Objective High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) methods were developed for the determination of ganciclovir and its related substances. Methods A Hypersil ODS2 column (4.6mm×250mm, 5μm) was used with a mobile phase of 0.02M potassium 1.0mL/min, and UV detector set at 254nm was used for monitoring the eluents. Results The method was simple, rapid, selective and capable of separating all related substances at trace level with a detection limit of 0.04μg/mL. It has been validated with respect to accuracy, precision, linearity, and limits of detection and quantification. The linearity range was 10.2-153.0μg/mL with r=0.9998. The percentage recoveries ranged from 96.7% to 101.6%, and RSD was 1.24%-1.96% (n=5). Conclusion The method was found to be suitable not only for monitoring the reactions during the process development but also for quality control of ganciclovir. For identification of related substances, LC/MS was used. The mainly related substances of ganciclovir active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) were determined as guanine, (1, 3-dioxolan-4-yl) methyl acetate, and diacetyl guanine.

Esophageal cancer is a cause of cancer mortality and accounts for the sixth most common cause of cancer-related death. The focus of recent study has shifted towards testing novel agents that target specific molecular abnormalities known to occur in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The preclinical studies involving various cancer models, including ESCC, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) over-expression, are linked to epithelial cell proliferation, differentiation and migration, and have an inverse relationship to tumor chemotherapy curability. Nimotuzumab is a humanized anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody that binds to the extracellular domain of the EGFR and inhibits EGF binding. In many phase Ⅱ trials, nimotuzumab showed marked antiproliferative, proapoptotic and antiangiogenic effects in tumors that overexpress EGFR. Some phaseⅢtrials are ongoing.

Objective To prepare poriferous ?-tricalcium phosphate(?-TCP) particles and investigate the possibility of these particles to serve as bone graft and bone tissue engineering scaffold.Methods Poriferous anorganic bone particles were prepared with healthy bovine cancellous bone by removal of cells,defat and double calcination,finally with ?-TCP remained as the main ingredient.A bone defect was made in rabbit's femur,and it was repaired with poriferous ?-TCP bone graft.The results were observed by X-ray,molybdenum target films,fluorescence label and histology at the 4th,8th and 12th week after operation.Results The nature of cancellous bone structure was still maintained in the poriferous ?-TCP bone graft,even retaining its contour after it was transplanted in the bone defect.At the 4th week after operation,the graft was integrated with neighboring tissues,and the new bone gradually grew in the ?-TCP bone graft pores,with delineation of bone defect remaining clear.There was no obvious absorption of the graft,neither growth of soft tissues or bone tissue into the central part.At the 8th week after operation,the soft tissue further grew into the inside of the ?-TCP bone graft,and little bone tissue grew in the central part.At the 12th week after operation,the graft was firmly surrounded with new bone tissue,the demarcation between the graft and new bone becoming obscure,and the graft was partially absorbed,with thickening of bone trabeculae,which extended into the center of ?-TCP bone.However,the speed and quantity of the new bone formation were deteriorated.Histologic examination also found that the ?-TCP bone graft degenerated slowly with passage of time.Conclusion The poriferous ?-TCP bone graft possesses excellent osteogenesis for repairing a bone defect,and may be used as bone tissue engineering scaffold,though its degradation speed should be ameliorated.

Methods One hundred and twenty septic patients were randomly assigned to intensive insulin therapy 1 ,intensive insulin therapy 2 and conventional insulin therapy, serum von Willebrand factor (vWF),thrombomodulin protein(TM),endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide(NO) of the three groups of patients were determined by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay double antibody sandwich principle (ELISA) before treatment and the next 3 d,7 d after treatment. At the same time we observed the three groups of patients with 28-d mortality, the days of hospitalized in ICU, number of days for using mechanical ventilation, △ APACHE Ⅱ score and △MODS score. Results After treatment of 3 days,vWF was (142.57 ± 10.07)%, (137.32 ±9.66)% and (138. 32 ± 8. 80) % in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 7 days, vWF was (126.27 ±10.49) %, (116. 55 ± 9. 36) % and (120.72 ± 9. 53) % in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 3 days, TM was (6. 87 ± 1.62) μg/L, (5.95 ± 1.60) μg/L and (6. 17 ± 1.33) μg/L in the CIT, IIT1and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 7 days, TM was (4. 55 ± 1.48) μg/L, (3.35 ± 0.94) μg/L and(3. 87 ± 1.20) μg/L in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 3 days, ET-1 was (61.27 ±9. 20) ng/L, (55.97 ± 9.03) ng/L and (57. 37 ± 7. 70) ng/L in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 7 days, TM was (43. 12 ± 6. 17) ng/L, (33.77 ± 6. 20) ng/L and (35.95 ± 5.73) ng/L in the CIT, IIT1and IIT2 group, respectively. Compared with conventional insulin therapy, vWF, TM and ET-1 were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), NO were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in IIT1 and IIT2, but the two sub-groups had no significant difference (P > 0.05). In the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 groups respectively, the mortality at 28 days were 20.0%, 12. 5 % and 45.0%, the days of hospitalized in ICU were (9.50 ± 3. 70) d, (7. 72 ± 3.29) d and (8.02 ±2. 90) d, number of day for using mechanical ventilation were (8. 92 ± 3.79) d, (7.23 ± 3. 32) d and (7. 37 ±3. 29) d, △ APACHE Ⅱ score were 8. 87 ± 3.46,7. 20 ± 2. 81 and 7.42 ± 3. 18, △ MODS score were 4. 15 ± 2. 15,3.20 ± 1.48 and 3.32 ± 1.74, with significant differences (P < 0.05). These indices were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in IIT1 and IIT2, but the two sub-groups also had no significant differences (P > 0.05). Conclusions Intensive insulin therapy on patients with sepsis has a protective effect of vascular endothelial cells, and the blood glucose controlled in the 6. 6 - 8. 3 mmol/L can significantly decrease the incidence of hypoglycemia, and intensive insulin therapy can also significantly improve the prognosis of patients with sepsis.
