ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of propofol and operative trauma on the neurodevelopment and cognitive function of the developing brain and its mechanism.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 104 postnatal day 13 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (treated by 7.5 mL/kg saline and sham surgery), propofol group (treated by 75 mg/kg propofol), surgery group (with abdominal surgery under local anesthesia) and propofol+surgery group (with abdominal surgery under local anesthesia plus 75 mg/kg propofol anesthesia). Thirteen rats from each group were randomly selected for detecting the content of TNF-α in the hippocampus and the expression levels of caspase-3 and c-fos in the brain. Morris Water Maze test was used to detect the cognitive ability of the other rats at 60 days old, after which TNF-α content in the hippocampus and caspase-3 and c-fos expressions in the brain were detected.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In 13 day-old rats, TNF-α level and caspase-3 and c-fos expressions differed significantly between the surgery group and the other 3 groups (P<0.05) and were similar among the control group, propofol group and propofol+surgery group (P>0.05). In 60-day-old rats, Morris water maze test results, TNF-α level or expressions of caspase-3 and c-fos showed no significant differences among the 4 groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Abdominal surgery can induce inflammation in the hippocampus and neuroapoptosis in neonatal rats rather than adult rats. Single-dose propofol anesthesia does not significantly affect neurodevelopment of young rats, and can relieve central inflammatory reaction induced by surgical trauma.</p>

ABSTRACT

A pre-column derivatization method combined with UHPLC-MS/MS was developed for the simultaneous determination of salidroside and tyrosol in Beagle dog plasma. After protein precipitation by acetonitrile, the liquid supernatant was treated with dansyl chloride under dark conditions at 60 ℃ for 30 min, and then, the sample solution was extracted using methyl tertiary butyl ether. The multiple reaction monitoring in positive ion mode was used for MS detection of the tested analytes with the specific ion transitions of m/z 534.2→372.0 for salidroside derivative, m/z 372.0→171.0 for tyrosol derivative and m/z 506.0→171.0 for arbutin derivative. The chromatograph separation was achieved on an ACQUITY UPLC® BEH C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 µm) with a gradient mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid)-water (10% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid) for 9 min. The assay showed a good linearity over the range of 0.02/0.1 − 20/10 µmol·L−1 with a lower limit of quantitation of 0.02 and 0.1 µmol·L−1 for salidroside and tyrosol in dog plasma, respectively. The intra- and inter-day precisions were all less than 8.68%, and the accuracy was within ±11.4%. The established method with a high sensitivity, good specificity and reliability was appropriate for simultaneous determination of salidroside and tyrosol in dog plasma and successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study after intragastric administration of salidroside to Beagle dogs.

ABSTRACT

A rapid, sensitive and simple liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of clevidipine butyrate and its primary metabolite clevidipine acid in dog blood. After one-step protein precipitation with methanol, the chromatographic separation was carried out on an Ecosil C18 column (150 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 µm) with a gradient mobile phase consisting of methanol and 5 mmol · L(-1) ammonium formate. A chromatographic total run time of 13.0 min was achieved. The quantitation analysis was performed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) at the specific ion transitions of m/z 454.1 [M-H]- --> m/z 234.1 for clevidipine butyrate, m/z 354.0 [M-H]- --> m/z 208.0 for clevidipine acid and m/z 256.1 [M-H]- --> m/z 227.1 for elofesalamide (internal standard, IS) in the negative ion mode with electrospray ionization (ESI) source. The linear calibration curves for clevidipine butyrate and clevidipine acid were obtained in the concentration ranges of 0.5-100 ng · mL and 1-200 ng · mL(-1), separately. The lower limit of quantification of clevidipine butyrate and clevidipine acid were 0.5 ng · mL(-1) and 1 ng · mL(-1). The intra and inter-assay precisions were all below 12.9%, the accuracies were all in standard ranges. Stability testing indicated that clevidipine butyrate and clevidipine acid in dog blood with the addition of denaturant methanol was stable under various processing and/or handling conditions. The validated method has been successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of clevidipine butyrate injection to 8 healthy Beagle dogs following intravenous infusion at a flow rate of 5 mg · h(-1) for 0.5 h.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the diagnosis and treatment strategy of multiple intracranial aneurysms (MIA).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We retrospectively analyzed 96 patients with MIA (234 aneurysms). The rupture site was determined on the basis of computed tomographic and angiographic findings, and the supposed ruptured aneurysm was treated with coiling OR clipping. All the patients' records were reviewed including all computed tomographic scans and angiograms.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Twelve patients received conservative treatment, 56 patients were treated by endovascular embolization, and 28 patients received clipping; 44 patients received one-stage treatment, and 4 patients needed a second therapy. In 36 patients, only the ruptured aneurysm was eliminated. The clinical outcomes of these 84 patients evaluated by Glasgow Outcome Scale grades were: absence of deficits in 62 patients, minor deficits in 12 patients, major deficit in 8 patients; death occurred in 2 cases. Thirty patients were available for a 6-month follow-up with DSA, which revealed stable occlusion of the aneurysms in 29 patients and the need of a retreatment due to recanalization in only one patient.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Correct localization of the rupture aneurysm based on a comprehensive diagnosis is key to MIA treatment. All the aneurysms should be treated in one session whenever possible to protect the patient from rebleeding.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To purify a low-temperature hydroxylamine oxidase (HAO) from a heterotrophic nitrifying bacterium Acinetobacter sp. Y16 and investigate the enzyme property.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A HAO was purified by an anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography from strain Y16. The purity and molecular mass were determined by RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE. The HAO activity was detected by monitoring the reduction of potassium ferricyanide using hydroxylamine as substrate and ferricyanide as electron acceptor. The partial amino acid sequence was determined by mass spectrometry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The low-temperature HAO with a molecular mass of 61 kDa was purified from strain Y16 by an anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. The enzyme exhibited an ability to oxidize hydroxylamine in wide temperature range (4-40 °C) in vitro using hydroxylamine as substrate and ferricyanide as electron acceptor. It was stable in the temperature range of 4 to 15 °C and pH range of 6.0 to 8.5 with less than 30% change in its activity. The optimal temperature and pH were 15 °C and 7.5, respectively. Three peptides were determined by mass spectrometry which were shown to be not identical to other reported HAOs.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>This is the first study to purify a low-temperature HAO from a heterotrophic nitrifier Acinetobacter sp. It differs from other reported HAOs in molecular mass and enzyme properties. The findings of the present study have suggested that the strain Y16 passes through a hydroxylamine-oxidizing process catalyzed by a low-temperature HAO for ammonium removal.</p>

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of Shenmai Injection (SMI), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on pharmacokinetics and serum concentration of digoxin when applied together with digoxin. METHODS: Twenty dogs with heart failure were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group and low-, medium- and high-dose SMI groups, with 5 dogs in each group. After intravenous injection of digoxin injection at a dose of 7.41 µg/kg, dogs in the control group were administered intravenously with normal saline 20 mL daily for 5 d, and the other groups were intravenously administered with SMI at the doses of 0.517, 1.034 and 1.551 mL/kg respectively. After the administration, the blood was collected at designed time points. Serum concentration of digoxin was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). RESULTS: The low-, medium- and high-dose SMI showed different effects on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin: the low-, medium- and high-dose SMI revealed a tendency to decrease the elimination half-life (T(1/2ß)) of digoxin. The low-dose SMI showed a tendency to decrease the digoxin concentration. Serum clearance (CL) in the low-dose SMI group was higher than that in the control, and also significantly higher than those in the medium- and high-dose SMI groups (P<0.05). The area under concentration-time curve (AUC(0→∞)) in the low-dose SMI group was lower than that in the control group (P=0.05); the AUC(0→72 h) and AUC(0→∞) in the low-dose SMI group were significantly lower than those in the medium- and high-dose SMI groups. Low-dose SMI accelerated the clearance of digoxin in blood. CONCLUSION: Low-, medium- and high-dose SMI shows different effects on pharmacokinetics of digoxin and reveals a tendency to shorten T(1/2ß) of digoxin. Low-dose SMI can accelerate the clearance of digoxin in blood.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>High noise levels (>70 dB) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are common in some primary hospitals. This study aimed to investigate the noise in the NICU on auditory system and intelligence development in premature infants.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>One hundred premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome who needed mechanical ventilation therapy were randomly divided into observation and control groups according to the use of earmuffs. The duration of mechanical ventilation therapy lasted for 2 to 15 days in the two groups. After weaning from mechanical ventilator, the auditory brainstem response, cranial B-ultrasonography, and the intelligence development assessment were performed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The percentage of total (23% vs 47%) and mild hearing loss (15% vs 35%) in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p<0.05) 2 to 3 days after weaning from mechanical ventilator. The incidence of periventricular hemorrhage intraventricular hemorrhage (PVH-IVH) or periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (21% vs 42%; p<0.05). The intelligence development assessment performed in the first 6 and 12 months of life showed that the mental development index and the psychomotor development index in the observation group were much higher than those in the control group (p<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The noise in the NICU can result in mild hearing loss and retardation of intelligence development and increase the incidence of PVH-IVH and PVL in premature infants. The use of earmuff may reduce the adverse events.</p>

ABSTRACT

AIM: To study the tissue distribution and excretion of bromotetrandrine (W198) in rats. METHODS: The concentrations of W198 in biological samples were determined by an HPLC method with UV detection. RESULTS: After a single i.v. dose of 20 mg x kg(-1) W198 in rats, the parent drug concentrations in tissues were higher than those in blood at the same time. Parent drug was mainly distributed in lung, kidney, heart and liver, the peak levels were attained at 0.25 h and decreasing at 2 h after dosing in most tissues. After a single iv dose of 20 mg x kg(-1) W198 in rats, the excretion of the parent drug in urine, feces and bile amounted to 0. 150%, 2.1% and 0.063% of the dose, respectively. CONCLUSION: W198 was mostly distributed in lung. The parent drug excretion was less than 3% via urine, feces and bile.
