Hematochezia in a Child With Heiner Syndrome.

Heiner syndrome (HS) is a food hypersensitivity disease that is mostly caused by cow's milk. The main features may include chronic or recurrent respiratory syndromes, pulmonary infiltrates on radiography, and even pulmonary hemosiderosis. However, gastrointestinal symptoms are rare in HS, which can lead to a misdiagnosis when the chief complaint is about the gastrointestinal system. Here, we report a case of HS complicated by severe hematochezia.

[Studies on quality control methods of nuxvomica].

Two quality control methods of nuxvomica were established for mutual. By selecting the appropriate measuring wavelength or wavelength range, the contents of strychnine and brucine in nuxvomica were determined without any preliminary separation by a new rapid spectrophotometry and a multi-wavelength linear regression spectrophotometry and with a computer program. The linear range of strychnine measured was 8.0-30.0 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.999 9); The linear range of brucine measured was 7.0-31.2 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.999 4). The average recoveries and relative standard deviations of strychnine and brucine were 98.18%-99.82%, 0.56%-1.54% and 100.5%-100.6%, 0.57%-0.62%, respectively. The methods are simple, rapid and reproducible, the interference of two components with each other may be eliminated and the methods are appropriate for quality control of nuxvomica.

[Ratio spectrophotometry and its application to assay of compound pharmacy preparations].

The present paper is to study ratio spectrophotometry for its application to the assay of compound pharmacy preparations. According to the feature of ratio spectra, the wavelength pair was selected at the peak point or valley point of ratio spectra to establish ratio spectrophotometry for the determination of Co-Chlorzoxazone tablet and injection of caffeine and sodium benzoate. The average recoveries and relative standard deviations for Chlorzoxazone and paracetamol were 100.0% and 1.28%, and 100.0% and 0.84%, respectively; the average recoveries and relative standard deviations for caffeine and sodium benzoate were 99.98% and 0.70%, and 99.91% and 0.78%, respectively. It is concluded that as long as the ratio spectra exhibit at least one peak and one valley, the results are satisfactory.
