Objective To establish a liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric method ( LC-MS/MS method ) for determination of dextrorphan in human liver microsome. Methods LC-MS/MS was adopted with carbamazepine serving as an internal standard.The separation was performed on Agilent ZORBAX XDB-C18 column (2.1 mm×50 mm, 3.5μm), with mobile phase consisting of 0. 05% formic acid methanol-0. 05% formic acid in gradient elution. Dextrorphan and carbamazepine were detected on multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)mode by transitions from precursor to production(m/z 258.1→199.1, 237.1→194.1). Results The linear range of dextrorphan concentration was 19.22-768 960 ng.L-1(r=0.999 8), and the lowest quantification limit was 19.22 ng.L-1.The relative recoveries were 94.02%-98.74%, and the RSDs of intra-day and inter-day were within 10%.IC50 of psoralen on CYP2D6 was 0.6μmol.L-1. Conclusion The LC-MS/MS method is proved to be rapid, sensitive and reproducible, psoralen is a strong inhibitor of CYP2D6.

Dental impressions are widely used in the field of oral restoration. The materials are used for making impression in oral cavity. In order to measure the thickness of impression for reference in clinic, the real impressions are taken as the object for studying. Through optical method, charge-coupled device (CCD) is used for collecting the grey image of cutting section of the impressions which are located in the same plane with steel dividing ruler. According to convert relationship between dividing ruler and pixels collecting grey image, the thickness of impression specimens can be obtained. The results show that the optical method used for measuring thickness is feasible to the task and the precision can reach micro dimension. The experiment method and technique can also be provided for measuring thickness of similar tissue engineering materials.

Objective To detect the genotype of hepatitis C virus(HCV)in chronic hepatitis C(CHC)infection patients using gene sequence method and observe the distributive characteristic of HCV genotype in Hubei.Methods A total of 447 HCV-RNA-positive plasma samples were collected from chronic hepatitis C patients in Infectious Diseases Department of Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from February 2013 to July 2015.Then NS5B region gene sequence of HCV genome were de-tected by Sanger sequencing method and compared with HCV genotype in NCBI genebank database for analyzing HCV geno-type.Results A total of 11 kinds of genotypes were detected,including genotypes 1a,1b,2a,3a,3b,6a,6b,1b/2a,1b/2k,6a/1b and 6d/6k,respectively.Detection cases of various genotypes were respectively 7 cases (1.57%),325 cases (72.71%),67 cases (14.99%),7 cases (1.57%),20 cases (4.47%),14 cases (3.13%),2 cases (0.45%),2 cases (0.45%),1 case (0.22%),1 case (0.22%)and 1 case (0.22%).Conclusion Genotype 1b was the major type of HCV-RNA genotype,fol-lowed by 2a,also other genotypes existed,which prompted that the prevalence of HCV genotype was diversity in Hubei.

In order to estimate the relationship between iron and the Alzheimer's disease, the behavioral and pathological changes were observed by Morris water maze and immunohistochemical staining respectively after injecting FeC13 into brain ventricle of rats. The apoptosis was tested by flow cytometry and the electron microscopy was used to observe ultrastructural changes. There were significant differences in escape latency of time and distance between normal animals and iron treated rats. Percentage and fluorescence intension (FI) of AnnexinV FITC loaded cells undergoing apoptosis were higher in iron treated rats compared with normal animals. Fawn-coloured products of β amyloid protein were interspersedly distributed in extensive areas of cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Under electron microscope, vacuolate degeneration of neuronal processes with mitochondria degeneration and accumulation of microtubule near vacuolar nucleus were observed in iron treated rats. These results suggest that a local higher concentration of iron in brain may induce Alzheimer-like impairment of intelligence and pathological changes.

Objective:To optimize the determination technology for the total amino acids in Runing pills. Methods:The process was optimized by L9 (34 ) orthogonal design using the hydrolysis temperature, hydrolysis time and hydrochloric acid concentration as the evaluation factors,and the content and yield of total amino acids as the evaluation indices. Results: The optimal determination condi-tions were as follows:the hydrolysis temperature was 110℃, the hydrolysis time was 22 h and the hydrochloric acid concentration was 6 mol·L-1 . Conclusion:The optimal determination technology can be applied in the total amino acids from Runing pills,which pro-vides the basis for the further research of Runing pills.

Objective To explore the experience of operative cooperation of trans-sternocostal triangle hand-assisted double lung metastatic tumor resection.Method The clinical data of 54 patients undergoing trans-sternocostal triangle hand-assisted double lung metastatic tumor resection were retrospectively analyzed from January 2005 to December 2005.Results The operations were all successful,with blood loss of 10~700 mL,operation time of 40~300 min,averaged(130.3+43.0)mins.One hundred and seventy eight malignant tumor lesions were removed.No serious complications occurred.Conclusion The key points to ensure thesuccessful operation were as follows:preoperation of special equipment,reasonable position,intraoperative strict aseptic operation,fixing of endoscopic incision suturing instrument,and accurate cooperation at all procedures.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and factors associated with knee osteonecrosis in patients with systemic lnpus erythematosus (SLE).Methods Medical charts of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2000 to 2013 were reviewed to identify patients who were diagnosed as SLE with kuee osteonecrosis.Controls were selected and matched to the cases by age and sex.The clinical and laboratory variables were compared between SLE patients who were with and without knee osteonecrosis.Numerical data and categorical data comparisons were analyzed using t-test,x2-test,respectively.Results Sixteen patients developed knee osteonecrosis that constituted 0.37％ of all the 4 301 hospitalized SLE patients during the same period.Fifteen patients were female,who developed knee osteonecrosis with an average age of 36 years (range:17-67 years).The mean duratiou of SLE before the diagnosis of knee osteonecrosis was 64±40 months (range:16-120 months).The interval from onset of symptoms to diagnosis was 0.5 to 24 months.The distal end of femur was involved in all 16 patients,while the proximal tibia necrosis also occurred in 8 patients.The detection rate of knee osteonecrosis by MRI was 100％,while it was only 19％ by plain radiography.The incidence of skin vasculitis,myositis,osteoporosis,hyperlipidemia,hypoalbuminemia and elevated serum immunoglobin G levels were significantly higher in SLE patients with knee osteonecrosis than in controls (P＜0.05).In addition,the use of anti-malarials was significantly lower in SLE patients with knee osteonecrosis than in controls (P＜0.05).Conclusion The knee osteonecrosis in SLE patients is affected by multifactors.The risk factors include skin vasculitis,myositis osteoporosis,hyperlipidemia,hypoalbuminemia and the elevated immunoglobin G level.The use of antimalarial drugs in SLE patients may protect against knee osteonecrosis development.Knee osteonecrosis coull be diagnosed early by MRI.
