China Pharmacy 2016;(4):433-436
OBJECTIVE:To learn the way to improve innovation efficiency of technological development and achievement transformation stages in pharmaceutical industry in China. METHODS:The input and output data of pharmaceutical industry in 28 provinces(regions,cities)of China from 2001-2013 were estimated by using stochastic frontier analysis(SFA)so as to obtain in-novation efficiency of two stages. According to average efficiency of two stages,pharmaceutical industry of 28 provinces(regions, cities)were divided into 4 categories for further analysis. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The innovation efficiency of pharmaceuti-cal industry in China was 0.626 2 at technology development stage and 0.567 8 at transformation stage,indicating they were not high either and the transformation efficiency was lagged behind the development efficiency. The coefficient of variation of innova-tion efficiency at transformation stage(0.274 2)was higher than development stage(0.194 5),indicating the difference degree of innovation efficiency at transformation stage was larger than at development stage. The areas with higher efficiency in both stages were in Eastern and economically developed regions,and the Western region with rich natural resources had higher efficiency at technological development stage,indicating region economic level or resource advantages created the conditions for the pharmaceuti-cal industry to enhance the innovation efficiency. It is suggested to further strengthen scientific achievement communication between pharmaceutical enterprises and pharmaceutical research institutions,and pay more attention to develop national medicine and tradi-tional Chinese medicine in Western region.

Objective To discuss the relationship among Big Five-Personality, Resilience and General Health of the new recruits in a certain troop. Methods 205 new recruits completed the questionnaires, which include NEO Five-Factor Inventory ( NEO-FFI) , Connor-Davidso Resilience Meter (Chinese version) , and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Results The neuroticism trait of personality positively correlated to General Health( r = 0.50, P<0.001) and significantly predicted mental disease (β =0.4, P<0.01). The self-strengthening dimension of resilience was negatively related to general health ( r = - 0. 51 , P<0. 01 ). Furthermore, self-strengthening played partial mediating role between neuroticism and general health ( Sobel Z =2. 92, P<0. 01). Conclusion The neuroticism trait of personality is a risk factor for new recruits'mental health, while self-strengthening is a protective factor for it.

Objective To investigate the clinic features and risk factors for central nervous system (CNS) infection in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Methods Clinical data of 18 cases of hospitalized lupus patients with CNS infection were analyzed retrospectively.Thirty-three lupus patients without CNS infection were selected as control. Results There were significant differences between the CNS infection group and control group in the dosage of corticosteroid used for pulse therapy (22% vs 3%, P<0.05), the aver-age dosage of corticosteroid used within one year (35±18 vs 24±17, P<0.05), peripheral blood leukocyte count (4.4±3.4 vs 6.7±2.9, P<0.05) and lymphocyte count (0.7±0.6 vs 1.5±0.7, P<0.01), and clinical outcome (mortality rate was 22% vs 0, P<0.05). Conclusion The clinical manifestations of CNS infection may be atypical. Large-dosage corticosteroid therapy, higher daily dosage of corticosteroid used, decreased peripheral lymphocytes and leucocytes counts are risk factors of central nervous system infection in lupus patients.

Objective To study the hypoglycemic effect of total flavonoids from stems and leaves of scatellaria baicalensis (SSTF)on diabetic mice and to explore the therapeutic mechanism.Methods Diabetic mice models were established by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan(200 mg/kg),and the changes of mice blood glucose ,superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdelyde content were observed after preventive or curative treatment with SSTF.Results Preventive treat- ment with SSTF can obviously inhibit the increase of mice blood glucose induced by alloxan ,and the therapeutic treat- ment with SSTF can lower the blood glucose levels of diabetic mice.Both preventive and therapeutic treatment groups can increase serum superoxide dismutase activity and decrease malondialdelyde content.Conclusion SSTF have significant preventive and therapeutic effects on diabetic mice,and the mechanism is related to the anti-oxidation activity.

Objective To study the brain development in infants of diabetic mother. Methods The development of cerebral grey matters and white matters was evaluated in 64 infants of pregnant diabetic mother by echoencephalography and medical image analysis system. The parameters were compared with 101 infants of non-diabetic mother. The early brain response function of newborns was assessed. The neurodevelopment after neonatal period was also evaluated. Results The brain in infants of diabetic mathers was immature.The average values of grey density in thalami (76.92?6.60) were significantly lower in full term infants of diabetic mathers than that of the infants of non-diabetic mathers (84.72?6.35). These were also obvious in white matters of frontal lobe [(62.68?5.21) vs (67.60?4.09)] and occipital lobe [(73.39?5.67) vs (78.61?2.95)] (P

Objective To investigate and analyze the application and effect of the course of Labo-ratory diagnostics in general medical training from the Navy physicians. Methods 37 students attending the general medical training in our university in September 2015 were selected as the subject. At the end of the course, the “Questionnaire Survey on Teaching Feedback” was designed and conducted among them to understand the students'!opinions on the arrangement, teaching content and teaching methods of the experi-mental diagnostics. A total of 37 questionnaires were issued and retrieved effectively and the survey data were collected and summarized. Results Among 37 questionnaires, 100%of trainees (n=37) thought it was necessary to set up the Laboratory diagnostics course in the general medical training, 72.9%(n=27) suggested 3 to 4 teaching hours, and on the demand side of teaching content settings, 91.9%(n=34) chose analyses of blood, urine, stool routine tests and then tests of liver and kidney function. The proportions of students to recommend theory teaching, case discussion and practice operation were 24.3% (n=9), 51.4% (n=19) and 48.6% (n=18) respectively. Conclusions The setup of the Laboratory diagnostics course plays an active role in the general medical training from navy physicians. In the future, according to the demand of the general medical training, teachers should optimize the teaching contents and learning hours, improve the teaching methods and enhance the training quality.

Objective To construct a luciferase reporter vector containing the 3′untranslated region (3′UTR) of nuclear factor I-C (nuclear factor I-C, Nfic), and apply dual luciferase reporter gene system to determine the association between microRNA-20a (miR-20a) and its potential target gene Nfic. Methods The potential complementary binding sites of miR-20a and Nfic were predicted by Targetscan. The 3′UTR of Nfic fragment amplified by PCR was cloned into luciferase reporter vector MIR- Report Luciferase. The luciferase reporters containing 3′ UTR of Nfic and miR- 20 mimics (experimental group) or NC mimics (control group) were co-transfected into 293-AD cells. Cells were collected, and then dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to detect the luciferase activity of the two groups of cells, consequently the relationship between miR-20a and Nfic was identified. The miR-20a mimics and NC mimics were transfected into marrow stromal cell line ST2 respectively. The total cell lysates were collected, and the expression level of NFIC was detected by Western blotting assay. Results Results of double enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing showed that sequence of luciferase reporter vector was correct. miR-20a specificity bounded to Nfic 3′UTR and inhibited the luciferase activity of the reporter construct (P<0.05). Western blotting assay showed that the NFIC protein level was obviously down-regulated in ST2 cells after the transfection of miR-20a mimics compared with that of control. Conclusion The luciferase reporter vector containing the 3′UTR of Nfic is constructed successfully, which confirms that miR-20a can direct effect on Nfic3′UTR and repress its luciferase activity.
