Objective:To analyze the pros and cons of the US strategic national stockpile ( SNS) from the per-spective of the supply chain and to put forward suitable recommendations for China’s national emergency medicine system. Methods:Literature review and a comprehensive analysis have been utilized to understand the SNS supply chain model and its differences from the Chinese model. Results:From the perspective of the supply chain, the Unit-ed State’s storage of emergency medicine consists of the forward placement of push packages, managed inventory and purchase contracts. The deployment of logistics for emergency medicine must gain approval from the federal government’s “local-state-nation” system, and be conducted at a different time. To transmit information, a large da-tabase, simulation software, and a technical advisory response unit have been established to manage information flow to distribute medicine accurately and promptly. Conclusion:Given the experiences of supply chain management in the US SNS system, it is critical for China to improve the supply chain system of emergency medicine, define the institu-tions and responsibilities within the supply chain, establish disaster relief reserve of emergency medicine and adopt fourth-party logistics for emergency medicine in order to make the China’s emergency preparedness more systemized, standardized, and information-based.

Objective Investigating the relationship between the incidence of Primary Acute Cerebral Infarction (PACI) and seasonal variation to employ measures to prevent PACI with climate change. Methods A retrospective analysis of patients diagnosed with PACI between 2009 and 2013 in the department of Neurology of Second hospital of Tian Jin Medi-cal University (n=1 198 patients) was carried out. Combined with the general clinical data, we analyzed seasonal, monthly and weekly variation among PACI incidents. Results The incidence of PACI increases over years between 2009 to 2013 (P ＜ 0.01). Significant difference of incidents of PACI was observed between each season (P=0.047). Incidence of PACI peaked in winter(30.33 ± 9.63/month), while bottomed in spring(21.83 ± 5.36/month). Significant difference of incidents of PACI was also observed between each months(P=0.010). The monthly incidence was highest in January and February (33.25 ± 9.62/month)and lowest in March and April(20.75 ± 4.89/month). The seasonal variation was only found in the pa-tients who are complicated with pulmonary infection (P＜0.01) regardless of the presence or absence of other risk factors, such as smoking, drinking ,hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes mellitus. The weekly variation of PACI was on-ly significant in patients younger than 65 years old(P=0.043). The peak incidence among a week was Monday(17.86%),and incidence bottomed on Friday (13.36%). Conclusion Our study revealed that the incidence of PACI increase over year be-tween 2009 to 2013 and it shew a characteristic variation with respect to season, month and week. Based on these results, we can formulate prevention measures accordingly.

Objective To discuss whether Saccharomyces boulardii sachets can improve the eradication rate and reduce some untoward effects of gastrointestinal tract when adding in the Helicobacter pylori (Hp) standard quadruple therapy.Methods 249 cases infected with Hp were randomly divided into control group(124 cases) and treatment group (125 cases).The control group was treated with standard quadruple therapy:colloidal bismuth pectin capsules,100 mg,tid,po;furazolidone tablets,0.1 g,bid,po;amoxil capsule,1 g,bid,po;rabeprazole sodium enteric-coated capsules,20 mg,qd,po.The treatment group was treated with Saccharomyces boulardii sachets(0.25 g,bid,po)besides.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks.Evaluate the effect of Hp eradication rate by using the method of intent of treatment (ITT) analysis and consistent scenario set (PP)analysis.Results According to the ITT analysis,the eradication rate of control group was 89.52%,and that of treatment group was 96.00%.According to the PP analysis,the eradication rate of control group was 90.00%,and the rate of treatment group was 97.39%.Both analysis results showed the eradication rate of Hp in treatment group was significantly higher than control group(P<0.05).As for reducing the untoward effects such as nausea,inappetence,diarrhea,astriction and erythra,control group was obviously lower than treatment group (P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with standard quadruple therapy only,adding Saccharomyces boulardii sachets can significantly improve the eradication rate of Hp and obviously reduce the untoward effects such as nausea,inappetence,diarrhea,astriction and erythra.It is worth to be generalized and applied in clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate 131I adjuvant therapy in B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E mutant patients with non-distant metastatic papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Methods:From January 2008 to January 2019, a total of 181 PTC patients (65 males, 116 females, age: (38.9±11.8) years) with non-distant metastases from Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. All patients received only one time 131I therapy with complete clinicopathological information, data of follow-up (median time: 63 months) and assessment of response to therapy. Patients were divided into mutant and wild type group in terms of BRAF V600E status or ablation group (1.1 GBq) and adjuvant therapy group (3.7-5.5 GBq) in terms of different 131I dosage. Clinicopathological features and the response to therapy were compared between different groups by using independent-sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test. Results:The levels of preablative stimulated thyroglobulin (ps-Tg) in the BRAF V600E mutant type group ( n=150) was significantly higher than that in the wild type group ( n=31; 6.32(0.90, 8.70) vs 3.92(0.40, 4.40) μg/L; z=-2.413, P=0.016), however, there were no significant differences in other clinicopathological characteristics (including age, sex, tumor size, multifocality, capsule invasion and N staging) between the two groups ( t=-0.663, z=-1.151, χ2 values: 0.003-1.491, all P>0.05) and the therapeutic response was also not different between the two groups( χ2=1.094, P=0.778). Of 81 patients who received 131I adjuvant therapy, the ps-Tg level of BRAF V600E mutant type group ( n=69) was higher than that of the wild type group( n=12; 8.70(1.30, 11.80) vs 3.40(0.30, 4.50) μg/L; z=-2.194, P=0.028), while the therapeutic response was not different between the two groups ( χ2=1.792, P=0.617). Compared with BRAF V600E mutant patients received 131I ablation ( n=81), BRAF V600E mutant patients received 131I adjuvant therapy ( n=69) had larger tumors (1.52(0.95, 2.00) vs 1.21(0.60, 1.50) cm; z=-2.728, P=0.006), more advanced N staging ( χ2=11.460, P=0.003) and higher ps-Tg level (8.70(1.30, 11.80) vs 4.34(0.50, 5.30) μg/L; z=-3.314, P=0.001), but the therapeutic response was not different between the two groups ( χ2=6.478, P=0.091). Conclusion:131I adjuvant therapy may improve the longer-term response to therapy in BRAF V600E mutant PTC patients with lager tumors, more advanced N staging and higher ps-Tg level.

Objective To study the effects of repeated hypoxic exposures (HEs) on glycolysis, mitochondrial oxi-dative phosphorylation and energy charge in mouse brain. Methods Adult BALB/c mice were repeatedly exposed to hypoxia for 5 times and the standard tolerant time and body temperature were recorded. The activities of PFK, PK and mitochondrial complex Ⅰ in the brain were assayed. Phosphoadenosines and energy charge were measured. Results Repeated HEs prolonged the hypoxic tolerance and reduced the body temperature. The activities of PFK and PK experienced regular changes, with an increase in 1st and 3rd HEs and a decline to control levels in 5th HE. The complex Ⅰ activity continued to decrease during HEs. The energy charge was stable. Conclusion HEs lead to a regular change of glycolysis, a continued inhibition of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, and a main-tained energy charge in the brains of mouse.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the protective effect of Huaxia shallot preparation on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) injury induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) in vitro. METHODS: Ox-LDL was prepared and identified, and HUVECs were cultured. After 2-hour intervention of different drugs and 24-hour following intervention of Ox-LDL, the number of HUVECs was observed by phase contrast optical microscope and the activity of the HUVECs was observed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) technique. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and nitric oxide (NO) content were assayed by respective kit. The protein expressions and mRNA levels of peroxisome proliferators activated receptor gamma(PPAR-gamma) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) were measured by western blot technique and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: Ox-LDL could increase the apoptosis rate of the HUVECs and decrease the NO release as compared with the blank control group (P<0.05). These effects induced by Ox-LDL were all significantly inhibited by Huaxia shallot preparation. It could up-regulate the protein expressions and mRNA levels of PPAR-gamma and eNOS significantly (P<0.05). Huaxia shallot preparation could decrease the apoptosis rate of the HUVECs. CONCLUSION: Ox-LDL may be involved in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis by injuring the endothelial cells directly and may cause the endothelial dysfunction. Huaxia shallot preparation can protect against Ox-LDL induced endothelial cell injury by up-regulating the protein expressions and mRNA levels of PPAR-gamma and eNOS. It suggests that Huaxia shallot preparation may play a role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Objective To evaluate the effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on the left ventricular function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Thirty ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged 42-70 yr,with body height 152-181 cm,weighing 43-78 kg,scheduled for elective CABG under CPB,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =15 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and sevoflurane preconditioning group (group SP).Group SP inhaled sevoflurane with the end-tidal concentration corresponding to 1 MAC for 30 min after endotracheal intubation.Before sevoflurane preconditioning (T0) and at 60 min after termination of CPB (T1),mean arterial pressure (MAP),stroke volume index (SVI),pulmonary artery obstruction pressure and the TEE variables including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),peak E wave velocity (E),systolic wave velocity (S),and diastolic wave velocity (D),and low propagation velocity (Vp) were recorded.S/D ratio and E/Vp ratio were calculated.Extubation time and duration of ICU stay were also recorded.Results Compared with the baseline value at T0,HR was significantly increased at T1 (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01),and no significant change was found in the other parameters of the left ventricle function in the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the parameters of the left ventricle function,extubation time and duration of ICU stay between SP group and C group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Preconditioning with inhalation of sevoflurane with the end-tidal concentration corresponding to 1 MAC before CPB does not produce myocardial protection in terms of the left ventricular function or exerts little effect on the short-term outcomes.
