OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlations between symptom-based principal factors of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the effect of traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine on RA after factor analysis of RA symptoms. METHODS: Four hundred and thirteen RA patients from 9 clinical centers were included in the clinical trial. They were randomly divided into Western medicine (WM) treated group with 204 cases and traditional Chinese medicine (CM) treated group with 209 cases. A complete physical examination and 18 common clinical manifestations were recorded before the randomization and after the treatment. The WM therapy included voltaren extended action tablet, methotrexate and sulfasalazine. The CM therapy included glucosidorum Tripterygll totorum tablet and Yishen Juanbi Tablet. The American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) was used for efficacy evaluation. All data were analyzed on SAS 8.2 statistical package. Eighteen symptoms in the RA patients were analyzed by factor analysis and the relationships between the factors and effects were analyzed with Chi-Square test. RESULTS: Four principal factors were obtained from the analysis results of the 18 symptoms. The factors could represent the symptoms related to joints, cold-syndrome, deficiency syndrome and heat-syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), respectively. The effect of WM therapy was better than CM therapy. After 12 weeks of treatment, the effect of CM on patients without deficiency-syndrome was better than the patients with deficiency-syndrome. After 24 weeks of treatment, WM therapy showed better effect on patients with cold syndrome than patients without cold syndrome. CONCLUSION: The results based on the factor analysis of RA symptoms are similar to the results of syndrome differentiation of TCM, and the factor-related different categories of symptoms are associated with the curative effect, thus further research on the symptoms is necessary.

Objective To observe and analyze the difference of serum immunoglobulin IgA, IgG, IgM, β2-microglobulin and transferrin in pre-eclampsia (PE) and pregnancies complicated with chronic kidney disease.Methods Totally 46(40.0%)pregnancies with PE(PE group),36(31.3%)pregnancies with chronic kidney disease(chronic kidney disease group)and 33(28.7%)normal pregnancies with normal blood pressure and proteinuria without any complication(control group)delivered in Renji Hospital were recruicted in this study from February 2017 to July 2017.Serum IgA,IgG,IgM,β2-microglobulin and transferrin levels were detected. Correlation tests were conducted between these indicators and blood pressure, 24 hours proteinuria value and delivery weeks. Results (1) Comparison of general situation of pregnancies in the 3 groups:there were no significant difference in the age and child bearing history between the 3 groups(all P>0.05),while there was a significant difference in the blood pressure and deliver week(all P<0.01).There was no significant difference in 24 hours proteinuria values between PE group and chronic kidney disease group (Z=-0.187, P=0.852). (2) Comparison of serum immunoglobulin, β2-microglobulin and transferrin levels in pregnant women with three groups: serum IgA level in chronic kidney disease group was significantly higher than those in PE and control groups[(2.4±0.9)vs(1.8±0.9)vs(1.6±0.6)g/L;F=9.959,P<0.01].The serum IgG and IgM values had no significant difference between the 3 groups(all P>0.05).Serum β2-microglobulin in chronic kidney disease group was significantly higher than those in PE and control groups[(4.0±2.6)vs(2.7±0.7)vs(2.0±0.5)mg/L;F=15.892,P<0.01].Serum transferrin in chronic kidney disease group was significantly lower than those in PE and control groups[(3.0±0.8)vs(3.7±1.1)vs(3.6±0.6) g/L; F=6.284, P<0.01]. (3) The correlation between serum immunoglobulin, β2-microglobulin, transferrin and blood pressure, proteinuria value and delivery weeks in PE group: the blood pressure level was not correlated with serum IgA,β2-microglobulin and transferrin values in PE group(all P>0.05).So,24 hours proteinuria value was positively correlated with β2-microglobulin (r=0.557, P<0.01), which was negatively correlated with transferrin (r=-0.442, P<0.01) and was not correlated with IgA(r=0.089, P=0.556). There was a negative correlation between delivery weeks and β2-microglobulin(r=-0.328,P=0.026),and positive correlation with transferrin (r=0.315, P=0.035) and no correlation with IgA (r=-0.169, P=0.260). (4) The correlation between serum immunoglobulin, β2-microglobulin, transferrin and blood pressure, proteinuria value and delivery weeks in chronic kidney disease group:the blood pressure level was positively correlated with β2-microglobulin(systolic pressure: r=0.598,P<0.01;diastolic pressure:r=0.557,P<0.01),which was not correlated with IgA and transferrin in chronic kidney disease group (all P>0.05). So,24 hours proteinuria value was positively correlated with β2-microglobulin and IgA(r=0.568,r=0.330,both P<0.05), and not correlated with transferrin (r=0.255, P=0.133). Delivery weeks had a negative correlation with β2-microglobulin(r=-0.574,P<0.01),while it had a positive correlation with transferrin(r=0.369,P=0.027). No correlation was found between delivery weeks and IgA values (r=-0.257, P=0.131). Conclusion The serum levels of IgA,β2-microglobulin and transferrin in PE and pregnancies with chronic kidney disease are significantly different,which may provide clinical value for the diagnosis of PE and pregnancies with chronic kidney disease in future.

Pharmacy services in grassroots medical institutions provide professional pharmacy services for patients. This service not only expanded the scope of primary care delivery, but also meets the residents′need for appropriate medication. At present, the majority of grassroots medical institutions in China provide outpatient pharmacy services by means of pharmacy service alliance, and foreign grassroots medical institutions mainly provide pharmaceutical outpatient services with drug treatment management as the core for patients by granting pharmacists partial prescription rights.In recent years, pharmaceutical outpatient services in grassroots medical institutions had achieved good results in improving patient clinical outcomes, enhancing medication rationality, and enhancing patient compliance. However, there were many unresolved issues, including low public awareness, shortage of pharmaceutical talents, and imperfect guarantee systems. The author suggestted that efforts should be made to increase the publicity of pharmaceutical outpatient services, improve the training mechanism for pharmacists, strengthen cooperation between pharmacists and clinical physicians, include pharmacists in the contracted service team of family doctors, and improve various guarantee systems, in order to provide reference for promoting the sustainable development of pharmaceutical outpatient services in grassroots medical institutions in China.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze and compare th e contents of 6 kinds of monosaccharide in Astragalus membranaceus from different growth years . METHODS :2-4 years old A. membranaceus from three areas were extracted with water extraction and alcohol precipitation ,Sevage deproteinization to obtain A. membranaceus polysaccharide. The samples were firstly hydrolyzed with trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)and then derivatized by 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone(PMP). HPLC analysis was adopted to determine the contents of 6 kinds of monosaccharide as mannose ,rhamnose,galacturonic acid ,glucose,galactose,arabinose. The determination was performed on Symmetry C 18 column with phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.8)-acetonitrile(84∶16,V/V)as mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was 245 nm,and column temperature was 35 ℃. The sample size was 20 µL. RESULTS :The contents of mannose ,rhamnose,galacturonic acid ,glucose,galactose and arabinose were 0.50-0.94, 0.76-1.60,3.35-7.86,87.33-275.77,1.95-8.96,2.35-14.04 mg/g,respectively. Total contents of monosaccharide from 2,3,4 years old A. membranaceus were 98.26-139.92,173.81-295.71,122.37-182.41 mg/g,respectively. There was significant difference in the contents of glucose between 3 old years A. membranaceus and 2,4 old years A. membranaceus (162.71-275.77 mg/g vs. 87.33-107.70,111.54-167.26 mg/g,P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS :Above 6 monosaccharides are detected in 2,3,4 years old A. membranaceus,among which the content of glucose is the highest. The content of glucose in 3 years old A. membranaceus is higher than that in 2 and 4 years old A. membranaceus .
