OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the status quo and tendency of the utilization of lipid-lowering drugs in our hospital.METHODS:The utilization of lipid-lowering drugs in our hospital between 2005 and 2008 was analyzed statistically by ranking consumption sum and DDDs.RESULTS:The consumption sum of lipid-lowering drugs had a sharp increase during 2007～2008 as compared with 2005～2006,its proportion in the drugs for cardiovascular diseases increased to some degree.During 2007～2008,Statins took the first two places on the annual consumption list,its use gained popularity and its DDDs increased.The application of Fibrates also took an upward trend.CONCLUSION:The use of lipid-lowering drugs in our hospital had been on the rise,with Statins and Fibrates took the predominant places,which is in line with the requirement of evidence-based medicine.

The effect of traditional therapy is limited for liver cancer,gene therapy gets more and more recognition in recent years.Oncolysis virus is a kind of conditionally replicating virus,with special reproductivity in cancer cells,and then kills them.Gene agents are usually introduced into tumor tissue by intra-tumor and intra-arterial injection,and the technique of interventional therapy is able to satisfy the demand excellently.So,some breakthrough is expected in treating liver cancer by skillfully combining oncolysis virus and interventional technique

In recent years, the number of outpatients in stomatological hospital is in increasing year by year and being accompanied by the corresponding medical risks. One of the risks which may endanger the patient life is medical emergency which need emergency treatment by the dentists in dental clinical practice. The most common emergency type is syncope, followed by hyperventilation, drug overdose, adrenaline reaction and hypertension, etc. Unexpected events mainly occurred at the end of the treatment and before leaving the dental clinic, during or immediately after the local anesthesia, in the treatment process. Tooth extraction related emergency is the most frequently occurring emergency, followed by the local anesthesia related ones. It's strongly suggested that dentists should pay more attention to outpatient clinical emergency treatment, and related knowledge and skills training should be offered to improve the ability to handle medical emergencies.

[Objective]To probe the probability of autologous platelet-rich glue(PRG) combined with particulate of cancellous bone in treating the aseptic tibial nonunion.[Method]Sixty patients with tibial nonunion in distal 1/3 fragment were randomly divided into 2 groups.Each group had thirty patients.PRG combined with particulate of autogenous cancellous bone was transplanted in the experimental group while particulate of cancellous bone was applied in the control group.The mean time to the operation was 10.5 months(7-36 months) and the average age were 38 years old.The postoperative systemic and local reaction,and X-ray finings of tibial nonunion were observed.The average follow-up was 22 months.According to the Johner-Wruh scoring system the results were statistically analyzed.[Result]At 8 months bony union was all achieved.There was a remarkable difference between those of experimental and control groups.[Conclusion]PRG had an important role in speeding bone healing,and the combination of PRG and particulate of autogenous cancellous bone is an ideal alternative of bone transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features and treatment of posterior semicircular canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(PC-BPPV).Methods To retrospectively analyse the clinical features and therapy results of 120 patients with PC-BPPV from January 2003 to November 2004 in the Chang Zheng Hospital of the Second Military Medical University.Results Vertigo attack of PC-BPPV had such characters as brief period,positioning,latency and fatigability.Geotropic rotatory nystagmus occurred in 108 patients and apogeotropic rotatory nystagmus in 12 patients in the test of Dix-Hallpike,and the former received the repositioning maneuver therapy of Epley and the later received the therapy of Semont maneuver.The symptoms disappeared completely in 88 patients after a single session and 12 patients after twice、6 patients after triple sessions of Epley repositioning maneuver therapy in the former,no effectiveness in 2 patients;the symptoms remitted in 8 patients after once,2 patients after twice and 1 patient after triple sessions therapy of Semont repositioning maneuver in the later,no change in 1 patient.The total success rate was 97.5%(117/120).Fifteen patients had relapse during follow-up and the recurrence rate was 12.5%(15/120).They also responded to repositioning maneuver therapy.Conclusion The diagnosis of PC-BPPV is based on the typical clinical features and the test of Dix-Hallpike.The repositioning maneuver therapy is safe and effective for PC-BPPV and should be used for all patients when the diagnosis is clearly made.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of Xianlinggubao combined with alendronate sodium in the treatment of osteoporosis. METHODS:112 patients with osteoporosis were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with 56 cases in each group. Both group were given routine treatment as calcium carbonate,vitamin D and life style. Control group were given alendronate sodium 10 mg orally,qd;treatment group was additionally given Xianlinggubao capsule 1.5 g,bid, on the basis of control group. Both groups received 12 weeks of treatment. The levels of S-Ca,S-P,24 h urinary calcium(U-Ca), alkaline phosphatase(ALP),osteocalcin,IL-6,bone mineral density(BMD)of L2-4 lumbar spine and femoral neck were observed in 2 groups before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy and toxic reaction were compared. RESULTS:There was no statistical sig-nificance in the levels of S-P and S-Ca between 2 groups after treatment(P>0.05);the level of ALP、osteocalcin、BMD increased in treatment group after treatment,the level of U-Ca and IL-6 decreased compared to before treatment,and the treatment group was better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Total effective rate of treatment group(92.86%)was sig-nificantly higher than that of control group (73.21%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). No obvious toxic side effects was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Xianlinggubao combined with alendronate sodium shows significant therapeutic efficacy for patients with osteoporosis with good safety.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect and safety of combination chemotherapy with oxaliplatin( L-OHP) plus 5-fluorouracil(5-FU)/folinic acid( CF) in advanced colorectal cancer( ACRC). Methods: 31 patients with ACRC entered the study. L-OHP 130 mg/m2 , iv infusion for 4 hours on day 1; CF 200 mg/m2 , iv infusion for 2 hours followed by 5-FU 500mg/ m , iv infusion for 4 hours from day 1 to day 5, repeated every 3 weeks. Results: There were 10 partial responses, 7 stable disease, 9 progressive disease, the response rate being 38. 5% . The main adverse effect was neuro-sensory toxicity which was seen in 90. 3% of the patients. Vomitting and diarrhea was observed in 58. 1% and 45. 2% of the patients respectively. Bone marrow suppression was mild. Conclusions: L-OHP combination with 5-FU/CF yields an encouraging response with acceptable toxicity in our study. Furthermore clinical reseach is worthwhile.

AIM To investigate the effect of Supplemented Buyang Huanwu Decoction (Astragali Radix,Angelica tail,Paeoniae Radix rubra,etc.) on blood glucose in diabetic rats and its antioxidant activity.METHODS The diabetic rat model induced by streptozotocin (STZ) was established,with metformin as positive control group.After intragastric administration with Supplemented Buyang Huanwu Decoction,the fasting blood glucose,superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in serum and tissues (heart,kidney and pancreas) in rats were detected.HPLC was used to determine the contents of antioxidant constituents (calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside and peoniflorin) in plasma,whose pharmacokinetic parameters were then calculated.RESULTS Compared with the model group,the hypoglycemic activity in the Supplemented Buyang Huanwu Decoction group was obvious (P ＜ 0.05),the SOD activity in serum and various issues (except for pancreas) was significantly enhanced,together with significantly reduced MDA level (P ＜ 0.05).The pharmacokinetic behavior of two constituents (calycosin-7-O-3-D-glucoside and peoniflorin) accorded with two-compartment open model,whose blood concentrations reached the highest within 50-70 min,and showed no obvious changes within 180-720 min.CONCLUSION Supplemented Buyang Huanwu Decoction can reduce the blood glucose in diabetic rats and improve the antioxidant activities in heart and kidney.The fast absorption and slow metabolism of calycosin-7-O-3-D-glucoside and peoniflorin in decoction are beneficial to related treatment.
