OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of Kangfuxin liquid combined with Oral ulcer powder on inflammatory cyto-kines and therapeutic efficacy of recurrent aphthous ulcer. METHODS:134 patients with recurrent aphthous ulcer were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 67 cases in each group. Both groups received routine treatment;control group was additionally given Oral ulcer powder,q2 h;observation group was additionally given Kangfuxin liquid,10 ml/time,gar-gling for 5-10 min and then swallowing slowly,tid. Treatment course of 2 groups lasted for 7 d. Clinical symptoms,serum inflam-matory cytokines,clinical symptom improvement and recurrence were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:Total effective rate of ob-servation group was 95.52%,which was significantly higher than that of control group(82.09%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α,IL-1 and IL-6 in observation group were significantly lower than those of control group,with statisti-cal significance(P<0.05);ulcer duration and VAS score of observation group were significantly shorter or lower than those of con-trol group,with statistical significance(P<0.05);after followed up for 6 months,recurrence rate of observation group(11.94%) was significantly lower than that of control group(31.34%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Kangfuxin liquid combined with Oral ulcer powder helps to lower levels of inflammatory cytokines of patients with recurrent aphthous ulcer, relieve the clinical symptoms,then improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce recurrence rate.

Idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions (IDR) induce severe medical complications or even death in patients. Alert structure in drugs can be metabolized as reactive metabolite (RM) in the bodies, which is one of the major factors to induce IDR. Structure modification and avoidance of alert structure in the drug candidates is an efficient method for reducing toxicity risks in drug design. This review briefly summarized the recent development of the methodologies for structure optimization strategy to reduce the toxicity risks of drug candidates. These methods include blocking metabolic site, altering metabolic pathway, reducing activity, bioisosterism, and prodrug.

AIM: To investigate the possibility of 3T3 fibroblast growth on blood fibrin clot in culture medium with recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rhbFGF). METHOD: Growth of the cells on blood fibrin clot was studied by phase-contrast, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and by Giemsa stain and MTT assay. RESULTS: The optimal concentration of rhbFGF for proliferation and survival of the cells was 100 ng/mL. The cells also grew on blood fibrin clot scaffold in the low-serum medium containing 100 ng/mL rhbFGF, and a greater number of the cells survived after 48 hours incubation compared to that after 24 hours. The elongated filopodia appeared to bridge the gaps among the fibroblasts after 24 hours incubation. Further incubation to 72 hours, a greater number of platycytes were found to be joined together by lamellopodia. CONCLUSION: 3T3 fibroblasts could grow and survive on blood fibrin clot in the low-serum medium containing rhbFGF, and a combination of blood fibrin clot and rhbFGF may have over proportional effects on wound healing.

Objective The beam data is compared with those obtained from Monte Carlo (MC)simulation and measurement to investigate their feasibility and reliability for X-ray small fields.MethodsThe beam data,including the total scatter factor (Scp),percentage depth dose (PDD) was acquired byneasurement and calculation with the field size ranging from 0.5 cm × 0.5 cm to 10 cm x 10 cm.The resultswere compared and analyzed.Results All the data is most consistent for the fields size of ≥3.5 cmx 3.5cm,but they are obvious different for the fields size of ≤ 3.0 cm × 3.0 cm.The measurements seem toreliable using the chambers of CC04 and CC13 for the fields size of ≥2.0 cm x 2.0 cm.Conclusions It isdemonstrated that the accurate measurements and calculations of Scp and PDD can be obtained for the fieldssize of ≥2.0 cm ×2.0 cm,but they needed morc rcscarchcs for thc smaller fields.

It has been reported that celastrus orbiculatus has anti-cancer activities. The mechanism mainly lies in its functions of inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, inducing tumor cell apoptosis, repressing tumor angiogenesis, and reversing tumor multidrug resistance, etc. To study the material basis of its anti-cancer pharmacodynamics and the mechanism of tumor inhibition has significant meanings and a wide application perspective.

Objective To explore the value of combining Uniplate anterior cervical plate system with titanium cage to treat single level cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Method Observing the clinical outcome and X-ray results of 32 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy undergone anterior decompression, autograft fusion and internal fixation with Uniplate anterior cervical plate system and titanium cage. Results All patients were followed up for 3 to 12 months. According to bony fusion criteria,no implants breakage, dislocation or loosening was found in all cases in 3 months' postoperatively radiological review. According to Odom classification,excellent outcome was 27 patients, good was 5 patients, the excellent and good rate was 100%(32/32). Conclusions Combining Uniplate anterior cervical plate system with titanium cage to treat single level cervical spondylotic myelopathy has advantages of easy manipulation,safe, less complication and higher fusion rate. It is an ideal way for cervical anterior fixation.

Objective To investigate the effect of Acanthopanax senticosus saponin (ASS)on the protein and mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in human HepG2. Methods HepG2 were incubated with ASS,the expression of VEGF was detected by ELISA assay,and the mRNA expression of VEGF was detected by RT-PCR assay. Results ASS (250,500 ?g/mL) decreased the expression of VEGF protein and VEGF mRNA (P

This paper analyzed the main cause of the alienation of doctor-patient trust,the poor complaint channels of medical dispute,the lack of credibility for medical and judicial authentication,citizens' consciousness and other medical violence.Aiming at medical violence,we should popularize the concept of law firstly.Secondly,we should revise and perfect the act of medical violence,and promote the institutionalization of handling medical disputes.Then,we should strengthen the construction of physicianprofessionalism and perfect the medical identification.Third,we should strengthen the construction of mediation mechanism and import medical liability insurance appropriately.
