ABSTRACT
Objective:Principal Investigator (PI) system is the most common model of scientific research organization and management in colleges and universities. PI is the head of the laboratory or the leader of the research team who has the authority to manage the supporting team, funds, and space (laboratory). We aim to explore the advantages and problems of the PI system implementation and deeply understand how to effectively and scientifically manage the project management, personnel coordination, and fund use of the entire team to promote the scientific research output of the PI platform of medical schools in China.Methods:By concluding and analyzing the management experience and main bottlenecks of PI laboratories at home and abroad, and summarizing our center's experience in assisting the management of PI laboratories in life sciences, we explored a new model of PI system development suitable for China.Results:Under PI system, the person in charge systematically learns to operate his or her laboratory scientifically. Perfection and improvement of the methodologies of team formation, laboratory public affairs management, and laboratory fund management can effectively avoid existing problems and follow the intrinsic laws of scientific research development and truth-seeking, promote the development in discipline development, interdisciplinary cooperation, personnel training, and study style construction.Conclusions:As the leader and manager of the scientific research team, PI is critical to the development of scientific research in universities in China. The incubation of a new scientific management model for the PI team is conducive to promoting the scientific and technological innovation of the PI team and the long-term development of scientific research institutions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a method for the determination of borneol, isoborneol, menthol in Bingshuang-Meisu pill.Methods The capillary column PEG-20M(30 m × 0.32 mm, 0.25μm) was used, naphthalene was adopted as internal standard substances, split injection(split ratio 10:1), temperature programme, the injector temperature was 240℃, the detector temperature was 250℃.Results The linear response range of menthol, borneol, isoborneol were 13.00-104.00μg/ml, 6.80-54.40μg/ml, 5.40-43.20μg/ml and the average recovery were 97.90%, 98.05% and 97.77%, RSD were 0.98%, 1.53% and 1.40% respectively. Conclusion The method was highly sensitive, accurate, and repeatable. It can be an important method to control the standard ofBingshuang-Meisu pill.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the specificity of Architect chemiluminescence immunoassay ( CLIA) for diagnosis of syphilis in the clinical screening test.Methods 65 774 syphilis specific antibody results in the Beijing Tongren Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.In this study, Architect CLIA for diagnosis of syphilis was used as a screening test for the pre-operative patients from August 2011 to July 2012.All the repeatedly reactive samples were tested by the tolulized red unheated serum test ( TRUST) and Treponema pallidum particle agglutination ( TPPA) assay.Samples with with discordant results were verified by western blot ( WB) Finally, all the results were statistically analyzed by software SPSS 17.0.Results Among 65 774 samples, 940 (1.43%) were found to be repeatedly reactive using the Architect CLIA.Of these sera, 330 ( 35.11%) were reactive and 610 ( 64.89%) were nonreactive by TRUST.Because a TRUST titer of 1:1was not always sufficient to confirm a TPPA reactive result, all the samples with CLIA reactive results were finally performed by TPPA assays.The results showed that 843 ( 89.68%) were positive and 97 (10.32%) were negative.After arbitrated by the WB, out of 97 TPPA negative sera, 18 (18.56%) were positive;7(7.22%) were indeterminate and 72(74.23%) were negative.Conclusions The specificity of Architect CLIA for diagnosis of syphilis was 99.89%.The results showed that confirmation by TPPA on sera with screening test for syphilis by Architect CLIA effectively decreased the false-positive results and could be suitable for a routine supplementary for syphilis.However, if necessary, the WB should be further utilized.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a method for the determination of evodiamine and rutaecarpine of compound wuzhuyu ointment.Methods HPLC method was used with Agilent HC-C18(250 mm× 4.6 mm,5 μm) column and the mobile phase being acetonitrile-0.08％ ocane sutfonic acid sodium(41:59).The flow rate was 0.8 ml/min,the column temperature was 30℃,and the UV detector was set at 225 nm.Results The linear ranges of evodiamine and rutaecarpine were 0.62～ 12.40 μg/ml (r=0.9997) and 0.24～4.8 0 μg/ml (r=0.9996),respectively.The average recovery of evodiamine and rutaecarpine was 97.9％ and 98.0％,respectively.Conclusion The method is simple,repeatable and accurate.It can be applied in quantitative determination of evodiamine and rutaecarpine in compound Wuzhuyu ointment.
