Objective To analyze the second time blood screening results of ALT deferred donors,and to evaluate the importance of alanine aminotransferase(ALT) testing on the improvement of blood safety.Methods The ALT testing results of 565 360 blood donors from Feb.2006 to Jan.2008 of Shanghai Blood Center were studied retrospectively.The screening results and donation intervals of such donors who delayed their donation just because of their former unqualified ALT level were also analyzed.Results A total of 32 042 donors(5.67%) failed in ALT testing among 565 360 donors.And 3 395 ALT deferred donors participated the second time blood donation,among which 2 205(64.95%) passed the blood screening tests,while the other 1 190(35.05%) failed.Among the 1 190 unqualified blood donors,1 151(33.90%)failed again in ALT testing,and 11(0.32%) in Syphilis,12(0.35%) in HBsAg,7(0.21%) in anti-HCV and 1 in anit-HIV(0.03%).Meanwhile,donors failed both in ALT testing combined with HBsAg,anti-HCV,and anit-HIV sero-converted were 1(0.03%),2(0.06%) and 1(0.03%),respectively.And 72.64% of ALT deferred donors participated the second time blood donation within 6 months.The average donation intervals of donors with qualified ALT level but sero-converted were 140 days(from 24 to 267 days),and those with both unqualified ALT level and sero-converted were 158 days(from 91 to 220 days).Conclusion Before the new methods such as NAT were applied to blood donation screening system,ALT test could prevent the window-period failure of ELISA screening so as to improve the blood safety.

Aim To study the protective effect and mechanism of geniposide on human umbilical vein endothelial cell(HUVEC) injury induced by H2O2.Methods The injured model was established by HUVEC treated with H2O2.HUVECs were cultured in vitro and divided into five groups:control group,H2O2 group and geniposide with different concentrations plus H2O2 group respectively.HUVECs were incubated with 400 ?mol?L-1 H2O2 for 12 hours in the absence or presence of various concentrations of geniposide pre-incubation.Survival rate of HUVECs was determined by tetrazolium assay.The intracellular activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px),total nitric oxide synthase(NOS) and extracellular nitric oxide(NO) level were detected.The intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS) level and the apoptotic index and cell cycle alteration were detected by flow cytometry.Results Geniposide concentration-dependently increased the viability of injured endotheial cells,while increased the activity of SOD,GSH-Px,NOS and NO production.The intracellular ROS level and the apoptotic index were reduced by geniposide.The cell proliferation was increased with geniposide incubation.Conclusion Geniposid may be a potential anti-oxidation agent which has a protective effect against HUVEC injuries induced by H2O2.

AIM: To summarize clinical characteristics and pathogenesis of iridocorneal endothelial syndrome ( ICE ) and investigate the treatment and prognosis.
METHODS:The clinical data of 12 cases (12 eyes) who received treatment in southwest hospital during Jun. 2007 to Feb. 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. The essential progressive atrophy of iris included 7 eyes, Chandler syndrome included 3 eyes, Congan - Reese syndrome included 2 eyes.
RESULTS: A total of 8 eyes were carried out once or multiple filtration surgery; 4 eyes were treated with glaucoma valve implantation. Postoperative follow- up time ranged from 15mo to 5y with the average of 30mo. Three months to 16mo after the surgery, the intraocular pressure of 4 patients were elevated again. Postoperative intraocular pressure was poorly controlled.
CONCLUSION:ICE syndrome is a group of clinically rare and serious eye disease. The excessive proliferation of ICE cells causes the existence of the corneal endothelial cells adhesion to the chamber angle and iris surface, which cause iris atrophy, secondary glaucoma, corneal endothelial decompensation. Currently, glaucoma filtration surgery and glaucoma valve implantation can only control intraocular pressure for several months, but the long-term prognosis is poor.

Objective To study the physical and chemical properties of silibinin; To lay foundation for optimal formulation design.Methods The high performance liquid chromatography method was used to detect the equilibrium solubility of silibininin in various solutions. The partition coefficients of silibinnin in the n-octalution-water and n-octalution-buffer solution systems were determined by shaking flask method. The destructive tests were carried out on silibinin.Results The equilibrium solubility of silibininin at 25℃ was 1.352 mg/L in water and the largest in acetonitrile, and increased in basic buffer solutions and after adding surfactants, of which sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate was the strongest in solubilizing ability. The apparent oil-water partition coefficient of silibinnin was 61.39. Silibinnin was unstable in the acidic, basic, oxidizing and reducing solutions.Conclusion The experiment results can provide references for designing new preparations of silibinin.

Objective To investigate the effects of miR-100 on the proliferation of MIA PaCa-2 and CFPAC-1 cells through targeting fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3).Methods miR-100 expression levels in 17 cancer tissues and 17 nonmalignant tissues were examined by Real-time PCR.The effect of miR-100 overexpression on cell proliferation was examined by CCK-8 assay in vitro.Luciferase assay was used to confirm that miR-100 could directly target FGFR3.Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to examine the expression of FGFR3 in miR-100 overexpressing pancreatic cancer cells.The predicted target gene of miR-100,FGFR3,was downregulated by siRNA,and its effect on cell proliferation was also examined.Cell proliferation was analyzed using CCK-8 and Edu assay.Results miR-100 was lowly expressed in pancreatic cancer tissues (P ＜ 0.05).In pancreatic cancer cells,the transfection of lv-miR-100 was able to upregulate the endogenous expression of miR-100 and inhibit the cell proliferation (P ＜0.05).Luciferase assay showed FGFR3 was the direct target of miR-1O0.FGFR3 was significantly downregulated by overexpressing miR-100 in pancreatic cancer cells (P ＜0.05),and FGFR3 knockdown by specific siRNA exerted the similar effect as miR-100 overexpression (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Our study identified a new miRNA regulator,miR-100,and clarified a novel mechanism of how miR-100 regulates cell proliferation in pancreatic cancer.The strategy of overexpressing the tumor suppressor miR-100 may provide a new therapeutic approach for treating patients with pancreatic cancer.

Fluorescent technology is widely used in many fields due to its high sensitivity. However, the direct quantification of one target analyte in complex system is still difficult to be achieved when using the traditional fluorescent method without any pretreatment separation procedure. This is due to the fact that serious overlapping of fluorescence spectra often occurs, mainly originating from natural interferences in complex sample backgrounds, or the interferents with similar structures to a target analyte, particularly in the simultaneous analysis of multi-components samples. The rapid development of modern analytical instruments and three-way data collection techniques has led to a resurgence of interest in the development of chemomet-rics-based analytical strategies, which might light a new avenue to simple experimentation using“mathematical separation” as a replacement or enhancement of“physical or chemical separation” of uncalibrated background or interferents. These methods can offer a highly attractive property, called“second-order advantage”, which allows for the direct and rapid determination of a single target component or simultaneous determination of multiple target components in complex samples, even in the presence of uncalibrated interferences. The property has been a hotspot in the current chemometric domain, and was successfully employed for many applications, such as pharmaceuticals, biological, food, environmental analysis and so on.
