Aim:To develop a practical chiral CE method for the quantitative determination of the unwanted enantiomer[( R )-enantiomer]presented in zolmitriptan. Methods:The background electrolyte was 20 mmol/L sodium dihydrogenphosphate solution with 1% S-β-CD,adjusted to pH 3.50 with phosphoric acid. A fused-silica capillary(60 cm×50 μm ID,effective length 51.5 cm)was used at 20 ℃ for the separation. The applied voltage was -30 kV. The samples were loaded by hydrodynamic injection(50 mbar pressure,6 s). UV was measured at 220 nm. Results:Zolmitriptan and its chiral impurity were baseline resolved ( R s=6.66). The linearity was good over the concentration range from 4 to 80 μg/mL( r =0.999 8) of ( R )-enantiomer. The injection precision (expressed as CV%) was 2.83%. The average recovery was 99.97%( n =9). The limit of detection was 1.5 μg/mL. The host-guest complex binding constants were 964 and 905 mol-1 for ( R )-enantiomer and zolmitriptan,respectively. Conclusion:The method is suitable for the determination of ( R )-enantiomer in zolmitriptan and binding constants of zolmitriptan enantiomers to S-β-CD.

Objective To investigate the CT imaging findings of thymus and thyroid gland involved in Langerhans cell histiocytosis(LCH) of pediatric patients. Methods CT image findings in pediatric patients with LCH confirmed by pathology and clinical diagnosis from January 2006 to February 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. By radiography, 38 cases' thymus gland were involved and 8 cases' thyroids gland were involved. Results Plain CT scan for thymus gland involved patients revealed 9 cases were shown as hyperplasia, 17 cases were shown as calcification, 9 cases were shown as hyperplasia with calcification, 1 case was shown as cavity, 1 case was shown as hyperplasia with calcification and cavity and 1 case was shown as hyperplasia with calcification and low density. Enhanced CT scan for thyroid gland involved patients showed bilateral or unilateral enlargement of thyroid gland with heterogeneous low density and unobvious enhancement. Conclusions Finely calcifications were the most common CT findings on thymus gland involved in LCH and might without hyperplasia. CT imaging of thyroid LCH exhibited an enlarged or normal size and abnormal density in the thyroid gland with adjacent soft tissues involved.

Objective To investigate the causes and treatment of familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus with hydronephrosis.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 6 cases (5 males and 1 female,aged 11 to 53 years) of familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus with hydronephrosis treated in our institute from June 2009 to December 2010.All cases had polydipsia and polyuria since their childhood.The daily output of urine ranged from 5,290 to 15,040 ml.The urine specific gravity was less than 1.005.The water deprivation and vasopressin injection test showed positive results,and MRI showed that the shape and size of pituitary gland were in normal range.Ultrasound and IVU showed that all cases had hydronephrosis.Five adult cases were administered with Desmopressin 0.2 mg three times a day,and 1 juvenile patient given half dosage of Desmopressin as in adult.The case No.1 underwent percutaneous nephrostomy and bilateral ureteral reimplantation.Case No.2 received urethral catheterization for 5 days and Tamsulosin.Three cases with urinary tract infection were given antibiotics on the base of urine culture and antibiotic sensitivity test results.Follow-up was undertaken every 3 mon for the duration of 18-36 mon.Results In 6 cases,polydipsia and polyuria were significantly improved after the treatment.Daily urine output dropped to 6000 ml in 5 adult cases and decreased to 2000 ml in the juvenile case.The flank sore of case No.1 was relieved after percutaneous nephrostomy,and hydronephrosis improved 6 mon after bilateral ureteral reimplantation.The residual urine volume of case No.2 was reduced to 40 ml,and no recurrence was observed after anti-infection therapy.During the follow-up,6 cases showed relieved hydronephrosis and no recurrent infection.Conclusions It is of important to reduce the urine volume for the treatment of familial neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus with hydronephrosis.Early diagnosis and treatment of the diseases is crucial for the improvement of renal function.

This study examined the effect of nicotine on the expression of mutant p53 (mt-p53) in bladder cancer rats. The rat models of bladder cancer were established by infusing N-methyl-nitroso-urea (MNU, 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks for 8 weeks) into the bladder. Pathological examination on the bladder was conducted to confirm the establishment of the model. All the bladder cancer rats were randomly divided into an MNU group and 3 nicotine groups. In the nicotine groups, the rats were intragastrically administered nicotine at different concentrations (25, 15, 5 mg/kg respectively) 3 times per week for 8 weeks. The mt-p53 expression was detected by the immunohistochemical method. The results showed that rat bladder cancer models developed histopathological changes of bladder transitional cell carcinoma. The positive rate of mt-p53 expression in the 3 nicotine groups (25, 15, 5 mg/kg) was 75.00%, 58.33% and 41.67% by the 14th week, respectively, significantly higher than that in the MNU group (33.33%) (all P<0.05). The mt-p53 expression rate was positively correlated with the medication dose and time (P<0.05). It is concluded that nicotine may play an important role in the development of bladder cancer partially by increasing the expression of mt-p53.

Objective To investigate the chest HRCT characteristics of pediatric perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (p-ANCA) associated systemic vasculitis. Methods Retrospectively analysis of the clinical and HRCT data of 15 pediatric cases diagnosed as p-ANCA related pneumonia according to the classification and diagnostic criteria of Chapel Hill meeting of 1994 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. They were 13 girls and 2 boys. The age range was 1—17 years and the median was about 10 years old, In the 15 patients, 12 were diagnosed as primary MPA, 2 were secondary MPA, 1 was CSS. Two radiologists with 10 years of radiological experience read the CT imaging together. Results 1 of 12 primary MPA were found large opacities and ground glass shades in both sides of lung,especially the posterior parts on CT images with bilateral pleural effusion; 1 case had focal opacities in left lower lobe, around with thickened interlobular septa and pleural effusion; Another 1 case only had focal thickened interstitial in right middle lobe; The other 9 cases showed scattered or diffused ground glass opacity, with thickened pulmonary interstitial and (or) pleura. 1 of the 2 secondary MPA who had hemoptysis showed ground glass opacity on CT images with no thickened septal nodules or pleural effusion. The other one who had renal anomalies and no respiratory symptoms showed subpleural nodules with halo sign in right low lobe. The CSS showed diffused patchy ground glass opacity, consolidation of both lingular lobes, nodules of centri-and peri-lobular, thickened septa near the pleura, obviously thickened bronchial wall, slightly widened bronchial lumen and thickened pleura. Conclusion The classic imaging features of p-ANCA pneumonia on HRCT is the non-specific small pulmonary vessel hemorrhage.

Objective To investigate the effect of Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) on postoperative psychological status and quality of life in patients with bladder cancer undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Methods A total of 95 patients with non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) undergoing TURBT hospitalized in Army General Hospital from November 2013 to November 2015 were selected and randomly divided into the control group (n=47) and the observation group (n=48). Patients in the control group received routine nursing care, while patients in the observation group received additional PDCA. The changes of serum norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E) and cortisol (Cor) levels were observed before and after the intervention in two groups. The SAS, SDS and the Self-esteem Scale (SES) were used to evaluate the psychological status of patients. The Simple Quality of Life Scale-36 (SF-36) was applied to evaluate the quality of life of patients. Results The postoperative serum NE, E and Cor levels of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P< 0.01). At 1 month after the operation, SAS and SDS scores of patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, while SES score in the observation group was higher than that of the control group; there were statistically significant differences between two groups (P< 0.01). At 18 months after the operation, SF-36 score of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P< 0.01). Conclusions PDCA can effectively reduce the postoperative stress reaction of bladder cancer patients after TURBT and improve their psychological status and quality of life, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective: To explore the epidemiologic characterization of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection and genotype distribution of HR-HPV among women in rural areas of China. Methods: This study used multiple layers of stratified cluster random sampling method. During January to December in 2014, 117 counties of 27 provinces were selected as the HPV test screening pilot project counties. The women aged 35-64 years with rural areas Hukou in these project counties were selected as the study subjects. A total 457 799 women received HPV DNA test. Among them, 118 237 women from 32 counties in 11 provinces received qualified HPV DNA test by fluorescent PCR to detect HPV genotypes. Results: Among 118 237 rural women, the overall HR-HPV positive infection rate was 7.8% (9 249/118 237). The infection rate increased with age and reached an infection peak at the 60-64 age groups (9.9%, 831/8 394). The HR-HPV positive infection rate in western regions (6.9%, 2 144/31 130) was statistical significantly lower than in central regions (8.2%, 1 894/23 023) and eastern regions (8.1%, 5 211/64 084) (χ²=51.46, P<0.001). Among 9 249 women with specific genotypes of HR-HPV, 6 496 (97.6%) cases were infected with single HR-HPV type, and 163 cases (2.4% ) were infected with multiple types. HR-HPV type 52, 16 and 58 were the most common infection types in rural areas of China. The single infection rates were 20.9% (1 355/6 496), 18.7% (1 215/6 496), and 11.2% (725/6 496), respectively. The multiple infection rates were 47.2% (77/163), 17.8% (29/163), and 18.4% (30/163), respectively. Conclusion The HR-HPV positive infection rate in rural areas of Chinese woman was 7.8%, western region has lower infection rate compared with central and eastern regions. HPV 52 was first of the most common genotypes in rural areas of China.

Objective To develop the avian influenza Knowledge-Attitude-Practice ( KAP ) scale for community residents, and provide an objective evidence tool for community nursing. Methods The scale was based on the frame work of KAP theory and reference to the relevant literature and expert′s advice. A total of 454 community residents in Fuzhou were selected by convenient sampling and we analyzed the scale reliability and validity. Results The scale was composed of 3 domains and 46 items. The text-retest reliability of three domains were 0. 784, 0. 907 and 0. 881. The Cronbach α value for the overall scale was 0. 744 and the each domains was between 0. 678 and 0. 732. The content validity index (CVI) for the overall scale was 0. 78 and the each domain ranged from 0. 75 to 0. 84. Exploratory factor analysis revealed 17 common factors, which account for 59. 839% of the total variance. Conclusions The structure of the scale is in line with theory. The scale has good stability and reliability, therefore it can be used as a KAP scale of the avian influenza in community residents as survey tool.

Epidemiologic, clinical and imaging data were collected from 14 children with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted in Beijing Ditan Hospital from January 27, 2020 to February 12, 2020. There were 6 boys and 8 girls with a median age of 3.5 years (6 months-9.4 years). Four patients had a history of travel to Wuhan City or Hubei Province and 2 patients had contacted with people from Wuhan; 13 patients were familial cluster of infection. The incubation period was 4 to 16 days. The clinical manifestations were fever in 8 cases, cough in 5 cases, diarrhea in 1 case; and 2 cases were asymptomatic. Four patients had abnormal peripheral blood routine, including 1 had lymphocytosis, 3 had lymphocytopenia; 3 patients had a slightly elevated CRP, and 3 patients had hepatic dysfunction. Thirteen patients underwent chest CT; and 1 case showed bilateral lung glass exudation, 1 case showed multiple patchy high density shadows of bilateral lung. One patient underwent chest X-ray examination, which was showed no abnormal findings. The pediatric patients with COVID-19 in this series generally have a traceable epidemiological history. The clinical manifestations are fever, cough and diarrhea. Peripheral white blood cell counts were most normal. Chest CT reveals less severe changes than those in adults, most child patients show no manifestation of pneumonia.
