OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for simultaneous determination of ibuprofen and indomethacin concentration in human urine. METHODS:The urine samples were precipitated by acetonitrile. HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Discovery C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-20 mmol/L ammonium acetate solution(85:15,V/V, pH value adjusted to 3.5 with glacial acetic acid)at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. UV detection wavelength was set at 220 nm. The column temperature was room temperature,and sample size was 80 μL. RESULTS:The linear range of ibuprofen and indometha-cin were both 0.1-50.0μg/mL(r=0.9996,0.9995,n=3). The limits of quantitation were both 0.1μg/mL,and the limits of detec-tion were both 0.03 μg/mL. RSDs of inter-day and intra-day were all lower than 10％(n=5),and accuracy ranged 94.7％-97.2％. The extraction recoveries of ibuprofen and indomethacin were 89.5％-91.8％ and 90.2％-92.4％(all RSDs<10％,n=15),respec-tively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple and rapid with high selectivity,sensitivity and accuracy. It is suitable for simultane-ous determination of ibuprofen and indomethacin concentration in human urine.

Cell viability of Pichia pastoris was detected by flow cytometry (FCM) with two reagents fluorescein diacetate (FDA) and propidium iodide (PI). Compared with FDA/PI double-stained dot plots and PI single-stained dot plots,the latter could divide dead and living cells into two separate zones,and get the correct proportion. Then PI single-stained method was used to detect the change of cell viability in Pichia patoris fermentation. At glycerol batch and fed-batch phase,little dead cells were detected. At methanol fed-batch phase,cell viability decreased when cell weight increased,and was only 73.8% at 88 h.

AIM:To perform a new method for orbital implant and contracted socket through one time and its results. ·METHODS:Totally 114 patients 114 eyes, from January 2008 to June 2014, with contracted socket participated in this study. We incised the bulbar conjunctiva horizontally and excised scar tissue, then implanted the hydroxyapatite in the four extraocular muscles and tightly sutured the Tenon ' capsule. After that, we put the superior and inferior conjunctival petals backwards and sutured them to the Tenon ' s capsule. All the patients were divided into four groups according to the vertical diameter length of the conjunctival defect area:GroupⅠ:≤5mm; Group Ⅱ: 6-10mm; Group Ⅲ: 11-15mm; and Group Ⅳ: ≥16mm. These patients were followed up for 6mo to 3y to observe the conjunctival sac shaping and growth of conjunctiva. ·RESULTS:There were 64 cases in GroupⅠ, 31 cases in Group Ⅱ, 16 cases in Group Ⅲ and 3 cases in Group Ⅳ. All patients ' conjunctival defect was covered by new conjunctiva and scar tissue 4 to 6wk after surgeries. Ten cases had contracted socket; 2 cases had orbital implant exposure, requiring reoperation. Of the 114 cases, 8 had contracted socket and could use a smaller conformer, 106 could use a normal size conformer. ·CONCLUSION: When the conjunctival defect was ≤15mm, this new method can address the orbital implant and contracted socket at the same time. While it was ≥16mm, flap transplantation is necessary.

Objective To investigate the effect of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in bullous pempbigoid (BP) blister fluid on the secretion of chemokines by human keratinocytes. Methods IgG was obtained from the blister fluid of patients with bullous pemphigoid and sera of normal human controls, then purified by sequential precipitation with caprylic acid and ammonium sulfate. The immunological activity of blister fluid was tested before and after the purification by BP180 ELISA kit. Keratinocytes were isolated from the foreskin tissue of yong adults, and subjected to primary culture. After 3 passages, the primary keratinocytes were harvested and subcultured in the presence of purified IgG of 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 g/L, respectively, for 24 hours, or IgG of 4 g/L for 3, 6, 12, 24 hours, respectively, followed by the detection of levels of eotaxin, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 and interleukin (IL)-8 in the supemate of keratinocytes by ELISA. Results The valence of IgG remained unchanged after the purification with caprylic acid and ammonium sulfate. Compared with IgG from the sera of normal controls, that from bullous pemphigoid blister fluid sig- nificantly enhanced the secretion of IL-8 by keratinocytes in a time- and dose-dependent manner (both P < 0.01 ). Neither eotaxin nor MCP-1 was detected in the supemate of control IgG-treated, BP IgG-treated or untreated keratinocytes. Condusions The IgG in BP blister fluid has been proved to stimulate the secretion of IL-8 by cultured human keratinocytes, which may be involved in the pathogenesis of BP.

Aim To investigate the effects of meloxi-cam on the proliferation,migration and expression of PTEN of human colorectal cancer LoVo cells.Meth-ods The colony formation test was used to detect the effect of meloxicam on the proliferation of LoVo cells. The cell migration assay was applied to analyze the effect of meloxicam on LoVo cells activity.The RT-PCR assay was used to detect the effect of meloxicam on the mRNA expression of PCNA and PTEN gene. The western blot assay was applied to analyze the effects of meloxicam on the expression of PTEN pro-tein.The recombinant adenovirus and Annexin-V assay were used to testify the relationship between PTEN gene and anti-cancer effect of meloxicam.Results Compared with the control group,meloxicam could in-hibit the colony formation and PCNA protein expression of LoVo cells.At 48 h and 80 μmol·L -1 ,the expres-sion of PCNA protein was reduced to 61 .57% ± 2.81 %(T =7.086,P =0.01 9),the mRNA expres-sion of PTEN gene increased to 1 60.43% ±4.71 %(T=24.244,P =0.002),and the expression of PTEN protein increased to 1 52.63% ±3.33%(T =27.359, P =0.001 ).Results Annexin-V test indicated that the anti-cancer effect of meloxicam was associated with the up-regulated expression of PTEN.Conclusions Meloxicam can inhibit the proliferation and migration of LoVo cells by up-regulating the expression of PTEN.

Objective To study the diagnosis,treatment and therapeutic results of 11 patients who suffered from mucinous tumor of the bile duct.Methods Eleven patients who were diagnosed to suffer from mucinous tumor of the bile duct were retrospectively studied.Three patients who presented with obstructive jaundice were diagnosed on ERCP,and 8 patients who had extra-and intrahepatic cholangiolithiasis were diagnosed by biopsy during choledochoscopy.Results One of the 3 patients who underwent ERCP died from obstructive jaundice after failed drainage of bile using endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD).The remaining two patients underwent laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and T tube drainage.The eight patients who had extra-and intrahepatic cholangiolithiasis were diagnosed by biopsy during choledochoscopy.Conclusions The clinical presentation of mucinous tumor of bile duct is non-specific and the preoperative misdiagnosis rate is high.Common bile duct exploration,T tube drainage and long-term T tube drainage is a good way to treat mucinous tumor of the bile duct.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of gelatin sponge particles(GSP)or polyvinyl alcohol particles (PVA) for hemoptysis secondary to bronchiectasis or pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods The clinical data on 271 patients with bronchiectasis- or tuberculosis-induced hemoptysis were retrospectively analyzed. The efficacy and rates of recurrence and complications were analyzed. Results A total 271 patients were included in this study, 176 of whom suffered from bronchiectasis and the rest 95 had tuberculosis. One-week cure rate was signifi-cantly higher in bronchiectasis group than in tuberculosis group(73.3%vs. 46.3%,P<0.05),and one-year recur-rence rate was significantly lower in bronchiectasis group(17.6%vs. 26.3%,P<0.05). One-year recurrence rate was slightly higher in patients receiving GSP than in those undergoing PVA(bronchiectasis group:22.2%vs. 10.3%, P<0.05;tuberculosis group:28.8%vs. 22.2%,P>0.05). No severe complications occurred. Conclusions In-terventional artery embolization therapy for hemoptysis secondary to bronchiectasis is better than tuberculosis-induced hemoptysis,and PVA is more effective than GSP. Recurrence of massive hemoptysis mostly occurrs within one month ,and most of the patients are complicated with blood supply and have a history of hemoptysis.

Objective On basis of physical dose optimization, LQ model was used to investigate the difference between the curves of biological effective dose and physical isodose. The influence of applying the biological dose concept on three dimensional conformal radiotherapy of prostate carcinoma was discussed. Methods Four treatment plannings were designed for physical dose optimization: three fields, four-box fields, five fields and six fields. Target dose uniformity and protection of the critical tissue -rectum were used as the principal standard for designing the treatment planning. Biological effective dose (BED) was calculated by LQ model. The difference between the BED curve drawn in the central layer and the physical isodose curve was studied. The difference between the adjusted physical dose (APD) and the physical dose was also studied. Results Five field planning was the best in target dose uniformity and protection of the critical tissue -rectum. The physical dose was uniform in the target, but the biological effective doses revealed great discrepancy in the biological model. Adjusted physical dose distribution also displayed larger discrepancy than the physical dose unadjusted. Conclusions Intensified Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) technique with inversion planning using biological dose concept may be much more advantageous to reach a high tumor control probability and low normal tissue complication probability.
