In light of the IT development in hospitals, the authors point out the necessity of setting up the post of CIO and clarify the role of the CIO in the construction and management of the hospital information system. They argue that the CIO should not only be in charge of the technology support of the information network platform, but also exercise the function of managing hospital information. While hospitals ought to attach importance to the development and application of information systems and the role of the CIO, the CIO, on his part, ought to try to enhance his competence and become a versatile talent expert at various disciplines like medicine, management and the computer.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of YMDD mutation during Lamivudine therapy on chronic hepatitis B.Methods Fluorometric analysis PCR, ELISA were used to estimate the YMDD mutation, HBVDNA quantative level and HBeAg for HBV of 72 cases with chronic hepatitis B before therapy (0 month), and after Lamivudine therapy for 9,12,18 months.Results The YMDD mutation was not observed in these cases before Lamivudine therapy. The mutation was found in 8 cases (11.1%), 17 cases (23.6%) and 28 cases (38.9%) at 9, 12, 18 month for therapy. The YMDD mutation rate rose with the therapy time lasting (P<0.05). Moreover, the YmDD mutation rate in the patients with HBVDNA quantity higher than 108 copies/ml was significantly higher than that in the patients with HBVDNA quantity lower than 108 copies/ml (P<0.005). The YMDD variation rate in patients with HBeAg positive and in patients with HBeAg negative showed no significant difference (P>0.05). The HBeAg negative conversion rate was significantly higher in non-mutation group than that in mutation group (P<0.05).Conclusion The serum virus quantity may be regard as an early estimate indication of the development of YMDD mutation during Lamivudine therapy.

AIM: To study the effect of Lomerizine on the activity of P-glycorprotein (P-gp) in primary cultured rat brain microvessel endothelial cells (RBMECs). METHODS: Flow cytometry was used to study the efflux of rhodamine123 (Rh123) and expression of P-gp in RBMECs. RT-PCR was used to measure the expression in mRNA level of mdr1 gene in RBMECs. Transwell model was used to detect the influence of Lomerizine on the transport of Rh123 through RBMECs monolayer. RESULTS: Lomerizine inhibited the efflux of Rh123 in RBMECs. No changes of P-gp and mdr1 gene mRNA expression were detected in RBMECs after the treatment with 30 μmol·L-1 Lomerizine for 72 h. In the study of Transwell model, Lomerizine increased significantly the transport of Rh123 through RBMECs monolayer from upper compartments to lower compartments, and inhibited obviously the transport in reverse direction. CONCLUTION: The effect of Lomerizine on the activity of P-gp was mainly via its direct inhibitory effect on the function of P-gp in RBMECs and the transport of P-gp substrates in BBB may be affected by lomerizine.

BACKGROUND:Both in vitro and in vivo studies have confirmed that, bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) regulates the differentiation of osteoblasts and chondroblasts, induces heterotopic bone formation, promotes fracture healing, and controls the morphology of skeleton in mammals.
OBJECTIVE:To treat chronic bone defects using particle gun containing BMP2 gene eukaryotic expression plasmid via local injection.
METHODS:A total of 72 healthy New Zealand white rabbits were applied to establish chronic bone defect model in the rabbit radius. According to the length of bone defect, the rabbits were divided into three groups:1.5 cm group, 2.0 cm group, 2.5 cm group. Each group was further randomly assigned into two subgroups:treatment group (BMP-2 gene transfection) and control group (natural y healing). X-ray examinations were performed at 1, 3, 8 and 9 weeks after transfection, and soft tissue between the bone defects was harvested to detect BMP-2 using western blot analysis;and radius specimens were taken for gross observation at the same time points, to evaluate the healing.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Gross specimen observation:bone cal us formation in treatment group was general y more than that in control group. (2) Lane-Sandhu X-ray score in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group at 1, 3, 8, 9 weeks after transfection (P<0.05). (3) BMP-2 concentration in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group at each time point (P<0.05). The local transfer of particle gun-mediated BMP-2 gene is an effective therapy of chronic bone defect.
