OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of carboprost and Foley catheter for the expand cervix before hys-teroscopic electric resection. METHODS:80 patients with hysteroscopic operation were randomly divided into research group and control group. Research group was placed inside the vagina carboprost 1 mg 30 minutes before operation;control group was placed inside the Foley catheter 12 hour before operation. The relaxation degree of the cervix,average operative time,preoperative pain, postoperative morbidity and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:There were no significant differ-ences in the relaxation degree of the cervix,postoperative morbidity and incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups(P>0.05). The average operative time and preoperative pain in research group were significantly better than control group,the differ-ence was statistically significant(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Carboprost and Foley catheter have good efficacy and safety for ex-pand cervix before hysteroscopic electric resection,however,carboprost is better than Foley catheter in terms of average operative time and preoperative pain.

Objective To explore the relationship between children obesity and adiponectin(ADPN),leptin(LP),and high-sensitive C-reactive protein(hsCRP).Methods Seventy-one obese volunteers as obesity group and 30 normal volunteers who matched obese volunteers in age and sex as control group were selected from 13 702 children and adolescents of 2 to 18 years old in Xiangtan city by sampling survey.The body mass index(BMI),ADPN,LP,hsCRP,fasting blood-glucose(FBG),and fasting pure insulin(INS) were checked respectively.The homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR) and the quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index(QUICKI) were calculated.The difference between the two groups was compared and the relationship of all indexes was analyzed.Results The values of ADPN and QUICKI in obesity group were significantly lower than those of control group(P

This study was designed to analyze the effect of the mitochondrial respiratory pathways of Candida albicans (C.albicans) on the biofilm formation.The 2,3-bis (2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) reduction assay was used to measure the metabolic activities of biofilms formed by the C.albicans which were cultured in the presence of respiratory pathways inhibitors.The biofilms formed by the wide type (WT),GOA1-deleted (GOA31),GOA1-reconstituted (GOA32),AOX1a-deleted (AOX1) and AOX1b-deleted (AOX2) C.albicans strains were examined by the XTT reduction assay and fluorescence microscopy.The expression of adhesion-related genes BCR1,ALS1,ALS3,ECE1 and HWP1 in the biofilms formed by the above five C.albicans strains was detected by real time polymerase chain reaction.It was found that the metabolic activity of biofilms formed by C.albicans was decreased in the presence of alternative oxidase inhibitor whereas it was increased in the presence of classical mitochondrial respiratory pathway complex Ⅲ or complex Ⅳ inhibitor.AOX1 strain produced scarce biofilms interspersed with few hyphal filaments.Moreover,no significant changes in the expression of BCR1 and ALS3 were observed in the AOX1 strain,but the expression of ALS1 and ECE1 was down-regulated,and that of HWP1 was up-regulated.These results indicate that both AOX1 and AOX2 can promote the biofilm formation.However,AOX1a primarily plays a regulatory role in biofilm formation in the absence of inducers where the promoting effect is mainly achieved by promoting mycelial formation.

Based on Staphylococcus aureus 16S rRNA gene sequences,sequence comparisons have been applied to design a kind of stem-loop structured oligonucleotide probes whose loop sequence mismatched other bacterial strains 16S rRNA gene sequences in more than two positions with high specificity and sensitivity.According to the principle of molecular beacon technology and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,a method has been evaluated using immobilized stem-loop structured oligonucleotides probe as the conformation switch which is applied to enzymatic detection of nucleic acid targets.As its specificity has been strengthened,the system is able to successfully eliminate false-positive result that is mismatch in an oligonucleotide.Employing a microtiter assay format,4ng of S.aureus 16S rRNA could be detected at least.This approach is more sensitive than other conventional method at least one order of magnitude.

In order to evaluate the characteristics of the spray drying of total flavonoids of Epimedium extracts assisted with soybean polysaccharide, a certain percentage of soybean polysaccharide or polyvidone were added to the total flavonoids of Epimedium extract to conduct the spray drying. The effect of soybean polysaccharides against the wall sticking effect of the spray drying was detected, as well as the powder property of total flavonoids of Epimedium spray drying powder and the dissolution in vitro behavior of the effective component. Compared with the total flavonoids of Epimedium spray drying powder, soybean polysaccharide revealed a significant anti-wall sticking effect. The spray drying power which had no notable change in the grain size made a increase in the fluidity, improvement in the moisture absorption and remarkable rise in the dissolution in vitro behavior. It was worth further studying the application of soybean polysaccharide in spray drying power of traditional Chinese medicine.

To compare the pharmacokinetics of syringin, eleutheroside E and isofraxidin after intravenous administration of each monomer and Ciwujia injection. Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups and intravenously administrated with syringin, eleutheroside E, isofraxidin, and Ciwujia injection, respectively. The concentrations of the three components in rat plasma were determined by LC-MS/MS. DAS 2.0 software was applied to calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters while the SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Significant difference (P < 0.05) was found between each monomer and the injection on the main pharmacokinetic parameters such as AUC, CL and t1,/2. Compared with the injection, the group treated with the syringin has obvious decrease in AUC, and increase in CL while the group treated with eleutheroside E has obvious increase in AUC, and decrease in CL The t1/2 of isofraxidin was prolonged in Ciwujia injection. Pharmacokinetic characters of the ingredients in the injection varied greatly from the monomer. Other constituents in the injection may have an impact on the pharmacokinetic profiles of these three components.

To establish a method for the determination of cucurbitacin in plasma samples, in order to study the in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics of cucurbitacin in rats. Rats were intravenously injected with cucurbitacin. With diphenhydramine as the internal standard (IS), the plasma concentrations of cucurbitacin in rat plasma at different time points were determined by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). With electrospray ionization source, the positive ion detection in the multiple reaction monitoring mode was conducted to determine the ion-pairs for target compound and IS were m/z 503.2/113.1 and m/z 256.0/167.2, respectively. Agilent ZOBAX SB-C18 column (2.1 mm x 50 mm, 1.8 microm) was adopted and eluted with methanol and 0.1% formic acid (55:45), and the flow rate was 0.2 mL x min(-1). DAS 2.0 software was applied to fit the blood concentration and calculate corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters. The rats were intravenously injected with cucurbitacin at the concentration of 3.0 mg x kg(-1). The target blood quality concentration show good linear relations within the range of 10.5-3 150 microg x L(-1) (R2 = 0.996), the lower limit of the standard curve was 10.5 microg x L(-1), and the signal to noise ratio S/N = 12. Intra- and inter-day precisions RSD was less than 6.9% and 14%, respectively; The accuracy RE ranged between 0.20% and 3.7%; The extraction recoveries ranged between 92.7% and 97.1%. Regarding the pharmacokinetic parameters of tail intravenous injection of cucurbitacin, AUC (0-t) was (811.615 +/- 111.578) microg x h x L(-1), (t1/2) was (1.285 +/- 1.390) h, CL was (3.627 +/- 0.487) L x h x kg(-1), and V(d) was (6.721 +/- 7.429) L x kg(-1). In this study, researchers established a simple, accurate, sensitive and highly specific method for determining the blood concentration of cucurbitacin, and reported the in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics of cucurbitacin in rats for the first time.
