This paper is to report the development of a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of s-oleylpropanolamide (OPA) in various tissues of rat (brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, small intestine, kidney, adipose tissue and muscle), and to assess the applicability of the assay to tissue distribution. OPA was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction method with undecylenoylethanolamide as an internal standard. The concentrations of OPA were determined by LC-MS/MS after a single intragastric dose of 50 mg x kg(-1) at 4 time points (5 rats per group). With multiple reactions monitoring mode (MRM) the limit of quantification (LLOQ) was determined at 1 microg x L(-1). The calibration curve was linear from 1 to 2 x 104 microg x L(-1) (r > or = 0.999 0) for tissue homogenates. Validation parameters such as accuracy, precision and recovery were found to be within the acceptance criteria of the assay validation guidelines. The highest concentration was found in small intestine (the highest time point is 15 min) and heart (the highest time point is 90 min). The assay is rapid, sensitive and applicable to studying tissue distribution of OPA in rats.

Objective To construct 131 I labeled anti?EGFR immunoliposome nanoparticle ( 131 I?Cetuaximab ( C225)?BSA?PCL) , and investigate its inhibitory effect on EGFR?overexpressing cancer cells in vitro. Methods Anti?EGFR liposome nanoparticle C225?BSA?PCL and non?targeted liposomes BSA?PCL were constructed. The products were observed with transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scat?tering. The EGFR?targeted binding and cellular uptake in EGFR?overexpressing cancer cells were observed with flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Anti?EGFR and non?targeted liposomes were labeled with 131 I using the chloramine?T method. The targeted cell killing effects of 131 I labeled liposomes were analyzed using MTT assay. The time?dependent cellular uptake analysis was used to evaluate the slow?release effects of the 131 I labeled liposomes. The independent?samples t test was used for data analysis. Results The EG?FR?targeted liposome C225?BSA?PCL and non?targeted liposome BSA?PCL were successfully constructed, and the effective diameters were approximately 130-180 nm. Flow cytometry and confocal microscopy re?vealed significant uptake of C225?BSA?PCL in EGFR?overexpressing tumor cells. BSA?PCL could also bind to cells with minimal and weak tumor retention. The EGFR?targeted radioactive liposome 131I?C225?BSA?PCL showed greater targeted cell killing effect than non?targeted liposome 131I?BSA?PCL,the IC50 values of 131I?C225?BSA?PCL and 131 I?BSA?PCL were 0. 03-1. 32 and 0. 25-12. 19, respectively. The uptakes of 131 I?C225?BSA?PCL was higher than that of 131 I?BSA?PCL ( t=3.03-16.86, all P<0.05) and reached the maxi?mal level at 4 h after incubation. Conclusions The EGFR?targeted liposome C225?BSA?PCL demonstrated superior cellular binding and uptake on EGFR?overexpressing cancer cells compared with BSA?PCL.

Objective To identify gene mutations and explore the molecular mechanism of a pedigree with inherited coagulation F Ⅶ deficiency. Methods The levels of F Ⅶ: Ag in the proband and other family members were measured by ELISA assay. The values of PT, F Ⅶ: C and other coagulant parameters were determined by one-stage clotting for laboratory phenotype diagnosis. All the exons,exon-intron boundaries and 5',3' untranslated sequences of F7 gene were amplified by direct sequencing. The detected mutations were further confirmed by sequencing the other stand. The CLC Protein Workbench software was used to analyze the species conservation of the mutated site and the protein secondary structure. 100 healthy individuals were selected to exclude gene polymorphism. Results PT, FⅦ∶C and FⅦ: Ag in the proband and his sister were abnormal, which were 36. 3 s, 5.0%, 40. 7% and 33.4 s,5. 0%, 37.4%, respectively. Both PT and FⅦ∶C in the proband's father, mother, daughter and niece were slightly abnormal, which were 14.9 s, 14. 6 s, 15.5 s, 14. 6 s and 70%, 85%, 59%, 79%, respectively.The heterozygous mutations c. 784T > C and c. 964T > G in exon 8 of F7 gene were found in the proband,resulting in the substitutions of Ser269Pro and Cys329Gly respectively. Compound heterozygous mutations c. 784T > C and c. 964T > G were found in the proband's sister. The proband's mother was heterozygous for c. 784T > C. His father, daughter and niece were heterozygous for c. 964T > G. The protein biological characteristics analysis revealed that the Cys329Gly caused the change of spatial configuration, and Ser269Pro led to the change of amino acid polarity and hydrophobicity. Conclusion Compound heterozygous mutations of Cys329Gly and Ser269 Pro in F7 gene may be the underlying molecule mechanism of FⅦ deficiency in this pedigree.

Objective To explore the association between the C46T polymorphism of coagulation factor Ⅻ (FⅫ) gene and the involvement of FⅫ activity (FⅫ:C) in patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA), and to elucidate its role in the pathogenesis of URSA. Methods This study included 203 patients with URSA (URSA group) and 171 healthy women with at least one child and no history of infertility or miscarriage (control group) in the southern area of Zhejiang Province. The C 46T polymorphism of the FⅫ gene was analyzed with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) in all subjects. The values of prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen, FⅫ:C and other coagulant parameters were determined. The frequency distribution of the wild-type (CC), heterozygote (CT), homozygote (TT) genotypes and C and T alleles were compared between the patients and controls. A comprehensive analysis of association was conducted between C46T genotypes and the FⅫ:C levels in URSA patients. Results The CC, CT, TT genotypes of the FⅫgene were observed in 7 (3.4%, 7/203), 83 (40.9%, 83/203) and 113 (55.7%, 113/203) patients with URSA versus 7 (4.1%, 7/171), 46 (26.9%, 46/171) and 118 (69.0%, 118/171) controls. The frequency of CT in the patients with URSA was significantly higher than that in controls, but the frequency of TT in the patients was lower than that in controls (χ2=7.939, OR=1.884, 95%CI:1.210-2.935, P<0.05). The frequencies of allele C and allele T were observed in 97 (23.9%, 97/406) and 309 (76.1%, 309/406) patients with URSA versus 60 (17.5%, 60/342) and 282 (82.5%, 282/342) controls. The distribution frequency of allele T in URSA group was lower than that in control group (χ2=4.510, OR=1.475, 95%CI:1.029-2.115, P<0.05). The FⅫ:C levels in the patients were (102±13)%in CC genotype, (78±11)%in CT genotype and (59± 9)%in TT genotype, respectively. The differences of the FⅫ:C levels between the CC and CT, CT and TT, CC and TT genotypes in the patients were significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions The low level of FⅫ:C maybe result from the T allele of the FⅫgene in URSA patients. The CT genotype might be relative to the pathogenesis of URSA in a Chinese Han female population from the southern area of Zhejiang province.
