Objective To evaluate the understanding and supporting degree of staff and patients in Hefei's primary medical institutions on the essential drugs policy.Methods The staff and outpatients were taken from 45 primary medical institutions in Hefei, and “ medical staff questionnaire” and “ patient questionnaire” were finished.Results Total understanding rates of medical staff and patients were 89.4% and 59. 1% ,respectively, total supporting rate was 90. 8% and 93.9%, respectively. The supporting rate is affected by age, educational level, residence and other factors. Conclusion In order to meet the public demand for health and medicine, the essential drugs policy should be publicized and the elderly,urban and rural patients and the medical staff should be paid more affention.

Objective To investigate the applications of antibacterial agents to outpatients in primary hos -pitals in Hefei City of Anhui Province,and to provide reference for rational use of antibacterial agents.Methods In 2011, fourty-five primary hospitals in Hefei City were selected randomly ,including urban community health service centers (Group A) and township hospitals(Group B),and thirty or fourty outpatient prescriptions were analyzed monthly . Results In Group A, the percentage and intensity of antimicrobial usage , the proportion of the combination and injectable formulation were ( 45.36 ±20.02 )%, ( 89.73 ±25.50 ) DDDs · ( 100 cases ) -1 · d-1 , 13.34%, 23.16%,respectively,and the data in Group B were (61.36 ±17.18)%,(108.46 ±32.27)DDDs· (100 cases) -1 · d-1,29.13%,46.39%,respectively,which the former were significantly lower than the latter.Conclusion In primary hospitals,the applications of antibacterial agents to outpatiants are not rataional ,including high percentages of usage and unreasonable selection of species ,and more supervision and training need to be given to the medical staff , especially in township hospitals .

Objective:
The therapeutic benefits of exosomes obtained from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in acute spinal cord injury (SCI) have been demonstrated in recent years, but the precise mechanisms remain unknown. In this study, the efficacy and mechanisms of MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) in acute SCI were investigated.
Methods:
By utilizing a BV2 ferroptosis cellular model and an SCI rat model, we investigated the effects of MSC-Exo on iron death related indicators and NF-E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2)/GTP cyclolase I (GCH1)/5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) signaling axis, as well as their therapeutic effects on SCI rats.
Results:
The results revealed that MSC-Exo effectively inhibited the production of ferrous iron, lipid peroxidation products malonaldehyde and reactive oxygen species, and ferroptosis-promoting factor prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2. Concurrently, they upregulated ferroptosis suppressors FTH-1 (ferritin heavy chain 1), SLC7A11 (solute carrier family 7 member 11), FSP1 (ferroptosis suppressor protein 1), and GPX4 (glutathione peroxidase 4), contributing to enhanced neurological recovery in SCI rats. Further analysis showed the Nrf2/GTP/BH4 signaling pathway’s critical role in suppressing ferroptosis. Additionally, MSC-Exo was found to inhibit lipopolysaccharide-induced ferroptosis in BV2 cells and SCI rats by activating the Nrf2/GCH1/BH4 axis.
Conclusion
In summary, the study demonstrates that MSC-Exo mitigates microglial cell ferroptosis via the Nrf2/GCH1/BH4 axis, showing potential for preserving and restoring neurological function post-SCI.
