Objective:To establish a determination method for the content of cyproheptadine hydyochloride tablets and the related substances in the tablets by HPLC. Methods:The assay was performed on a CAPCELL PAK C18(Shiseido)(250 mm ×4.6 mm, 5μm) column with methanol-0. 002 5mol·L-1 sodium heptanesulfonate (adjusting pH to 3 with phosphoric acid)(60: 40) as the mo-bile phase. The detection wavelength was 225 nm, the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 , the column temperature was 30℃ and the sample size was 10 μl. Results: Cyproheptadine hydyochloride had good linear relationship within the range of 4. 12-82. 40 μg·ml-1 ( r=1. 000 0), and the average recovery was 99. 2%(RSD=0. 8%, n=9). The peaks of the related substances were well separated from that of cyproheptadine hydrochloride. Conclusion:The method is simple, fast and accurate, and can be used for the quality control of cyproheptadine hydyochloride tablets.

Cerebral small vessel disease is a common cerebrovascular disease in clinical practice.It is mainly characterized by insidious onset and slow development.Some may have acute attack.The imaging features of cerebral small vessel disease mainly include cerebral white matter lesions,lacunar infarction,cerebral microbleed and cerebral perivascular space expansion.It is closely associated with cognitive impairment.All imaging findings can occur simultaneously and interact,further aggravate cognitive impairment,and ultimately lead to dementia.Therefore,the influence of cerebral small vessel disease on the quality of life and social function of the patients cannot be ignored.

BACKGROUND: Traction force generated by adherent cells exerts on the extracellular matrix or cell substrate through the interaction between actin and myosin, which involves a variety of physiological and pathological processes.OBJECTIVE: To review the fundamental principles and application of several traction force techniques.METHODS: The first author retrieved the databases of CNKI, WanFang, PubMed and SpringerLink for the research addressing the measurements of traction force using the keywords of cell traction force, biomechanics in Chinese and English, respectively. Repetitive articles were excluded, and 30 literatures were enrolled for analysis, including 1 Chinese and 29 English articles.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There are three kinds of measurements of traction force, such as silica gel membrane, traction force microscopy, and micromachined levers. The precise measurement of traction force contributes to further understand the cell-cell and cell-microenvironment mechanical interactions.

Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) refers to the decline of cognitive function after stroke, including mild cognitive impairment and dementia. It is very important to prevent PSCI, and it is a direction worth exploring to find the predictors. This article reviews the research progress of the predictors of PSCI, including demographic characteristics, imaging characteristics of stroke onset, stroke itself characteristics, and molecular markers, hoping to help screen high-risk patients and intervene in time to delay the occurrence and development of PSCI.

Objective To investigate the role of spinal glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signal pathway in rats with morphine tolerance.Methods Forty healthy male SD rats aged 8-10 weeks weighing 300-350 g in which intrathecal (IT) catheters were successfully implanted without complication were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =10 each):control group(group C) received IT injection of normal saline 10 μl twice a day for 7 consecutive days; morphine tolerance group(group M) received IT injection of morphine 10 μg twice a day for 7 consecutive days; dexamethasone (a GR agonist) group( group DEX)received IT injection of dexamethasone 4 μg 30 min before IT injection of morphine,twice a day for 7 consecutive days;RU38486(a GR blocker)group (group R) received IT injection of RU38486 2 μg 30 min before IT injection of morphine,twice a day for 7 consecutive days.Tail-flick test was measured once a day after first IT administration and 1 d after the end of IT administration,and the percentage of maximum possible antinociceptive effect (MPAE)was caculated.After the last measurem of tail-flick test,the spinal dorsal horns were removed for determination of PI3K,Caspase-3 expression and Akt activity.Results Morphine tolerance developed in groups M,DEX and R,but did not develop in group C.Compared with group C,Akt activity was decreased,PI3K expression was downregulated and Caspase-3 expression was up-regulated in group M (P < 0.05).Compared with group M,MPAE and Akt activity were decreased,PI3K expression was down-regulated and Caspase-3 expression was up-regulated in group DEX,and MPAE and Akt activity were inecreased,PI3K expression was up-regulated and Caspase-3 expression was down-regulated in group R (P < 0.05).Conclusion Spinal cord GR is involved in morphine tolerance by inhibiting PI3K/Akt signal pathway.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in septicemia in order to provide the reference for clinical antimicrobial agents usage.METHODS The blood samples of inpatients were cultured with blood culture apparatus,VITEK-AMS was used to identify the bacteria and conduct drug resistance test and ESBLs produced by Escherichia coli,and Klebsiella were detected by disc diffusion confirmatory test.RESULTS The 221 strains of pathogens that caused septicemia were mainly distributed in ICU,blood department and infection department.The 61 strains of E.coli were isolated,among which ESBLs were detected and accounted for 39.3%(24),26 strains of Klebsiella were isolated,among which ESBLs were detected and accounted for 26.9%(7),ESBLs strains were more resistant than ESBLs negative strains.Thirty two strains of Staphylococcus were isolated,among which MRS were detected and accounted for 62.5%(20).The pathogens showed highly multiple drug-resistance.Vancomycin and imipenem were the highest susceptible for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria,respectively.CONCLUSIONS The pathogens that caused septicemia are mainly distributed in ICU,blood department and infection department.The situation of antibiotic resistance of pathogens is very serious now.Therefore,it is important to prevent the septicemia and to detect enzyme producing strains regularly for reference of reasonable antibiotic use.

OBJECTIVE To study the change and significance of TNF-? and IL-18 in the Acinetobacter baumannii sepsis. METHODS Sixty male SD rats were divided into 6 groups. The first group was normal control group. The second to sixth groups were sepsis groups which were killed at 4h,16h,24h,48h,72h after injecting A. baumannii through intraperitoneal injection to make sepsis model. The level of TNF-? and IL-18 in the serum of rats was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS The level of TNF-? in the serum increased markedly in the sepsis groups (P
