This study aims to establish a method to determine the serum acetaminophen concentration based on diazo reaction, and apply it in the gastric emptying evaluation. Theoretically, acetaminophen could take hydrolysis reaction in hydrochloric acid solution to produce p-aminophenol, which could then take diazo reaction resulting in a product with special absorption peak at 312 nm. Then the serum acetaminophen concentration and recovery rate were calculated according to the standard curve drawn with absorbance at 312 nm. ICR mice were given a dose of acetaminophen (500 mg x kg(-1)) by gavage and the serum acetaminophen was dynamically measured through the diazo reaction. Besides, ICR mice were subcutaneously injected with the long-acting GLP-1 analog GW002 before the gavage of acetaminophen, and serum acetaminophen concentration was measured as above to study how GW002 could influence the gastric emptying. The data showed acetaminophen ranging from 0 to 160 μg x mL(-1) could take diazo reaction with excellent linear relationship, and the regression equation was y = 0.0181 x +0.0104, R2 = 0.9997. The serum acetaminophen was also measured with good linear relationship (y = 0.0045 x + 0.0462, R = 0.9982) and the recovery rate was 97.4%-116.7%. The serum concentration of acetaminophen reached peak at about 0.5 h after gavage, and then gradually decreased. GW002 could significantly lower the serum acetaminophen concentration and make the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) decrease by 28.4%. In conclusion, a method for the determination of serum acetaminophen based on the diazo reaction was established with good accuracy and could be used in the evaluation of gastric emptying.

BACKGROUND: Amniotic fluid cells have been widely used in antenatal diagnosis for gene mutation-related diseases. However,there are few reports concerning isolation, culture, surface character identification, differentiation and application perspective of fetal mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from amniotic fluid.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the differentiation of fetal mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from second-trimester amniotic fluid into osteoblasts in vitro.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The cytological/n v/tro study was conducted at the Experimental Center of Xinhua Hospital from August 2005 to May 2006.MATERIALS: Ten amniotic fluid samples were obtained from pregnant women (18-22 weeks after conception) or aborted women,The informed consents were obtained from pregnant women.METHODS: Fetal MSCs were separated mechanically from amniocyte culture system and expanded in medium in vitro. At passage 3, fetal MSCs were induced in 100 nmol/L dexamethasone, 10 mmol/L β-glycerophosphoric acid and 50 mg/L vitamin C for 14 days.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Collagen Ⅰ and alkaline phosphatase expression was detected by immunohistochemistry.Collagen Ⅰ protein expression was determined by Western Blot analysis. Calcium tuberoses were measured by Von Kossa staining. The cytoskeletal protein was detected by laser confocal microscopy.RESULTS: The isolated fetal MSCs were uniformly positive for CD44 and HLA-ABC, negative for CD34, CD45 and HLA-DR. After being induced with osteogenic medium for 14 days, 91% cells were positive for alkaline phosphatase, and 87% cells for collagen Ⅰ.Cells expressed collagen Ⅰ protein. Number of calcium tuberoses was increased and became big over time. Cytoplasm microfilament presented green fluorescence and the microfilament surrounding cells formed dense bundle.CONCLUSION: Fetal MSCs derived from amniotic fluid could be induced into osteeblasta and displayed a typical osteoblastic morphology and biological characteristic.
