Objective To observe the characteristics of the images of optical coherence tomography (OCT) performed on the patients with vitreomacular traction syndrome and its clinical significance. Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with vitreomacular traction syndrome diagnosed by OCT, fundus fluorescein angiography, and B-scan ultrasonography and confirmed by surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The features of images of OCT in vitreomacular traction syndrome were observed. Results Five types were found in the images of OCT in the patients with vetreomacular traction syndrome. The main characteristic of the images of OCT in the patients with vitreomacular traction was the highly reflective band of the vitreous posterior cortex inservion at fovea. In 25 patients, vitreomacular traction associated with macular edema was found in 10, macular hole in 3, macular epiretinal membrane in 6, retinoschisis in 1, and retinal detachment in 5. Conclusion OCT is a potential powerful toll for detecting and monitoring vitreomacular traction syndrome.

The effects on frozen-thawed sperm survival rate of 16 different cryoprotective media containing different ratio of glycerol (0%, 2.5%, 5% and 7%) and sucrose (0,25,50 and 100 mmol/L) were compared. The results showed that glycerol-sucrose cryoprotective media had better effect on cryoprotection of spermatozoa than that of traditional glycerol protective medium, and appropriately increasing the concentration of sucrose and decreasing the concentration of glycerol could improve sperm motility, and especially benefit to preserve sperm linear motility at 12h postthawed. Using 5% glycerol combined with 50 mmol/L sucrose as cryoprotective medium, the sperm survival rate at 0, 6, 12h postthawed was 85.38%, 51.22%, 33.38%, respectively, the linear moving sperm survival rate was 83.74%, 33.33%, 18.38% respectively.

Objective To investigate the incidence and distribution of aberrational karyotype in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and study the significance of the grouping by Southwest Oncology Group/Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (SWOG/ECOG) in the prognosis of AML Methods The chromosome was prepared with brief culture of bone marrow, and the karyotype was analysed by G banding technique. All the patients were grouped according to the criterion of SWOG/ECOG, and the survival function of different groups was observed by the Kaplan-Meier method.Results 56 (67.47 %) out of 83 patients had clonal chromosome aberrations. Among those 56 patients, AML with translocation (15;17) and with translocation (8;21) presented in 30 patients(53.57 %), and the other kinds of aberrational karyotypes shared the left proportion. Among the 74 followed-up patients, 42 patients were dead. Among three groups with favorable, intermediate and adverse prognosis respectively, there is a significant difference (P <0.001). The complete remission rate of favorable group is higher than that of both intermediate and adverse (P <0.05). There is no difference between intermediate and adverse groups(P>0.05). Conclusion Cytogenetic aberration is one of the important factors affecting the effect on prognosis. The criterion of SWOG/ECOG can predict prognosis objectively.

The study aims to establish a method for simultaneous determination of repaglinide and pravastatin sodium in rat plasma by LC-MS/MS and to study its pharmacokinetic interactions. Eighteen male SD rats were divided into repaglinide group, pravastatin sodium group and co-administration group. Blood samples were collected at different times after oral administration. Repaglinide and pravastatin sodium in rat plasma were separated by Agilent HC-C18 with the mobile phase consisting of methanol-0.1% formic acid (80 : 20). Detection and quantification were performed by using ESI-MS. The detector was operated in selected Reaction-monitoring mode at m/z 453.3-->230.1 for repaglinide, m/z 447.2-->327.4 for pravastatin sodium and m/z 285.1-->192.9 for diazepam as the internal standard. The calibration curve obtained was linear (R2>0.99) over the concentration range of 9.77-10,000 ng.mL-1 for repaglinide and 4.88-625 ng.mL-1 for pravastatin sodium. Compared with the single administration group, Cmax and AUC0-6h of repaglinide increased significantly (P<0.05) and tmax of pravastatin sodium prolonged (P<0.05) in co-administration group. The method is found to be simple, sensitive and accurate for determining the concentration of repaglinide and pravastatin sodium in rat plasma. There exists pharmacokinetic interactions in the co-administration of repaglinide and pravastatin sodium.

Objective: To build a mouse tumor model with a manufactured surgical wound representing acute inflammation, and to evaluate the relationship between acute inflammation or wound healing and the process of tumor growth. Then to observe the impact of IFN-γ/TGF-β on tumor growth. Methods: Male C57BL mice of six weeks were used and divided into the experiment group and the control group. The B16F10 mela-noma cell suspension was injected into the left groin area of each mouse. A wound measured 1 cm in diame-ter was built on the opposite side of bodies in the experiment group when tumor volume was about 0.5 cm~3.The expression of IFN-γ/TGF-β in blood serum and tumor tissues were examined by ELISA. In order to fur-ther confirm the effect of TGF-β on tumor growth, another 16 mice models with melanoma were established and 8 of them received IFN-γ injection (the experiment group). Results: When acute inflammation had influenc-es on tumor, a two-phase development was presented. In the early phase, the growth of tumor in the mice with wound was slower than that in the control group. In the early phase, the release of IFN-γ was higher and the release of TGF-β was lower in the experiment group. In the later phase, the growth of tumor in the mice with wound was similar to that in the controls and the release of TGF-β was higher. In vivo experiment con- firmed the above results. In the early phase, the release of TGF-β was not significantly different between the experiment group and the control group (P>0.05). In the later phase, the release of TGF-β in the experiment group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: In the early phase of acute inflamma-tion, inhibitory effects of IFN-y on tumor growth were presented. In the later phase, the inhibited tumor was re-sistant to IFN-γ through the release of TGF-β to balance the effect of inflammatory factors on tumor cells.

Objective:To explore the effect of quality control circle ( QQC) on the error control in PIVAS. Methods:QQC group was established in the department of PIVAS to reduce the errors in intravenous admixture practice. The status was analyzed using the total errors per week as the index, and the improvement target value was calculated by the eighty-twenty rule. The concrete causes for the errors were found out by the method of“brain storm”, and the main causes were confirmed using a fishbone diagram and the eighty-twenty rule, and then some countermeasures were summarized and carried out. The application effect of QQC was judged by the intan-gible and tangible outcomes before and after the activity, and some suggestions for the further improvement were provided. Results:Af-ter the implementation of QQC activity, the number of errors was reduced from 47 per week to 22 per week with the rate of target a-chievement of 104. 1% and the progress rate of 53. 2%. Moreover, QQC showed positive influence on the sense of being masters, co-operation ability, team spirit and sense of responsibility and confidence in the whole staff, and the ability of analyzing, summarizing and solving problems was also enhanced. Conclusion: QQC can significantly reduce the errors in the practice of intravenous admix-ture. The management method is valuable to explore and analyze the deep problems encountered in PIVAS in order to make rational and efficient measures. It is also helpful to improving the service conception of pharmacists and nurses, and enhancing the roles of pharma-cists in quality management and control to ensure medication safety.
