Preparation of Carboxybetaine-based Hydrophilic Interaction Chromatographic Column and Its Performance Exploration / 分析化学

2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and sodium monochloroacetate were employed to synthesize [2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl] dimethyl ammonium acetate (CBMA) functional monomer.CBMA was grafted on the surface of silica by surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) to obtain silica-CBMA hydrophilic interaction stationary phase.Three silica-CBMA stationary phases with different grafted density of CBMA monomer were synthesized in SI-ATRP progress by changing the concentration of CBMA under the same conditions.The ability to separate organic acid compounds of the synthesized silica-CBMA stationary phases was evaluated under different conditions, including effects of pH value, salt concentration and content of water of mobile phase on retention of solutes.The results showed that the stationary phases could effectively separate organic acid compounds in HILIC mode, which followed a mixed mode of chromatography of ion exchange and hydrophilic interaction.The retention of solutes decreased with the increases of salt concentration of mobile phase, which consistent with the characteristics of ion exchange;the pH value of mobile phase had significant influence on ionization of the stationary phase and solutes, i.e., the retention of solutes increased as the increasing of pH value of mobile phase.However, the retention of solutes decreased with the increasing of the content of water in mobile phase, which was the typical characteristic of HILIC.The method of hydrophilic interaction chromatography combined with silica-CBMA stationary phases could conveniently determinate the content of vitamin C and rutin in rutin tablets, providing a new method for the separation and determination of strong polar samples.

Clinical application of homogenizing fat transplatation / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To discuss the clinical application of different particle size of grain fat sieved by the homogenizing fat extractor.Methods A lot of 68 patients in this group were women,and the average age was 28 years.With the aid of tumescent technique,anterior and lateral thigh fat granules were extracted using liposuction needle;after the homogenizing fat extractor and sieve purification,fat particles were obtained with uniform particle size and no fibrous tissue for different sizes of 2.00 mm,0.90 mm,0.50 mm and 0.28 mm,respectively.After choosing corresponding diameter of fat transplantation needle and appropriate injection level according to fat particle size,the multiple spot and multiple track tunnels,multi-level injection for the facial soft tissue deficiency or cavity were then carried out.With long-term postoperative follow-up,evaluation of different grades were given for the complication,fat survival rate and satisfaction.Results The results were followed up for 3-12 months postoperatively;as responding,the facial appearance of graft field deformity or deficiency was significantly improved and the skin of the recipient area was soft;wrinkles was relieved,and so that they appeared young plump well-pleasing appearance.And there were no complications,such as infection,hematoma,fat liquefaction,pigmentation,induration and so on.Satisfactory results were obtained.Conclusions The treatment of facial soft tissue deficiency or deficiency,by choosing corresponding diameter of fat transplantation needle and appropriate injection level according to the differences of fat particle size sieved by the homogenizing fat extractor,can acheive a high fat survival rate,and stable long-term effect.Thus,this safe and ideal method for rejuvenation of facial treatment is worth promoting.

The role of tumor microenvironment in lymphangiogenesis / 中国肿瘤临床

Lymph node metastasis of malignant tumor is a complex pathological process closely related to tumor lymphangiogenesis. With tumor growth, some growth factors of lymphatic vessels are secreted and new lymphatic vessels are formed around or inside the tumor. Then, the tumor cells invade the lymphatic vessels, follow the lymph flow into every lymph node station, and gradually form the lymph node metastasis. Normal cells are in a relatively stable internal environment. Cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis, as well as secretion and expression of related factors, occur in accordance with the normal process. However, the balance is broken with tumor growth and progression. A gradual formation of a suitable external environment for the tumor growth, namely, the tumor microenvironment, occurs. And the pathological and physiological characteristics of tumor microenvironment, which contains numerous lymphangiogenic growth factors and inflammatory conditions, hypoxia, acidic microenvironment, and high interstitial fluid pressure, promote tumor lymphangiogenesis and formation of tumor lymph node metastasis.
