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.

95%). Conclusion Immunomagnetic separation can effectively isolate and purify PSCs.

Object In order to identify the medicine at the molecular level, the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of Saussurea medusa Maxim and its easily confusable species were sequenced Methods The double stranded DNA was amplified using PCR systems 9 600 kits and sequenced on an ABI 377 automated sequencer from both directions Results The ITS sequences of S medusa of different populations showed no variation, but there existed distinct variation between S medusa and its confusable species Conclusion ITS sequences can be used for the molecular authentication between S medusa and its confusable species

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.

[Objective]To investigate the relationship between degeneration of cartilage and the expressions of Matrix Metalloproteinase 7(MMP-7),Matrix Metalloproteinase 9(MMP-9),Matrix Metalloproteinase 13(MMP-13)and Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase 1(TIMP-1)in osteoarthritis.[Method]The histological changes of cartilages by hematoxyllin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical expression of Matrix Metalloproteinase 7(MMP-7),Matrix Metalloproteinase 9(MMP-9),Matrix Metalloproteinase 13(MMP-13)and Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinase 1(TIMP-1)in osteoarthritis.were studied in 20 osteoarthritis cases and 2 normal controls.All data were statistically analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test and correlation analysis.[Result]The osteoarthritis cartilage underwent fibroplasias and tearing.The quantity of chondrocyte increased and the clustered and hypertrophic cells came into being.Little immunostaining of MMP-7 and MMP-13 was observed in normal cartilage,while their expressions increased in degenerated cartilage(P0.05),superficial layer of the moderate and end-stage osteoarthritis.However,it significantly increased in deep layer(P

[Objective]To prove the feasibility of using the distance between sagittal plane of the spinal process and the enter point to individualize the placing of pedicle screw.[Method]Thirty spine specimen were collected and divided into two groups,data were measured,such as the width of the pedicle,distance between the enter point and anterior border of the vertebra,distance between sagittal plane of the spinal process and the enter point,angle from the longitudinal axis of the pedicle to sagittal axis of the vertebra,angle from the longitudinal axis of the pedicle to vertical line of the operating table.In group one the pedicle screws were placed with the help of the distance between sagittal plane of the spinal process and the enter point,the other by the method advised by Ebraheim.CT scan was applied to evaluate the place of the screws,according to the perforation extent,they were classified into 4 grades:A=totally in the pedicle;B=perforation extent4mm.[Result]The individualized group showed much lower perforation rate than the traditional method group in T3~10,and similar in T1,T2,T11,12.[Conclusion]It can obviously improve the accuracy of the pedicle screw placement to use the distance between sagittal plane of the spinal process and the enter point to localize the enter point,especially when anatomic landmark such as articulationes zygapophysiales and transverse process change.

[Objective]To explore the effect of tacrolimus on expression of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF)in rat spinal cord following peripheral nerve injury.[Method]Fifty male rats were randomly divided into normal group,injury group and treatment group.Models of peripheral nerve injury were established by transection of bilateral sciatic nerve at 0.5 cm distal to piriform muscle.Then treatment group received subcutaneous injection of tacrolimus(1 mg/kg)at the back of the neck,while injury group received 0.9 % saline.The L4~6 spinal cords were harvested at various time points after surgery.Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the level and position of HGF in the spinal cord.[Result]HGF-positive neurons were located in anterior horn,intermediate zone and posterior horn of gray matter in normal spinal cord.There was no significant difference in the expressions of HGF between injury group and normal group,while the expression of HGF was significantly higher in treatment group than that in injury group at 7 and 14 days after surgery.[Conclusion]Peripheral nerve injury does not up-regulate the expression of HGF in spinal cord,while tacrolimus can induce high expression of endogenous HGF after injury to protect neurons and promote axonal outgrowth.
