Objective:To establish an HPLC-FD method for determining the content of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP1) to lay foundation for its pharmacokinetic study in rats. Methods: Purified ASP1 was labeled with FITC by the method of Belder and Granath to obtain ASP1-FITC. The tissue samples were treated with 30% trichloroacetic acid and 11% NaOH before injection. The samples were determined by HPLC-FD. A PL aquagel-OH MIXED column was used,and the mobile phase was phosphate buffer( dis-solve NaH2PO32. 34g , Na2HPO34. 33 g and NaCl 11. 70 g into 1000 ml water) with pH of 7. 0. The flow rate was 0. 5 ml·min-1. The excitation and emission wavelengths was set at 495 nm and 520 nm, respectively. Results:The linear calibration curve was within the concentration range of 0. 25-40. 00 μg·ml-1(r=0. 9996)with the lower limit of quantification of 0. 20μg·ml-1 in tissue sam-ples. The extraction recovery of ASP1 was determined at low, medium and high concentration with the recovery of 91. 98%-114. 20%. The intra and inter-day RSDs were lower than 8. 31% and 2. 94%, respectively. Conclusion:The method to determine the content of ASP1 in rats by HPLC-FD with pre-column derivatization has been esablished. It is simple, accurate and reliable, which can be suc-cessfully applied in the study of pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of ASP1 in rats.

Objective To observe any influence of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on the formation of glial scars,and to explore how HBO suppresses the inflammatory reaction to injury.Methods A total of 96 healthy,adult,male,Sprague-Dawley rats were used to model cerebral puncture injury.They were then randomized into a control group and a treatment group,with 48 rats in each group.The treatment group received HBO treatment,while the control group received no special treatment.At 1,3,7,14 and 28 days after the puncture injury,the rats' right brain tissues were harvested and immunohistochemical staining was employed to compare the changes in number of astrocytes and microglial cells around the injury in the two groups.The level of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 1 β (IL-1β) in the cerebral tissue was examined using ELISA.Results Among the control group the average wound areas after 7,14 and 28 days were (2.73 ± 0.05)μm2,(3.42 ± 0.18)μm2 and (2.41 ± 0.09) μm2,a significant reduction after 28 days compared with 7 and 14 days.The corresponding average wound areas of rats in the treatment group were (2.78±0.12)μm2,(2.59 ±0.08)μm2 and (1.20 ±0.06)μm2.There the average wound area had decreased significantly after 14 days,and the further reduction after 28 days was also significant.The numbers of GFAP-positive astrocytes at 14 and 28 days had increased significantly compared with after 7 days in both the control group and the treatment group.The average number of GFAP-positive astrocytes in the control group at 28 days had decreased significantly compared with after 14 days.Compared with the control group at the same time points,the number of GFAP-positivc astrocytes in the treatment group was significantly less.After modeling,the number of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule Ⅰ (Ibal)-positive microglial cells increased significantly,but there was a significant decrease in both the control and treatment groups by 7 days.The average number of Ibal-positive microglial cells in the treatment group was significantly less than in the control group at all of the time points.Compared with the first day after modeling,the TNF-α concentration of the controls at 3 and 7 days was significantly higher,but by the 7th day it was significantly lower than it had been after 3 days.The average IL-1β concentration in the control group and TNF-α concentration in the treatment group had increased by day 3,but then decreased by day 7.The IL-1β concentration of the treatment group declined gradually.The average TNF-α and IL-1 β concentrations of the treatment group were significantly lower than those of the control group at all of the time points.Conclusion HBO treatment has a relatively good curative effect on cerebral puncture injury.It can accelerate wound healing and reduce the formation of glial scars.Its mechanism could be related to the deactivation of astrocytes and microglia cells and reducing the levels of cell factors that promote inflammation.

membrane transporters are a cIass of functionaI membrane proteins and mediate the absorption,distribution and eIimination of many drugs. They are biomoIecuIes responsibIe for the homeo-stasis,and they,however,are easiIy reguIated by many kinds of chemicaIs. The IocaIizations,func-tions,substrates and seIective inhibitors of 18 more understanding transporters among the 26 known ones in the kidney are summarized in this review. The impact of these transporters on drug disposition and the typicaI drug-drug interactions concerned are aIso discussed.

Objective To study the construction of the lentiviral-mediated RNA interference(RNAi) vector targering rat suppressors of cytokine signaling 3(SOCS3) gene.Methods Three target sequences were selected by on-line designer software on Ambion according to rat SOCS3 mRNA sequence(NM053565),the complementary DNA contained both sense and antisense oligonucleotides were designed and synthesized.After annealing,these double strands DNA were cloned to pRNA-Lenti-green fluorescent protein(GFP),which contained U6 promoter and GFP.The resulting Lentiviral vector containing SOCS3 shRNA was named pRNA-Lenti-SOCS3-GFP.After the rat glioma cells(C6)were transduced with the constructed 1entiviral vectors,real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the level of SOCS3 expression(including siRNA1 group,siRNA2 group,siRNA3 group,vacuity group and siRNA-Negative group).The pRNA-Lenti-SOCS3-GFP and Lentivector Pakaging plasmid mix were cotransfected into 293T to package Lentivirus particles.Culture supematant was harvested,then the virus titer was determined by serial dilution assay.Results The SOCS3 mRNA sequence was successfully cloned to pRNA-Lenti-GFP,which was proved by PCR and DNA sequence.Compared with control group,the SOCS3 mRNA expressions were obviously suppressed in all 3 experimental groups,especially the expression rate in siRNA1 group was reduced by 80%.The Lentiviral particle titer was determined by serial dilution assay with 1.0?1010 TU?L-1.Conclusion The lentiviral-mediated RNAi vector of rat SOCS3 gene has been constructed successfully,this may provide a potential tool for studying and treating SOCS3-related diseases.

Objective To detect the antibiotic resistance of four kinds of gram-negative bacilli strains against seven antibiotics and to analyze the differences in antibiotic resistance between the strains isolated in intensive care unit (ICU) and common wards.Methods This study involved 3 238 gram-negative bacilli strains isolated in Beijing Tongren Hospital from January to December 2016.Of all strains, 46.6% were isolated in ICU (severe group) and 53.4% were isolated in common wards (general group).Resistance of these strains to seven kinds of antibiotics was detected and the differences between the two groups were analyzed.Results Antibiotic resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to ceftriaxone, cefepime and imipenem were 41.7%, 41.2% and 39.5% in severe group and 20.9%, 21.7% and 17.1% in general group.Moreover, the differences between the two groups were all statistically significant (χ2Cefatriaxone=56.72, P<0.01;χ2Cefepime=49.12, P<0.01;χ2Imipenem=69.81, P<0.01).Antibiotic resistance rates of Klebsiella pneumoniae strains to imipenem was 17.2% in severe group and 8.8% in general group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2Imipenem=11.48, P<0.01).Resistance rates of Escherichia coli strains to ceftriaxone and cefepime were 72.9% and 35.8% in severe group and 44.7% and 13.3% in general group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (χ2Ceftriaxone=40.13, P<0.01;χ2Cefepime=41.61, P<0.01).More than 60% of Acinetobacter baumanii strains whether they were isolated in ICU or in common wards were resistant to all the seven antibiotics, and there were no significant differences between the two groups.Conclusion Gram-negative bacilli strains isolated in ICU have higher resistance rates than those isolated in common wards and therefore antibiotics should be used differently.Regular monitoring of drug resistance should be strengthened to provide references for empirical clinical medication.

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of frequency difference and intensity difference on mismatch negativity (MMN) change in normal persons. Emphatically to observe the effect on the latency and amplitude of normal people's MMN, as well as the threshold of the acoustic difference which may induce the MMN. METHODS Twenty-four adults were included in this study. Their thresholds of pure tone audiometry were within 20dBHL. The MMN were measured by using the Smart EP ( ear potentiometer provided by the company of Intelligent Hearing) and the rule of the change by the difference of frequency and intensity to the latency and amplitude of normal people’s MMN were studied. RESULTS Along with the decreasing of the difference of the frequency, the MMN latency prolonged gradually. The amplitude of the MMN decreased gradually as the decreasing of the intensity difference. CONCLUSION A stable MMN graph is an important indicator of objective physiological test with hearing distinguish.
