Objective To investigate the correlation between inflammatory cells, body temperature changes, and TCM syndromes of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) patients in acute and subacute phases. Methods The data of age, gender, body temperature, blood routine, venous ultrasonography, and four diagnostic information of 130 DVT patients in acute and subcute phases were collected and analyzed in a cross-sectional study. The correlation between inflammatory cells and the changes of body temperature and TCM syndromes were analyzed. Results Among 130 DVT patients, 37 patients had damp-heat syndrome, 64 patients had blood stasis and dampness syndrome, and 29 patients had qi stagnation syndrome. Neutrophils increased most obviously in blood stasis and dampness syndrome (P<0.05), which had close correlation with the skin redness (OR=1.287, 95%CI: 9.412-21.247). The mononuclear cells increased most obviously in the damp-heat syndrome, which has close correlation with nouhof (OR=7.364, 95%CI:1.189–45.603), high skin temperature (OR=6.683, 95%CI:1.791–24.938), skin tightness (OR=6.107, 95%CI:1.423–26.203) and weakness (OR=3.302, 95%CI: 1.002–9.169). The temperature rising was the most common in the damp-heat syndrome, and the increase of mononuclear cells was the most common one. Conclusion DVT is often accompanied with elevated levels of inflammatory cells and body temperature. Damp-heat syndrome has close correlation with body temperature and mononuclear cells increasing. Dampness and blood stasis syndrome and neutrophils are closely related.

Objective:
To study the clinicopathological characteristics of lung salivary gland-type tumors (SGT), and to compare with the corresponding primary SGT in salivary glands.
Methods:
Twenty-three cases of lung SGT were retrieved from the files of Peking University First Hospital from January 2004 to September 2018. The morphology, immunophenotype, genotype and outcome of these cases were analyzed.
Results:
The 23 patients included 13 males and 10 females, with age range of 13-79 years (median 54 years). There were 11 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma, 10 cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC), one case each of clear cell carcinoma and myoepithelioma. The morphology and immunophenotype of lung SGT were very similar to their counterparts in salivary gland. MYB rearrangement was detected in one of 11 adenoid cystic carcinomas. MAML2 rearrangement was detected in all the MECs. EWSR1 rearrangement was detected in the one case of clear cell carcinoma. Of patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma, the survival time was more than 60 months (three cases), 52 months (one case), and 12-36 months (three cases). There was no recurrence and death in seven cases of MEC with follow-up results. One case of clear cell carcinoma recurred after 52 months of follow-up.
Conclusions
Although the SGT of lung and their counterparts in salivary gland are very similar in their morphology, immunophenotype, genotype and prognosis, there are also some differences between each other. MYB rearrangement can be detected in most adenoid cystic carcinomas of salivary gland, but rarely in lung adenoid cystic carcinoma. The prognosis of patients with lung MEC is better than that of patients with salivary gland MEC, while the prognosis of patients with lung adenoid cystic carcinoma is worse than that of patients with salivary gland adenoid cystic carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:To improve the level of pharmaceutical care,enhance the professional value and social status of pharmacists by clarifying the development process of pharmaceutical care and summarizing the value of pharmacists in pharmaceutical care. METHODS:The development process of pharmaceutical care at home and abroad(service objects,service contents and service methods)was summarized;the current situation of pharmaceutical care in China was analyzed;the value of pharmaceutical care were defined in respects of rational drug use,humanistic value and medical resources. The development of pharmaceutical care in the future was prospected. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The development of pharmaceutical care can be divided into three stages:“drug supply as the center”“promoting rational drug use as the center”and“patients as the center”,and the service objects,service contents and service methods in different stages are expanding and diversifying. Compared with developed countries,the overall level of pharmaceutical care in China lags behind,and there are differences in level of pharmaceutical care modes in hospitals at different levels. Pharmacists ensure the safety,effectiveness and economy of drug use through pharmaceutical care,and promote rational drug use;the compliance,quality of life and satisfaction of patients have been improved through pharmaceutical care;pharmacists participate in medical quality management to save medical and health resources through pharmaceutical care. Pharmaceutical care,as an important part of the medical and health system,plays an important and irreplaceable role in the medical process,which is suggested that the relevant government departments should fully understand the value of pharmaceutical care and further strengthen their support for pharmaceutical care;pharmaceutical staff should improve their self-cultivation and cooperate with other disciplines to achieve the sustainable development of hospital pharmacy in different regions and medical institutions.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a commonly seen digestive system disease with unclear pathogenesis. The condition is complex and variable, often chronic, and has a long treatment period with no specific cure. Currently, the treatment of UC often involves the use of corticosteroids, aminosalicylates, and biologics in western medicine, which provide fast-acting and definite efficacy in the short term. However, with prolonged medication, some patients may develop drug resistance and worsening of the disease, leading to the occurrence of colon cancer. Research has found that oxidative stress is one of the important pathogenic factors in UC and influences its onset and development. Oxidative stress is a state of imbalance between oxidative products and the antioxidant system in the body, characterized by overexpression of oxidative products such as malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), nitric oxide (NO), or deficiency of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione (GSH). It is worth noting that traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), as a unique characteristic medicine of China, has achieved significant efficacy in the treatment of UC. Studies have shown that TCM effectively inhibits the occurrence of UC by suppressing the accumulation of metabolites and antagonizes the development of UC by enhancing the antioxidant system. Therefore, using TCM to regulate the oxidative balance as a diagnostic and therapeutic approach may be a new method and direction for the treatment of UC in the future. Based on the above research, this article summarized the mechanisms of key pathogenic proteins in oxidative stress and the occurrence and development of UC, and compiled the effective ingredients of Chinese medicine, single drugs, prescriptions, and acupuncture and moxibustion in regulating upstream and downstream target proteins of oxidative stress. These interventions can reduce pathological damage to the intestinal mucosa, lower the colon injury index, enrich the intestinal microbiota, increase colon length, and improve clinical symptoms of UC. The article is expected to expand the application of TCM in the treatment of UC and provide a reliable scientific theoretical basis.
