A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of butoconazole in human plasma. Human plasma samples of 0.2 μL were pretreated by a single step protein precipitation procedure and analyzed using a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) electrospray tandem mass spectrometer system. The compounds were eluted isocratically on an Inertsil ODS-SP column (100 mm×2.1 mm, 3 μm), ionized using a positive ion atmospheric pressure electrospray ionization source and analyzed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The ion transitions monitored were m/z 412.8→165.1 for butoconazole and m/z 453.4→230.3 for the internal standard. The chromatographic run time was 3.5 min per injection, with retention time of 2.47 min and 2.15 min for butoconazole and repaglinide, respectively. The method was validated to be linear over the range of 20 to 8000 pg/mL (r>0.999) by using a weighted (1/x(2)) quadratic regression. The mean recovery rate was more than 86.7%, and the intra- and inter-day precision of the quality control samples (QCs) was less than 8.3% and the accuracy ranged from 96.0% to 110.2%, which indicated that the quantitative method was reliable and accurate. The method is simple, rapid, and has been applied successfully to a pharmacokinetics study of butoconazole nitrate suppositories in healthy Chinese females.

Objective To evaluate the short term effect of bipolar arthroplasties in aged cases with intertrochanteric fractures.Methods There were 23 males and 15 females(at age of 70-93 years, average 76 years)with unstable intertrochanteric fractures treated with the third generation cementing techniques and bipolar arthroplasties that were followed up for average 2.4 years.The clinical effect was evaluate with Harris scale,X-ray films and complications.Results Of all,34 cases(89.5%)could walk freely.The average Harris scale was 84.2 points.The average period until walk with full-weight load was 5.6 weeks.The greater trochanters was united in 35 cases(92%)during average 4.2 months.No peri-prothetic ossteolysis and loosening or subsidence occurred.Conclusions Cemented bipolar arthro- plasty has good advantages of reduced laying up period and few complications.The short-term outcome is satisfactory hut the long-term outcome needs deeper observation.

Objective To observe ultrasonic and PET/CT features of malignant lymphoma after chemotherapy and to determine the value in assessment of lymphoma treatment response.Methods Seventy-seven lymph nodes in 32 patients were observed and measured with color Doppler ultrasound and PET/CT after chemotherapy comparing with pathologic results.Results Seventy-two lymph nodes were exactly certified by ultrasound(94.8%),and seventy-five nodes were exactly confirmed by PET/CT(97.4%).There were significant differences in L/S,blood supply type,Vmax,Vmin,RI(P＜0.05)between nodes groups with and without residual tumor.The PET/CT inspection demonstrates that lymph nodes with residual tumor was in the high metabolism condition.The positive nodes'index of ultrasound were connected with their metabolism condition.Conclusions The two methods all have high rate of accuracy.Ultrasound can be used as normal method in assessment of lymphoma treatment response.

Objective: Adult-onset Still's disease(AOSD)is a rare but clinically well-known polygenic systemic autoinflammatory disease.In this review,we aim to present frontiers in the pathogenesis,clinical features,diagnosis,biomarkers,disease course,prognosis,and treatment in AOSD.Data sources: We retrieved information from the PubMed database up to July 2019,using various search terms and relevant words,including AOSD and Still's disease.Study selection: We included data from peer-reviewed journals.Both basic and clinical studies were selected.Results: Pathogenesis of AOSD involves genetic background,infectious triggers,and immunopathogenesis,mainly the activation of macrophages and neutrophils followed by a cytokine storm.Diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of AOSD is still challenging;therefore,there is an urgent need to identify better biomarkers.Biologic agents,including interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α antagonists in the treatment of AOSD,have good prospect.Conclusion: This review highlights the advances in pathogenesis,potential biomarkers,disease course,and treatment in AOSD.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how Zuogui pills from the Kidney-tonifying and Nourishing Yin formula, in combination with the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone antagonist cetrorelix, affected the ovarian local oxidative stress response in decreasing ovarian reserve (DOR) mice. All animal experiments were carried out in accordance with the guidelines and standards established by Jinan University's Experimental Animal Management Committee. Cyclophosphamide (CTX)-treated DOR mice were given Zuogui pills, cetrorelix, or a combination of the two drugs intragastrically. After treatment, there were changes in the estrous cycle, serum sex hormone levels, oxidative stress-related indexes, growth biochemical factor levels, and SIRT1/P53/P21 expression. In comparison to the model group, the Zuogui pills and the cetrorelix+Zuogui pills group had significantly prolonged estrous periods and shortened interestrous periods, and the cetrorelix+Zuogui pills group had a significantly shortened cycle length. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) decreased and estradiol (E₂) increased in all treatment groups compared to the model group, oxidative stress indexes nitric oxide synthase (NOS), nitric oxide (NO), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) decreased, growth biochemical factors brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF-9) concentrations increased significantly, and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) showed no significant change. SIRT1/P53/P21 immunohistochemical results revealed that, when compared to the model group, the expression of SIRT1 increased while the expression of P53 and P21 proteins decreased in all treatment groups, with the cetrorelix+Zuogui pills group having the largest decrease, with significant differences in all indicators. We conclude that cetrorelix combined with Zuogui pills for kidney nourishing and Yin recipe improved the oxidative stress response in the follicle by regulating the SIRT1/P53/P21 pathway, reducing peroxide product production, protecting ovarian function, and regulating ovarian hormone secretion, and its efficacy is superior to that of cetrorelix or Zuogui pills alone.
