OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for content determination of dihydroartemisinin in Dihydroartemisinin and piper-aquine phosphate tablets. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Waters YMC-Pack ODS-AQ with mobile phase of acetonitrile-water(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 216 nm,column temperature was 30℃,and injection volume was 20 μl. RESULTS:The linear range of dihydroartemisinin was 0.009 650-1.930 mg/ml(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were no more than 0.5%;average recovery was 100.76%(RSD=0.95%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,rapid and accurate,and can be used for the content determination of dihydroartemis-inin in Dihydroartemisinin and piperaquine phosphate tablets.

The late-preterm infant refers to the infant who is born at 340/7 through 366/7 week's gestation.In recent years,the number of the late-preterm continually ascends and the proportion of them in the preterm group increase as well.Recent studies find that the rates of morbidity and mortality of late-preterm infants are much higher than those of term infants.The rise of the proportion of the former and the more medical resources consumed attract the considerable attention thereby.In this article,we will review late-preterm infants' morbidity of several systems and its influential factors in order to provide more information for perinatal medical staff to improve diagnosis,treatment and further research.

The formation and progression of tumor is inseparable from the changes of cell cycle regulatory proteins.The G2-M period block effect of tumor cells is especially important in slowing the growth of tumor and improving the curative effect.DNA damage receptor,signal transduction factor and effectors are the classical pathways to mediate G2 phase arrest of tumor cells,and have the potential to be new targets for tumor therapy.

The technology,of extracting Semen Cassiae from Jueming Jiangzhi Powder was investigated.The perceutages of extra ction and preservation of anthraquinone were used to select the methods of extra ction, concentration and drying of Semen Cassiae. The optimal procedure was set as follows:the large-size powder of Semen Cassiae was extracted with 50% alcohol for three times, then the extracted liquid was concentrated by vacuum evaporati on and finally dried by spraying.

With the improvement of cataract operation, the cataract surgery has become increasingly perfect. The cataract patients show greater expectation for the result of cataract operation. As a result, refractive cataract surgery has become the main trend. Detailed investigations of corneal diseases, lens density, corneal topography, preferable intraocular lens ( IOL ) choice, and IOL power calculation can help us get a better knowledge of preoperative conditions on patients, which can be conducted with pentacam. So we can have a better forecast of post - operative outcome and improve the quality of vision for cataract patients after surgery.

Procalcitonin ( PCT) has closely related to the severity of senile pulmonary infection, and its dynamic detection can be used as the auxiliary diagnosis index for elderly severe pneumonia ( SP) . The effects of serum PCT dynamic detection in the early quick identification, diagnosis, disease course monitoring and prognosis evaluation for elderly SP were reviewed, and the effects and clinical significance of the detection in the optimization of antibiotic therapy were also summarized in the paper. The results showed the impor-tant value of PCT dynamic detection in the diagnosis of elderly SP and anti-infection therapy.

AIM: To study the effect of estrogen on injury induced by ?-amyloid protein (A?) in primary cultures of rat cortical neurons. METHODS: The effect of 17?-E_2 on A?(25-35)-induced cell death in primary rat cortical neurons was observed by phase contrast light microscopy, Giemsa staining and determination of lactate dehydrohenase (LDH) release rate. RESULTS: A?(25-35) induced cell death in rat primary cortical neurons. Forty eight hours pretreatment with 17?-E_2 protected rat primary cortical neurons from A?(25-35)-induced injury. CONCLUSION: A? evokes toxicity in rat primary cortical neurons. Estrogen can protect the rat primary cortical neurons against injury induced by A? (25-35).

Objective:To find a better way to protect the security and interests of vulnerable groups by exploring the problem of protecting the vulnerable groups in drug clinical trial from the perspectives of ethics committees,organization and researchers.Methods:According to the relevant literature and the actual situation of the hospital,this paper analyzed the security issues of vulnerable groups comprehensively.Results:Only the ethics committees,organization and researchers work together,can it protect the security and interests of vulnerable groups to the greatest extents.Conclusion:Further research on the security of vulnerable groups not only promotes the development of human health,but also plays a decisive role in improving the protection of subjects in drug clinical trial.

OBJECTIVE:To study the restraining factors in the intravenous immune globulin(IVIG.)bacterial endotoxin test.METHODS:A series tests were designed;the sensitivity of limulus was checked and the limit of endotoxin was validated;the effects of vehicle and pH value on the IVIG endotoxin test results were observed so as to find out the chief restraining factors of this test method.RESULTS:Lower pH value has an inhibition effect on the in IVIG bacterial endotoxin test.CONCLUSION:Bacterial endotoxin test can replace the rabbit testing method in the pyrogen test of IVIG.When the condition of lower pH is changed.

In this paper,based on the present situation of the pharmaceutical education in China,the author brings forward the challenge and opportunity to pharmaceutical education at medical colleges,and then gives us some helpful ideas to solve the problems.
