Objective:To analyze the therapeutic effect and safety of finasteride on aged patients with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH)complicated benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods:A total of 84 aged ISH + BPH pa-tients admitted from Jun 2011 to May 2013 were selected.According to medication plan,they were divided into fin-asteride group (n=44)and routine treatment group (n=40,only received routine treatment because they cannot use finasteride).Course of treatment was all six months.International prostate symptom score (IPSS),quality of life (QOL) questionnaire score,prostate-specific antigen (PSA),incidence rate of acute urinary retention,maximum u-rinary flow rate (Qmax),postvoid residual urine (PRV),prostate volume (PV)and incidence rate of adverse reac-tions were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with routine treatment group,there were significant reductions in IPSS [(13.2±2.4)scores vs.(9.4±1.1)scores],PRV [(21.4±4.6)ml vs.(9.0±2.3)ml],PV [(36.8±3.8)ml vs.(29.5±3.0)ml],PSA [(2.45±0.74)μg/L vs.(1.26±0.48)μg/L]and incidence rate of acute urinary retention (17.50% vs.9.09%),P<0.05 or <0.01,and significant increase in Qmax [(10.2±2.4) ml vs.(13.7±3.8)ml]and QOL score [(3.1±1.0)scores vs.(4.7±1.5)scores]in finasteride group (P<0.05). There were no significant difference in incidence rates of adverse reactions between two groups,P>0.05 all.Con-clusion:Therapeutic effect of finasteride is significant and adverse reactions don’ t increase significantly in aged pa-tients with isolated systolic hypertension complicated benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Vectors used to carry foreign genes play an important role in gene therapy, among which, the adeno-associated virus (AAV) has many advantages, such as nonpathogenicity, low immunogenicity, stable and long-term expression and multiple-tissue-type infection, etc. These advantages have made AAV one of the most potential vectors in gene therapy, and widely used in many clinical researches, for example, Parkinson's disease. This paper introduces the biological characteristics of AAV and the latest research progress of AAV carrying neurotrophic factor, dopamine synthesis related enzymes and glutamic acid decarboxylase gene in the gene therapy of Parkinson's disease.

Objective To construct a bicistronic retrovirus expression vector to coexpress Delta1 and EGFP genes. Methods Delta1-IRES-EGFP bicistronic retrovirus vector was constructed by linking full-length Delta1 cDNA with IRES-EGFP retrovirus vector. Transfected with the retrovirus vector by electroporation, the ecotropic- and amphotropic-packaging cell lines GP+E86 and PA317 were selected by addition of puromycin. Positive cell clones were obtained and tested for the efficiency of the retroviral supernatants. Two positive cell clones with relatively highest titers were picked up and used for ping-pong amplification assay to improve the retroviral supernatants titer. At day 2 after transfection, GFP expression in NIH3T3 was detected by FACS, and Delta1 expression was determined by RT-PCR assay. Transfected or wild type NIH3T3 were co-cultured with myoblasts cell line C2C12 to test whether the exogenous Delta1 protein was functional or not. Results The bicistronic retrovirus expression vector coexpressing Delta1 and EGFP genes was successfully constructed and verified by PCR and DNA sequencing. A high-level expression of functional Delta protein was detected in transfected NIH3T3 cells. Conclusion Retrovirus is a safe, highly efficient gene transfer system.

Objective To study the application of retrograde puncture in intravenous transfusion for patients with galactophore cancer. Methods Self compare was adopted,30 cases with galactophore cancer which have put up four cycles intravenous chemotherapy in all 120 intravenous punctures were divided into observation group and control group. Observation group adopted retrograde puncture; control group were given traditional operation. Smooth transfu-sion and the rate of phlebitis and comfort in intravenous chemotherapy in two groups were compared. Results There are significandy different in two groups, observation group is higher in smooth transfusion and comfort (P < 0.05), low-er the rate of phlebitis (P < 0.01) than that of control group. Conclusion Retrograde puncture had good effect in in-travenoas chemotherapy of galactophore cancer,it may be generalized.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for developing the implementation path of patent standardization for pharmaceuti-cal industry. METHODS:For the situation that pharmaceutical industry is still in the exploratory stage and lacks of viable experi-ence,the mature experiences of electronic communication industry in patent leading standardization implementation,authoritative organizations helping implementing patent standardization and industry alliance to promote the development of patent standardiza-tion were used as reference,combining with standard development cycle,trying to develop the implementation path of patent stan-dardization that met characteristics of pharmaceutical industry. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The implementation path of patent standardization for pharmaceutical industry was divided into standard formation stage,promotion stage and upgrade stage. The main path in each stage was from patent to registration standards officially formed,guiding by policies and regulations of Food and Drug Administration to conduct standard promote by drug generation,and upgrading the drug standard by patent replacement.

Objective To understand the biological characteristicsand drug resistance of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from neonatal clinic and the nose swabs of medical staff in the neonatal department.Methods Twenty-six strains of MRSA clinically isolated from the neonatal department and the nose swabs of medical staff in this department were collected and performed the multilocus sequence typing (MLST),spa typing, staphylococcus cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) typing.The Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene was simultaneously detected.The antimicrobial susceptibility test of 14 antibacterial dugs was performed.Results Among 26 strains of MRSA,53.8% was isolated from sputum,2 strains were detected from the nase swab of medical staff.The MLST type had 5 types,ST59 accounted for 76.9%.The spa type had 8 types,t437 acoounted for 65.4%.the SCCmec type had only 2 types,20 strains were SCCmecⅣ(76.9%,20/26) and 4 strains(15.4%) were SCCmecV.In the PLV gene detection,the PVL positive rate was 15.4%.One strain of MRSA from the nose swabs of medical staff in the neonatal department was100% homologous with 1 strain from the patient by PFGE analysis.The drug susceptibility test results showed that all MRSA strains were 100% sensitive to antibacterial drugs of nitrofurantoin,quinupristin/dalfopristin,vancomycin and quinolone,while had higher resistance rates to tetracycline,erythromycin and clindamycin,which were above 50%.Conclusion In MRSA strains isolated from the neonatal department in this study,the most common clones were MRSA-ST59-SCCmecⅣ-t437.Erythromycin and clindamycin should not be preferred in the empiric treatment of newborn MRSA.
