2.Comparision of Relief Fund System for Adverse Drug Reactions in Japan and Taiwan Area and the En-lightenment to China
China Pharmacy 2017;28(22):3036-3039
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for constructing relief fund system for adverse drug reactions(ADR)in China. METHODS:Referring to the ADR damage relief system in Japan and Taiwan area of China,comparative study was conducted from aspects of the legal basis of the fund establishment,the nature of the authority,financing sources and ratio,relief efforts,etc. And rationalization suggestions were put forward for constructing the relief fund system for ADR in China. RESULTS & CONCLU-SIONS:The ADR damage relief fund system of Japan and Taiwan area of China was established by the law. However,due to dif-ferent administrative system,financing sources and ratio,and relief efforts,there were some similarities (setting related laws, showing similarities in the partnerships between authorities and its health departments)and differences(the nature of fund authori-ties were independent administrative body in Japan,independent corporation in Taiwan area of China and so on)in the elements of the financing model. When constructing the ADR relief fund system,China should accelerate the relevant legislation;the govern-ment should reasonably arrange fund management agency,gradually establish ADR damage relief fund step by step,enhance the public awareness of ADR damage relief fund and establish diversified financing modes with enterprise-based payment.

Objective To analyze the antiangiogenic effect of stereotatic radiosurgery (SRS) in rat C6 gliomas using MR perfusion imaging(PWI) technique. Methods Twenty rats implanted with C6 glioma cells in the brain were randomly assigned into group A (without any therapy) and group B which underwent SRS therapy 4 weeks after implantation. PWI was performed to measure the regional cerebral blood volume (rCBV) and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in tumor's region before therapy in all rats and 1 week later in group B. PWI sequence was applied pre-and post--inhalation of a mixture of 10% CO_2 and 90% air. rCBV and rCBF were analyzed. PaCO_2 and blood PH values were monitored before and aftermixed gas inhalation. All the MRI examination were car-ried out at a 3.0T magnet. The rats were sacrificed after MRI examination. Microvessel density (MVD) and number of mature ves-sels (with muscle layer) were measured histologically using immunohistochemical staining for factorⅧ and smooth muscle actin (SMA). PWI data, and pathological results were analyzed statistically. Results The size of tumors in group B remarkably de-creased with obvious necrotic area in the center 1 week after SRS therapy. PH value decreased and PaCO_2 increased significantly af-ter mixed gas inhalation. Blood gas data changes in group B were not significantly different from that in group A. The rCBV and rCBF of tumor's core in group B declined greatly after SRS treatment. The necrotic area was dark in rCBV and rCBF maps, that suggested no blood supply in this region. After therapy, the changing rate of rCBV and rCBF pre-and post-inhalation of gas in group B was greater than those in group A. The MVD of tumors in group B after treatment was sta-tistically less than that in group A. The number of SMA positively stained vessels in group B was nearly equal to that in group A. The percentage of SMA(+)/MVD in group B was significantly higher than that in group A. Conclusion SRS can inhibit the angiogenesis of rat C6 glioma, however vessels with smooth muscle cells are insensitive to SRS.

Objective To study the average ADC and eADC values in the C6 glioma regions and the contralateralnormal caudate nucleus of rat C6 glioma models on 3.0Tesla MR.Methods 32 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighted 250~300 g, were injected with C6 cells in right candate nucleus. All subjects were examined with MR imaging, including conventional and diffusion-weighted imaging with two b values ( 0 and 1000 s/mm~2 ) at 3.0T . ADC and eADC values were determined on ADC and eADC maps . Results The average ADC values in the C6 glioma regions and the contralateral normal caudate nucleus were(0.805?0.12)?10~ -3 mm~2/s and( 0.666?0.13 )?10~ -3 mm~2/s respectively ; the average eADC values in the C6 glioma regions and the contralateral normal caudate nucleus were (0.451?0.06) and (0.519?0.08) respectively. The difference of average ADC and eADC value between C6 glioma region and the contralateral normal caudate nucleus is significant. Conclusion It is feasible to do DWI in rat C6 glioma model with 3.0T MR and the ADC and eADC values measured in C6 glioma model can be used for reference in future studies.

Objective To evaluate the value and limitation of MRI in the diagnosis of meningovascular neurosyphilis. Methods Five cases of neurosyphilis confirmed by clinical history/laboratory were examined with MRI (3 plain MRI, 2 enhanced MRI). The results of blood and CSF TPPA/RPR were positive and HIV was negative. Results Abnormal signals were demonstrated in the temporal lobe in 3 cases, and infarction was revealed in the basal ganglion and periventricular white matter in another 2 cases. There was no marked contrast enhancement in the 2 cases. Conclusion Meningovascular neurosyphilis has no characteristic features on MRI, but MRI is an effective method in delineating the size, range, and characters of neurosyphilis, and it is also an useful modality to follow-up after antibiotic therapy.

Objective To study the association between serum total IgE level and β2-adrenoreceptor polymorphism (β2-AR) in asthmatic patients. Methods ELISA was used to determine serum total IgE and AS-PCR was used to determine β2-adrenoreceptor polymor- phism in 44 asthmatic patients. Results In β2-AR 16 locus genotype, the distribution frequencies of Arg/Arg, Gly/Gly showed increasing tendency, whereas Arg/Gly showed decreasing tendency, in normal serum total IgE group and increased serum total IgE group. But there was no significant difference between this two groups. In β2- AR 27 locus genotype, the distribution frequency of Gln/Gln genotype accounts for 76.2% and Gln/Glu genotype for 19.0% in increased serum total IgE group, while Gln/Gln genotype accounts for 9.0% and Gln/Glu geno- type for 73.9% in normal serum total IgE group. There was significant difference between two groups ( P<0.01 ). Conclusions Serum total IgE was correlated with β2-AR 27 locus genetic polymorphism, which may contribute to understand the mechanism of asthma in the peo- ple of the Han nationality in GuiZhou.
