OBJECTIVE:To analyse the current situation and developing trend of consumption of cardiovascular drugs in Nanjing district,so as to provide information for the research,production,sale and application of these drugs METHODS:According to the order of sum of money,the purchasing information of the drugs used for cardiovascular diseases in 19 hospitals in Nanjing district between 1997～2001 were analysed RESULTS:The sum of money of the drugs used for cardiovascular diseases in 19 hopsitals in Nanjing district was increased more than twice in 5 years,and the consumption of anti-anginal and vasodilating agents,antithrombotic agents and antihypertensives occupied first three places in the category all the time In recent three years,calcium antagonists have occupied the front three places in the category CONCLUSION:With the increase of old age people's proportion in our country,the market requirement is enormous and the prospects for exploitation are capacious for the drugs used for cardiovascular diseases

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the application and tendency of the drugs for antiacid and peptic ulcer diseases in Nanjing area.METHODS: In ranking of amount of money of drugs and DDDs,the drugs for antiacid and peptic ulcer diseases in 22 hospitals of Nanjing area during 2003～ 2005 statistically analyzed.RESULTS: During this period,the amount of money of these drugs had progressively increased by 30.8% per year;The DDDs of omeprazole increased remarkedly by 36.8% per year.CONCLUSION: With the morbility of peptic ulcer increasing,the drugs of PPI for peptic ulcer become the first choice in clinical application,the constituent ratio of amount of money of the drugs increased every year.

Objective:To establish the cephalometric norms of soft tissue of adults in Xi'an area with normal occlusion.Methods:120 college students with normal occlusion(60 male and 60 female), aged from 18-22 years old in Xi'an city were selected.Lateral cephalometric film was taken by cephalometer for all the subjects at intercuspal occlusion.Then the films were traced on vitriolic paper, and the points were put into computer through digitizier. Statistic analysis were made and the data were compared with norms of adolescents already obtained.Results:Studied by Holdaway analysis,in the males FH-PgG' and Li-Pg' Ls of adults were bigger than those of adolescents, while Ss-Ls,Sn-H,Ls-Si and H-N'pg' were smaller(P0.05).Conclusion:The 3 sets of norms of soft tissue analysis obtained through this study may be applied as the norms of adults with normal occlusion.

Purpose To investigate the expression and significance of MCM5 and p16INK4A in cervical carcinoma and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 1,CIN 2 ～ 3) with different degrees of HPV 16 infection.Method RT-PCR and immunohistochemistryof SABC method were used to detect the expression of mRNA and protein in HPV 16 infected normal cervix,CIN 1 tissue,CIN 2 ～3 tissue and cervical squamous cell carcinoma and analyzed the clinical significance.Result The expression of p16INK4A and MCM5 mRNA in cervical cancer tissues were significantly higher than that in normal tissues (x2 =-6.589,P ＜0.001,x2 =-4.349,P ＜0.001).The degree of cervical lesions increased gradually (x2 =57.141,P ＜ 0.001,x2 =47.628,P ＜0.01).Expression of mRNA MCM5 was correlated with pathological grade and clinical stage.Ⅰ a-Ⅰ b period was significantly lower than that of Ⅱ a-Ⅱ b (x2 =-4.93,P ＜0.01),the expression decreased with the decrease of pathological grade (x2 =-4.017,P ＜0.01).The expression of p16INK4A mRNA in cervical cancer decreased with the decrease of pathological grade (x2 =8.560,P ＜ 0.01).The most obvious expression of p16INK4A and p16INK4A mRNA in squamous cell carcinoma.Expression of MCM5 protein and p16INK4A protein in cervical squamous cell carcinoma was positively correlated (r =0.497).Conclusion There is high expression of MCM5 and p16INK4A in cervical carcinoma.MCM5 can be a better reaction of cervical malignant hyperplasia,and p16INK4A joint detection for the improvement of CIN classification and prognosis of the significance of the judgment.

Robotic system helps surgeons in performing surgery. Currently Da Vinci system is the most popular. Da Vinci system has been used for the stomach and bowel diseases in 27 cases(18 cases of stomach and 9 cases of colon and rectum) in the Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. Accurate preoperative staging is crucial, and Da Vinci system is advantageous in lymph node dissection, preservation of nerve plexus, and complete resection of mesorectum. Adoption of gastrointestinal tract reconstruction technique should depend on the operation and experience in surgery. Though Da Vinci system has limitations and the cost is high, it is believed to be the future trend.

Objective To examine whether tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) is involved in arterial calcification of chronic renal failure (CRF) rats. Methods CRF model was induced in male Wistar rats by garage daily with 2% adenine 250 mg/kg. The calcification of aorta, femoral artery, renal artery and coronary artery was evaluated histomorphometrically by van Kossa-stained sections at 2-, 4-, 6- and 8-week respectively. RT-PCR and Western blot were used to observe the expressive levels of TIMP-1 mRNA and protein. Expressions of TIMP-1, osteopentin (OPN) and core binding factor α1 (Cbfα-1) protein were analyzed by immunhistochemistry. Results Serum urea nitrogen, creatinine, inorganic phosphate, calcium-phosphorus product and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) increased significantly in the model animals compared with control group after 2 weeks (P<0.01). Medial calcification was found in above four arteries of model groups after 6 weeks. RT-PCR and Western blot showed that TIMP-1 expression of model group was significantly higher than that of control group (P< 0.05), and obviously elevated in a time-dependent manner. The expression of TIMP-1 and OPN in calcified aortic smooth muscle cells increased obviously (P<0.05), and positive immunostaining of Cbfα-1 was found. The expression of TIMP-1 was positively correlated with OPN and Cbfα-1 (r=0.317, P=0.000; r=0.485, P=0.000). Conclusions The pathology of arterial calcification in CRF rats induced by adenine is similar to CRF patients, which may serve as a useful model of CRF with arterial calcification. The up-regulation of TIMP-1 seems to participate in the formation and development of vascular calcification in CRF.

AIM: To elucidate the change in TFF3 mRNA in the lung tissue in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rats. METHODS: A model of rat COPD was established by passive cigarette smoking and intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide. The expression of TFF3 mRNA in the lung tissues was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: Through a semi-quantitative pathological analysis, mean lung internal lining interval (MLI) in COPD model group was significantly increased compared with healthy control groups; mean alveolar number (MAN) in COPD model group was significantly decreased compared with healthy control group. The expression of TFF3 mRNA decreased significantly in the lung tissue in COPD model group compared with healthy control group. CONCLUSION: The level of TFF3 mRNA expression is possibly related with lung tissue lesion in COPD rats. [
