The treatment group was intervened by Chinese herbal fumigation plus beating with mulberry stick, and the control group was by orally taking Diclofenac Sodium Sustained Release Tablets plus external use of She Xiang Zhen Tong Gao (Moschus Analgesic Plaster). After one treatment course, the visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to observe the change of pain, and the clinical efficacies were also evaluated.
Results: After intervention, the improvement of VAS score in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01).
Conclusion:Chinese herbal fumigation plus beating with mulberry stick can produce a higher clinical efficacy than orally taking Diclofenac Sodium Sustained Release Tablets in treating heel pain.

AIM: To investigate the preventive effect of tetrahydroxystilbene-glucoside (TSG) on experimental atherosclerosis rats. METHODS: Sixty one male rats were randomly divided into six groups. normal control; model control; TSG low dose(30 mg?kg-1?d-1);TSG middle dose(60 mg?kg-1?d-1);TSG high dose(120 mg?kg-1?d-1); simvastatin(2 mg?kg-1?d-1). The AS model of rats was made by feeding high grease food and injecting VitD3 .All the rats were fed for 12 weeks, blood samples were drawn from carotid artery of rats, the levels of TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C ,CRP,IL-6 and TNF-? in serum were measured with biochemical method. After blood samples were collected , the aorta samples were separated from the bodies, then they were placed 4% paraformaldehydea and were through Sudan Ⅳ and HE staining. STATA7.0 software was used to evaluate the differences between groups. RESULTS: Data of the study demonstrated that the levels of TC、TG、LDL-C、TNF-?、IL-6 and CRP were decreased remarkably, the level of HDL-C was increased by TSG 60, 120 mg?kg-1?d-1 group in the high cholesterol-fed rats, which showed a dose-dependent effect. The result of Sudan Ⅳ and HE staining suggested that the lipid deposits in aortic endothelium in TSG group were less than those in model group. CONCLUSION: TSG has preventive effect on the experimental atherosclerosis among the high cholesterol-fed rats. The anti-atherogenic effect of TSG seems to be closely related to regulating plasma lipid profile, and inhibiting inflammation.

Aim To investigate the effects of TSG on the content of nitric oxide and the expression of endo-thelium nitric oxide synthase in artery vessels of experimental atherosclerotic rats.Methods Sixty male rats were randomly divided into six groups.GroupⅠ,Normal control;GroupⅡ,Model control;Group Ⅲ,TSG low dose;Group Ⅳ,TSG middle dose;GroupⅤ,TSG high dose;group Ⅵ,Simvastatin.After 12 weeks,blood samples were collected from carotid arteries of rats,and the levels of NO in serum were measured.After that,the aortas were separated from the bodies and placed in-70℃,then the content of nitric oxide synthase was detected,and gene expression of eNOS and iNOSmRNA in artery vessels were respectively measured with RT-PCR method.STATA 8.0 software was adopted in date analysis..Results compared with those of the model group,the level of NO,the activity of NOS and the gene expression of eNOS were increased,and the gene expression of iNOS was reduced by simvastatin and TSG 30,60,120 mg?kg-1?d-1 in the high cholesterol-fed rats,which showed a dose-dependent effect.Conclusion TSG can enhance the expression of eNOS gene and reduce the expression of iNOS gene in aorta vessels of experimental atherosclerotic rats,which may be one of the anti-atherosclerosis mechanisms of TSG.

Aim To observe the effects of 2,3,4',5-tetrahydroxystilbene-2-O-?-D glucoside on expression of ICAM-1、VCAM-1 and VEGF in atherosclerotic rats,and approach the influence of TSG in atherogenesis.Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into six groups(Control,Model,TSG 30、60、120 mg?kg-1?d-1 and Simvastatin 2 mg?kg-1?d-1 groups),given high-fat-diet for 12 weeks,the level of SOD and MDA then were determined.ICAM-1、VCAM-1 and VEGF protein were determined with Western blot assay,ICAM-1 mRNA and VCAM-1 mRNA were measured with RT-PCR,and VEGF expression was assessed by immunohisto-chemistry.Results In comparison with the model,the level of SOD increased markedly and the level of MDA decreased markedly after administering TSG;TSG could inhibit the expression of ICAM-1、VCAM-1 and VEGF in atherosclerotic arteries.Conclusions TSG could show its antiatherosclerotic effect by anti-oxydation and inhibiting the excretion of adhesion molecules.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the status quo of teachers'teaching ability of standardized training for hospital pharma-cists in Beijing area,and provide reference for strengthening the faculty construction. METHODS:A dynamic assessment of stan-dardized training base for hospital pharmacists of 17 inpatients in Beijing area was conducted to organize evaluation experts to as-sess the teaching ability of outpatient pharmacy,ward pharmacy and clinical pharmacy in training base. Questionnaire was designed and trainees were organized to evaluate the teaching ability,time,attitude,feedback and others and related results of teaching in bases were vegarded as objects for analysis and summary. RESULTS:The overall ability of teaching was high,and the most promi-nent was clinical pharmacy,which was well received by trainees. But there are differences among departments,the ability of ward pharmacy is slightly lower than the clinical pharmacy and outpatient pharmacy. And the teaching ability still had great improvement. CONCLUSIONS:In order to improve the overall teacher strength in training base,competence-based training for hospital pharma-cists must be strengthened to encourage teachers to attend training courses,strengthen cultivation of humanistic quality and enrich students'evaluation forms.

Objective:To investigate the effect of saw palmetto extract ( SR ) on GL261 glioma in rats and immune system.Methods:The 40 rats were divided into 4 groups randomly,one was the control group without tumor( the blank group) ( n=10) ,the other 30 rats were given subcutaneous inoculation of tumor cells and then divided into 3 groups:the tumor-bearing group( n=10) ,low dose SR group( n=10) ,and high dose SR group( n=10).After 1 week fed,the rats of SR groups were given the saw palmetto extract,low dose group 50 mg/kg once a day every other day and 300 mg/kg of high dose group every other day.The tumor-bearing groups received the same dose of distilled water.After 4 weeks fed, we measured the tumor weight and the inhibition rate was calculated.The tumor cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining.The activity of splenic macrophages was detected by macrophage phagocytosis of chicken erythrocytes and CD4+lymphocytes by flow cytometry.Results:①The SR groups compared with tumor group, the tumor weight was significantly reduced(F=62.678,P=0.000).The tumor inhibition rate was significantly higher in high dose group.②The apoptosis of tumor cells in tumor-bearing group was significantly less than SR groups and the apoptosis was significantly increased after treatment with SR ,especially in high dose SR group(F=1.287,P=0.000).③Compared with the blank group,the macrophage activity decreased remarkablely.SR enhanced the macrophage activity obviously, positively related to doses of SR ( F=141.205,P=0.000;F=126.903,P=0.000).④In the tumor-bearing group,the CD4+lymphocyte count decreased significantly.After SR treatment,the CD4+lymphocyte increased and were positively related to the dose of SR.Conclusion: Saw palmetto extract can strengthen the immune system.

OBJECTIVE:To provide scientic basis for clinical use of hormone.METHODS:The influence of methylpred?nisolone injection(MP)on levels of serum potassium,sodium,calcium,blood sugar,blood pressure,blood lipid,and protein was observed.RESULTS:MP had the most obvious influence on serum calcium and protein,while it had the least influence on triglyceride.Along with the increases of dosage of drug and patient’s age,the changes of biochemical indices induced by MP w_ ere more obvious.The changes of serum sodium and blood pressure were greater in male patients under age40in comparison with those in females.Supplement of potassium,calcium and protein could postpone the influence of drug on serum calcium and protein but could not reduce the incidence rates.CONCLUSION:The use of hormone should adhere to individualized principle and adopt the minimum dosage with expected therapeutic efficacy to reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.
