Objective:To develop an HPLC method for the determination of capsaicine, dihydrocapsaicin, imperatorin and isoim-peratorin in Guanjie Jietong plasters. Methods:A CAPCELL PAK C18 column was used as the chromatographic column, and the flow rate was 0. 8 ml·min-1. The mobile phase A consisted of methanol-acetonitrile(1∶1), the mobile phase B was of 1% phosphoric acid. The detection wavelength was 280 nm and 254 nm, respectively. Results:There was a good linear relationship between the con-centrations and the peak areas within the range of 0. 298-5. 956μg(r=0. 9998) for capsaicine, 0. 152-3. 044μg(r=0. 999 6) for di-hydrocapsaicin, 0. 018-0. 352 μg(r=0. 999 5) for imperatorin and 0. 010-0. 204 μg(r=0. 999 3) for isoimperatorin. The average re-covery was 97. 8%(RSD=1. 02%), 97. 0%(RSD=0. 76%), 96. 6%(RSD=0. 65%) and 98. 1%(RSD=1. 35%), respectively. Conclusion:The method is convenient, accurate, sensitive and repeatable, which can be used in the determination of capsaicine, di-hydrocapsaicin, imperatorin and isoimperatorin in Guanjie Jietong plasters.

0.05).However,the level of PRG-1 protein in cerebral cortex of experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group at 7 d(t=2.347,P=0.041).Conclusion The up-regulated expression of PRG-1 in cerebral cortex may be associated with the recurrent neonatal seizure-induced brain damage.

The battlefield rescuing unit of the current model is always restricted by some factors such as regional environments in wartime rescuing action and peacetime disaster relief, which can lead to failure of following and deploying action, so that wounded persons can not be rescued at the first time. Aiming at the special circumstances, a forward first-aid unit composed of five doctors and nurses should be established to give emergency medical rescue with rescuing emergent equipments and medicine packed in portable packages such as portable respiring machine, defibrillator and oxygen device at the battlefront. In this way, success rate of rescuing wounded persons would be increased obviously, while mortality rate and deformity rate would be decreased greatly.

A growing number of children and adolescents are being diagnosed as Chiari malformation type Ⅰ (CM-Ⅰ) for behavioral disorders,developmental delay,seizures,or abnormal orpharyngeal function.The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics,imaging findings and surgical outcomes of CM-Ⅰ in pediatric and adult patients.Between January 2014 and June 2017,84 patients with CM-Ⅰ underwent surgical treatment in our department.We divided the patients into two groups:pediatric group (n=1 1,age ＜18 years)and adult group (n=73,age ≥18 years).Data on clinical characteristics,imaging findings,surgical outcomes,and prognosis were retrospectively reviewed and compared between these two groups.For clinical presentation,scoliosis (36.4％) and developmental delay (36.4％) were more common in pediatric patients,whereas,sensory disturbance (58.9％) and motor weakness (41.1％) were more common in adult patients.Imaging findings showed that the incidence of hydrocephalus and craniovertebral junctional abnormalities was significantly higher in pediatric group than in adult group (P＜0.05).Compared to adult group,pediatric group showed a better improvement or resolution of syrinx and tonsillar herniation after surgical treatments (P＜0.05).The total Chicago Chiari Outcome Scale (CCOS) score in pediatric patients at the last follow-up was significantly higher than that in adult patients (P=0.002).In conclusion,the clinical characteristics and imaging findings appeared to be different in pediatric and adult patients with CM-Ⅰ.The surgical outcomes of pediatric patients were shown to be significantly better than those of adult patients.

Pluronic modified polyamidoamine (PAMAM) conjugate (PF127-PAMAM) was prepared and the inhibiting effect of MDR against MCF-7/ADR was investigated with doxorubicin (DOX) as model drug. 1H NMR and FTIR spectra showed that the conjugate was synthesized successfully. Element analysis accurately measured that 27.63% amino of per PAMAM was modified by pluronic (PAMAM : PF127, 1 : 35.37 mole ratio). PF127-PAMAM showed an increased size and a reduced zeta potential compared to PAMAM. PF127-PAMAM had lower hemolytic toxicity and cytotoxicity due to the reduced zeta potential and the protection of PF127. Each PF127-PAMAM molecular could load 19.58 DOX molecules, and the complex exhibited sustained and pH-sensitive release behavior. PF127-PAMAM/DOX exhibited weaker cytotoxicity than free DOX in MCF-7 cells; while the complex showed much stronger reverse effect of drug resistance in MCF-7/ADR cells, and resistance reversion index (RRI) was as high as 33.15.

Urinary prothrombin fragment 1 (UPTF1) is a potent inhibitor of urinary stone formation. UPTF1 exerts such inhibitory effect by effective γ-carboxylation in which vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1), the rate-limiting enzyme, is involved. This study examined the correlation between VKORC1 expression and calcium oxalate urolithiasis. The renal cortex samples were obtained from patients undergoing nephrectomy and then divided into 3 groups: urolithiasis group, control group A [hydronephrosis-without-stone (HWS) group], control group B (normal control group). The localization and expression of VKORC1 in renal tissues were determined by using immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence microscopy, Western blotting and SYBR Green I real-time reverse-transcription PCR. The rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) were conducted to obtain the 3'- and 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of VKORC1. The results showed that VKORC1 was located in the cytoplasm of renal tubular epithelial cells. The expression of VKORC1 in the urolithiasis group was significantly lower than that in the other two control groups (P<0.05). Moreover, the 3'- and 5'-UTR sequence of the VKORC1 gene was successfully cloned. No insertion or deletion was found in the 3'- and 5'-UTR. However, a 171-bp new base sequence was discovered in the upstream of 5'-UTR end in the urolithiasis group. It was concluded that the decreased expression of VKORC1 may contribute to the development of calcium oxalate urolithiasis in the kidney.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the status and characteristics of dental manpower in the center for disease controls (CDC) in Sichuan Province and to provide more evidence for strengthening the oral healthcare workforce in the CDC system.

METHODSA mass survey on dental manpower was made in CDCs in Sichuan Province through questionnaire investigation. Data were collected and entered with the Epidemiological Dynamic Data Collection (EDDC) platform and analyzed with SPSS 13.0 software.

RESULTSSichuan Province had 0.15 hospitals providing oral health services and 0.38 dentists on average per 10,000 people. About 65.53% (135/206) of the CDCs had one department responsible for the oral health service. However, oral health care personnel comprised only 2.23% (237/10,624) of the personnel of the whole CDC system. About 64.67% (119/184) of county CDCs and 47.62% (10/21) of city CDCs knew well the dental health status of local residents. Less than 5% of the CDCs used the data and assisted in the policy making of public health administrators.

CONCLUSIONThe dental care personal deficit exists in the CDC system in Sichuan Province. The distribution and composition of dental manpower are not reasonable. The oral health service ability of CDCs in Sichuan Province should be strengthened and improved.
