Objective:To establish an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of telmisartan and amlodipine besylate in tablets. Methods:The isocratic separation was achieved on a Phenomenex C18 column (150 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) with the mobile phase composed of 50 mmol·L-1 sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer (pH 6. 0, 0. 5% triethylamine)-acetonitrile (40:60, v/v). The flow rate was 1. 0 ml·min-1 , the detection wavelength was 254 nm, the column temperature was 30℃ and the sample size was 20μl. Results:Telmisartan could be well separated from amlodipine besylate under the conditions mentioned above. The linearity be-tween the peak area and the concentration was obtained within the range of 4. 0-80. 0 μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9) for telmisartan and 1. 0-20. 0 μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9) for amlodipine besylate. The mean recovery of telmisartan and amlodipine besylate was 99. 90% and 100. 52%, and RSD was 0. 74% and 1. 48%, respectively (n=9). Conclusion:The method is specific, stable and accurate in the determination of compound telmisartan tablets.

Objective To investigate the testing capabilities of clinical transfusion laboratories in medical institutions in Beijing for the regulatory authorities to formulate administrative policies in this regard.Methods Experts assigned by Beijing Clinical Transfusion Quality Control Center made on-site inspections at the transfusion laboratories in medical institutions using quality control products.They recorded the complete testing process of the operators as well as the instruments,detection reagents in use and the testing results,with statistics and analysis made to the data so collected.Results The pass rate of these on-site inspections was lower than that of the external quality assessment.Some laboratories failed to complete the testing of the quality control products in time and the actual operations in some laboratories were inconsistent to the guidelines.55.9％ of level Ⅰ hospitals and 25.6％ of level Ⅱ hospitals were found with insufficient and inadequate instruments and process layout to meet the needs of clinical blood transfusion.Some of the technicians were found without sufficient trainings in their professional knowledge and basic skills,resulting in their poor competence against emergency cases and weakness in independent problem solving.In addition,the records of detection process and results were found to be substandard.Conclusions Transfusion laboratories in Beijing need to improve their testing capabilities in general.

Objective To investigate the treatment of Pipkin fractures and curative effect. Methods From January 2003 to November 2009, we treated 19 cases of posterior dislocation of the hip with fracture of the femoral head,with type Ⅰ 8 cases, type Ⅱ6 cases, type Ⅲ 1 case, type Ⅳ4 cases. Seventeen patients were treated according to the illness with internal fixation treatment. Results Among type Ⅰ 8 cases, 2 cases were good with conservative treatment, 3 were excellent and 3 were good with surgical treatment;Among type Ⅱ6 cases, 3 were excellent, 2 were good, 1 was fair; 1 patient of type Ⅲ was fair; In 4 cases of type Ⅳ, 1 case was excellent, 2 cases were good, 1 case was fair. Conclusions Surgical treatment as soon as quickly is preferred for posterior dislocation of the hip with fracture of the femoral head( Pipkin fractures) , but the surgical time and methods should be chosen according to patients' detailed illness. It is important reserving the hip bone for preventing traumatic arthritis, and surgical skills to protect blood supply should not be ignored.

Lymphocytic hypophysitis(LH) is a rare but increasingly recognized autoimmune endocrine condition that causes partial or total hypopituitarism and is often associated with peripartum young women.We here report a 28-year-old patient who had a spontaneous and uneventful pregnancy following LH that had been treated with transspenoidal surgery and followed by anti-inflammatory agent.The woman failed to lactate and developed frontal headaches 3 months after normal delivery of her first child 3 years ago.Lab test showed the reduced concentrations of thyroxine,estradial and cortisol,suggesting hypopituitarism.Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain with contrast was performed and showed a uniformly enhancing pituitary mass with elevated optic chiasm.She underwent transsphenoidal surgery and histological examination of the resected specimen was consistent with lymphocytic hypophysitis.Anti-inflamation was started with prednisolone 40 mg per day because of a recurrence of headache that had completely recovered after surgery and regularly withdrawn to a long term maintenance dose of 10 mg per day.Physiological thyroxine replacement therapy was maintained.Her menstruation was restored without sex hormone replacement after 3 months.Three years after surgery,she got pregnant spontaneously and had normal breastfeeding after delivery.LH did not recur during this peripartum.

Adults-onset nesidioblastosis,as a differential diagnosis of organic hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia,is very rare and has been recognised as "noninsulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycaemia syndrome(NIPHS)".Here we described an extremely rare case of NIPHS in an eldly type 2 diabetes mellitus with insulin therapy.A 84-year old male was diagnosed as type 2 diabetes six years ago and switched from an oral hypoglycemic drug to pro-mixed insulin treatment 3 years ago.According to medical records,he had good-glucose control over few hypoglycemia.He was admitted to hospital due to frequent fasting hypoglycaemic episodes and comas despite withdrawal of any anti-diabetes drugs and continous infusion of homogenate meal at night.Lab test showed low fasting glucose level and inappropriate high insulin/C-peptide level,and anti-insulin antibody was negative.A characteristic of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with high C-peptide level was consistent with the possible diagnosis of insulinoma,but localizing studies including computed tomography of the abdomen and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy were negative.Surgical exploration by the palpation and intraoperative ultrasonography failed to detect any mass in the pancreas and 70% distal pancreatectomy was performed.Histological examination of the resected pancrease revealed an increased number and size of islets consistent with nesidioblastosis.After transient decline,his serum insulin travelled back to the level before pancreaectomy,but recurrent fasting hypoglycemia was mild and controlled by regular night eating postpancreaectomy.Abstract:SUMM ARY Adults-onset nesid ioblastosis,as a d ifferential d iagnosis of organic hyperinsulinem ic hypo-glycem ia,is very rare and has been recognised as"noninsulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycaem ia syn-drome(NIPHS)".Here we described an extremely rare case ofNIPHS in an eldly type 2 d iabetesmelli-tus with insulin therapy.A 84-year old male was d iagnosed as type 2 d iabetes six years ago and switched from an oral hypoglycem ic drug to pro-m ixed insulin treatment 3 years ago.Accord ing tomed ical records,he had good-glucose control over few hypoglycem ia.He was adm itted to hospital due to frequent fasting hypoglycaem ic episodes and comas despite withdrawal of any anti-d iabetes drugs and continous infusion of homogenate meal at night.Lab test showed low fasting glucose level and inappropriate high insulin /C-peptide level,and anti-insulin antibody was negative.A characteristic of hyperinsulinem ic hypoglycem ia with high C-peptide level was consistentwith the possible d iagnosis of insulinoma,but localizing stud ies includ ing computed tomography of the abdomen and somatostatin receptor scintigraphy were negative.Surgical exploration by the palpation and intraoperative ultrasonography failed to detect any mass in the pancreas and 70% d istal pancreatectomy was performed.H istological exam ination of the resected pancre-ase revealed an increased number and size of islets consistent with nesid ioblastosis.After transient de-cline,his serum insulin travelled back to the level before pancreaectomy,but recurrent fasting hypoglyce-m ia was m ild and controlled by regular night eating postpancreaectomy.

AIM To establish a quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker (QAMS) method for the simultaneous content determination of four saikosaponins in Xiaozheng Pellets (Bupleuri Radix,Cyperi Rhi-zoma,Rhei Radix et Rhizoma,etc.).METHODS The analysis of 5％ ammonia-methanol extract of this drug was performed on a Waters Xbridge C18column (250 mm ×4.6 mm,5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of acetonitrile-water flowing at 1.0 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and the detection wavelengths were set at 210 nm and 254 nm.With saikosaponin a as a internal standard,the relative correction factors of saikosaponins b1,b2 and c were calculated,followed by the determination of their contents.RESULTS Four saikosaponins showed good linear relationships within their own ranges (r ≥ 0.999 5),whose average recoveries were 98.08％-102.94％ with the RSDs of 0.85％-1.82％.The results obtained by QAMS approximated those obtained by external standard method.CONCLUSION This simple,precise and feasible method can be used for the quality control of Xiaozheng Pellets.

Background Familial hyperaldosteronism type Ⅱ(FH-Ⅱ) is characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance and hyperaldosteronism.Linkage analysis demonstrated chromosome 7q22 most likely harbor the genetic defect.Objective To identify the disease locus in a Chinese pedigree with FH-Ⅱ using genetic linkage analysis.Methods Haplotypes of the FH-Ⅱ pedigree were analyzed using four microsatellite markers(D7S531,D7S2521,D7S511,D7S481) at 7p22 to determine the critical region,and multipoint logarithm of odds(LOD) scores were calculated to assess linkage with FH-Ⅱ.Results Several members(affected members) in the family had hypertension,hypokalemia,hyperaldosteronism,low renin activity.Hypertension and hypokalemia was improved by spironolactone test.Dexamethasone suppression test was performed but without clinical or hyperaldosteronism improvement in three affected members,confirmed FH-Ⅱ family pedigree.The same haplotypes D7S531(ac,n=24)-D7S2521(ac,n=11)-D7S511(ca,n=21)-D7S481(ac,n=16) were shared by all known affected members and one suspicious member,but also by one unaffected member of the family,making it unlikely that this region contains the causative gene mutation.In this FH-Ⅱ family,the LOD scores of the four markers were

ObjectiveTo apply the Schwann cell neurilemma channel(SCNC) in promoting the regeneration of injuried spinal cord.MethodsSpinal cords of rats after laminectomy at T8/9 were divided in 3 groups randomly: 10 rats were transplanted with SCNC(Group A);10 rats only made models(Group B);10 rats were as normal control group(Group C).All rats received behaviour survey and inclined plane test every week 8 weeks after operation.6 weeks after operation,they were measured with cortical somatosensory evoked potential(CSEP).And 8 weeks after operation,all specimens were studied histologically.ResultsCSEP could be recorded in group A and C,but not in group B.There were marked differenties between group A or C and group B in behavior survey,inclined plane test.Amount of nerve fibers regenerated through the injury gap in group A was significantly larger than that in group B.ConclusionSCNC could facilitate axonal regeneration and promote the repairing of injuried spinal cord.

Objective To study the contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)features of surgical margin and its path-ologic basis of the experimental rat model by resecting partial brain tissue.Methods Forty-two rats were randomly divided into six experimental groups (postoperative 1d,3d,7d,14d,21d,28d groups)and one contrast group.A partial resection of the parietooc-cipital region was performed.MRI procedures consisted of T1 WI and T2 WI and contrast enhanced T1 WI,pre-and postcontrast scan-ning were enforced in different postoperative days.Brain tissue samples were obtained after MRI examination.Pathological study was made and the results were compared with MRI findings.Results (1 )The earliest enhancement was observed around surgical margin on the first day after surgery,which enhancement was lasted until 28 days;(2)The enhancement of the surgical margin was significantly increased after 7d,the signal intensity ratio in this period reached the peak,but this ratio between 7d and 14d had no ob-vious disparation.The degree of enhancement gradually weakened in the next few days;(3)The number of neovessels reached the peak at 7d,which was higher than that at other experimental groups and contrast group (P <0.05);The amount of neovessels in 14d,21d and 28d had no obvious disparation (P >0.05).Conclusion The contrast enhanced MRI features of the surgical margins after resected partial brain tissue is related to the time of the postoperation,and the neovascularization plays an importent role in this process.

OBJECTIVE:To compare therapeutic efficacy and safety of different chemotherapy regimens in the treatment of small cell esophageal cancer. METHODS:In retrospective analysis,58 patients with small cell esophageal cancer were divided into group A(18 cases),B(26 cases)and C(14 cases)according to chemotherapy regimens. Group A was given Cisplatin injection 75 mg/m2 intravenously,d1-3+Paclitaxel injection 175 mg/m2,d1-3. Group B was given Cisplatin injection 30 mg/m2 intravenously,d1-3+Et-oposide injection 100 mg/m2,d1-3. Group C was given Vinorelbine tartrate injection 25 mg/m2 intravenously,d1-3+Gemcitabine hydro-chloride for injection 1000 mg/m2,d1-3. A treatment course of 3 groups lasted for 21 d,and they all received 2 cycles of treatment. Clinical efficacies,1,2,3-year survival rate and the incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree toxic reaction(cough,fever,expectoration,short-ness of breath,fatigue,chest pain,bone marrow suppression,gastrointestinal reactions) were compared among 3 groups. RE-SULTS:Total response rate and 1,2,3-year survival rate were in descending order:group C>group B>group A;the incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree cough,fever,expectoration,shortness of breath,fatigue,chest pain were in ascending order:group C0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Therapeutic efficacy and 1,2,3-year survival rate of vinorelbine combined with gemcitabine are significantly higher than those of cisplatin combined with paclitaxel or etoposide with better safety.
