Chlorogenic acid (5-CQA) is one of the major components in some Chinese herbal injections. However, the metabolism of 5-CQA in rats after intravenous injection has not been determined. An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF MS) method was applied to identify the metabolites in bile, urine, feces and plasma after a single intravenous administration of 10 mg x kg(-1) 5-CQA to rats. Using MSE and mass defect filter techniques, a total of 35 metabolites were detected in bile, urine, feces and plasma. The predominant metabolites in bile were glutathione conjugates of O-methyl-5-CQA, accounting for approximately 80% of the metabolites excreted in bile. The major components in urine were parent drug, O-methyl-5-CQA, hydrolyzed metabolites and glucuronide conjugates. The major components in feces were O-methyl-5-CQA and its cysteine conjugates. The major component in plasma was the parent drug. The urinary and fecal excretion pathways were equally important to 5-CQA in rats. These results demonstrate that 5-CQA undergoes extensively metabolism in rats and are highly reactive to nucleophiles such as GSH. This finding indicates that attention should be paid on the injections containing 5-CQA, which may covalently bind to proteins, leading to allergenic drug reactions.

Prosthesis revision and service life after artificial joint replacement is highly correlated with the biocompatible responses among prosthesis per se, host, and manipulating technique. Artificial prosthesis consists of two parts: metal part and rigid plastic components. Many metals such as stainless steel, cobalt-chrome-molybdenum alloy and titanium alloy can be used as prosthesis materials. The plastic materials mainly include wear-resisting polythene, plastic bone cement that is used to embed the prosthesis into osseous substance. Host defines as the patients with various joint injury, mainly the elderly. Anesthesia is a key step in replacement. Artificial joint replacement is performed in patients under anesthesia. Different anesthesia methods bring variable influences on biocompatibility after surgery. In addition, complications of anesthesia may aggravate tissue lesions around operation sites in the early stage after replacement, leading to joint loosening or inadequate joint range of motion. Appropriate anesthesia, modified artificial joint design and joint replacement technique can prolong the serve life of artificial joint.

Myocardial fibrosis is a predominant pathological change of radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) in late stage.It often occurs several or more than ten years after radiotherapy and can lead to myocardial remodeling, impaired cardiac function, and heart failure.At present there is no effective method to prevent or reverse the development of radiation-induced myocardial fibrosis.Many cells, cytokines, and other factors are involved in the development and progression of myocardial fibrosis in RIHD and some of them have been validated.But most investigators focused on the pathological changes and related mechanisms in early stage, and myocardial fibrosis was just regarded as an endpoint event.The definitive mechanisms of myocardial fibrosis in late stage remain unclear.This paper reveiws the studies about general mechanisms of myocardial fibrosis in RIHD and summarizes the roles of microcirculation dysfunction, mast cells, several cytokines, hypoxia, oxidative stress, and renin-angiotensin system, and points out the future research direction of the pathogenesis of myocardial fibrosis in RIHD.It provides new ideas for discovering the potential targets for clinical intervention of myocardial fibrosis in RIHD.
