Objective To establish a reversed HPLC method to determine the contents of gatifloxacin and tinidazole simultaneously. Methods ODS C_ 18 column (4.6mm?250mm,5?m) was used as an analytical column. The mobile phase consisted of 15% acetonitrile, 25% of methanol and 60% of 0.05mol/L KH_2PO_4 buffer,which contained 0.5% triethylamine and was adjusted to pH 3.5 by phosphoric acid. The flow rate was 1ml/min. The detection wavelength was 318nm. The column temperature was 30℃. 20?l of diluted sample solution was injected to the sampler. Results The calibration curve of gatifloxacin was linear in the range of 2~20?g /ml (r=0.999 6) ,and that of tinidazole was 2~20 ?g /ml (r=0.999 9). The recovery rates of them were 100.1% and 100.4%,respectively. RSDs of both drugs were less than 1.1 %. Conclusions The method is simple,accurate and sensitive and can be used to determine the two components simultaneously.

Objective: To study the optimum particle size of Cordyceps sinensis for liver fibrosis in combination with in vitro dissolution experiment from serum pharmacology. Methods: To prepare the powder samples with different grinding degrees, Cordyceps sinensis was crushed through 100-, 150-, 200-, and 300-mesh sieves. The in vitro dissolution of adenosine was measured at different time points. Meanwhile, the powder sample was ig administered to rats, and pharmacodynamic approach was adopted to study the inhibition of medicated serum on HSC-T6 proliferation. Results: The accumulative in vitro dissolution of C. sinensis by 200-300 meshes was higher than that of other meshes. Medicated serum could significantly inhibit HSC-T6 cell proliferation. The AUC of HSC-T6 inhibition kinetics of medicated serum crushed to 200-300 meshes was significantly higher than that in other groups. Conclusion: The in vitro dissolution and pharmacodynamic method could be used for the study on different particle sizes of C. sinensis for anti-hepatic fibrosis, and 200-300 meshes are the optimal particle size.

Objective To evaluate the value of spatio-temporal, image correlation (STIC) in prenatal diagnosis of complex heart malformations.Methods STIC was used to examine 25 fetuses with 20-30 weeks of gestation who were doubted with complex heart malformations prospectively by two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography.Dynamic three-dimensional imaging was achieved by postprocessing technique with STIC across the entire fetal heart and thorax.An offline analysis of the acquired volume was carried out to examine the fetal cardiac anatomy with multiplanar mode, surface rendering and minimum mode.The results of prenatal diagnosiswere compared with postnatal color Doppler and surgical findings.Results Successful STIC volume datasets were obtained in all 25 fetuses.The findings of all 25 fetus with complex heart malformations included double outlet of right ventricle in 1 case, truncus arteriosus in 1 case, complete transposition of the great arteries in 3 cases,corrected transposition of the great arteries in 1 case, complete endocardial cushion defect in 4 cases, hypoplastic right ventricle syndrome in 1 case, hypoplastic left heart syndrome in 2 cases, tricuspid atresia in 1 case,pulmonary atresia in 1 case, tetralogy of Fallot in 3 cases, single atrium in 1 case, single atrium and single ventrium in 4 cases,in 1 case, atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect with coronary sinus dilatation in 1 case.The major diagnoses derived from STIC in 23 of 25 cases were consistent with the results of postnatal color Doppler and surgical findings.Conclusions STIC can provide more accurate information of structures of complex fetal heart malformations and has great value in pregnant prognosis.

Objective To summarize the experience of diagnosis and treatment of iatrogenic injury by ureteroscopic surgery.Methods Retrospective analysis of 13 cases with iatrogenic injury by ureteroscopy from December 2008 to December 2011,including 8 men and 3 women,aged 15 to 75 years.Among the 13 cases (Holmium laser lithotripsy under ureteroscope),there were 5 cases of ureterostoma severe disruption,4 cases of submucosa injury,2 cases of perforation,1 case of disruption,and 1 case of sleeve exfoliation of mucosa.Results Among these 13 cases with iatrogenic injury by ureteroscopy,10 cases underwent double J drainage (drainage duration:60 days),and 3 cases underwent open surgery immediately.There was no hydronephrosis when examined by IVU after six months to two years follow-up.Conclusions The skills and techniques of surgical operation should be improved when performing ureteroscopic operation,and it is essential to be familiar with ureteric dissection and alignment,which can avoid ureteric injury.Indwelling D-J tube is very important in dealing with mild ureteral injury secondary to ureteroscopes.Surgical intervention should be given to severe cases of ureteric injury in time.

Objective To study the expression and significance of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase(IDO)in non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Thirty-eight cases of lung cancer tissues and 10 cases of paracancerous normal lung tissue were collected.The semiquantitative immunohistochemistry was used to detect the positive rate of IDO and fluorescent quantitative PCR to detect the level of IDO mRNA in the lung tissues respectively.Results The positive rate of IDO and the level of IDO mRNA in NSCLC group were significantly higher than in paracancerous normal lung tissues(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the positive rate of IDO and the level of IDO mRNA between the adenocarcinoma group and the squamous cell carcinoma group(P＞0.05).Statistically,there was significant difference in positive rate of IDO and the level of IDO mRNA among low,middle and high differentiation groups(P＜0.05).There was significant difference in positive rate of IDO and the level of IDO mRNA between the lymph node metastasis and non-metastasis groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion The high expression of IDO in NSCLC is correlated with the degree of differentiation and the metastasis of lymph nodes,but not with the pathological types.

Aim To investigate the effect of catalpol from Radix rehmanniae on the proliferation,differentiation and matrix mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro.Methods Catalpol from Radix rehmanniae of different concentration preparations were extracted with ethanol(catalpol ethanol-extract),respectively.A mouse osteoblast cell line MC3T3-E1 was used to determine the potency of catalpol.MTT were applied to determine proliferation of the cell treated by catalpol at different concentrations.Differentiating effects of the catalpol with different concentrations in the cell were evaluated through the examinations of alkaline phosphatase(ALP)activities and bone gla protein(BGP)levels.Von kossa staining method was used to demonstrate the effects of the catalpol on calcification of the cells.Results Catalpol at concentration from 1×10~(-7) to 1×10~(-9) mol·L~(-1) for 24 hours and 48 hours effective promoted the proliferation of osteoblasts of MC3T3-E1 cells line.Catalpol at concentration from 1×10~(-5) to 1×10~(-6) mol·L~(-1) for 48 hours and 72 hours effective stimulated the activity of ALP of osteoblasts of MC3T3-E1 cells line.Catalpol at concentration from 1×10~(-5) to 1×10~(-6) mol·L~(-1) for 8 days and 12 days effective increased the synthesis and secretion of bone gla protein(BGP) of osteoblasts of MC3T3-E1 cells line.Catalpol at concentration from 1×10~(-5) to 1×10~(-6) mol·L~(-1) for 19 days effective increased the mineralized bone nodular structure number of osteoblasts of MC3T3-E1 cells line.Conclusion Catalpol could promote proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro.Catalpol may be one of effective monomer of Radix rehmanniae on treatment of osteoporosis.

Objective To measure the range of motion (ROM) of the lumbar pedicle screw entrance point (LPSEP) in vivo during unrestricted motion under physiological weight bearing.Methods Eleven healthy volunteers aged 45-60 years underwent MRI scans in a supine position.Three-dimensional (3D) models of L2-5 were constructed.Next,each volunteer was asked to stand and was positioned in the following sequence:standing,45° flexion,maximal extension,maximal left-right twisting,while two orthogonal fluoroscopic images were taken simultaneously at each position.The MRI models were matched to the osseous outlines of the images from the two orthogonal views to determine the position of the vertebrae in 3D at each position.Coordinate systems were established to study the ROM of the LPSEP.Results The predominant translations were along anteroposterior and craniocaudal axis from supine to standing position (average,2.44mm and 2.35 mm).Rotation of the LPSEP occurred mainly around the mediolateral axis(average,3.91 °).During flexion-extension movements of the trunk,the predominant translation were along anteroposterior and craniocaudal axis and rotation were around mediolateral axis.During lateral bending and twisting,ROM of LPSEP did not rotate or translate in one dominant direction.Instead,the resulting motion represented a combination of rotation and translation in different directions.There was no significantly difference in translation and rotation between the three axis in L4,5segment (P＞0.05).Conclusion The kinematic behaviors of the LPSEP of the upper lumbar spine (L2,3 and L3,4) are similar which are different from that of the lower lumbar spine (L4,5).
