CONCLUSION: The key to improve community pharmaceutical professional staff’s knowledge and service level is to establish regular training and examination on basic technical skills.

Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture, tuina plus rehabilitative therapy on lower limb motor dysfunction in infants with spastic cerebral palsy.
Methods:A total of 60 infants with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group by random digital table, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with acupuncture, tuina therapy plus rehabilitative therapy of Western medicine. The control group was simply treated with rehabilitative therapy of Western medicine, as same as that for the treatment group. The assessment was respectively given to the sick infants before the treatment and after the treatment of six months, to evaluate lying and rolling scores in dimension A, to evaluate sitting score in dimension B, to evaluate crawling and kneeling scores in dimension C, and evaluate standing score in dimension D in the gross motor functions and determine the muscle tone of the gastrocnemius muscle by modified Ashworth scale (MAS).
Results:The differences were not statistically significant in comparison of the gross motor functions and the muscle tone of the gastrocnemius muscle between the two groups of sick infants before the treatment (P>0.05); after the treatment of six months, the above items were obviously improved in the two groups (P<0.01), better in the treatment group than in the control group, with the statistical significance in the differences between the groups (P<0.01).
Conclusion:Acupuncture, tuina plus rehabilitative therapy of Western medicine are remarkable in the therapeutic effects in the treatment of motor disorders of the lower limbs in the sick infants with spastic cerebral palsy. This therapeutic method is safe, simple and convenient and needs to be clinically popularized and applied.

Results: After intervention, the improvement of VAS score in the treatment group was more significant than that in the control group (P<0.01). The total effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01).
Conclusion:Chinese herbal fumigation plus beating with mulberry stick can produce a higher clinical efficacy than orally taking Diclofenac Sodium Sustained Release Tablets in treating heel pain.

Objective To explore the effect of collagen membrane combined with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2(rhBMP-2) on periodontal tissue regeneration and repair in periodontal defect models of rats.Methods Eighteen male healthy Wistar rats,which were made experimental periodontal bone defects in the inferior incisors,were randomly divided into three groups:control group,collagen membrane group(Co),collagen membrane and rhBMP-2 group(Co/rhBMP-2).Two rats from each group were sacrificed at 4,6,8 weeks after operation.The mandibles were removed,and examined under light microscope.Results In Co/rhBMP-2 group: 4 weeks after operation,a large amount of bone formed in the defects;6 weeks later,new bone filled in the defects;8 weeks later,alveolar bone emerged,newly-formed periodontal ligament and cementum localized at the root edges,no gingival epithelium was observed.In Co group:4 weeks after operation,new bone formed at the edge of the defects;6 weeks later,a larger amount of bone and periost were observed;8 weeks later,a small amount of periodontal ligament and cementum localized at the root edges.In control group: 4 weeks after operation,there was a small amount of newly-formed bone at the edge of the defects;6 weeks later,collagen fibers were found at the edge of defects;8 weeks later,a small amount of periodontal tissue reached its original height and gingival epithelium proliferated obviously.Conclusion Collagen membrane combined with rhBMP-2 which has not only conductive effect but also effect of osteoinduction,can prevent the long-epithelium growing,maintain the growth gap,and promote periodontal tissue to regenerate.

AIM: To investigate the preventive effect of tetrahydroxystilbene-glucoside (TSG) on experimental atherosclerosis rats. METHODS: Sixty one male rats were randomly divided into six groups. normal control; model control; TSG low dose(30 mg?kg-1?d-1);TSG middle dose(60 mg?kg-1?d-1);TSG high dose(120 mg?kg-1?d-1); simvastatin(2 mg?kg-1?d-1). The AS model of rats was made by feeding high grease food and injecting VitD3 .All the rats were fed for 12 weeks, blood samples were drawn from carotid artery of rats, the levels of TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C ,CRP,IL-6 and TNF-? in serum were measured with biochemical method. After blood samples were collected , the aorta samples were separated from the bodies, then they were placed 4% paraformaldehydea and were through Sudan Ⅳ and HE staining. STATA7.0 software was used to evaluate the differences between groups. RESULTS: Data of the study demonstrated that the levels of TC、TG、LDL-C、TNF-?、IL-6 and CRP were decreased remarkably, the level of HDL-C was increased by TSG 60, 120 mg?kg-1?d-1 group in the high cholesterol-fed rats, which showed a dose-dependent effect. The result of Sudan Ⅳ and HE staining suggested that the lipid deposits in aortic endothelium in TSG group were less than those in model group. CONCLUSION: TSG has preventive effect on the experimental atherosclerosis among the high cholesterol-fed rats. The anti-atherogenic effect of TSG seems to be closely related to regulating plasma lipid profile, and inhibiting inflammation.

Aim To investigate the effects of TSG on the content of nitric oxide and the expression of endo-thelium nitric oxide synthase in artery vessels of experimental atherosclerotic rats.Methods Sixty male rats were randomly divided into six groups.GroupⅠ,Normal control;GroupⅡ,Model control;Group Ⅲ,TSG low dose;Group Ⅳ,TSG middle dose;GroupⅤ,TSG high dose;group Ⅵ,Simvastatin.After 12 weeks,blood samples were collected from carotid arteries of rats,and the levels of NO in serum were measured.After that,the aortas were separated from the bodies and placed in-70℃,then the content of nitric oxide synthase was detected,and gene expression of eNOS and iNOSmRNA in artery vessels were respectively measured with RT-PCR method.STATA 8.0 software was adopted in date analysis..Results compared with those of the model group,the level of NO,the activity of NOS and the gene expression of eNOS were increased,and the gene expression of iNOS was reduced by simvastatin and TSG 30,60,120 mg?kg-1?d-1 in the high cholesterol-fed rats,which showed a dose-dependent effect.Conclusion TSG can enhance the expression of eNOS gene and reduce the expression of iNOS gene in aorta vessels of experimental atherosclerotic rats,which may be one of the anti-atherosclerosis mechanisms of TSG.

OBJECTIVE: To probe into the medication status of the elder patients in community so as to provide reference for pharmacists to promote rational medication for the elderly people in community. METHODS: The medication status of 484 cases in the community was investigated through questionnaire and interview. RESULTS: The principal diseases affecting the health of the elder people included hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease. The average number of drugs they used totaled 2.92 kinds; the higher the educational background, the higher proportion of the elder people who read drug package instruction but the lower ratio of medication compliance. The elder people commonly had poor knowledge about the drugs and adverse drug reactions(91.74% and 60.74%);21.11% responded that they had ever received medication guidance from pharmacists, only 3.10% responded that they had once consulted pharmacists about medication problems. CONCLUSION: The medication of the elder people in community is characterized by multiple drug varieties, poor ADR knowledge and lower cognition on pharmacists. It is urgent to improve the pharmaceutical care ability of medical institution and enhance the social influence of pharmacists.

OBJECTIVE:To provide scientic basis for clinical use of hormone.METHODS:The influence of methylpred?nisolone injection(MP)on levels of serum potassium,sodium,calcium,blood sugar,blood pressure,blood lipid,and protein was observed.RESULTS:MP had the most obvious influence on serum calcium and protein,while it had the least influence on triglyceride.Along with the increases of dosage of drug and patient’s age,the changes of biochemical indices induced by MP w_ ere more obvious.The changes of serum sodium and blood pressure were greater in male patients under age40in comparison with those in females.Supplement of potassium,calcium and protein could postpone the influence of drug on serum calcium and protein but could not reduce the incidence rates.CONCLUSION:The use of hormone should adhere to individualized principle and adopt the minimum dosage with expected therapeutic efficacy to reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions.
