OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of diammonium glycyrrhizinate in the treatment of drug-induced liver injury according to present clinical studies. METHODS: Retrieved from CBM and the CNKI from 1994 to 2009, literatures about the randomized controlled trials that the effective rate of diammonium glycyrrhizinate was compared with that of other hepatoprotective with drug-induced liver injury and drug-induced liver disease as study subjects. RESULTS: 18 RCTs including 1,644 patients with drug-induced liver injury were enrolled. The effective rate of diammonium glycyrrhizinate group was higher than that of control group, statistical significance was noted in two groups (P

Objective To explore the main affecting factors on sanitary quality of public places and to assess the sanitary quality scientifically. Methods The sanitary qualities of 6 kinds of public places of entertainment in Taiyuan during 1998～2000 were assessed using the method of compreheusive fuzzy assessmeat. Results All of 6 kinds of public places revealed similar sanitary qualities. All of the sanitary indexes accorded with the related National Sanitary Standards. The sanitary qualities were better for ballrooms, theaters, bar and billiard rooms in hotels with Grade Ⅰ quality, and were worse for tennis and bowling halls with Grade Ⅱ quality. The assessments on single index showed that the affecting factors of sanitary quality of public places of entertainment were the levels of CO2, noise and CO. Conclusion The sanitary quality of entertainment public places was better during 1998～2000.

Drug induced liver injury(DILI) is one of the most common factors causing liver damage and liver failure in children.And in most cases,patients' manifestations lack characteristic features.Thus,patients will develop gastrointestinal symptoms such as jaundice,nausea,vomiting and abdominal abstention until serious hepatic dysfunction.Futhermore,some patients are likely to develop acute liver failure,even death,without drug discontinuation and timely intervening measures.Early diagnosis and effective therapies considerably make sense.This review aims to illustrate the mechanism,manifestations,diagnosis and treatment of DILI in children,in order to promote the early treatment of the disease,reduce the serious complications and improve survival rate in clinical work.

Objective To assess the effect of resident training in clinical skills on SARS prevention and treatment. Methods A survey was conducted by means of questionnaires on 101 residents of the authors' hospital who were at the forefront of the fight against SARS. Results Training in clinical skills assisted the residents to various degrees in SARS prevention and treatment. 100% of the residents surveyed held that the training was helpful, beneficial and assisted them in solving problems. Conclusion Training in clinical skills, which rendered the residents proficient in basic skills and more capable of clinical application of the skills, also enhanced their ability to handle emergent events in SARS prevention and treatment.

AIM To study the effects of cyclophosphamide (CTX) on the pharmacokinetics of buthionine sulfoximine (BSO)in Walker 256 tumor bearing rats. METHODS Walker 256 tumor bearing rats were treated ip for 4 days with saline or CTX in saline (20 mg?kg -1 ), then received iv BSO 200 mg?kg -1 . BSO concentration in rat plasma was determined by a reverse phase HPLC with fluorescence detection after precolumn derivatization with o phthaldialdehyde. Compartment model and pharmacokinetic parameters were determined by 3P87 software processed on a computer. RESULTS A single intravenous dose of BSO 200 mg?kg -1 was eliminated from plasma in a two compartment manner in tumor bearing rats. The pharmacokinetic parameters of BSO were as follows: In tumor bearing control rats, T 1/2? =(11 1?2 4) min, T 1/2? =(65?14) min, CLs=(12 8?1 3) ml?min -1 ?kg -1 , AUC=(262?26) mg?L -1 ?h; in tumor bearing CTX treated rats, T 1/2? =(8 2?1 8) min, T 1/2? =(42?3) min, CLs=(13 4?1 9) ml?min -1 ?kg -1 ,AUC=(252?35) mg ?L -1 ?h. CONCLUSION There is no significant difference between the parameters of tumor bearing control and CTX treated rats except T 1/2? .

Objective:To investigate the culture technique and secretory function of parathyroid cells in rats in order to establish experimental basis of parathyroid cell transplantation.Methods:After parathyroid glands were digested by collagenase and trypsin,isolated parathyroid cells were cultured.The cells cultured for 5 days were observed by transmission electron microscopy.Parathyroid hormone obtained from the cell culture fluid on day 1,3,5 and 7 was measured respectively.Results:Parathyroid cells cultured for 5 days had abundant rough surfaced endoplasmic reticula、Golgi bodies、stab mitochondria and secretory granules.Cultured parathyroid cells could secrete parathyroid hormone normally,especially on the 5th day.Conclusion:Parathyroid cells cultured for 5 days still possess original morphologic structure and have maximum secreting function,so it is an optimal donor for transplantation.

Buthionine salfoximine (BSO) is a chemotherapeutic sensitizor under clinical trial. BSO can reverse multidrug resistance in vitro and in vivo. The author reviewed the mechanism, pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics and the progress in clinical research of BSO. BSO is a selective inhibitor of 7-glutamylcysteine synthetase, the rate-limiting enzyme in gluthionine synthesis. Depletion of intracellular gluthionine by BSO can reverse tumor resistance to chemotherapeutic a-gents such as platinating and alkylating agents. In tumor-bearing animals BSO enhanced the therapeutic index of chemotherapeutic agents. Animals treated with BSO had a longer life span. Pharmacokinetics of BSO was a two-compartment manner in mice, dogs and huamn beings. The efficacy of BSO in cancer patients is being investigated in clinical trial.
