OBJECTIVE:To improve hospital dispensing system and reduce dispensing error. METHODS: The causes of 65 cases of dispensing error occurred in outpatient pharmacy were analyzed by employing total quality management (TQM) method from 5 aspects: human,machine,material,method and environment. RESULTS: Among the 5 kinds of factors,the "human" factor took the lead,which accounted for 83% of the dispensing errors. Quality control carried out aimed at the primary factor contributed to the reduction of dispensing error cases,down from previous annual average 16 cases to 1 case of the first 10 month in 2008. CONCLUSION: TQM method contributed to the reduction of dispensing error rate in hospital outpatient pharmacy.

BACKGROUND: The skill to culture osteoblasts primarily has been well developed, however, variousdigestive enzymes can affect membrane protein of osteoblasts when they are used on primary tissue separately.OBJECTIVE: To avoid the damage from enzyme to cell as best possible,digest cranial osseous tissue with collagenase in DMEM containing fetal bovine serum and carry out in vitro culture of osteoblasts, then observe the effect of collagenase in DMEM containing fetal bovine serum on the digestion of osteoblasts.DESIGN: Control experiment.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology from March to December 2004. Two Japanese white rabbits with big ears that were pregnant for 28 days were used in the experiment.METHODS: Type I collagenase with the same batch number was prepared into 0.1% collagenase with fetal bovine serum and 0.1% collagenase without fetal bovine serum by using culture medium containing 0.15 volume fraction of fetal bovine serum and DMEM solution respectively, serving as the enzyme digestive juice A and B for experimental group and control group respectively. Abdominal delivery was performed to take ont the fetal rabbit which was at embryonic 28 days under aseptic condition.Then, craniums of fetal rabbits were dissected, rinsed and chipped into pieces. 5 mL solution A and 5 mL solution B were added into the experimental group and control group at 37℃, respectively. Culture solution containing 0.15 volume fraction of fetal bovine serum was gradiently diluted into 0,1,2 and 4 folds in each group, and continued to digest and culture osteoblasts. The cellular survival rate was measured with trypan blue staining, and the osteoblast and its purity were identified with alkaline phosphatase(ALP) staining. Cellular growth was observed under the microscope.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Cellular survival rate of two groups was detected with trypan blue staining. ② Cellular purity of two groups was detected with ALP staining in the cells. ③Cellular growth was distinguished by observing cellular morphology under the microscope.RESULTS: ① Results of trypan blue staining: Through cell counting, the rate of cells, which refused to be stained, of the experimental group reached 98%, and the cellular survival rate was high; that of control group reached 95%, and the cellular survival rate was also very high. ② Results of ALP staining in the cells: The area of ALP staining positive of experimental group was not less than 95%, and cellular purity was very high; but that of control group was not more than 75%, and cellular purity was very low. ③ Observation results under the microscope: Cells of experimental group were well stacked, convex and stereoscopic, they grew prosperously and had enough nutrition; while those of control group were not significantly in comparison with experimental group.CONCLUSION: Collagenase containing fetal bovine serum is used to digest the osseous tissue of cranium of fetal rabbits, and the cultured osteoblasts have typical properties of osteoblasts with simple component and high survival rate.

[Objective] To study the bone metabolic biochemical index of the aged patients with hip fracture,for better predicting the future risk of the old people' s hip fracture.[Method]50 cases of sufferers(over 60 years old) with hip fracture(28 males,and 22 females) and 30 cases of healthy aged people(15 males,and 15 females) were selected to analyze Ⅰ Collagen crosslinked c-telopeptide(ICTP),deoxypyridino line(Dpd) in urine,and serum bone glaprotein(BGP).[Result](1)The mean level of ICTP and Dpd in urine in aged hip fracture group was higherthan that of the control group(P0.05).[Conclusion]Bone absorbability in the aged hip fracture patients is higher than in the aged healthy people.The analysis of ICTP and Dpd in urine may /might give some reference value in preventing and treatlng aged hip fracture patients.

Objective　To manufacture adriamycin-porous tricalcium phosphate (A-PTCP) ceramic drug delivery system (DDS)as a possible method for bone defect treatment after bone tumor operation. Methods　A-PTCP DDS was made from putting adriamycin into PTCP. Thirty rabbits were divided randomly into group A(24 rabbits) and group B(6 rabbits). A-PTCP was implanted in the greater trochanter of the right femur in group A. Adriamycin were injected into veins in group B. Muscle around A-PTCP and plasma were taken out at different period. Adriamycin concentrations in muscle and plasma were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results　A-PTCP could gradually release adriamycin over 10 weeks. Adriamycin concentrations in the muscle were higher than that in plasma. Conclusion　A-PTCP may be a new method for repairing bone defects after bone tumor operation.

By using decoy-oligodeoxynucleotides (decoy-ODNS) technique, the effects of Stathmin gene on the proliferation and differentiation of in vitro cultured precartilainous stem cells (PSCs) were investigated. The Stathmin decoy-ODNs were transfected into PSCs in rats by using gene transfection technique. Under the induction of cortisol (1 micromol/L), electrophoretic mobility shift assay was used the inhibitory effects of decoy-ODNS on Stathmin gene. MTT and cytometry were used to test the cell proliferation. The expression of collagen II and V and Stathmin protein was detected by using Western blot. The results showed that Stathmin decoy-ODNs inhibited the Stathmin activity in a dose-dependent manner. When the concentration of decoy-ODNs was 10 times of standard concentration, the proliferation of PSCs was obviously suppressed and the differentiation happened. Compared to the control group, the difference was significant (P<0.05). It was concluded that decoy-ODNs could inhibit the proliferation and promote the differentiation of PSCs by antagonizing Stathmin activity.

The X-ray radiograph, CT scan and MRI appearance of 5 patients with pathologically proven fibrous dysplasia in thoracic and lumbar spine vertebrae were retrospectively analyzed. Plain radiographs, CT scans and MR images showed the presentation of eccentric lesion with intact cortex bone and marginal sclerosis in vertebral bodies without involvement of vertebral appendix and extraosseous soft tissue. The lesion masses were round (one being oval-shaped) and radiolucent in plain radiographs and CT scans. Homogeneous long signal was observed on T1 weighted image and strongly enhanced when gadolinium was administered. On T2 weighted MRI, short signal was found in the anterior part of the mass, long signal in the posterior part, and short and slight long signal in the middle part, without partitioning and laminating change. There was a good correlation between radiological features and surgical findings. These findings may be useful to diagnose fibrous dysplasia in spine.

To investigate effect of the transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in combination with nerve growth factor (NGF) on the repair of spinal cord injury (SCI) in adult rats, spinal cord of adult rats (n= 32) was injured by using the modified Allen's method. One week after the injury, the injured cords were injected with Dubecco-modified Eagles medium (DMEM, Group I), MSCs (Group II), NGF (Group III), and MSCs plus NGF (Group IV). One month and two months after the injury, rats were sacrificed and their injured cord tissues were sectioned for the identification of the transplanted cells. The axonal regeneration and the differentiation of MSCs were examined by immunocytochemical staining. At the same time, rats were subjected to behavioral tests by using the open-field BBB scoring system. Immunocytochemical staining showed that axonal regeneration and the transplanted cells partially expressed neuron-specific nuclear protein (NeuN) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). At the same time, significant improvement in BBB locomotor rating scale (P<0. 05) were observed in the treatment group. More importantly, further functional improvement were noted in the combined treatment group. MSCs could differentiate into neurons and astrocytes. MSCs and NGF can promote axonal regeneration and improve functional recovery. There might exist a synergistic effect between MSCs and NGF.
