OBJECTIVETo dicuss the clinical efficacy of Timolol Maleate Eye Drops in the treatment of superficial infantile hemangiomas. Methods From April 2012 to May 2014, 210 patients with superficial infantile hemangiomas were included. According to the parents' choice, a total of 176 cases were treated with Timolol Maleate Eye Drops as the treatment group, and the 34 cases who received the treatment of "wait and see" was included in the control group. In the treatment group, the gauzes were dipped into the eye drops and putted evenly on the surface of the hemangioma, 3-4 times daily and lasted for more than 20 minutes. The gauze should completely cover the surface of the tumor. The follow-up periods were 3 weeks and 6 months after treatment with the pictures to record the treatment effect. The therapeutic effect was graded as: grade I (unable to control the growth of the hemangioma), II (the growth of the hemangioma stagnated), III (hemangioma significantly subsided), IV (the hemangioma completely disappeared). The effective rate included the cases with grade II and above grade II . The cure cases included the cases with grade IV. The data was analyzed with the statistical software SPSS 17.0 and the Chi-square test (P < 0.05).

RESULTS3 cases in the treatment group showed eczema action. Tumor ulcer happened in 1 case in treatment group. The side effect rate was 2.3% . The results at 3 weeks following in the treatment group showed that the growth of the hemangioma were stagnated in 154 cases. The color of hemangioma became darker in different degrees than before, and the texture of the hemangioma became soft in majority of children, and the thickness of hemangioma became thinner in some cases. However, only 4 cases showed the hemangiomas were subsided, 18 cases showed the color of the part of the hemangiomas were brighter than before, and 12 cases of the hemangiomas remained original state in the control group. The results of 6 weeks following the treatment showed that 18 patients in the treatment group reached the standard of the grade IV, 84 patients reached the standard of the grade III, 60 patients achieved in the standard of grade II, and only 14 patients showed the volume of hemangiomas were increased as grade I. The effective rate was 58. 0% , and the cure rate was 10. 2% in treatment group. In control group, no children reached the standard of the grade IV, 4 cases reached the standard of grade III, 13 cases who remained original state reached the standard of grade II, and 17 cases showed the volume of hemangiomas continued to increase as grade I . The effective rate was 11. 8% , and the cure rate was 0. By comparison, the effective rate and the cure rate in the control group were relatively lower than those in the treatment group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe efficacy of Timolol Maleate Eye Drops in the treatment of superficial infantile hemangioma is exact, especially in the proliferative phase of the infantile hemangioma. It is safe and easy to perform with mild side effect. It should be selected as first-line treatment.

Objective To evaluate the change of left atrial function after mitral valvuloplasty in patients with mitral valve prolapse by measuring left atrial strain using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography(2D-STE).Methods Study population consisted of 25 patients with mitral valve prolapse and 25 healthy subjects.High frame rate two-dimensional images were recorded from the apical four chamber view and two chamber view.Images of patients with mitral valve prolapse were respectively recorded at pre-operation,3 days and 3 months post-operation.Left atrial longitudinal strain was measured in two views using two-dimensional strain soft ware.Results ①Compared with the control group,global peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS),peak atrial contraction strain (PACS) and atrial longitudinal strain during early diastole(ALSED) decreased (P ＜0.01) in patients with mitral valve prolapse,but global timeto-peak of peak atrial longitudinal strain(TPLS) increased(P ＜0.01).Regurgitant jet area/left atrium area (RJA/LAA) in patients with mitral valve prolapse correlated negatively with global PALS(r =-0.620,P ＜ 0.01).② Compared with preoperative group,global PALS,PACS,ALSED and TPLS decreased significantly at 3 days after surgery(P ＜0.01).Global PALS,ALSED(P ＜0.01) and PACS(P ＜0.05)increased at 3 months after surgery,but global TPLS did not differ significantly.Conclusions 2D-STE could accurately evaluate the change of left atrial function after mitral valvuloplasty.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic range of tacrolimus and effects of tacrolimus on liver and re- nal functions and blood routine in renal transplant recipients.Method:The whole blood tacrolimus concentration was meas- ured by micro-particle enzyme immunoassay(MEIA).Blood tacrolimus concentrations in 390 cases of renal transplant re- cipients were analyzed.The effects of tacrolimus on liver and renal function and blood routine were also studied.Result: The blood tacrolimus concentrations in 377 of 390 cases were within the range from 3 to 15?g?L~(-1).Their blood tacrolimus concentration differed greatly in renal transplant recipients within 6 months after transplantation.Their blood tacrolimus concentration was gradually decreased as time went on.Tacrolimus with therapeutic dosage had no effects on liver and renal function and blood routine.Conclusion:The therapeutic ranges of tacrolimus with MEIA were as follows:5 to 15?g?L~(-1) within 3 months after transplantation,5 to 10?g?L~(-1)between 4 to 6 months after transplantation,3 to 10?g?L~(-1)6 months after transplantation.The administration of tacrolimus had no effects on the liver and renal function and blood routine in re- nal transplant recipients.

AIM: To purify and refold the inclusion body of a human anti-HBsAg scFv with a 6?His tag, and to determine the affinity constant of the purified recombinant product.METHODS: Solubilizing in buffers containing urea or guanidine hydrochloride (GuHCl), the inclusion body was purified by IMAC, and then refolded by dialysis against urea or GuHCl, at the same time, Ni 2+ charged chelate column was utilized for in situ refolding. The affinity constant of the refolded scFv, polished by immune-affinity chromatography, was determined by non-competitive ELISA. RESULTS: The refolded scFv with highest specific bioactivity was produced by dialysis against GuHCl. Under this condition, the recovery of target protein reached (61.08?1 45)%. The affinity constant of the polished scFv was confirmed to be(2.30?0.32) ?10 7 L/mol. CONCLUSION: The inclusion body studied in this paper can be refolded efficiently under optimal dialysis condition in vitro . The antigen-binding property of this recombinant scFv is not affected by the purification tag fused to the N terminal of the protein.

Quantitative models were established to analyze the content of chlorogenic acid and soluble solid content in the liquid-liquid extraction of Reduning injection by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Seven batches of extraction solution from the liquid-liquid extraction of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Artemisiae Annuae Herba were collected and NIR off-line spectra were acquired. The content of chlorogenic acid and soluble solid content were determined by the reference methods. The partial least square (PLS) and artificial neural networks (ANN) were used to build models to predict the content of chlorogenic acid and soluble solid content in the unknown samples. For PLS models, the R2 of calibration set were 0.9872, 0.9812, RMSEC were 0.1533, 0.7943, the R2 of prediction set were 0.9837, 0.9733, RMSEP were 0.2464, 1.2594, RSEP were 3.25%, 3.31%, for chlorogenic acid and soluble solid content, respectively. For ANN models, the R2 of calibration set were 0.9903, 0.9882, RMSEC were 0.0974, 0.4543, the R2 of prediction set were 0.9868, 0.9699, RMSEP were 0.1920, 0.9427, RSEP were 2.61%, 2.75%, for chlorogenic acid and soluble solid content, respectively. Both the RSEP values of chlorogenic acid and soluble solid content were lower than 6%, which can satisfy the quality control standard in the traditional Chinese medicine production process. The RSEP values of ANN models were lower than PLS models, which indicated the ANN models had better predictive performance for chlorogenic acid and soluble solid content. The established method can rapidly measure the content of chlorogenic acid and soluble solid content. The method is simple, accurate anc reliable, thus can be used for quality control of the liquid-liquid extraction of Reduning injection.
