OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of extract of Ginkgo biloba(EGb) on levels of Endothelin-1(ET-1) and transforming growth factor ?1(TGF-?1) in renal tissue of diabetic rats.METHODS:Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups:normal control group,diabetic model group and EGb-treated group.The levels of blood glucose,insulin,total cholesterol(TC),total triglycerides(TG),creatinine clearance(Ccr),urinary albumin excretion(UAE),and urinary ?2-MG were measured after 8-week corresponding treatment.Expression of SET-1,UET-1,and RET-1 was examined by radioimmunoassay technique.Expression of STGF-?1 and UTGF-?1 in serum and urine was examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).RESULTS:The concentrations of blood glucose,blood insulin,TC and TG increased significantly in diabetic group,which were down-regulated by EGb.Levels of ET-1 and TGF-?1.in both blood and urine and the ET-1 level in renal tissues were significantly higher in diabetic model group than in normal control group(P

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of pravastatin on serum levels of CRP and TNF-? in patients with diabetic nephropathy and study its possible mechanism in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. METHODS:28 patients with diabetic nephropathy were treated with provastatin plus routine therapy (trial group),another 28 patients with diabetic nephropathy were treated with routine therapy alone (control group). Serum levels of CRP and TNF-? in the two groups were detected after treatment for 24 weeks. RESULTS:The total effect rate in the trial group was 67.9% versus 42.9% in the control group(P

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the supply of emergency drugs. METHODS:The data of emergency drugs in the inpatients of our hospital were collected from hospital information system during 2012-2016,including the proportion and age of emergency patients,drug,clinical departments and disease types. The trend of emergency drugs was analyzed by using SPSS 16.0 software. RESULTS:The proportion of emergency patients and discharged patients were increasing year by year. The number of patients in <10 year-old and 10-19 year-old showed a declining trend year by year. The number of patients in 30-39 year-old,50-59 year-old and >60 year-old showed an increasing trend year by year. Among emergency drugs,the use frequency of Heparin sodium injection,Dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection and Flumethasone injection showed a declining trend year by year;the use fre-quency of Hemagglutination for injection,Penehyclidine ether injection,Atracurium besylate injection and Propofol injection showed an increasing trend year by year. Among clinical department,the number of pediatric patients showed a declining trend year by year;the number of patients in obstetrics department,emergency department,cardiology department,micro hand surgery department and pediatric surgery department showed an increasing trend year by year. Among emergency disease types,the number of patients with re-spiratory system disease,infectious and parasitic diseases showed a declining trend year by year;the number of patients with circula-tion system disease,injury and poisoning,certain other consequences of external factors,digestive system diseases,pregnancy,child-birth and puerperium disease as well as some cases originated in the perinatal period showed an increasing trend year by year. CON-CLUSIONS:With the change of the proportion,age and disease type of emergency patients,the type and utilization rate of emergen-cy drugs have changed. It is necessary to adopt effective measures to guarantee the supply of emergency drugs.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese medicine Jianpi Antai formula in infertile women undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(IVF-ET).Methods:A total of 300 infertile women who underwent 2 frozen embryo transfer procedures at the Reproductive Medicine Center,Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital were included in the study.The participants were randomly divided into study group and control group.The study group received routine medication plus the Jianpi Antai formula during the period of embryo transfer,while the control group received routine medication only.The general condition,embryo implantation rate,clinical pregnancy rate,live birth rate,and the blood routine and liver and kidney function were evaluated and compared between two groups.Results:There were 277 cases who completed the study,including 134 in the study group and 143 in the control group.The embryo implantation rate(68.7%vs.55.9%),the clinical pregnancy rate(56.7%vs.44.8%)and the live birth rate(50.7%vs.37.8%)in the study group were all higher than those in the control group(all P＜0.05).Subgroup analysis revealed that in patients of advanced age(≥35 years)and those with decreased ovarian reserve function(anti-Müllerian hormone＜1.68 ng/mL),the embryo implantation rate,clinical pregnancy rate,and live birth rate in the study group were all higher than those in the control group(all P＜0.05).During the follow-up period,there were no abnormalities in the basic vital signs of both groups,and no adverse events were reported.Conclusion:Jianpi Antai formula can safely improve the embryo implantation rate in infertile women undergoing IVF-ET,reduce the embryo miscarriage rate,increase the live birth rate as well as improve the clinical outcomes.
