The objective of the medical students’ education cost control is to reasonably reduce the education cost differences caused by mismanagement and insufficient investment. The budget is an important tool for the control;the elabrate cost accounting is the essential information condition for the control. It is proposed that enhancing the control power must clear responsibility cost, the education quality cost is guaranteed through both increasing income and reducing expenditure.

Brazilein is one of the active ingredients of a Chinese medicine Caesalpinia sappan L. This study was aimed to test the vasodilator effect of brazilein on vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro from the perspective of molecular biology. The results showed that brazilein mainly acted through the influence of potassium ion channels, reducing membrane depolarization in order to affect the vessel relaxation. This effect can be influenced by blocking 5-HT receptor, and, simultaneously, correlating with the regulation of intracellular calcium ion concentration, affecting calmodulin and downregulating MLCP. In addition, the alterations of cAMP, PKA and PGI2 were involved in the pharmacological process of brazilein.

OBJECTIVETo screen the active component of Wuzhuyutang (WZYT, Evodiae prescription) and investigate the regulatory effects of the components in WZYT on the TPH2 promoter, and to explore the possible molecular mechanism of WZYT on migraine.
METHODBy transfecting a TPH2 promoter regulating Red Fluorescent Protein expressing plasmid into PC12 cell, the global fluorescence intensities and calculations of fluorescent cells after components treatment were statistically evaluated.
RESULTDifferent regulatory effects of different components in WZYT with different concentrations on TPH2 promoter were observed.
CONCLUSIONTPH2 promoter drove Red Fluorescent Protein expressing cell line can be used as system screening components targeting TPH2 promoter activity. The possible mechanism of WZYT on migraine may due to its stimulating effects on TPH2 promoter, and promote the synthesis and release of 5-HT in cerebral.

A series of new monobactam sulfonates is continuously synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial efficacies against Gram-negative bacteria. Compound 33a (IMBZ18G) is highly effective in vitro and in vivo against clinically intractable multi-drug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative strains, with a highly druglike nature. The checkerboard assay reveals its significant synergistic effect with β-lactamase inhibitor avibactam, and the MIC values against MDR enterobacteria were reduced up to 4-512 folds. X-ray co-crystal and chemoproteomic assays indicate that the anti-MDR bacteria effect of 33a results from the dual inhibition of the common PBP3 and some class A and C β-lactamases. Accordingly, preclinical studies of 33a alone and 33a‒avibactam combination as potential innovative candidates are actively going on, in the treatment of β-lactamase-producing MDR Gram-negative bacterial infections.
