OBJECTIVE:To explore the approach for the improvement and extension of the function of pharmaceutical services in modern hospitals.METHODS:The development of our pharmacy department in recent years was analyzed,aimed at the actual demands of hospitals and patients and in view of the advantages of our department,the new entry point for the pharmaceutical services was explored.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:By improving the workflow of prescription dispensing,the time for patients to have their prescriptions filled can be greatly shortened and is left for pharmacists to collect drug-related information based on the demands of both patients and clinic and provide professional guidance so as to increase the weight of patients in the treatment course,which is in the interest of medication safety,patients and hospital.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the change of extracellular matrix (ECM) in diabetic rat lungs.MethodsUsing special staining,immunohistochemical method and imaging analysis,the changes of distribution,area,integral optial density and relative contents of lung ECM in diabetic rats were studied.ResultsThe distributions of elastic fibres,collagenic fibres and reticular fibres increased and roughened.The type Ⅳ collagen strong staining was localized in alveolar septum,the basement membranes of bronchiole and capillary,and distributed in cordal,plexiform.Laminin was strong stained and found in alveolar septum,epithelial cells of alveolar,and the basement membranes of bronchiole and pulmonary vessels in cordal and linear distribution.Image analysis showed the area,integral optical density and relative contents of elastic fibres,collagenic fibres,reticular fibres,type Ⅳ collagen and laminin were larger in diabetic rat lungs than in control groups.ConclusionThese results showed that the changes of ECM in early diabetic rat lungs were abnormal.

Objective: Observe the curative effect of basic recipes for removing phlegm and activating blood circulation in experimental model of non-alcoholic fatty liver in rats.Methods: Experimental animal model of non-alcoholic fatty liver in rats were established,then treated with Erchen decoction,TaohongSiwu decoction and the combination decoction.Basic biochemical indexes of rats were tested after treatment.Results: Erchen decoction can reduce the level of liver organ coefficient,cholesterin and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)(P

[Objective]To investigate the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis by increasing stiffness of subchondral bone to simulate subchondral bone sclerosis to induce the osteoarthritis.[Methods]The proportion between polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA),methylmethacrylate(MMA),hydroxyapatite(HA) and distilled water was adjusted to keep the maximum reaction temperature under 40℃.The composite material PMMA/HA was obtained and compressed on a mechanical material machine to determine its ultimate strength and stiffness,which were compared with those of subchondral bone.The subchondral bone of medial tibial plateau was scraped,where the composite material PMMA /HA was implanted into.Rabbits were sacrificed at 3,6,9 and 12 weeks,respectively.The articular cartilages of the medial tibial plateau were harvested for histological observation.Immunohistochemical analysis was adopted to record the expression and distribution of collagen type Ⅱ and MMP-1 in cartilage at protein level,which were compared with the blank and control groups.Transmission electron microscope was used to examine the ultramicroscopic changes of chondrocytes in blank and 6,12-week-postsurgery groups.[Results]With the time going,the experimental groups gradually presented degeneration,and had increased histological Mankin score.TEM demonstrated degenerative changes of chondrocytes.Collagen type Ⅱ expressed mainly in transition zone and upper deep zone,and MMP-1 expressed predominantly in the superficial and upper intermediate layers of cartilage.Both expressions steadily increased with time passing.[Conclusion]The increased stiffness of subchondral bone induced osteoarthritis in rabbits,which suggests that subcondral bone sclerosis may induce cartilage damage,and that subcondral bone sclerosis is one of the initial pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.

Objective Through analyzing benign and malignant pleural effusion samples by proteomic techniques, finding protein biomarkers to provide help and new clues for effusion differential diagnosis.Methods Two-dimensional electrophoresis(2-DE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS) were used to search and identify protein biomarkers, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was to validate the biomarkers.Results By comparing malignant group with benign group, 43 significantly different protein spots(Up or down regulated≥2 times) were found.Including 9 up regulated spots and 34 down regulated spots.And 7 spots were identified(Up or down regulated≥3 times) by MALDI-TOF-MS and validated 2 spots immunoglobulin λ(Igλ) and haptoglobin(Hp) by ELISA.The results showed that Igλ showed no statistical significance between two groups, while Hp showed the statistical significance(P<0.05).The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of Hp in malignant pleural effusion were 75.00% and 52.38% at diagnostic cut-off point of 389.02 μg/L.Conclusion The application of proteomics technology has a great help with protein biomarkers searching in pleural effusion.HP has a certain value for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant pleural effusionand and worthy of further study.

Objective To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of pigment epithelium derived factor(PEDF) acting upon SK-MES-1 cell and human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs).Methods CCK-8 was used to detect the effect of varying concentrations of PEDF upon HUVECs and SK-MES-1 cell, measuring the degree of cell proliferation and inhibition effect across varying times.The flow cytometry tests were carried out to invest gate the apoptosis of these two kinds of cells when exposed to varying concentration of PEDF.qRT-PCR were carried out to assess the vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) gene expression level in these two kinds of cells after treatment of PEDF.Results CCK-8 results revealed that PEDF had a concentration-dependent and time-dependent cell proliferation inhibition effect on SK-MES-1 cell and HUVECs(P<0.05);Flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis of the cells in the treatment group were higher than that of control group(P<0.05), and the apoptosis rate of high concentration group was higher than that of the low concentration group(P<0.05);qRT-PCR results showed that PEDF was able to inhibit expression of mRNA of VEGF in both HUVECs and SK-MES-1 cell compared with control samples(P<0.05).Conclusion The antitumor properties of PEDF is mainly related to the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and direct effects on tumor cells, the effect of PEDF on HUVECs and SK-MES-1 cell maybe related to the effects of PEDF on downregulating expression of VEGF.

AIM: The phagocytotic function and morphological changes of pulmonary alveolar macrophages (AM) of rat in high glucose or high glucose and high insulin conditions were studied. METHODS: AM were harvested from Wistar rats by bronchoalveolar lavage and were activated by Bacille Calmette - Guerin (BCG), interferon a - 2b (IFNa - 2b)or BCG and IFNa - 2b. The adherent rate, nitroblue retrazolium (NBT). reduction function and the concentrations of NO and TNF-a in culture rat AM were evaluated. The ultrastructure of AM was Observed by using transmission elects microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: In high glucose or high glucose glucose and high insulin conditions, the adherence of AM postponed(P＜ 0.01 ), NBT reduction of AM significantly decreased(P＜0.01); the volume of NO and TNF-a produced by AM after stimulation with BCG and IFNa-2b + BCG was significantly lower in high glucose groups than in the controls (P ＜ 0.01); their surface pseudopodia was reduced and shortened and the numbers of Golgi apparatus and rough endoplasmic reticulum decreased. CONCLUSIONS:The impaired phagocytotic function and ultrastructure of activated rat AM were much the same regardless of high glucose or high glucose and high insulin level in a short time. Diabetic subjects were predisposed to infection of the lung, which was frequently recurrent or even fatal.
