AIM: To establish the method of determining procyanidin B2 content in grape seed extract by HPLC. METHODS: The determination was carried out with ZORBAX SB-C_ 18 column. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-2% acetate buffer under the gradient elution condition, detection wavelength was at 280nm. RESULTS: There was a good linear relationship between the peak area and concentration in the range of 1~30 ?g/mL for procyanidin B2. The average of procyanidin B2 (n=5) was 99.29% and RSD=1.64%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The method is simple, accurate, reproducible and can be used for assay of procyanidin B2.

Objective:To observe dynamic change of phosphorylated tau protein and non phosphorylated tau protein in axon and explore whether GSK3 in serum were related with phosphorylated tau protein in brain of EAE mice.Methods: Mice were randomly divided into six groups:EAE group of acute stage,EAE group of paralytic stage,EAE group of remission stage,control group of acute stage,control group of paralytic stage,control group of remission stage,each group had twelve mice.EAE model were constructed by MOG35-55 peptides in EAE group, the saline was used in control group.The nerve function scores and incidence were observed and compared.We observed degree of brain inflammation by HE staining and measured axons which contained two kinds of tau protein by immunohistochemistry.GSK3 in serum was tested to find correlation with phosphorylated tau protein in brain by ELISA method.Results:Nerve function scores in EAE group were higher than control group.The degree of inflammation damage was more serious in EAE group than control group,gradually enhancing with time.Phosphorylated tau protein in brain gradually increased before mice paralyzing(P<0.01),but it decreased when symptom relieved(P<0.01).GSK3 in serum were correlated with phosphorylated tau protein in brain(r=0.9326,P<0.01),linear regression equation:Y=2.950+0.418X.Conclusion:Phosphorylated tau protein in brain are correlated with axon damage and GSK3 in serum could indirectly reflect axon damage in brain.

Objective To determine the serum levels of cross-linked telopoptide of type Ⅰ collagen (ICTP),alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in patients with primary malignant bone tumor,primary benign bone tumor and malignant tumor metastasized to the bone,and to explore the clinical value of ICTP and ALP in identification and diagnosis of bone tumor.Methods Sixteen primary malignant bone tumor patients,16 primary benign bone tumor patients and 18 malignant tumor metastasized to the bone patients in 2012 were studied.Serum ALP was assayed by SFBC rate method and ICTP by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (EIA).Results The serum levels of ICTP was not significantly different between primary benign bone tumors and normal control group (P > 0.05),but the other between-groups had statistically significant difference (P < 0.05).The serum levels of ALP in malignant tumor metastasized to the bone was significantly higher than the rest of the group (P <0.01),but the difference between the remaining groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).The area under roc curve (AUC) of ICTP for diagnosis of primary benign bone tumors,malignant tumor metastasized to the bone,primary malignant bone tumor (0.923,0.926,0.874) was higher than the ALP (0.354,0.702,0.865).Conclusions Serum ICTP and ALP were sensitive and convenient biochemical indices which reflected metabolism of patients with bone tumor.Serum ICTP was more specific and sensitive than ALP and they have clinical importance for differential diagnosis as an index of bone tumor.

Objective To evaluate the application of Addenbrooke′s cognitive examination revised(ACE?R)scale to evaluate cognitive function in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD). Methods We used ACE?R scale to evaluate the cognitive function on 205 cases of CKD patients received outpatient and inpatient treatment in renal Department of four hospitals in Nanjing. One?way ANOVA analysis ,receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve and other statistical methods were adopted to compare differences. Results (1)There is significant difference of ACE?R scale scores among group NC?NCDs(89.18 ± 4.80),group Mild?NCDs(77.28 ± 5.80)and group Major?NCDs(55.90 ± 10.90)(F = 292.28,P < 0.01). There is significant difference between any two groups(all P<0.01).(2)(ACE?R)scale(AUC=0.944,P<0.01)showed significantly higher sensitivity than mini?mental state examination(MMSE)scale(AUC = 0.777,P < 0.01)on identifying Mild?NCDs patients with chronic kidney disease(P < 0.01);(3)The optimal cut?off value of total ACE?R score between group NC?NCDs and group Mild?NCDs was 83/84,(sensitivity 88.00%,specificity 85.90%,Youden index 0.739),the optimal cut?off value between group Mild?NCDs and group Major?NCDs was 83/84(sensitivity 89.70%,specificity 96.10%, Youden index 0.858). Conclusion ACE?R possesses a good ability in distinguishing different severity of cognitive impairment in patients with CKD. ACE?R can effectively identify early mild cognitive impairment ,which is suitable for clinical application as a tool to evaluating and studying of cognitive function in patients with CKD.

Objective To investigate the relationship between satisfaction of nursing service and nurses' personality and mental state.Methods 368 nurses ,288 patients and 234 dependents involved the investigation.Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory(MMPI)was used to analyze nurses' personality.Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90),Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)were used to analyze nurses' mental states.A self-made questionnaire on satisfaction was used to investigate the satisfaction degree of patients and dependents with nursing service.The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis.Results The average score on satisfaction with the nurses' service was(8.29±0.98)and the average score on satisfaction with nurses' attitude was(8.19±1.21).The satisfaction with nurses' service was negatively correlated with the MMPI factors of manifest anxiety and dependency and positively with dominance of MMPI(both P<0.05).Satisfaction with nurses' attitude was negatively correlated with total score of SAS,dependency of MMPI,compulsion,anxiety,hostility and paranoid ideation of SCL-90(all P<0.05).Satisfaction with the service attitude was positively correlated with social responsibility of MMPI(P<0.05). Conclusion Satisfaction degree of patients and their dependents is related to nurses' personality and mental states.It's helpful to establish good relationship between nurses and patients and improve the clinical nursing service to perfect nurse's personality and relieve psychological stress on nurses.
