In the recent 2 decades,the clinical medical mode has been changed greatly.The experience-based medical mode is gradually replaced by evidence-based mode,ie,evidence-based medicine.Large scale clinical trials provide robust evidence for clinical practice and quality control is critical for the success of one trial.We discuss six facets on this subject,including protocol design,staff training,manual formulating,organization,data management and monitoring.The objective of quality control is to ensure the study conducted according to the protocol,the results are reliable and protect the human rights of participants.

OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics of domestic zaleplon tablets in Chinese healthy volun?teers.METHODS:20male healthy subjects received a single oral dose of15mg zaleplon tablets.The plasma concentrations of zaleplon were determined by an improved HPLC method.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:The main pharmacokinetic parameters of zaleplon were as follow:C max was55.90?16.20ng/ml,T max was1.05?0.32h,Ke was0.74?0.18h -1 ,T 1/2Ke was1.00?0.29h,AUC 0～8 was123.70?25.64ng?h/ml,AUC 0～∞ was125.20?25.80ng?h/ml.The results are compara?ble to those reported in foreign literature.

OBJECTIVETo explore the optimal intervention time of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis.

METHODSTwo hundred and four cases of peripheral facial paralysis were collected in clinic for retrospective analysis. According to the time between the disease onset and the intervention of acupuncture and moxibustion, 3 groups (groups A, B and C) were divided. In group A, the treatment was given in 1 to 3 days after onset; in group B, the treatment was given in 4 to 7 days after onset; in group C the treatment was given in 8 to 10 days after onset. The treatment with acupuncture and moxibustion was applied according to the regular stages of disease in the three groups. At the acute stage, the less points and shallow puncture therapy combined with distal acupoints at the limbs were adopted on the affected side. At the stable stage, the more points and shallow puncture therapy were used on the affected side. At the recovery stage, the deep puncture or penetrating punctures was applied on the affected side. The curative effects was given once every day and the treatment of 10 days made one session. The curative effects were analyzed statistically at the end of three sessions of treatments separately.

RESULTSAt the end of the 1st session of treatment, the total effective rate was 58.8% (40/68) in group A, 69.7% (53/76) in group B and 46.6% (28/60) in group C. At the end of the 2nd session of treatment, the total effective rate was 85.3% (58/68), 90.8% (69/76) and 71.6% (43/60) in group A, B and C separately. At the end of 3rd session of treatment, the total effective rates were 89.7% (61/68), 97.4% (74/76) and 83.3% (50/60) in the three groups separately. The differences were significant statistically at the same session of treatment among three groups (all P<0.05), in which, the results in group B was the best, followed by group A and C in sequence.

CONCLUSIONthe best intervention time of acupuncture and moxibustion is in 4 to 7 days after onset of facial paralysis.

The array CGH technique (Array Comparative Genome Hybridization) has been developed to detect chromosomal copy number changes on a genome-wide and/or high-resolution scale. It is mainly used in human genetics and oncology. Generally PCR amplified bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) or cDNAs have been spotted on the arrays as probes. Recently, however, oligonucleotide arrays designed with more flexibility and provide much higher resolution with high sensitivity, have been successfully explored in stead of BAC array CGH and can save considerable time and efforts. There will be a gradual transition from BAC array CGH to oligonucleotide array CGH in the coming years. The combination of oaCGH and other high-through put analysis can lead to discoveries of a host of novel oncogenes, tumor suppressors as well as tumor drug resistance genes. Some major platforms of oaCGH concerning their spatial resolution, optimal probe length, sensitivity, specificity and application in recent years were compared.

Objective To analyze the related factors of donor′s donation reaction in first time apheresis platelets to provide a basis for formulating the preventive measures of donation reactions in apheresis platelets.Methods The donation data in 743 cases of first time apheresis platelet in this blood station were retrospectively analyzed,and the factors possible influencing the donation reaction occurrence in donors of the first time apheresis platelet were performed the univariate Logistic regression analysis,then observation indicators with statistical significance were performed the multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results The univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that gender,age,body mass,whole blood donation history were the influencing factors of donors′ donation reaction in the first time apheresis platelets.In multivariate Logistic regression analysis,the main factors were age (OR=0.301,P<0.05),body mass (OR=0.411,P<0.05)and whole blood donation history(OR=0.441,P<0.05).Conclusion Age,body mass and whole blood donation history are the main influencing factors of donors′ donation reactions in the first time apheresis platelets.

Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture and moxibustion for treatment of vertebrobasilar insuffciency (VBI). Methods Randomized controlled trails (RCTs) of VBI treated by acupuncture and moxibustion were collected. 8 RCTs were included and assessed. The data was statistically analyzed by Meta-analysis and Funnel plot analysis. Result 8 RCTs were all trails of low methodological quality. Meta-analysis indicated after combination OR=4.36, confidence interval of 95% was 2.88～7.45. The rhombus was located at the right side of the medium line (Z =6.33, P
