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

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 .

Monteggia fracture dislocation refers to the fracture of the ulna with associated dislocation of the radial head. This rare injury only accounts for less than 5%of all the forearm fractures. By literature review of the history of Monteggia fracture dislocation, the authors further clarify the definition, classification, injury mechanism and treatment protocol of this special type of fracture. The key to a good result of the treatment for a Monteggia fracture dislocation is timely diagnosis and management so that anatomic reduction and stable fixation of the ulna can be achieved. In addition, enough attention must be paid to the associated injuries at the level of the elbow, including fractures of the coronoid process and the radial head as well as posterolateral rotatory instability of the ulnohumeral articulation. The factors strongly affecting prognosis include comminuted fractures of the ulna combined with fractures of the radial head and coronoid process.
