Pharmacists analyzed and intervened the therapeutic regimen, performed pharma-ceutical care and provided pharmacy education. Results:The suggestions of treatment and care proposed by clinical pharmacists were a-dopted by clinics. The pharmaceutical care performed by clinical pharmacists could contribute to the disease control and the reduction of the incidence of adverse reactions. Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists can use their pharmaceutical knowledge to provide individual-ized pharmaceutical care and play an important role in improving the safety and efficacy of medication.

AIM:To probe into the toxicological mechanism of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and its derivatives on cardiovascular system.METHODS: Effects of tea polyphenols (TP) on the increase in sodium current (INa) induced by SO2 derivatives in the cardiomyocytes were studied using the whole cell patch-clamp technique.RESULTS: ① The increase in INa induced by SO2 derivatives was inhibited by treating the cells with TP at different concentrations (10, 20 or 50 mg/L) in a dose dependent manner. At concentration of 50 mg/L, TP completely inhibited the increase in INa by SO2 derivatives. ② SO2 derivatives led to shift left of the activation curve. After application of TP at dose of 50 mg/L, the curve showed resumed significantly. ③ TP changed the inactivation process significantly. Before and after the application of SO2 derivatives, the half-inactivation voltage of INa was -(71.94?0.23) mV and -(65.79?0.69) mV (n=8, P0.05).CONCLUSION: TP inhibits the incremental effects of SO2 derivatives on INa, suggesting that the toxicity of SO2 on cardiomyocytes of rat is induced by free radical.

[Objective]To study the therapeutic effect of recombinant erythropoietin for contusion injury of spinal cord.[Method]Contusion injury of spinal cord was caused by weight dropping in 24 New Zealand rabbits.Twelve hours after injury,the rabbits in control group were given natural saline intravenously and rabbits in low,mediate and large-dose group were given rh-EPO 100 IU/kg,500 IU/kg and 1000 IU/kg respectively.Neurological status of lower limbs were scored at 24 hours,48 hours and one week after spinal cord injury.All rabbits were killed one week after injury and spinal cords were stained by HE and caspase-3 method.Electronic microscopy was used to evaluate ultrastructural injury.[Result]The neurological scores of EPO treated groups were significantly higher than that of control group.HE and Caspase-3 immunohistochemistry showed that histological and ultrastructural damage of EPO treated groups were less severe than that of control group.The caspase-3 positive neurons were significantly fewer than that of saline treated group.There was no significant difference of therapeutic effect between mediate and large-dose EPO treated groups.[Conclusion]Rh-EPO administered 12 hours after contusion injury of spinal cord could lessen histological and ultrastructural damage,prevent apoptosis of neurons and promote neurological recovery of spinal cord.Mediate dose of rh-EPO is the appropriate treatment choice for spinal cord injury.

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy of Compound Leonurus japonicus oral solution in the treatment of hemorrhage after artificial abortion and its effect and safety on normal menstruation recovery. METHODS:100 cases of artificial abortion selected and randomly divided into treatment group and control group,with 50 cases in each group. Control group re-ceived oxytocin intramuscularly after surgery,10 U/time,12 h/time,for 3 times;treatment group was additionally given Com-pound L. japonicus oral solution,2 piece/time,3 times/d,for 5 days,on the basis of control group. Metrorrhagia duration,hemor-rhage amount,normal menstruation recovery and duration of abdominal pain and ADR were all observed in 2 groups.

Objective To study the effects of carboxymethylated chitosan (CMCS) to nitric oxide (NO)-induced apoptosis on rat chondrocytes,and explore p38MAPK signal transduction pathway in the process and its mechanism.Methods The rat articular cartilage cells were cultured in vitro,collagen type-2 (collagen-2) immunohistochemical staining was used to identify the cartilage cells.The model of chondrocyte apoptosis was built by different concentrations of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) induction.The cells were divided into the control group,the SNP treated group SNP+CMCS treated group,and the SNP+p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 treated group.The apoptotic rate of chondrocytes was calculated by FCM,apoptotic nuclei was identified by Hoechst33342 stain,the mitochondrial membrane potential changes was detected by Rhodamine123 (Rho123) stain,the expression of p38 and p-p38 were detected by Western blotting analysis.Results 1-3 mmol/L SNP could induce chondrocyte apoptosis,the apoptotic rate was increased with the SNP increasing,the most obvious apoptosis was occurred in 3 mmol/L SNP treated chondrocytes,which was 69.8％ (P＜0.05).SNP could increase the nuclear fragmentation of chondrocytes,the cells with nuclear fragmentation was significantly higher than that in the control group.SNP could reduce mitochondrial membrane potential in chondrocytes,which decreased significantly compared with the control group.SNP could increase the p-p38 expression in chondrocytes,which was 4.3 times compared to the control group.CMCS of different concentrations could reduce the apoptotic rate of SNP-induced chondrocytes,which was 51.0％,29.9％ and 15.2％,which was decreased significantly (P＜0.05) when compared with 3 mmol/L SNP induced group,CMCS decreased the cells number of SNP-induced nuclear fragmentation.CMCS increased the mitochondrial membrane potential in SNP-induced chondrocytes.CMCS reduced the expression levels of p-p38 in SNP-induced chondrocytes.Conclusion CMCS has protective effect on SNP-induced apoptosis of chondrocytes.This process is completed by inhibiting the activity of p38 MAPK signal pathway.

Objective:To investigate the reversing effect of recombinant mutant human tumor necrosis factor (rmh-TNF) on cisplatin(DDP)-resistant human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3/DDP in vitro and the related mechanism. Methods: DDP-resistant human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3/DDP was cultured in vitro. The cytotoxic effect of rmh-TNF to SKOV3/DDP cells was examined by MTT assay and the nontoxic dose of rmh-TNF was identified. The changes of DDP resistance was observed after cells were treated with nontoxic dose of rmh-TNF by MTT assay. The expre-ssion of GST-? protein was examined by flow cytometry at different periods after rmh-TNF intervention; RT-PCR was used to analyze the expression of MDR1gene in SKOV3/DDP cells before and after rmh-TNF treatment. Results:(1)rmh-TNF at 50-122.34 U/ml showed no evident inhibitory effect on the growth of SKOV3/DDP cells (the cell survival rate higher than 90%); and 100 U/ml was chosen for the reversing experiment ( nontoxic dose).(2)IC50 values of SKOV3/DDP cells were (23.29?0.43), (8.97?0.69) and (6.43?0.79) ?g/ml after treatment with DDP for 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively; and the values decreased to (19.50?0.50),(4.34?0.43) and (2.44?0.02)?g/ml after combined treatment with 100 U/ml rmh-TNF, respectively.(3)Expression of GST-? protein and MDR1gene decreased with the prolongation of rmh-TNF treatment. Conclusion: rmh-TNF has reversal effect on the DDP-resistant cell line SKOV3/DDP, and the mechanism may be associated with the down-regulation of GST-? protein and MDR1gene expression.
