OBJECTIVE: To prepare rifampicin suppositories and to determine its dissolution in vitro. METHODS: Rifampicin suppositories were prepared with gelatin and glycerine as base material, the dissolution of rifampicin suppositories was determined by UV spectrophotometry and which were compared with rifampicin capsules sold in the market. RESULTS: The linear range of rifampicin was 10.0～60.0?g?mL-1(r=0.9 999), and the average recovery was 99.87%(RSD=0.42%, n=6). The dissolutions of rifampicin suppositories and rifampicin capsules in vitro at 45min were(89.9?0.97)% and(79.8?1.14)%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Rifampicin suppositories were simple in preparative method, well-formed, low in cost, and with high dissolution in vitro.

Commercial production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic hydrolysates requires efficient fermenting strains. The abilities of the strain to converting all types of sugars in the hydrolysate to ethanol in high yield and to effectively tolerating/metabolizing inhibitors are necessary. Genome shuffling is a novel method for breeding, and it has been applied in pharmaceutical and food industry. This review summarized the technique of genome shuffling including principle, process, applications and its prospect for strains improvement in ethanol production from lignocellulosic hydrolysates.

Objective To explore the roles of urokinase type PA (uPA) and uPA receptor (uPA R) in the course of repair after human embryo corneal alkali burn in vitro . Methods After the alkali burn model in vitro was established successfully, some techniques such as the observation of cell culture and morphology, ICC and image analysis were used. Results No significant difference was found between the cells from corneal limbus and central cornea and almost all of them expressed AE1/AE3. The expressions of uPA and uPA R increased to the maximum at about 24 h after alkali burn. uPA expression distributed mainly in the cytoplasm but uPA R expression distributed mainly in the cell membrane. Conclusion The corneal epithelial cells of comparatively high purity can be acquired by tissue culture. There probably exists difference in development and vitality between embryo and adult cornea. There might be commonness of the roles of uPA and uPA R in epithelial tissue.

ObjectiveTo analyze the underlying causes of postoperative gastrointestinal (CI)bleeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy and to discuss the strategies in diagnosis,prevention and management.MethodsThe clinical data of 331 patients who were admitted to the Surgical Department of the First Hospital,Peking University from Jan. 1998 to Jan. 2010 was retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe overall postoperative morbidity was 37.2 ％,with a bleeding complication rate of 6.7 ％,and a GI bleeding rate of 1.5％.For postoperative GI bleeding,the main bleeding sites were from the pancreaticointestinal anastomosis (40.0％) and the gastrointestinal anastomosis (20.0％). Embolotherapy using vascular intervention alone (20.0％),open abdominal operation following vascular interventional therapy (40.0 ％ ) and open abdominal operation alone (40.0 ％ ) were used to control GIbleeding.ConclusionsThe common bleeding sites in the GI tract were at the pancreaticointestinal anastomosis and the gastrointestinal anastomosis. The main procedures used to control bleeding were embolization using vascular interventional therapy,endoscopic therapy and open abdominal therapy.

Objective:To establish a simple HPLC method for the determination of warfarin in human plasma and analyze the re-sults of 100 monitoring reports. Methods:Warfarin was extracted from the plasma samples by acetonitrile. The extract was separated on a ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C8 column (150 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm)with a mobile phase consisting of methanol and 0. 1% acetic acid (65∶35) at flow rate of 1. 0 ml·min-1 and detected by a diode array detector. The detection wavelength was at 308nm and the sample size was 20 μl. Results:The calibration curve was linear within the range of 0. 1-5. 12μg·ml-1 . The average recovery and RSD was ranged from 85. 0% to 102. 3% and 1. 2% to 3. 9%(n=6), respectively. Inter-and intra-day RSD were 1. 1%-1. 8% and 1. 6%-2. 9%, respectively. Conclusion:The proposed method is rapid, convenient and accurate in the detection of warfarinin concentration in plasma.

Objective To investigate the risks and benefits of different surgical treatments for cystic neoplasms of the pancreas (CNP).Methods The clinical data of 243 CNP patients were reviewed retrospectively.Different surgical treatments were adopted according to the site,size and invasiveness of the tumors.A long term follow-up was carried out for patients with small benign CNP,and a surgical excision is proposed if tumors progressed during the observation.Results 58 outpatients with no evidence of malignancy was followed up and had long-term survival,in which 4 patients received a surgical resection in case of tumor progression,and all of them were confirmed benign tumors.185 cases received surgical treatments,with a resection rate of 97.3％ (180/185),including 127 non-invasive tumors,and 58 cases of invasive tumors.Perioperative mortality was 2/185,and morbidity rate was 41/185.Pancreatic fistula was the most frequent complication,which was significantly associated with tumor site and excision extension.All patients with non-invasive CNP acquired a long term survival after surgical treatments.The postoperative 1,3,5 year survival rates for patients with invasive lesions were 89.6％,52.1％ and 29.2％,respectively.Conclusions Long term follow-up and observation is feasible for asymptomatic patients with benign CNP.A radical resection should be performed for malignancy,and a combined multi-organ resection may improve the prognosis for local advanced tumors.

Objective To investigate the surgical procedure selection for chronic pancreatitis.Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with chronic pancreatitis who were admitted to the Peking University First Hospital from January 2000 to August 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Thirty-eight patients were with or without pancreatic duct stone,and the dilation of the pancreatic duct was above 7 mm,44 patients were with common bile duct dilation,32 patients were with inflammatory mass in the head of the pancreas,and 3 patients were with splenomegaly and esophagogastric varices.Surgical procedures were selected according to the symptoms and results of imaging examination.The remission or recurrence of pain was judged according to the visual analog scales.Patients were followed up via out-patient examination,mail or phone call till December 2013.Results Choledochojejunostomy was done on 27 patients,Partington-Rochelle pancreaticojejunostomy on 24 patients,PartingtonRochelle pancreaticojejunostomy + choledochojejunostomy on 6 patients,pancreaticoduodenectomy on 7 patients,resection of the body and tail of the pancreas on 4 patients,Beger's procedure on 3 patients,splenectomy on 3 patients,Frey's procedure + fenestration of bile duct in the head of the pancreas on 3 patients,Frey's procedure on 2 patients,common bile duct exploration + T tube drainage on 1 patient.The remission rate of abdominal pain was 95.2％ (60/63).One patient died of abdominal infection and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome perioperatively.Three patients were complicated with abdominal infection,2 with pancreatic fistula,1 with biliary fistula and 1 with abdominal bleeding.All the complications were cured by conservative treatment.Seventy-nine patients were followed up,and the mean time of follow-up was 58.6 months (range,4-156 months).Thirty patients had recurrence or new onset of abdominal pain,and the recurrence rate was 38.0％ (30/79).Of the 32 patients with inflammatory mass in the head of the pancreas,17 received choledochojejunostomy,and the recurrence rate of abdominal pain was 9/17 ; the other 15 patients received pancreatoduodenectomy,Beger' procedure or Frey's procedure,and the recurrence rate of abdominal pain was 1/15.Of the 41 patients without inflammatory mass,10 received choledochojejunostomy,and the recurrence rate of abdominal pain was 7/10; 30 received PartingtonRochelle pancreaticojejunostomy,and the recurrence rate of abdominal pain was 33.3％ (10/30).Conclusions Complete drainage could relieve the symptoms for patients with pancreatic duct dilation.Surgical resection or combined surgical procedure is effective for the treatment of patients with inflammatory mass in the head of the pancreas.

A reusable chronocoulometric adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-aptamer sensor was developed in this work.A short chain of DNA marked as cDNA containing complementary sequence was immobilized on gold electrode based on Au-S self-assembly.The ATP aptamer was hybridized with cDNA.The surface-confined DNA could bind with [Ru(NH3)63+ (RuHex) in the electrolyte via electrostatic interaction.Upon target ATP binding, the aptamer confined onto electrode surface was disassociated from the cDNA oligonucleotides into the solution.Such surface density change of DNA lead to the decrease of chronocoulometric signal for the RuHex which confined on the electrode surface.The chronocoulometric signals showed a linear relationship with logrithm of ATP concentration in the range of 1 nmol/L to 100 μmol/L, and the detection limit of this aptamer sensor could reach 0.5 nmol/L (S/N=3).This aptamer sensor could be regenerated 5 times by simple steps.With this aptamer sensor, the basal level of ATP in the brain cortex micorodialysate was determined to be 19.2±3.7 nmol/L (n=3).
