The prevalence of obesity,type 2 diabetes,and other chronic non-communicable diseases is increasing rapidly world-wide.Most recent epidemiological data showed that China is now in an era of obesity,and under a huge burden of the complications related with obesity,diabetes,as well as cerebral-and cardiovascular disorders.Strenuous efforts,comprehensive strategies,effective measures,and practical solutions must all be taken to combat against these chronic diseases.

METHODS: The application of ROWA automated storage system after the setting up of automatic outpatient pharmacy in our hospital and its impact on the outpatient pharmacy were analyzed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: The ROWA automated storage system has helped improve the working environment and efficiency of service, reduce labor intensity, increase the connotation of services, and the competitiveness, promote hospital's service brand as well as creating better social and economi- cal benefits.

Objective To understand the HIV infection status among pregnant women in Henan province and provide basis for preventing mother to child transmission of AIDS.Methods The HIV-test results obtained from January 2005 to May 2007 among pregnant woman in 31 counties(districts)with relatively high HIV prevalence were analyzed.Results A total of 720 605 pregnant woman were tested for HIV antibody,of whom 541 were identified HIV positive and the HIV-positive rate was 0.08%.Of the 364 HIV positive pregnant women 223(61.26%)decided voluntarily to terminate pregnancy,while 136(37.88%)chose to continue with their pregnancy,and the proportion of HIV positive pregnant women who continued with the pregnancy in the 3 different years was 31.51%(46/146),36.31%(57/157)and 54.10%(33/61),respectively,showing an yearly rising trend.Of the 284 HIV positive mothers 250(88.03%)received PMTCT intervention.Conclusion The rate of PMTCT in HIV-positive pregnant women can be further improved by increasing HIV testing among pregnant women and HIV positive women of child bearing age and by early identifying and managing them.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of flupentixol and melitracen(Deanxit) in treatment of non-erosive reflux disease(NERD) and non-responding to proton pump inhibitor. Methods Fifty eight NERD pa-tients were randomly divided into two groups, the treatment group (n = 29) and control group (n = 29). Patients in control group were given esomeprazole 40 mg qd. Patients in the treatment group were given the same drug plus Deanxit 1 Tab qd. The clinical effect was evaluated and scored by Hemihon Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) after 4 weeks. Results The total efficacy rate of the treatment group was higher than control group (P < 0.01),and HAMA was lower in the treatment group than in control group (P < 0.01). Conclusions Adjuvant treatment of Deanxit combined with esomeprazole is effective to NERD patients who did not respond to proton pump inhibitor, can greatly improve anxious disorders.

According to the texts of Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction in the books of Maijing,Qianjin Yaofang,Qianjin Yifang,Taiping Shenghui Fang,Hxin Fang,and Jingui Yuhan Jing,the author drew the following conclusions:Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction in the present Shanghan Lun was very likely the written error Of Baihu Decoction,which was more close to the original meaning of Zhang Zhong-jing.From the period of Sui and Tang Dynasty,doctors had gotten new experiences in their practices.They added Ginsen into Baihu Decoction and named the new decoction"BaihU Jia Renshen Decoction",which was still in use today.Although there was not intrinsically difierence between Baihu Decoction and Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction,while the saying of"adding Renshen or not,should be decided by patient's Yuanqi"by doctor Shu Chi-yuan in Qing Dynasty had a significant impact.The erroneous views by some recent scholars can't be complied with,who advocated that the four main symptoms of Baihu Decoction syndrome should belong to syndrome of Baihu Jia Renshen Decoction according to the original texts in Shanghan Lun.

Objective To study the development of children's understanding the probabilities of the causes of illness.Methods 120 5-to 9-year-old children were interviewed via open-ended items and forced choices about illness. Results There were statistical significance in their understanding of the probabilities of the causes of illness and their strategies of prediction among the three groups(χ2(2)= 50.134,P ＜0.01;χ2(6)= 95.781, P ＜0.01);in addition, there was statistical significance between the two educational backgrounds (χ2(1)= 11.162, P ＜0.01;χ2(3)= 35.043, P ＜0.01). Conclusion Some preschool-aged children viewed outcomes of familiar causes of illness as probabilistic. The children's understanding of the causes' probabilities appeared to be based on naive biology. 5- to 9-year-old children made probabilistic predictions from a single cause to multiple causes. Children coming from higher educational backgrounds outperformed their counterparts coming from lower educational backgrounds with respect to understanding illness.

To investigate the antibiotic resistance of bacteria isolated from bile, the bile from the surgical in-patients with bile duct infection from June 1995 to December 1998 was cultured and the distribution and antibiotic resistance of the isolates (not including anaeobes) were analyzed. The results showed that the cultured positive rate in the specimens was 69. 76 % (143/205). Among the isolates, most of them were E. coli and P. aeruginosa (31. 74 % and 18. 56 %, respectively), while Enterobacter, K. pneumonia and Enterococci were also commonly seen. All the isolates were resistant more or less to the commonly used antibiotics.

As the introduction of novel agents,the median overall survival of elderly newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients has increased roughly from 30 to 60 months.But patients with high risk prognostic features still have a poor clinical outcome.This paper which combined the 19th annual congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) reviews the advances in elderly patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma,including standard of care,the way to treatment and prognostic factors.

BACKGROUND:Rabbit VX2 hepatocarcinoma models are characterized by expanded and infiltrative growth, abundant blood supply, similar pathological and imaging features to human hepatocelular carcinoma, so this model is ideal for imaging experiments. OBJECTIVE: To establish rabbit VX2 hepatocarcinoma models and compare two different laparotomy methods in establishing rabbit VX2 hepatocarcinoma models. METHODS:Thirty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: traditional laparotomy (tumor particles were directly embedded into the liver with tweezers) and improved laparotomy (tumor particles were injected into the liver through a 15G syringe needle). The growth features of the tumor established in two different ways were compared by ultrasound. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The tumor formation rate was 100% in the two groups; the single rate was respectively 50% and 90%; the ectopic implantation rate was 50% and 10%, there were significant differences between two groups (P < 0.05). The mortality rate within 2 weeks was 33% and 0 in the two groups, with significant differences (P < 0.05). The improved laparotomy method is feasible for modeling rabbit VX2 hepatocarcinoma, due to minimal injury, short operation time, high success rate and stable features.
