An on-line solid phase extraction-high performance liquid chromatography ( SPE-HPLC ) system was applied in the plasma pharmacokinetic study of highly active anti-cancer compound tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TEB-415) in mouse. The on-line SPE-HPLC method associated with Ultimate3000 system which was applied to the determination of the blood drug level of TEB-415 in mouse plasma. C18 column ( Venusil MP, 150 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5μm) was used as analytical column and the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-5 mmol/L monopotassium phosphate buffer ( pH 3 . 5 ) at a flow rate of 1 . 0 mL/min was used as the isocratic elution. An MF Ph-1 column (10 mm×4 mm, 5 μm) was used as on-line SPE column, and water and water-acetonitrile were used as the washing solvent and elution solvent respectively. The detection wavelength was set at 262 nm. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by WinNonlin 5. 2 software. The linear range of the calibration curve was between 100 and 20000 μg/L, and the limit of qualification was 20 μg/L. The extraction recovery was between 90 . 5% and 94 . 6%. The RSD of intra-day and inter-day precision was less than 3. 5%. The accuracy of short-term stability, freeze-thaw stability and long-term stability were between 91. 49% and 101. 96%. After oral medication, the mean peak time (Tmax) of TEB-415 in mice was 5. 29 h, and the mean maximum concentration ( Cmax) was 3403μg/L. The area under the curve ( AUC) of TEB-415 was 24600 μg/L·h. This drug's mean half-life was 3. 84 h, and its mean retention time (MRT) was 6. 56 h. These parameters suggested that TEB-415 had appropriate rate of absorption and elimination with preferable bioavailability.

Objective To assess the value of CMV viral load test in the diagnosis and prognostic judgment of infantile cytomegalovirus infection with whole blood and urine specimens. Methods 50 infants with active CMV infection were selected, which pp65 antigen was positive in serological detection and either CMV-IgM positive or the titer of CMV-IgG ≥40. The viral load in whole blood and urine specimens was detected before and after a course of preemptive ganciclovir treatment and the pp65 antigen was determined after treatment. Results 98% patients were manifested as cytomegalovirus viral load quantitative measurement in whole blood positive before the treatment, while 14% after. The positive ratio of pp65 assay after therapy was 6%. And there was no significant difference between the results of the two kinds of detection methods measurement in urine before and after treatment was 98% and 90%, respectively. The results of urinary viral load quantitative detection did not coincide with clinical characteristics of CMV infection (P<0.05,Sp=0.11,PVP=0.55, (Youden's index)=0.09). Conclusions Good coincidence could be found between CMV-DNA quantitative measurement in whole blood and pp65 antigenemia assay. And the former could be used as a diagnostic index of CMV positive infection. While single urinary viral load quantitative detection had no significance for the distinction between active and latent CMV infection and dynamic monitoring of CMV treatment.

Objective:To develop an ex vivo normothermic mechanical perfusion(NMP)and compare the effect of air-oxygenated NMP versus oxygen-oxygenated NMP on reducing renal injury from donor after cardiac death(DCD).Methods:All kidneys from DCD rats were subjected to 30 min in situ warm ischemia after cardiac attest.And harvested kidneys were stored for 8h under static cold preservation after NMP for 2h.In experimental groups, kidneys were subjected to either air-oxygenated NMP(group A, n=6)or oxygen-oxygenated NMP(group O, n=6). Sham operation(group C, n=6)and DCD kidneys under static cold preservation without NMP(group SCS, n=6)were employed as controls.The evaluation parameters included creatinine(Cr), aspartate amino transferase(AST)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)in perfusate, pathological changes by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining, histological criteria, expressions of myeloperoxidase and intercellular adhesion molecular-1(ICAM-1)by immunohistochemistry and Western blot, tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α)and interleukin-6(IL-6)by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay and level of malondialdehyde(MDA)by thiobarbital method and activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD)by WST-8 in renal tissues.Differences between two groups were analyzed by two-tailed unpaired Student's test and differences among more than two groups by one-way ANOVA.Results:Renal arterial oxygen tensions in NMP perfusate were(576.3±68.2)mmHg with oxygen-oxygenation and(137.0±39.1)mmHg with air-oxygenation.There was significant difference( P<0.05). The pathological injury scores in groups SCS, O and A by HE staining were(7.0±0.1), (5.0±0.9)and(2.5±0.5); injury scores and the expressions of renal proximal tubular epithelial cell vacuolar degeneration in groups O and A were lower than those in group SCS( P<0.05)and injury score in group A was lower than group O( P<0.05). In perfusate, the levels of △Cr, △AST and △LDH in groups O and A were(43.9±52.8)μmol/L and(12.6±3.5)μmol/L, (532.3±52.8)U/L and(49.1±50.4)U/L and(9998.0±2014.4)U/L and(1477.0±810.4)U/L.There were significant differences( P<0.05). In perfused kidneys, the MDA level and SOD activity in groups O and A were(0.192±0.018)mmol/g, (0.162±0.023)mmol/g, (0.6±0.3)×10 3 U/g, (1.7±0.4)×10 3 U/g; TNF-α and IL-6 levels in groups O and A were(124.376±19.635)and(89.331±13.123)ng/g, and(4.038±1.026)×10 3 and(1.774±0.518)×10 3 ng/g.After air-oxygenated NMP, lower renal damage indices were characterized by a lower MDA level and a higher SOD activity, the lower levels of TNF-α and IL-6 and the lower expressions of MPO and ICAM-1 than those in oxygen-oxygenated NMP( P<0.05). Conclusions:NMP with air-oxygenation mimics renal perfusion under physiological conditions and decreases oxidative stress and inflammation injury.It may confer a better retrieval in DCD kidney against warm ischemia injury.

Objective To analyze the clinical,laboratory and brain MRI features of patients with neurosyphilis(NS).Methods Eighty-five NS patients admitted to the Department of Neurology in Nanjing Second Hospital from November 2018 to November 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the results of brain MRI,the patients were divided into two groups:normal brain MRI + unilateral lesions group and bilateral lesions group(more severe group).ROC were plotted and the areas under the curves(AUC)were calculated to evaluate the diagnostic value of clinical indicators for severe NS on MRI.Results Compared with normal brain MRI + unilateral lesions group,the mean age(P = 0.000),the rate of male(P = 0.008)and the rate of symptomatic NS(P = 0.006)were significantly higher in bilateral lesions group.Moreover,hypersensitive C-reactive protein(P = 0.028),basophil(P = 0.003),fibrinogen(P = 0.011),CSF tolulized red unheated serum test titer(P = 0.004),CSF protein concentration(P =0.000),CSF adenosine deaminase(P =0.003),and CSF white blood cell count(P =0.049)were significantly increased in patients with NS in bilateral brain lesions group.Multivariate regression analysis suggested that age(OR =1.085,P =0.019)and CSF protein concentration(OR =1.004,P =0.023)were risk factors for NS patients with bilateral brain lesions on MRI.The clinical model was established by age,CSF protein concentration,and basophil,the AUC for predicting NS patients with bilateral brain lesions could reach 0.83(95%CI:0.73-0.91,P<0.01).Conclusions Clinical,laboratory and brain MRI examination should be integrated during the diagnosis and treatment of NS.Elderly patients and patients with high CSF protein concentration suggest severe disease,and reduction of CSF protein concentration is expected to improve the condition of NS patients.

Objective:To study the impact of the Varian real-time position management (RPM) respiratory gating system on radiotherapy planning dosimetry.Methods:The radiotherapy plans of 40 cases with thoracic or abdominal tumors were retrospectively selected in this study. The motion phantom for quality control was adopted to generate respiratory gating signals, and the 30%-60% stable phase at the end of expiratory was selected as the respiratory gating window. The dose verification for the abovementioned radiotherapy plans was performed using the Portal Dosimetry (PD) system under RPM respiratory gating mode with the Edge accelerator. Afterwards, dose analysis was performed with different γ passing rate criteria and the distribution characteristics of γ values were analyzed. Finally, the verification results between the non-gating mode and the gating mode were compared.Results:Under the respiratory gating mode, the passing rates of all intensity-modulated radiation therapy/volumetric-modulated arc therapy (IMRT/VMAT) plans with or without flattening filters were over 95.5% by γ criteria of (3%, 3 mm) or (3%, 2 mm) and were over 90% by stricter γ criteria of (2%, 2 mm). All plans met the clinical requirements recommended by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM). The passing rates of dose verification under non-gating mode were slightly better than those under respiratory gating mode, and the differences between the two modes were statistically significant (3%/3 mm, Z =-1.45; 3%/2 mm, Z =-2.86; 2%/2 mm, Z =-3.70; 1%/1 mm, Z =-4.52; P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the minimum and maximum values of γ and the share of γ > 1.5 of plan verification result under the two modes. However, the average value and standard deviation of the γ were generally smaller under the non-gating mode. Conclusions:The impact of the introduction of RPM respiratory gating technology on dose is clinically acceptable, and the execution of these plans in this gating mode is safe and reliable.
