Objective The filum terminale(FT)plays an important role in the pathophysiology of tethered cord syndrome(TCS).The study on morphology and structure of fetus FF can provide reference standard for diagnosis of TCS.Methods Ten fresh human aborted fetuses had their fila measured and removed.Transversal and longitudi nal sections of the middle,and distal thirds of FF were submitted to light microscopy analysis with four different techniques.Results The bulk of the Frr is composed of 1~5μm thick spring like longitudinal bundles of colla gen separated by 5~30μm layer intervals and 1~5μm intervals in the layer,although a small quantity of eapillar ies and other elements may be present.Collagen bundles can also be found between layers and bundles.Abundant longitudinally oriented elastic fibers ale found inside or between collagen bundles.Conclusion A complex tridi mensional structure composed by ordered arrangement of spring like fibers and small quantity of capillaries should e licit considerable elastic properties to the FI".Tts alternation of structure and element maybe involved in TCS closely.

Objective:To evaluate and summarize the best evidence of health workers respiratory protection during aerosol-generating procedures in patients with acute respiratory infectious diseases.Methods:We searched EBM Guidelines, Essential Evidence Plus, Dynamed, UpToDate, JBI, BMJ, Clinical Key, Cochrane Library, NICE, AARC, PubMed, EMbase, CKNI, Wanfang to collect related literature including guidelines,evidence summary, recommended practices, standards, consensus and systematic reviews.Results:A total of 20 articles were included, including 10 guidelines, 1 consensus, 2 standards, 2 evidence summaries, and 5 systematic reviews. 24 best evidences including aerosol-generating procedures, training of protective equipment using, principles of protective equipment using, protective equipment using, aerosol operating environment control and medical staff self-monitoring were summarized.Conclusion:The study integrated the best evidence of healthcare workers respiratory protection during aerosol-generating procedures in patients with acute respiratory infectious disease. It is recommended to combine the current status of institutional protection resources and clinical practice experience to promote the conversion of the best evidence to clinical practice.

Aim To develop LC-MS/MS method to de-termine rasagiline mesylate in human plasma and its application in a pharmacokinetics study .Methods Plasma samples were extracted using liquid-liquid ex-traction with clopidogrel as internal standard .The con-tent of rasagiline mesylate in human plasma was detec-ted by selectivelypositive ion reaction monitoring on a triple quadrupoles tandem mass spectrometer .The de-tected ions were m/z 172.3→117.1 ( rasagiline ) , m/z 322.3 →184.0 ( clopidogrel ) .The linear calibration curve was obtained in the concentration range of 0.1047~20.93 μg · L-1 .The lower limit of quantifi-cation was 0.1047 μg · L-1 .Indicators of the method validation were in line with requirements .The method was used to determine the concentration of rasagiline in human plasma after oral administration of rasagiline mesylate capsule to 24 healthy Chinese volunteers ( with half males and females ) and the results were compared statistically .Results The single oral dose of 0.5 ,1.0 and 2.0 mg presented linear pharmacokinetics in the health volunteers .No accumulation was observed with multiple doses .Meanwhile , no significant difference was identified between the gender groups . High fat postprandial has obvious effects on the peak serum con-centration of rasagiline , but there was no effect on the absorption amount and cumulative excretion .Conclu-sion The LC-MS/MS method is specific and sensi-tive, and can be successfully applied to the pharmaco-kinetic study of Rasagiline mesylate tablets in healthy Chinese volunteers .

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of S100A16 in the course of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes differentiation.MethodsA recombinant virus vector overexpressing S100A16 ( PLJM1-S100A16-GFP) was constructed and transfected into 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.The expression of S100A16 in the course of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes differentiated into adipocytes was detected by Western blot.The lipid droplets were observed by oil-red O staining and triglycercide (TG) content was measured by the TG measure kit.Levels of adipogenesis-associated genes such as PPARγ,CCAAT/enhancer binding protein ( C/EBP-α),lipoprotein lipase ( LPL),fatty acid synthase ( FAS),adipocyte fatty acid binding protein( aP2 ) were measured by realtime PCR and Western blot.The interaction between S100A16 and p53 was detected by immunoprecipitation.Results3T3-L1 cell line overexpressing S100A16was successfully contructed.It was found that the expression of S100A16 was increased during 3T3-L1 adipocytes differentiation.Overexpression of S100A16 stimulated 3T3-L1 preadipocytes differentiation and increased the accumulation of triglycerides in adipocytes (P< 0.01 ),along with the up-regulation of adipocyte differentiationassociated gene expressions including PPARγ,C/EBP-α,LPL,aP2,and FAS ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ).Immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that S100A16 interacted with tumor suppressor protein p53,also a known inhibitor of adipogenesis.ConclusionS100A16 stimulates 3T3-LI preadipocytes differentiation via inhibiting p53activity.
