Objective To investigate the application of xingnaojing injections ( XNJI) in inpatients and further provide a reference for the rational drug use. Methods The retrospective investigation was carried out by reviewing 186 hospitalization records with XNJI from a certain hospital from January 2014 to June 2015. The usage, dosage, and indication of XNJI were analyzed. Results Unlabeled use of XNJI was found in the neurology department inpatients. 59. 7% inpatients were treated with overdosed XNJI, and 13. 4% were treated with a single drug dose of 40 mL. The inappropriate solvent selection accounted for 49. 5%. Compatibility of XNJI and western medicine injection accounted for 54. 8%. It was also found that XNJI was used together with potassium chloride in clinic (47. 8%). Conclusion There exist some irrational uses of XNJI in clinic, thus the use and management of traditional Chinese medicine injections should be standarized.

When seen from the practice and development of modern medicine,we are facing challenges from various ethical problems which arise from the progress of life support technique,industry and network technique and its application in medicine,life sciences and electronic sciences.Nowadays,the legislation of medical ethics and regulations have become a heated issue drawing the attention of doctors,pharmacists,laboratorians,nurses,medical information staff,religions personnel,philosophers,medical scientists,and lawyers.This thesis tries to analyses the main ethical problems in the use of medical information so as to justify potential eligible ethical norms in clinical practice,expecting to draw the attention of relevant staff and general public and the fulfillment of ethical norms in the medical practice.

Objective To develop a new type of medical ultrasound debridement instrument and the amplitude bar. Methods According to the specific requirements of the debridement instrument, the electronic design techniques were adopted to determine the sound intensity threshold, oscillation amplitude and near-filed distance. Results The amplitude bar could meet all kinds of technical requirements, and the titanium alloy raw materials made it corrosion-resistant and anti-fatigue. Conclusion The amplitude bar adapts well to the debridement instrument, and other medal materials also can be adopted according to different requirements.

The many difficult problems in the course of actual operation are introduced in more than 5 years with governmental centralized procurement of medical equipment. By aiming at specificity of medical equipment that is a relative specialized material and applying existing laws and regulations system, the more scientific and operational solutions are found.

The detection and classification of extracellular action potentials(i.e.spike) of various single neurons from extracellular recordings are crucial for extracting neuronal spike sequences and thereby for investigating the mechanisms of neural information processing in the central nervous system.In order to increase the correctness of spike detecting and sorting,a new analysis algorithm for processing multi-channel spike signals recorded from rat hippocampi with silicon microelectrode arrays is presented.Four recording contacts on the electrode array are arranged close enough to simultaneously record spikes emitted from same neurons.Firstly,the algorithm extracts all spikes in the four channel recordings by using a multi-channel threshold detection method.Secondly,the algorithm classifies the spikes based on a principle component analysis for a specifically designed type of compound spike waveforms.The compound spike waveform is formed by linking four spike waveforms of a same neuronal firing in the four recording channels one by one in series.The test results with both synthetic datasets and experimental recordings reveal that compared with corresponding traditional single-channel algorithm,the multi-channel algorithm can significantly enhance both the number of extracted spikes and the correctness of spike classifications.The algorithm can also increase the number of isolated neurons from a single experimental preparation.These results indicate that the novel method is efficient for the automatic detection and classification of neuronal spikes.

Objective:To observe the influences of sleep deprivation and antioxidant agent ?-lipoic acid on the expression of IRE1 in the cortex and hippocampus in rats.Methods:Rats were randomly divided into control groups and sleep deprivation group.The control groups included blank control group(n=10) and environmental control group(n=10).Sleep deprivation group included 120 rats,and rats were further divided into ?-lipoic acid group(25 mg?kg-1?d-1) and sleep deprivation model group.The two were further divided into 6 groups according to the periods of sleep deprivation and sleep restoration(SD 1 d,SD 3 d,SD 5 d,SD 7 d,SD 7 d/RS 6 h,SD 7 d/RS 12 h[n=10]).The expression of IRE1 mRNA and protein was examined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry,respectively.Results:RT-PCR results showed that the expression of IRE1 mRNA in the cortex and hippocampus were significantly higher in sleep deprivation group than in the blank and environmental control groups(P

Acromegaly is a rare clinical endocrine disorder related to systematic complications such as cardiovascular,respiratory and metabolic disorders which determine its prognosis.Hypertension is the main complication resulting in the increased frequency of morbidity.The mechanism of hypertension in acromegaly is still no real consensus.In this review,we examine the prevalence and danger of hypertension in acromegalic patients and discuss the clinical and experimental mechanisms on the cardiovascular system in order to define the possible pathogenetic factors involved in the development and/or maintenance of high arterial blood pressure in acromegaly.The modern object of acromegalic treatment is normalization of morbidity and the treatment of pituitary tumor involve surgery,medication and radiation.Besides,blood pressure control is also demanded.The lowering of blood pressure observed in a proportion of hypertensive acromegalics,and the normalization of serum GH and IGF-1 level is of great importance.

To investigate the contents and distribution of matrix metallproteinases(MMP) in abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA) on protein level, forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups, the rats of experimental group were perfused with pancreatic elastase in the isolated abdominal aorta to construct the model of AAA. Laparotomy was preformed on the 14th day after operation, the aortas were measured and harvested. The rats of control group were operated with the aortas harvested immediately. Immunohistochemical staining and computer image analysis were performed to analyze the contents and distribution of MMP 2 and MMP 9. The aortic diameter progressed to aneurysmal dimension in the experimental group. Immunohistochemistry study revealed that the MMP contents in AAA exceeded that in normal aorta obviously. The MMP 2 cotents in AAA tunica media were higher than MMP 9. It is suggested that MMP 2 plays the main role in extracellular matrix degradation of AAA tunica media.
