Objective:To explore the methods for drug therapy regimen formulation and pharmaceutical service of clinical pharma-cists for the infection induced by peripherally inserted central catheter ( PICC) complicated with deep venous thrombosis in cancer pa-tients. Methods:Referring to the related guide, clinical pharmacists put forward concrete opinions on how to choose anti-infective drugs and anti-thrombotic drugs for a cancer patient with PICC infection complicated with deep venous thrombosis. Clinical pharmacists sug-gested that vancomycin be used for the infection and low molecular weight heparin sodium for prophylactic anticoagulation. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical care for blood clotting function should be strengthened. Results:The proposals of clinical pharmacist were partly adopt-ed by clinicians. After the therapy, the temperature of the patient returned to normal, and the deep venous thrombosis was well con-trolled. The patient was out of hospital smoothly. Conclusion:Through the participation in clinical practice, clinical pharmacists can assist physicians in optimizing treatment plan and summarize the pharmaceutical care mode for the PICC infection and deep venous thrombosis in cancer patients, which can provide instructions for pharmaceutical care in the future.

Serum pepsinogen(PG)is an effective marker for evaluating gastric mucosa function and can be used as a supplement for screening and early diagnosis of gastric cancer. Recently,serum PG has become a hot spot of study in portal hypertensive gastropathy and functional dyspepsia. Serum PG detection is a noninvasive,simple and low cost investigation method with marked clinical value. This article reviewed the value of serum PG detection in warning gastric cancer and evaluating gastric mucosa function.

ObjectiveTo study the single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) in the ORF26 gene of HHV-8 in Kaposi's sarcoma(KS),and to assess their correlations with the clinical phenotype and mucosal invasion of KS.MethodsHHV-8 DNA was extracted with phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol from paraffin-embedded tissue specimens obtained from 32 cases of KS(including 26 classic and 6 AIDS-related KS).The ORF26 gene of HHV-8 was amplified by nested-PCR followed by bidirectional sequencing.The software DNAStar and program Clustal W were used to assess the SNPs in the ORF26 gene.Statistical analysis was carried out by using the Fisher's exact probability test.ResultsHHV-8 DNA was detected in 30 of the 32 tissue specimens,and in all of the 6 AIDS-related specimens.The predominant SNPs were 981 T/C(n =12),1086 C/T(n =12) and 1139 A/C(n =12) in the ORF26 gene of the 30 strains of HHV-8.No significant difference was observed in the distribution of SNPs in ORF26 between different phenotypes of KS or between KS with and without mucosal invasion.ConclusionThe ORF26 SNPs of HHV-8 seem unrelated to the clinical phenotypes or mucosal invasion of KS.

Thirty mothers of four dadys later after delivery with agalactia, whose babies needed additional milk over one third of physiological needs, or agalorrhea were chosen to take 125 g of MUYINGLE divided into 3 parts a day for observing its lactigenous effect, and thirty other agalactous mothers, who might chose any kind of traditional Chinese lactagogue foods to eat, as control group. Those subjects whose babie's additional milk was less than one fourth or half of physiolgical needs for agalactia or agalorrhea respectively after four days with MUYINGLE were effectual. The results showed that the lactagogue efficacious rate of MUYINGLE and control group were 86. 7% and 33. 3%, respectively. The lactagogue effects were significant difference between the two groups (P

Background:More and more evidences suggest that microRNA plays an important role in the development of gastric cancer (GC).Expression of miR-129 in GC tissues is found abnormal, however, the mechanism of miR-129 in cell proliferation and invasion is still undefined.Aims:To investigate the expression of miR-129 in GC tissue and GC cell lines and the mechanism of miR-129 in proliferation and invasion of SGC-7901 cells.Methods:Eighty-two GC tissues and corresponding paracancerous tissues were collected, human gastric epithelial cell line and different GC cell lines were cultured, qPCR was conducted to assess miR-129 expression.SGC-7901 cells were transfected with miR-129 mimic or miR-NC, and then were transfected with overexpressed HMGA2 plasmid.Colony formation assay was used to detect cell proliferation ability, and Transwell chamber was used to assess cell invasion ability.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between miR-129 and HMGA2 mRNA expression.Luciferase assay was performed to determine the activity of luciferase.mRNA and protein expressions of miR-129, HMGA2 were determined by qPCR and Western blotting, respectively.Results:Compared with paracancerous tissues, expression of miR-129 was significantly decreased in GC tissues (P<0.05);when compared with human gastric epithelial cells, expression of miR-129 was significantly decreased in GC cell lines (P<0.05).Compared with miR-NC group, proliferation and invasion abilities of SGC-7901 cells were inhibited in miR-129 mimic group (P<0.05).HMGA2 mRNA expression in GC tissues was significantly upregulated (P<0.05), and was negatively correlated with miR-129 expression (r=-0.543 9, P<0.01).Luciferase activity in wild-type miR-129 mimic group was significantly lower than that in miR-NC group (P<0.05);mRNA and protein expressions of HMGA2 were decreased after transfection with miR-129 mimic (P<0.05).Compared with miR-129+vector group, proliferation and invasion of SGC-7901 cells were significantly increased in miR-129 mimic+HMGA2 group (P<0.05).Conclusions:The expression of miR-129 is decreased in GC tissue and cells;miR-129 inhibits SGC-7901 cells proliferation and invasion by negatively regulating HMGA2.

Syndromes-genome research performed eight years ago, has made a series of achievements. At the same time,there are still many problems which have to be solved. Based on the research experience, six major problems were summed up, such as difficult to refine into a sample, difficult to sample, difficult to analysis mass data, difficult to combine TCM with western medicine disease, difficult to dock and function between TCM theory and genes, difficult to apply the result of Syndrome- genomics. In this paper, the author also put forward possible new strategies, such as establishing the characteristics of the gene database, combining with the known gene functions likely to explain the evidence of the mechanism for the realization of the modernization of TCM theory, speeding up the unknown gene research, occupying gene annotation territories.
