This paper mainly discusses the development of animation courseware for medical statistics from the following aspects:courseware design,some related technologies in courseware making and the evaluation of courseware. The animation courseware for medical statistics can enhance self-regulated learning ability of students,from passive acceptance to initiative exploration,stimulate students'learning interest,raise their learning efficiency,and then enhance the quality of teaching.

In vitro cellular adherence of murine neutrophils (Neu), macrophages (Mo) and eosinophils (Eos) to infective larvae (L3) of periodic Brugia malayi was promoted by immune serum (AIMS) or fresh normal mice serun (fNMS). Mo and Neu were more potent than Eos . in killing the L3. Eos could adhere to the L3 in the presence of AIMS or fNMS but a weak cy-totoxic effect was observed only when AIMS was used. The activity in AIMS could be removed with Staphylococcus aureus containing Protein-A (SPA) or anti-mice IgG antiserum suggesting that IgG might be in the observed cytotoxicity. Immunofluorescent staining revealed IgG binding to the surface of L3 after incubation with AIMS. Heat treatment of AIMS at 56℃ 30 min resulted in a reduced cytotoxic effect suggesting the role of complement in the reaction. EDTA but not EGTA abolished this activity indicating the operation of complement by alternate pathway. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) studies comfirmed that the celluar adherence resulted in gross surface damage to the infective larvae.

OBJECTIVE:To summarize the method and experience of clinical pharmacist participating in pharmaceutical care for a case of refractory class Ⅳ+Ⅴ lupus nephritis (LN). METHODS:Clinical pharmacists and physicians formulated individualized treatment together,i.e. prednisone 30 mg/d+MMF 0.5 g,q12 h+FK506 1 mg,q12 h;on the fifth day of treatment,the patient suf-fered from ardent fever and increase of blood pressure,and clinical pharmacist suggested using linezolid 0.6 g,ivdrip,q12 h+merope-nem1.0 g,ivdrip,q8 h to control pulmonary infection;using Amlodipine besylate tablet 5 mg,po,qd+one Valsartan hydrochlorothia-zide capsule, po,qd+Arotinolol hydrochlorid tablet 10 mg,po,bid to control blood pressure. RESULTS:Multi-target treatment for re-fractory class Ⅳ+Ⅴ lupus nephritis achieved efficacy:the patient got higher plasma albumin and lower 24 h urine protein quantity af-ter 14 days;the patient suffered from secondary pulmonary infection and high blood pressure;physicians adopted the pharmacist’s suggestion so that pulmonary infection and blood pressure had been controlled. CONCLUSIONS:To ensure the effectiveness and safe-ty of the multi-target treatment,clinical pharmacists should formulate individualized treatment,focus on the possible ADR and provide phamaceutical care in the field of blood pressure monitoring,infection control,etc. when participating in multi-target treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the perfecting of hospital information system (HIS) on drug control. METHODS: The problems encountered in using two drug control systems in our hospital were analyzed, and the constructive suggestions on its improvemen was put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: The new HIS should be designed to overcome the weaknesses of the current HIS in code design, assignment of authority limit, drug application and dispensing, drug stocktaking so as to make full use of the merit of the computer management.

Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a DNA surrogate in which the phosphate deoxyribose backbone of DNA is replaced by repeating N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine units. PNA can hybridize to the complementary DNA and RNA with higher affinity than their oligonucleotide counterparts. This character of PNA not only makes it a new tool for the studies of molecular biology but also the potential candidate for gene-targeting drugs. The non-ionic backbone of PNA leads to stable hybrids with the nucleic acids, but at the same time, the neutral backbone results in poor cellular uptake. To address this problem, studies on modified PNA progress rapidly in recent years. We reviewed literature reports combined with our study about the delivery methods, including backbone modified PNA and PNA-ligand conjugates, and the cellular uptake of modified PNA. In addition, we summarized the problems and future prospect of the cellular delivery of modified PNA.

The PHD finger is a Zn-binding domain found in all eukaryotic genomes, and typically show a C4HC3 signature. Notably, many if not all PHD fingers are found in nuclear proteins whose functions are associated with the regulation of transcription, cell cycle and apoptosis. Increasingly evidences suggest that the PHD finger has multiple functions, including the protein-protein interaction, especially interact with nucleosomes. The pattern and combination of histone modifications, for example, methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination etc, have been believed to be an important regulator of gene expression and state of the chromatin, which have raised the histone code hypothesis. With the feature of specific recognizing methylated histone, the PHD finger may functions as an important reader of the histone code.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture as adjuvant treatment in the management of diabetic foot (DF).Methods We searched MEDLINE,Embase,CENTRAL,SinoMed,VIP,CNKI and WANFANG database.We also searched the bibliographies of retrieved articles and correlated proceedings and collected the literatures of DF of clinically randomized or quasi-randomized control trials of acupuncture as adjuvant treatment.After the data was extracted independently by 2 reviewers,we performed meta-analysis by using RevMan 5.1 software.Results Seven studies included 626 patients who met the inclusion criteria,and all employed clinical effects as evaluation indicator.Meta-analysis showed that acupuncture as adjuvant treatment could obviously improve the total effectiveness rate(RR =1.29,95％ CI:1.20,1.38,P ＜ 0.00001)and the recovery rate(RR =1.92,95％ CI:1.60,2.30,P ＜ 0.00001 ).No adverse reactions occured.Conclusions The limited current evidence shows that acupuncture as adjuvant treatment is safe and effective in the treatment of DF.Due to the poor quality of original studies,a prudent choice is suggested.Further studies with high quality and large samples according to CONSORT are also warrant.

Objective To investigate the entry points for clinical work of intensive care unit (ICU) pharmacists.Methods Through combination with daily work and referring the domestic and foreign literature,the characteristics of ICU medications were discussed to find out the entry point for clinical work of ICU pharmacists.Results ICU patients particularly need individualized pharmaceutical care because of the special pathophysiological characteristics and medicine use.Conclusion ICU pharmacists should provide pharmaceutical care based on Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics knowledge and focus on the drug dosage adjustment,drug interactions and adverse event prevention.
