Objective To investigate the effect of glutaminase 1(GLS1)specific inhibitor BPTES[bis-2-（5-phenylacetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl）ethyl sulfide]on the liver fibrosis in the mouse model of liver fibrosis induced by carbon tetrachloride(CCl4).Methods Male C57BL/6J mice were intraperitoneally injected with olive oil(control group),10%CCl4(10 μL/g,model group)or 10% CCl4(10 μL/g)+ BPTES(10 mg/kg,treatment group),with 10 mice in each group,two doses a week for four weeks to establish liver fibrosis model. Collagen deposition in mouse liver tissue was observed by Sirius red staining. The expression levels of actin alpha 2(Acta2),collagen typeⅠalpha 1(Col1a1)GLS1 and GLS1 protein were detected by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemical staining.Results Compared with the control group,the liver tissue of mice in the model group was generally enlarged,the surface was not smooth and granular,and the ratio of liver mass to tibia length significantly increased(t = 2. 979,P < 0. 05);The Sirius red positive area of collagen deposition increased signifi-cantly in the liver tissue of mice in the model group(t = 7. 661,P < 0. 01),the relative expression levels of Acta2 and Col1a1 significantly increased(t = 4. 335 and 5. 319,respectively,each P < 0. 01),and the mRNA and protein levels of GLS1 significantly increased(t = 5. 319 and 9. 725,respectively,each P < 0. 01). However,compared with the model group,the BPTES treatment group had a reduction in liver mass,a significant reduction in the Sirius red positive area of collagen deposition in liver tissue(t = 7. 427,P < 0. 01),and a significant reduction in the relative expressions of Atca2 and Col1a1(t = 3. 713 and 2. 628,respectively,each P < 0. 05).Conclusion Inhibition of GLS1activity can significantly improve the degree of liver fibrosis induced by CCl4,providing a new idea for the treatment of liver fibrosis.

OBJECTIVE:To introduce how to use the automated drug dispensing machine to prepare drugs in single dose and to introduce our experience in the application of this machine. METHODS:The working principe, application context, and the functional advantage of the machine were introduced, and the problems encountered in the use of the machine was analyzed based on our experience, and the prospect of the machine was discussed. RESULTS: The machine enjoys the advantages of raising work efficiency, lowering dispensing error rate and bringing about convenience for patient to use, but it has its limitation in that it proposes higher requirement for software and hardware environment. CONCLUSION: The application of this automatic system will be more widespread with people’s increasing demand on medical care.

Towards the problems after the medical reform of China,such as dramatic increase of healthcare expenditure and conflict between doctor and patient,this paper analyzes the tripartite relationships between hospital,insurance supplier and patient from the theoretical and practical aspects,concludes that the non-balanced development of the current relationships is an important reason of the problems,and gives the corresponding countermeasures for reference.

Objective To evaluate the relaxation rates and imaging effects of three MRI contrast agents gadopentetate dimeglumine(0.5 mol/L),gadodiamine and gadovist(1.0 mol/L) in the nervous system.Methods Relaxation rate differences between the three contrast agents were assessed using the GE Signa HDx 3.0 T MR scanner and phantom solutions of different albumin concentrations.Twenty leukemia patients whose initial scans had been conducted with the injection of a standard dose(0.5 mol/L)of gadopentetate dimeglumine as the contrast agent were recalled to have a follow-up scan for signs of brain infections with the same imaging protocols,except that a high concentration(1.0 mol/L)gadovist was used this time as the contrast agent.CNR and SNR in the ROI were measured for quantitative analysis.Results Changes in dosage of the three contrast agents produced no difference in intensity of the image signal for each phantom solution of a specific albumin concentration(5.0 g/L:P=0.35,6.5g/L:P =0.27,8.0 g/L:P=0.23).Two sets of scans of the leukemia patients showed that high concentration(1.0 mol/L)gadovist generated higher SNR and CNR in the ROI of the white matter,gray matter and vasculature than standard concentration(0.5 mol/L) gadopentetate dimeglumine(P＜ 0.05).Conclusions A half dose of high concentration(1.0 mol/L) gadovist generates better imaging enhancement than standard concentration(0.5 mol/L)gadopentetate dimegluminethe.Gadopentetate dimeglumine,gadodiamide and gadovist have no significant difference in relaxation rate.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality standard for Gardenia jasminoides. METHODS:The moisture,total ash and extract were determined. HPLC was used for contents determination of geniposide,rutin,crocinⅠand crocinⅡ:the column was Waters Xbridge-C18 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid(gradient elution,gardenia and rutin),methanol-water (45∶55,V/V,crocinⅠ,crocinⅡ)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min;detection wavelength was 256 nm for gardenia and rutin,440 nm for crocinⅠ,crocinⅡ;column temperature was 30℃;injection volume was 10μl for gardenia and rutin,5μl for crocinⅠ,cro-cinⅡ. RESULTS:The moisture total ash and ethanol-soluble extract of G. jasminoides were 5.8%-8.4%,3.7%-5.9% and 29.5%-37.9%,respectively. The linear range was 162.08-1 620.84 μg/ml for geniposide(r=0.999 9),2.07-20.72 μg/ml for rutin (r=0.999 9),8.04-80.41 μg/ml for crocinⅠ(r=0.999 9)and 1.05-10.53 μg/ml for crocinⅡ(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,sta-bility and reproducibility test were lower than 2%;recoveries were 99.33%-101.43%(RSD=1.09%,n=6),97.97%-101.83%(RSD=1.39%,n=6),97.97%-101.30%(RSD=1.36%,n=6) and 98.65%-103.04%(RSD=1.84%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The established standard can be used for the quality control of G. jasminoides commercially available.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the innovation of chronic disease management mode by combing internet big data with foreign and domestic chronic disease management experience. METHODS:Innovative strategies for chronic disease man-agement in internet big data era were explored from respective of pharmacists,based on national condition,referring to internation-al chronic disease management. RESULTS:The development of internet big data era brought thinking of pharmacists about new type chronic disease management mode. Pharmacists established chronic disease patients medication safety management center based on big data platform,and provided full-range and multi-level pharmaceutical care,including real-time intervention,personal-ized pharmaceutical care,human concern and timeless and spaceless patient education,clinical evidence-based medicine. CONCLU-SIONS:Big data-based chronic disease management mode could reduce the risk of drug use,promote rational drug use,and open a new era of“patient-centered”pharmaceutical care conception and pharmacist’s function transformation.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo investigate the methods of diagnosing and treating congenital middle ear cholesteatoma
and causes of misdiagnosis.METHODSThis was a retrospective review of 9 cases of congenital middle ear cholesteatoma in this hospital.RESULTS9 patients all received operative treatment and definite diagnosis was made by histopathologic investigation. The ossicular reconstruction was performed to 6 patients. All of the cases were followed-up for 3 months-2.5 years. A-B gap was 20 dB. After 1 year, no residual or recurrence of cholesteatoma was found in CT scan. All patients had been misdiagnosed. Misdiagnosis rate was 100%.CONCLUSIONCongenital middle ear cholesteatoma is a clinically rare and diagnosis is usually delayed in clinical practice due to the silent nature of the disease in its early stage. Preoperative diagnosis may be based on Levenson diagnostic criteria and CT imaging. Early surgical treatment can obtain a good effect of hearing reconstruction. To avoid misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment, radiological evaluation and careful local examination are really important, which may also avoid serious complications.
