Objective To establish a RP-HPLC method for determination of the concentrations of dextromethorphan and its metabolites dextrorphan in human urine.Methods Phenacetine was used as internal standard,and the urine sample was hydrolyzed by enzyme,alkalified and extracted with hexane-butanol(91).The separation was carried out on DiamonsilTM C18 column(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) with mobile phase of acetonitrile-1% triethylamine buffer solution(pH adjusted to 2.2 with H3PO4).Gradient elution was done for 0-15 min(20%-35% A).The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min.The detection wavelength was set at 280 nm and the column temperature was 40℃.Results The linear ranges of dextromethorphan and dextrorphan were 0.05-2.0 ?g/ml(r=0.999 9,n=5) and 0.5-20.0 ?g/ml(r=0.999 9,n=5),respectively,and their lowest detecting concentrations were 0.04 ?g/ml and 0.4 ?g/ml,respectively.The intra-day and inter-day precision were both less than 10%.The low,middle and high extraction recoveries were between 94%-108%.Conclusion Our method is accurate and sensitive,and is suitable for the CYP2D6 phenotype analysis and pharmacokinetic studies of dextromethorphan and its metabolites in human.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of diffusion weighted imaging ( DWI) for progres-sion free survival(PFS)in patients with cervix cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT).Methods Thirty two consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer underwent MRI including DWI before and after NACT.Pathologic results and MR images were reviewed .Univariate analysis was applied by Kaplan -Meier method.The Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate prognostic variables for multivariate analysis .Re-ceiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curves were used to find optimal cutoff values of independent prognostic fac -tors for disease progression.Results Of 32 patients,10 had disease progression during follow -up period.In uni-variate analysis,FIGO stage,tumor size,the depth of tumor invasion,lymph node metastasis and ADC changes be-tween before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (ΔADC) were significantly associated with the disease progres-sion.In multivariate analysis , FIGO stage and ΔADC were the independent prognostic factors for PFS .Optimal cutoff values that determined by ROC curves analyses were FIGO stage ⅡandΔADC 0.31.Area under the ROC curve(AUC)of FIGO stage and ΔADC were 0.841(sensitivity 90.0%,specificity 68.2%)and 0.864(sensitivity 80.0%,specificity 81.8%),respectively.Conclusion In patients with cervix cancer after NACT ,FIGO stage andΔADC are significant predictive values for PFS .

Background Krüppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) is related to the physiological or pathological process,such as growth,cell differentiation,proliferation,apoptosis,angiogenesis,tissue repair,and so on.But in ophthalmology,it is less reported about the expressing level of KLF6 protein in lens epithelial cclls (LECs) or the effect of KLF6 on the proliferation of human LECs.Objective This study was to investigate whether KLF6 can inhibit proliferation of human LECs.Methods KLF6 eukaryotic expression plasmid (pEGFP-C2-KLF6) was constructed using reverse transcription PCR(RT-PCR) and identified by double enzyme digestion method and PCR.Human LECs strain (HLE-B3) was cultured and passaged using low glucose DMEM containing 10％ fetal bovine serum and then divided into 4 groups.KLE-B3 transfection reagents were added in the culture medium of all groups.In addition,no agent was used in the blank control group;only insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) was appended to the medium in only IGF-1 group ;null vector was transfected and IGF-1 was appended in the null plasmid transfection+ IGF-1 group;while pEGFP-C2-KLF6 eukaryotic expression plasmid was transfected into the cells,and simultaneously IGF-1 was added in the pEGFP-C2-KLF6 plasmid transfection+IGF-1 group.After 24 hours of intervene,water soluble tetrazolium salt-1 (WST-1) test was used to detect the growth status of the cells,and Western blot assay was used to assay the relative expressing level of KLF6 protein in the cells.In the other hand,the cells were cultured at the density of 1 ×104/piece,and 0,0.10 and 0.25 μg pEGFP-KLF6 were transfected into each piece of cells respectively,and then IGF-1 was added with a final concentration of 50 μg/L for 24 hours after cell culture.Expressions of Ki-67 protein and mRNA in the cell pieces were detected by immunocytochemistry and fluorescent semiquantitative PCR,respectively.Results The PCR product bands were consistent with KLF-6 gene in length,and the product fragments were corresponding with expectant ones via PCR and double enzyme digestion method,showing a successful construction of pEGFP-C2-KLF6 eukaryotic expression plasmid.After 24 hours of IGF-1 stimulation,the absorbance values of the cells were 0.86±0.00,2.10±0.01,2.24±0.12 and 1.06±0.02 in the blank control group,only IGF-1 group,null plasmid transfection + IGF-1 group and the pEGFP-C2-KLF6 plasmid transfection + IGF-1 group,with a significant difference among the 4 groups (F =38.322,P ＜ 0.05),and that in the pEGFP-C2-KLF6 plasmid transfection +IGF-1 group was significantly lowed in comparison with the only IGF-1 group and the null plasmid transfection+IGF-1 group (q=6.42,7.31,both at P＜0.05).Western blot assay showed that the relative expressing levels of KLF6 protein were statistically different among the four groups (F =591.858,P＜0.05),and those in the pEGFP-C2-KLF6 plasmid transfection+IGF-1 group were 1.47,2.04,3.27 folds higher than those in the blank control group,only IGF-1 group,respectively and null plssmid transfection+IGF-1 group,respectively.Immunocytochemistry revealed that the expressing intensity of Ki-67 protein was gradually weakened with the decrease of pEGFP-C2-KLF6 plasmid dose in the 0,0.10 and 0.25 μg pEGFP-C2-KLF6 plasmid transfection+IGF-1 groups.Fluorescence semiquantitative PCR results showed that the relative expression values of Ki-67 mRNA in the cells were O.15±0.08 and 0.11±0.03 in the 0.10 μg and 0.25 μg pEGFP-C2-KLF6 plasmid transfection+ IGF-1 groups,which were significantly lower than O.77± 0.12 of the 0 μg pEGFP-C2-KLF6 plasmid transfection group,with a statistically significant difference among the three groups (F =54.825,P＜0.05).Conclusions KLF-6 can effectively inhibit IGF-1-induced proliferation of human LECs,and it can be regarded as one of the regulatory factors of the proliferation of HLE-B3 cells.
