An analytical method for simultaneous determination of five quinolones in spicy soup was developed. Spicy soup samples were firstly extracted by EDTA-Mcllvaine buffer at pH 4, then purified and concentrated by a novel Packed fiber solid phase extraction ( PFSPE ) coulumn. The extracted liquid supernatant was loaded onto the column, rinsed with water, and then eluted with 2% ammoniated methanol. The mobile phase was methanol-water-phosphoric acid (25:75:0. 1, V/V, adjusting the pH to 2. 8 with triethylamine) . These analytes were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography-fluorimetric detector( HPLC-FLD) at excitation and emission wavelength of 280 nm and 450 nm respectively. Recoveries of spiked quinolone antibiotics in spicy soup were from 72 . 1% to 110 . 3% with intraday relative standard deviation (RSD) between 1. 6% and 4. 3% and inter-day RSD from 2. 0% to 4. 3%. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation(LOQ) were from 1. 2 to 5. 4 μg/L and from 3. 9 to 18 μg/L, respectively. The method could be applied to determine the quinolones in spicy soup.

Previous studies have suggested that glutathione-S-transferase π (GST-π) over-expression in the brain tissue is associated with refractory epilepsy. However, whether the change in GST-π level in the peripheral blood is in line with that in brain tissue remains unknown. This study examined the correlation between GST-π in brain tissue and that in peripheral blood in rat models of pilocarpine-induced refractory epilepsy. The animals were divided into drug-resistant group and drug-responsive group according to the response to anti-epileptic drugs. GST-π expression in brain tissue was immunohistochemically determined, while the expression of GST-π in peripheral blood was analyzed by Western blotting. In the hippocampus and cortex, GST-π was mainly found in the cytoplasm and membrane of neurons, and the GST-π expression level was higher in drug-resistant group than in the drug-responsive group and saline control group (P<0.05). Moreover, there was no significant difference between responders and saline control animals (P>0.05). The change in expression of GST-π in peripheral blood showed the same pattern as that in brain tissues, suggesting GST-π might contribute to drug resistance in epilepsy. Importantly, the GST-π over-expression in peripheral blood could be used as a marker for resistance to anti-epileptic agents.

METHOD:
Alloiococcus otitidis, Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenza, and Moraxella catarrhal were investigated in the samples obtained from middle ear effusion and nasopharyn- geal swabs, using PCR and conventional bacterial culture methods.
RESULT:
By bacterial culture, the pathogen detection rate from middle ear effusion was 3.6%,while the nasopharynx was 54.0%, the detection rate of Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenza, Moraxella catarrhalis was 10.8%, 27.0%, 4.5%, respectively, the drug susceptibility results for 51 samples of bacterial culture positive showed that 39 cases was sensitivite to the β-lactam antibiotic; By PCR, the number of detecting various kinds of bacteria simultaneously in middle ear effusion or in the nasopharynx were 6 and 34. The bacteria prevalences of S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis, and A. otitidis are 5.4%, 5.4%, 3.6%, and 42.3% in the middle ear effusion, are 25.2%, 27.0%,13.5% and 34.2% in nasopharyngeal, respectively.
CONCLUSION
(1) PCR method is more sensitively detecting the bacteria than conventional bacterial culture methods. (2) The chronic SOM of children may be a combination of mixed bacterial infection, A. otitidis may be the most common pathogen of children SOM. (3) For children of SOM, if antibiotics are chosen to be used early in the disease, we suggest using the β-lactam antibiotics.

Objective To explore the effect of doxazosin on rabbit bladder compliance after partial bladder outlet obstruction. Methods A total of 40 male New Zealand white rabbits were randomized into 4 groups, with 10 rabbits in each group. Partial bladder outlet obstruction was established in groups B and C, while groups A and D underwent the same operation but without partial bladder outlet obstruction. On the day after the operation, groups C and D received oral administration of doxazosin. After 14 weeks, urodynamic examinations were carried out in all groups, and the bladder was weighted after cystectomy. Results Bladder weight was (3.2±0.9) g in group A, (14.1±2.3) g in group B, (5.0±2.0) in group C,and (2.9±0.5) g in group D. The bladder weight in groups B and C increased significantly compared to groups A and D (P<0.01), group B increased significantly over group C (P<0.01), and there was no significant difference between groups A and D (P>0.05).The detrusor leak point pressure was (10.2±2.5) cm H2O in group A, (18.8±6.1) cm H2O in group B, (13.5±4.7) cm H2O in group C,and (11.6±3.6) cm H2O in group D. The detrusor leak point pressure in group B was significantly higher than group A, group D (P<0.01) and group C (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between group A, group C and group D (P>0.05). The bladder compliance was (2.86±0.56) ml/cm H2O in group A, (1.22±0.39) ml/cm H2O in group B, (4.25±2.19) ml/cm H2O in group C,and (2.90±0.53) ml/cm H2O in group D. The bladder compliance was significantly decreased in group B compared to groups A and D (P<0.01). Bladder compliance in group C was significantly higher than in groups A and D (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between group A and group D (P>0.05). Conclusion Early use of doxazosin can delay the occurrence of lower bladder compliance after partial bladder outlet obstruction, thus protecting the storage function of bladder.

BACKGROUND: 3-nitropropionic acid(3-NP) can inhibit the process of oxidative phosphorylation and injure the energy metabolism of the cell and thereby induce cell injury. However, small dose of 3-NP can excite intrinsic cellular protective factor to protect neurons and increase the tolerance of neurons to ischemic hypoxia through mild inhibiting the process of oxidative phosphorylation. It is unclear whether it also has the similar effect on dopaminergic neurons.OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether 3-NP preconditioning could enhance the tolerance of dopaminergic neurons to MPP+(1-methyl-4-phenylpyridine)toxicity.DESIGN: A randomized controlled exploring research based on neuroblastoma SH-SYSY cell that could secrete dopamine.SETTING: Department of neurology of a university hospital.MATERIALS: The study was conducted in the Laboratory of Pathophysiology of Tongji Medical College between March 2003 and November 2003. SH-SYSY cell was obtained from the Cell Center of Peking Union Medical University.INTERVENTIONS: Cells were randomly divided into 6 groups. MPP+ was added into the cultured dopaminergic neuron SH-SY5Y cells for the establishment of the cell model for Parkinson disease. Before the admission of MPP+ (0.25 mmol/L), 3-NP(0. 2 mmol/L) was added once or repetitive times to form preconditioning. Microculture tetrozolium(MTT) was used to detect cell survival rate, and[3H] DA uptake rate was used to test the anterior synaptic function of dopaminergic neurons.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Major consequence: Cell survival rate;Minor consequence: [3H] DA uptake rate.RESULTS: Cell survival rate of MPP+ group was 54.3%, which was significantly lower than that of blank control group( P < 0.01) . After 3-NP preconditioning, cell survival rate significantly elevated, which was 71.8%(single) or 85.2% (repetitive) . There was significant difference between single preconditioning and repetitive preconditioning( P < 0.05 ). The results of[3H] DA uptake rate were similar to that of cell survival rate. [3H] DA uptake rate was 65.8% (single) or 80. 3% (repetitive), which was significantly higher than 50. 1% of MPP+ group. And moreover, repetitive preconditioning had more favorable effect than single preconditioning. Simple admission of 3-NP had no impact on cells.CONCLUSION: 3-NP preconditioning can significantly enhance the tolerance of dopaminergic neuron to MPP+ toxicity, which has significant protective effects on dopaminergic neuron. Repetitive preconditioning have more significant protective effects.
