Chinese patent medicine with double identity was a special phenomenon, and many preparations not only were prescription drugs but also over the counter ( OTC) drugs, which brought a lot of trouble. Based on statistics of list of OTC medicines of CFDA, related varieties, route of administration and functions of these drugs were searched. The causes of insufficient were analyzed and the potential risk was investigated. To ensure the safety of drug usage for the patient, risk management system should be set up by improving the technical requirements for registration, improving the drug labels and manuals, playing the role of pharmacists in pharmacy services and raising awareness of doctor and patient for these drugs.

OBJECTIVETo study operative effects for the treatment of multiple ligament injuries of knee joints.
METHODSFrom 2008 to 2013, 26 patients (17 males and 9 females) with multiple ligament injuries of knee joints were treated surgically. The average age was 40.7 years old, ranging from 29 to 55 years old. All the patients were treated with arthroscopic reconstruction of cruiate ligament with autogenous or allogeneic hamstrings and tendon, and at the same time received repair of medial collateral ligament and lateral collateral ligament, as well as the treatment of exterior and interior complex injuries. Nine patients received second stage operation after the initial operation for mistake or missed diagnosis, and other patients were treated at the first stage. The Lysholm scoring system was used to evaluate function and stability of knee joints before and after operation.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up for an average duration of 1.6 years (ranged, 0.8 to 3.2 years). The mean awaiting time for operation was 1.2 months. The Lysholm score was improved from preoperative 42.5 +/- 4.5 (ranged, 33 to 48) to the latest follow-up 78.1 +/- 3.9 (ranged, 57 to 95). The function of knee joint was improved obviously in the arthroscopic reconstruction patients, with joint range of motion exceeding 900 and with Varus & Valgus tests near to normal. All the patients had negative findings in the Lachman test at 70 degrees of flexion.
CONCLUSIONArthroscopic reconstruction should be the first choice in treating multiple ligament injuries of knee joints. If the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament injuries can't be treated simultaneously, the posterior cruciate ligament injuries should be treated preferentially at the first stage and the anterior cruciate ligament injuries should be treated at the second stage. The diagnosis of posterior cruciate ligament is easy to be missed.

AIM To investigate the effect of paeonol on proliferation and apoptosis of K 562. METHODS The inhibitory effect of paeonol on K 562 cells proliferation was assayed by MTT dye reduction. HE staining were used to observe the morphology of apoptotic cells, and Flow cytometric analysis were also used to analyze the K 562 apoptosis. RESULTS Pae at the concentration of 7.81~250 mg?L -1 significantly inhibited proliferation of K 562 cells in dose-dependent manner. Typical apoptotic changes were observed in K 562 cells under the light microscope. By FCM methods, the apoptotic rates of K 562 cells were increased from 10.01% to 34.16% after treatment of Pae at concentrations from 7.81 to 125 mg?L -1 for 24 h, which showed obvious concentration-effect relationship. The apoptotic rates of K 562 cells were also increased when Pae (6.25, 25 and 100 mg?L -1) was treated for 6, 12 and 24 h, which showed obvious time-effect relationship. CONCLUSION Paeonol may inhibit K 562 cell proliferation and induce its apoptosis.

The promoter of mitochondria-localized small heat shock protein gene in Lycopersicon esculentum (Lehsp23.8) is characterized as strongly heat-inducible. In this study, to determine how the expression of Lehsp23.8 is regulated, we conducted five expression vectors carrying the gus gene driven by the 5' deletion products of the Lehsp23.8 promoter. The corresponding transgenic tobacco plants were generated via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Transgenic plants were identified by PCR and Southern blotting analysis. GUS activities under heat-shock conditions were characterized in transgenic tobacco plants. After heat shock, obvious GUS staining was detected in the leaves, shoots, roots, flowers and fruits of the transgenic tobacco plants. The result of fluorometric GUS assays in leaves showed that the heat-induced GUS activity of the 565 bp promoter was the strongest, while that of the 255 bp promoter was the lowest. Deletion analysis shows that the smallest promoter fragment (-255 bp to -23 bp) is sufficient for heat induction. It also indicates that the sequences between -255 bp and -565 bp serve as enhancers, while the sequences between -565 bp and -871 bp can repress the heat-induced activity of the Lehsp23.8 promoter.

Objective To observe the circadian rhythm of blood pressure and investigate the impact of Norvasc and Tanatril administrated at different time points based on the theory of time therapeutics in hypertensive patients. Methods The 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure was monitored in 130 inpatients and outpatients with grade 3 or 2 hypertension from May 2008 to November 2009. A total of 34 dipper hypertensive patients were grouped into dipper blood pressure group and 5 mg/d of Norvasc and Tanatril were taken by them at 6:00 AM. A total of 96 nondipper hypertensive patients were further divided into three subgroups after adjustment for age and gender: 5 mg/d of Norvasc and Tanatril were taken by group I (n = 30) at 6:00 AM; 5 mg/d of Tanatril at 6:00 AM and 5 mg/d of Norvasc at 18:00 PM by group Ⅱ (n = 32); 5 mg/d of Norvasc at 6:00 AM and 5 mg/d of Tanatrilat 18:00 PM by group Ⅲ(n=34).The 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed again after four weeks treatment and 24-hour mean systolic blood pressure(24 hSBP),24-hour mean diastolic blood pressure(24 hDBP),daytime and nighttime mean systolic blood pressure(dSBP,nSBP)and daytime and nighttime mean diastolic blood pressure(dDBP,nDBP),were analyzed.Results The 24 hSBP,24 hDBP and dSBP,and dDBP were reduced from(154.3±5.6),(95.4±3.1),(158.7±6.5),(99.6±3.7)mmHg to(137.2±3.9),(82.5±2.7),(139.7±3.8),(85.2±3.5)mmHg,respectively,in dipper blood pressure group(t=2.124,2.356,2.278,2.449,all P<0.05).The 24 hSBP and 24 hDBP of the three groups in nondipper blood pressure were decreased from(154.4±6.1),(156.7±6.7),(156.6±5.2),(95.8±2.8),(94.9±3.8),(95.7±3.2)mmHg to (139.6±4.1),(134.5±4.6),(133.4±3.5),(83.5±4.2),(80.8±5.6),(81.6±4.7)mmHg,respectively(t=2.038,2.040,2.135,2.142,2.213,2.216,all P<0.05).dSBP and dDBP were decreased from(158.6±3.50),(158.4±5.6),(159.5±4.),(98.4±3.7),(99.6±3.7),(83.9±5.2)mmHg to(138.9±5.4),(136.7±4.1),(137.4±6.4),(85.8±5.3),(83.6±5.1),(83.9±5.2)mmHg,respectively(t=2.021,2.252,2.261,2.217,2.167,2.076,all P<0.05).nSBP and nDBP were decreased from(146.7±6.9),(149.8±3.9),(150.2±4.1),(93.7±4.2),(95.7±4.3),(93.4±3.3)mmHg to(133.7±4.6),(129.8±5.7),(127.6±2.8),(87.8±2.9),(78.5±6.4),(77.8±4.8)mmHg,respectively(t=1.798,2.032,2.014,1.864,2.157,2.166,all P<0.05).There were significant differences in nSBP and nDBP among all groups after treatment(F=2.32,2.17,all P<0.05),and the effect of the drugs was better in groug Ⅱ and Ⅲ than in group Ⅰ(q=3.17,4.03,3.32,4.19,all P<0.05),but there were no significant differences between group Ⅱ and Ⅲ(P>0.05).Conclusions Blood pressure can be controlled effectively by taking two antihypertensive medictions in the morning in hypertensive dipper patient but the blood pressure of nondipper hypertensive patients were able to be controlled more efficiently by taking the two antihypertensive medictions separately in the morning and at the evening compared with that taking the two drugs together in the morning.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the clinical effects and characteristics of combined transperineal and transpubic urethroplasty for patients with complex pelvic fracture urethral distraction defect (PFUDD).
METHODS:
We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 17 male patients with complex posterior PFUDD from January 2010 to December 2019. The complications included urethrorectal fistulas in 2 patients (11.8%), urethroperineal fistula in 1 patient (5.9%). Ten patients had undergone previous treatments: dilatation in 3 patients (17.6%), internal urethrotomy in 1 patient, failed urethroplasty in 6 patients (35.3%), of whom 2 patients had two times of failed urethroplasties. All the patients were performed with urethroplasty by combined transperineal and transpubic approach with removing the entire pubic bone followed by the anastomosis.
RESULTS:
The mean age of the patients included in this study was 35.5 (range: 21-62) years. The mean length of stricture was 5.5 (range: 4.5-7.0) cm, the mean follow-up was 27 (range: 7-110) months, the mean time of operation was 190 (range: 150-260) min, the mean evaluated blood loss was 460 (range: 200-1 200) mL. There were 5 patients who needed blood transfusion intraoperatively or postoperatively. Wound infection was seen in 4 out of 17 patients and thrombosis of lower extremities in 1 out of 17 patients. The last follow-up showed that the mean postoperative maximum urinary flow rate was 22.7 (range: 15.5-40.7) mL/s. After removing the catheter, one patient presented with decreased urinary flow and symptoms of urinary infection. Cystoscopy showed the recurrent anastomotic stricture, which was cured by internal urethrotomy. In our series, the success rate of the combined transperineal and transpubic urethroplasty was 94.1% (16/17).
CONCLUSION
Combined transperineal and transpubic urtheroplasty can achieve a tension free anastomosis after removing the entire wedge of pubis in some patients with complex PFUDD. However, this procedure should be completed in a regional referral hospital due to the complexity of the operation and the high percentage of complications.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association between the anti-atherosclerotic effects of amlodipine and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in elderly essential hypertensive (EH) patients.
METHODSA total of 220 EH patients were treated with amlodipine (2.5 - 10 mg, once daily) for twelve months and complete data were obtained from 208 patients with genotypes of II (n = 90), ID (n = 91) and DD (n = 27). The indices of carotid arterial were compared before and post amlodipine treatment in patients with identical genotype and among different ACE genotypes and each genotype post therapy.
RESULTSThe carotid mean intimal-medial thickness (MIMT) was slightly decreased in EH patients with ID and DD genotypes and significantly decreased in EH patients with II genotype (0.96 +/- 0.12 vs. 0.92 +/- 0.13, P < 0.01) compared to pre-treatment values. The decreased degree of MIMT (DeltaMIMT) in II genotype was significantly higher in II genotype than those in ID or DD genotype (0.05 +/- 0.03 vs. 0.01 +/- 0.02, 0.01 +/- 0.03 respectively, P < 0.01). The post treatment plaque score (PS) in patients with II genotype was significantly reduced (4.85 +/- 2.51 vs. 3.90 +/- 2.36, P < 0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed the baseline SBP, the decreased degree of SBP (DeltaSBP) and the II genotype were the major factors affecting the DeltaMIMT.
CONCLUSIONHypertensive patients carrying II genotype ACE genotype are the best responders for the anti-atherosclerotic effects of amlodipine.
