Objective To assess the value and clinical applicability of non-treponemal antigen serologic test and Treponema pallidum antigen serologic test in the diagnosis of congenital syphilis. Methods Totally,7800 newborns were collected from the out-patient and in-patient department. Toluidine red unheated serum test (TRUST) was conducted to quantitatively detect non-treponemal antibodies and Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay (TPPA) to qualitatively detect specific treponemal antibodies in these subjects. The results of first serology test for syphilis were assessed for neonates with confirmed congenital syphilis. The sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of congenital syphilis were compared between TPPA and TRUST.Results Of the 7800 newborns undergoing syphilis serology testa, 60 were positive for TPPA and TRUST,including 15 cases of congenital syphilis, 47 were positive for TPPA but negative for TRUST, including 5 cases of congenital syphilis. The sensitivity and specificity were 75% (5/20) and 99.41% (7734/7780) respectively for TRUST in the diagnosis of congenital syphilis, 100% (20/20) and 98.88% (7693/7780) respectively for TPPA. Conclusion TPPA seems more applicable than TRUST to the screening for congenital syphilis.

The pharmacokinetics and tissue distributions of the novel paclitaxel microemulsion based on the L-OH lipid complex made in our laboratory were studied in this article with the commercial paclitaxel injection in cremophor as reference preparation by injected intravenously with single dose of 5 mg x kg(-1) in rats. LC-MS/MS method was used to determine the drug concentration in plasma and calculate the pharmacokinetic parameters. [3H]-paclitaxel was used to reveal the tissue distributions of different organs in 0.5 h, 3 h, 24 h and 120 h. The results indicated that the AUC of the emulsion group descended to 42.55%, with the CLz and Vz increased by 2.27 times and 3.81 times respectively. Tissue distribution results revealed that the emulsion showed a significantly increase in liver and spleen with a peak concentration up to 5 times; a slightly increase was observed in lung with no statistical differences; a significantly decrease in heart, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, bone marrow, aorta, thymus, pancreas, fat, muscle, skin, seminal vesicle, reproductive organs and brain with a drop of 40%-80%. These results indicated that paclitaxel microemulsion based on L-OH lipid complexes can remarkably reduced the blood exposure, accelerate plasma clearance rate and increase distribution volume. The fact that paclitaxel microemulsion tended to be uptake by reticuloendothelial system (RES) contributed to the target in liver, spleen and lung, and help to reduce the toxicity in blood, heart, kidney and gastrointestinal tract.

Objective To investigate the association of chlamydia pneumoniae infection with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).MethodsSerum samples were obtained from 33 AS patients and 22 healthy controls.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to mearsure serum anti-Chlamydia pneumoniae antibodies (IgM/IgG),while immunofluorescence assay (IFA) was used to detect Chlamydia pneumoniae LPS antigen,and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify Chlamydia pneumoniae DNA in peripheral blood cells. Immunohistochemistical technique was applied to examine Chlamydia pneumoniae LPS antigen in synovial tissue from another 9 AS patients who received total hip replacement and 13 patients with comminuted femoral fractures.ResultsThe positive rates of Chlamydia pneumoniae IgM,LPS antigen and chlamydia pneumoniae DNA were higher in AS patients than those in healthy controls (78.8% vs 22.7%,x2 =16.867,P =0.000; 66.7% vs 31.8%,x2 =6.431,P =0.011; 33.3% vs 9.1%,x2 =4.298,P =0.038).Chlamydia pneumoniae DNA positive rate was correlated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (Z =-2.774 and -2.829,P =0.004).In synovial tissues,chlamydial LPS-containing inflammatory cells were observed in 77.8%(7/9) AS patients,while those in fracture patients was 30.8% ( 4/13 ) ( P =0.08 ).Conclusion Chlamydia pneumoniae infection is common in blood circulation and joint cavity of AS patients and may be associated with the pathogenesis of AS.
