OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for small interfering ribonucleic acid (SiRNA) R&D and registration in China. METHODS:The situation of SiRNA R&D at home and abroad were introduced,and problems encountered in the evaluation and approval process were summed up to put forward suggestions. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:SiRNA has developed slowly in Chi-na,with a gap of 5-10 years at least compared with foreign developed countries. The registration category of SiRNA is not clear;applicants lack of guidance documents;production workshop which meet requirement is in shortage;the efficiency of drug registra-tion allows of no optimism. It is recommended that pharmaceutical registration departments carry out the pilot reform for SiRNA registration,publish SiRNA registration guide,relax regulations for IND gradually,encourage applicants to participate in the inter-national multicenter clinical trials in order to improve the efficiency of SiRNA evaluation and approval efficiency.

Objective:To fast detect hypotensive drugs illegally added to the flower buds of Panax notoginseng. Methods:A laser Raman spectrometer was used to detect several chemical drugs added to the flower buds of Panax notoginseng, and the spectrum was qualitatively analyzed. Results:Raman spectroscopy could detect chemical antihypertensive drugs added to the flower buds of Panax notoginseng, and the test results were in accordance with those of the traditional method. Conclusion: Raman spectroscopy can be used for the determination of illegal additives in the flower buds of Panax notoginseng.

Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis (PIF) is a common complication of connective tissue disease (CTD). The patients with PIF usually manifest with intensive dry cough, progressive dyspnea aggravated by activities, and even weight loss and very fatigued. In this paper, we have applied the traditional methods of "invigorating qi for ascending" and "strengthening earth to generate metal" with modif ied Shenxian decoction for treating CTD combined with PIF to support healthy energy, ascend thoracic qi, and ascend both qi of lung and spleen. We have observed Shenxian decoction could enhance body immune system, benefit the repair of damaged lung tissues, improve microcirculations, and treat both branch and root of body, which has been giving patients prominent effects.

Diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes. It also is a world's major causes of blind eye diseases. Although the injection of anti - vascular endothelial growth factor intraocular drug is becoming a hotspot of current research. Pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) remains the effective and economical treatment for DR. As a destructive treatment, PRP will inevitably cause some changes on the normal morphology and function of the retinal and cornea. Currently, with the development of the optical coherence tomography, confocal microscopy and other auxiliary examination, we have more accurate and objective research to better understand the laser-neural tissue interaction. This may help us to protect the patient's visual function more efficiently.

The incidence rate of erectile dysfunction (ED) is reportedly as high as 30-90% after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, which seriously affects the patients' quality of life. Penile rehabilitation is defined as the use of any drug or device at or after radical prostatectomy to maximize erectile function recovery. A variety of treatment options are available for post-prostatectomy ED patients, including oral phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5I) , intracorporal injections, vacuum erection device, and penile prosthesis. This article presents an overview of the currently used methods for the drug treatment and penile rehabilitation of the ED patients after radical prostatectomy. It seems proper to recommend daily use of a vacuum erection device plus oral PDE5I in the early postoperative period. For those who fail to respond to this therapy, intraurethral alprostadil, intracorporal injections, or a penile prosthesis could be considered.

[Objective]To improve the diagnosis and treatment of acute fatal pulmonary thromboembolism(PTE)in orthopedic perioperation.[Method]Clinical manifestations,radiological features,laboratory examination data,treatment and prognosis of 12 patients diagnosed as acute fatal PTE in orthopedic perioperation from February,2002 to July,2005 were retrospectively analyzed.[Result]Nine patients received emergent thrombolytic and anticoagulant therapy,7 were alleviated and 2 died;3 patients with sudden cardiac arrest died after failed cardiopulmonary resuscitation.[Conclusion]Acute fatal PTE is a severe disease of orthopaedics.The realization and alert of the existence of acute fatal PTE must be increased.Early diagnosis and efficient treatment is the key to preventing from death.

Objective To investigate the influence of focal ischemic preconditioning on the expression of heat shock protein 70(HSP70) and ischemic tolerance Methods 42 SD rats were divided into 3 groups in which control group received sham operation only, and the other two groups received 2 hours of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) followed by 22 hours of reperfusion with or without 10 minutes of ischemic preconditioning 3 days before Infarct volume and HSP70 immunoreactivity were evaluated in each group Results Compared with the sham operated group, there was a smaller infarct volume( P
