Re-evaluation of bioequivalence of generic drugs is one of the key research focus currently. As a means to ensure consistency of the therapeutic effectiveness of drug products, clinical bioequivalence has been widely accepted as a gold standard test. In vitro dissolution testing based on the theory of the BCS is the best alternative to in vivo bioequivalence study. In this article, the conventional dissolution method and flow-through cell method were used to investigate the dissolution profiles of domestic amoxicillin capsules in different dissolution media, and the absorption behavior of the drugs with different release rates (t85% = 15-180 min) in the gastrointestinal tract was predicted by Gastro Plus. The flow-through cell method was thought better to reflect the release characteristics in vivo, and amoxicillin capsules with regard to the release rates up to 45 min (t85% = 45 min) were having a satisfied bioequivalence with the oral solution according to the C(max) and AUC. Although two different dissolution profiles of domestic amoxicillin capsules were found by flow-through cell methods, prediction results revealed that domestic capsules were probably bioequivalent to each other.

Objective To explore the occupational stressors and the coping strategies in the newly-employed nurses and to explore their relationships. Method The survey was done among 193 registered nurses with less than 3 years working experience using the occupational stressor scale for Chinese nurses, the simplified coping strategies questionnaire and a self-designed general demography form. Results The total score on occupational stressors was 2.27 ± 0.56, which was at a common level. Postive and negative coping style were 1.88 ± 0.44 and 1.04 ± 0.51. The stressors together with the dimensions were positively correlated with negative coping strategies (P<0.05). Conclusion Nursing administration should improve work environment, provide enough manpower for patient care, carry out training system to focus on education for newly employed nurses, and provide advice and help for them when they need.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological factors on the prognosis and investigate the necessity of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 255 patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 2000 to December 2005 were collected.The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method,and the survival rate of the patients were analyzed by Log-rank test.Factors influencing the survival were analyzed by Cox regression model.Results All patients were followed up till April 23,2010,and the mean time of follow-up was (63 ± 22)months.The median survival time was 63 months.The 5-year and tumor-free survival rates were 85.3% and 83.7%,respectively.The 5-year overall and tumor-free survival rates of patients without preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation were 86.9% and 85.6%,which were sigaificantly higher than 72.7%and 68.4% of patients with preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation(x2 =4.546,4.573,P < 0.05 ).The 5-year overall and tumor-free survival rates of patients with negative resection margin were 85.5% and 83.9%,which were significantly higher than 75.0% and 75.0% of patients with positive resection margin(x2 =7.020,6.009,P < 0.05 ).The result of multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation were the independent risk factors for patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer(Wald =4.477,relative risk =2.371,95 % confidence interval:1.066-5.275,P < 0.05 ).The 5-year overall and tumor-free survival rates were 87.3% and 86.0% for patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy,and were 82.2% and 80.3% for patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (P > 0.05 ).Conclusions Preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation are independent risk factors for the survival of patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer.Adjuvant chemotherapy could not improve the prognosis of patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between tumor-infiltrating mast cell (TIM) and the clinicopathological and prognostic factors of patients with colorectal cancer.MethodsA total of 282 cases of paraffin-embedded colorectal cancer specimens were obtained from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2002 to December 2005.The density of TIM was determined by immunohistochemical staining.According to the mean TIM density detected [ ( 8.4 + 6.5 )/HPF ],all the patients were divided into low-TIM density group (mean TIM density <8.4/HPF) and high-TIM density group (mean TIM density >8.4/HPF).The clinicopathological factors and the prognosis of patients between high-TIM density group and low-TIM density group were compared.All data were analyzed using the t test or chi-square test.The survival curve was drawn using the Kaplan-Meier method,and the survival of the patients was analyzed by the Log-rank test.The clinicopathological factors were analyzed retrospectively with the univariate and multivariate COX regression model.ResultsTIM was detected in all the patients with colorectal cancer.Significant differences were observed in the number of patients in N stage and TNM stage between patients in the high-TIM density group and those in the lowTIM density group (x2 =6.025,7.410,P < 0.05 ).All patients were followed up till September 2010,the 5-year overall and tumor-free survival rates of patients were 82.9% and 63.1% in the low-TIM density group,79.0% and 59.3% in the high-TIM density group,with significant difference between the 2 groups (P < 0.05 ).COX proportional hazard regression model revealed that high density of TIM was associated with short overall survival time and tumor-free survival time of colorectal cancer patients ( RR =2.119,95 % CI 1.326- 3.386; RR =2.084,95 % CI 1.357-3.199,P <0.05).The resuhs of multivariate analysis showed that high density of TIM was the independent factor influencing the overall survival time and tumor-free survival time (RR =1.651,95% CI 1.009-2.702; RR =1.680,95% CI 1.074-2.629,P < 0.05 ).ConclusionHigh density of TIM is correlated with the N stage and TNM stage of colorectal cancer,and it is an independent predictor of poor survival for patients with colorectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)and expression levels ofα-adducin(ADD1)gene in coronary artery disease (CAD)patients.Methods Extracted DNA and RNA samples of peripher-al blood white cells from 114 CAD patients and 116 healthy individuals in Jan 2011 to Oct 2013 from the General Hospital of the PLA Rocket Force.SNPs of rs3775067 and rs1263359 mutations in the ADD1 gene were analyzed with allele-specific flu-orogenic oligonucleotide probes combining hybridization.The gene expression levels were analyzed with fluorescence labeled and capillary electrophoresis technology.Results The frequencies of the genotypes and alleles of the two SNPs in the ADD1 gene were not significantly different between the two groups (χ2=0.018~1.317,all P>0.05).The ADD1 gene expression levels of CAD group (0.226±0.284)were obviously higher than that of control group (0.153±0.144,P<0.05).The gene expression levels of TC genotype of rs3775067 were obviously higher in CAD group (0.250±0.319)than that of control group (0.154±0.156,P<0.05),but the levels of the other genotypes had no significant difference between the two groups (t=0.557~1.867,all P>0.05).Conclusion The elevated ADD1 gene expression level would be risk factor for CAD.The polymorphisms of rs3775067 and rs1263359 had no relevance with CAD susceptibility.

Presently, there are many issues in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction, such as the uncertain sources of TCM, the lack of reminder for medication taboo, the nonstardard herb operation, and difficult supervision, etc. A digital service system of TCM decoction was established to solve the problems mentioned above. The digital service system mainly includes automatic coding for checking in & out, drug medication taboo database, digital operation in decoction, distribution through 2D code, the corresponding application for mobile phone, and the information supervision platform for TCM decoction. The digital service system of TCM decoction can track the quality & duty of the pieces, remind decoction medicine contraindications, improve the standard operation process of decoction, develop decoction distribution & tracking through cell phone, save the waiting time, and hence provides a new supervising method for TCM decoction. The digital service system of TCM decoction solves the key issues for the formula, operation, delivery and supervision of TCM. In the same vein, this system will expand the market share of TCM decoction and promote the development of TCM.
