OBJECTIVE: To faciliate the implementation of the new Prescription Administrative Policy in ward area pharmacy. METHODS: Based on our practical working experience, the Prescription Administrative Policy was studied from perspective of quality of personnel, sense of responsibility and drug standards etc. And the difficulty encountered in the implementation of the prescription administrative policy was explained. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: Solving such problems as including medical orders in prescription management, clarifying the responsibility of irrational medication without sticking to instrcutions of drug package inserts, the demanding requirements on pharmacists’s quality and the enforcement of precription evaluation contributes to the implementation of the new Prescription Administrative Policy in ward area pharmacy.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of navigation and robot technology on percutaneous ultrasound-guided liver tumor ablation. METHODS:The liver model tumors were placed inside excised calf livers, and the needle was guided into the tumor using either conventional ultrasound-guided method or two new methods-3D navigation and a method based on a robotic assistant. Totally 40 experiments were performed, and the distance (all methods) from the tip of the needle to the planning point in the tumors was measured.RESULTS: Based on the measurements, the robotic assistant performed better than both the 3D navigation and the conventional ultrasound-guided method. While, the 3D navigation performed better than the conventional ultrasound-guided method.CONCLUSTON: This study demonstrates navigation combined with robot technique is feasible to improve the precision of deploying ablation needles, future studies are warranted to optimize the system to meet requirements in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum placental growth factor (PLGF) and carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM ). Methods Serum PLGF were determined by ELISA in 53 patients with T2DM ,who were divided into T2DM without carotid plague (T2DM group ,n= 27) and T2DM with carotid plague (T2DM + CAS group ,n= 26). Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ,glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and some other metabolic variables were also measured. The results were compared to those of 27 healthy controls (NC group). Results Serum PLGF levels were significantly higher in T2DM group and T2DM + CAS group than in NC group (P<0.01). T2DM+CAS group showed significantly higher serum levels of PLGF compared to that of T 2DM group(P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed that serum PLGF was positively correlated with TC ,LDL‐C , hsC‐RP and IL‐6 in T2DM patients (P<0.01). Similarly ,multiple regression analysis showed that LDL‐C and IL‐6 were the independent factors of serum PLGF level (P<0.05). Furthermore ,Serum PLGF was positively associated with carotid plague. Conclusion PLGF is positively related with chronic inflammation factors in T2DM patients. Serum PLGF may play an important role in the occurrence and development of carotid atherosclerosis and other macroangiopathy in T 2DM.

12 kinds of histochemical methods were adopted to evaluate the effects of gossypol optical isomers on the reproductive system of Wistar rats, following the administration of (?) and (+)-gossypol at a dosage of 30mg/kg daily, and(-)-gossypol at a dosage of 15 mg/kg daily, respectively for 2 or 3 weeks. (+)-gossypol has no an tifertility activity. (?) and (-)-gossypol caused kinetic disorder of spermatogemsis, and inhibited turnover of nuclear basic protein of the late, elongated spermatids in the testis. No changes in G6PDH and 30-HSDH histochmical reaction in Leydig cells, and ALP in the basement membrane of epididymis were observable reflecting that gossypol has no effect on synthesis and secretion of testosterone. Spermatozoa in the epididymis of rats treated with (?) and (-)-gossypol exhibited head and tail separation. The formazan deposits of reaction of LDH, LDH-X, MDH and ICDH located in sperm mitochondria appeared to become coarse and to reduce in quantity after (?) and (-)-gossypol treatment.

Objective To discuss the clinical application value of ultrasound contrast on evaluating fallopian tube patency.Methods Ultrasound contrast examination was conducted on 84 patients suffering from infertility and the flowing status of contrast agent in the uterine cavity and the fallopian tube and the distribution condition in the pelvic cavity were observed under the real -time ultrasound to judge the patency condition of the fallopian tube.Results After 84 patients receiving ultrasound contrast,38 cases'bilateral fallopian tubes were unobstructed,26 cases'lateral fallopian tube were unobstructed and 20 cases'bilateral fallopian were obstructed.Comparing the result of ultrasound contrast with laparoscopy,the diagnosis accuracy was 89.5%,the specificity 86% and the sensitivity 94%.Conclusion Fallopian tube ultrasound contrast technique can make an accurate and objective evaluation on the fallopian tube patency,it is an effective method to check fallopian tube patency and it is of high clinical application value.

To modify the splicing pattern of Bcl-x and compare the effect of this approach with that of the antisense gene therapy in BIU-87 cell line of bladder cancer, by using 5'-Bcl-x AS to target downstream alternative 5'-Bcl-x splice site to shift splicing from Bcl-xL to Bcl-xS and 3'-Bcl-x AS antisense to the 3'-splice site of exon III in Bcl-x pre-mRNA to down regulation of Bcl-xL expression, the inhibitory effects on cancer cells by modification of alternative splicing and antisense gene therapy were observed and compared by microscopy, MTT Assay, RT-PCR, FACS, Westhern bloting and clone formation. The growth of cells BIU-87 was inhibited in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Its inhibitory effect began 12 h after the exposure, reaching a maximum value after 72h. The number of cells decreased in S phase and the number increased in G1 phase. The ability to form foci was reduced and the antisense gene therapy was approximately half as efficient as modification of alternative splicing in inducing apoptosis. It is concluded that modification of splicing pattern of Bcl-x pre-mRNA in bladder cancer cell BIU-87 is better than antisense gene therapy in terms of tumor inhibition.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the incidence of depression and its etiological factors in patients with cryptorchidism 6-16 years after surgical treatment.

METHODSUsing Self-Rating Depression Scale and Correlation Factor Questionnaire, we investigated the incidence of depression symptoms among 70 patients with cryptorchidism 6-16 years after surgical treatment and another 70 healthy males as controls, and analyzed the related factors of depression symptoms.

RESULTSThe incidence rate of depression symptoms was 50% in the cryptorchidism patients postoperatively, extremely significantly higher than 4.3% in the control group (χ2 = 23.5, P <0.01). Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the main risk factors of depression symptoms were worries about natural fertility (F = 15.8992, P <0.01), dissatisfaction with scrotal appearance (F = 4.6003, P <0.05), and the status of being married (F = 4.1002, P <0.05).

CONCLUSIONSymptoms of depression often occur in cryptorchidism patients after operation, and the major etiological factors are infertility, dissatisfaction with scrotal appearance, and the status of being married.
