Objective:
To develop the ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry ( UPLC-MS/MS ) for the determination of perfluorocarboxylic acids ( PFCAs ) in fish.
Methods:
The fish samples were extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether and purified by WAX columns. The WAX cartridges were rinsed with methanol and 25 mmol/L ammonium acetate, and the target compound residues were eluted with 0.5% ammonia methanol and then redissolved with 50% methanol aqueous solution after nitrogen blowing to nearly dry. Nine kinds of PFCAs were simultaneously quantified by UPLC-MS/MS with 1 mmol/L ammonium acetate-methanol solution as the mobile phase.
Results:
The extraction was separated well in UPLC BEH C18 column. There were good linear correlations of nine kinds of PFCAs in the range of 1.0-200.0 ng/mL, with the coefficients all more than 0.99. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.06-0.19 μg/kg and 0.19-0.62 μg/kg, respectively. The recovery rates were 70.08%-117.24% at different spiked levels ( 5.0, 25.0, 50.0 μg/kg ), and the relative standard deviations were 2.31%-19.68%.
Conclusion
Through optimizing the pretreatment conditions, the mobile phase of liquid chromatography and the detection conditions of mass spectrometry, the UPLC-MS/MS could meet the monitoring requirements of PFCAs in fish.

Objective To investigate the effect on the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) with non-contact co-culture with mechanical stimulated ligament fibroblasts. Methods A cyclic 10% uniaxia strain at 1 Hz was applied on rat pelvic ligament fibroblasts, then were co-cultured with BMSC for 3, 6 and 12 days in non-contact condition. The protein expression of collagen Ⅰ ,Ⅲ in BMSC were detected by SP method and revealed by the mean gray value. The mRNA expressions of collagens type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ in the BMSCs were measured with real-time (RT)-PCR ,and the results were indicated by the ratio between the mRNA and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) . Results (1) Protein expression; after 3 days co-culture with pelvic ligament fibroblasts, expression of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ in BMSC are 82. 4 ± 3. 4 and 76. 8 ± 2. 5. When compared with 80. 2 ± 2. 6 and 74. 6 ± 1. 1 in BMSC without co-culture, there was no significant difference (P > 0. 05) . After 6 days co-culture with pelvic ligament fibroblasts, the expression of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ of 126. 6 ±2. 2 and 118. 6 ± 1. 4 in BMSC were significantly higher than 82. 7 ±3. 0 and 76. 2 ± 1. 3 in BMSC without co-culture (P < 0. 05). Similarly, after 12 days co-culture with pelvic ligament fibroblasts, the expression of collagen Ⅰ and Ⅲ of 135. 3 ±3. 4 and 128. 7 ± 2. 6 in BMSC were significantly higher than 86. 6 ± 1. 3 and 81. 8 ± 1.4 in BMSC without co-culture (P <0.05). (2)mRNA expression:after 3 days co-culture with pelvic ligament fibroblasts , the mRNA expression of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagens in BMSC are 2. 10 ±0. 20 and 1. 20 ±0. 30. When compared with mRNA expression of 2. 01 ±0. 12 and 1. 13 ±0.21 in BMSC without co-culture, no significant difference were observed (P > 0. 05). After 6 days co-culture with pelvic ligament fibroblasts , the mRNA expressions of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagens mRNA were 5. 60 ±0. 21 and 2. 61 ±0. 20, which were significantly higher than 3. 70 ±0. 33 and 1. 82 ± 0. 14 in BMSC without coculture (P < 0. 05). After 12 days co-culture with pelvic ligament fibroblasts, the mRNA expressions of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagens of 5. 91 ±0.31 and 2. 92 ±0. 23 were significantly higher than 4. 04 ±0. 21 and 2. 04 ±0. 13 in BMSC without co-culture (P <0. 05). Conclusion Non-contact co-culture with mechanical stretch stimulated ligament fibroblasts, it might promote synthesis of types Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen in rat BMSCs and induced BMSC differentiated into pelvic ligament fibroblasts.

Objective To evaluate urgent selective arterial embolization to treat massive postpartum hemorrhage. Methods Twenty seven patients with ages of 21~53 years undengoing severe postpartunm hemorrhage, were due to centrol placenta previa, uterine atony, birth canal trauma, placenta accretio, cervical pregnancy etc. All of the patients had lost a volume of blood about 1 000ml to 5 000ml while the hemorrhage could not be controlled with vaginal packing and administration of uterotonic drugs. Urgent hemostatic embolization was performed for them. After angiography, super selective catheterization was performed for bilateal anterior division of internal iliac branch of uterine arteries and embolized with Gelfoam particles. Results Catheterization success rate was 96.3%. Angiography showed ectopic uterine artery in one case. Immediate block of hemorrhage took place in 22 cases and gradual hemostasis appeared in 4 cases, the efficacy rate was 96.3%. The one with ectopic uterine artery was operated upon to ablate the uterus. 11 patients with (bleeding) shock and 8 patients with DIC were all saved. Conclusions Urgent arterial embolization is an ideal method for treating life threatening postpartum hemorrhage. The procedure saves the maternal uterus and is also effective for postpartum DIC.

The purpose of this paper is to study the pattern of change which are age associated,so as to provide a new method of age estimation by bone for forensic medicine and anthropology.The middle one third of right ribs were collected from 67 Chinese females living in North China.Decalcified cross section slides were histomorphometrically examined by using an image analyzer.Then the parameters were subjected to multiple stepwise regression analysis to produce an equation:=31 264+0 868X 2+286 693X 4+0 689 X 7-778 874X 8-0 006X 9.The multiple correlation coefficient and standard error of estimate were 0 923 and 4 08,respectively.When the formula was checked by 25 specimens,84% of the estimated ages fall within ?5 years of actual ages,and 100% of the estimated ages fall within ?8 years of actual ages.This showed that female ages could be deter mined by the histomorphometry of ribs.

Object To develop an improved RP-HPLC method for determining ferulic acid in the human serum. Methods The determination was carried on RP-HPLC, using Kromasil-C 18column, methanol-water-acetic acid (36.4∶63∶0.6) as mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and at the detection wavelength of 322 nm, and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde was used as internal standard. The serum sample was deproteinized with acetonitrile to extract ferulic acid. Results The calibration curve showed good linearity over the range of 9.94-159.04 ng/mL (r=0.992 5). RSD was less than 10% within day and day-to-day, the average recovery was 99.77% and the minimal concentration in serum was 5 ng/mL. Conclusion This method, which is simple, rapid, sensitive, reproducible and low toxic, is appropriate for the quantitative determination of ferulic acid in the human serum.
