Objective To investigate whether intensive atorvastatin treatment in patients after percutaneous coro-nary intervention ( PCI) could decrease the effect of contrast medium on kidney function and the incidence of con-trast-induced acute kidney injury( CI-AKI) . Methods A total of 128 patients with PCI were randomly divided into two groups:the enhanced treatment group (n=64) and the control group(n=64). The enhanced treatment group received 80 mg atorvastatin at 12~24 h before PCI and 24,48 h after PCI. The control group was given 20 mg ator-vastatin respectively before and after PCI. The primary end point was the incidence of CI-AKI. Serum creatinine (Scr), cystatin C, glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), urinary albumin and urinary β-2 microglobulin levels were observed at 24 h before PCI and 24, 48, 72 h after PCI. Results In the enhanced treatment group 3. 1 % (n=2) of patients developed CI-AKI versus 4. 7 % (n=3) in the control group, without statistical difference (P=1.00). There was no significant difference between two groups in postoperative Scr, cystatin C, eGFR, urinary al-bumin, urinary β-2 microglobulin and creatine kinase(CK). Three days after the operation, alanine aminotrans-ferase ( ALT) elevated in two groups, and aspartate aminotransferase ( AST) increased in the enhanced treatment group (P<0. 05), but they were all in the normal range. Conclusion There has been no significant difference in decreasing the incidence of CI-AKI and the damage of contrast medium on renal function between the enhanced treatment group and the control group before PCI.

Objective:This paper aims to analyze the monitoring model of Canadian drug price monitoring mod-el based on the international reference price, and make reference for China. Methods: Through policy analysis and literature research, the system combs the specific Canadian practices of using the international reference prices for the drug price monitoring. Results:For the introduction of new drug prices, Canada uses the international median price comparison test, the highest international price comparison test, the treatment category comparison test and the inter-national treatment category comparison test. For the listed drugs, Canada calculates the international price ratio, and then carries out bilateral comparisons and multilateral comparisons to monitor the prices of drugs already on the mar-ket. At present, Canada has achieved effective monitoring of drug prices, that is to say, the introduction of new drug prices complies with the《Excessive Price Guide》;the patented drugs prices are lower than the designed international price;the price difference between the generic drug and the international level has gradually reduced. Conclusions:The Canadian experience is worth learning, and China should add legislative about drug price monitoring, learn from this experience to identify and monitor the varieties and establish the price monitoring and early warning mechanism with the international reference price as the warning indicator.

Objective To detect the properties of new natural porcine ture bones ceramic(TBC) which were processed under different conditions. Methods Fresh porcine ribs were pretreated and divided into three groups: untreated group, deproteinization group and deproteinization and defat group. Then they were calcined under different temperature and duration to get TBC. The morphological features, constitutive components and mechanical properties were examined by scanning electron microscopy, X-rays diffraction analysis, energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), mechanical assay and so on. Results All TBC possessed the natural porous network system of original bones. EDX showed that the all elements of TBC were Ca and P, the ratio of which was 1.72, and the major mineral composition of TBC was hydroxyapatite(HA). The TBC calcined at the higher than 900℃ temperature for 2 hours had comparative good mechanical strength, otherwise the mechanical strength was too low to act as scaffold materials. Conclusion Morphological features, constitutive components and mechanical properties of differently pretreated TBC were same. The TBC calcined at the temperature of higher than 900℃ for 2 hours had comparative good mechanical strength, and contained only HA with high crystallization. Befroe the TBC becoming an ideal scaffold material, more investigations will be necessary to detect its biocompatibility and biodegradability.

To gain a better understanding of the genetic diversity and evolution of PRRSV in the Ningxia Hui Nationality Autonomous Region (Ningxia) of China, the nsp2 genes from a series of PRRSV strains collected from the region in 2007 were partially sequenced. These sequences were then analyzed along with the classical strain (ch-la) and two other epidemic strains SD (3) and SD2006. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence with ch-la indicated that nsp2 genes of seventeen Ningxia isolates (NX strain) have deletions of 87 nucleotides. Sequence analysis indicated that homology between the Ningxia strain and ch-la was 60.3%-79.9% in the nucleotide sequence, and homology between the NX strains and SD strains was 80.3%-98.8% in the nucleotide sequence. The nsp2 genes of the seventeen isolates had 74.9%-100% nucleotide sequence identities with each other. This study was undertaken to assess the regional variation of prevalent PRRSV and to establish a sequence database for PRRSV molecular epidemiological studies.

Objective To evaluate the schistosomiasis control effect of the measures of replacing cattle with machine for cul?tivation and forbidding depasturage of livestock on marshlands in marshland and lake regions. Methods The retrospective re?view and field survey were implemented in the Jiangling and Gongan counties of Hubei Province where were implemented with the measure of replacing cattle with machine for cultivation,and Yuanjiang and Huarong counties of Hunan Province where were implemented with the measure of forbidding the depasturage of livestock on marshlands. The schistosome infection status of hu?man,cattle,and Oncomelania hupensis snails,and schistosome?infested field excreta were surveyed from 2007 to 2013. The ef?fects of the interventions were compared before and after their implementations. Results The 6 villages of Hubei Province were implemented with the measure of replacing cattle with machine for cultivation,and 7 villages of Hunan Province were imple? mented with the measure of forbidding the depasturage of livestock on marshlands. From 2007 to 2013,the schistosome infection rates of residents declined from 3.95%to 0.70%(χ2 =128.376,P<0.05),with the descend range of 82.53%. The descend ranges of the measures of replacing cattle with machine for cultivation and forbidding the depasturage of livestock on marshlands were 83.081%and 81.62%respectively,and there was no significant difference between the two measures(χ2 =0.132,P>0.05). The infection rate of cattle decreased from 3.66%in 2007 to 0.65%in 2013,and the descend range was 82.24%(χ2=13.692,P<0.05). The field excreta was surveyed in the snail breeding place in 2013. The investigated area was 157.435 hm2, and 625 samples of field feces of cattle were collected with the density of field excreta of 3.97/hm2,and the positive rate was 1.12%(7/625). The schistosome infection rate of snails and the density of infected snails decreased successively from 2007, and no infected snails were detected from 2011 to 2013. Conclusions The schistosomiasis endemic situation are decreased sig?nificantly after the interventions of replacing cattle with machine for cultivation and forbidding the depasturage of livestock on marshlands. Therefore,schistosomiasis control effect of these measures is notable in the marshland and lake regions.

Objective To study the compliance of forbidden depasturing livestock on the marshland with Oncomelania snails in schistosomiasis endemic areas. Methods According to 3 levels of human infection rates as > 10% ,5%-10% and <5% , 2 204 residents selected randomly from the schistosomiasis endemic villages were sampled with the stratified cluster sampling method in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Sichuan and Yunnan provinces, and investigated by questionnaire. The contents of the questionnaire included the recognition and implementation of forbidden depasturing livestock on marshland with Oncomelania snails and breeding livestock in bam. Results A total of 78.4% residents agreed forbidden depasturing livestock on marshland with snails, but 3. 7% residents disagreed it. A total of 83. 9% residents considered the relationship between breeding livestock in bam and schistosomiasis control, but 3. 1% residents thought that it was no relationship. The main reasons of depasturing livestock on marshland with Oncomelania snails were the high cost of breeding livestock in bam (36. 2% ) , unaccustomed (26.4% ) and no room for breeding livestock in bam (25.4% ). Conclusion Forbidden depasturing livestock on the marshland with Oncomelania snails should be strengthened according to the local economic, nature environment, agriculture, residents'culture degree and agriculture habit.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common pathological type of lung cancer, most NSCLC patients are at advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. For patients without sensitive driven-oncogene mutations, chemotherapy is still the main treatment at present, the overall prognosis is poor. Improving outcomes and obtaining long-term survival are the most urgent needs of patients with advanced NSCLC. In recent years, immunotherapy has developed rapidly. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), especially targeting programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), have made a breakthrough in the treatment of NSCLC, beneficial to patients' survival and changed the treatment pattern for NSCLC. It shows more and more important role in the treatment of NSCLC. Led by NSCLC expert committee of Chinese society of clinical oncology (CSCO), relevant experts in this field were organized. On the basis of referring to domestic and foreign literature, systematically evaluating the results of Chinese and foreign clinical trials, and combining the experiences of the experts, the experts group reached an agreement to develop this consensus. It will guide domestic counterparts for better application of ICIs to treat NSCLC.
