The morphology and anatomy of two genera, five species and one variety ofEquisetaceae produced in Shandong Province were studied under light and scanning electron microscope.There are remarkble differences between Equisetum L. and Hippochatete Milde in the type of stomas, at-tachments on the surface of stoma guard cells and the number of epithelial layers; and the presence of lat-eral xylem in all vasular bundle of Equisetaceae from Shandong. The results showed that they can be identi-fied taxonomically according to their inner structual and epidermal characteristics of stem between differentgenera, but with little difference among species of same genus.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS:Medication error(ME)cases report-ed from outpatient department from Oct. 2014 to Sept. 2015 in our hospital were analyzed,including ME category,classification, cause and proportion of persons who triggered or detected ME. RESULTS:Among 207 reports,there was no case of category A, 199 cases of category B,8 cases of category C,no of categories D-I. Among them,162 cases occurred in the links of prescrip-tions by doctors (78.26%),45 cases (21.74%) occurred in the links of dispensing prescriptions by pharmacists,the top 3 ME were improper usage(42.59%),improper administration route(40.74%)and inappropriate solvent(5.56%);the top 3 dispensing errors were variety error(40.00%),specification error(28.89%)and number errors(24.44%). The main causes for prescription errors were incomplete information system(56.17%)and drug information missing of doctors(43.83%);the main causes for dis-pensing errors were double specifications of drugs(35.56%),similar drug name(28.89%)and staffsntired(26.67%). In terms of the persons who triggered ME,the proportions of pharmacists,nurses,patients or their families were 97.58%,1.45% and 0.97%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Further strengthening information system and the on-the-job training for physicians and pharmacists can reduce the ME to some extent.

Objective To explore the effect of several cytokines, including interferon-γ, interleukin-10 and interlekin-4, on promoter activity of human BAFF (B-cell activating factor belonging to tumor necrosis factor family) gene. Methods A construct of phBAFF 1.02 containing sequence form -1349 bp to -329 bp of human BAFF gene, linking with chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) as reporter gene, was transiently transfected into human HL-60 cells, a kind of myeloid tumor cell lines. The cells were subsequently treated with IFN-γ, IL-10 and IL-4, and the CAT activity was assessed 24 hours after stimulation with each cytokines. Results IFN-γ of 5 ng/ml, IL-10 of 100 ng/ml could increase the CAT activity of phBAFF 1.02 to 4.18 and 2.13 folds respectively compared to the control. IL-4 at 100 ng/ml had no effect on promoter activity of human BAFF gene. Combination of IFN-γ, IL-10 and IL-4 could increase the CAT activity of phBAFF 1.02 to 3.41 and 1.58 folds respectively compared with controls. Conclusion IFN-γ and IL-10 can increase the promoter activity of human BAFF gene. IL-4 treatment can not affect the CAT activity driven by BAFF promoter. However, IL-4 can decrease the upregulating effect of IFN-γ and IL-10 on phBAFF1.02. These provide essential evidence for future study on the interaction mechanism of cytokines and BAFF in autoimmune diseases.

Objective To explore the effect of IFN-γ, IL-10 and IL-4 on B cell activating factor (BAFF) expression in human HL-60 cells, a kind of myeloid tumor cell lines, and its possible regulation mechanism. Methods Cultured human HL-60 cells were treated with IFN-γ, IL-10 and IL-4 for 1-3 days. The expression of membrane-bound BAFF on HL-60 cells was examined by flow cytometry, the amount of soluble BAFF was detected by ELISA assay, and the level of BAFF mRNA was tested by real-time PCR method. A functional 1021 bp fragment of the 5'-tlanking region of the human BAFF gene (-1349 to -329 bp) was cloned and investigated with serial 5'-deletion. The 5'-deleted promoters were recombinated with chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) as reporter gene. These five recombinant plasmids were transiently transfected to HL-60 cells with liposomal transfectian method. Promoters activities were determined by CAT reporter gene assay(CAT-ELISA) in those transfected cells treated with different cytokines. Results The results showed that the expression of membrane-bound BAFF, soluble BAFF and BAFF mRNA in human HL-60 cells were significantly elevated (P ＜ 0. 05) after incubated with IFN-γ and IL-10. In addition, IFN-γ and IL-10 showed significantly (P ＜ 0. 05) increased effects on promoter activity in human BAFF gane. And the cytokines-responsive sequences were located between -929 and -719 bp of the BAFF promoter region. Conclusion The enhancement of IFN-γ and IL-10 on BAFF expression and synthesis were regnla-ted by promoter activation. Our in vitro studies also raise the possibility to investigate the mechanisms regula-ting BAFF expression in other tumor cells of myeloid origin under pathological circumstances.

Objectives To investigate the incidence of brain injuri in premature infants in ten hospitals of seven large cities in China sponsored by the Subspecialty Group of Neonatology of Pediatric Society, China Medical Association. Methods All premature infants with gestational age less than 37 weeks in ten hospitals were given routine cranial ultrasound within three days of birth, and then repeated every 3-7 days till the discharge from the hospital during January 2005 to August 2006. Results Incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and severe IVH were 10.8% (406/3 768) and 2.4% (92/3 768) with 22.6% (92/406) for grade 1, 54.7% (222/406) for grade 2, 17.2% (70/406) for grade 3 and 5.4% (22/406) for grade 4 in nine hospitals; incidence of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and cystic PVL were 2.3% (112/4 933) and 0.3% (16/4 933) with 85.7% (96/112) for grade 1, 12.5% (14/112) for grade 2, and 1.8% (2/112) for grade 3 including all ten hospitals, respectively. Risk factors associated with increased severity of IVH were vaginal delivery (OR = 1.874, 95% CI = 1.172 - 2.997, P < 0.01), perinatal asphyxia (OR = 1.598, 95% CI = 1.077 - 2.372, P < 0.05), mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.988, 95% CI= 2.448 -6.948, P< 0.01), and amniotic fluid contamination (OR = 2.192, 95% CI = 1.054 - 4.544, P< 0.05). Risk factors that might result in the development of cystic PVL were vaginal delivery (OR = 1.400, 95% CI = 1.186 - 1.652, P < 0.001) and mechanical ventilation (OR = 3.000, 95% CI = 1.015 - 8.864, P < 0.05). Conclusions These data reflect basically the prevalence of brain injuriy in premature infants in major cities of China. However, more than 60% of population lives in the rural area, further multicenter investigation including the rural area is expected to be undertaken in future.
