OBJECTIVE To determine the concentrations of dopamine (DA) in human urine,studying the change of uric dopamine content before and after laser acupuncture treated Parkinsons disease patients.To estabilsh attemptly the standard of apprasing the treatment method which is combined traditional medical theory with modern technology.METHODS The urine samples were extracted with organic solvent and determined by HPLC-RF.RESULTS A good correlation was obtained between dopamine over 20~400 ng*mL-1 and peak height,r=0.9996.The recoveries of DA were (89.69±3.95)%~(92.99±6.5)% for urine samples.There was a close correlation between DA content and the severity of parkinsons disease.The DA content in urine of patients before acupuncture was less than healthy ones.DA content in urine increased most at 4 h and content still maintained high as normal scope at 12 after acupuncture.CONCLUSION This HPLC-RF assay was sensitive,accurate stable and convenient.It is an important method to evaluate the effects of treated Parkinsons disease by laser acupunctrue.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of gene polymorphism on opioid-induced constipation. METHODS The target genes related to opioid-induced constipation were screened out through searching guidelines, databases and evidence-based medical data, and then 100 cancer pain patients who received opioid drugs for analgesia were included as the study subjects. According to whether there were adverse effects of constipation after medication or not, they were divided into test group and control group, with 50 cases in each group. The target gene was detected by PCR or fluorescence in situ hybridization. The SNPStats program was used to carry out Hardy-Weinberg balance test and correlation analysis between gene polymorphism and opioid-induced constipation. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relevant predictive factors of opioid-induced constipation, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of subjects was drawn to analyze the effectiveness of each predictive factor in predicting opioid-induced constipation. RESULTS CYP2D6, CYP3A5*3, ABCB1 and OPRM1 were selected as target genes for detection. The results of genotype detection showed that the frequency distribution of CYP2D6 (rs1065852, rs1135822, rs16947, rs28371725, rs28371735), CYP3A5*3 (058rs776746), ABCB1 (062rs1045642), OPRM1 (047rs1799971) alleles were consistent with Hardy-Weinbergbalance test. The correlation analysis results showed that the proportion of genotype GG and AG in CYP3A5*3 (058rs776746, 163.com A>G) and genotype AA and AG in OPRM1 (047rs1799971, A>G) of patients was significantly higher in test group than that in the control group (P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that medication duration, CYP3A5*3 and OPRM1 gene polymorphism could be used as predictors of opioid- induced constipation in patients (P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis results showed that the areas under the ROC curves for medication duration and CYP3A5*3, OPRM1 gene polymorphism were 0.648, 0.640 and 0.670, respectively, with the optimal cutoff values of 124.0, 0.5 and 0.5, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Genotype GG and AG in CYP3A5*3 (058rs776746,A>G) and genotype AA and AG in OPRM1 (047rs1799971,A>G) are associated with opioid-induced constipation, which are expected to become clinical predictors of opioid-induced constipation, and more attention should be paid to the occurrence of constipation in patients who have been taking opioids for a long time.
