One kind of new cefazolin sodium hydrate crystal was obtained in the isopropyl alcohol - water system. There are two symmetry independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, both being well ordered in the lattice, and ten independent water positions but generally four to six (mean five) water molecules and one sodium ion present in the unit cell structure. Huge solvent tunnels can be found. Again there are two general regions of water molecules, those in the large solvent tunnels and those in proximity of the sodium ion and the tetrazole moieties of the drug molecule. The physical and chemical characteristics of the new cefazolin sodium hydrate crystal are similar to that of the alpha-form cefazolin sodium crystal, and the new crystal has better chemical stability than amorphous cefazolin sodium powder.

The paper is to report the establishment of an HPLC method for determination of the components of bitespiramycin and its products, and to evaluate the components profile of bitespiramycin and its related products. Liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was used to identify the nine major components of the reference substance of bitespiramycins. The nine components of bitespiramycins and its products have been quantified by HPLC with gradients elution methods. The content of the component of 4"-O-isovalerylspiramycin III was not less than 35%, the content of the components of 4"-O-isovalerylspiramycin (I + II + III) was not less than 60%, and the contents of the nine components of bitespiramycin were not less than 80%, separately. In addition to the components mentioned above, there also exists some other impurities, however, with lower contents. This gradient elution HPLC method reported by this paper is considered to be suitable for the quality control of bitespiramycin.

OBJECTIVETo investigate morphological changes of capillary in aging brain and explore the role of vascular factor in brain aging.
METHODSTwenty-eight brains of individuals (mean age 65 years) who died without clinical or pathological involvement of nervous system and 6 brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients (mean age 83 years) were obtained at autopsy. Sections from frontal lobe, occipital lobe, striatum and hippocampus of normal subjects and sections from hippocampus of AD patients were used for hematoxylin eosin (HE), lox fast blue (LFB), toluidine blue stains and ulex europaeus agglutinin (UEA) immunostaining. After observations of morphological changes of neuron and capillary, computer-aid image analysis was performed to quantify numerical density and area density of neuron and capillary in frontal lobe, occipital lobe, putamen, CA3 sector of normal subjects and CA3 sector of AD patients. Numerical ratio and area ratio of neuron and capillary were then calculated. Correlations between neuron/capillary ratio and age were estimated using Pearson's correlation test. Difference of neuron/capillary ratio in CA3 sectors between AD patients and advanced aged normal subjects (> 75 years) was analyzed with Student's t-test.
RESULTSSeveral pathological microvascular changes, including increased tortuosity, looping, bundling, stringing, and effacement of endothelia were seen in aged subjects and more prevalent in AD patients. Numerical ratio and area ratio of neuron and capillary of frontal lobe, occipital lobe and putamen significantly increased with age in normal aging subjects.
CONCLUSIONSMorphological changes and relative decrease in number and capacity of capillary in aging brain may reduce cerebral blood flow and metabolism, and consequently result in functional impairment of aging brain. Vascular factors may play an important role in the development of brain aging.

OBJECTIVETo explore the expression of Cysleine-rich 61(Cyr61) gene in the different subtypes of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and the significance of Cyr61 in the genesis progression, and transformation of MDS and the relationship between Cyr61 and vascular endothelial grown factor (VEGF).
METHODSReverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemical S-P were used to detect mRNA and protein expressions of Cyr61 and VEGF in bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) from 28 MDS, 12 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, and 10 normal volunteers.
RESULTSExpressions of Cyr61 and VEGF were higher in MDS and AML patients than in controls (P < 0.05). The expressions of Cyr61 and VEGF were significantly higher in high risk group (0.3998 +/- 0.2647, 0.4775 +/- 0.1342) than that in low risk MDS group (0.2213 +/- 0.1465, 0.2872 +/- 0.2341) (P < 0.05), but no significant difference between high risk MDS and AML patients. Expressions of Cyr61 and VEGF protein were higher in MDS patients than in normal controls (P < 0.05), and were significantly higher in high risk MDS group \[(38.7 +/- 2.9)%, (43.2 +/- 2.7)%\] than in low risk group \[(31.4 +/- 3.1)%, (33.5 +/- 3.4)%\] (P < 0.05). Expressions of Cyr61 and VEGF were significantly correlated (r = 0.8762, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONCyr61 and VEGF may play a role in the angiogenesis and pathogenesis of MDS.

OBJECTIVETo prepare a time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA) kit for clinical detection of IgM antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen (HBc).
METHODSImmunocapture method was used to develop the TRFIA kit for detection of the anti-HBc IgM antibodies, and the precision, cross-reactivity and sensitivity of the kit were tested with the clinical serum samples.
RESULTSThe intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation of the TRFIA kit were 4.8%-7.2% and 7.5%-8.6%, respectively, and no cross-reactivity with anti-HBs, anti-HBc-IgG or anti-HBe was found. Comparison of the results of the TRFIA kit and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) demonstrated greater sensitivity of the kit than ELISA in detecting the anti-HBc IgM antibodies in 584 serum samples. According to the detection results in 300 serum samples from healthy donors, the cutoff value of the TRFIA kit was 4.5 times of the fluorescence value of the negative control.
CONCLUSIONThis TRFIA kit for detecting anti-HBc IgM antibodies meets the demand for clinical application and can replace the ELISA kits.
