Particle release in extracorporeal low-density lipoprotein lowering therapies

Release of microparticles into the blood during extracorporeal circulation must be kept low because of possibly serious acute and chronic adverse effects. Concentration and size distribution of microparticles were measured during simulated treatments (n = 7) on original equipment for 2 standard low-density lipoprotein (LDL) elimination procedures (DALI 750, Fresenius AG, St. Wendel, Germany and Liposorber, Kaneka Corporation, Osaka, Japan) and compared to hemofiltration solutions. For both systems as well as in hemofiltration solutions, the mean particle concentrations in 500 ml portions gathered from the efferent blood line stayed below 10% of pharmacopoeia standards for infusion solutions (United States Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia) in all measured size classes. Although particle concentrations were comparable in all systems, the mean total number of particles > or =2 microm released per session was lowest in the DALI (167,000) compared to the Liposorber (465,000) and hemofiltration solutions (2,240,000). This was mainly due to different total processed blood volumes necessary to achieve the required LDL reduction.     

Associations of alcohol, height, and reproductive factors with serum hormone concentrations in postmenopausal Japanese women

We measured serum levels of estradiol (E₂), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), progesterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) in 61 postmenopausal women drawn from female residents in a community in Japan to evaluate the relationships between these hormone levels and potential breast cancer risk factors. The information on reproductive history, body size, alcohol use, and physical activity was obtained by means of a self-administered questionnaire. There was a significant trend in increasing E₂ level with increasing height after taking account of age and body mass index (BMI) (p for trend = 0.04). BMI was inversely associated with SHBG level after controlling for age (p for trend = 0.01). Decreasing progesterone with increasing BMI was observed after controlling age and history of hysterectomy (P=0.05). Alcohol consumption was positively associated with E₂ level and there was a strong linear trend after controlling for age, height, and BMI (p for trend=0.001). Trend for increasing DHEAS with alcohol consumption was also statistically significant after controlling for age and history of hysterectomy (p for trend=0.01). Reproductive factors as well as physical activity were not related to any of the hormone levels.

搀硫酸镁穿山甲洗涤后不能作正品入药

目的 研究搀硫酸铁穿山甲洗涤后是否能作穿山甲入药。方法 各种方法洗涤后,用聚酰胺薄层色谱法、EDTA滴定法、酸不溶性灰分测定和定氟法对搀假物进行定性定量分析。结果 定性分析显示洗涤后的穿山甲中化学成分已发生变化，总灰分超出正常穿山甲的11倍，定量分析显示洗涤后的搀假穿山甲中仍存在硫酸铁，蛋白质含量有所减少。结论 搀硫酸铁穿山甲经洗涤后,仍不能作为正品入药。
