Based on vector auto-regression (VAR) model, this paper takes advantage of Granger causality test, variance decomposition and impulse response analysis techniques to carry out a comprehensive study of the factors influencing the price of Chinese herbal, including herbal cultivation costs, acreage, natural disasters, the residents' needs and inflation. The study found that there is Granger causality relationship between inflation and herbal prices, cultivation costs and herbal prices. And in the total variance analysis of Chinese herbal and medicine price index, the largest contribution to it is from its own fluctuations, followed by the cultivation costs and inflation.

Objective:To investigate the breakthrough point and working method of anti-infective clinical pharmacists for involving the clinical therapy. Methods:Through the specific cases, the effect of clinical pharmacists in ward round and consultation was intro-duced and analyzed. Results:Through communication and learning, clinical pharmacists could play an important role in such areas as indications, multi-resistant bacterium and adverse reactions, especially in adverse reactions and individualized dosage regimen. Con-clusion:To a certain extent, clinical pharmacists are helpful to rational application of antibiotics in clinics through ward round, case discussion and consultation.

Two parental strains BY-14 and BY-6,with high leavening ability in lean and sweet dough respectively,were selected.Through spore production and separation,two haploids with opposition types were selected for cross-breeding.At last one hybridization strain was obtained,with good fermentation ability as BY-14 in lean dough and better than BY-6 by 25%in sweet dough.

Objective To systematically review the efficacy and tolerance of levofloxacin-based rescue regimens for H.pylori eradication failures.Methods A search of Medline,Embase,Cinahl, CBM-disc was performed.Randomized controlled trials comparing levofloxacin-based triple therapy with bismuth-based quadruple therapy were selected for meta-analysis.Assessment of study quality and ex- tracting data to calculate eradication rate and side effect rate.Results Seven randomized controlled stud- ies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited.Ten-day levofloxacin-based triple therapy was more effective(86.9% vs 61.8% P

Objective:To improve the teaching quality of in-service clinical pharmacist training. Methods:According to the traits of in-service pharmacists and teaching methods, combined with problem-based learning ( PBL), peer-led team learning(PLTL) and lecture-based learning ( LBL) , a standard teaching mode for in-service clinical pharmacists was explored and established. Results:The teaching mode could not only improve the study enthusiasm of students, but also let them master the study methods, and team co-operation consciousness was strengthened. Conclusion:An integrated teaching mode of LBL, PBL and PLTL has a good teaching effect on clinical pharmacist training.

Pancreatic neuroendoerine tumors (PNET) is a complicated and heterogeneous group of neoplasia,and the incidence of PNET is growing rapidly recently.The current study on PNET lags behind what is known of other pancreatic tumors.Therefore,understanding of the molecular pathology is important for improving the early diagnosis,treatment and prognosis.With the development of molecular biology,there are already several potential targets proved to have application role in treatment of PNET.Here,the authors present the current knowledge about the molecular alterations of PNET.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of recombinant human endostatin (rh-endostatin) combined with Lobaplatin for injection and irinotecan injection in the treatment of advanced recurrent small cell lung cancer (SCLC). METHODS:A total of 88 patients with advanced recurrent SCLC in our hospital were divided into control group (41 cases) and observation group (47 cases) according to random number table. Control group was given Irinotecan injection+Lobaplatin for injection. Observation group was additionally given Recombinart human endostatin injection 15 mg added into 0.9%Sodium chloride injection 250 mL,ivgtt,qd,for consecutive 14 d,every 14 d. A treatment course lasted for 28 d,and both groups were treated for 2 courses. The clinical efficacy,the levels of serum carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),the scores physical state (ECOG) and quality of life (QOL) before,after treatment were observed in the two groups,and the survival and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared. RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group was 59.6%,which was higher than 43.9% of control group,but there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in serum CEA levels,ECOG scores or QOL scores,between 2 groups(P>0.05);after treatment,the serum CEA levels of the two groups were significantly decreased,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistically significant (P<0.05). In observation group,ECOG scores decreased while QOL scores increased significantly,and significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The overall survival(OS)of observation group was 16.8 months,which was significantly higher than 11.5 months of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The incidence of leucopenia in observation group was significantly higher than control group;the incidence of leucopenia and abnormal liver function were significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Rh-endostatin injection combined with lobaplatin and irinotecan can improve serum CEA levels and the quality of living aswell as prolong the survival time.

Isolated alkaloids from Coptis chinensis Franch. The compounds were identified as berberine, columbamine, groenlandicine, jatrorrhizine, magnoflorine, corydaldine and ferulic acid methylester. Then measured their bitter degree based on the electronic tongue and evaluated the antibacterial. The results based on the Electronic Tongue showed that berberine, columbamine, groenlandicine and jatrorrhizine have higher bitter degree than magnoflorine and corydaldine. And they also appeared better antibacterial activity on E. coli and S. aureus. The correlation coefficients between bitter degree and the two bacteria antibacterial activity were 0.983 and 0.911. So there was close relationship between the bitter degree and antibacterial activity of bitter components. Thus, it is confirmed further that bitter components are the material foundation of medicinal effectiveness of bitter herbs.
