1.Problems in the construction of hospital libraries in the Beijing area and countermeasures
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 1996;0(04):-
A survey into the current situation of 28 hospital libraries in the Beijing area has led to the discovery of a number of problems in the construction of hospital libraries in the Beijing area, including shortage of specialized personnel, non-adaptation to changes in information resources, and lack of due attention to the work in hospital libraries. In light of this, attention ought to be paid to the following three aspects in the work of hospital libraries: ① attaching importance to the cultivation and introduction of specialized personnel; ② identifying the right starting point and providing individualized services; ③using funds in a rational manner.
2.Progress in network pharmacology for modern research of traditional Chinese medicine
Chinese Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology 2015;(6):883-892
Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),a comprehensive medicinal system,is characterized by holistic theory that emphasizes the regulation of the integrity of the human body and the interactions between human individuals and their environments. The diagnostic and therapeutic methods of TCM are based on the differentiation of syndrome(Zheng in Chinese)and the use of herbal formula(Fang-Ji in Chinese). There is an urgent need to develop scientific research methods in accordance with the above characteristics for TCM modernization. In the era of big data and with the rapid progress in systems biology,polypharmacology and bioinformatics,network pharmacology has emerged as a promising drug discovery approach that takes the same view as the theory of TCM. This methodology has explored correlations between drugs and complex diseases from the perspective of the holistic theory and has highlighted the paradigm shift from″one drug,one target″to″network target″. Thus,it is an original idea to combine network pharmacology with the modern research of TCM. This paper briefly analyzed and discussed the progress and major scientific challenges in network pharmacology applied to TCM diagnosis and treatment. To promote the development of TCM network pharmacology , several suggestions were also raised.

Objective To explore the epidemic situation of nontuberculous Mycobacteria in both Yuexiu and Zhuhai districts. Methods Mycobacterium tuberculosis culture and strain identification were conducted in suspected smear-positive tuberculosis patients who had visited our clinics at Yuexiu and Haizhu districts in Guangzhou during the period of 2010 to 2012. Results 2 014 sputum samples were identified as NTM and MTC, 1 630 samples were MTC (80.9%), and 384 samples were NTM (19.1%). The isolated rate for NTM from 2010 to 2012 was 17.6%, 17.1% and 21.2%, respectively. 79 strains of 384 NTM were identified; the rapid-growing mycobacterium was 50.6%, and the slow-growing mycobacterium was 49.4%. Conclusions The sputum-isolated rate of NTM for the suspected tuberculosis patients was 19.1% in Yuexiu and Haizhu districts in Guangzhou. For the smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients who respond to treatment poorly , we should pay attention to NTM lung disease.

Objective To determine the amount of serum Vitamin D in premature infants,and to investigate its correlation with bone quantitative ultrasound measurement.Methods The serum of premature infants born between 2013 March and 2014 March in the Maternal and Children Health Hospital of Huadu District in Guangzhou were collected,and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH) D] level was measured by using chemiluminescence immunoassay,while Omnisense quantitative ultrasound was used to measure bone speed of sound(SOS) in the middle area of the left tibia.According to gestational age,the participants were divided into A,B and C groups(28-32 weeks,32 +1-34 weeks,34 + 1-36 +6 weeks,respectively).The levels of 25-(OH)D and SOS were compared and the correlation between them was analyzed.Results The amount of 25-(OH) D of the 3 groups was (41.65 ± 21.15) nmoL/L,(47.15 ± 19.78) nmol/L,and (49.35 ± 19.93) nmol/L,respectively,and the differences among the 3 groups were statistically significant (F =4.441,P =0.012).The ratio of vitamin D abundant or not (insufficiency including deficiency and lack) in preterm among the 3 groups were compared,and the differences among the 3 groups were statistically significant(x2 =11.38,P =0.023).SOS of the 3 groups were (2 787.85 ± 123.01) m/s,(2 865.12 ± 129.44) m/s and (2 908.59 ± 124.01) m/s,respectively,and the differences among the 3 groups were statistically significant (F =28.716,P =0.000).There was a positive correlation between 25-(OH) D and SOS (r =0.084,P =0.024).Conclusions Level of Vitamin D in premature infants is generally inadequate.The smaller the gestational age,the higher the occurrence rate.Vitamin D levels and SOS are significantly positively correlated,and both of them increase with gestational age.

Objective To investigate the readiness for hospital discharge of patients who had undergone spinal operation at West China Hospital, Sichuan University, to guide the medical care and health education. Methods A total of 164 patients after spinal operation who have readying to discharge were selected and investigated by General Information Questionnaire, Activity of Daily Life Scale and Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale. Apply the Excel for data inputting, SPSS19.0 for statistical analysis and choose rate, x±s and so on for statistical description according to the types of data. Results Of all the 164 patients, 47 cases (28.7%) weren′t well prepared, 117 cases (71.3%) were well prepared;the score of
Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale was (142.38±34.23 points and the average score of all the articles was (7.12±1.72) points. Conclusions The readiness for hospital discharge score of patients who had undergone a spinal operation at West China Hospital, Sichuan University is low and their readiness for hospital discharge is inadequate. Medical staff can improve the patients′readiness for hospital discharge by strengthening health guidance in order to promote the recovery of patients.

AIM:To detect the changes of active status of bypass signaling pathways in EML4-ALK positive lung cancer cell line H3122 treated with alectinib, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α), and to explore the potential mechanisms.METHODS:EML4-ALK positive cell line H3122 was treated with increasing concentrations of alectinib or/and induced by HGF, EGF and TGF-α.The cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay.The cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry.The protein levels and phosphorylation status of ALK, c-Met and EGFR, and the downstream molecules AKT, ERK, p-AKT and p-ERK were examined by Western blot.RESULTS:The viability of the H3122 cells was inhibited by alectinib in a dose-dependent manner after administrated for 72 h, and the IC50 value was 0.042 μmol/L.The concentration-growth curves of the H3122 cells shifted to the right after induced by HGF, EGF and TGF-α.After treatment with alectinib at 0.05 μmol/L for 48 h, the apoptotic rate of H3122 cells was (20.12±1.36)%, while the apoptotic rates of the cells in the groups of alectinib combined with HGF, EGF or TGF-α were (7.85±1.03)%, (5.60±0.79)% and (4.58±1.00)%, respectively.Those values were remarkably lower than those in alectinib single treatment group (P<0.05).Alectinib inhibited the protein levels of p-ALK and its downstream signaling pathway molecules, while HGF significantly up-regulated the protein levels of p-Met and its downstream p-AKT and p-ERK.Besides, EGF and TGF-α remarkablely up-regulated the protein levels of p-EGFR and its downstream p-AKT and p-ERK.Combined treatment with crizotinib and 17-DMAG successfully inhibited the viability of the H3122 cells even in the presence of the HGF and EGFR ligands, respectively.CONCLUSION:Bypass signaling pathways are activated by HGF, EGF and TGF-α in EML4-ALK positive lung cancer cell line H3122, which may be linked to alectinib resistance.
