Objective To study the relation between the clinical feature and glycoprotein D gene sequence analysis of a wild strain of HSV 2 isolated from one relapsed patient with genital herpes. Methods The partial glycoprotein D gene sequence of the above mentioned strain was amplified and cloned with PCR. Results The comparison of the amino acid sequence of gD gene between the wild strain and HSV 2G strain published showed that there was a mutation at site80 and site159. Conclusion In order to develop effective vaccine which is suitable for China, it is necessary to investigate the differences of the gene structure and function of gD among HSV isolated from China and other countries.

Objective To observe the effect of arthroscopic meniscectomy for symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus and the importance of early treatment. Methods Arthroscopic meniscectomy was performed on 29 patients (31 knees) with symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus. Partial meniscectomy was performed on 27 knees, subtotal meniscectomy on 4 knees with tear on the edge of meniscus. Results The operations on all 31 knees were successful without complications. The mean Lysholm score was 95.6 (87-100) during the follow-up, which was significantly higher than that before the operation (65.7, range 36-78; P

OBJECTIVE:To explore the assessment indicators of the accessibility of essential medicines to comprehensively evaluate the accessibility of essential medicinesand its coverage of medicine supply security and service quality and the improve-ment of the implementation of the new Healthcare reform. METHODS:Retrieved from Chinese and English Literature and the World Health Organization(WHO),theoretical analysis was conducted for the covering the core elements of essential medicines to explore construction ideas and content of essential medicines evaluation index system with international suitability,index appropri-ateness and operability. RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS:A series of medicine policy evaluation guide established by WHO is current-ly the main basis of the accessibility of essential medicines evaluation around the world,however,there are certain limitations for these indicators.According to the concept put forward by WHO and the related organizations,the core elements of the accessibility of essential medicines include:availability,affordability,supply system,sustainable financing,medicine quality and appropriate use.

There is a new research model named 'registry study/patient registry' in Western medicine, which could be referred to by Chinese medicine researchers, such as active safety surveillance. This article will introduce registry study from different aspects as the developing history, features, and application in order to inform Chinese medicine researchers of future studies.

This study is to investigate the effect of ferulic acid on learning and memory impairments of vascular dementia (VD) rats and its mechanism of action. VD rats model was replicated by permanent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (2VO). The learning and memory capability of VD rats was evaluated by Morris water maze. The activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of glutamic acid (Glu) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in hippocampus of VD rats' brain were determined, separately. The results showed that ferulic acid could alleviate learning and memory deficits of VD rats significantly. Ferulic acid was found to inhibit the activity of AChE and increased the activity of SOD in rat hippocampus. In addition, ferulic acid could also decrease the content of Glu and MDA in rat hippocampus. These results suggested that ferulic acid could alleviate VD rats' learning and memory deficits, which might be due to antioxidation, the improvement of cholinergic system in brain, or the inhibitory of nerve injury by excitatory amino acids.

This study aims to explore the impact on patient's liver and kidney function by different dosage of Kudiezi injection. This study retrospectively analyzed 15 228 patients' records from 18 nationwide general hospital information system (HIS). All patients were treated with Kudiezi injection, 1 956 patients that were given doses of > 40 mL, which is above the recommended dose, acted as the observation group. Fifty-five patients receiving the recommended dose of < 40 mL were the control group. Data about alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were collected before and after using Kudiezi injection, changes after treatment were outcomes. Also recorded were: age, costs, length of hospitalization and the patients' condition on admission. Propensity score method was used to balance 71 confounding variables such as gender, age, mortality, and costs. There were no significant difference on the four indexes between the two groups. It is hard to conclude that the use of Kudiezi injection over the recommended dose could influence the four indexes of liver and kidney from this data analysis. More conclusive evidence should be collected by further prospective study.

This study aims to assess if adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to Kudiezi injection are allergic in origin. Hospital information system (HIS) data from 18 hospitals in China were used to carry out a nested case control design study. Included were patients who received dexamethasone for suspected allergic reactions after receiving Kudiezi injection. These were compared with non-allergic reaction people. Single factor logistic regression and multiple factor logistic regression were used to analyze data. Condition on admission, allergic history, dosage, disease status and drug combinations were taken into account in cases of suspected allergic reactions. After analysis in two subgroups we found that the condition on solvents had a significant effect, P values were 0.005 5 and < 0.000 1 on suspected cases of allergic reactions. For the first subgroup analysis, we found using other eight injections at the same time as Kudiezi injection could be risk factors in suspected cases of allergic reactions. For the second subgroup analysis combining using mannitol or fructose could increase risks. Based on this current research, condition on admission as well as the concomitant use of some other drugs may be the risk factors in suspected cases of allergic reactions. However, further research for verification is required. This study can provide guidance for safe clinical practice in using Kudiezi injection.

OBJECTIVETo understand the real world Shuxuetong injection suspicious allergic factors.

METHODNational 18 hospitals of the hospital information system using Shuxuetong data, using design methods retrospective nested case-control, and contrast using Shuxuetong after the occurrence of allergic reactions in patients with non-allergic patients differences in age, gender, admission illness, allergies, etc.

RESULTBased on available data, indicate suspicious allergies affect Shuxuetong factors may be hospitalized illness, solvent, single dose, concomitant medications.

CONCLUSIONWhen using Shuxuetong for critically ill patients should use caution and pay attention to solvents, dose, combination therapy of choice clinically. Conclusions of this study need further study to be verified.

To analyze the reality of ectopic pregnancy patients' clinical medication, find out the association rules of chemical medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, HIS data from 15 grade III-A general hospitals were collected, descriptive statistic methods and association rules were used in analysis of the data. The results showed that the most commonly used western medicine types were antibiotics,hemostatic medicine and killing embryo medicine. The most commonly used traditional Chinese medicine types were heat clearing and detoxicating drugs, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis drugs, tonifying Qi and blood drugs. The common combinations of western medicine and Chinese medicine were heat clearing and detoxicating drug add antibiotics, heat clearing and detoxicating drug add hemostatic medicine, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis drug add antibiotics, tonifying Qi and blood drug add antibiotics. In conclusion, the medicine types of ectopic pregnancy were concentrated. For conbined treatment of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, heat clearing and detoxicating, tonic righting, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis treatment were often used on the basis of anti-inflammatory, killing embryo and hemostasis.
