Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2025;38(08):962-968
Objective To develop a high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) method for the determination of residual EDTA disodium salt(EDTA-2Na) content in freeze-dried rabies vaccine(Vero cells) for human use, and to verify and preliminarily apply the method, so as to ensure the content of EDTA-2Na within the safe concentration range.Methods The condition for HPLC was as follows: reverse chromatographic column was adopted, using the mobile phase consisting of 0. 1%phosphate solution as the aqueous phase and 100% methanol as the organic phase at a flow rate of 1. 0 mL/min and a detection wavelength of 242 nm. The injection volume was 20 μL, and the column temperature was 25 ℃. The developed method was verified for suitability, limit of quantitation(LOQ), specificity, linear range, accuracy, reproducibility, and intermediate precision, and the residual EDTA-2Na contents in thr ee batches of bulk of freeze-dried rabies vaccine(Vero cells) for human use were determined using this method.Results The LOQ of EDTA-2Na detected by this method was 0. 490 0 μg/mL. The blank and sample solution had no interference to EDTA-2Na, and the separation degree of the target and adjacent peaks was more than 1. 5. EDTA-2Na showed good linearity in the concentration range of 0. 490 0 to 9. 800 0 μg/mL. The recovery rates of EDTA-2Na in spiked samples at concentrations of 50%, 100% and 150% were from 94% to 113%. The recovery rates of EDTA-2Na in six solutions of reproducibility verification ranged from 100% to 102%, with a relative standard deviation(RSD) of 1%. A total of 12 solutions of intermediate precision verification from different personnel were measured, and the RSD of recovery rate was 2%. In addition, EDTA-2Na was not detected in three batches of samples.Conclusion The developed HPLC has good suitability, specificity, linearity, accuracy, reproducibility and intermediate precision, which is suitable for the determination of residual EDTA-2Na in bulk of freeze-dried rabies vaccine(Vero cells) for human use.
2.THE DECREASE OF SERUM FERRITIN LEVEL IN WOMEN USING INTRAUTERINE DEVICE AND ITS RESTORATION AFTER IRON-LOADING
Acta Nutrimenta Sinica 1956;0(01):-
To study the effect of using a steel stainless intrauterine device(IUD) on the incidence of anemia and iron deficiency and thus to find a suitable way to prevent or cure it, the serum ferritin level of 176 women bearing such an IUD was determined (FER-IRON kit, Ramco laboratories, USA). As compared with the control group which was composed of 163 women having been performed with tubal sterilization, no distinct difference in hemoglobin levels and red cell counts was observed, but the serum ferritin level in IUD-bearing group decreased markedly (26.6?1.4 vs. 36.3?2.2 ng/ml, pears). When treated with ferrous sulfate (0.3 g, t.i.d.) for 7 days, the ferritin level of the group of these IUD users raised up to that of the control group rapidly. It was suggested that the supplement of iron in time for the IUD users suffering from menorrhagia was necessary and efficient.

5.Effects of rapamycin on expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in human lens epithelial cells and cell cycle in rats.
Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Medical Sciences) 2011;31(4):555-9
The effects of rapamycin on the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax protein in in vitro cultured human lens epithelial cells (LECs) and cell cycle were investigated in order to provide the theoretical basis for the development of new inhibitory drugs for clinical prevention and treatment of after-cataract. The cultured LECs of second and third passages were collected and treated with rapamycin. The LECs were transferred into 96-well culture plates and divided into 6 groups, and each group was set to have 8 duplicate wells. In the negative control group, the LECs were given culture medium only, and in the blank control group, only culture medium was given. In the four rapamycin-treated groups, different concentrations (20, 40, 60 and 80 ng/mL) of rapamycin were given. After treatment for 24, 48 and 72 h, the absorbance (A) values in each well were determined by MTT assay. The cell cycles of all groups were detected by using flow cytometry. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RFQ-PCR) and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax respectively. MTT assay showed that rapamycin could inhibit proliferation of LECs in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometry revealed that rapamycin could block the conversion of LECs from G1 phase to S phase, resulting in the increase of cells in G(1) phase and the decrease of the cells in S phase. RFQ-PCR indicated that rapamycin could down-regulate the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA, but up-regulate the expression of Bax mRNA, suggesting it could induce apoptosis of LECs. Western blot demonstrated that rapamycin could suppress the expression of Bcl-2 protein, but promote the expression of Bax protein. It is concluded that rapamycin could inhibit proliferation of LECs probably not only by blocking the progression of cell cycle, but also by promoting the induction of apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the evaluation value of oxygenation index at different times of mechanical ventilation (MV) on the prognosis of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods A retrospectively analysis was conducted. A total of 228 patients with ARDS admitted to Department of Emergency of China Medical University Affiliated First Hospital from February 2014 to June 2016 were enrolled. All patients underwent MV treatment, and recruitment maneuver (RM) was performed by pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) 30 minutes after the implementation of the protective ventilation strategy. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed at MV immediately, after RM and at 6, 12, 24 hours of MV, and oxygenation index was calculated. Vital signs, laboratory data, ultrasonic echocardiography, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, duration of MV, and ventilator related parameters of patients were collected. The patients were divided into survivors and non-survivors according to the prognosis of 28 days. The survivors were subdivided into high and low oxygenation group (oxygenation index was ≥ 150 mmHg and < 150 mmHg, respectively, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa). Differences in clinical indicators between survivors and non-survivors were compared. The correlation between the oxygenation index after RM and the oxygenation index at each time after MV was analyzed by bivariate correlation analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to analyze predictive value of oxygenation index measured at different times for the 28-day outcome of patients with ARDS.Results Among 228 patients, 99 patients died within 28 days, and 129 survived, with mortality rate of 43.4%. ① The oxygenation index after RM and at 6, 12, 24 hours after MV in survivors and non-survivors showed a continuously increased tendency, which was significantly lower in non-survivors than that in survivors (allP < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the duration of MV between high oxygenation group and low oxygenation group at MV immediately and after RM, but the duration of MV in high oxygenation group was significantly shorter than that of the low oxygenation group at 6, 12, 24 hour of MV (allP < 0.01). ② After ventilation for 24 hours, serum creatinine (SCr), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), lactate (Lac), right ventricular internal diameter, and SOFA score in non-survivors were significantly higher than those of survivors, and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), platelet (PLT) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) were significantly lower than those of survivors (allP < 0.05). ③ After 24 hours ventilation, positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), tidal volume (VT), and minute ventilation (VE) in non-survivors were significantly higher than those of survivors, and static compliance of thorax (Cdyn) was significantly lower than that of survivors (allP < 0.01). ④ It was shown by correlation analysis that the oxygenation index after RM was positively correlated with those at 6, 12, 24 hours of MV (r values were 0.856, 0.765, and 0.758, respectively, allP < 0.001). ⑤ It was shown by ROC curve that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the oxygenation index after RM for predicting 28-day prognosis was 0.688. When the cut-off value was 80.75 mmHg, the sensitivity was 97.7%, and the specificity was 42.4%, which could only be used for preliminary judgment of prognosis. The AUC of oxygenation index at 6, 12,24 hours of MV for 28-day survival of ARDS patients were 0.719, 0.727, 0.754, respectively. When the cut-off values were 171.50, 192.14, and 161.75 mmHg, the sensitivity was 69.8%, 67.4%, 86.0%, and the specificity was 78.8%, 78.8%, and 63.6%, respectively. It indicated that the predictive value was higher, and no significant difference was found among the oxygenation index at different time points.Conclusions The oxygenation index after the early stage of RM can preliminarily determine the prognosis of patients. The predictive value of oxygenation index after MV for 28-day survival of ARDS patients was higher, so the oxygenation index measured at 6 hours of MV may be considered to evaluate the prognosis of patients with ARDS.
