Objectives To evaluate the effectiveness of ARB in antihypertensive therapy and judge whether it can also protect cardiovascular. Methods A randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled study was used to survey over ten thousand patients in ARB clinical practices. The primary endpoint was stroke, acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, deadly cardiovascular diseases, total mortal. The results were given comprehensive analysis and statistical processing. Results In LIFE study, ARB was more effective than ?-blockers and ARB had the role of protecting the cardiovascular besides lowering the blood pressure. But the VALUE study showed that ARB was not more effective than Besylate. Conclusion There is no obvious distinction between ARB and the other drugs in reducing the blood pressure.

In order to improve the teaching reform of higher education systematically and op-erably, and in order to improve the effectiveness of teaching reform, teaching reform in Higher Educa-tion in the micro system engineering and SIMPP analysis method were proposed. With questionnaire survey on classroom learning state of all students from traditional Chinese medicine Grade 2010-2013 of Beijing University as an example, the principle and operation steps of SIMPP analysis method was systematically discussed. According to the students' related behavior pattern and strategy analysis affected by teachers, the analysis of the results of interpretation method and application direction was illustrated. At the same time, through the monograph, nine aspects (academic diligence level, learning effectiveness of self cognition, learning interest, teacher's influence, self-study ability, class atten-dance, learning objectives, curriculum satisfaction, major satisfaction) were analyzed by SIMPP. By modeling the related factors and their relationship, the internal relations between different factors were cleared, and the students' behavior patterns were found, and the corresponding reform measures were designed. Research shows that the concept and methods of teaching reform in Higher Education in the micro system engineering will produce a positive impact on teaching reform, curriculum reform, and the integration of family education and school education.

Objective To investigate the effect of Gum mastic combined with gemcitabine on human pancreatic carcinoma BxPc-3 cells and its mechanism.Methods Cell proliferation and apoptosis were examined using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay and propidium iodine staining,respectively.After BxPc-3 cells were treated with different concentrations of Gum mastic and gemcitabine,the expression of NF-κB p65 subunit,IkB,Bcl-2 and Bax proteins was detected by Western blot.BxPc-3 cells were injected subcytaneously into nude mice to establish pancreatic xenograft tumors,and the changes of tumor volume were monitored.Results Compared to either single agent,treatment with Gum mastic (40 mg/L) combined with gemcitabine (10 mg/L) for 72 h signi cantly inhibited the proliferation of BxPc 3 cells (P＜0.01).Its rate of apoptosis(45.13±4.01)was more than Gum mastic,gemcitabine(P＜0.01) and control group (5.07 ± 1.37,P＜ 0.01).When cells were treated with gemcitabine in combination with gum mastic in human pancreatic carcinoma BxPc-3 cells for 48 h,the IκB level was increased,whereas NF-κB activation was blocked; the expression of Bax protein was substantially increased,but Bcl-2 protein was down-regulated; gum mastic or combined with gemcitabine could significantly inhibit the growth of pancreatic xenograft tumors (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Gum mastic could effectively strengthen the sensitivity of human pancreatic carcinoma BxPc-3 cells to gemcitabine.It may inhibit the expression of NF-κB p65 subunit and Bcl-2 proteins and increase the expression of IκB and Bax proteins.

OBJECTIVE: To study and compare the compositions of traditional decoction and compatible granules of Duhuo Jisheng Tang and reveal their differences in inner quality. METHODS: The compositions of eight medicines, i.e., duhuo, sangjisheng, danggui, chuangxiong, fuling, baishao, qinjiao and gancao in traditional decoction and dispensing granule decoction, were identified by TLC. And the contents of paeoniflorin were determined by HPLC. RESULTS: There were more spots of the eight than dispensing granules. The content of peaoniflorin of the traditional decoction was 29.37mg·g-1. The content of peaoniflorin of the dispensing granule decoction is 2.59 mg·g-1. CONCLUSION: Composition contents in traditional decoction from Duhuo Jisheng Tang is higher than that of dispensing granule decoction.

OBJECTIVE To make the patients using the central venous catheter safely when given chemotherapy and intravenous nutritional therapy,and to decrease the catheter infection by establishing effective infection-preventing systems. METHODS Many infection-preventing actions were carried out,including a three-level management,improving the workers′ training in catheter operation and maintenance,and health education. RESULTS Comparing with the matched group,the infection rate of the experimental group was much lower after the actions.The actions prevented the increase of infection effectively. CONCLUSIONS Building and carrying out the systems are proved to be important measures to decrease the catheter infection and ensure the quality of life among patients during the therapy in hospital.

Objective To observe the effect of microprismatic needle scalpel(MPNS) on headache induced by compression of greater occipital nerve or lesser occipital nerve.Methods 95 patients with headache induced by compression of occipital nerve were divided into the treatment group (50 cases, treated with MPNS) and control group (45 cases, treated with carbamazepine).Results In the treatment group, 42 cases were cured, 6 cases were effective, 2 cases were ineffective; while, those in the control group were 16 cases, 21 cases and 8 cases respectively. There was a significant difference between two groups ( P<0.01).Conclusion MPNS has an obvious effect on headache induced by compression of occipital nerves.

OBJECTIVETo reveal the relation between endogenous hormones and the flower bud differentiation in Schisandga chinensis.

METHODTop buds of extremely short branch and axillary buds of long branch in the same plant of S. chinensis were used as material and the contents of endogenous hormones were measured during different periods of the flower bud differentiation with HPLC.

RESULTThe result showed that flower bud differentiation and the formation of female flower were inhibited by high concentration of GA3 and were promoted by high concentration of ABA or ZT. Low ratio of GA3/ABA has the same result.

CONCLUSIONThere was a correlation between endogenous hormones and the flower bud differentiation of S. chinensis.

In order to obtain the serotype distribution of E.coli from duck and to screen the vaccine bacterial strains,the serotype identifications and biological characteristics of E.coli were analyzed in recent years from Shandong,Hebei and other areas of commercial duck field;selections of vaccine strains were detected by the virulence and immunogenicity.Totally 44 isolated bacterial strains of E.coli from duck were identified to a total of six serotypes:O78,O93,O76,O2,O92 and O32.The O78 serotype was the dominant serotype,accounting for 56.8％ (25/44);O93 serotype for 15.9％ (7/44) according to bacterial Oantigen typing.The strain SD (O78 serotype) was confirmed to have strong virulence and good immunogenicity.The O78,O93 and O76 are the dominant serotypes of duck E.coli in the study areas.The SD strain could be used as the candidate for the next development of inactivated vaccine.
