Objective To prepare centromere-associated protein E(CENP-E)polyclonal antibody with specificity by using New Zealand white rabbits.Methods Prokaryotic expression plasmid of pHis-CENPEC410 was constructed by molecular cloning technique and then transformed into competent cells of E.coli BL-21 (DE3).HisCENPEC410 fusion protein was induced by isopropyl β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) and purified by affinity chromatography using Ni-NTA beads.The purified protein was used as antigen to immune New Zealand white rabbits to produce spccific polyclonal antibody of CENP-E.The antibodies serum was detected by immunoblotting and co-immunoprecipitation,and the purified antibodies were detected by immunofluorescene staining.Results The results of immunoblotting and co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated that the antibody serum was effective and the purified antibody could be applied to immunofluorescene test.Conclusions CENP-E polyclonal antibody with high specificity and sensitivity was obtained,which lay the foundation for the follow-up study of CENP-E.

Objective A systematic review of implementation outcomes of the essential medicine system in China to identify scientific evidences for a better system.Methods A systematic review is made to extract data from the research papers on outcomes of the essential medicine system,followed by an analysis and description of such data.Results Of the 87 papers included,most of them focused on primary care institutions,while four of them on residents or patients,and one of them on pharmaceutical enterprises.The study found the medical institutions with rising availability of essential drugs,lowered medicine costs,rising or dropping business volume,and apparent drop of out-of-pocket expenses for patients.These have encouraged rational drug use.Evidences in hand indicate expected outcomes from the essential medicine system.Conclusion Current researches on the system focus on primary care institutions in developed areas in China,lacking rigorous design.Studies of broader scale,further depth and more rigorous designs of the implementations of the system are recommended for evaluation of the impacts and outcomes of the system on various stakeholders of the policy.

Objective To investigate the auditory sensory gating P50 in schizophrenia patients with homicide during three months of follow up. Methods Twenty-five patients with schizophrenia patients with homicide and 27 healthy adults matched with age and education level were recruited in the present study. P50 was recorded in twenty-seven normal controls and twenty-five schizophrenia patients at the baseline. P50 was repeatedly recorded in eleven patients who completed the follow-up at three months following antipsychotics treatment. The psychotic symptoms of patients were assessed with Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) at the same time. Results ①In comparison with normal controls, schizophrenia patients with homicide showed increased S2-P50 amplitude (P<0.01), increased S2/S1 ratio (P<0.01), decreased S1-S2(P<0.05), and 100(1-S2/S1) (P<0.01) at the baseline and after three months treatment. The differences in P50 amplitude, latency, and P50 suppression index between the baseline and after three-month treatment in schizophrenia patients with homicide were not significant (P>0.05). ② Schizophrenia patients with homicide after three-month treatment showed decreased PANSS total scale, positive scale, general psychopathology scale, and six symptoms scales such as lack of response, thought disorder, activation, paranoid, depression, and aggression (P<0.05). ③ No significant correlations were found between the S2/S1 ratio, S2-S1, and 100(1-S2/S1) with disease duration, PANSS scores, and six symptoms scales at either baseline or after three-month treatment (P>0.05). Conclusions Schizophrenia with homicide has sensory gating deficits and P50 suppression index might be a stable trait maker for schizophrenia with homicide.

This paper is to report the development of a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of s-oleylpropanolamide (OPA) in various tissues of rat (brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, small intestine, kidney, adipose tissue and muscle), and to assess the applicability of the assay to tissue distribution. OPA was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction method with undecylenoylethanolamide as an internal standard. The concentrations of OPA were determined by LC-MS/MS after a single intragastric dose of 50 mg x kg(-1) at 4 time points (5 rats per group). With multiple reactions monitoring mode (MRM) the limit of quantification (LLOQ) was determined at 1 microg x L(-1). The calibration curve was linear from 1 to 2 x 104 microg x L(-1) (r > or = 0.999 0) for tissue homogenates. Validation parameters such as accuracy, precision and recovery were found to be within the acceptance criteria of the assay validation guidelines. The highest concentration was found in small intestine (the highest time point is 15 min) and heart (the highest time point is 90 min). The assay is rapid, sensitive and applicable to studying tissue distribution of OPA in rats.

Objective To detect the asymptomatic cardiovascular changes in children with adenoid hypertrophy.Methods One hundred and twenty children with adenoid hypertrophy underwent both chest X-ray and echocardiography before adenoidectomy,and echocardiography 6 months after operation.Results No child showed an increase in the cardiothoracic ratio on X-ray.But preoperative echocardiography showed an increase in pulmonary artery pressure [(22.6 ±3.6) mm Hg,1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa],a decrease in E/A (1.01 ± 0.17),and an increase in right ventricular end-diastolic diameters [(1.88 ± 0.18) cm].While after operation,pulmonary artery pressure decreased to(17.1 ± 3.2) mm Hg,E/A increased to 1.25 ± 0.12,and right ventricular end-diastolic diameters decreased to (1.67 ± 0.11) cm.Each index change before and after operation was statistically significant(P < 0.05).Conclusion Adenoid hypertrophy can result in clinically asymptomatic cardiopulmonary changes.Early diagnosis and treatment of this disease can prevent serious cardiopulmonary complications.
