The determination and characterization of solid drug form polymorphisms plays an important role in drug quality control, selection of the production process and clinical efficacy evaluation. Vibrational spectroscopy is a powerful method for the characterization of drug polymorphisms. In this paper we review recent research and application advances in the polymorphic characterization of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and drug cocrystals/salts by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy to elucidate the characteristics of APIs and drug complexes. This may provide theoretical support for structural analysis during the development process for drugs.

Objective To explore the significance of ultrasound in choosing the delivery modality in 200 cases scarred uterus gravida′s second deliveries .Methods The study selected 200 cases late pregnancy gravidas who had once uterine incision delivery history and analyzed clinical data retrospectively ,all of them were chosen from September 2010 to September 2013 in our hospital . All cases were taken by transabdominal ultrasound or transvaginal ultrasound firstly ,then taken by transabdomina transvaginal ul‐trasound ,finally contrast obsenved the transabdomina transvaginal ultrasound detections with their caesarean section observations , meanwhile observe how the uterus scar ranking affect the delivery consequence .Results (1)A total of 200 cases had higher uterus scars visualization ratio(100 .0% ) than ransabdominal ultrasound (92 .0% )and transvaginal ultrasound(96 .5% )(P<0 .05);con‐trasting the transabdomina transvaginal ultrasound with the caesarean section observations ,there was no significant difference(P>0 .05) .The grading diagnosis coincidence of transabdomina‐transvaginal ultrasound was 89 .74% .(2)The UD rate ,the bleeding vol‐ume during operation and the 24 hours postoperative bleeding volume of scarred uterus gravida grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ were signifi‐cantly higher than grade Ⅰ (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Transabdomina transvaginal ultrasound can effectively improve the diagnosis coincidence rate of uterine scar detection and can help to chose the better delivery mode according to the scars healing .

Objective To investigate the plasma visfatin levels and explore the relationship between visfatin and anthropometric parameters,glucose,lipid profile,insulin sensitivity index and insulin secretion index in the subjects with different glucose tolerances.Methods Fifty-three patients with newly diagonosed type 2 diabetes(T2DM),7 subjects with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)and 35 healthy controls were enrolled.Visfatin levels were measured along with the BMI,blood pressure,lipids,glucose,insulin and HOMA-IR indexes.Results Plasma visfatin levels were elevated in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM compared with IGT group or controls.There was no significant difference in the visfatin levels between IGT group and healthy controls.Plasma visfatin level was positively correlated with glucose levels and HOMA-IR,and negatively correlated with insulin secretion index(HOMA-B).Multiple regression analysis showed that postprandial plasma glucose was independent related factor influencing plasma visfatin levels.In T2DM group,plasma visfatin concentration was positively correlated with HbA1c level.Conclusion The increased plasma visfatin concentration in newly diagnosed and untreated type 2 diabetes mellitus represents a compensatory mechanism aimed at ameliorating the functional consequences of insulin deficiency.

[ Objective ] To investigate the effect of Huatan Quyu Tablets in treating carotid atherosclerosis ( CA). [Methods] Color Doppler ultrasonographic technique was used to detect the mid-intima thickness (MIT) and carotid resistance (CR) in 40 cases of CA before and after treatment with Huatan Quyu Tablets . [Results] MIT and CR were both decreased after treatment (P

Background Compare with the lamellar laser refractive surgery,the laser slip on the surface operation is a better method in the correct of refractive error without the flap-related complications.However,whether to remain corneal epithelial flap and its influence for epithelial healing and visual restoration are still under investigation.Objective The aim of this study was to compare the short-term clinical efficacy of epipolis laser insitu keratomileusis (Epi-LASIK) and flap-free Epi-LASIK for correction of refractive error in high myopia.Methods The paired control design was adopted.Sixty eyes of consecutive 30 patients with high myopia were collected in this study.The written consent form was obtained from each patients prior to operation.Regular EpiLASIK was performed in the right eyes and the flap-free Epi-LASIK was carried out in the left eyes.Patients were followed-up for one month.The postoperative ocular irritation symptoms were scored,and the healing period of corneal epithelium and uncorrected visual acuity were examined at 1,3 and 5 days after operation.The naked visual acuity,diopter,best corrected visual acuity and the grading of haze were recorded and compared between the two groups at one month after operation.Results After surgery,the scores of corneal irritation were 3.13 ±0.43 and 3.30±0.47on the first day,showing insignificant differences between these two groups (t =- 1.54,P＞0.05 ).However,there existed statistically significant difference in the scores of corneal irritation on the third day after operation between the two groups (t =- 17.95,P＜0.01 ).The average time of corneal epithelial healing were (2.58 ±0.49 ) days in the flapfree Epi-LASIK group and ( 3.98 ±0.74) days in Epi-LASIK group with the significant difference between them (t=-11.36,P＜0.01 ).There was no statistical difference in uncorrected visual acuity in the first day (0.59±0.12 vs 0.58±0.11,t=0.39,P＞0.05),the fifth day (0.69±0.08 vs 0.67±0.09,t=0.84,P＞0.05) and 1 month (t =-1.90,P＞0.05 ).No significant difference was seen in the diopter between the two groups in 1 month after surgery (-1.03±0.45 vs -1.07 ±0.38,t =-0.31,P＞0.05 ).The eye numbers of corneal haze for 0 grade were 27 ( 90.00％ ) and over the 0.5 grade were 3 ( 10.00％ ) in flap-free Epi-LASIK group respectively,and those of corneal haze for 0 grade were 26(86.66％ ) and above the 0.5 grade were 4 (13.33％) in Epi-LASIK group respectively,showing a considerably difference between the two groups (x2 =0.0031,P＞0.05).Conclusions Both the flapfree or reserved epithelial Epi-LASIK allow the safe and effective correction of refractive error in high myopia,showing good predictability and stability in short term.Flap-free Epi-LASIK can relieve the corneal irritation symptom and accelerate the healing of corneal epithelium and recovery of visual acuity.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of synthetic interferon‐induced transmembrane protein 1(IFITM1) siRNA on the proliferation and migration of human ovarian cancer cell line CP 70 .Methods The siRNA targeted IFITM1 was transfected into CP70 cells by LipofectamineTM 2000 . Expressions of IFITM1 mRNA and protein were examined by qRT‐PCR and Western blot .Plate clone assay and Transwell chamber were used to observe the proliferation and migration of CP 70 cells .Results IFITM1 siRNA significantly inhibited the expression of IFITM1 in human ovarian cancer cell line CP70 at both mRNA and protein levels . The colony formation assay indicated that the clone number was 84 in IFITM1siRNA , which was much fewer than 181 in negative control group and 178 in mock transfection group .The colony‐forming efficiency (CFE) was 42% ,90 .5%and 89% ,respectively .Transwell chamber results showed that the number of migrated cells was 59 ,121 and 126 , respectively ;the siRNA transfection group differed significantly from the other two groups , indicating that downregulated IFITM1 expression greatly inhibited the proliferation and migration of CP 70 cells .Conclusion Knockdown of IFITM1 inhibited the proliferation and migration of CP70 cells .IFITM1 is a potential therapeutic target for human ovarian cancer .
