Objective To develop an assay method for quantitative analysis of cocaine in rat's serum by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Method Serum samples (30?l) were extracted with 2% isoamyl alcohol and hexane. The organic phase was extracted with 0.1 mol/L HC1. The quantitative analysis was achieved by using a 5?m reversed-phase Kromasil CIS column with mobile phase of 0.04mol/ L phosphate buffer solution (containing 0.26 mmol/L tetrabutylammonium chloride , pH3.2) - acetonitrile (83:17). The wave length of the ultraviolet detection was performed at 235nm. Results The lowest limit of the detection limit was 25ng/ml. The recovery of the cocaine was 71 %. Conclusion The method is sensitive, simple and easy to perform.

Objective Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs)can induce apoptosis in gastric cancer cell and the mechanism is not clear. We aimed to study the mechanism of selective COX 2 inhibitor Nimesulide induced apoptosis of human gastric cancer line SGC 7901 by detecting the expressions of COX 2 at mRNA level, c myc, Bcl 2 and caspase 3 at protein level. Methods Apoptosis was determined by electronic microscopy, Annexin V FITC staining and flow cytometry. The mRNA of COX 2 was detected by RT PCR. The protein expressions of c myc, Bcl 2 and caspase 3 were examined by immunohistochemistry. Results Nimesulide of 50 ?mol/L at 48 and 72 h, and of 100 ?mol/L and 200 ?mol/L at 24, 48 and 72 h induced apoptosis of gastric cancer cells in a dose and time dependent manner.Their apoptotic rates were 7.51%, 9.86% and 11.58%, 12.45%, 16.66% and 12.21%, 15.38%, 20.28% respectively. It increased c myc and caspase 3 expression and decreased Bcl 2 expression and COX 2 mRNA expression. The positive protein expression rates of Bcl 2, c myc and capase 3 were (20.2?7.6)%,(49.2?15.1)% and (34.6?12.9)% respectively with Nimesulide of 200 ?mol/L at 72 h,while the controls being (44.6?12.1)%, (24.7 ?9.5)% and (14.8?6.4)% the three comparative P

Objective To analyzes the CT manifestations of pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH). Methods CT features of 11 patients with PLCH proved pathologically were analyzed retrospectively. Results The main findings in 11 PLCHs were cysts and nodules. Two cases only had cysts,and 1 only had nodules, which most had cavitations. The other 8 cases showed cysts and nodules with 4 cases mainly manifested with cysts and nine mainly manifested with nodules. Two cases had pulmonary interstitial changes. One case only had cysts in the left upper lung field and 10 cases had lesions not only in the upper and middle but in the lower lung field, which 2 cases had more lesions in the lower and costophrenic angle field and 8 cases had less lesions in the costo-phrenic angle field. Three of these 8 cases had more lesions in the superior lobe and apical segment of lower lobe. Conclusion CT manifestations of PLCH are helpful for the early diagnosis.

OBJECTIVETo compare clinical effects between percutaneous compressing plating (PCCP) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) for the treatment of patients with intertrochanteric fracture with risk external wall.

METHODSFrom September 2007 to June 2010, 43 patients with intertrochanteric fracture with risk external wall were treated by PCCP or PFNA according to different kinds of internal fixations. There were 22 cases in PCCP, including 9 males and 13 females with an average age of 68.4 (ranged, 60 to 86) years old, and 13 cases with type A2.2 and 9 cases with type A2.3; while 21 cases in PFNA, including 7 males and 14 females with an average age of 67.7 (ranged, 57 to 93) years old, and 10 cases with type A2.2 and 11 cases with type A2.3. Blood loss, operation time, hospital stay, fracture healing time, complications and Harris score after 1 years' following-up were observed and compared.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up for 12 to 22 (means 18.4) months, and all patients were obtained fracture healing, and recovered walking ability as before injury. There were no significant differences in blood loss, operation time, hospital stay, fracture healing time, complications and Harris score after 1 years' following-up (P>0.05). One case occurred displacement on the top of greater trochanter, and 1 case injuried weakness of hip abduction. One case occurred screw breakage in PCCP, while 1 case occurred hip joint pain in PFNA.

CONCLUSIONBoth of PCCP and PFNA in treating patients with intertrochanteric fracture with risk external wall can receive good clinical effects, while the effects and therapy strategy for displacement of bone on the top of lateral wall should further study.

AIM To develop a murine model for investigating the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure on the development of fetal nerve system. METHODS A nutritionally paired control group of dams injected with saline and pair fed with the COC dams were set up. Another two groups were COC groups injected with cocaine HCl and SAL group administrated with saline. After injection twice daily during gestation days 8～17,mice were decapitated on E17 and blood and brain samples were collected for pharmacological analysis and neurotransmitter analysis by HPLC.RESULTS Pharmacological analysis revealed that cocaine was found in maternal and fetal plasma at 15 min following ip administration to embryonic day E17 pregnant mice. Though COC dams and SPF dams had the same feeding condition, compared with the latter, the former had higher maternal concentrations of DA and 5 HT, lower fetal weight, brain weight, striatum weight and higher concentrations of DA and 5 HT in striatum, P

AIM To investigate the effects of in utero cocaine exposure on the fetal development, when fetuses were exposed to equal total dose but different dose and timing. METHODS Pregnant dams were randomly separated into three groups: SAL, COC20 and COC40. On E17, recorded body weight, brain weight and striatum weight of all groups, and examined the concentrations of DA and 5 HT in fetal striatum by HPLC. RESULTS Body weight of SAL, COC40, COC20 groups decreased progressively in turns. Brain weight of COC20 group and COC40 group was lower than that of SAL. Only the brain/body ratio of COC40 was decreased ( P

Objective To study the fetal developmental regulation and gestational weeks at labor for triplets pregnancies Methods To detect biparietal diameters and femoral length at different gestational weeks, record gestational weeks of labor and birth weights, and compare with those of singletons Results The fetal development of triplets slowed down from the beginning of the 28th gestational week compared with that of singletons (the mean difference was 2 1mm and 3 1 mm respectively, P

Objective To study the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure on the development of offspring's brains by building a murine model. Methods We weighted the body weight and brain weight of offspring on P10 from COC and SAL groups and observed the development of neuron and astrocyte in cerebral cortex by toluidine blue staining and immunohistochemistry. Results The brain weight and body weight from COC were both reduced on P10 compared with SAL group.We discovered prenatal cocaine exposure induced polarity disorder and dysplasia of neuron in cerebral cortex;the number of the astrocytes in corpus callosum and hippocampus regions decreased.Conclusion\ Pregnatal cocaine exposure can result in abnormal development of cerebral cortex of offsprings which may play an important role on cocaine induced abnormal behavior.\;[

As a clean, efficient, and renewable energy, hydrogen is regarded as a promising alternative. Because of using biomass as substrate, microbial fermentative hydrogen production can meet the need of sustainable development. The factors affecting the process of microbial fermentative hydrogen production, are analyzed in this paper on the basis of microorganisms, substrates, products and operative parameters. The parameters related to hydrogen production from organic wastes, are also mentioned.
