OBJECTIVE:To establish a HPLC method for the determination of levofloxacin hydrochloride in the levoflo_ xacin hydrochloride ointment.METHODS:The chromatographic column was C 18 ,the mobile phase was consisted of0.05mol/L citric acid-acetonitrile(85∶15)with detection wavelength at293nm and flow speed at1.0ml/min,the column temperature was40℃and the sample size was10?l.RESULTS:Good linear relation was achieved when the levofloxacin hydrochloride concen-tration was at the range of3.88～37.88ug/ml(r=0.9998);The average recovery was99.4%(n=9).CONCLUSION:This determination method is accurate,reliable and it can act as an effective quality control for levofloxacin hydrochloride ointment.

Objective To look into the experience and feels of the family caregivers of brain tumor patients undergoing surgery. Methods The phenomenological methodology was used in the study. Eighteen family caregivers nursing brain tumor patients were selected as our target. Semi-structured interviews were performed to investigate their feelings and experience during the preoperative period. Result Three topics from our study were concluded: inappropriate emotional reaction, inexperience in the disease management and insufficiency in social support. Conclusion Medical staff and institutions should provide emotional, nursing technical support and professional knowledge for the caregivers so that they can improve their adaption ability and relieve the stress.

Objepctive To explore the protective effect of modified recombinant human aFGF ( Mrh-aFGF) on the neurons in ventral tegmental area of rats with Parkinson’ s disease ( PD) . Methods The 54 SD rats were ramdomly divided into the control group,the model group and the treatment group,and there were 18 rats in each group. PD rats of the model group and the treatment group were induced by in-jecting 6-OHDA into the left substantia nigra compacta ( SNC) and ventral tegmental area ( VTA) to build the PD model. Rats in the treat-ment group were given Mrh-aFGF injection after lateral ventricle injection,and the behavioral changes of the rats were detected after apomor-phine injection. The morphologic features and pathological changes of neurons in the ventral tegmental area were observed by Nissl’ s staining and electronic microscope. Results Compared to the right VTA of PD rats,the number of neurons in left side ( the injured side) decreased significantly in the model group(P<0. 05). In the treatment group,the structure of left (the injured side) VTA was markedly improved and the number of neurons was increased one week,two weeks and four weeks after operation compared with the model group (P<0. 05). The neurons in the VTA of the model group were found to have karyopyknosis,endoplasmic reticulum,degranulation,mitochondria swelling,cristae disappear,pre-synaptic and post-synaptic membranes swelling,and synaptic cleft disappear. In the treatment group,the ultrastructure of the neurons in the VTA,such as nuclei,mitochondria,synaptic structure,kept well compared to the model group. Conclusion Mrh-aFGF could protect the neurons in the ventral tegmental area from the loss and improve the ultrastructure of the neurons of PD rats.

Objective To evaluate the effects of stepwise and fine-grained dietary management on the diet control of liver cirrhosis patients complicated with gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Methods Eighty liver cirrhosis patients complicated with gastrointestinal hemorrhage were assigned to experimental group (41 cases) and control group(39 cases) by random digits table method. The patients in experimental group were treated with stepwise and fine-grained dietary management and the patients in control group were given conventional dietary treatments. The compliance diet, mastery of nutrition knowledge, malnutrition risk at admission, intake food, discharge and 2 months after discharge between two groups were monitored. The incidence of rebleeding was tracked after 1 year of discharge. Results The incidence of malnutrition risk in Child-Pugh class C was higher than that in Child-Pugh class B( Z=-4.3, P<0.05 ) . The incidence of malnutrition risk in patients with high education level was lower than that in patients with lower education( r=-0.453, P<0.05 ). The experimental group significantly outperformed control group in mastery of nutrition knowledge at discharge:80(70, 84) points vs. 52(42, 64) points, in compliance diet and malnutrition risk after 2 months after discharge:86(76, 91)%vs. 53(46,57)%, 1(1, 2) points vs. 2(1,3) points, the rebleeding rate in experimental group was significantly less than that in control group within 1 year after discharge 14.6%(6/41) vs. 35.9%(14/39), and the differences were statistically significant between two groups ( χ2 = 4.226- 51.232, all P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Stepwise and fine-grained dietary management can improve the mastery of nutrition knowledge, compliance diet and nutritional status, and reduce the occurrence of rebleeding, worth popularizing further in clinical care of liver cirrhosis patients complicated with gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

Quantitative NMR (qNMR) is a technology based on the principle of NMR. This technology does not need the references of the determined components, which supplies a solution for the problem of reference scarcity in the quantitative analysis of traditional Chinese medicines. Moreover, this technology has the advantages of easy operation, non-destructiveness for the determined sample, high accuracy and repeatability, in comparison with HPLC, LC-MS and GC-MS. NMR technology has achieved quantum leap in sensitivity and accuracy with the development of NMR hardware. In addition, the choice of appropriate experimental parameters of the pre-treatment and measurement procedure as well as the post-acquisition processing is also important for obtaining high-quality and reproducible NMR spectra. This review summarizes the principle of qHNMR, the various experimental parameters affecting the accuracy and the precision of qHNMR, such as signal to noise ratio, relaxation delay, pulse width, acquisition time, window function, phase correction and baseline correction, and their corresponding optimized methods. Moreover, the application of qHNMR in the fields of quantitation of single or multi-components of traditional Chinese medicines, the purity detection of references, and the quality analysis of foods has been discussed. In addition, the existing questions and the future application prospects of qNMR in natural product areas are also presented.
