Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch vs. gastric bypass for severe obesity

Conclusion In the year 2003 there is no “one best bariatric operation” for every severely obese patient. The choice of operation must be tailored to each individual patient’s needs and wishes. For the superobese patient, the patient diagnosed with intestinal metaplasia of the stomach, and for those patients who do not wish to undergo the severe dietary restrictions imposed by the RNY-GB, the BPD-DS is a valuable surgical option.     

Difference spectrophotometric assay of nitrazepam in tablet formulations

A difference spectrophotometric procedure is described for the assay of nitrazepam in tablet formulations. The method is based on the measurement of absorbance at 282 nm of a solution of the tablet extract in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid (pH 1) relative to that of an equimolar solution in 0.1 M sodium hydroxide (pH 13). The method is precise and selective for nitrazepam in the presence of the tablet excipients and 2-amino-5-nitrobenzophenone, the principal hydrolysis product of nitrazepam. The absence of a constant isosbestic point in the difference spectrum of nitrazepam during hydrolysis in alkaline solution indicates the presence of a previously unrecognized intermediate hydrolysis product.     

豚鼠内耳磁微粒栓塞缺血模型初探

OBJECTIVE: To set up an inner ear ischemic model in guinea pig with ferromagnetic embolism. METHODS: A magnet was fitted in the external auditory canal and carbonyl iron filings (1%, 1 ml/kg) was injected into jugular, then the inner ear vessels were obstructed by ferromagnetic spheres. Cochlear blood flow (CBF) and number of red blood cells in the stria vessels were used to detect the model's ischemia of cochleae. The slice of temple bone and basal membrane stained by silver nitrate were used for inner ear's histopathological observations. RESULTS: The iron spheres were amassed in the one and two-day-later's model of inner ear vessels, which resulted in embolism. The number of red blood cells in the stria vessels decreased and then recovered to normal level after 4 days, but the CBF decreased to 50% +/- 10% of basic level immediately and recovered to 99% +/- 41% 4 days later. Scattered lesion of out hair cell cilium could be seen in cochleae in eight-day-later's model, and degenerations in different degree were found in vascular stria. CONCLUSION: The methods of inner ear ischemic model with ferromagnetic embolism could be practical and the decrease of CBF was reversible, so it may be an ideal model for studying some ischemic inner ear diseases and evaluating the effects of therapeutic drugs.     

~3H-α-第二丁基对羟基苄醇在家兔体内的药物动力学研究

本文报道给家兔注入不同剂量的~3H-α-第二丁基对羟基苄醇,观察该药在其体内的药物动力学。结果表明,血中分布相快,消除相慢,消除半衰期T_1/1β为12h。经F值检验和理论计算值与实测值的契合程度比较,表明该药在兔体内的运转符合二室开放模型的动力学方程。
