title: [High performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) determination of PAF in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH)].
abstract: The Platelet Activating Factor (PAF) is believed to be the major function in human after cerebral vascular spasm and cerebral ischemia. PAF has been found to participate in cerebral vascular spasm and cerebral ischemia by the basic and clinical study. The symptom of cerebral vascular spasm and cerebral ischemia has appeared with SAH. It has not been reported that the rule and change of PAF with SAH. In the present work, the concentration of PAF in human cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) with SAH were determined by high performance layer thin chromatography. The TLC plate was coated with high performance silica gel G using V(chloroform):V(methanol):V(water) = 65:35:6 as developing solvent. The PAF was determined by TLC scanning method and detected at 630 nm. The method was applied to determine the concentration of PAF in 16 CSF samples with SAH. The samples were collected in 1-3 d, 7-10 d and 14-21 d. CSF samples were deproteinized with methanol and chloroform. After centrifugation, the chloroform layer separated was dried at room temperature with nitrogen and stored under 20 degrees C in the refrigerator. The linear range of the method was 0.5-2.5 micrograms/L with regression coefficient of 0.9990. The lower limit of detection were 50 ng/L. The recovery of the method was 98.6%. The method enables a simple, rapid and reproducible quantification of PAF with SAH.
