ObjectiveTo assess a simple apparatus measuring displacement of pelvis in clinical application.MethodsTwo testers measured the displacement of pelvis of 20 healthy young subjects moving their body forward, backward, leftward and rightward in standing position. The reliability of inter- and intra-tester was tested with intraclass correlation co-efficiency (ICC). And the validity between this method and Functional Reach Test (FRT) was tested.ResultsThe ICC of inter- and intra-tester were 0.91～0.97 and 0.94～0.98 respectively, and correlated with FRT (r=0.88, P<0.01).ConclusionThis simple apparatus can be used in a balance test.

Some factors may induce accidents during physiotherapy for stroke patients. This article would summarize the general risk factors and discuss the management.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of high-frequency ultrasound in assessment of the therapeutic efifcacy of traditional Chinese medicine in patients with breast dysplasia using.MethodsFrom March to September in 2014, 50 patients with breast dysplasia in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine were enrolled in the study. In addition, they were treated with Xiaozheng pills. Before and after treatment, these patients were examined using ultrasound. The thickness of the breast gland layer in each patient was measured. When the dilated ducts lactiferous, cysts, hypoechoic areas, or nodules of the breast were detected, the diameter or volume was measured or calculated. A grading system of the breast dysplasia was used to evaluate the disease degree, and the quadrants of the breast dysplasia were counted. The thickness of the breast gland layer, the volume of cysts and nodules, the diameter of hypoechoic areas and the dilated ducts lactiferous, the number of the breast dysplasia were compared with the pairedt-test. The grading of the breast dysplasia was compared with rank sum test.ResultsThere were significant decreases in the thickness of the grand layer, the diameters of the ducts lactiferous and the hypoechoic area after treatments [(15.92±4.73) mm vs(13.02±4.20) mm,t=2.240,P<0.01; (2.26±0.58) mm vs (1.71±0.47) mm,t=5.202,P<0.01; (21.14±5.57) mm vs(17.80±4.63) mm,t=5.529,P<0.01]. However, there were no significant differences in the volume of cysts and nodules. The grading of the breast dysplasia showed statistical difference (z=-5.667,P<0.01), and the number of the breast dysplasia quadrants was reduced markedly (5.38±1.85 vs3.28±1.97,t=7.566,P<0.01).ConclusionsUltrasound can be an effective method in assessment of patients with breast dysplasia treated with the traditional Chinese medicine. The assessment can be based on some signs, including the thickness of the grand layer, the diameters of the ducts lactiferous, and the diameters of the hypoechoic area. The grading system and breast quadrants counting in these patients may be added as supplementary criteria to make a complete therapeutic evaluation.

Objective: To analyze the prescription dosage for discharged patients in our hospital and investigate the potential risks.Methods: A retrospective research method was adopted to statistically analyze 55 872 discharge instructions from July to September in 2015,and more attention was paid to the prescriptions with dosage over 4 weeks,expecially the ones with 26-week dosage, and the related influencing factors were studied as well.

Objective To observe whether recombinant human erythropoietin (rhu- EPO) could cross blood- brain barrier (BBB) of premature infants. Methods Thirty - six premature infants, with gestational age 28 - 35 weeks, birth weight0.05).Conclusion Rhu- EPO can cross the BBB of premature infants.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate similarities and differences among bioequivalence approaches used by international regulatory authorities when reviewing applications for marketing new generic drug products which are systemically active and intended for oral administration. METHODS: The comparisons of these bioequivalence recommendations were performed and based on bioequivalence study designs, selection of bioequivalence subjects,dosage, selection of reference products, method of pharmacokinetic calculations and bioequivalence acceptance limits, bioequivalence waiver on multiple-strength products and and implementation of the Biopharmaceutics Classification System, which are issued by Australia, the European Medicines Association, Japan,the USA, and the World Health Organization. RESULTS: There were lots of differences were found in bioequivalence approaches among the regulatory authorities surveyed, although there are more similarities. CONCLUSION: Discussion of the similarities and differences among bioequivalence approaches used by international regulatory authorities would provide instructive and practical assists to the equivalence assessment of quality and curative effect for generic products in China.
