The overuse of injection exists more than 20 years since economic reform in China. It is a persistent problem and seems becoming a new challenge in the new health reform period. This study was designed to assess the effect of national essential medicines policy (NEMP) on injection use at primary health facilities in China by investigating their prescription information. Questionnaires were designed and disseminated to collect empirical data on injection use at 120 primary health facilities in 6 provinces from January to September in 2010 and 2011. The injection use was measured as the indicator as the percentage of prescriptions with one or more injections. The results showed that the percentage of prescriptions with one or more injections was decreased from 38.91% to 36.82% (χ (2)=11.158, P=0.001) in the all survey areas during the NEMP reform. The difference in level of the injection use in 2011 was significant among the eastern, central and western regions (χ (2)=223.584, P=0.000); level of the injection use in western region was the lowest (27.73%), while that in the central region was the highest (43.10%). The level of the injection use in 2011 among different provinces was also of great difference (26.00%-58.25%, range: 32.25%). The level of the injection use in 2011 was still much higher than the standard suggested by WHO for developing countries (13.4%-24.1%). It was concluded that NEMP has improved injection use in China, but the injection abuse situation remains serious, indicating that one of the priorities to the next stage of NEMP is to promote the rational use of drugs, especially the injection use.

Objective To observe the expression of Frizzled protein in mouse tooth germ at bell stage and explore the possible function of Wnt/Frizzled signal molecules. Methods Mouse embryos at 17 and 19 days of gestation (E17 and E19) as well as mice postnatal day 2 (PN2) were employed in our study. The frozen sections of the first lower molar were made and indirect immunofluorescence technique was carried out on the sections. The location of Frizzled protein was observed under the fluorescence microscope. Results Frizzled protein was expressed weakly in the inner- and outer- dental epithelium at E17. At E19,the positive staining was found to distribute at the summit of both pre-ameloblasts and pre-odontoblasts. At P2,Frizzled protein was expressed strongly at the summit of ameloblasts and odontoblasts. Conclusion Wnt/Frizzled signal molecules may be involved in the differentiation of ameloblasts and odontoblasts.

Objective To evaluate the effects of a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution on serum glucose, pancreas islet function and inflammatory response in elderly patients after abdominal operation.Methods It was a prospective, randomized, double-blinded and controlled trial. Totally 40 elderly patients after abdominal operation who met the defined criteria were enrolled. The subjects in study group were administered with 1000 ml carbohydrate-electrolyte solution intravenously in consecutive three days since 1st or 2nd postoperative day. Control group was administered with 1000 ml of 10% glucose on the same method. The changes of serum glucose, insulin, C-peptide and inflammatory response cytokine (IL-6, TNF-α, CRP) were detected before and after injection.Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was observed.Results All the 40 patients completed the study according to the study protocol. The incremental rate of serum glucose was significantly lower in study group than in control group on the 2nd and 3rd day after administration [(4.40±2.58) mmol/L vs. (14.97±3.44) mmol/L, t=2.984, P=0.008; (2.70± 1.55) mmol/L vs. (8.11± 2.60) mmol/L, t= 5.659, P= 0.000]. The changes of insulin and C-peptide of two group were similar before and after operation. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly lower in study group than in control group on the 3rd day after administration[IL-6: (21.76±10.40) ng/Lvs. (50.17±35.24) ng/L, t=-2.447, P=0.034; TNF-α:(23.92±14.89) ng/L vs. (51.48±42.81) ng/L, t=-2.268, P=0.043]. In study group, 6 cases experienced SIRS and 4 cases had infective complications, but in control group the numbers were 8 and 6 respectively.Conclusions Appropriate application of carbohydrate-electrolyte solution intravenously has relatively mild effects on serum glucose and inflammatory response cytokine in elderly patients after abdominal operation, it decreases incidence of SIRS and maybe decrease infective complications.

PURPOSE: It is well documented that natural killer (NK) cytotoxicity against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells is impaired in HCC, which might account for the failure of anti-tumor immune response. miRNAs are considered as important regulators for the development and functions of NK cells. However, the entire role of miR-506 in NK cells remains far from being addressed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The expressions of miR-506 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) mRNA in primary NK cells from HCC patients and healthy controls were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. NK cell cytotoxicity was assessed by CFSE/7AAD cytotoxicity assay and lactate dehydrogenase assay. Luciferase reporter assay, RNA immunoprecipitation assay, and western blot were conducted to confirm the interaction between miR-506 and STAT3. RESULTS: miR-506 expression was downregulated and STAT3 mRNA was upregulated in primary NK cells from HCC patients. Primary NK cells from HCC patients showed remarkably reduced cytotoxicity against SMMC7721 or HepG2 cells. NK cell cytotoxicity was positively correlated with miR-506 expression and negatively correlated with STAT3 mRNA expression. Additionally, miR-506 overexpression enhanced NK cell cytotoxicity against HCC cells, while miR-506 inhibitor showed the reverse effect. Moreover, miR-506 could suppress STAT3 expression by directly targeting 3′-untranslated regions of STAT3. A negative correlation between miR-506 and STAT3 mRNA expression in HCC patients was observed. Mechanistically, overexpressing STAT3 greatly reversed miR-506-mediated promotion of NK cell cytotoxicity against HCC cells. CONCLUSION: miR-506 enhanced NK cell cytotoxicity against HCC cells by targeting STAT3, suggesting that modulating miR-506 expression maybe a promising approach for enhancing NK cell-based antitumor therapies.
