The personnel training is one of the core tasks of clinical Chinese pharmacy.Since the professional training of clinical Chinese pharmacy has started relatively late in China,the teaching contents and curriculum still need further improvements.This paper is aiming at analyzing the post tasks of personnel of clinical Chinese pharmacy,defining the knowledge structure of them,and learning from the characteristics of clinical Chinese pharmacy teaching systems of the foreign and domestic universities.On such basis,the paper proposes the ideas about constructing the curriculum system of clinical Chinese pharmacy,to provide a reference for the higher educational personnel training of clinical Chinese pharmacy.

The quail model of hyperuricemia combined with abdominal obesity was induced by high purine diet.Body weight in model group showed no change.Serum uric acid level in model group was increased significantly on 7,14,21,and 28 d( P<0.05 or P<0.01 ).Abdominal fat index in model group increased significantly on 28d.On 7 d and 28 d,serum free fatty acid level was increased significantly.Acetyl-CoA carboxylase( ACC ) protein expression in the liver of model quail was increased as shown by ELISA and immunohistochemisty ( P<0.05 or P<0.01 ),suggesting that the alteration of ACC expression contributes to the pathogenesis of hyperuricemia combined with abdominal obesity.

Objective To study the optimal time of MRI follow-up after transsphenoidal surgery in patients with nonfunctional pituitary macroadenoma. Methods MRI records of 50 patients before surgery,within 1 postoperative week (early stage),at 3 months (intermediate stage) and 1 year after surgery (late stage),respectively,were retrospectively analyzed.Dynamic changes in the sella turcica were observed and the degrees of tumor excision were studied before and after MRI T 1-weighted enhanced scans at different postoperative stages. Results In the early stage MRI images showed that the size of sellar contents decreased by 8%~32%,tumor disappeared in 22 cases,and suspected residual tumor was found in 28 cases.At 3 months after surgery,MRI scans revealed that sellar contents decreased by 11%~85% in size.On coronal position MRI scans,the size of sellar contents decreased more than 50% in 11 cases,30%~50% in 9 cases,less than 30% in 8 cases.Out of the 28 cases that were suspected of residual tumor in the early stage,confirmation of residual tumor in the sella turcica was made in 23 cases.MRI findings 1 year after surgery showed no change in the sella turcica in 46 cases and continuing to decrease in 4 cases. Conclusions Re-examination of MRI in intermediate stage after transsphenoidal surgery in patients with nonfunctional pituitary macroadenoma facilitates the detection of residual tumor and recurrence.

Objective To reconstruct caudate nucleus,lentiform nucleus and thalamus three-dimensionally,fuse these neural structures with (patient's) radiological images and provide anatomical data for diagnosis and treatment of neurosurgical diseases. Methods Chinese Virtual Human dataset was segmented using image-transparency method at first and each image was smoothed by eroding and dilating, then fused neural structures with MRI,the neural structures and brain in MRI were reconstructed and displayed using surface rendering and volume rendering lastly. Results The reconstructed neural structures were smooth,natural and realistic.Their shapes and positions was clearly displayed and could be rotated, observed in any direction.On the fused images,the neural structures and tumor could be seen at the same time.Conclusion The reconstructed structures and fused images have great reference value to teaching and learning and diagnosis and treatment of neurosurgical diseases.

0.05). The NAA/Cr and NAA/Cho in the Group A were significantly higher than those in the Group B (t=4.235, P=0.011; t=2.832, P=0.031), and the Cho/Cr in the Group A was significantly lower than that in the Group B (t=-2.323, P=0.042). Conclusions ~1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy can improve the diagnostic accuracy of glioma.

Objective To evaluate the role of radiotherapy in the management of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. Methods Between 1995 and 1999, 18 patients with pathologically confirmed dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans were retrospectively analyzed. Nine patients were referred to our hospital for primary treatment and the remaining 9 patients came with recurrent disease. Fifteen of 18 patients received surgery followed by radiotherapy. Among them, 14 patients underwent complete resection and 1 partial resection. Majority of patients received 50~60 ?Gy. One patient received 37.5 ?Gy because he refrained from further treatment. Two patients received 52 ?Gy and 50 ?Gy due to unresectable extensive lesion. One of 18 patients was treated by total resection alone.Results The median of follow up time was 26 months with a range of 0.5~5 years. Sixteen patients (8.9%) are disease free. One patient developed local recurrence and one died of malignant progression. These two patients were treated with radiotherapy alone or surgery only. The local control rates were 100% (15/15) for patients who were treated with surgery and radiotherapy. Conclusions Postoperative radiotherapy is able to decrease the local recurrence rate in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.

Knowledge Discovery in Databases is gaining attention and raising new hopes for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) researchers. It is a useful tool in understanding and deciphering TCM theories. Aiming for a better understanding of Chinese herbal property theory (CHPT), this paper performed an improved association rule learning to analyze semistructured text in the book entitled Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica. The text was firstly annotated and transformed to well-structured multidimensional data. Subsequently, an Apriori algorithm was employed for producing association rules after the sensitivity analysis of parameters. From the confirmed 120 resulting rules that described the intrinsic relationships between herbal property (qi, flavor and their combinations) and herbal efficacy, two novel fundamental principles underlying CHPT were acquired and further elucidated: (1) the many-to-one mapping of herbal efficacy to herbal property; (2) the nonrandom overlap between the related efficacy of qi and flavor. This work provided an innovative knowledge about CHPT, which would be helpful for its modern research.

BACKGROUND:Rehabilitation training equipments play an important role in the rehabilitation treatment. Because of poor muscle strength and joint mobility in patients, we must guarantee the safety of rehabilitation training equipments.
OBJECTIVE:To design a new suitable man-machine interface that ensures patients can use rehabilitation equipments and even parts of fitness equipments safely.
METHODS:Through user experience research, we found the flaws of the existing rehabilitation equipment. Depending on the principles of ergonomics, we designed a new man-machine interface for upper limb exercise through survey and computer-aided design.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The new man-machine interface program achieves the rapid wear and discharge between patients and rehabilitation training equipment, and importantly, it can automatical y separate people from the equipment when the patient's body discomforts or equipment failure appears. What’s more, this man-machine interface can be promoted to other fitness equipments. As a result, rehabilitation training for patients wil be more convenient.
