Objective:To evaluate the impact of atorvastatin and rosuvastatin at different doses on liver function in the patients with coronary artery disease. Methods:A retrospective study was used, and the patients with coronary heart disease hospitalized in the first hospital of China medical university from January 2013 to March 2014 were selected. According to the drug variety and dosage, the patients were divided into four groups: A (atorvastatin, 20 mg·d-1), B (atorvastatin, 40 mg·d-1), C (rosuvastatin, 10 mg· d-1 ) and D ( rosuvastatin, 20 mg·d-1 ) . The basic information of patients, the indices of liver function( ALT,AST,ALP and TBIL) , the time of abnormal liver function, treatment strategies and prognosis were recorded. The incidence of abnormal liver function in the groups was compared, and the rationality and effectiveness of the intervetion strategies were evaluated. Results:A total of 269 patients were collected. Among them, 149 cases were with abnormal liver function in varying degrees, and 21 patients were with ALT>3?ULN. The incidence of ALT>3?ULN in atorvastatin high dose group was much higher than that in atorvastatin low dose group( P<0. 05). Conclusion:The patients treated with high dose atorvastatin (40 mg·d-1) have a high risk of liver injury.

Objective:To preliminarily discuss the career management of hospital pharmacists from the perspectives of human re-source management and psychology to provide reference for the human resource management of pharmacy department. Methods: The current situation of career management of hospital pharmacists was analyzed based on the theory of Zone of Proximal Development in de-velopmental psychology, and some concepts and measures for the career management of hospital pharmacists were proposed. Results:The managers of pharmacy department must set up dynamic developing view of their employees, establish individualized management concept, transform their role in human resource management and promote the capability of career management. Measures, such as work shift and determined posts, career guidance, potential discovery, opening up promotion ways and self-management of personal career, could be adopted to develop a scientific and effective system of career management. Conclusion:It is suggested that modern manage-ment theories be utilized in the career management of hospital pharmacists, which may help achieve the joint development of department and individuals.

Objective:To investigate the effects of three herb extracts on cell proliferation and collagen synthesis in cultured hu-man dermal fibroblasts. Methods:The human dermal fibroblasts were isolated and cultured with tissue explant culture technique. Im-munohistochemical staining was performed to observe vimentin in fibroblasts. The proliferation of fibroblasts was determined by MTT as-say. Hydroxyproline in the cultural medium was determined by a digestion method. Results:The cells were typical fibroblasts, and the immunohistochemistry staining of vimentin in the cells was positive. The three herb extracts could promote the proliferation of the fibro-blasts at appropriate concentrations in a time-dependent manner. After the 72-hour culture in the medium, 0. 312 5-5. 000 0 mg·ml-1 Aloe vera gel extract, 0. 156 3-2. 500 0 mg·ml-1 Bletilla striata extract and 0. 075 0 mg·ml-1 salvianolate showed significant effects on the proliferation of fibroblasts (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01 vs the blank group). Compared with that in the blank group, the amount of hydroxyproline in the three herb extracts cultural medium was also increased (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). The effect of salvianolate on the cell proliferation was closely related with time and concentration, and the high concentration group could inhibit the growth of fibroblasts as the extension of time. Conclusion:Aloe vera gel extract, bletilla striata extract and salvianolate can promote the proliferation of fi-broblasts and the production of hydroxyproline, which may contribute to the wound healing.

Objective:To research the anti-dysmenorrhea effect of different extracts of Rupixiao granules. Methods:The anti-dys-menorrhea effect of different extracts of Rupixiao granules was studied by writhing test induced by oxytocin in mice. Results:Compared with the model group, the extracts of Rupixiao granules could reduce the writhing times induced by oxytocin significantly (P<0. 05,P<0. 01 or P<0. 001), and the water-soluble extract showed the best effect (P<0. 001) without significant difference when compared with the positive control group(P>0. 05). Conclusion:The water-soluble parts of Rupixiao granules have significant anti-dysmenor-rhea effect.

Objective:To explore the effect of different separation and purification technology on the physical and chemical proper-ties of water extract of ophiopogonin. Methods:The water extraction process of total ophiopogon saponins was optimized by an orthogo-nal test. The macroporous resin adsorption and membrane separation technology were adopted to purify the ophiopogonin water extract. The physical and chemical parameters, such as electrical conductivity, pH value, viscosity and turbidity, and the contents of total sap-onins, proteins, tannins and polysaccharides were determined. Results:The optimum water extraction technology of total saponins was as follows:6-fold amount of water was added, boiling 3 times with 90 min for each time. The electrical conductivity, pH value and vis-cosity of different purified liquid of total saponins had no significant differences, while the contents of total saponins and the three kinds of macromolecules showed significant differences. Conclusion: The content of macromolecules can be used as the reference index of purification process of total saponins water extract. Compared with macroporous resin separation, membrane separation technology is more suitable for the separation and purification of total saponins water extract.

Objective:To investigate and evaluate the anti-tumor activity of hydroxychloroquine ( HCQ) in vitro. Methods:CCK-8 assay was applied to detect the inhibitory effect of HCQ at different concentrations(4. 78, 9. 55, 19. 10, 38. 20,76. 40 μg?ml-1 ) on A549 cells, HepG2 cells, HT-29 cells, K562 cells, Hela cells and B16 cells. Absorbance was detected by a microplate reader, and then the inhibitory rate of the tumor cells and the IC50 was calculated. Results:Compared with those of the negative control group, the inhibitory rates of HCQ at different concentrations against the six tumor cells were all increased significantly in a dose-dependent manner (P<0. 01). The inhibitory rates of the tumor cells were all above 60% when the concentration reached 38. 20μg?ml-1. The IC50 was 26. 70(A549), 27. 47(HepG2), 5. 72(HT-29), 14. 03(K562), 20. 21(Hela) and 13. 62(B16) μg?ml-1, respectively. Conclusion:HCQ shows anti-tumor activity on several cancer cells in vitro. There may be a good application prospect for HCQ in the treatment of colorectal cancer, liver cancer, cervical cancer, melanoma and leukemia.

Objective: To investigate the effect of dimethyl dicarboxylate biphenyl ( DDB) on the proliferation, apoptosis and PPARγ expression of hepatic stellate cells. Methods: HSC-T6 cells were cultured in 96-well plates and 6-well plates, and after the 24-hour drug treatment, the influence of DDB on the proliferation and apoptosis of HSC-T6 were detected respectively by CCK-8 kit and flow cytometry. Quantitative real-time-PCR ( Q-PCR) and Western blotting were adopted to determine the effect of DDB on the PPARγmRNA level and the protein expression in HSC-T6 cells. Results:DDB obviously inhibited the proliferation of HSC-T6 (P<0. 05) and significantly promoted the apoptosis of HSC-T6 (P<0. 05) at the experimental concentration (8-64 μmol·L-1) when compared with the control group (0 μmol·L-1). The expression of PPARγ in drug-treated HSC-T6 was notably improved. Conclusion: DDB can inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of HSC-T6 cells by up-regulating the expression of PPARγ.
