Aims To establish a UPLC-MS/MS meth-od for the determination of plasma concentration of scutellarein and its metabolite and to study their phar-macokinetics in rat plasma. Methods The analysis was achieved by BEH C18 column with a mobile phase composed of 0 . 1 % formic acid in acetonitrile and 0 . 1% aqueous formic acid using step gradient elution. A TQD tandem mass spectrometry equipped with electros-pray ionization source was used as detector and opera-ted by multiple reaction monitoring( MRM) positive ion mode. After intravenous injection of scutellarein, the concentrations of scutellarein and its major metabolite glucuronide scutellarin in rat plasma were determined at different time points. The pharmacokinetic parame-ters were calculated by DAS 2. 0 software. Results Good linearity was achieved for scutellarein, the ex-traction recovery was between 80 . 5 % to 90 . 5 %, the precisions and accuracy were good. The result showed the pharmacokinetic profiles of scutellarein and glucu-ronide scutellarin both fit to the two-compartment mod-el. Conclusion The above mentioned method is spe-cific, rapid, sensitive and suitable for the pharmacoki-netic studies of scutellarein and its metabolite.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of urethral stent implantation on detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia caused by neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.Methods13 patients with detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia caused by neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction were treated with the operation of the urethral stent implantation. Voiding function, renal function, residual urine volume and hytronephrosis were examined before and after the operation to evaluate the effect of this procedure.ResultsAfter operation, 7 patients normally emptied their bladders and 6 patients had urinary incontinence. Urethral stents were removed from 2 patients in this group due to the irritation symptoms, the second implantation was performed in a patient due to the voiding difficulty. The renal function of patients after the operation had a non-significant improvement, but the residual urine volume and hytronephrosis improved significantly.Conclusion Urethral stent implantation can decrease residual urine volume and hytronephrosis in patients with detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia caused by neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction.

Objective To compare the efficacy of small splint fixation and plaster fixation in treating distal radius fracture. Methods One hundred and four cases of type A2 distal radius fracture admitted from January of 2012 to May of 2013 were randomly divided into small splint fixation group and plaster fixation group. After reduction, patients in the two groups were fixed with small splint and plaster separately. Wrist function scores, 36-item Short Form ( SF-36) scores and roentgenographic scores were evaluated for the two groups at different time points. Results ( 1) Within 3 months of follow up, the improvement of wrist function in small splint fixation group was significantly superior to that in plaster fixation group (P<0.05), and the differences of wrist function scores were insignificant between the two groups with the prolongation of follow-up (P>0.05). (2) SF-36 scores of the two groups were gradually increased along with the follow up. After follow-up for one week, 2 weeks, one month and 3 months, the SF-36 scores in small splint fixation group were significantly higher than that in plaster fixation group ( P<0.05) , but there was no significant difference after 6 months ( P>0.05). ( 3) After follow up for one year, the excellent rate for roentgenographic scores was higher than 80% in both groups, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Both small splint fixation and plaster fixation have satisfacory efficacy in treating type A2 distal radius fracture. But during the therapeutic process, wrist function scores and life quality scores in the small splint fixation group were higher than those in the plaster fixation group.

The drug-loading system of DMF (dextran - magnetic layered double hydroxide - fluorouracil) was synthesized by "co-precipitation intercalated assembly - dextran composite in situ - solvent conversion" technology. The crystal-phase characteristic and slow-release performance of DMF were investigated through X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectrum (IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetry (TG) and in vitro release experiment. The targeted transshipment and slow-release effect of DMF system were evaluated by in vivo animal experiment. It was showed that the XRD of DMF matched with R-sixtetragonum type layered double hydroxide and Fd-3m cubic type ferrite. IR test demonstrated that the DMF system was a supra-molecular complex consisted of Dextran (DET), magnetic layered double hydroxide (MLDH) and fluorouracil (FU) components. The two-level supra-molecular MLDH-FU presented six-edge lozenge TEM morphology, with layered characteristics. DET on the surface of DMF was capable of protecting the layered structure of MLDH-FU, improving particle dispersion properties, and strengthening the slow-release performance of the drug delivery system. The drug release model of DMF at pH 7.35 of PBS in vitro fit to the zero-order kinetics equation C = 1.1716 x 10(-5) + 4.4626 x 10(-7) t. The drug delivery system DMF could transport drugs principally to in vivo target organs with a local effect, targeted specificity, and excellent circulation transshipment performance. The pharmacokinetic process of DMF presented multi-peak phenomenon with peak attenuation and cyclic growth. The peaks appeared at 0.25, 1, 3, 5 and 9 d separately after dosing intervention. The first peak process of DMF accorded with a pharmacokinetic equation of C(FU) = 14.34 e(-0.530t) + 36.04 e(-0.321t) + 24.18 e(-0.96t), and presented the characteristic of slow absorption and fast elimination. As for subsequent peak processes, half-life increased, bioavailability increased, and plasma clearance decreased. The highest peak value of DMF was 1/37 of original value of FU, and the relative bioavailability was 419% to original FU.

Objective To investigate the effect of sevoflurane postconditioning on the activities of Na+ -K+ -ATPase and Ca2+ -Mg2+ -ATPase during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats and the possible mechanism. Methods Forty-five healthy male Wistar rats weighing 250-280 g were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 15 each): sham operation group (group S), I/R group and sevoflurane postconditioning group (group Spo). Myocardial I/R was induced by occlusion of anterior descending branch of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min of reperfusion. In group S the anterior descending branch was only exposed but not ligated. Group Spo received 5 min inhlation of 2.5% sevoflurane 1 min before reperfusion. The myocardial tissues were taken at 2 h of reperfusion for determination of infarct size and activities of Na+ -K+ -ATPase and Ca2 * -Mg2 * -ATPase. Results The infarct size was significantly larger and the activities of Na+ -K+ -ATPase and Ca2+ -Mg2+ -ATPase were signifi cantly lower in group I/R than in group S ( P ＜ 0.05). The infarct size was significantly smaller and the activities of Na+ -K+ -ATPase and Ca2+ -Mg2+ -ATPase were significantly higher in group Spo than in group I/R (P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusion Sevoflurane postconditioning can reduce myocardial I/R injury through increasing the activities of Na+ -K+ -ATPase and Ca2+ -Mg2+ -ATPase.

The potential of Rhizobium sp. N613 to produce the exopolysaccharide (REPS) was studied in this paper. Using an orthogonal design in a flask-shaker culture system, the fermentation medium and conditions of synthesizing REPS were optimized. Based on these results, the fermentation kinetic parameters were obtained in the batch fermentation with a 10L fermentor. The REPS yield of 11.31g/L was achieved by metabolic regulation during 40 h fed-batch fermentation. Transplanted tumor models of sarcoma 180 in mice were used to evaluate the anti-tumor effect. The result of anti-tumor activities showed that inhibition rate was 53.40%, when dose of REPS was 5mg/kg. These results indicate that REPS has the following properties: the short duration of fermentation, the high yield, the low cost, the effective immunocompetence and thickening. Thus, REPS has the value of development and application.

Objective To determine the variation of bone mineral density(BMD)and bone mineral content (BMC)in cadaveric lumbar vertebrae and investigate their significance in determining fracture modes and biomecha- nical properties.Methods The lumbar motion segments of the spines of 19 cadavers(mean age:56 years)were compressed to failure.The BMD and BMC of the cranial and caudal endplates were determined,along with the BMD and BMC of the upper and lower 1/3 transverse sub-endplate layers and the middle 1/3 transverse layer.The anteri- or,middle and posterior 1/3 vertical parts,anterior and posterior 1/2 vertical parts and the whole BMD and BMC were measured by using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry as well.All the data were analyzed statistically.Results Among the 19 segments,macrography after dissection revealed that 16 had been fractured,about 84.2%.The frac- ture always occurred in the centre or in the anterior part of the endplate.Within a vertebral body,the BMD and BMC of the cranial endplate were less than those of the caudal endplate,and the cranial 1/3 transverse layer and middle layer had lower BMD and BMC readings than the caudal layer.For the vertical region,from the anterior 1/3 to the posterior 1/3,or from the anterior 1/2 to the posterior 1/2,the BMD and BMC increased.For the endplate around the disc,the BMD of upper endplate was higher than that of the lower one,but the BMCs were equal.In one motion segment,the failure load correlated positively with BMD,and with the BMC of the endplate and the sub-endplate bone.Conclusion The variations in BMD and BMC within a vertebra and around a disc can explain why vertebral fractures are concentrated on the upper endplate,and why compressive fractures are always wedge-shaped.This un- derstanding can assist in the placement of inter-vertebral spacers.

Objective To compare the effects of biphasic square waveform (BSW) with low or high energy on external defibrillation.Method Adult swine model of closed chest ventricular fibrillation induced by electricity was established.Eighteen swine,weighing (30?3.3) kg were randomly divided into three groups:50-50-50 J group (n=6),30-50-75 J group (n=6),120-150-200 J (n=6).After three minutes of ventricular fibrillation without treatment,the pigs in the three groups were defibrillated accordance to the above sequences. Results 30 J BSW didn't succed to external defibrillate.The first defibrillation successful rate of 50 J and 120 J BSW was 5/6.The total defibrillation successful rate of every group was 100%.All pigs quickly had spontaneous circulation after defibrillation and survived more than 24 hours.ST-T change of low-energy was less than that of high-energy.After resuscitation,myocardial function decreased,but there had not significant differences between groups.Conclusions In the study,30J BSW could not reach successful defibrillation,and 50 J and 120 J BSW had similar defibrillation efficacy.The ideal energy of BSW external defibrillation was 50 J.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of urinary tract infection after kidney transplantation and to analyze the distribution of pathogenic virulence factors.Methods From January 2014 to June 2016,a total of 255 cases were subjected to DCD renal transplantation in our center,and 45 cases of urinary tract infection occurred after operation.Among them,urinary tract E.coli infection occurred in 32 cases.The virulence factors gene aer,hly,irp2 and iucD in the 32 strains of E.coli isolated from urine were tested using PCR and multiple PCR.Results Thirty-two cases (71.1％) of urinary tract infection after renal transplantation was caused by E.coli,and divided into 9 cases of nosocomial infection group,and 23 cases of community-acquired group.The positive rate for aer,hly,irp2 and iucD in Nosocomial infection group was 66.7％,33.3％,88.9％ and 77.8％,and that in community-acquired group was 30.4％,8.70％,39.1％ and 34.7％,respectively.There were statistically significant differences among four kinds of virulence factors between two groups (P＜0.05).The positive rate of virulence factors was significantly higher in nosocomial infection group than in community-acquired groups.The total resistance rate was 84.38％,and there was significarit difference in multi-drug resistance rate between two groups (P＜0.01).Conclusion E.coli is the main pathogenic bacteria of urinary tract infection after renal transplantation,especially nosocomial infections.The detection rate of virulence factor is high,and the multiple drug resistance is outstanding,so the attention should be paid clinically.
