ABSTRACT
To analyze the predictive value of serum intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in maintaining hemodialysis (MHD) patients. A total of 224 MHD patients were prospectively investigated and followed up for 2 years. Serum iPTH levels were not associated with all-cause death and cardiovascular death ( HR=1.001, 95% CI 1.000-1.004, P=0.048) . The level of serum ALP was associated with cardiovascular death ( HR=1.002, 95% CI 1.000-1.004, P=0.033) . ALP≥106 IU/L was an independent risk factor for cardiovascular death in MHD patients ( P<0.05) . The joint variable was correlated with mortality in MHD patients ( HR=1.002, 95% CI 1.000~1.004, P=0.033) , that equal or over 37.28 was an independent risk factor for mortality ( P<0.05).
ABSTRACT
Objective To develop a HPLC-MS/MS method for comprehensive monitoring and control of the raw material feeding (honeysuchle flowers extract and baikal skullcap root extract) , and simultaneous determination of chlorogenic acid and baicalin in Yinhuang capsules. Methods The separation was performed on an Inertsil ODS-3 (2.1 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm) analytical column with the mobile phase consisting of methanol- 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate solution by gradient elution program, and the column temperature was 40 ℃. Active ingredients were separated by HPLC, and the Electrospray Ionization Mass (API) source was applied and operated in the negative ion mode, and reactions ion monitoring mode (MRM) for quantitative analysis were selected. Results The samples and the mixed Extract have the same characteristic peak in MS and MS/MS. According to the prescription feeding process, the proprietary Chinese medicine wasdetermined. The results showed that the palladium residue of 6 batches samples were up to the standard by HPLC/MS/MS chromatographic peak areas. The calibration cruve of chlorogenic acid and baicalin were linear: 0.60-4.80 μg/ml (r = 0.9989),2.87-14.40 μg/ml (r = 0.9986), with the relative standard deviation of repeatability by 0.69% and 0.69% respectively, and the mean recovery rate were 95%-102%, 95%-103%, respectively. Conclusions The method was proven to be simple, accurate, reliable, high sensitive and can be used for determination and control of the raw material feeding (honeysuchle flowers extract and baikal skullcap root extract) and quality in Yinhuang capsules.
ABSTRACT
A reliable UPLC-MS method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 4 chemicals (Sudan Ⅰ, tetrabromobisphenol A, tris ( 1, 3-dichloroisopropyl ) phosphate and tris ( chlorisopropyl ) Phosphate) in children products. The samples were ultrasonic extracted with acetonitrile, and then the four chemicals were separated on a C18 column in 3 min. Results showed that the limit of quantification of the method was between 5 and 500μg/kg. The calibration curves were linear within 2-3 orders of magnitude with typical correlation coefficient above 0 . 9995 . The recoveries ranged from 83 . 7% to 97 . 8% with three addition levels. The sensitivity, recovery and selectivity of the method could fully meet the requirements of practical work.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the differences and similarities of clinical characteristics,pathological features, treatment and prognosis between primary gastric lymphoma(PGL)and primary intestinal lymphoma (PIL). Methods The clinical characteristics, pathological features, therapeutic results, the detection of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and prognosis of 48 PGL cases and 15 PIL cases were retrospectively analyzed. Results There was no statistical significance in age, gender, abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, B symptoms, clinical stage, mortality between PGL and PIL groups (P>0. 05). However, there were significant differences in the pathological type, acute abdomen emergency surgery between these two groups (P<0. 05). There was 12 Hp positive cases in mucosalassociated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of PGL group (12/19), and 5 Hp positive cases in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (5/20). There was significant difference in Hp detection rate of these two pathological types. Hp was not found in PIL group. The Cox multivariate analysis indicated that stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ was the independent adverse factors affecting PGL prognosis (P<0. 05).Conclusions Mainly histological types are DLBCL and MALT lymphoma in PGL, and DLBCL in PIL.PIL predispose to T-cell lymphoma compared with PGL. MALT lymphoma is rare in PIL group. The mainly clinical stage is Ⅲ-Ⅳ both in PGL group and PIL group. Emergency surgery is often needed in PIL because of intussusception or perforation. The prognosis of PGL is correlated with the stage and the prognosis of PIL are correlated with the stage, B symptoms and T cell phenotype.
ABSTRACT
Aim To quantitatively analyze the lymphocyte proliferation using the time-series data of carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester(CFSE).Methods The model of immune suppression in mice was created by cyclophosphamide and CFSE dye was used for staining the lymphocyte of both control group and treatment group animals. The data were analyzed through mathematical model-fitting.Results The first generation of cell proliferation of the control group and treatment group were 27.17 h and 22.88 h; cell death rates in each division were respectively 20% and 40%; the half-life of cells before the proliferation was respectively 31.53 h and 43.32 h.Conclusions The mathematical fitting of CFSE data can quantitatively analyze the mechanism of the drugs attecting the proliferation of lymphocyte.In this experiment the mechanism of cyclophosphamide inhibiting lymphocyte proliferation may be due to the increase of cell death rate of each division caused by cyclophosphamide.
