This paper is to report the development of a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of s-oleylpropanolamide (OPA) in various tissues of rat (brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, small intestine, kidney, adipose tissue and muscle), and to assess the applicability of the assay to tissue distribution. OPA was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction method with undecylenoylethanolamide as an internal standard. The concentrations of OPA were determined by LC-MS/MS after a single intragastric dose of 50 mg x kg(-1) at 4 time points (5 rats per group). With multiple reactions monitoring mode (MRM) the limit of quantification (LLOQ) was determined at 1 microg x L(-1). The calibration curve was linear from 1 to 2 x 104 microg x L(-1) (r > or = 0.999 0) for tissue homogenates. Validation parameters such as accuracy, precision and recovery were found to be within the acceptance criteria of the assay validation guidelines. The highest concentration was found in small intestine (the highest time point is 15 min) and heart (the highest time point is 90 min). The assay is rapid, sensitive and applicable to studying tissue distribution of OPA in rats.

Objective To investigate the correlation between microalbuminuria (MAU) and obesity and its indexes, including BMI, waist circumference(WC), and waist-to-hip ratio(WHR) , among partial community population in Beijing. Methods A total of 2080 subjects who took physical examination in Beijing, including 810 men and 1270 women with a mean age of(50. 9 ± 13. 1 )years, were enrolled. The informed consent has been achieved from each patients. BMI and WHR were calculated based on collected data of height, weight, WC, and hipline. Urine albumin-creatinine ratio(ACR) within the range of 30-300mg/g was classified as MAU. The subjects were divided into normal albuminuria ( NAU ) group and MAU group. The correlations between MAU and different obesity indexes including BMI, WC and WHR, were analyzed. Results Among the 2080 subjects, there was a positive correlation between BMI (r = 0. 1276,P＜0.01) and ACR, and WC (r = 0.0840, P ＜0.01) and ACR. WHR and ACR was irrelevant ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). In univariate analysis, there was significant difference in BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2 ( OR = 2. 02 ) and WC ≥85 cm (male) or≥80 cm (female) (OR = 1.69 ) between NAU group and MAU group (P ＜ 0. 05 ).There was no significant difference in BMI 24-＜ 28 kg/m2, and WHR ≥0. 90 (male) or ≥0. 85 (female)between NAU group and MAU group( P≥0. 05 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that BMI ( OR = 1.06) was an isolated independent risk factor of MAU from age ( OR = 1.01 ), female ( OR = 1.42),systolic blood pressure (OR=1.01), TC (OR=1.93) and HDL-C (OR=0.54). Conclusions Obesity is an independent risk factor of MAU among partial community population in Beijing. The correlation between different obesity indexes and MAU also differs.

A multiplex real-time PCR was developed to detect ctxA of Vibrio cholerae, gyrB and tdh of Vibrio parahaemolyticus simultaneously. The multiplex real-time PCR were evalidated by detection for the three genes in 47 toxigenic V. cholerae O1 and O139 strains (ctxA+; O1=3, O139=44), 25 non-toxigenic V. cholerae strains (ctxA-; O1=12, O139=6, non-O1 and non-O139=7), 116 V. parahaemolyticus strains with or without tdh (73 or 43) and 9 other bacteria strains. The specificity and sensitivity of the multiplex real-time PCR in detection for the ctxA and the tdh genes in the strains tested were both 100.0%, compared to the results by routine PCRs. In the detection for V. parahaemolyticus specific gyrB using the multiplex real-time PCR, all of 116 V. parahaemolyticus strains were positive, and 9 other strains and 72 V. cholerae strains were all negative. The multiplex real-time PCR is a sensitive, specific and quick assay not only for detecting virulence genes of V. cholerae and V. parahaemolyticus but also for identifying V. parahaemolyticus at species level. In addition, two real-time PCRs for detection of V. parahaemolyticus virulence genes trh1 and trh2 were also developed.

Objective: To evaluate the post-operative complication of pulmonary vein stenosis in patients with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) by echocardiography.
Methods: A total of 66 TAPVC pediatric patients with surgical repair in our hospital were retrospectively studied. The peri-operative and mid-term post-operative echocardiography was conducted to evaluate the complication of pulmonary vein stenosis.
Results: The peri-operative and mid-term post-operative echocardiography presented the increased left ventricular diastolic end diameter (LVEDd) and decreased right ventricular diameter in all 66 patients, P<0.05. There were 6 patients with pulmonary vein stenosis showed high velocity Doppler signals at atanastomosis. The peri-operative echocardiography in those 6 patients showed increased LVEDd, decreased right ventricular diameter and pulmonary artery pressure, all P<0.05. The mid-term post-operative echocardiography in those 6 patients indicated increased LVEDd, P<0.05, while the right ventricular diameter and pulmonary artery pressure were similar before and after the operation, P>0.05.
Conclusion: Echocardiography may monitor the operative effect of TAPVC, the occurrence of post-operative pulmonary vein stenosis could be found by examining right ventricular diameter and pulmonary artery pressure in pediatric patients.

Objective To explore the feasibility of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) evaluating Tourette syndrome, based on the theory of SEP evaluating sensory-motor cortical function. Methods 33 cases of Tourette syndrome in our hospital from March 2014 to April 2015 were as the experiment group and 30 healthy participants were as the normal control group. Both groups were evaluated with Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and SEP. Results There was no significant difference in N20 leak latency and leak-leak amplitude of SEP between 2 groups (P>0.05). The P22 leak latency prolonged (t=2.356, P<0.05) and the leak-leak amplitude decreased (t=2.507, P<0.05) in the experiment group compared with the normal control group. The YGTSS score was higher in the experiment group than in the normal control group (t=3.012, P<0.01). The P22 leak latency was positively (r=0.402, P<0.001), and the P22 leak-leak amplitude was negatively (r=-0.180, P<0.001) correlated with YGTSS score. Conclusion Children with Tourette syndrome are disordered in inhibiting sensory or mo-tor impulse through cortex-striatum-thalamus-cortex regulation circuit. SEP is considered as the objective indicator of patients with Tourette syndrome.

Objective To assess the diagnostic predictive value of Wells score and modified Geneva score for acute pulmonary embolism by prospective case series and to explore a more suitable scoring system for Chinese population.Methods All the patients suspected of pulmonary embolism (PE) and received CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) were enrolled consecutively in Fuxing Hospital,Capital Medical University,China,from June 2009 to August 2011.Before CTPA test or on condition that test results were unknown,clinical scoring was assessed prospectively by the Wells score and the modified Geneva score.The probability of PE in each patient was assessed and the patients were divided into low,moderate and high probability groups according to the clinical scores.The result of CTPA was used as the diagnostic gold standard for PE.Diagnostic accuracy in each group was analyzed.The predictive accuracy of both scores was compared by AUCROC curve.Results A total of 139 patients met our enrollment criteria and 117 eligible patients entered our study at last.PE was diagnosed in 47 patients by CTPA with an overall prevalence of 40.2％.Prevalence of PE in the low,moderate and high pretest probability groups assessed by the Wells score and by the simplified modified Geneva score were 7.1％ (3/42),42.9％ (21/49),88.5％ (23/26)and 10.0％ (3/30),48.1％ (37/77),7/10,respectively.AUCROC curves for the Wells score and the simplified modified Geneva score were 0.872 ( 95％ CI 0.810-0.933 ) and 0.734 ( 95％ CI 0.643-0.825 )respectively,with a significant difference ( P =0.005 ).Conclusion The Wells score is more accurate for clinical predicting acute PE than the modified Geneva score.
