A rapid, sensitive and convenient LC-MS/MS method was developed for the determination of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in human plasma. d2-γ-Aminobutyric acid (d2-GABA) was synthesized as internal standard (IS). After extraction from human plasma by protein precipitation with acetonitrile, all analytes were separated on a Luna HILIC column (100 mm x 3.0 mm, 3 μm) using an isocratic mobile phase of water: acetonitrile: formic acid (20 : 80 : 0.12) with a flow rate of 0.5 mL x min(-1). Acquisition of mass spectrometric data was performed in multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) in positive electrospray ionization using the transitions of m/z 104 --> 69 for GABA and m/z 106 --> 71 for d2-GABA. The method was linear in the concentration range of 5.00 to 1 000 ng x mL(-1). The intra- and inter-day precisions were within 9.9%, and accuracy ranged from 99.1% to 104%, within the acceptable limit across all concentrations. The method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of GABA tablets in healthy Chinese volunteers.

To observe the effect of autologous stem cell transplantation in diabetic retinopathy.
●METHODS:Totally 58 cases (116 eyes) who underwent autologous stem cell transplantation were confirmed as no diabetic retinopathy (18 eyes), mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) (41 eyes), mid-level NPDR (51 eyes); severe NPDR (6 eyes) by ophthalmoscope directly or indirectly and fluorescence fundus angiography (FFA ). Follow - up was 6 - 12mo, the changes of retinopathy were observed.
●RESULTS: The total effective rate of vision and retinopathy was 84. 4%, 76. 7%. The results of severe NPDR was statistically worse than the other groups ( P <0. 05).
●CONCLUSlON: The stable blood glucose level and improved pancreatic function after autologous stem cell transplantation might be helpful in diabetic retinopathy, the long effects need to be researched further.

?Dry eye is a multi-factorial disease of tear film and ocular surface, and it can result in discomfort, visual disturbance and tear film instability and potential damage of ocular surface, accompanied by hyper osmolarity of tears and ocular surface inflammation. lnflammation is the key factor to dry eye. Many kinds of immune cells and inflammatory factors are involved in the occurrence and development of dry eye syndrome. Cell apoptosis, nerve dysregulation, disorders of sex hormones also play an important role in pathologic process of dry eye. Recently, while illustrating the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of dry eye has been made some progress, there is still no single standard. The possible mechanisms of ocular surface inflammation and tear dysfunction of dry eye were reviewed in this article.

0.05). There was only 2/109 cases (5.8%) need a second course of antibiotics because of likely infection and 102/109 cases (93.5%)need not any moor antibiotics. The mean period of antibiotic treatment in group Ⅰ, group Ⅱa and group Ⅱb were (1.2?0.5) days,(4.8?0.8) days and (9.3?1.8) days,respectively.There were significant differences(all P

For the problems that 3 first-class ternary hospitals which are not directly affiliated to medical universities are facing in cultivating high-educated staff's scientific abilities,analyze the importance to carry out scientific work in clinic and discuss how to improve their scientific abilities from hospitals,departments and high-educated staff themselves.

Objective To understand the therapeutic effect of clindamycin combined with compound sulfamethoxazole tablets on pneumocystis pneumonia(PCP)associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).Methods 97 AIDS patients with PCP in a hospital from January 2014 to March 2015 were randomly divided into control group (n=49,received compound sulfamethoxazole )and trial group(n=48,received clindamycin on the basis of com-pound sulfamethoxazole ),levels of partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood (PaO2 ),arterial blood oxygen satu-ration(SaO2 ),serum albumin(ALB),and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH)in two groups of patients before and after treatment were recorded.Results Levels of PaO2 ,SaO2 ,ALB,and LDH between two groups of patients before treatment was not significantly different(all P >0.05).After treatment,PaO2 in control group and trial group were (73.01 ±4.62)mmHg and(84.92 ±5.34)mmHg respectively,SaO2 were (75.81 ±4.28)% and(90.86 ±5.94)%respectively,ALB were (32.62±4.41 )g/L and(43.95 ±5.03)g/L respectively,LDH were(416.53 ±30.77)U/L and(331 .58±20.86)U/L respectively,levels of PaO2 and SaO2 in trial group were both higher than control group , difference in ALB and LDH between two groups of patients after treatment were both statistically significant(both P <0.05).The total effective rate of trial group was 89.58% (n=43),which was higher than 69.39%(n=34)in control group (χ2 =6.04,P =0.014).Conclusion Clindamycin combined with compound sulfamethoxazole tablets has good therapeutic effect on AIDS and PCP,which is worthy of clinical popularization and application.

OBJECTIVE To explore and control the related factors of nosocomial pulmonary infection in patients with extensive burn. METHODS To study retrospectively 193 hospitalized patients with extensive burn in our hospital from Jan 1997 to Oct 2004. RESULTS In 193 cases of extensive burn,there were 37 cases complicated by infection,the rate of nosocomial pulmonary infection was 19.17%.A total of 248 pathogen strains were isolated by bacterial culturing.Nosocomial pulmonary infection was closely related with such factors as aging,course of disease,burn area,burn shock with fluid resuscitation,inhalation injury,tracheotomy,antibiotic use for a long time,and so on.The mortality of 193 patients with extensive burn was 11.40%,in the infective group it was 27.03% and in the non-infective group it was 7.69%(P

?AlM:To observe the clinical effects of thelacrimal fistula excision combined with double silicone intubation in the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis with lacrimal fistula.? METHODS: Totally 25 cases ( 25 eyes ) of chronic dacryocystitis with lacrimal fistula were allocated into two groups:the double silicone intubation group of 13 cases (13 eyes) received lacrimal fistula excision combined with double silicone intubation, and the routine group of 12 cases (12 eyes) received routine dacryocystorhinotomy, we analyzed the curative effect.?RESULTS: The double silicone intubation group had a cure rate of 92. 3% (12 eyes), a effective rate of 100%, compared with the routine group had a cure rate of 91. 7%( 11 eyes ) , a effective rate of 100%, there were no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0. 05).?CONCLUSlON:Lacrimal fistula excision combined with double silicone intubation has a same effect with routine dacryocystorhinotomy in the treatment of chronic dacryocystitis with lacrimal fistula, but less invasive, no scar, less pain, and meet the patients' esthetic needs.
