2003.Totally 140 mice were included and randomly divided into 14 groups with 10 mice in each group in this experiment.METHODS: ① Study of the analgesic effect.The animals were randomly assigned to 5 groups:saline control group,and nudicauline 2.5,5.0 and 10.0 mg/kg groups as well as morphine group. ② relation with endor-phin.The animals were divided into 5 groups:saline control group,nudicauline +naloxone group,morphine group,and morphine +naloxone group. ③relation with nitrogen monoxide.The animals were divided into 4 groups:saline group,nudicauline group,nudicauline +L-arginine 400 mg/kg group,and n-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) 37.5 mg/kg group.Totally 20 μL 10 g/L formalin was injected into the right hindlimbs of the mice. The pain observation item:walking freely was 0 point;being lame,could stand on the floor without moving was 1 point;could lift their feet was 2 point;could shake or lick their feet was 3 points.The observation fell into 2 phases:0 to 10 minutes after pain induction was set as the first phase,and 20 to 30minutes was set as the second phase.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The pain response scores of the mice in each group under the effect of different drugs.RESULTS: ① Nudicauline reduced significantly the score of response to the pain induced by formalin in the second phase(P ＜ 0.05-0.01).The higher dosage of nudicauine had certain inhibitory effect on the pain reaction in the first phase (P ＜ 0.05).Morphine had significant inhibitory effect on the pain reaction in both phases(P ＜ 0.01). ② Naloxone could completely inhibit the analgesic effect of morphine,but had no influence on the analgesic effect of nudicauline. ③ The analgesic effect of nudicauline was partially blocked by L-arginine in the second phase and enhanced by L-NAME.CONCLUSION:Nudicauline has obvious analgesic effects,whereas opium antagonist naloxone can completely inhibit the analgesic effect of morphine,but cannot alter the effect of nudicauline,which indicates that the analgesic effect is not related to the endogenous opioid system. L-arginine can partially inhibit the analgesic effect of nudicauline while L-NAME can increase the analgesic effect of nudicauline,suggesting that the analgesic effect of nudicauline may be partially associated with the production and release of nitrogen monoxide.

Acute ischemic stroke is characterized by high morbidity,high mortality,and high disability.At present,thrombolytic therapy is the only treatment that can improve the prognosis of patients in acute phase.This article reviews the choice of time window,the primary means of thrombolytic therapy and medications,and the complications of recanalization after thrombolytic therapy.

The incidence of gastric carcinoma is increasing and lymphatic metastasis is one of the major causes of death.Vascular endothelial growth factor-C(VEGF-C),Vascular endothelial growth factor D(VEGF-D)linking their receptor(VEGFR-3)can increase lymphangiogenesis,advance lymphatic metastasis,and relate to lymphatic vessel density of tumor.More and more studies of lymphatic vessel of gastric carcinoma cause great attention.We summarizeed the mechanism of lymphangiogenesis,the new development of relationship between lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic vessel density and their clinical significance.

With worldwide improvements in the regulations of international and domestic clinical trial conductions, the quality of clinical trials and trial data management are receiving a great deal of attention. To ensure the quality of clinical trials, maintain business flexibilities and effectively utilize internal and external resources, the outsourcing model is used in the management of clinical data in operation of pharmaceutical companies. The essential criteria of a successful outsourcing mode in clinical trial are selection of qualified contract research organizations (CRO); establishment of appropriate outsourcing model, and generation of effective quality control systems to ensure the authenticity, integrity and accuracy of the clinical trial data.
