Objective To determine enantiomeric impurity of etomidate using high performance liquid chromatography. Methods (R)-etomidate and (S)-etomidate were isopropanol-n-hexane. The flow rate of the mobile phase was 0.5mL/min. The detected wavelength was 242nm. Results (R)-etomidate and (S)-etomidate could be separated completely under these conditions. The precision of (R)-etomidate was 1.57% (n=3). The limit of detection of (R)-etomidate was 4.25ng/mL. The average percentage content of (S)-etomidate was 0.09% in the samples. Conclusion The method was repeatable and sufficiently sensitive to determine the enantiomeric impurity of etomidate. It allows the quantitation of the impurities at the 0.085% (w/w) level relative to etomidate at a concentration of the test solution of 5mg/mL.

Objective To compare the effects of loop electrosurgical excision procedure(LEEP knife)and microwave on cervical erosion and study the nursing effects.Methods One hundred and fifty cases of cervical erosion patients from January to December 2013 in our hospital were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group with 75 cases in each group.Patients in the observation group were treated with LEEP knife and the control group with microwave treatment.All patients were nursed conventionally.The operative time,blood loss and efficacy of two groups were analyzed.Result Patients in the observation group had less blood loss,shorter operation time and a better curative effect than the control group with statistical difference(all P<0.05).Conclusions Compared with microwave treatment,LEEP knife can effectively treat the cervical erosion.Preparation before operation,mental care and knowledge-related nursing are critical for the smooth manipulation of the operation.

Aim To investigate the effects of intrathecal levobupivacaine(LB)on substance P(SP)expression in spinal dorsal horn(L4~5)and the distal cerebrospinal fluid contacting neuron(dCSF-CN)in a rat model of formalin induced inflammatory pain.Methods Twelve male Sprague-Dawley rats(290~310 g,Grade SPF)were randomly divided into 2 groups with 6 in each.Rats were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital(40 mg?kg-1,ip)and then fixed in the stereotaxic instrument.A 3 ?l volume of 30% CB-HRP to trace dCSF-CN was injected into one of the rats'lateral ventricles.The animals kept alive,forty eight hours later artificial cerebrospinal fluid(ACSF)10 ?l and 0.5% LB 10 ?l(diluted with ACSF)were intrathecally injected in group ACSF and group LB respectively.Inflammatory pain was induced by formalin injection into left hind paw.Then nociception of the animals was assessed behaviorally with the formalin test.Two hours after formalin administration,rats were sacrificed with deeply anesthesia and transcardially perfused.L4~5 segments of spinal cord were removed for immunohistochemical SP-labeling.Brainstem segments containing dCSF-CN were removed for SP/CB-HRP dual-labeling with immunohistochemical procedures and colloidal gold immunoelectronmicroscopy.Results LB significantly reduced paw licking time in the formalin test(P 0.05vsbaseline,P

Objective To investigate the effect of JUC on the incisions for episiotomy.Methods Three hundred primiparas to undergo episiotomy in our hospital were divided into two groups in equal number.The experiment group was given JUC Spray before suturing and the control group did not use any solution.In the two groups,antibiotics were not used after the operation,and the incisions were only cleaned with 0.5%povidone-iodine 2 times a day.Result There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of postoperative pains,inflammation and healing in the wounds,and hospital stay(P<0.05).Conclusions Application of JUC after episiotomy could be long-acting in antibacteria.It can reduce wound pain,improve wound healing rate, decrease the medical cost and shorten the hospital stay.

Objective To study the effects of recruitment maneuver (RM) strategy on respiratory mechanics and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) in patients with ARDS. Method Thirty patients with ARDS were randomly divided into RM group and non-RM group. In the RM group, the patients were stabilized with basic mechanical ventilation support for 30 minutes, and then the RM was carried out and repeated once every 12 hous for 3 days. In the non-RM group, patients were supported with mechanical ventilation without RM. The variables of oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2), peak inspiration pressure (PIP), plateau pressure (Pplat), static pulmonary compliance (Cst) and EVLWI of patients in both groups were determined before treatment and 12 h,24 h, 48 h and 72 h after treatment, and were compared them between two groups. The hemodynamic changes were monitored before and after RM.One-way ANOVA, t -test and Fisher probabilities in 2/2 table were used to process the data. Results ( 1 ) The PaO2/FiO2 and Cst in two groups showed upward trend after treatment, but they were higher in RM group than those in non-RM group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). The PIP and Pplat of two groups both had downward trend after treatment, but they were significantly lower in RM group than those in group non-RM (P ＜0.05). (2) The EVLWI of two groups showed downward trend after treatment ( P ＜ 0.05), and the differences were significant at all intervals (F: 22.392, 8.147, P ＜ 0.01). The EVLWIs in group RM were lower than those in group non-RM at the intervals of 12 h,24 h, 48 h and 72 h separately (P ＜0.05 or P ＜ 0.01). (3) There were transient hemodynamic changes occurred during RM, and compared with pre-RM, the changes were significantly different ( P＜ 0.01 ). Compared with pre-RM, the hemodynanic changes were not significantly different 120 seconds after the end of RM ( P ＞ 0.05). Conclusions RM could reduce the EVLWI, increase oxygenation and lung compliance.The effect of RM on hemodynamics was transient.

Objective:To study deeply on the effects of sinomenine on Th1 type cytokines expression of T lymphocytes.Methods:The authors isolated and cultured the mesenteric lymph nodes of mice in vitro.The lymphocytes were stimulated with PDB and inomycin after added sinomenine in different concentrations for 1 hour.After 4 hours stimulation,cells were collected and stained intracellular cytokines with the dying regents,then the expression of Th1 type cytokine IFN-?,pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-? of T lymphocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry.And also observed the effects of drugs on the expression of CD69,an early marker of T cell activation.Results:1 000 ?mol/L(329.4 ?g/ml)sinomenine can downregulate CD69 expression of T lymphocytes while 200 ?mol/L sinomenie show no effect on it.200,1 000,2 000 ?mol/L sinomenine can obviously reduce the expression of intracellular cytokines such as IFN-?,TNF-? in dose-dependent manner.Conclusion:One of the immunological mechanisms of sinomenine to treat rheumatoid arthritis may due to the inhibitory effects on abnormal T lymphoctytes activation.The inhibitory effects of sinomenine may mainly be relative to the inhibitory effects on Ca 2+ -dependant signal pathway of T lymphocytes activation but not PKC pathway.
