Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal tumors. Methods 1 006 cases of adrenal tumors treated from 1957 to 2000 were reviewed. Results Of the 1 006 cases of adrenal tumors,845(84.0%) were functional with 12(1.4%) malignant and 161(16%) nonfunctional with 11( 6.8%) malignant.There were 180 incidentaloma including 19 pheochromocytoma.A total of 996 tumors have been surgically removed and 10 cases underwent surgical exploration only.The total mortality rate was 0.3%. Conclusions Adrenal tumors occurred mostly in patients of 30~50 years of age.The prevalence of Cushing syndrome was more in females than in males.Ultrasonography and CT are the method of choice for the localization of the tumor whereas hormone levels should be determined both in the symtomatic and asymtomatic patients with adrenal tumors.Functional adrenal tumors and solid incidentaloma of large size should be surgically removed while asymtomatic incidentaloma less than 3 cm in size could be observed and followed up and surgery might be undertaken when indicated.

A simple, precise, and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of vitexin-2-O-glucoside, vitexin-2-O-rhamnoside, rutin, vitexin, and hyperoside. The HPLC separation was performed using a Shim-pack VP-ODS C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d. , 5 μm) with the isocratic mobile phase consisting of tetrahydrofuran/acetonitrile/0.05% phosphoric acid solution (20:3:77, v/v/v), and the flow rate was set at 1.0 mL/min. UV detection was carried out at a wavelength of 360 nm and the whole analysis took 25 min. The method was linear in the range of 4.12-206.00 μg/mL for vitexin-2-O-glucoside, 4.05-202.50 μg/mL for vitexin-2-O-rhamnoside, 1.64-82.00 μg/mL for rutin, 1.74-87.00 μg/mL for vitexin, and 1.41-70.60 μg/mL for hyperoside with the correlation coefficient for each analyte more than 0.998.The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of qnantitation (LOQ) were 0.6 and 2 ng for vitexin-2-O-glucoside, 0.6 and 2 ng for vitexin-2-O-rhamnoside, 0.3 and 1 ng for rutin, 1 and 3 ng for vitexin, and 0.5 and 2 ng for hyperoside, respectively. Lntra- and inter-day precision and accuracy (RSD) were less than 3%. The developed HPLC method was successfully applied to the analysis of five flavonoids in hawthorn leaves, hawthorn fruits, and the preparations containing hawthorn leaves or fruits.

Objective: To explore weather microRNA let-7c (miR-let-7c) could regulate myotrophin gene expression in rat’s H9c2 cardiac myocytes with possible mechanisms.
Methods: Recombinant plasmid carrying 3′ untranslated region (3′-UTR) of myotrophin and miRNA precursor of let-7c was co-transfected into Hela cells to construct the luciferase reporter system in order to measure luciferase activity. Rat’s H9c2 cardiac myocytes were cultured. The let-7c gene expression was detected by Taqman probe-based real-time PCR after let-7c miRNA precursor or let-7c miRNA inhibitor transfection respectively; protein expressions of myotrophin and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were examined by Western blot analysis.
Results: Luciferase activity examination indicated that compared with recombinant luciferase gene expression carrier (pMIR-MTPN)+miR precursor negative control group, pMIR-MTPN+miR-let-7c miRNA precursor group showed reduced luciferase activity (59.30±9.90) % vs (98.10±15.10) %. Western blot analysis presented that compared with miR negative control group, miR-let-7c precursor group had decreased protein expressions of myotrophin (0.28±0.05) vs (0.90±0.09) and NF-κB (0.25±0.06) vs (0.75±0.07); in contrast, compared with Negative inhibitor group, miR-let-7c inhibitor group had increased protein expressions of myotrophin (1.14±0.09) vs (0.44±0.09) and NF-κB (1.09±0.05) vs (0.71±0.06), allP<0.05.
Conclusion: miR-let-7c could inhibit myotrophin expression via acting on its 3′-UTR domain and may also inlfuence NF-κB signaling pathway in rat’s H9c2 cardiac myocytes.

OBJECTIVETo develop a solvent desorption gas chromatographic method for determination of n-pentanol in the workplace air.
METHODSn-Pentanol in the workplace air was collected with activated carbon tubes, desorbed with 2% 2-propanol in carbon disulfide, separated with a nitroterephthalic acid-modified FFAP capillary column, and detected with flame ionization detector.
RESULTSThe limit of detection was 0.2 mg/L; the lower limit of quantification was 0.6 mg/L; the linear range was 0.6-4072.0 mg/L. The minimum detectable mass concentration was 0.2 mg/m3 for 1.5 L of air sample. This method was highly repeatable. The relative standard deviations were 2.3%-5.4%. The average desorption efficiencies were 86.9%-94.2%. The absorption efficiencies were 100%. The breakthrough volume was above 8.0 mg in 100-mg activated carbon. The samples in activated carbon tubes could be stored for at least 14 days at room temperature.
CONCLUSIONThe method is feasible for determination of n-pentanol in the workplace air.

Objective To evaluate the value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)in diagnosing MCI.Methods DTI and conventional MRI were performed in 26 patients with MCI and 26 age-matched normal control subjects (NC).FA were measured in the 10 select-ed white matter regions,included bilateral frontal lobe,temporal lobe,parietal lobe,parahippocampal gyrus and cingulate gyrus,in the patients with MCI (n=26)and NC (n=26).FA of each ROI (region of interest)between the patients and controls were com-pared by using independent sample t-test.The correlation between the FA values and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)scores was analyzed by using Spearman correlation analysis.Results Compared with NC,the FA values of the right frontal lobe,temporal lobe white matter and bilateral cingulate gyrus in the patients were significant-ly reduced (P <0.05).FA values of the left temporal lobe,right frontal lobe and bilateral parahippocampal gyrus were significant correlated with MoCA scores,and FA values of the bilateral parahippocampal gyrus were significant correlated with MMSE scores (P <0.05).Conclusion DTI can be used as a diagnosis index of MCI.It has important value in early intervention and improving the quality of life of patients to early diagnosing MCI.
