Objective To optimize preparation of freeze-dried 16-dehydropregnenolone (16-DHP) liposome and evalu-ate the quality. Methods The freeze-dried liposome was prepared by rotary-evaporated film-ultrasonication with lyophilization. Single factor experiments and orthogonal design were used to optimize the prescription and preparation,and the quality was evalua-ted. Results The optimum preparation technics were as follows: the concentration of PC-98T was 6. 5% (W/ V), the quantity ratio of PC-98T to cholesteryl sodium sulfate salt was 4∶1,hydration temperature was 60 ℃ , ultrasonic time was 2 min,and the cryoprotectant was 7. 5% glucose. The average particle size, Zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency were (121. 3±48. 7) nm,-41. 9 mV and (98. 7±0. 1)% , respectively. Conclusion The formulation of freeze-dried 16-DHP liposome is reasonable, the technology is practicable and stable.

Objective To observe the proportion of the peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with equal-risk to coronary heart disease and to explore the clinical value of ankle brachial index(ABI). Methods Six hundred and twenty-one cases with equal-risk to coronary heart disease were recruited to the study. Their clinical data and biochemical indicators were collected for further analysis. The value of ABI, which was popularly used in screening PAD, was measured by Oscillometric measurement. All data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software. Results There were 169 cases had PAD,the proportion of it was 27.2%. The proportion of PAD in male and female were 34.6% and 16.1% respectively,which had significant difference(P ＜0.01). Compared with NonPAD group,the average age (65 ± 10 years vs. 60 ± 10 years,P ＜0.01) and total cholesterol level (5.4 ± 1.1 mmol/L vs. (5.1 ± 1.1) mtool/L, P ＜ 0.01) were significantly higher in PAD group. Logistic regression analysis showed that gender,age and total cholesterol were major risk factors of PAD in patients with equal-risk to coronary heart disease. Proportion of PAD was up to 50.0% in patients with combined coronary heart disease,ischemic stroke and diabetes. Conclusions ABI is a feasible and reliable index for screening PAD in patients with equal-risk to coronary heart disease. Gender,age and total cholesterol are major risk factors of low ABI in patients with equal-risk to coronary heart disease.

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the drug utilization data in the second half year of 2007 in our hospital.METHODS:By using ABC analytic method,the consumption amount,consumption sum and the varieties of drugs used in the second half year of 2007 in our hospital were analyzed statistically.RESULTS:Type A,B and C drugs accounted for 16.34%,18.76% and 65.03%,respectively,in terms of the consumption amount.CONCLUSION:The drug utilization structure in our hospital is rational on the whole,but the use of antibiotics is somewhat irrational and thus need to be standardized further.

Objective To explore the relationship between the levels of inflammatory factors and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods Fifty patients with T2DM were recruited and divided into T2DM with insulin resistance(IR) group(26 patients) and T2DM without insulin resistance (NIR) group (24 patients) according to insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR).Twenty-four healthy individuals conducting physical examination were recruited as the healthy control group.All participants underwent carotid ultrasound IMT to assess carotid intima-media thickness.The level of fasting plasma glucose (FPG),fasting insulin (FINS),blood lipids,high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were measured.Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)index was used for quantitative analysis of HOMA-IR.Results The levels of HOMA-IR,hs-CRP,TNF-α and IMT in control group,NIR group and IR group increased gradually and were significantly different(HOMA-IR:(1.74 ±0.49) vs.(2.24 ±0.41) vs.(4.89 ±0.84) ;F =190.228,P ＜0.01) ;hs-CRP(mg/L):(1.75 ±0.83) vs.(3.08 ± 1.04) vs.(5.89 ± 1.17) ;F =106.523,P ＜ 0.01) ;TNF-α (ng/L):(15.25 ± 7.64) vs.(23.38 ± 8.82) vs.(47.42 ± 9.97) ;F =89.210,P＜0.01) ;IMT(mm):(0.69 ±0.31) vs.(1.07±0.32) vs.(1.49±0.43);F=30.942,P＜0.01).Correlation analysis showed that the level of hs-CRP was positively correlated with the levels of HOMA-IR and IMT (r =0.453 and 0.395 respectively,P ＜ 0.05) ;The level of TNF-α was positively correlated with the levels of HOMA-IR and IMT (r =0.428 and 0.376 respectively,P ＜ 0.05) ; The level of HOMA-IR was positively correlated with the level of IMT (r =0.403,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Inflammatory activity is found in patients with T2DM,which is significantly correlated with insulin resistance.Inflammatory factors and insulin resistance play an important role in the occurrence and development of carotid atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM.

In order to meet the needs of detection of poisoning-inducing pesticides occurring in poisoning emergency events, this article introduces and discusses the characteristics, scope of application, and advantages and disadvantages of two types of detection technologies: laboratory detection and on-site rapid detection. The sample pre-processing technology suitable for on-site detection is also elaborated.
