Stromal cell-derived factor-1(SDF-1)is an early cell growth factor which belongs to a subfamily of chemokines.The CXCR4 is SDF-1 receptor.The SDF-1 interacting with CXCR4 plays important roles in physiological and pathological processes such as hematopiesis, stem cell homing,angiogenesis and leukemic cells infiltrating.To study the expression of CXCR4 in leukemia and the relationship between CXCR4 and leukemic cells infiltration can add indicators for leukemic MIC diagnosis of immunology indexes and have great significance to take molecule targeted therapy for preventing leukemia from infiltration or relapse as well.

OBJECTIVE:To improve response capacity of China to deal with intellectual property rights protection standard terms (Trips-plus terms) beyond the regulations of Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), and to provide reference for improving national intellectual property rights protection policy. METHODS:Trips-plus terms and their common types were introduced to analyze their characteristics and consider about their adverse effects. RESULTS & CONCLU-SIONS:Common TRIPS-plus terms involve data protection,patent interlinkage,patent period extension,limitation of compulsory licensing and parallel importation,etc. These terms pose a significant challenge to developing countries,resulting in delaying entry of generics,increasing drug price,influencing drug accessibility and posing a great threat to public health. China,as the largest de-veloping country mostly relying on generic drugs,should scientifically assess the effects of TRIPS-plus on public health,drug ac-cessibility and pharmaceutical industry in the process of domestic legislation and negotiating a free trade agreement,and make effec-tive use of the TRIPS flexibility to protect the public health.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the bioequiavailability of two simvastatin preparations in human bodies.METHODS:A total of 18 healthy male volunteers were enrolled in a randomized crossover study in which the subjects were randomly assigned to receive single dose of 40mg simvastatin orally disintegrating tablet(test) or simvastatin tablets(reference).The plasma concentrations of simvastatin were determined by LC-MS,and the pharmacokinetic parameters and bioavailability were calculated with 3p97 program.RESULTS:The pharmacokinetics of simvastatin test and reference preparations were fitted the one-compartment model.The main pharmacokinetic parameters of the two preparations were as following:Cmax:(6.73?5.22) vs.(7.08?5.41)ng?mL-1、tmax:(2.11?0.74)vs.(1.89?0.85)h,AUC0～12:(19.83?19.09)vs.(19.98?18.20)ng?h?mL-1,AUC0～∞:(22.18?20.09)vs.(22.41?21.07)ng?h?mL-1.The relative bioavailability of simvastatin orally disintegrating tabl-et as against simvastain tablet(reference) was (99.25?13.11)%.CONCLUSION:Simvastatin test and reference preparations were bioequivalent.

BACKGROUND: Iron metabolism disorder has been proved to be a key factor of Parkinson's disease, but research on brain iron metabolism is still immature, and the role of glial cells in the brain iron metabolism remains unclear. Many studies have pointed that microglia plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease, which closely related to iron.OBJECTIVE: To further explore the relationship between microglia and neurons in iron metabolism based on our previous study, and to clarify the role of microglia in iron-induced selective damaged dopaminergic neurons of Parkinson's disease.METHODS: This was an in vitro cellular experiment, which was finished in the Medical College of Qingdao University, Shandong Province, China. The effects of conditioned medium of microglia on the survival rate of mesencephalic neurons and iron metabolism were observed by changing the iron levels in microglia.Lipopolysaccharide was used to activate different iron-loaded microglia, and then the effects of conditioned medium on the survival rate of mesencephalic neurons and iron metabolism were determined. The effects of different iron levels in microglia on microglia and inflammatory factors and lactoferrin released from the activated microglia were detected by siRNA and ELISA. The effects of these inflammatory factors and lactoferrin on the survival of mesencephalic neurons and iron metabolism were observed. The iron levels in mesencephalic neurons were changed, and then added into the above conditioned medium to observe the survival of neurons and iron metabolism. This experimental protocol was approved by the Hospital Ethics Committee (No. 01482311234). All experimental procedures were performed in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals issued by the United States National Institutes of Health.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Our study results show that the function of microglia is closely related to the iron metabolism in nigra dopaminergic neurons. Research on the rational use of microglia to prevent neuronal degeneration gives a strong impetus to the prevention and treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Based on multiple painless needle insertion skills in clinic combined with own experience, the authors propose the opinion that different painless needle insertion methods need to be used according to the positions where acupoints are. The appropriate needle insertion mean must be selected in accord with the anatomical characteristic of acupoint position, namely, tapping insertion is applied in scalp part, skin-pinching up needle insertion is used in forehead and superficial nerve trunk, fingernail-pressure needle insertion in ocular region and positions where large blood vessels distribute, flying acupuncture insertion in face and finger tip, vibrating needle in occipitonuchal region, quivering insertion in abdomen, quick pricking by single hand in the four limbs and back, and chop acupuncture in palm and pelma. The insertion methods are systematically discussed in terms of preparation, acupoint position, manipulation and attention, etc, so that to provide the reference for painless needle insertion.
