A size exclusion chromatography method ( SEC) was established for the screening of macromolecules in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) injections. In the experiment, TCM was collected through 0. 45μm hybrid filter and separated by SEC with MAbPac SEC-1 column. Acetonitrile was added by post-column mode with a flow rate of 0. 2 mL/min to enhance the detection sensitivity, and 25 mmol/L ammonium formate was used as the mobile phase at flow rate of 0. 2 mL/min. The charged aerosol detection was carried out with Dextran and Tween as the reference standards. The molecular weight distribution of Dextran ranged from 2500 to 133800 had a good linear relationship with the retention time. No macromolecules were detected out in the selected traditional Chinese medicine injections except Kuhuang injections.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and the prognosis of benin convulsions as-sociated with mild gastroenteritis( BICE) in children. Methods To study clinical features of 248 children with BCIE,they followed up for 12 months,and their prognosis were observe. Results Age between 3 months and 3 years,twice or more seizures were occurred on 124 patients. 64 patients suffered the seizures more than 30 mi-nutes. Cranial CT/MRI showed no abnormality. Laboratory examinations were normal, including plasma glu-cose,serum electrolytes and cerebrospinal fluid. Followed up for 12 months,14 patients (5. 6%) suffered from recurrence of BICE,12 patients (4. 8%) suffered from simple febrile seizures,and 8 patients (3. 2%) devel-oped epilepsy. Conclusion The prognosis is good in majority of cases,but some cases may transform febrile seizure or epilepsy. It is more likely to transform epilepsy,when the children suffer from febrile seizure.

Objective Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing as the gold standard method,to compare the performance of two matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry system (MALDI Biotyper and VITEK MS) for identifying clinical isolates of Streptococcus spp.Methods One hundred and sixty two clinical Streptococcus isolates were collected at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University,from April to June,2014,and confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis.MALDI Biotyper and VITEK MS mass spectrometry system were used for identification and further evaluated by performance respectively.Results Of all the isolates tested,155 (155/162,95.68%) Streptococcus isolates were accurately identified to species level by MALDI Biotyper.Besides,MALDI Biotyper identified three Streptococcus mitis group as S.pneumoniae and one S.parasanguinis as S.australis.Another three S.pneumonia isolates were not identified accurately (values < 1.7).Although 156 (156/162,96.30%) isolates were accurately identified to species level (including subspecies) by VITEK MS system,two S.pneumoniae as S.mitis/S.oralis and one S.euinus as S.infantarius ssp.infantarius were misidentified.The two systems showed a 100% (51/51) accuracy in identifying all S.pyogenes and S.agalactiae isolates,and an accuracy higher than 85% for S.pneumoniae.Conclusions Both systems showed potent identification ability for Streptococcus spp.,VITEK MS system showed more clinical significance in accurately identifying some subspecies.Mass spectrometry system can be used as a rapid identification method for Streptococcs spp.in clinical practice.

Objective To analyze the characteristics ot lymph node metastasis and prognostic factors for carcinoma of papilla of Vater (CPV) after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods From January 2005 to December 2010,94 patients with CPV underwent PD and dissection of regional lymph nodes at the Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital.We carefully evaluated nodal involvement in the patients to determine the lymphatic spread of CPV and analyzed the clinicopathological variables in relation to prognosis.Results The overall rate of nodal involvement was 46.8%.Using the UICC staging (7th edition),lymphatic invasion in pT1,pT2,pT3 and pT4 were 15.4% (2/13),62.7% (32/51),80.0% (8/10) and 100% (2/2),respectively.The metastatic rates in the posterior pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes,the mesopancreatic lymph nodes,the hepatoduodenal ligamental lymph nodes and the proper hepatic periarterial lymph nodes were 30.9% (29/94),21.3% (20/94),11.7%(11/94) and 6.4% (6/94),respectively.Significant prognostic factors were tumor pT stage (P<0.01),duodenal wall infiltration (P =0.001),liver metastasis (P =0.001),pancreatic paren chymal invasion (P=0.004),nodal involvement (P<0.01) and different regional lymph nodes invasion (the posterior pancreaticoduodenal,P<0.01; the mesopancreatic,P<0.01; the hepatoduodenal ligamental,P<0.01; the proper hepatic periarterial,P=0.010).Cox regression analysis for overall survival revealed that the posterior pancreaticoduodenal nodal involvement (P<0.01),the mesopancreatic nodal involvement (P<0.01) and duodenal wall infiltration (P=0.019) were significant independent prognostic risk factors.Conclusions The mesopancreatic lymph nodes and the posterior pancreaticoduodenal lymph nodes should equally be regarded as the first stop in lymphatic spread of CPV.Therefore,we should pay much attention to these regional lymph node dissections,especially to ensure complete resection of the uncinate process and the mesopancreas.

Objective To evaluate effect of bone grafting combining with titanium mesh and/or reinforcement cup in reconstruction of acetabular bone defect in total hip arthroplasty (THA).Methods From January 2008 to November 2011,32 patients,including 23 males and 9 females,aged from 51 to 76 years (average,66 years),underwent THA with acetabular defect reconstruction by using bone grafting combining with titanium mesh and/or reinforcement cup.There were 6 cases of primary THA and 26 cases of revision THA.Twelve cases (Paprosky Ⅱ B) and 7 cases (Paprosky Ⅱ C) underwent impaction bone grafting with titanium mesh; 6 cases (Paprosky Ⅱ C) underwent impaction bone grafting with reinforcement cup; 6 cases (Paprosky Ⅲ A) underwent impaction bone grafting and structural bone grafting with winged reinforcement cup; 1 case (Paprosky Ⅲ A) underwent double-layer impaction bone grafting with titanium mesh and reinforcement cup.Harris score and Gill classification were used to evaluate clinical and radiological results,respectively.Results All cases (32 hips) were followed up for an average of 22 months (range,12 to 25months).One year postoperatively,Harris score improved from preoperative 44.00±11.71 to postoperative 78.41 ±9.32.Twenty-four cases were excellent,4 good,4 fair,and the excellent and good rate was 87.5%.Three cases occurred mild displacement of acetabular rotation center; one case occurred dislocation.There was no loosing,subsidence,and bone resorption in other 28 cases at final follow-up.ConcLusion Bone grafting with titanium mesh and/or reinforcement cup is effective in reconstruction of acetabular bone defect in THA,which can improve the stability of acetabular cup.
