Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2009;(11):1085-1088
Objective To establish dried blood spot determination for quantitative analysis of creatine phosphokinase (CK) activity; To analyze the correlation of CK value between serum detection and dried spot determination, and set up a 'cut-off point' for screening of pathologically high CK values in dried blood spot determination. MethodsA total of 100 samples were analyzed quantitatively with two methods (serum detection and dried blood spot determination) for CK activity. The correlation of the two methods was studied. The ' cut-off point' for screening of pathologically high CK in dried blood spot determination was calculated with receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve). ResultsOf the 100 samples, 50 were normal and other 50 were abnormal when the 'cut-off point' was set at serum CK of 170 IU/L. There was a positive correlation in CK values between serum detection and dried blood spot determination (r = 0.764, P < 0.01). However, the values measured with the two methods could not be interchanged. The sensitivity and the specificity were 90% when the 'cut-off point' was set at 150 lUlL. The sensitivity and the specificity were 70% and 72%, respectively, when the 'cut-off point' was set at 400 IU/L. ConclusionsThere was a good correlation in CK activity between serum detection and dried blood spot determination. 400 IU/L could be suggested as the 'cut-off point' for detecting pathologically high CK in dried blood spot determination.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2011;34(27):1-3
ObjectiveTo investigate the context-sensitive half-times of etomidate. Methods Twenty patients ( ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ ) underwent selective thoracic operation were divided into 2 groups by random digits table with 10 cases each,the patients were allocated to receive either continuous infusion etomidate 10μg/(kg·min) for 1 h(Gl group) or continuous infusion etomidate 10 μg/(kg·min) for 2 h(G2 group) of maintenance anesthesia. The samples were collected at the following time points: 1 min before stop infusion,2,5, 10,15,20,30,40,50 and 60 min after stop infusion. The plasma concentrations of etomidate were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography and the changes of the context-sensitive half-times of etomidate were calculated. ResultsThe context-sensitive half-times of etomidate was ( 17.1 ± 13.1 )min in G1 group and (21.7 ± 15.1 ) min in G2 group. There was no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionThe context-sensitive half-times of etomidate is short and its pharmacokinetic profile is suitable for continuous infusion.
5.ISOLATON AND DETERMINATION OF VITAMIN B_(12) IN FERMENTED SOYBEAN FOODS
Acta Nutrimenta Sinica 1956;0(04):-
Foods derived from plants are thought to be devoid of vitamin B12. We have found that some fermented foods contained microbiologically active vitamin B12 components.In order to ascertain the amount of physiological active vitamin B12, we have established a bioautographic area quantitative method of determination of vitamin B12. The procedure is described briefly as follows:The extract of fermented soybean food sample is spotted on a filter paper strip. The Paper is developed with a mixture of secbutanol-water-ammonia water- 5 % potassium cyanide (100: 50: 1: 0.5) using descending technique. After developing for 24-72 hours, the strip is taken out and dried in air. It is then put on the surface of nutrient agar containing E. coli 44110 and 2,3,5,-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride. After incubation, the area of spot of growth is measured and the amount of vitamin B12 in the sample is calculated.Two types of fermented soybean food samples were assayed by the above procedure, mean values of vitamin B12 content are: fermented soybean curd with strong smell contains 0.97 ?g/100g sample, fermented soybean curd contains 0.41 ?g/100g sample. Compared with animal foods, both types of fermented soybean foods may be considered as good source of vitamin B12.
6.Multi-slice Spiral CT Diagnosis of Thoracolumbar Burst Fracture
Journal of Practical Radiology 2000;0(12):-
Objective To evaluate multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) various postprocessing technique in diagnosing thoracolumbar burst fracture.Methods MSCT scaning was performed in 36 patients with 42 thoracolumbar vertebrae burst fracture altogether. The raw data of allthese cases were processed respectively by four kinds of image reconstruction, including multiple planar reconstruction (MPR), maximumintensity projection (MIP), surface shaded display (SSD) and virtual endoscope (VE), and the CT findings were compared with pathological results.Results The diagnosis was based on a combination of MPR with conventional axial scans which could display two dimensional images well. MIP could only show the fracture of lamina of vertebral arch and was superior to other techniques in displaying the whole figure. On the basis of imaging characteristics the fracture of lamina of vertebral arch was divided into 5 types:vertical, transversal, “7”-graphemic or reverse“7”-graphemic ,“S” and displaced. SSD fully displayed three dimensional surface of the fractured vertebral body as well as the severity of compressed vertebrae. VE could show displaced vertebrae and also the severity of narrow spinal canal.Conclusion Based on two dimensional images and combined with three dimensional images, MSCT can comprehensively show the thoracolumbar burst fracture. Several methods should be applied jointly.

8.Effect of emulsified isoflurane preconditioning on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2010;30(6):736-738
Objective To investigate the effect of emulsified isoflurane preconditioning on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats and the mechanism. Methods Fifty-six healthy male adult SD rats weighing 250-280 g were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 14): group Ⅰ sham operation (group S); group Ⅱfocal cerebral I/R; group Ⅲ emulsified isoflurane preconditioning and group Ⅳ fat emulsion preconditioning. Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) using a nylon thread with rounded tip inserted into internal carotid artery and advanced cranially until resistance was met. MCAO was maintained for 2 h followed by 24 h reperfusion. In group Ⅲ and Ⅳ 8% emulsified isoflurane 7.5 ml/kg and 3% fat emulsion 7.5 ml/kg were injected intraperitoneally at 24 h before MCAO respectively. Neurologic outcome was evaluated at 24 h of reperfusion and scored (0 = no deficit, 4 = unable to crawl, loss of consciousness). The animals were then killed and brains removed. The infarct size was assessed. The apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL and calculated. The expression of Bax, Bcl-2, cytochrome C and caspase-3 protein was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results The neurologic deficit scores were significantly lower in emulsified isoflurane preconditioning group than in I/R group. Preconditioning with emulsified isoflurane significantly decreased the infarct size and the number of apoptotic cells and increased the expression of Bcl-2 protein and inhibited the expression of Bax, cytochrome C and caspace-3 protein. Conclusion Emulsified iscflurane preconditioning can protect the brain from focal cerebral I/R by increasing Bcl-2 protein expression and decreasing Bax protein expression, and reducing cytochrome C release from mitochondria, caspase-3 activation and neuronal apoptosis.

Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2015;35(4):426-429
Objective To investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress in lung ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Fifty-six healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-320 g,were randomly divided into 2 groups using a random number table:sham operation group (group S,n=16) and I/R group (n=40).Lung I/R was induced by clamping the left hilum of lung for 60 min followed by reperfusion.Before ischemia (T0) and at 0,1,2 and 4 h (T4) of reperfusion,PaO2 and PaCO2 were recorded.The rats were sacrificed,and lungs were removed for examination of pathological changes.Wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) was calculated.The expression of molecular chaperones of 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) protein and mRNA was detected in lung tissues using Western blot and real-time PCR,respectively.Results Compared with group S,PaO2was significantly decreased,PaCO2 and W/D ratio were increased,and the expression of GRP78 and CHOP protein and mRNA was up-regulated during reperfusion,and the pathological changes of lungs were found in group I/R.With the prolongation of reperfusion,the pathological changes of lungs were gradually aggravated,and the expression of GRP78 and CHOP protein and mRNA was gradually up-regulated in group I/R.Conclusion Excessive endoplasmic reticulum stress may be one of the pathophysiological mechanisms of lung I/R injury in rats.
