OBJECTIVE:To investigate influential factors of standardization of clinical research on therapeutic efficacy of Yao-tongning capsules,and to provide direction for reasonable and standard development of clinical research. METHODS:Retrieved from CJFD,VIP and Wanfang database,RCTs about Yaotongning capsules in the treatment of related disease were collected. After data extraction and quality evaluation,Meta-analysis was conducted by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software. The effects of the di-alectical situation,treatment course and route of administration on the evaluation of therapeutic efficacy of Yaotongning capsules were compared;based on this,the concepts of index evidence-based value which reflected clinical standardization were put for-ward,and its effects on Yaotongning capsules were investigated. RESULTS:A total of 71 RCTs were included,involving 11009 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed therapeutic efficacy of Yaotongning capsules was better than that of other drugs in dialecti-cal case(P=0.02),while therapeutic efficacy of Yaotongning capsules was inferior to that of other drugs in non-dialectical case(P<0.01);therapeutic efficacy of Yaotongning capsules was inferior to that of other drugs when treatment course was shorter than 30 days(P<0.05),while treatment course was longer than 30 days,there was no difference in therapeutic efficacy between Yaotongn-ing capsules and other drugs(P=0.99). When did not take medicine according to the instruction,therapeutic efficacy of Yaotongn-ing capsule was inferior to that of other drugs(P<0.05);when taking medicine according to the instruction,there was no differ-ence in therapeutic efficacy between Yaotongning capsules and other drugs(P=0.94). When evidence-based value was ≥5,thera-peutic efficacy of Yaotongning capsules was better than that of other drugs(P=0.03);when evidence-based value was equal to 4, there was no difference in therapeutic efficacy between Yaotongning capsules and other drugs(P=0.56);when evidence-based val-ue was ≤3,therapeutic efficacy of Yaotongning capsules was inferior to that of other drugs(P<0.05),with statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS:It is an important guarantee of playing therapeutic efficacy of Yaotongning capsules to regularly use drugs strictly according to the principle of dialectical treatment,and take drugs according to treatment course and instructions.

Objective To investgate the expression and the clinical significance of survivin in the primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods S-P immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect the expression of survivin in 50 samples of HCC tissue and 20 of normal liver tissue. Results The positive rate of survivin expression in HCC was 66. 0% (33/50) , which was significantly higher than that in normol liver tissues (negative expression) (P<0. 001). The expression of survivin was correlated with intrahepatic dissemination and multiple masses (P = 0. 019, P=0. 030). The high survivin expression was associated with the survival time less than three years(P = 0. 018). Conclusion The survivin may play certain roles in the oncogenesis and progression of HCC. Detection of the survivin can supply certain evidence on prognosis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the effects of baijin capsule on behavioral changes and monoamine neurotransmitters concentration in chronic unpredictable mild stress ( CUMS ) depression rat model.Methods The depression rat model was induced by11-week chronic unpredictable mild stress combining with solitary.After the model were established, rats were given the decoction of baijin capsule ( 12.6 g/kg, 4.2 g/kg, 1.4 g/kg ) or fluoxetine hydrochloride (3.5 mg/kg) by intragastricfor 4 weeks.During the experiment period, sucrose consumption and open-field experiment were conducted to monitor the behavior of rats, such as sucrose consumption percentage, horizontal motion, and vertical motion.At the end of the experiment, the levels of the monoamine neurotransmitters in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus were analyzed by method of high performance liquid chromatography-electrochemistry.Results Compared with the normal group, the weight, horizontal displacement distance, vertical movement times, and sucrose consumption percentage of rats in model group decreased significantly after stimulated with CUMS and solitary for 7 weeks (P<0.05,P<0.01).Compared with model group, consecutively administrated for 4 weeks, horizontal displacement distance, vertical movement times, and the percentage in sugar water consumption significantly increased with the treatment of baijin capsule (P<0.05, P<0.01).Meanwhile, the content of norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the cortex were significantly increased in rats of the baijin capsule ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusions The results indicated that baijin capsule improved the behavioral disturbances in depression rat model, which were related to enhancement of the concentration of monoamine neurotransmitters in the cortex.

ObjectiveTo assess the clinical features of noncompaction of ventricular myocardium (NVM) in children. Methods The clinical data from ifve children with NVM were analyzed, including clinical manifestations, ultrasonic cardio-gram(UCG), electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, the process of diagnosis and treatment, and follow up.Results In ifve patients (3 boys and 2 girls) aged 3 months to 12 years, four of them were hospitalized because of pneumonia with heart failure. None of the ifve patients had thromboembolism. Heart enlargement was observed in all ifve patients on chest X-ray. By 2D ultrasonography, 2 patients had cardiac apex involvement, and 3 patients showed involvement of left ventricular wall and interventricular septum. In one patient, congenital partial defect of the endocardial cushion was observed. All patients were followed up for 3 to 36 months. One patient died of heart failure, 3 patients survived, and one patient was lost to follow-up.Conclusions The common clinical manifestation of NVM is the heart failure. UCG is preferred for NVM diagnosis. In children with refractory pneumonia and heart failure, NVM should be suspected.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for coronary artery lesions (CALs) in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) in Lanzhou. Methods One hundred and seventy-four children with diagnosed KD were divided into CAL group and non-CAL group based on the existence of concurrent CALs. The age, gender, fever duration, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) start time, IVIG dose, C-reactive protein (CRP), serum albumin, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), platelet (PLT), red blood cell count (RBC), hemoglobin and so on were compared. Results Among the 174 children, 46 children (26.44%) were complicated by CALs and 128 children were not. The differences of average fever duration, IVIG starting time, IVIG dose, PLT, CRP, ESR and RBC were statistically signiifcant (P<0.05). Conclusions When KD children has the fever durations>10 d, start of IVIG af-ter 10 days of fever, increase of PLT, CRP and ESR and decrease of RBC, clinicians should be alert to the risk of concurrent CAL.

Objective To explore the changes of plasma brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)of sepsis combined with myocardial injury in newborns.Methods According to neonatal sepsis treatment program,45 cases of sepsis newborns in NICU of the Second Hospital in Lanzhou University from Jul.2007 to Jun.2008 were collected.According to the myocardial injury diagnostic criteria,45 cases neonatal sepsis were divided into myocardial injury group(n=22) and non-myocardial injury group(n=23).Myocardial injury group was also divided into congenital heart disease group and non-congenital heart disease group accor-ding to echocardiography.At the same time,30 healthy newborns were collected as healthy control group.Every newborns were tested the level of plasma BNP,NT-proBNP,creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB) and cardiac-troponin I (cTnI).Results There were significant difference between myocardial injury group,non-myocardial injury group and healthy control group in the levels of plasma BNP,NT-proBNP,CK-MB and cTnI,those in congenital heart disease group were higher than those in non-myocardial injury group and the healthy control group(Pa0.05).Conclusions BNP and NT-proBNP can be early used to diagnose myocardial injury and heart failure of neonatal sepsis associated with CK-MB and cTnI.In NICU,infants with sepsis should normally test BNP and NT-proBNP in order to early diagnose myocardial injury of neonatal sepsis.
