OBJECTIVE:To investigate the inhibitory effect of ligustrazine on the formation of macrophage-derived foam cells and its possible mechanism. METHODS:Human acute mononuclear cells (THP-1) were incubated with 160 nmol/L phorbol ester (PMA) for 24 h to differentiate into macrophages;and the macrophages were incubated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)culture solution containing 80 mg/L for 24 h to differentiate into macrophage-derived foam cells. And then the cells were randomly divided into blank control group(ox-LDL),model(AngⅡ)group,positive control(valsartan)group,and ligustrazine low,medium and high concentration groups(the mass concentration were 0.025,0.05 and 0.1 g/L). After all cells were respective-ly incubated with 80 mg/L ox-LDL culture solution for 48 h,oil red O staining was adopted to observe the transformation rate of foam cells,enzyme chemical method was used to determine the content of cholesterol,and real-time quantitative polymerase chain (RT-PCR)and Western blot were conducted to detect expression levels of Acyl-coenzyme A cholesterol acyltransferase-1(ACAT-1) mRNA and its protein. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,the transformation rate of foam cells and content of choles-terol in model group were increased,and the expression levels of ACAT-1 mRNA and its protein were obviously strengthened,with significant differences(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Compared with model group,the transformation rate of foam cells and content of cho-lesterol in positive control group(valsartan)and ligustrazine low,medium and high concentration groups were decreased,and the expression levels of ACAT-1 mRNA and its protein were obviously weakened,with significant differences (P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Ligustrazine can inhibit the macrophages differentiating into foam cells,by a mechanism that may be related to inhibiting expression of ACAT-1,and reducing content of cholesterol to reduce formation of foam cells.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare rapid-disintegrating oral tablets of indometacin and establish a method for its quality control.METHODS:The formula of the oral tablets was optimized by orthogonal test with the formula quality of CMS-Na(A),L-HPC(B),MCC(C),manniton(D) as factors,and the disintegrating time as index.The content of indometacin was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry.RESULTS:The optimal formula of the tablets was the following,A∶B∶C∶D=5∶5∶50∶5.The preparation was white in color and its quality was up to the related standard specified in Chinese Pharmacopeia (2005 edition) in identification.The linear range of indometacin was 2.08～41.6 ?g?mL-1 (r=0.999 9).The average recovery was 99.3%.The intra-day RSD=0.53% and inter-day RSD=0.74%.CONCLUSION:The preparation is simple and feasible in preparation process,and controllable in quality.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the hospital infection management in infectious disease ward,to improve the ward quality of hospital infection,and to prevent and control infection inside hospital.METHODS By the plan,do,check and action(PDCA) circle method to collect information,analyze cause,establish plans,and organize to put into practice and check management.RESULTS Making the control quality of hospital infection improved obviously,various index signs attain the Hospital infection management norm and The disinfection technique norm issued by Ministry of Health and infection managment standard requirement for third class grade A hospitals.CONCLUSIONS Inducting PDCA circle method and step by step to insist on it is a good method to improve the control quality of hospital infection.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Tongqiao Biyan granules in the treatment of sinusitis. Meth-ods:Totally 240 cases of sinusitis were randomly divided into two groups, each group had 120 cases. The patients in observation group were treated with 1 bag of Tongqiao Biyuan granules, 3 times a day, while the patients in control group were treated with busesonide nasal spray 100 μg each side nasal cavity, once a day. After 3 weeks,curative effect and adverse drug reaction of the two groups were observed. Results:After the treatment, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, cough and other signs and symptoms were improved more significantly in the observation group than those in the control group (P<0. 05), the total effective rate of the observation group was 92. 5%, while that of the control group was 79. 2%, the difference was significant (P<0. 05). During the treatment, the two groups showed no obvous adverse drug reactions. Conclusion: The effect of Tongqiao Biyuan granules in the treatment of sinusitis is significant with no obvious adverse drug reactions, which should be recommended to use in clinic.

Objective To apply simulator image workstation to making and verification of integrated blocks.Methods The outline of blocks drawn by doctors at simulator image workstation were transferred to the auto-cutting machine.The blocks were fabricated and were verified by the simulator.Then the qualified ones were verified by the linear accelerator.Results Of 1 371 blocks selected to verify by the simulator,1 107 (80.7%) blocks were qualified;Of 1 371 blocks qualified by the simulator,1 345(98.1%) blocks were qualified by the linear accelerator.Conclusion Simulator image workstation can improve efficiency and reduce the error in making blocks.

Objective To evaluate the application of MSCT angiography in complex congenital heart disease.Methods Images of patient with complex congenital heart disease were acquired by MSCT with dedicated parameters.Target vas in ROI was identified with plain scanning and then contrast scanning were followed.The preset CT value of the target vas was 160 Hu.The computer would expose automatically when the contrast agent reached the value.Results The target vas was scanned continuously when the contrast agent reached the preset value after "bonus injection" of the vain.Then the acquired data were processed into a clear 3D image of cardiac vas.Conclusion 3D CT angiography is a safe,effective and noninvasive imaging modality for complex congenital heart disease.

Adiponectin is a kind of adipocyte-specific protein which is only inversely related with obesity by now. It is involved in enhancing insulin sensitivity,anti-atherogenic and antiinflammatory activities.Recent studies have reported that adiponectin is closely correlated with the genesis and development of a variety of obesity related malignant tumors,especially postmenopausal breast cancer.Obesity is an independent risk factor for the development of breast cancer.Recently researches about the correlation between adiponectin and breast cancer relations and the action mechanisms,signaling pathways have made a progress.

Objective To probe into the methods of postoperative nursing care for the patient undergoing domino liver transplantation.Methods The key of postoperative care included:monitoring of vital signs,the condition of cruor and the state of drainage rigorously; keeping the balance of intake and output; taking the immunosuppressive drugs correctly; proper diet; prevention of complication;giving psychological nursing.Results The patients passed the perioperative period successfully and were all cured.Conclusions To aim at the characteristic of this operation,implement holistic nursing care,is an important link to assure the patients of domino liver transplantation to recover smoothly after the operation.
