Abnormal proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) plays an important role in several pathological processes of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, the effects of XCT790, a potent and selective inverse agonist of estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRalpha), on rat VSMCs proliferation and related signal pathways were investigated. The proliferative activity of VSMCs was determined by CCK-8 assay. The mRNA levels of ERRalpha, PGC-1alpha, OPN and MCAD were assayed by RT-PCR. The protein levels of ERRalpha, ERK2 and p-ERK1/2 were evaluated by Western blotting. ELISA was used to assess the protein expression of VEGF. The results showed that XCT790 (5-20 micromol x L(-1)) inhibited rat VSMCs proliferation, and the expression of ERRalpha and its target genes, as well as p-ERK1/2, were also inhibited. XCT790 inhibited VSMCs proliferation in a dose-dependent manner at the dose range from 5 to 20 micromol x L(-1) and in a time-dependent manner at the dose range from 10 to 20 micromol x L(-1). These findings demonstrate that XCT790 inhibits rat VSMCs proliferation by down-regulating the gene level of ERRalpha and thus inhibiting the ERK signal pathway, suggesting that ERRalpha may be a novel potential target for therapeutic approaches to inhibit VSMCs proliferation, which plays an important role in several cardiovascular diseases.

As the specific endangered medicinal plant in Xinjiang, resources and distribution of Ferula sinkiangen-sis are important for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development of Chinese medicine resources. The spa-tial distribution and resources of F. sinkiangensis were researched based on low altitude remote sensing and sample investigation. The results showed that the optimum working time for F. sinkiangensis monitoring by low altitude remote sensing was the nearby 5 hills, which covered about 0.88 km2. It was suggested that the fence area should be expanded for protection. According to the results of low altitude remote sensing, the amount of F. sinkiangensis in yellow (diameter exceeding 0.3 m) was about 3 191. However, the sample investigation on amount of F. sinkiangensis in yellow (diameter exceeding 0.3 m) was about 2 752. The error between them was 14%. The monitoring time and range for F. sinkiangensis by low altitude remote sensing were also ensured. It was concluded that low altitude re-mote sensing had the advantage of quickly receiving distribution situation of F. sinkiangensis, which can effectively evaluate dynamic changes of F. sinkiangensis in Xinjiang.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the new management model of the hospital pharmacy established by application of vender managed inventory (VMI) model. METHODS:Concerned about the implementation of VMI model,its effects and prob-lems,new management model of hospital pharmacy were described after the hospital cooperated with two suppliers. The hospital is mainly in charge of the management and application of pharmaceutical staff and equipment,drug capital flow,and the selection and optimization of drug use list;focus on the training of pharmaceutical talents;improve drug quality management,pharmaceuti-cal administration,pharmaceutical care and rational drug use. Two suppliers are mainly in charge of drug logistics,and the alloca-tion of servicer,software and hardware(as automatic medicine dispensing machine);share logistic cost of supply chain. Drug in-formation flow was established by both hospital and supplier. RESULTS:After cooperation,pharmaceutical staff,related equip-ment and inventory cost(floating capital decreased by 10 million yuan each month)were decreased,and the efficiency of distribu-tion improved;the error rate of drug dispensing in outpatient pharmacy were decreased (decreasing from 0.39‰ to 0.12‰) after the establishment of automatic pharmacy. The establishment of early warning system for abnormal patients flowrate in pharmacy window shortened the time of getting medicine,and improved service level and satisfactory degree of patients (increasing from 84.91% to 93.62%). CONCLUSIONS:New management model of hospital pharmacy based on VMI model provides reference for public hospital reform and hospital-enterprise cooperation under New Medical Reform.
